The success of pioneer agriculture largely determines the future direction of the Dragon Grass Tribe's development.
The current primitive hunting and gathering lifestyle within the Kawa Great Forest can scarcely support the numerous large tribes, capable of hosting over a hundred thousand beastmen, which generally resides at the borders where the Kawa Great Forest meets human territory.
This is because the beastman's backward production methods are utterly incapable of supporting populations over a hundred thousand. The large beastman tribes at the borders exist because they invade human realms during the cold winter to loot enough food to sustain themselves.
If the attempt at pioneer agriculture fails, even though Austin has quite a few tricks up his sleeve, lacking sufficient food supply makes it even more troublesome to increase the population of beastman clans under his command.
