Chapter 866: Chapter 472, Straight to the Heart _2

A Green Skin youngster could either climb higher in this endless battle or die somewhere along the way.

This also led to a situation where once an area became completely Green Skin, their numbers would actually reach a certain limit. The carrying capacity of the land and nutrition, as well as internal strife among the Green Skins, would curb their numbers, achieving a dynamic equilibrium.

According to scholars in the Star Domain who studied Green Skins, an alien species, the total number of Green Skin life forms within the four star sectors—only counting the youngsters and pests, not the Skugg Beasts—is estimated to be around 150 billion. Based on the usual ratio of one Beastman to ten pests, the number of proper Beastmen could reach 15 billion.

Before the third Iron Teeth War, this number might have been only three or four hundred billion. In twenty-six years, their numbers had surged four or five times, and they had all become warriors.

After Titus rose to power, the expeditions that unfolded led to a fierce craze among the Iron Tooth Orcs. In the wars, Green Skin Transport Ships were constantly moving Green Skins away from the four major star sectors without a moment's rest. The Green Skin Orcs were also scattered across various worlds along with the expedition.

In this process, the total number of Green Skins moved out of the four major star sectors might have already exceeded seventy billion.

The total population of the Iron-Tooth Clan had definitely increased during the last four years of warfare, even as they were constantly involved in war and continuously losing people in the brutal battles. In the Eastern War Zone alone, Gu Hang was wiping them out by the billions. The Green Skins' losses on other battlefields, especially the main frontal ones, were estimated to be immense.

However, with vast living spaces freed up within their homelands in the four major star sectors, their population began to explode; after taking root on various planets, their populations also started to grow.

Of course, the latter's contribution to growth was actually not that significant after only four years; but in their homelands, where ecosystems had long been established, the numbers of Green Skins were rising fiercely.

Yet in this process, due to overextension of their battle lines and the continuous transport ship movements without pause, the population of the Green Skin homelands within the four star sectors was in a downtrend.
