The Cowhide Tribe has already started packing up. Let's leave as soon as possible to avoid being targeted by the Purple Tribe. Leaving early to a new location will give us more time to develop, right?

"High Priest, the grassland people... are finished!" Less than an hour later, the Horse-Faced Guard came panting.

"What? Poseidon City has made a comeback?" Niu Tou was shocked.

"Not so good. The grassland people attacked for the third time and were about to cross the defensive ravine. A cultivator even appeared and a giant 'miracle' fireball burned down the wooden gate of Sea God City..."

"I didn't expect a new stone doorway seven or eight meters long had been built behind the gate of Sea God City, and inside it was a newly dug defensive ditch over four meters long. At that very moment, a large amount of kerosene flew out of Sea God City. It was so tragic. It's said that the powerful cultivator from the grasslands might have been burned to death..."

This is truly... a miraculous reversal.

The people of the grassland thought that the Sea God City was at the end of its strength, so they decided to launch a third fatal attack. Even the grassland cultivators who were hiding deep in the grassland were dispatched.

Unexpectedly, Poseidon City also had a trick up its sleeve. It wasn't that they were out of kerosene; there was still plenty left.

"This isn't over yet. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the burning grassland people, five hundred cavalrymen rushed out of Poseidon City and slaughtered the grassland people without any organized resistance. In the end, they fled in all directions. It was a complete and utter rout."

How impressive! The high priest was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. How many troops were hidden in Poseidon City?

…

In Poseidon City, the Second Priest nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead. What a close call! This Luo Bai, really...

"Why are you so nervous? Didn't we win the battle? Look, so many prisoners and so many donkeys seized, hehe!" The one grinning foolishly beside the second priest was... Hai Rui!

Yes, some things are just so coincidental. Ma Yue had just taken a stroll when Hai Rui's fleet arrived to deliver potatoes. Poseidon City only had 500 acres of radishes, and they were very precious. So, they needed to ship a large quantity of potatoes to feed the residents of Poseidon City. As for the radishes, they should try to process them into salted dried radishes, which would fetch a higher price, right?

Hai Rui arrived at the right time, just in time for the grassland people to launch a massive attack on Poseidon City.

At least Hai Rui brought 500 sailors, all able-bodied men, a considerable force, so it's always okay for them to participate in the defense. Even so, the navy also lost two or three hundred men in this battle, which shows how heavy the losses were.

Luo Bai's command was quite good. Seeing that the grassland people's second attack was mixed with many old and young people...

What surprised and frightened Luo Bai the most was that there actually was an immortal cultivator among the grassland people's third attack.

Fortunately, the charlatan suggested building a stone doorway and a second layer of defensive ditch in advance, otherwise, if the gate was opened like this, it would really collapse.

Luo Bai was quite decisive. He waved his flag and threw out a large amount of kerosene again...

A large number of able-bodied men from the grasslands participated in this attack, and too many of them were affected by the fire attack.

So, Luo Bai finally made a decisive decision and quickly built a prefabricated wooden plank bridge across the defensive ditch in the stone gate. He assembled the last 500 wildebeests in Poseidon City, along with the surviving regular and deputy soldiers of the Poseidon City army, and the 500 cavalry charged out.

Are the grassland people really that powerful? They rely on their numbers, but in reality, they have little professional training. Once things get out of hand, they become a mob.

The five hundred organized cavalrymen from Poseidon City quickly defeated some of the grassland cavalrymen who were still in groups, and the rest were pursued by small teams.

The same is true for cavalry: only large-scale cavalry poses a threat; once the cavalry is scattered, they pose no threat at all. Of course, after three sieges, the grassland people did suffer heavy losses.

Luo Bai's attack was a good bet. Poseidon City had survived this heavy battle and emerged victorious, defeating and crushing the grassland army. The grassland people suffered heavy casualties.

Attacking a city required crossing defensive ditches and scaling the walls with ladders. Cavalry couldn't attack the city, so they had to abandon their mounts and attack on foot. Fortunately, the attacking Luobai wildebeest cavalry defeated the steppe people and captured a large number of donkeys that had been abandoned by their owners. Over a thousand precious donkeys were finally captured.

After this battle, fewer than 500 regular and auxiliary soldiers from Poseidon City remained, meaning more than half of them were killed or wounded. The navy also lost 200 to 300 men, and the Poseidon City soldiers, young and old, who assisted in the defense also lost 200 to 300.

There are too many people on the grasslands. War and casualties are inevitable. Paying such a high price is worth it compared to the rich spoils! Especially the victory in this war has completely established the reputation of Poseidon City. If the grassland people want to think about Poseidon City again...

The Second Priest and Luo Bai still had to clean up the mess at Poseidon City, and Hai Rui also had to hurry back. With so many casualties in Poseidon City, necessary reinforcements were essential.

"Yes, Luo Bai is now brave and resourceful, and he fought well in this battle." Although the navy lost 300 people, but as a soldier, you have to go into battle when the time comes, no matter how valuable the technical arms are.

It’s better than losing Poseidon City, right?

"You charlatan, Luo Bai is indeed better than me and a skilled fighter." Hai Rui was still convinced. He had been removed from his position as the chief. Did that mean he was incompetent? After experiencing this fierce battle, Hai Rui was even more convinced.

"Everyone has their own strengths. It's just a different division of labor within a tribe. Maritime trade is the future hope of our Sea Tribe, and your value is irreplaceable." Ma Yue waved his hand. "You've worked hard, too. Appease the navy participating in this war, and let Yizi go deliver the troops to Poseidon City."

This is the benefit of the breakthrough in sailing technology, no longer restricted by near-sea currents. The garrison at Poseidon City is too weak and needs reinforcements as soon as possible, so the navy has the ability to send them there as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, this is just near-shore sailing, and it is not yet at the stage of exploring the deep sea, so the difficulty is relatively not great.

"Let's also transport the whale oil stored here to Poseidon City."

Poseidon City was facing many crises and there was not enough whale oil, which made Ma Yuedu worried. Especially in this war, the grassland people also had cultivators who could release divine power to attack the city, and they needed a large amount of whale oil to assist in the defense.

"I'll go to the ghost town later to exchange for some whale oil." Hai Rui knew his responsibilities.

"Can we catch whales in large numbers in the ghost town?" Ma Yue was very puzzled. With the technology of this era, how could we catch whales in the sea?

"I really haven't asked yet." Hai Rui also wanted to know. If his navy could also hunt down such a large whale, the contribution would be enormous. However, they kept it a secret.

"Okay, it's good that we can exchange it. We can't take all the good things for ourselves, right? Haha!" Ma Yue said with a smile, "As long as they still need our salt, don't worry."

"We will try our best to keep the salt-making technology secret. If they dare to follow us, our navy will definitely destroy them." Hai Rui made a solemn statement. Coastal defense is the basic responsibility of the navy.

The charlatan strongly supports the construction of the navy. The basic force is maintained at one thousand people, and sailing ships are still being built. With such good conditions, the confidence is also sufficient.
