Primitive Man: I Am a Charlatan

Ma Yue, a half-baked immortal cultivator who blasphemed the immortal grand Ancestor, was struck by lightning and transmigrated. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth in this primitive socie...

Chapter 254 Where to attack?

Over the years, the powerful tribes in various regions have rarely harassed the Sea Tribe because they are worried about their war potential. The Sea Tribe also holds grudges and is ready to retaliate at any time. Over the years, except for the Sun City area, the Sea Tribe's revengeful conquests have reached every region.

Qiu Haicheng was streamlined, leaving only 800 people. Many tribes were worried again. After all, primitive people were also warlike. How could the harvest from hunting and farming be as cost-effective as robbing?

However, if we really talk about it, Qiu Haicheng doesn't have much money. The most valuable thing is of course the copper mine. But, even if you take it down, can you occupy it? Only the Hai Tribe has such a large population. Even if the three major tribes in Ghost City can send out 10,000 troops, they can't all stay there.

After Copper Mountain, the most valuable thing was the large livestock. Most of the Hai tribe had also withdrawn, reportedly to support the construction of the Southern Branch. Only 800 horses were left in Qiuhai City. Was it worth it?

Behind Tongshan, there are a thousand acres of cultivated radishes, and there are people boiling salt by the sea... It seems that Qiu Haicheng is really a treasure land.

Theoretically, among all the distributions of the Hai tribe, Qiu Haicheng is the easiest to fight.

Many large tribes have analyzed the situation of the Sea Tribe's headquarters and various branches. They've taken up a lot of space, and the division of forces is indeed serious. Does the Sea Tribe have such a large population, so does it have so many troops?

The trade zone east of Haifan City was filled with spies from various tribes, large and small. It was obvious that the ratio of able-bodied men in Haifan City was pitifully low. The elderly and weak boiled salt, farmed, and herded and raised livestock... Almost all of the workers in Haifan City were elderly and weak.

Can't the elderly and weak work? Of course not! A dozen children are more than enough to herd hundreds of sheep. Farming, after all, relies on large animals; they can just hold the plow from behind. Why do we need strong men? As for making salt, this place doesn't even have an ice age, and hundreds, even thousands, of the elderly and weak in the Hai tribe are busy making salt year-round.

It's not like I'm too old to walk. As long as I'm alive, I have to work. Only when I work can I feel comfortable eating, right? I work, so I feel comfortable eating.

Speaking of which, the elderly and the weak are happy in the Hai Tribe. You have to work, right? The Hai Tribe is so large and sophisticated that as long as you are a person, you can be assigned a job. Otherwise, what is the point of having a leader in the Ministry of Civil Affairs?

What the hell? Not full? Damn! Not starving to death is a good life for primitive people.

"Where should we attack?" This is the question that many ambitious people have been pondering when studying the Sea Tribe.

It's not very good for a tribe in one area to attack a sea tribe alone. How about uniting them? How about attacking from both land and sea?

Even Ma Yue himself did not expect that the first target of the coalition forces' attack would be Lingguo Island!

The Dragon Scale Tribe is so arrogant?

Of course, it wasn't just the Dragon Scale Tribe, the Taki Tribe of Oak Bay also joined the war.

Fortunately, the Sea Tribe’s navy began to send a fleet to explore Lingguo Island, so it was discovered in time.

The Dragon Scale Tribe not only discovered the entrance to the sea from Mist Island, but also discovered a new entrance to the sea from Spirit Fruit Island after following it. The Dragon Scale Tribe figured they couldn't handle the Sea Tribe on their own, so they decided to bring in the Taki Tribe from Oak Bay to join them.

"How is Lei Qing now?" Ma Yue asked.

"The fighting was very brutal. We had at least a few hundred cavalrymen over there, and the enemy had too many people. A conservative estimate is that there were more than 5,000 able-bodied men fighting on the landing. Shengun, you also know that Lingguo Island is overgrown with bushes and many fruit trees, which is not suitable for cavalry combat." The one who was brought back by the navy to seek help was Wang Chao.

“Is it difficult to transfer?”

"The chieftain didn't even intend to move."

Oh, that's right. Lingguo Island has at least 6,000 or 7,000 people. You only sent 5,000 men to fight on the island. Do you think the Sea Tribe is a pushover? While it's not suitable for building a stone city there, it's still easy to build a timber wall.

Didn't the earliest sea tribes rely on timber walls and defensive ditches to establish themselves? Do you really think that simple defense would be easy to defeat? It would be a deadly blow.

Lei Qing is a cultivator with miraculous powers. Although the troops over there are all gathered together temporarily, as long as Lei Qing has miraculous powers, there will be cohesion.

"Five thousand able-bodied men, that's a lot!" However, the Sea Tribe did not have accurate intelligence about the Dragon Scale Tribe and the Taki Tribe, and was not clear about the true war potential of these two regions.

"You charlatan, are you going to attack Xishui Bay and Oak Bay instead?" Shuichong asked.

"No, that's their home turf, and we're at a disadvantage." Ma Yue shook his head. "As for Lingguo Island, at least we won't be at a disadvantage."

"That's true!" Gray Wolf nodded. Once they turned around to attack the Dragon Scale Tribe and the Taki Tribe, it would inevitably be another landing battle with no support. It all depended on luck.

"You charlatan, if you could eat these five thousand strong men..." said the second priest.

"But, that's 5,000 strong men after all, quite a large group. If we increase the troops too much, Haifan City will be too empty." Gray Wolf was worried again. The dispersion of the Sea Tribe's troops was the biggest concern. And now, the war was coming.

In this primitive world, wars are fought over who has more people.

"Let the Southern Branch transfer back a thousand cavalrymen." Ma Yue said.

"Just a thousand people?" Gray Wolf was puzzled.

"Although our Sea Tribe is short of troops, if we really have to defend the city, we can all join the battle, old and weak."

"That's possible. If we return a thousand, there are still more than two thousand in Haifan City. Add to that the many old and weak, and no matter how many the enemy comes, they won't be able to defeat us." Shuichong was confident of this. If an old man threw a stone from the seven-meter-high city wall, it would also kill a strong man like you, right?
