The atmosphere in Chief Ge Xing's home was a bit solemn. The beast that Xiu Yan killed today actually appeared in the tribe at the beginning of the cold season. This meant that there was a shortage of food deep in the Ainelu River Mountains, and the beasts had to come out early to forage for food.
"The beasts appeared so early, I wonder if there will be a large-scale beast tide." Chief Ge Xing sighed.
The witch doctor mother murmured: "The colder the weather, the less predators will come out, and the wild beasts will attack the tribe. It seems that we need to strengthen the patrol and defense of the tribe."
Ji Nuan thought for a moment and looked at the beasts in the house: "We still have a lot of green mud bricks for building the house. We can build a brick wall for defense."
The beasts' eyes lit up: "What a good idea! This way, we won't have to worry about the beasts randomly breaking into the tribe and hurting the beasts."
Xiu Yan raised his deep wolf eyes and looked at the beasts: "There are limited blue mud bricks left in the tribe. If we use blue mud bricks to build the wall, we can't build it very high.
It would be better to use blue mud bricks to build the walls on both sides higher, and fill the middle with soil and stones."
Ji Nuan looked at the stern-faced orc in surprise. My fat boy, it turns out there is more than just delicious food in your head.
She nodded in agreement: "I agree with Brother Xiu Yan's proposal. This way, our beastmen can stand on the built wall and patrol and see the situation farther away."
Xiu Yan's opinion was unanimously accepted by the beastmen.
For the safety of the tribesmen, the beastmen wrapped themselves in animal skins and started working in the biting cold wind. The female and old beastmen were responsible for boiling sticky grass water and making food in the house.
The beastmen divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some built walls, while others carried sand and gravel.
The Watson tribe looks like an inverted U-shape when viewed from a high vantage point. In order to facilitate the tribe members to dig caves and live in them, the surrounding areas are all smooth cliffs. At that time, the ancestors of the Watson tribe went through a lot of hardships for this territory.
It also facilitates the construction of the current city wall. Only one side of the city wall needs to be built to block the opening.
The beast tide is like a huge rock hanging over the heads of the beastmen, threatening their lives. No matter they are fierce or weak, female or male, everyone is actively contributing their own strength, and no one is lazy.
It took five days, and the outline of the tribe's city wall was finally built. The wall was as high as four orcs, and it crawled like a crouching beast to guard the Watson tribe.
There was a city gate at the bottom of the city wall. It was made of black rock wood that Xiu Yan and several strong orcs brought back from the forest in the wind and snow. There were six black rock woods that blocked the tribal gate tightly.
Due to material limitations, the gate of the Watson tribe's city wall is still designed as a hanging door. It is lowered when going out and is usually kept tightly closed to block the danger outside.
There is a staircase inside the city wall near the tribe that leads to the top of the wall.
The orcs were pouring sand and gravel mixed with sticky grass and water into the city wall, and the middle of the city wall was gradually filled up.
“Uncle Ge Xing, let’s build a small house here so the orcs can take turns to rest and eat. It’s too cold outside.” Ji Nuan’s ideas all came from TV dramas she had watched before.
Uncle Ge Xing had no reason to disagree, and nodded quickly: "There are not enough green clay bricks left. Let the beastmen burn some at home in the next two days. If each family burns a few bricks, we will have enough."
