Ghost Town really didn't have time to deal with Qiu Haicheng. When the coalition forces returned to Ghost Town, it was in ruins. The worst hit were the Ghost Fish King Tribe, whose lair had been destroyed by the Sea Tribe.
The chief witch of the Ghost Fish King tribe went on the expedition with the army and returned to the ruined tribal base. There were less than two thousand able-bodied men of the Ghost Fish King tribe who returned with the army. After a lot of searching, they found many of their followers.
It still needs to be rebuilt.
Because of the existence of the Great Shaman, the cohesion of the Ghost Fish King Tribe is still there. The people in this area, especially those from powerful tribes, are still quite loyal to the Great Shaman of their tribe (it is not easy for Ma Yue to naturalize the direct captives of such a large tribe).
The Great Shaman's cultivation realm was quite high, a mid-level Divine Master. Even though the Ghost Fish King Tribe was nearly devastated by the Hai Tribe's devastation, as long as the Great Shaman was there, the Ghost Fish King Tribe's able-bodied men and tribesmen had a backbone and were confident in the tribe's reconstruction.
The Ghost Town area is quite unique, with many capable of spiritual cultivation. In other words, it has many people with spiritual roots. For example, in the Ghost Fish King Tribe, besides this highly skilled Great Shaman, there are also over a dozen Lesser Shamans.
However, the few remaining witches were not up to the task. Their tribe was invaded by imposters, and they failed to organize an effective resistance. Several of them were even stabbed to death by random gunfire...
"We still have three caves of food reserves in Yuwang Mountain, Great Wizard. We should have no problem getting through this reconstruction period."
The Sea Tribe only seized the Ghost Fish King Tribe's headquarters. How could such a large tribe only have one headquarters? The Ghost Fish King Tribe is known as one of the three major tribes in the Ghost City, and its foundation is still very strong.
"What should we do with the able-bodied men? We have recovered a lot of our tribesmen, almost all of them are old and young, great witches, and including the branches, we have less than 3,000 able-bodied men. This is very dangerous."
"Yes, Great Witch, the Guiluo King and Guilin King's tribes have already driven us out of Tongshan, and the biggest profit of our Guiyu King tribe is gone." It seems natural to give up the huge benefits that originally belonged to you when you are no longer strong.
The biggest benefit of Guishan is the copper mountain. The three major tribes have jointly occupied it for decades, dominating the copper-making industry in the Guishan area and constantly strengthening their equipment.
The importance of bronze artifacts is self-evident. This time, the Sea Tribe attacked and captured the headquarters, and all the bronze artifacts were taken away by the Sea Tribe. The branch tribe still had some bronze artifacts, but the number was very small.
Now, the Ghost Fish King Tribe is about to be squeezed out of the copper mountain industry share. Where will the copperware come from in the future?
"Xiaoshu, you just returned from Qiuhai City. Tell me what you think." The Great Shaman looked at Xiaoshu, his relatively promising disciple. The army had originally returned to Ghost City, and the three major tribes had left a portion of their forces to garrison the newly occupied Qiuhai City. Xiaoshu was the Ghost Fish King Tribe's representative in Qiuhai City.
Now, the Ghost City has been swept by the Hai Tribe, and they have made a surprise attack and taken back Qiu Hai City which they had just captured not long ago.
The Great Wizard must reassess the true strength of the Sea Tribe.
"Great Witch, the Hai Tribe's forces also seem to be insufficient. There are approximately two thousand cavalrymen besieging Qiuhai City. Their infantry is very powerful. When an equal number of one thousand cavalrymen fight against our coalition's one thousand cavalrymen, they have to dismount to fight. The coalition's cavalrymen simply cannot charge the Hai Tribe's infantry."
"The infantry of the Sea Tribe... are very tenacious. The sword and shield soldiers and spearmen are very fearless. Even if they are knocked away by the coalition cavalry, there will be others to replace them..." Xiaoshu described what she saw and some of her feelings.
Facing such a strong-willed enemy, this is why the coalition forces in Qiuhai City are no longer willing to fight. The Hai Tribe also has a lot of cavalry. If the coalition forces were to face the attack of the Hai Tribe cavalry... they would simply not be able to do it.
A strong army is built up gradually in peacetime. Habits become second nature, and the most powerful army is the one that can achieve mechanical execution.
"Great Wizard, their charlatan is very powerful. His aura doesn't seem to be very oppressive, but he is kind of tough. He just said a few words to me, but I felt very oppressed. I guess his cultivation is not worse than that of the Great Wizard." Xiaoshu said this, a little modestly.
The little witch had experienced the overwhelming pressure and imposing presence of an angry Great Wizard. However, facing the calm and composed deity, the little witch was extremely unaccustomed. Immortal cultivators naturally feared those of higher rank. The huge gap in rank was simply unbridgeable.
Xiaoshu still didn't understand the artistic conception of a cultivator. In reality, aura itself was a form of artistic conception, and it was the most common kind. Not to mention lesser wizards, even great wizards with spiritual cultivation systems didn't understand the concept of artistic conception. A great wizard's aura and pressure were almost instinctive.
Xiaoshu felt that even if the charlatan hadn't deliberately targeted her, he was still a bit stronger than her own Great Wizard. However, she couldn't say that in front of the Great Wizard.
"Great Witch, although the Hai tribe's troops are not large, they are very powerful. If we don't have a sufficient number of troops, it will be meaningless to attack Qiu Haicheng." Xiaoshu finally made a personal analysis and summary.
If they wanted to attack Qiu Haicheng again, how many people would the Ghost Town coalition need? Four thousand, five thousand, six thousand, or... well, that was a question of whether it was worth it. Even the three-tribe coalition in Ghost Town had limited numbers. Of course, relying solely on the Ghost Fish King Tribe was sheer nonsense!
Besides, even if the coalition forces captured Qiuhai City, the already weakened Ghost Fish King Tribe wouldn't benefit from it. You can't even protect the interests of the Copper Mountain in Ghost City, so how can you expect the coalition forces to share the interests of Qiuhai City with you?
Strength! Without strength, you won’t be able to do anything.
"Great Witch, the horse-drawn plow made by the Sea Tribe is very good and very practical for farming."
"It's a pity that they all stayed in Qiuhai City." Qiuhai City had been occupied by the coalition forces of the three tribes at that time, and everyone also divided the horse-drawn copper plows, which were not many to begin with (the Hai tribe itself did not popularize copper tools, so of course it was impossible for Qiuhai City's copper plows and shovels to be popularized).
"Great Wizard, the plow is not difficult to imitate. The main thing is the copper plow shovel." Xiao Shu said, "The copper plow shovel seems to be easy to make. The main problem is that we don't have copper anymore."
As one of the three major tribes in the former Ghost Town, the Ghost Fish King Tribe can of course also smelt copper.
"I will go and negotiate with the two tribes, even if it means paying some price." The great witch said. The great witch with high cultivation level is now the pillar of the Ghost Fish King Tribe. If it weren't for the existence of this great witch, perhaps the Ghost Luo King and Ghost Lin King tribes would join forces to destroy the Ghost Fish King Tribe.
The people in this area have too much awe for the personal strength of the cultivators, which is very similar to the awe for the brave generals in the Three Kingdoms period. They overemphasize the impact of individual strength on the tribe. The cohesion is strong, but the overall combat effectiveness of the army is relatively ignored.
In fact, generally speaking, in the primitive world, wars were fought by charging forward in a rush. How could there be such a thing as a military formation?
However, the high-ranking members of the Guicheng Tribe were greatly shocked by the sight of the infantry-cavalry battle on the edge of Qiuhai City. So, war could be played this way?
