Lei Feng doesn't care, but Lei Ting does. After all, this child grew up in the Thunder God Tribe, and his feelings for the Thunder God Tribe are not fake.
As the years passed, the Thunder God Tribe never ceased its expansion and conquests, but the gap between them and the Sea Tribe grew ever wider. The Thunder God Tribe, boasting a population of over 10,000, had only a third of the population of Sea Sail City, which also produced salt and possessed bronze artifacts...the disparity in war potential was enormous.
What does the Thunder God Tribe have? Apart from sweet potatoes, they have almost nothing. How can they compete with the Sea Tribe?
It's such a poor place, with no salt, no copper, no linen, no lime, no coal... What's the point of fighting with the Qingfeng tribe?
The Thunder are confused and can't find the direction and motivation to move forward.
"There's nothing to be confused about. If there's no one, we can just go and rob them. We have sweet potatoes. As long as we have food, why should we be afraid of not having enough people?" The old Taoist priest Lei Feng comforted Lei Ting.
"Yeah?"
"Of course it is. Is it a big deal that Haifan City has 30,000 people?" Lei Feng curled his lips. When his cultivation level is higher in the future and he needs more blood and energy, he will go to attack the Sea Tribe sooner or later.
"Kidnap people? Old Taoist priest, are you talking about the big jungle in the west?" Surrounding the Thunder God Tribe, there is not only a big jungle in the south, but also grasslands and big jungles farther west.
"For the time being, we'd better not have a direct conflict with the Sea Tribe, and don't go to the warm area in the east to start a war. There are quite a few people in the big jungle in the west. We can just snatch them away and use them for our own purposes. We are cultivators of the gods, so it's not a big deal to subdue some mortals." As a cultivator of the gods, of course he has his own pride.
"Okay, we'll send out troops after the spring plowing next year." Lei Ting thought about it and it made sense.
The sweet potato yield is over a thousand kilograms per mu, which is indeed a very high yield and can feed a lot of people. There is a lot of arable land suitable for sweet potato cultivation in this core area. As long as there are enough people, the area of sweet potato cultivation can be expanded.
As for whether you can eat enough? As long as you don't starve to death, that's all you need to live like that, right?
…
"High Priest, many tribes have fled to the warm zone. What's the point of our Thunder God Tribe fighting each other?" The Qingfeng tribe was also filled with war-weariness, and the chief Fengshan asked this.
"Who knows if there's something wrong with the Thunder God Tribe? They've been promised two-thirds of the water spirit stone mine (originally owned by the Ice Eye Tribe). What's the point of fighting for it?" The high priest of the Qingfeng Tribe was still unhappy. The purpose of war is to gain benefits. What's the point of a war without benefits, other than increasing casualties?
"Master, I always feel that the Thunder God Tribe is abnormal, especially their old Taoist priest." The young priest Feng Lan said. We are all cultivators, and our senses are very sensitive, especially after you observe carefully.
"I've fought him before. That Lei Feng has a high level of cultivation and is very powerful." The high priest also advanced to the mid-level Divine Master by chance. "That guy... his eyes are red. I wonder what kind of weird magic he's practicing."
If he had not been surrounded by many warriors to help him, the high priest would not have been able to defeat Lei Feng, as his cultivation level was one level lower.
"High Priest, I think this war will never end. This time it's for the so-called fight for the water-type spirit stone mine. What about next time? What if they try to steal our fire-type medium-grade spirit stone mine again? We have to fight again?" Feng Shan looked depressed.
"We can't really give up this mid-grade Fire Spirit Stone mine. We're counting on exchanging it for salt," Feng Lan said. Without salt, it's absolutely impossible. Even if we were to trade it for food, the Qingfeng Tribe couldn't afford it. Only the relatively useless mid-grade Fire Spirit Stone in exchange for salt wouldn't be too painful.
"Of course we can't give up. We still have plenty of fertile grasslands here, which are very suitable for farming and grazing."
"What should we do? We have to go out and rob."
"Then rob it."
…
Big fish eat small fish, the strong prey on the weak; this is always the basic law of nature. Perhaps it was the existence of Ma Yue, a time traveler, that caused the tribe to grow larger and larger. Otherwise, they would not even have the basic ability to protect themselves.
Think about it, in the earliest days of the Great Forest, fifty or sixty able-bodied men were considered a large tribe. Even the Niupi Tribe, with a population of three to five thousand, was a superpower to be looked up to. Now, it's just a branch of the Sea Tribe.
The Hai tribe no longer needs to rob. With natural development, the population and livestock are constantly expanding. Both humans and livestock can reproduce.
The kind-hearted Sea Tribe is peaceful and indeed presents itself to the world with a friendly attitude. Well, such a friendly Sea Tribe is still liked by trading partners and neighbors.
Bing Yueyue and Bing Yueshui finally came back. The two children had been traveling in Xishui Bay (it's not just an island, it's just the name) for so long, and they had learned a lot about the situation there.
The Dragon Scale Tribe of Xishui Bay fought several rounds of battles with the Sea Tribe's navy. Speaking of which, the Dragon Scale Tribe is not small and is comparable to the Haifan City.
Why didn't the Dragon Scale Tribe attack? Bing Yueyue and Bing Yueshui's intelligence indicated that the Dragon Scale Tribe's navy couldn't afford to fight. Not only had they suffered heavy casualties in terms of personnel and sailing vessels, but their kerosene reserves were practically gone. So, what was the point of fighting?
To put it bluntly, after several clashes with the Sea Tribe's navy at sea, the Dragon Scale Tribe's naval combat potential has been destroyed. Therefore, the Dragon Scale Tribe is now very wary of the Sea Tribe's navy.
The Sea Tribe is worried that the Dragon Scale Tribe’s navy will attack them, and the Dragon Scale Tribe is also worried that the Sea Tribe’s navy will attack them again, haha!
Of course, the Dragon Scale Tribe is weaker than the Sea Tribe. Why? The Dragon Scale Tribe appears to be about the same strength as the Sea Sail City, but their structure is different.
In Xishui Bay, the Dragon Scale Tribe existed as a dominant force, and the surrounding tribes, both large and small, were all dependent on it. In other words, the actual main force of the Dragon Scale Tribe was not that large, and most of them existed in an alliance.
Haifan City is different. It is completely integrated into the Sea Tribe, and its cohesion is incomparable to that of an alliance like the Dragon Scale Tribe.
Similar to the powerful navy of the Dragon Scale Tribe, it is actually a coalition model.
"Is there more than one West Water Bay over there?"
"Well, we traveled a long way on the spirit ship and did a lot of research. West Water Bay is the westernmost bay of that continent. Further east, there's Oak Bay and East Water Bay on both sides. Beyond that, the situation is less clear."
Mainland!
Bing Yueyue and Bing Yueshui were only looking into the coastal areas of that continent. Who knows what else might be found further into the continent?
"Are Xishui Bay, Oak Bay and Dongshui Bay friendly?" Ma Yue asked. This is very crucial.
"It can't be said to be friendly. There's not much war in that area, nor is there much trade. It seems that there isn't much interaction between them." Bing Yueyue and Bing Yueshui sounded uncertain.
"Is that so?" Ma Yue was worried that it would be the most troublesome if those guys united.
"Shang Yin, take two sailboats to Xishui Bay." Ma Yue called Shang Yin, the Minister of Commerce, and said, "Exchange prisoners, understand?"
