The Dragon Scale Tribe had been practically emptied by the Sea Tribe, and yet they were still asking for a ridiculous amount of compensation. The Sea Tribe withdrew, abandoning their chief witch. The cavalry also took a large amount of supplies with them. Xishui Bay truly lacked large livestock, and Ma Yue, disdaining the burden, only took a little over a thousand captives.
This is a lot, and the ratio of men to women that Ma Yue picked is roughly right. They are all able-bodied men and can be reformed slowly.
The defeat of the Dragon Scale Tribe’s Great Shaman dealt a huge blow to the people of the tribe. People of this era just believe in this, don’t they?
The thousand people picked out by Ma Yue were captured by the more powerful charlatan of the Sea Tribe. They were fooled by Ma Yue's miracles for two days and gained some power of faith. It would be a pity to throw them away, wouldn't it?
Wangcai had already returned with the spirit boat. The captured ships alone could not transport so many people and supplies, and Huoshi's navy was needed to support them. Ma Yue didn't know that Huoshi's navy had already lost most of its troops.
During the waiting days, Ma Yue was constantly brainwashing the captured sailors and strong men, trying to naturalize them as much as possible. The rhythm of brainwashing was quite good. Most of the sailors were very impressed by Ma Yue because their own great wizard was not strong enough. This cultivator was really powerful.
"Okay, it's almost done. The enemy reported that the coalition forces of the Dragon Scale Tribe and the Taki Tribe should go home. Hai Rui, you take these supplies back first." Ma Yue said.
"Then... be careful."
"Don't worry, I still have nearly two thousand cavalrymen. We can go anywhere without any obstacles, haha!" The loss of soldiers was not heavy. The prisoners were a great supplement. As long as he had a little power of faith, Ma Yue felt at ease.
Hai Rui's luck was indeed good. On his return trip, he did not encounter the navies of the Dragon Scale Tribe and the Taki Tribe, and arrived at Haifan City smoothly.
A major battle was averted, and overall, the Sea Tribe had achieved a resounding victory. In the battles on Lingguo Island, they had captured three thousand prisoners, and in the first battle at Haifan City, the cavalry had also captured two thousand. Although they had suffered heavy losses, the addition of so many able-bodied men meant that the Sea Tribe had made a huge profit.
The Battle of Xishui Bay produced the fewest prisoners, but the spoils were too great. The sixty sailing ships alone made up for the huge losses of the navy.
There was a lot of work to do after the war, and Lei Qing had to return to Lingguo Island. She also needed to quickly naturalize the captured men from Lingguo Island. She couldn't rely on Ma Yue for everything, right?
"Flint, every battle has its winners and losers. Our navy is not strong enough, so if we lose, we lose. We can make it up next time."
"Hmm!" Flint was in the worst mood. Was it only his navy that was defeated?
"The Navy is counting on you to rebuild quickly. That Hai Rui guy might run away again someday, haha!"
"Don't worry, sage! As long as we have ships, our navy will recover quickly." Shipbuilding is a very cumbersome process, especially sails. Large sea beast skins are becoming increasingly scarce and difficult to acquire. Capturing so many enemy sailing ships saves a lot of recovery time.
The captured sailors still have some basic knowledge of navigation, and it will take time for them to adapt to the new sailing technology of the sea tribe. There will be a lot of work to do in the future reconstruction of the navy.
Baipi and Hairui are too naughty, with the typical qualities of navigators. The navy only has Shuichong and Huoshi, and they are too busy.
Yizi was transferred back to the navy. Ma Mian performed well in this battle and was transferred to Qiu Haicheng as the boss. Chun Wu was transferred back, and Niu Tou went to the Bai Wu branch as the boss.
Hai Rui was not naughty this time. The navy needed training and adaptation to sailing technology. Hai Rui had to lead and guide the team as much as possible. An old man like Hai Rui knew very well what to do.
White Eagle led his troops back to the Southern Branch. Fortunately, no ignorant tribe occupied the Stone City of the Southern Branch.
The Sea Tribe fought against many large tribes in various regions and still won a resounding victory, which was a deterrent to the large tribes in various regions. However, the Sea Tribe still did not accept people, so if you wanted to join the Sea Tribe, it would not be easy.
What's more, this time the Hai tribe harvested a large number of able-bodied captives, the proportion of able-bodied men increased, and the only hidden danger was gone.
Qiu Haicheng is that big piece of fat meat, or those 800 people. If you have the guts, go and fight.
After Xia Geng, the new Foreign Minister Chun Wu set out. Heading straight for the core area, would the fight be in vain?
The Qingfeng tribe was very tactful and paid war reparations in the form of 500 deer and a large number of mid-grade fire spirit stones; Chunwu did not expect that the forest coalition was also very tactful and compensated Haifan City with 500 horses and a large number of water spirit stones.
Since everyone is so sensible, the war between the sea tribes has been put down.
As for the ghost town, the current sea tribe is helpless. Neither the navy nor the army has the advantage, so there is no way to get justice for the time being.
Life has to go on. The post-war recovery of the Hai tribe is very orderly. The heads of various departments know what to do, and various productions are resumed in a timely manner. Ma Yue is very relieved.
"Divine Master, the Sea Tribe is indeed powerful. Even such a large coalition force cannot defeat it." Zi Ya in Qibai City was very grateful.
"The charlatan of the Sea Tribe is very cunning, and there are so many people among them, how can it be easy to defeat him?" The old priest stopped Zi Ya from joining such a coalition because he had his own purpose.
"Our Purple Tribe is still not strong enough to withstand the counterattack of the Sea Tribe. If we have the strength of a ghost town, the Sea Tribe will be helpless, right?" Zi Ya said. Zi Ya still had a general battle report.
"A ghost town? Haha!"
"What is the Divine Master laughing at?"
"That charlatan doesn't like fighting, but he holds grudges!"
"Master, do you think the Sea Tribe will attack Ghost Town again? They are very powerful."
"You don't believe it? In less than two or three years, the first target of the Sea Tribe will be Ghost Town. After all, Ghost Town is a coalition of three large tribes, and the Sea Tribe is one. What that charlatan needs is an absolute advantage. Do you understand?" The old master still respected the charlatan of the Sea Tribe very much.
"There is a copper mine in the ghost town!" Zi Ya suddenly realized.
"That's right, that charlatan won't do anything without profit. Is it really that hard for a ghost town to become strong? Do you think the Sea Tribe can't muster tens of thousands of cavalry? That charlatan always wants to get the most benefit at the lowest cost."
"The Hai tribe has so many large livestock." Zi Ya was extremely envious. Although the Zi tribe was close to the prairie, it was very difficult to sell large livestock.
The three or four thousand cavalrymen now pose no threat to the Sea Tribe.
"Salt! It's hard for the Purple Tribe to develop without enough salt." Zi Ya sighed. The Sea Tribe has so many outlets to the sea, and salt can be boiled everywhere. How envious!
"Therefore, the Purple Tribe must become stronger as soon as possible. Since we cannot compete with the Sea Tribe, we must take over Sun City. The salt mountain output there is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not worse than the seaside tribe." said the old divine master.
"Hmph! Damn you Moon and Star Tribes! They hid our salt production, thinking I didn't know." Zi Ya was naturally furious. They'd agreed to destroy the Sun Tribe and divide the salt mountain equally among the three tribes. But they were closer, while the Purple Tribe was farther away. Of course, the Moon and Star Tribes were the ones closest to them, guarding and managing the area.
"They are the coalition forces! We, the Purple Tribe, are one. There will always be opportunities, hehe!"
Ziya nodded. With so many large tribal allies attacking the Sea Tribe, it was inevitable that they all had their own agendas and wouldn't be able to work together. The Dragon Scale Tribe's envoys were simply deceiving Ziya. Their naval coalition had no intention of attacking Poseidon City.
