The Second Priest had also left. The constant rain in Seagod City made it nearly impossible to do anything, and he had been transferred to Spirit Fruit Island by some charlatan. The only people left in Seagod City were the miserable Gray Wolf and, oh, Bing Yueshui, who had only been there six months.
No matter what, there are still about a thousand people here. Bing Yueshui is quite familiar with the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Someone has to take care of them, right?
"Why don't you transfer me too?" Gray Wolf is very bored
"The charlatan doesn't want to give up Sea God City just yet. What if this weather is just a fluke? In the future, we'll develop the grasslands on a large scale." Bing Yueshui said, "It's such a good outlet to the sea, suitable for large-scale salt production. It would be a shame to give it up."
"Salt!" Gray Wolf also understood that without salt, nothing would work. However, due to the continuous heavy rain, the salt production in Poseidon City was intermittent, and the output was pitifully low. It was worse than winter.
"Chief, Xinghe, the third leader of the Xingxing tribe, is here." A soldier came to report.
"What's the point of coming? We don't have much salt or food left in Poseidon City." Gray Wolf said helplessly. Poseidon City has nothing of its own, so why would they send you coal for free? Exchanges have basically stopped.
"Maybe he also wants to join our sea tribe." Bing Yueshui said.
"Our Sea Tribe doesn't even have enough food for itself, so how can we accept more people?" But Big Bad Wolf knew that the charlatan didn't want to accept more people. Haifan City, with a population of 30,000, only had a little over 20,000 people, and there were many empty beds, but he still refused to accept anyone.
There are so many people, and they need to be fed. How much food is needed to feed tens of thousands of people?
Bing Yueshui followed Gray Wolf to meet Xinghe, the third leader of the Star Tribe.
The Star Tribe, with several thousand people remaining, was considered a large tribe in the Great Forest. But, as always, with so many people, where would they get food? The arable land was barely producing anything anymore, so were they left to rely solely on fishing and hunting? Small tribes might be able to do that, but large ones wouldn't.
Ma Yue received a letter from the Star Tribe asking them to join the Sea Tribe, but unsurprisingly, he refused. The Sea Tribe was already short of food, so how could they care about the abundance of food from the other side?
A few days later, the Red Feather message from Poseidon City arrived again, saying that the Star Tribe hoped to obtain a piece of farmland in the warm zone. The Star Tribe's location in Niutou City was too far away, so they hoped that the Sea Tribe's shipping could help.
Why? Shipping is not cheap. You spend so many days at sea, don’t you eat?
Migrating is too far? Are you people from the Star Tribe so precious? Tsk!
"That's what I told you. The Sea Tribe has no sincerity at all." Xingguang, the chief of the Star Tribe, got angry and denounced the Sea Tribe for being uncivilized in Niutou City.
"Chief, do you think this still makes sense?" Third Chief Xinghe was impatient. He knew Xingguang's thoughts like a mirror. The Xingxing Tribe was already in this state, and you still had some ambition? If you had the guts, could you get some food?
"Xinghe, what do you mean? Am I not also looking for a way out for the Xingxing Tribe? You said you wanted to join the Sea Tribe, but they don't accept you. What else can we do?"
"Forget it, Great Chief, since we're all at our wit's end, I'll just leave." Xinghe didn't want to drag it out any longer. He really had no way to deal with the famine of the Xingxing Tribe. Most importantly, the Xingxing Tribe was stuck in this tiny Niutou City, with no future in sight.
"What are you doing?"
"What else can I do? I'm going to Haifan City, and from now on, I will have nothing to do with the Xingxing Tribe." Xinghe said and turned away.
"Big Chief, what should we do?"
"If you want to go, go ahead. I will never leave the Star Tribe. Sooner or later, I will restore the glory of the Star Tribe."
"Captain, the three chiefs took away five or six hundred people."
"Where are the wildebeest?"
"They took away more than twenty groups of wildebeest and some materials such as pottery basins."
It was a good thing they hadn't taken the wildebeests. The Star Tribe's greatest asset was their wildebeests, and a mere twenty or so of them wouldn't matter to them. The Star Tribe didn't have any divine practitioners or rituals these days, so the chief couldn't control the three chiefs any more.
It’s better for a group of people to leave, there’s really not much food left.
The Star Tribe split, and farming in the Sun City was also greatly affected. No one knew what triggered the internal strife among the grassland people occupying the Sun City area.
There are so many people on the grassland, and the scale of the internal strife is really huge.
Ma Yue received news of the chaos in Sun City. The only good news was that the core area was relatively peaceful. At least, the Qingfeng Tribe and the Moon Tribe hadn't fought.
As for the distant Sun City area, just fight it, it is none of the Sea Tribe’s business.
"You charlatan, a war broke out on the East China Sea Island, and the Otter Tribe was conquered by the Ghost Forest King Tribe." The spring fog is coming.
"Oh my god, what's going on?" Ma Yue was surprised. Could it be that the ghost town area was also hit by a disaster?
"Isn't the Otter Tribe's navy very powerful?" asked Shuichong.
"The news is not detailed, it just says that Otter City has been captured. Maybe, the Ghost Forest King's tribe also took the route of a surprise attack and broke into Otter City by land battle." The parchment carried by the Red Feather Messenger cannot be too big, especially when delivering letters across the sea, it must be lighter.
"It's not impossible. The East China Sea islands are underdeveloped, and there are many seaports along the coast."
"That's not right! If the Ghost Forest King tribe sends troops, will we give up our lair?"
The balance among the three tribes in Ghost City is fragile. If you want to capture Otter City, you need to send a lot of troops.
"Yes, there is a large copper mine over there in the ghost town. Something big must have happened."
"My intelligence shows that the farming in Ghost Town has not been affected much. There has been no civil war. It is said that the chief witch of the Ghost Forest King tribe is a wise man. Perhaps he has done some tricks?" Chun Wu said.
"Shouldn't the Dragon Scale Tribe and the Taki Tribe be easier to defeat? After all, they have all been dealt with by our Sea Tribe, and suffered heavy losses. Why is the Ghost Forest King Tribe targeting the Otter Tribe?" Shuichong didn't understand. Even if it was for the purpose of migrating first, wouldn't it be better to attack the weak?
"Could it be that copper mines have also been discovered in the Otter Tribe's territory?"
…
The situation in the surrounding area was becoming increasingly tense. Not only had the Sea Tribe noticed the abnormal weather, but the other major tribes were also looking for backup plans. The Ghost Forest King Tribe was the first to engage in a major fight, and next... Donghai Island was likely to be in chaos.
The three major tribes on the East China Sea Island have a strong navy but a very weak army. Their weaknesses are too obvious.
Sure enough, half a month later, the coalition forces of Guishan Peninsula captured the Longlin City of the Longlin Tribe, and two of the three major tribes on Donghai Island were destroyed.
"Charlatan! Tashan, the chief of the Taki tribe, is here." Luo Bai and the three priests came together.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ma Yue has always been concerned about other people's affairs but not interested.
"Tashan came here to seek military assistance from our Hai tribe." Luo Bai said with a strange look on his face.
"What's in it for me?" It's not something you owe me. What's the Taki tribe got? Can you give our Hai tribe millions of pounds of grain? Tsk! The Taki tribe has only been developing agriculture for a few years. They don't have a shitty food reserve.
Without food or livestock, why would they go to the East China Sea? Is it just to eat fish?
Even if it's Spirit Fruit Island, it still has a lot of spiritual fruit trees and spiritual stone mineral resources. Ma Yue has no interest in Donghai Island at all. As for arable land? There's so much grassland in the warm zone that hasn't been developed yet. What's the need for your little land?
