The chief witch of the Ghost Fish King Tribe felt somewhat disappointed. In terms of overall military strength, his tribe was no longer as strong as the Ghost Luo King Tribe. Most importantly, many of the newly formed Ghost Luo King Tribe's troops were equipped with copper weapons, especially knives.
How could a copper machete compare to a stone axe? Of course, their combat effectiveness has been raised to a higher level. Their troops are inferior, and their equipment is inferior to that of the Guiluo King Tribe. Is it only the level of cultivation of the Great Shaman that is being compared?
When a large army is fighting, who will challenge you in a one-on-one duel?
The Guiluo King Tribe's copper-making capabilities were limited, and the number of machetes truly suited to warfare seemed limited. However, if only a small number of them were equipped with relatively tough copper machetes, it would be enough to open a gap in the Guiluo King Tribe's army, thus determining the outcome of the war.
Soon, a large number of low-quality copper knives were sent to the Hai Tribe, where they were converted into ordinary copper ingots and exchanged for copper plowshares.
The Guiluo King Tribe's inefficiency in forging copper machetes is low, but that's okay. The good ones can be kept, and the unusable ones can be shipped to Haifan City and exchanged for copper plowshares with the Hai Tribe. Although this also wastes a lot of labor and resources...
"Where did the Guiluo King tribe get so much copper?" asked the chief witch of the Guiyu King tribe.
"We've found out that the part of the mining area that was originally allocated to the Guiluowang tribe is a rich mine with a very high copper content." Xiao Wu Xiaoshu said. Whether it was because of her high level of cultivation or her strong ability to get things done, Xiao Wu Xiaoshu is now undoubtedly the second-in-command of the Guiyuwang tribe.
"You've done a really good job of keeping the secret." Da Wu's mood was getting worse and worse.
"We still have half of the mines, Great Witch, we still have a chance. With the current advantages of the Gui Luowang tribe, it is unrealistic to want to destroy us." There are disadvantages, but they are not too fatal.
“Is there a big gap in copper production now?”
"At least half the difference." Half the mines don't mean half the copper production, right? If you can produce one kilogram of copper ingot, others can produce two kilograms.
"The gap will only widen." The Great Shaman was helpless. Because of his poor decision-making, the Ghost Fish King Tribe lost an opportunity to gain an advantage. He was old, and not as decisive as the young.
…
For the Hai Tribe, more copper ingots meant more opportunities for copperware processing. Ma Yue gave Dhaka plenty of leeway for expanding the copper workshop. "You asked for a hundred men, but I'll give you two hundred strong men."
Whether it is a copper plowshare or a copper spear tip, the specifications are basically the same. Why can't you mass-produce it?
Ma Yue inspected the bronze workshop and was quite satisfied with the pace of expanding bronze processing.
Ma Yue did not go into detail about the war, but if a real war broke out, the army would need more bronze weapons. At least in terms of equipment, Ma Yue did not want the Hai tribe to suffer.
Copper plowshares were already common in the Hai Tribe, and Ma Yue had originally intended to expand the production of tools. However, given the tense situation in the surrounding area, he had no choice but to equip the army first.
Since Ghost Town sent so many copper ingots and the production plan went smoothly, Ma Yue was of course satisfied.
Gray Wolf finally escaped from the sea of suffering and was transferred by Ma Yue to the Southern Branch. After all, this was a grassland area, suitable for cavalry raids. Thousands of cavalry were here, which was also a considerable force.
"What do you mean?" The table looked at Wolf in confusion.
"What do you mean? I'm here, and you don't welcome me?" It always rains over there on the prairie, which is really boring.
"Is a war going to break out?" The charlatan wouldn't send Wolfy here for no reason, right?
"The charlatan just said to be wary of the Thunder God Tribe in the south, but he didn't say we must go to war."
"The Thunder God Tribe has been in turmoil these years. They have incorporated some members of the Bear Tribe, and their military strength has increased a lot." The table nodded. The only tribe here that is worthy of some fear is indeed the Thunder God Tribe.
"How many people are there?"
"At least, four thousand cavalrymen."
"so much?"
"Not so bad." Even here, the table was trembling with fear. Although the Southern Branch had the support of Haifan City, the cavalry would have to march for three days, so reinforcements would definitely be too late. What if the Thunder God Tribe went crazy and attacked the Southern Branch... should they run, or not?
Although the Southern Division's manpower is limited, you are still protected by the Stone City. How can you just abandon it? With only 3,000 men to capture the city, if the enemy only has 4,000 cavalry, why would you run?
The current Southern Division has 3,000 men, but not all of them are combat soldiers. Half of them are elderly and weak, and the number of regular and deputy soldiers is around 1,500. It's not a lot, but not a lot either. It's pretty useless.
"I've brought a large number of copper spear points. Hurry and change your equipment."
"Oh my god! You said you don't want to fight?" The table was shocked. "No, isn't this a copper plowshare?"
"The copper plowshare is also very convenient for stabbing people to death, haha!"
"I understand!" The table wasn't stupid. The Sea Tribe had always emphasized increasing the stockpile of copper plowshares. The copper tip of these things also pointed forward, so of course they could kill people. The charlatan was trying to deceive everyone. Shipping so many copper plowshares here, nominally to support the Southern Branch's production reserves, wasn't that possible?
"Are you really sure that the Thunder God Tribe only has 4,000 cavalrymen?"
"We have more than one insider in the Thunder God Tribe. It was arranged by the early-rising White Eagle." Looking at the look on Wolf's face, the table thought a war was really about to break out. "There are so many copper axes underneath?" There was a copper plow shovel on the top of the bamboo basket, and half of it was copper axes underneath.
"Hehe!" Gray Wolf laughed wickedly. "The core area has also suffered a disaster. The charlatans are worried that they will join forces with the Thunder God Tribe to attack our Sea Tribe. If the conditions are right, we should first eliminate the Thunder God Tribe as a hidden danger."
"We should have taken action against the Thunder God Tribe long ago. Do you really think they're quietly developing without us knowing what's going on?" The table perked up. "Huh? Wu Xiaodong, Huo Liandao, you're here too, hehe!"
