"Wu Qi, go ahead and try your best to cooperate with the Ghost Forest King's tribe in the land battle. We are the collaborators, so we should focus on guerrilla warfare whenever possible. Understand?"
"Understood! Don't worry, charlatan. We can't let the Guilin King tribe take advantage." Wu Qi understood what he meant. The coalition forces would be troublesome, and no one wanted to suffer too much loss.
"We must attack when necessary. Another purpose of our expedition is to train our troops and generals. If we don't fight a bloody battle, there's no point in going." Ma Yue seemed conflicted about Wu Qi's purpose in leading the troops into battle. Want to reduce casualties, but also want to fight a bloody battle to gain experience?
"It's difficult!" Wu Qi said bluntly.
"If it's not difficult, what else do you need to do? Damn it!"
"Spirit, we will set up a branch there later. We have suffered a lot of losses. Do you have any replenishment?" Wu Qi asked.
"If you want to replenish it, you have to return the prisoners."
"I understand." Wu Qi was relieved. He probably wouldn't be back for a long time. Establishing a new branch wasn't easy. First, you need a good seaport, right? You need a landing point for the Sea Tribe's navy.
Since the Ghost Forest King tribe has dispatched its army, they will likely seize Taki City after the battle. Fortunately, such a seaport landing point does not require salt boiling, making it relatively easy to find.
The Sea Tribe had already won the naval battle, so they were already entitled to half of the spoils. As for the land battle, of course, it was the Ghost Forest King Tribe that should have contributed the most. Otherwise, why would the Ghost Forest King Tribe get half of the spoils?
Are the Guilin King tribe bragging? They can deal with the combined army of the Taki tribe and the grassland people with just one tribe.
"Envoy, the rest of the land battles will depend on you, the Guilin King tribe. You can't try to be sneaky." Ma Yue said bluntly to the envoy of the Guilin King tribe who came over.
"Don't worry, you charlatan! Our Ghost Forest King Tribe is sincerely willing to cooperate with your Sea Tribe this time..."
"Alright! Let's get going soon." The navy had been resting for several days, and the envoy from the Ghost Forest King Tribe had probably received a bird message from their own Great Shaman. In the East City Trade Zone of Haifan City, all the major tribes had intelligence points, and the fixed bird message routes made communication very convenient.
This expedition of 3,000 troops was a significant undertaking. Firstly, it was a significant test for Wu Qi; secondly, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Batu, and Bu He, who accompanied Wu Qi, were all new recruits, including Pike from the scout group, who were being trained to lead troops.
Yang Hu and Ma Mian also followed. The combat mode of the Hai tribe was different from their previous large-scale combat mode.
The battle against Dongshuiwan was not quite what Ma Yue had originally intended because the navy's victory was relatively easy and because of the unexpected alliance formed by the Guilin King Tribe.
Originally, Ma Yue's plan was to send 8,000 troops for the land battle at Dongshuiwan. Otherwise, facing 5,000 to 6,000 grassland cavalrymen skilled in archery and horsemanship, he would be unsure.
However, now that the land battle has become the main force of the Ghost Forest King Tribe, the Sea Tribe only needs to send 3,000 troops. So...
The autumn harvest is over and there is too much free time. Now is a good time to fight.
The northern and southern divisions have also transferred a total of 4,000 cavalry, and there are more than 2,000 new recruits. What are they doing with their time? Fighting!
Damn grassland people, you stole my carrots and that’s it?
Sending troops by land is nonsense! It's too far. Never mind, going out to sea, detouring to Poseidon City, and then going to Sun City is much closer.
"Are there enough thick fur coats in the warehouse?" Ma Yue asked.
"It's enough! Haifan City's stockpiled and hastily made sheepskin coats are enough to organize an army of ten thousand for this winter's battle." The Third Priest had long known that the Divine Stupids were planning to send troops after the autumn harvest. In recent years, due to the cooling climate, the Hai Tribe had placed great emphasis on the storage of sheepskins.
Wu Qi took away 3,000 of the 10,000 sheepskin coats. In other words, Haifan City could send out roughly 7,000 soldiers, which was about enough.
"You charlatan, not only did the Guilin King Tribe give us thirty sailing ships, but we also seized thirty sailing ships in the battle with the Dongshuiwan Navy. In other words, we have the overall carrying capacity of more than thirty sailing ships!" Shuichong said.
"Are there enough sailors?" Ma Yue asked.
"Don't worry, Shengun. After so many years without a naval battle, our Sea Tribe's sailor training and reserves are no problem." Shuichong assured him, "Many marines have excellent sailors and helmsmen."
The Marines often go to sea with the Navy, so it would be a waste to just learn archery and throwing a double-ringed pottery sling. After so many years of sailing with the Navy, many have learned to operate a sail and can become sailors at any time.
"Great!" With the troops and ample transportation, what's there to worry about? "Let's try and see how effective the double-ringed pottery hurling line is at sieges. Damn! I just don't know if that bastard Gray Wolf can do it."
If Haifan City sends 7,000 people, plus Poseidon City also sends about 2,000 soldiers, what will happen if Gray Wolf ruins such a large force?
The three priests and the water bug shut up. Nine thousand troops, this was a matter of great importance. In fact, it would be best if the charlatan led the troops himself.
"Why are you looking at me? Okay, I'll go!" Ma Yue was helpless. It was not a question of whether to believe in Big Bad Wolf or not. The dispatch of 9,000 troops would make Big Bad Wolf himself feel overwhelmed.
Speaking of which, Ma Yue doesn't know much about fighting, but Ma Yue is a charlatan. When the charlatan is dispatched, it is very important to stabilize the morale of the army.
"I'll leave Haifan City to you. It's okay to be conservative, but it will be troublesome if we lose Haifan City."
"Don't worry!" The three priests and Shuichong knew how important Haifan City was.
