"We're at an estuary, going upstream along the river that leads to this estuary. We've come across a large inland tribe." Bing Yueyue continued, "The population of that tribe isn't very large, around 10,000 or so."
Bing Yueyue was now speaking in a rather arrogant tone, saying that a tribe of over 10,000 people was not considered large. In fact, compared to the current Sea Tribe, it was indeed not large.
But their copperware is amazing. Almost all the armed forces of this large tribe are equipped with copper axes like this. Oh my god, what kind of copper does this require?
The most frustrating thing was that the tribe's copper smelting skills weren't very good. The copper had varying hardnesses, and without the right copper-tin ratio, the chance of a finished product was roughly 1 in 50. Bing Yueyue had inquired and learned that copper axes had only been widely used in this tribe for decades.
It can be seen that the level of development of this large tribe lasted for a long time.
Of course, the waste is not that much. The scrap can be recycled and reforged. In short, if you are lucky, a copper axe with suitable hardness will be produced.
This large tribe has an army of three thousand strong men armed with tough and sharp copper axes. Who would dare to provoke them? It is said that they have also clashed with large-scale cavalry from the grassland tribes... Advanced weapons, unmatched...
"Don't they have spearmen?" Ma Yue was very skeptical, wondering how they would deal with the cavalry's charge.
"Goddammit, look at this again. They have a thousand of these long-axe soldiers."
Ma Yue was speechless. Such a long axe handle must be more than three meters long. It was made of copper, and the copper axe head was much larger. Even a war horse could not carry such a big thing.
Does it look like the Tang Dynasty's "Mo Dao Corps"? The Tang army's Mo Dao was very long and heavy, and was a powerful weapon against cavalry.
Such a big guy needs soldiers like strongmen to use it.
Soldiers of this era didn't have any martial arts skills, let alone dodging or maneuvering. On the battlefield, they just hacked and slashed, and of course, whoever had the most advanced weapons was the most powerful.
"Spirit, the people in their tribe are generally tall." That's right, if they are short, their overall strength will be small. "Their cavalry horses are not much bigger than our Hai tribe's horses, and they are very fast."
The horses in this world aren't very large. If they were a little bigger, would they be similar to the war horses of the previous life? Taking all these factors into consideration, this is a powerful army.
They should be very far away and pose no threat to the Sea Tribe for the time being. Besides, they are only three or four thousand soldiers, so Ma Yue is not afraid.
"Is trade possible?" Ma Yue asked.
"It is very difficult for a ship to go upstream, mainly because the river is not deep enough." The sea tribe now has new sailing ships. The hull has an extra layer and is much larger, so the waterline is deeper.
"If it's an old-fashioned sea vessel, the distance is too far, and it doesn't have the ability to go back on the sea."
Taking all factors into consideration, the Bing Yueyue sisters made a discovery this time, but it is not of much significance at the moment.
Ma Yueguang stared at the seashore. It seemed that there were powerful tribes in the inland as well.
Since it's pointless to attack the Sea Tribe right now, just leave them alone for now and do what needs to be done. With the return of the Bingyueyue sisters, there's no need for Ma Yue to intervene in the reorganization of the defectors from the Guiluowang Tribe.
The Guiluo King Tribe's chief witch suddenly decided to surrender to the Hai Tribe, catching the various factions on East Sea Island off guard. With the Guiyu King Tribe already in Dragon Scale City, there was no need to stop them. Their able-bodied men and horses had already left, so what was the point of leaving their elderly and weak behind?
Indeed, two thousand able-bodied men and two thousand horses were practically the last remaining basic fighting force of the Guiluo King Tribe. Was it too little? In the past, it was truly a significant amount. A thousand able-bodied men would have been considered a super-large tribe.
However, the current situation, with only two thousand cavalry, is really not good enough. The old witch of the Guiluo King Tribe is desperate. On the East Sea Island, there is almost no way for the Guiluo King Tribe to survive. The grassland people and the Guilin King Tribe on both sides are powerful tribes with the presence of the Wuwang Great Witch.
As for the idea of "surviving in the cracks," he was practically dying, and the Guiluo King Tribe's Great Shaman had lost all hope. A combination of factors led the Guiluo King Tribe's Great Shaman to make the final decision to surrender to the Hai Tribe, and he left the Divine Mountain with the many lesser shamans who were willing to follow him.
"Great Witch, what should we do?" The Ghost Fish King tribe was the only one left in Dragon Scale City. They had suffered heavy losses from the grassland people's surprise attack. The main group of people was not much larger than the Ghost Luo King tribe.
"Let's go out to sea." The Great Shaman of the Ghost Fish King Tribe was helpless. Staying? The Grassland People and the Ghost Forest King Tribe on either side couldn't defeat them either. After all, they all had powerful Martial Kings. It was said that the people in this Ghost Town area were too wary of powerful spiritual cultivators.
Even if we exclude the powerful King Wu and the Great Wizard, our troops are much fewer than theirs. How can we play?
"Going to Lingguo Island?"
"Yes, we can only slowly open up a living space for my Ghost Fish King Tribe." The chief witch of the Ghost Fish King Tribe is still young and in good spirits. He is still full of hope for the future. Naturally, he will not give up the tribe. He wants to make a comeback anyway.
Survival was relatively easy on Lingguo Island, with its abundance of fruit. Initially, you could only scrape by; development took time. At the mouth of Lingguo Island, several hundred members of the Ghost Fish King Tribe had already made their way there, spending over a year there. They were early adopters, so they weren't completely blindsided by the arrival of the main force.
Lingguo Island is very large and is far away, so it will not cause conflict with the Hongzang Tribe and the Hai Tribe.
Where did the Ghost Mountain Peninsula coalition forces in Dragon Scale City go earlier? They also went to Lingguo Island. It's called an island, but the major tribes haven't explored the end of Lingguo Island. It's big enough.
The main reason was that the Sea Tribe's Lingguo Island branch had set a good example. Currently, the Lingguo Island branch, with over 30,000 acres of arable land, was thriving. Therefore, many of the declining tribes thought they could emulate the Sea Tribe and survive on Lingguo Island.
"Great witch, we have no copper." This is the saddest thing. Without copper, it means there will be no copper plows and shovels. How can we develop agricultural farming?
"Don't worry, I have a way."
So, the Ghost Fish King also migrated.
The Dragon Scale City is deserted, and there are many small tribes around it, but they dare not enter the city.
It seemed that neither the Tengu Tribe of the Grassland People nor the Guiluowang Tribe of East Water Bay had any interest in Dragon Scale City and ignored it. Each had their own interests in their own region and was busy with their own affairs. How could they have the time to care about Dragon Scale City? To put it bluntly, Dragon Scale City was no longer of any interest to them.
The major forces looked around and found that the most lively place at the moment was the bush-covered Lingguo Island.
Not to mention that the Sea Tribe had already completed the Stone City on Lingguo Island, the Red Tibetan Tribe had actually discovered a copper mine on Lingguo Island. Isn't this a huge profit? They had already begun to harvest copper plows and shovels through cooperation with Lingyin City.
Lingguo Island is overgrown with shrubs, making it difficult to cultivate farmland and even less suitable for large-scale warfare. If you want to attack the Red Tibetan Tribe now, sending too few people won't be enough, and sending too many people will make it difficult to deploy your troops due to the overgrown shrubs...
You actually watched the Red Tibetan Tribe develop on Lingguo Island.
