"Never mind all that. Without the large-scale cavalry, the grassland people are no longer a threat. So many donkeys have died, let's have a good feast tonight!"
Donkey meat smells delicious. We have won this great victory that turned the tide of the war, so of course we have to celebrate it big.
The bonfire in Haifan City was bright at night, and everyone ate to their heart's content. Even the last bit of salt in stock was used to stew donkey meat.
After a war, such a celebration is necessary. Under certain circumstances, if people are too nervous, it is easy for something to go wrong.
A war between the Sea Tribe and the Grassland People, with no participation from any God Cultivators, once again shocked the surrounding tribes. The Sea Tribe could not survive, and the army of tens of thousands of Grassland People was completely destroyed.
As for why the Sea Tribe still had so much kerosene in stock, no major tribe had any information about oil. A fire started, and then, nothing was left. Who knows what it was?
Many of the larger tribes were extremely wary of the Sea Tribe's trump card, the Flying Ball. That thing dropped a blanket of kerosene from the sky, and even the King of War couldn't fly. If he wasn't careful, he'd be engulfed in flames.
Besides, if a large group of cavalry charged, how could King Wu resist? Wouldn't he just turn around and run?
In some cases, what the charlatan of the Sea Tribe said was right, 'War is really not a game for those who practice spiritual cultivation'. Especially when facing the various means of warfare used by the Sea Tribe, even a powerful spiritual cultivator would not act rashly.
Did the Sea Tribe still have kerosene stocks? No one knew. Kerosene was becoming increasingly important in warfare, certainly for the navy; but what about the army? Spies from the various tribes near Haifan City had proven that sufficient kerosene was equally crucial in land battles.
The Sea Tribe's land battle was truly fierce. Excluding the many old and weak, the grassland cavalry must have numbered at least 30,000 strong and young, right? Still, they couldn't defeat the seemingly weakened Sea Tribe.
What should I do?
Even if they could reorganize a coalition, how many troops would they have? Moreover, the various tribes were already fighting among themselves for coal, copper, and territory, making it difficult for them to form an alliance again.
The Hai tribe didn't care about what other tribes were thinking. Restoring production was their top priority. They couldn't let the farmland go to waste. They had to take care of the crops on a daily basis.
A large number of grassland captives were captured and thrown into Nankai City by Ma Yue. There were also a lot of potatoes being plowed over the summer, and they needed people to tend the crops. Don't know how to do it? Learn! If you still can't do it, I'll chop you down.
Without their donkey mounts, the grassland people, young and strong as well as old and weak, had little fighting power. Moreover, after this great battle, the grassland people were really scared and decided to rely on the Sea Tribe obediently and make do with their lives.
This is how people on the grassland are. Big fish eat small fish, small tribes often change masters, and they depend on whoever is stronger. This is the law of people on the grassland. There is nothing strange about it.
Following Haifan City's victory, the surrounding tribes became increasingly loyal to the Sea Tribe. Recruiting new militias went smoothly in both Beida City and Leishen City, and replenishing both troops and labor was not a major issue.
Although the Fire Sickle cavalry went to Nankai City, Beida City soon replenished 3,000 militiamen from Haifan City, so Haifan City was no longer empty.
"Charlatan!" Tie Lin came back.
"It's good that you're back. Don't get excited. Take a good rest for a few days..."
"Holy crap, a copper mine, there really is a copper mine, we found it." How could Tielin not be excited? Even though Sun City was lost.
"Found a copper mine? Haha!" What an unexpected surprise! The Sea Tribe's navy was restricted, and the copper manufacturing technology could be leaked. During this period, the Sea Tribe had no copper materials, which severely restricted production.
"A rich mine, an absolutely rich mine, and it's very easy to mine..." Tielin hurriedly reported the specific situation. If he hadn't gone out to identify the huge copper mine, Tielin would probably have been trapped in Sun City and died.
However, the Sun City fell, and the red feather that delivered the message was gone, so Tielin had to run back thousands of miles, and he didn't even encounter Luo Bai's army on the way.
"Rest for a few days first, and wait for Luo Bai's letter, then you can go to Star City with me!" That's right, the newly discovered copper mine is not near Sun City, but to the west of Star City. There is no need to be afraid of it. The most important thing is to have it.
With the Salt Mountain and the Copper Mine, the importance of the Sun City region is increasing. However, Sun City is too far away from Haifan City, making it difficult for the two to form effective complementarity and connections. The most important navy is gone, which is a headache.
It's unclear what's happening with Poseidon City right now. Even with a navy, Poseidon City is essential as a key coastal connection point. Back then, food supplies to Sun City were shipped to Poseidon City by sea and then to Sun City.
These days, sea transportation without large tonnage is simply unimaginable.
Abandoning the warm areas? And then there's no guarantee of food. What a contradiction.
Huoshi's fleet returned and indeed picked up the Ox-Head and Horse-Face at point No. 9 on Donghai Island. At least another group of people came back.
This small fleet of Huoshi, which was underestimated, brought back many generals and troops from the Lahai tribe, whether it was Lingguo Island or Donghai Island, and made great contributions.
"Never mind, Firestone. Your fleet is still intact. Go out to sea to hunt whales. We need the hides of sea beasts to repair the ships."
"Great!" Huoshi was delighted. The Sea Tribe had won a great victory, and he no longer had to be a pirate. The children who had been taken away by the ships could also be sent back.
As long as there are enough sea beast skins, we can not only repair damaged ships, but also build more ships.
The navy of the Sea Tribe is very familiar with whaling in Sea Area No. 7.
"There's not much black oil left in stock, so take it all with you. If there's an enemy, we can kill them."
