The Hongzang tribe got the advantage. After all, the members of the Sea Tribe in Otter City had completed their spring plowing, which meant that the Hongzang tribe had occupied 10,000 to 20,000 acres of mature arable land for free.
The nearby intermediate-level spirit stone mines allowed the Hongzang tribe to receive a share of intermediate-level water spirit stones, which was a great bargain for the Hongzang tribe's spiritual cultivators. Previously, even the Wuwang Great Shaman of the Guiluo King tribe didn't get a share.
Of course, with the Sea Tribe gone, they naturally lost their share. Ma Yue didn't care. At most, they could trade. It was better than losing three thousand people, wasn't it? Besides, the Sea Tribe was in enough trouble with so many people eyeing the tempting Intermediate Spirit Stone Mine. Every one less was a better deal.
What's more, there are a lot of intermediate spirit stones stored in Ma Yue's space bag, and they cannot be used up in a short time.
Ma Yue hated the large tribes from Guishan, who were always prone to schemes and intrigues. Therefore, he contacted the Red Tibetan Tribe, a tribe of grassland people. The Guiluowang Tribe, another large tribe on Lingguo Island, was also treacherous, and Ma Yue didn't want to deal with them either.
The current location of the sneaky Ghost Forest King tribe was still unknown. Like a venomous snake, it hid in the shadows, forcing the Sea Tribe to remain vigilant.
The Tengu Tribe's envoys arrived, expressing their deep regret at the Sea Tribe's abandonment of Otter City. It was the Tengu Tribe that had originally invited the Sea Tribe to Otter City. The Sea Tribe then gave it to the Red Tibetan Tribe, which seemed like a case of inviting a wolf into their home.
The Sea Tribe said, "In order to better deepen the friendship between the two tribes, shouldn't the Tengu Tribe also give the Sea Tribe a spot to boil salt on the other side of the saltwater lake? Otherwise, you've already given the Ghost Forest King Tribe a spot to boil salt."
Of course, the envoy of the Tengu tribe would not agree. The salt in the salt lake is an important bargaining chip for exchanging good things with the Sea Tribe.
After all the talk, it's almost all nonsense. It's all for the interests of their respective tribes. What a bullshit alliance!
The Sea Tribe has made it clear that it doesn't like the Ghost Forest King Tribe. Everyone is free to ally with whomever they wish. If the Sea Tribe goes to war with the Ghost Forest King Tribe again in the future, you, the Tengu Tribe, would be wise to not get caught in the crossfire. Are we allies?
What the hell are allies? The envoy of the Tengu tribe curled his lips. When we needed your Sea Tribe to send troops, your Sea Tribe couldn't even help guard the city of Taki.
The representative of the Sea Tribe said, "I'm worried that the Tiangou Tribe might be dishonest." Didn't the Tiangou Tribe join forces with the Ghost Forest King Tribe to drive out the Bull-Headed and Horse-Face Demons of Dragon Scale City? You have a criminal record, so I'm being cautious. What's the problem?"
The Tengu Tribe is very conflicted about the Sea Tribe. This large tribe is actually not very aggressive. If you don't attack them, the Sea Tribe is very pacifist. When the Tengu Tribe went on an expedition to Lingguo Island, didn't the Sea Tribe take advantage of the situation to rob them?
However, there are too many people in the Sea Tribe, and the support they possess is very coveted, which always makes people have some unreasonable expectations. They would not be willing to give up without taking a bite of the fat and tender Sea Tribe.
It seems that the copper mine on Lingguo Island cannot be obtained, so it seems natural to get the copper mine on Hai Tribe.
The Sun City is on the mainland. For the grassland people, the mainland is their favorite battlefield. As long as they have a large number of people, the chances of capturing the Sun City are quite high.
Unlike the thorny Lingguo Island, the grassland people's cavalry couldn't run and felt uncomfortable fighting.
The Tiangou tribe had fought two wars in a row, suffering heavy losses. However, they had a channel to recruit new grassland people from the southern grasslands, and it wouldn't be long before the Tiangou tribe could become stronger again.
The sea-fighting tribe?
The people of the grassland are used to the separation and reunion of the major tribes. Today we fight together and become enemies tomorrow. They are used to this kind of love-hate relationship.
The Sea Tribe had the advantage of the copper mines, and their weapons were becoming increasingly powerful. In the battle of Sun City, the Red Tibetan Tribe's grassland cavalry didn't gain an advantage because their weapons were at a disadvantage against the grassland cavalry.
The sea tribe cavalrymen wielding copper axes could basically destroy the grassland people's weapons with just one blow. How could they fight?
The flying spears of the Sea Tribe are also very luxurious. Many of the spear heads are made of copper, and their lethality is terrifying. The grassland people's bows and arrows are no match for them.
The advantage of the Hai tribe's bronze weapons is huge. What's more, the Hai tribe's cavalry is becoming more and more powerful. Their fearless spirit does not necessarily mean that victory can be achieved by relying on numbers.
As for the big tribes that rely on the Ghost Mountain? The cavalry of those guys is even more useless.
"Great Witch, how about we join forces with the Sea Tribe to attack Lingguo Island?" Goji, the chieftain of the Tengu Tribe, was also quite enthusiastic. The lack of a copper mine was the Tengu Tribe's biggest threat. Although they could trade salt for copper plowshares from the Sea Tribe, the constraints were too great.
No one wants his or her life to be controlled by others.
"I've told you before that the Sea Tribe is the best partner. But what about you? The Ghost Forest Tribe instigated you at the slightest provocation..." Luo Yang, the Martial King and Great Shaman of the Tengu Tribe, said with a look of disappointment. "Don't you even think about how powerful the Ghost Forest Tribe is? The Sea Tribe only sent over 20,000 soldiers, and they forced the Ghost Forest Tribe to flee deep into the East China Sea Island. All you do all day is goad our Tengu Tribe into a fight."
"The great witch is right." Goji berry also felt a little regretful. He was instigated by the Ghost Forest King Tribe to expel the Sea Tribe members from Longlin City, but in fact, he did not gain any benefits.
The coalition navy and the Sea Tribe engaged in a fierce battle, both suffering heavy losses, with neither gaining an advantage. They finally realized the strength of the Sea Tribe.
Most importantly, the Sea Tribe wasn't particularly aggressive; that charlatan simply stayed home and farmed. Cooperating with a tribe like that was a bit more reassuring.
The most important benefit was that the Tengu Tribe would reap the benefits. An expedition to Sun City would require the four major tribes to unite. In that case, the Tengu Tribe's ultimate share of the benefits would be very limited.
"Great Witch, what should we do with that kid? The Sea Tribe doesn't trust us anymore." The information the messenger brought back was not ideal.
"Where does the real trust in the coalition come from? Do you think that charlatan from the Sea Tribe doesn't understand? Otherwise, the Red Tibetan Tribe just joined the coalition to attack the Sun City, so the Sea Tribe could have given up Otter City?" Luo Yang's tone was much calmer. After all, Goji was the chief of the Tengu Tribe, and his prestige was extremely high.
"The Great Witch means there is still a chance?" Goji's eyes lit up.
"Why must it be an opportunity for our Tengu tribe? Isn't it an opportunity for the Hai tribe?" Luo Yang asked back.
"I see. The Sea Tribe also has its own crisis. The latest news is that not only has Otter City withdrawn, but the Red River Valley branch has also withdrawn and is migrating to Sun City. There are tens of thousands of people." Goji berries are certainly not stupid, otherwise, he would not be a successful chief.
"Well, the Sea Tribe has been attacked by the coalition forces several times, so we have to prepare for a rainy day, right? Who do you think would be the most suitable alliance partner for the Sea Tribe?"
"Great Witch, the Sea Tribe seems to have a strong opinion of the Great Tribe that originated from Guishan."
"That's right. The two major tribes that originated from Guishan are too obsessed with playing tricks. In the two melees between the four major tribes, the heaviest losses came from our Tengu Tribe and the Hongzang Tribe of Lingguo Island. Judging from the fierce fighting, the losses of the Guilin King Tribe and the Guiluo King Tribe were not too great."
"That's right, a bunch of cunning guys." Goji berry was also dissatisfied.
