"Great leader!" The people of the Rain Tribe returned home with a large number of rabbits they had exchanged. 'Scale', who was unwilling to be lonely, had an idea.
"What's wrong?" Yu didn't mind the outsider "Scale" and even admired him a little.
"I think the territory of the Purple Tribe is very suitable for the future development of our Rain Tribe." Shui Gu said bluntly.
"I understand what you mean, but the Purple Tribe now has hundreds of warriors, so it's going to be hard to defeat them." As a great leader, what good could rain be? Primitive tribes were fine when everyone was equally poor, living in peace. But once profits became too much for them, their first thought was to rob.
Hadn't the Sea Tribe been defeated twice before? Seeing the large numbers of rabbits and sheep kept in the Purple Tribe's caves, it would be strange if the Rain Tribe's chieftain wasn't jealous.
"We can't wait any longer. It is said that the 'Purple' tribe is very aggressive, so we have to strike first. Besides, if the 'Purple' tribe continues like this, it will only become stronger and stronger, and it won't be long before its strength surpasses ours." What Shuique said seemed to make sense.
The Yu Tribe has also been developing in the past two years, and the number of able-bodied men has already exceeded one hundred.
"Let's go back and make a plan." We are all leaders, Yu, how can we be indecisive?
Things never always develop according to one's own expectations. When Yu led the team back to his tribe, it was already dark. Before he could even sit down, he heard shouts of killing outside.
It's over! It must be the Purple Tribe attacking.
Yu, you guessed it right. The chief of the Rain tribe was jealous of the sheep and caves of the Purple tribe. Seeing that the Rain tribe brought so many fat fish, the chief of the Purple tribe, Zi Ya, was just as greedy.
The most important thing is that the chief of the 'Purple' tribe is more decisive and ruthless than the chief of the Rain tribe. As soon as the people who were traded by the chief of the Rain tribe were walking back, the chief of the 'Purple' tribe summoned all the able-bodied men in his family and followed them.
Even though they were just a motley crowd, the Rain Tribe itself had no walls or anything like that, so the Purple Tribe's men easily broke through the Rain Tribe's resistance.
Many of the Rain Tribe were killed in the battle, and most were captured. This was the ultimate outcome of the conflict. For a time, the once wealthy and powerful Rain Tribe was completely defeated. From then on, the name "Rain Tribe" disappeared from this region.
The ferocious Purple Tribe chief 'Purple Fang' chopped off the head of the injured and captured Rain Tribe chief in public to scare him!
There are still three or four hundred captured people from the Rain Tribe. What should we do?
The Purple Tribe's High Priest, who had accompanied the army on the expedition, made a dazzling appearance. If Ma Yue were here, he would surely be astonished. Could this Purple Tribe's High Priest also perform magic? He danced in a mysterious manner, muttering something to himself. Finally, he waved his hand, and a circle of flames erupted around him...
Miracles! This is the best way to impress primitive people, as long as you can play tricks.
As long as all the captives kneel down, we can slowly win their hearts. Isn't that what Ma Yue did in the Hai tribe?
Scale is still alive. After surrendering once, he'll surrender a few more times, and he'll get used to it. Besides, catching fish in a basket isn't a delicate skill; many people in the Rain Tribe already know how to do it.
Having mastered a new technique of catching fish in a basket, the 'Purple' tribe reaped a rich harvest, with its population increasing by nearly four hundred, including more than sixty able-bodied men.
The Purple Tribe's chieftain, 'Purple Fang', looked towards the south, his envy mixed with jealousy and ferocity.
Ever since the defeat of the Five-Division Allied Forces, Ziya had lost fifty of his able-bodied men, and even his young son, who had just come of age and had joined the battle, was killed. It would have been strange if he hadn't been secretly filled with resentment. Since then, Ziya's personality has changed drastically, becoming even more ferocious.
As for the recently risen High Priest of the Purple Tribe, he's nothing more than a puppet secretly supported by Purple Fang. Perhaps inspired by Ma Yue's fire-playing skills, he decided to create a High Priest who could also play with fire.
Is playing with fire that difficult? How did the Cowhide Tribe defeat the Sea Tribe the first time they attacked? They attacked with fire. It's a simple truth: oil is the most important ingredient in playing with fire.
All it takes is a layer of animal fat smeared on a certain area beforehand. With just a spark, the animal fat will ignite. Isn't that why Purple Fang is so clever?
However, in the past two years, they have been conquering the surrounding small tribes and capturing captives. Relying on this trick, they have recruited more than sixty Qingzhuang, so it is certainly much easier to restore the strength of the Purple Tribe.
Of course, to exchange for sheep, you also need people. Fight hard, and you'll get sheep! The Purple Tribe has wiped out more than a dozen small tribes in the surrounding area, and recruited the Qingzhuang in exchange for live sheep...
"Sea Tribe, are you friendly?" "Haha!" "I'll wait until my tribe is strong enough, then I'll come looking for trouble with you," Ziya thought fiercely. Ziya knew that simply having more men wasn't enough; he had a bigger trump card, one the Sea Tribe wouldn't have guessed.
The Rain Tribe was annexed by the Purple Tribe. This was shocking news. Half a month later, the news also reached Ma Yue's ears.
Go ahead and make some noise, Purple Tribe. If you have the guts, come and attack the Sea Tribe? Tsk! Ma Yue is not the world's policeman, and the Sea Tribe is not a peacekeeping force. Continuing to accumulate capital is the most important thing.
The first 60 mu of radishes yielded a bumper harvest. The yield per mu didn't increase much, but we have more arable land. Over 100,000 kilograms of radishes are now in our pockets. Having food in hand gives us peace of mind.
Since salted radish strips are so popular with primitive people, I'll try bringing some with me when I go to Sun City to trade with the long-distance caravan. Salted radish strips are always easier to bring than large radishes, right?
The pottery of the Sea Tribe is quite a bit more exquisite, so I'll put the salted radish strips in a relatively fine pottery jar and take it with me. If the pottery jar can be sold, I'll sell it in Sun City so I don't have to bring it back with me. The pottery jar is heavier than the salted radish strips.
Fortunately, the sea tribe’s caravan has wildebeests with good leg strength.
Salted radish strips, green onions harvested in the summer, and coarse salt are all gone. After pickling the salted radish strips, the coarse salt reserves are running low. But the Second Priest insisted on taking all the coarse salt reserves, which is up to you.
If you can carry wildebeests, try to take them all with you.
The long-distance caravans left, and the vigorous city-building movement began again. It would not be a problem to complete the stone walls before this winter, and by the way, some large wooden houses could be built. With more than 800 people, the current two rows of wooden houses were too crowded.
Now that we have lime as the adhesive material, building stone houses... Ma Yue immediately gave up the idea. The project cannot be endless.
The primitive people thought the current large wooden houses were pretty good as long as there was a sufficient bonfire in the house and it was warm in winter. There was no need to go to the trouble of building stone houses.
Ma Yue went to the beach again. The two large concrete basins were surprisingly still intact. They were still sturdy enough to boil salt, though they were a little less efficient. Even the waves were difficult to estimate. Was it more cost-effective to boil salt in the concrete basins or the ceramic ones?
Okay! You guys take your time to figure it out. Currently, the limestone is mainly used to build stone walls, so we can't take care of the large concrete basin here for the time being.
