"Swindler, are we really going to Donghai Island?" Bing Yueshui of course heard what Horse-faced Man said.
"What else can we do? Just rely on the food distributed in Xi'an?"
"That's right. The food in the warm areas is gone. The gap is huge."
"For survival, we have no choice but to fight the two major tribes. Besides, our Sea Tribe is no pushover." If all else fails, then we'll just fight. Killing them all is better than starving to death, right?
"We only have 6,000 people in total, which is a bit of a disadvantage." Bing Yueshui was worried. The last time Ma Yue attacked the Guilin King Tribe in Dongshui Bay, he brought more than 10,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry.
The Tengu Tribe has more people and more cavalry, so they definitely cannot be compared; even if the Guilinwang Tribe was defeated by the Sea Tribe last time, the strength of the big tribe is not something that the Sea Tribe's 6,000 troops can contend with.
"Let's take a gamble. The Tengu Tribe and the Ghost Forest King Tribe are currently fighting over the black oil production area. I don't think they'll be able to take care of the 6,000-strong Sea Tribe for a while. If the situation demands, we can gather 20,000 people in Dongshui Bay. Even if they want to deal with our Sea Tribe, they'll have to think twice."
If circumstances permit, the Hai Tribe urgently needs to occupy the arable land in Dongshui Bay. Without sufficient food production, how can they feed their people?
It's very difficult. I'm afraid that after the Tengu Tribe recovers, they will deal with the Sea Tribe. The Tengu Tribe's cavalry advantage is too great. Even if the Sea Tribe is hiding in Otter City, the Tengu Tribe can destroy the Sea Tribe's farmland outside the city and the Sea Tribe will not be able to withstand it.
When the Hai tribe attacked the Guilinwang tribe, wasn't that a violation of policy?
No matter which of the Guilinwang tribe and the Tengu tribe occupied the black oil producing area, the Hai tribe’s kerosene advantage would be gone.
Otter City still needs to communicate with Poseidon City and Sun City by sea, and the Sea Tribe's navy is not at all advantageous. There are many problems.
"Then let's gamble. If we don't gamble, we really won't be able to survive." Bing Yueshui was also helpless.
The next day, Ma Yue and Bing Yueshui went their separate ways. Bing Yueshui went back to meet the navy of the Sea Tribe, while Ma Yue went to Haifan City to pick up Ma Mian and fifty guards.
"Horse Face, you take care of Nankai City. I'll go to Xiaoshan Valley to see what's going on there." It's freezing cold, and I can't use Red Feather to send a message. It's really troublesome. Currently, except for cultivators like Ma Yue and Bing Yueshui, no one else can move.
"Don't worry, charlatan, this Nankai City is much better than Haifan City." In Haifan City, Ma Mian was really depressed and could only stay in the big wooden house made of wood and warm himself by the fire.
Ma Yue patted the spirit horse's butt and said, "Old friend, you have to take me for a walk."
The cold weather was nothing to the spirit horse. Perhaps sensing that Ma Yue was upset recently, the spirit horse stayed with Ma Yue instead of running around.
Ma Yue jumped onto the horse's back, and the swift horse rushed out of Nankai City like the wind and headed straight for the Xiaoshan Valley.
"Charlatan!" Ma Han almost cried when he saw Ma Yue coming.
"Ma Han, this place is no longer viable."
"All the large livestock have been taken with the snowmobiles to migrate the tribes to Sun City. Many tribesmen really don't have snowmobiles anymore, so they can only migrate to the Great Forest in the West. I have no choice." Ma Han was very miserable. In disguise, he had abandoned many of his tribesmen. What else could he do? The large livestock in Xiaoshan Valley were also limited, and they couldn't carry so many people.
Ma Han was familiar with the charlatan's character. The sleds tried to drive away women (women were warriors too, even with weapons) and children. The soldiers and the elderly and weak had no choice but to migrate to the western forests. The Hai Tribe was helpless. The only thing they could do was to bring as much food as possible to these soldiers and the elderly and weak.
The forest has become a refuge. The depths of the forest are not greatly affected by the climate, so it won’t be so cold, right?
"The slaves at the Fire Spirit Stone Mine are all frozen to death. The representatives of the various sacred mountains are helpless. It's too cold to dig for spirit stones. We, the strong regular soldiers, can only walk around outside. We can't do any work at all. You charlatan, the representatives of those sacred mountains have all left."
Just leave. Not to mention that you can’t mine, in such a cold climate, if you can’t farm, what will you eat?
"What's the situation in the Western Forest?" Ma Yue asked. There were still nearly a thousand regular soldiers here. A long journey to Nankai City? It was too far. They couldn't make it, and they'd probably all freeze to death.
"I don't know if it's the jungle that blocks the cold, but after a few miles into the Western Jungle, it's not so cold anymore." Of course, Ma Han had to understand the specific conditions of the Western Forest. This was the basic duty of a leader.
"Ma Han, we can wait a little longer. Going to Nankai City is definitely not an option, Ma Han. It's too far. Gather the troops immediately and migrate to the Great Western Forest as quickly as possible. This is the only way out."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!" Ma Han was probably already mentally prepared. The temperature was constantly dropping and would get even colder. If he hadn't been waiting for Ma Yue's instructions, Ma Han would have already led the team into the forest.
A branch leader couldn't just evacuate his base. The overall situation wasn't something a single branch leader could decide. Fortunately, the women, children, and the elderly had already left, and the remaining thousand-plus able-bodied soldiers were able to move around much more freely.
Without large livestock, they had to move on foot. Xiaoshan Valley was long and narrow from east to west, and the western part was adjacent to a large forest. Due to Xiaoshan Valley's unique conditions, the temperature was slightly higher than the surrounding areas. Even the higher temperatures were relative, not much higher than Nankai City.
It's nice to be able to walk outside.
Without large livestock, we have to use snowmobiles. Even if they are pulled by people, we can always carry more supplies, right? Without basic living supplies, this team of thousands of people will not be able to go far.
It's really difficult to march in such cold weather.
