With two thousand deer as a base, Ma Yue didn't want to start a war anymore. This was enough. With more than two thousand acres of land plowed in spring, the summer harvest would yield over a million kilograms of potatoes. With a population of five thousand, that meant two hundred kilograms of potatoes per person, right?
There is still one season left, and there will be more arable land...we won’t starve to death.
Ma Yue was extremely satisfied with the appearance of potatoes. As a staple food, they were at least more filling than radishes.
It's just too monotonous. It would be so beautiful if the onions, garlic, radishes, and sunflowers from Poseidon City were introduced here. With such a pleasant climate, is there any point in going back?
Ma Yue was curious. Why was there such a rare and unfrozen land in this area? Poseidon City over there was also on the coast, so why did it also have a frozen period? It was very cold there.
This is unscientific, isn't it? Is he sitting on the crater of a volcano? Haha! Ma Yue was just imagining things, and he even laughed at himself.
"What are you laughing at?" Lei Qing, who was in the quilt, also felt it.
"Lei Qing, you said that this area is so warm, very suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry, and also very suitable for living. Why didn't your original Thunder God tribe migrate here?" Ma Yue asked curiously.
"It's said that a long time ago, this place was the sea. As for when it became land, our ancestors couldn't tell for sure. They only said that this area was cursed by the gods and would be submerged by the sea..."
Oh, that's also possible. The earth's crust shifted, and land was submerged by the sea, or the sea became land. It could be a long process, or it could be a sudden, abrupt change. For something like this to be submerged by the sea again, how much of a crustal shift would that require?
Ma Yue didn't think he would encounter such a big change in his lifetime.
As for the curse of God? Primitive people could not explain some natural changes, so they were superstitious and blamed them on the gods.
"Don't worry, we are the people who believe in the God of the Sea. The God of the Sea will bless our Haifan tribe. This is the blessed land given to us by the God of the Sea..." It was just nonsense, at least Lei Qing believed it.
Do you think that offering sacrifices is not superstitious? If you yourself are not superstitious, how can you teach your subjects in the tribe?
"I also think it was the Sea God who sent you to me," Lei Qing said. Otherwise, why would Ma Yue just appear out of nowhere? And why did he create this Haifan Tribe?
Lei Qing now feels that Poseidon is more reliable than Thor.
When he was in the Thunder God Tribe, Lei Qing, as the high priest, held great power, but he always felt something was wrong and was uneasy. Don't forget, Lei Qing is also a spiritual cultivator, and some of his senses are very sensitive.
This inexplicable sense of crisis became increasingly severe, which was why Lei Qing took the initiative to escape from the Thunder God Tribe.
Perhaps, the Thunder God really wasn't very reliable. Otherwise, why would he feel so at ease after coming to the Haifan Tribe and believing in the Sea God? Lei Qing felt more and more that this was the case.
Are all spiritual cultivators so sensitive? Of course not, because Lei Qing, as a cultivator, is special. Otherwise, why would Lei Feng, the old Taoist priest of the Thunder God Tribe, still be thinking about Lei Qing?
"Beauty, tonight's homework hasn't been handed in yet, hehe!"
Am I really a beauty? Lei Qing was not confident, but she could feel that Ma Yue really loved her and was really willing to make love with her.
…
White Eagle also came back, and the news he brought was very surprising. The ones occupying the Blue Tribe’s base were indeed the coalition forces of the Sun Tribe and the Moon Tribe from Sun City.
"You charlatan, look, I got so much white salt in return." Bai Ying was Ma Yue's old subordinate, so of course he knew what Ma Yue liked.
"Good stuff!" But it wasn't very good, just coarse salt, which made Ma Yue feel uneasy about eating it.
"Tell me quickly, is the Blue Tribe the same Blue Tribe as before?"
"That's true, but the people of the Blue Tribe were all plundered by the Sun Tribe and the Moon Tribe and sold to Sun City." Yes, the population business in Sun City is also one of the very important trades.
"In other words, we can return to Poseidon City through Sun City?"
"I'm afraid we're in trouble. I've been hearing news from Poseidon City. Yue Yan, the third leader of the Moon Tribe stationed in the Blue Tribe, said that the grassland army is invading en masse. We've already abandoned Qibai City. Only Luo Bai is left, leading a few hundred men to fight guerrilla warfare against the grassland tribes."
This was news last year, and I don’t know what’s going on now.
"Okay, let's just give up the Seven Hundred Cities." Ma Yue was also helpless. It seemed that the grassland people could not be defeated. After defeating one wave, there was another wave. It was endless.
As long as Poseidon City can be preserved, Ma Yue will be very satisfied.
The Seven Hundred Cities were still somewhat isolated on the prairie. Perhaps there was something wrong with the original strategy of entering the prairie.
The Blue Tribe's base is quite far from Sun City, and even further from Poseidon City, so the news isn't very detailed. It's good to have some news.
"You charlatan, Yue Yan said that the trade between Sun City and our side has also been cut off by the grassland army."
In the past, when the Sea Tribe went to Sun City to trade, after leaving the big forest, there was a plain. Unexpectedly, the grassland people fought on that plain.
"Are there many cavalry on the grassland?" Ma Yue asked. Don't forget, the three major tribes in Sun City have a large number of wildebeests and are not short of cavalry. Moreover, those three tribes have a large population and many able-bodied men, unless...
"There were a lot of them. The Moon Tribe once tried to attack the provocative grassland cavalry. They were so densely packed, I heard there were several thousand grassland cavalry... but they just gave up."
Ma Yue thought about it carefully, and it was true. On the grassland, fighting cavalry with grassland cavalry was extremely unwise. Even if it was a fight of attrition, the three major tribes of Sun City were not worth it, right?
The grassland southeast of Sun City is impassable, but the northeast is a large forest, which is better because people from the grassland rarely go into the forest.
Northeast, in the direction of the Blue Tribe’s headquarters.
Isn't this nonsense? There is no hope of returning home through Sun City.
Ma Yue didn't know the forest path that led the Blue Tribe back to their homeland. It was easy to get lost in such a vast forest. The only way was to find his way north from Poseidon City. Some tribes in the forest knew the path that led north to the Blue Tribe.
That... is a matter for the future.
Even if the forest road leading back to the Blue Tribe was opened, it would take two or three months to walk. Would Ma Yue really be willing to do that? Forget it. For a lazy person like Ma Yue...
We are the boss and the leader. We have subordinates who can help us with transportation by land or sea. Shouldn't we work so hard ourselves?
"They already have the Blue Tribe's salt mountain, so why do they want to buy our salt?"
"Who knows? Maybe our salt is cheap? Didn't you say, you charlatan, that salt is never enough? Of course Yue Yan would be happy to exchange spirit stones for salt. He also said that salted radish would be even better."
"Radishes are easy to grow! Even the Cowhide Tribe grows them, so why aren't the Moon Tribe doing it?" Ma Yue was puzzled. Was trading exciting? Wouldn't it be more scientific to grow radishes yourself?
