The high-level meeting of the Sea Tribe ended in vain. There was no need to go overseas for trade, so there was no point in going.
Strength lies in numbers. The timber cabins are being built at a visible rate, making housing a breeze this winter. Judging by the progress, there are still plenty of empty beds left.
The plastering of the stone walls inside and outside was completed in more than half a month. It provided a layer of protection for the stone walls. The simple wooden defense platform inside the stone walls progressed faster. After all, the original two-layer and four-row wood walls had to be demolished, so it was convenient and quick to use local materials.
The Hai tribe has begun to gradually rotate the entire team for military training. There are no conditions for brigade training, after all, most of them are working. The training of the squadrons and teams still needs to be rotated and persisted.
Sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, lancers, and stone throwers—a team needs both unity and depth. The veterans of the Sea Tribe undergo this kind of military training every year, and they're used to it. New recruits need to gradually adapt. If you consistently underperform in training within a group, it's a disgrace.
Training is one part of it. Periodically, the Sea Tribe will also hold certain one-way competitions, isn't it to better promote the improvement of individual combat effectiveness?
In the art of stone-flying, the second chief, Shuichong, always ranked first. However, in the art of spear-flying, there were many unstable factors. After all, the spear-flying of the Sea Tribe was very popular, with many experts and few weaker ones.
The most depressed one is Leader Hai. In close combat, Leader Hai is no longer the best in terms of punches, kicks and strength.
In theory, the chief of a tribe must be the most powerful one. Now that Hai has been defeated, is he still the chief? It's not just a problem for Hai as a chief, but the fighting power of the third chief Wu Qi is also not ranked high.
The Hai tribe was now so large that it included prisoners of war, purchased personnel, and people from all over the world, including many strong primitive people. Without the advantages of flying stones and spears, leaders Hai and Wu Qi seemed to be left behind.
Some things are really beyond Ma Yue's control. Primitive people believed in strength and fists, just like the alpha wolf in a wolf pack. The alpha wolf must be the strongest and most capable fighter. Otherwise, why would you be the alpha wolf?
Even if Ma Yue relied on his prestige to insist that Hai be the leader, no one would accept it. In future campaigns, what prestige would Hai have? How would he lead the team?
Trouble! Ma Yue was starting to have a headache.
"I have no objection. Whoever is stronger will be the leader. There is nothing much to say about it." At the high-level meeting, Hai was the first to express his opinion, although he was still very depressed.
"I have no objection. My strength is not that good to begin with. The charlatan thinks highly of me. I have been the third chief for such a long time. I am already very satisfied." Wu Qi's mentality is still relatively good. These three chiefs were indeed appointed by Ma Yue himself. When he conquered the Xiong tribe, Ma Yue mainly wanted to stabilize the hearts of the people in the Xiong tribe as much as possible.
At that time, among the captives of the Bear Tribe, Wu Qi had the best power of faith.
Once your weakness of insufficient strength is exposed and you lose your prestige, you really can no longer be a leader.
"Charlatan, the current situation is different from the early sea tribe." The high priest finally spoke. Emotionally, he naturally tended to favor the "sea".
However, the Hai Tribe back then consisted of only a dozen or so able-bodied men. To put it bluntly, the fighting power of the "Hai" back then was only the strongest among the weak.
If Hai was truly powerful, the Hai Tribe wouldn't have been constantly starving for food. His own strength is average, and so is his leadership. Now that Ma Yue is here, all he does is practice long-range weapons to increase the hunting team's combat effectiveness, right? What a stubborn person!
"Spirit stick, Hai, it's suitable for bargaining!" The second priest was the last to speak. His identity was special. He was a priest of the Bear Tribe who was captured by the Hai Tribe in the early days. Some things were difficult to say. The second priest was very smart and had a strong learning ability. He was considered a wise man.
"Then... Hai, you will be the captain of the trade team from now on!" Ma Yue agreed with the Second Priest's suggestion. Did the trade team also need armed protection? Whether going to the Niupi Tribe or to Sun City, fighting might break out along the way.
"Yeah!" Hai also thought that the charlatan's arrangement was the best.
The Second Priest looked at Wu Qi again. This was difficult to arrange. He couldn't possibly have another deputy captain for the trade team. That would be too blatant.
"Wu Qi, you are the chief of the branch tribe of the Bear Tribe."
Holy crap! Is there such a magical operation? The second priest praised it in his heart. What a charlatan, his thinking is so open-minded, I am not as good as him.
"Charlatan, there's no need for permanent residents there except for the spirit stones." Wu Qi understood Ma Yue's intentions.
"Stupid!" Ma Yue curled his lips. Only a charlatan like him dared to say that. The high priest and the second priest had been scolded like that by Ma Yue many times.
"What the charlatan means is that there are also arable lands at the original site of the Bear Tribe?" The second priest understood a little.
"That's right. In the future, our Sea Tribe will only grow bigger and bigger. It's impossible for us to concentrate in this one place. We need to expand our territory, understand? The original location of the Bear Tribe was the first step for our Sea Tribe to extend its tentacles into the jungle..." Ma Yue talked freely, presenting a magnificent and beautiful picture to everyone.
This tiny Hai Tribe settlement was only about the size of a village in his previous life. Ma Yue would need more power of faith in the future, and the tribe's population would have to grow further, perhaps even going out on expeditions.
Going all the way out every time is ridiculous, isn't it? For some small-scale battles, it's enough to go in separate tribes.
"I'll follow them!" The high priest became excited again when he heard that the arable land was going to be expanded.
"What are you going there for? For now, the branch tribe over there is not large, Wu Qi is enough." Ma Yue thought to himself, your full-time job is to perform sacrifices, how can you leave the headquarters? "At present, the focus of agricultural and animal husbandry development is still here, understand?"
Well, there is indeed huge room for development of arable land here, the high priest nodded.
"From now on, Wu Qi's place will be called Jungle Branch 1." No more mention of the previous bear tribe.
"Is there a second branch?" asked the second priest.
"Of course, we'll start farming in Jungle Branch One first. There's quite a bit of flat land there, perfect for it!" Ma Yue said. Isn't the jungle all woods? "We can't leave the prairie idle either. Let's establish Prairie Branch Two. The prairie is perfect for grazing, right? At least, raising sheep and rabbits is close by, saving the hassle of constant travel."
That makes sense! We always need a hunting team to accompany us when we go herding sheep.
"The cave of the Stone Eagle Tribe is pretty good. There is a river nearby and it's not too far away. The second branch will be stationed there temporarily." If you live in a cave, you still have to rely on the river, right? Drinking water is the first need of life.
"Iron Lion has strong fighting ability, so he will go to the second branch of the grassland to be the chief; White Eagle is the second chief." Iron Lion is the first place in this wrestling competition, and it is quite appropriate for him to be promoted to the chief of a branch.
Being a leader isn't just about fighting prowess; it requires leadership. Brute force alone is enough. Like Hai, he's quite strong, but is he really suited to being a leader? Ma Yue still has to worry about everything.
"Shuichong has been promoted to Grand Chief of Headquarters; Luo Bai, number one in spearmanship, has been appointed Second Chief of Headquarters." Is Luo Bai number one in spearmanship? It's hard to say whether flying stones or spearmanship are more important. At the very least, Shuichong's seniority is greater than Luo Bai's, and that's enough.
