The Purple Tribe now had salt, but their chieftain was even more worried. It took more than a month to walk from the Purple Tribe's cave settlement to the seashore. With such a long and narrow territory, they couldn't abandon it anywhere. They had to ensure that all the salt they produced could be transported back, right?
Want to go faster, riding wildebeests? You need a lot of wildebeests, right?
It's not that the Purple Tribe is short of wildebeests, but they bought a few, which was too few. If they weren't careful, they would be robbed along the way.
Are you the only one from the Purple Tribe who can beat others? So others won't beat you? At least, they can beat you secretly, right?
Relatively speaking, winter is better. After all, the snow and ice vehicles pulled by wildebeests are quite large and can carry a lot of people and goods.
What to do? Migrate to the seaside?
Isn't it a waste to have so many natural caves perfect for raising sheep? Do you think it's easy to find a cave to keep livestock warm in the winter? The Sea Tribe's sheepfolds need a bonfire in the middle.
Boiling salt or raising sheep? Which is more important? It seems both are important. Ziya is in a dilemma.
"Great chief, salt is more important. As long as we have salt, we can exchange it for anything else." The second chief Shuya said. The Purple Tribe is now big, and it is naturally not enough to have only one chief.
"It's also very troublesome. We don't have many pottery plates." Zi Ya had a lot of things to worry about.
"Yeah, how did the Sea Tribe make that mud basin?" Shuya personally went to the seaside of the Sea Tribe to spy on the secret of boiling salt.
"Chief, there are so many people in our tribe, and there are hundreds of warriors. What are you afraid of? Just split up. Even if there are only a hundred warriors on the beach, who would dare to rob us on the road and on the beach?" The third chief... Shuique, yes, this guy is doing well, and was appreciated by Zi Ya, and became the third chief of the Purple Tribe.
Several hundred warriors wasn't exactly an exaggeration, but the Purple Tribe's successive campaigns had plundered a significant number of people and able-bodied men, so they definitely had over three or four hundred able-bodied men. They were intimidated by the Puppet High Priest's 'Fire Magic,' so their cohesion was decent.
"Chief, I think this is a good idea. It won't delay either end." Shuya cheered.
"Just a few pottery plates, and you need a hundred soldiers? Damn!" Zi Ya even cursed.
"Great Chief, the Niupi tribe can make pottery." Shuiliu said, "We can capture more people and exchange them for pottery plates. After all, our warriors are idle anyway."
The Niupi tribe does all kinds of business, and they can sell people as well.
"There are no tribes around." Shuya felt that it was unreliable. At most, they were a group of stragglers and guerrillas from the defeated tribes. They stole some things and then ran away. They were difficult to catch.
In the past two years, the Purple Tribe has expanded too rapidly. Almost all the tribes, big and small, within a distance of ten days have been wiped out by the Purple Tribe.
"Great chief, if it really doesn't work... How did the Sea Tribe acquire the pottery-making skills? They brought people who could make pottery from the captives of the Niupi Tribe." When Shuigu said this, Ziya's eyes lit up. Ziya liked jobs that didn't cost anything the most.
"Okay! Shugui, I leave this matter to you. Don't be afraid, even if we are exposed, the Niupi tribe will not dare to do anything to us." Zi Ya was full of confidence. His own tribe had become stronger, and the Niupi tribe did not seem so powerful anymore.
Shuya was about to open his mouth, but then shut it again. He still wanted to steal people from the Sea Tribe. However, it was one thing for Shuya to sneak in and watch the salt being boiled, but if he really wanted to steal people from the Sea Tribe, it would be a completely different matter. There were many people boiling salt on the seashore of the Sea Tribe, so how could he steal them? He would have to bring a large group of people to steal them.
There are too many people in the Sea Tribe now, and there is an 80% chance that we can’t defeat them.
The pottery making of the Hai tribe is in the Stone City and cannot be seen.
Ziya was destined to be disappointed. Did they really think the Niupi Tribe were foolish? Since the Sea Tribe had already taken their pottery skills, they must protect their craftsmen. Besides, the Niupi Tribe already had a timber fence, so how could Shuiliu dare to rush in?
"High Priest, you guessed right. The scale from the Purple Tribe is really wandering around our tribe, haha!" Now the chief of the Cowhide Tribe is Niutou.
"High Priest, just catch that Scale. Does he really think that our Niupi tribe is easy to bully?" The Niupi tribe has a second leader, 'Horse Face' (the name is convenient for easy remembering).
"Forget it. There are quite a few people in the Purple Tribe now. It's not worth the conflict." Niu Tou said. This guy was originally the second leader of the Niupi Tribe. He has always been gentle in character and is not a warmonger like the 'hawk'.
"Niutou, what can the Purple Tribe do to us if we provoke them?" the high priest asked in surprise.
"This..." Niu Tou didn't know what to say.
"Don't forget, back then, the Sea Tribe relied on this kind of wooden walls, retaining ditches, and defensive platforms. Even five or six hundred strong men couldn't break in. Can their Purple Tribe really invade our Niupi Tribe?" said the high priest.
"High Priest, what is your purpose?" Niu Tou was not warlike, but he had a clear mind.
"Have you not noticed the rise of the Sea Tribe?"
"Process? War?" asked Niu Tou.
"It's a war that comes to our doorstep," said the high priest.
"Oh, I understand, a defensive battle!" Horse-Faced Man reacted quickly. Those who can be leaders are not stupid.
"That's right, attacking is always a disadvantage, especially when there are wooden walls, protective ditches, and defensive platforms. The casualties in the attack are too great, and it is not certain that we can take it down." said the high priest.
"I understand! What the high priest meant was to lure the Purple Tribe into fighting, haha!" Niu Tou laughed. As long as it was beneficial to the development of the tribe, Niu Tou was happy to fight.
"Oh my god!" Horse-Faced Man became excited.
"Bring the wildebeest cavalry and don't let any of them go," said the high priest.
