Chapter 31 Tribal Merging
The chief of the Julu tribe is acting strangely today.
She held the Blackstone tribe chief's hand and spoke earnestly, repeating over and over about the merger between the two tribes.
Hua found it strange: "The merger of our Blackrock Tribe and Giant Deer Tribe is only a matter of time! Judging from your tone, it's as if I would go back on my word! So far, our Blackrock Tribe only has thirty-seven members in total. No matter how advanced we are, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers!"
"We're not stupid. Merging with your large tribe, which has over ten thousand members, would be more beneficial than harmful! Are you afraid I'll change my mind and not merge with your tribe, or what?"
The chief of the Giant Deer tribe nodded: "Yes! According to rumors, many tribes in the upper, middle and lower reaches are planning to merge with your tribe! I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a ticket then! Our Giant Deer tribe has a certain advantage in size and number compared to your Black Stone tribe, but compared to those large tribes in the middle reaches, we are just like little brothers!"
"There are so many powerful tribes in the middle reaches of the river. When the time comes, they will all be vying to come and merge with your Blackrock tribe. Will you still choose us?" said the leader of the Giant Deer tribe.
The Black Stone Tribe chief, Hua, was taken aback: "Brother Heavenly God said that no matter what, our Black Stone Tribe cannot merge so many tribes all at once! If we were to merge, we could only do it one by one, one at a time! If we were to merge more than ten tribes at once, it would increase the difficulty in all aspects of tribe management!"
“If you’re not comfortable with that, then let’s merge our two tribes right now! How about that?” Flower of the Blackstone Tribe said to the leader of the Giant Deer Tribe.
"Sure! Actually, I came all the way to Blackrock Tribe today just to tell you about this!"
The chief of the Julu tribe waved his hand and said boldly, "Once your tribe members arrive, they will directly replace our Julu tribe's original management team! You will be the chief, and I will be the deputy chief! Everything else will remain the same, is that alright?"
Blackrock Tribe Chief Hua scratched his head: "Alright! But isn't it a bit of a waste for you to be the tribe's deputy chief? How about I be the deputy instead?"
"No! No! No! You shouldn't refuse! You've managed the Blackstone Tribe so well, you must have something that sets you apart from others. Your wisdom and talent far surpass mine! Also, you have a good relationship with Hou and Xu Que, so it will be easier for you to communicate with them about national affairs as the tribe's leader! I'm not familiar with them! So you're the most suitable person to be the leader!"
Flower, the leader of the Blackrock tribe, was not the kind of person who was overly sentimental.
Seeing that the chief of the Giant Deer tribe said this, he decided not to refuse anymore!
"From now on, the Blackrock Tribe and the Giant Deer Tribe will be considered one tribe! What should the tribe be called? Blackrock Giant Deer?" the Giant Deer Tribe chief asked, as if seeking opinions.
Hua scratched her head: "Let's call it Black Deer! The name Black Stone Giant Deer is a bit too long!"
"good!"
After the leaders of the Flower and Giant Deer tribes finalized their new tribe name, they went together to the big iron pot to fetch water and cook!
Hua picked up a carrying pole and taught the former chief of the Julu tribe, "Look! Hold the entire carrying pole across your shoulder like this, and grab the leather ropes on the pole with your hands, one in front and one behind. Hang the wooden hooks at the bottom of the leather ropes on the handles of the wooden buckets! Stand up like this, and you can carry the water back steadily! Demonstrate a few times on the spot with an empty bucket first, and once you're skilled, we'll go to the river to fetch water!"
Hua looked at the deputy chief of the Black Deer tribe, nodded in confirmation, and then added, "If you feel pain in your shoulders while carrying water, you can switch to the other shoulder like I do, which is called 'changing loads'!"
“Let’s go fetch water! I’ve basically learned how!” the deputy chief of the Black Deer tribe said to Hua.
“Okay! Your shoulders will hurt a little when you first start carrying water, but you’ll get used to it as you carry water for a while!” Hua said as she led the tribe’s deputy chief and the other tribe members toward the river.
The Black Deer tribe's large iron pot was quickly filled with water!
The chieftain expertly started a fire, put the meat into the pot, and then covered it with the lid! He waited for the meat to cook!
While waiting for the meat to cook, Hua said to the tribe's deputy chief, "There are now more than 10,000 members in the tribe, and this iron pot isn't enough to feed everyone! It seems we'll have to ask the gods to find a bigger pot!"
The Black Deer tribe, with over 10,000 members, cannot function without its own armed forces!
Xu Que has decided to start building his own primitive armed force right now!
Xu Que summoned all the male members of the Black Deer Tribe!
He instructed Hagang to select the strongest men from among these members, and then from these elite strongmen, to choose the one hundred elites of the elite, and train them to become invincible warriors!
On the first day of training, Xu Que did not make these strong tribal primitives run laps or practice horse stance.
He knew that for a tribal man who relied mainly on hunting, running laps and horse stances were nothing more than tickling an itch.
Therefore, Xu Que's plan for their first day of training was to have them hit the sandbag directly!
For a hundred people, there must be at least ten sandbags!
Xu Que immediately got to work.
He retrieved several cowhides from the tribe's storeroom!
Pour the hot water from the wooden thermos into the washbasin at the entrance of the village, throw the nearly dried cowhide into the washbasin, soak it for three to five minutes, and then take it out of the basin!
Xu Que took out a boning knife from the system's inventory and cut the irregular cowhide into rectangles of the same size!
Then, using a large bone needle, threading a thin leather cord through it, they sewed the two pieces together.
Stitch after stitch, after finishing the inside, go back and stitch the inside again.
After you're done, flip the bag over from the other side with force, and you've made a simple sandbag!
Xu Que used the same method to make ten in one go.
Then, each sandbag was filled with soil, and several thick leather loops for hanging ropes were sewn onto the top of the sandbags with bone needles. After that, all the work was basically completed!
Xu Que called over Ha Gang and hung each sandbag filled with soil on the large wooden pole that had been planted in front of the tribe's gate, for the more than one hundred primitive armed men to use for practicing punching and kicking.
Seeing that Ha Gang was about to swing his fist and hit the stationary leather sandbag, Xu Que quickly stepped in to stop him! Because with Ha Gang's current strength, he could easily shatter this simple sandbag with just a light punch!
