“Of course there’s something to discuss. Although there’s no chief in the tribe right now, Huo Qiu is one of the best among the younger generation and is gradually showing the qualities of a leader. It’s best to go to him if you need anything,” Haitang said.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long nodded. Although he was unhappy, he still went to find her. Haitang spoke with such admiration and respect, saying that Huo Qiu seemed very dangerous.
Although he couldn't transform into a beast, he was good-looking and capable. Soon, Dongfang Long realized that since he spent all his time with Tangtang, it would be easier to cultivate a relationship with her.
Huo Qiu didn't know what Haitang wanted to see him about, but he still came with Dongfang Long. When Haitang looked at Huo Qiu, she asked him to sit down, and Huo Qiu looked around and then sat down.
"I called you here because I have something to discuss," Haitang said bluntly. Upon hearing this, Huoqiu looked at Haitang.
“I want to forge a weapon, but it requires manpower and time to find, so I want to cooperate with you,” Haitang said. “It’s not a cooperation, but I will provide it to the tribe, and the tribe will help me in the future if I need anything.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu looked at Haitang and asked, "What kind of weapon is that?" Hearing this, Haitang asked Dongfang Long to give her the knife, and Dongfang Long immediately covered it when he saw it.
"It's mine, the one you gave me," Dongfang Long said, looking aggrieved and on the verge of tears. Tangtang was giving the weapon she had given him to another orc, and he felt like crying.
"It's yours, I didn't steal it, so be good and give it to me so people can see it." Haitang said. "Dongfang Long..." Hearing Haitang call his name, Dongfang Long walked over and obediently gave it to Huo Qiu.
"Don't break it." This was a token of love given to him by Tangtang, unique to the tribe. Hearing this, Huo Qiu's lips twitched.
Haitang looked directly at Huoqiu and said, "Try the tip of the knife." Huoqiu nodded, reached out to touch it, and examined his hand. He exclaimed, "This thing is really sharp."
Huo Qiu licked his fingers and said, "Is this the weapon you were talking about?"
“Yes, this is the weapon I was talking about. I know the raw materials and how to forge it, but I need your help to find the raw materials. Then we can use iron weapons. Even without transforming into beastmen, with such sharp weapons, don’t you think we can still kill other beastmen?” Haitang said.
"Indeed, if we're talking about sharp weapons, then humans can kill orcs." That's for sure. A fast and sharp blade, if it goes in a few inches deep, will definitely kill the opponent.
But if it's something like stone tools, then the comparison is much less accurate. "Okay, tell me, how exactly do I find this thing?"
“Okay.” Haitang immediately said to the person in front of her, “And you can smell this scent.” Haitang looked at Huoqiu and said, and Huoqiu nodded.
Haitang told the other party about the iron ore, saying that in this situation, iron smelting would be easier and simpler.
It was unrealistic for Haitang to accomplish this alone. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally chose to contribute to the tribe because only when the tribe became stronger could it protect everyone.
There's a saying that goes, "A strong nation makes its people strong." But what's the use of an individual being strong if the nation isn't strong? It's utterly useless.
In any situation in the world, becoming strong requires the leadership of nations, and not just nations, but all individuals.
At this moment, the world's nations are much like tribes. When the tribe becomes powerful, everyone will become powerful. Haitang talked to Huoqiu for a long time, and Shihu listened for a long time as well.
After everyone left, Dongfang Long looked at his knife and wiped it with something. Haitang couldn't help but shake her head, "You child..." still so childish.
"I'm not a child anymore," Dongfang Long said. "I don't like Tangtang giving away things I gave her to outsiders." Looking at Haitang, he said, "What Tangtang gives me is mine."
“Okay, it’s yours.” Haitang nodded and said, “But I have a reason for today. Think it through… The tribe will get better and better, and life will get better and better, but the orcs in the tribe are still a minority. Under such circumstances… we need to become stronger.”
Only by becoming strong can one protect what one wants to protect and the people one wants to protect. Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long nodded, understanding what Haitang was saying.
"Tangtang, I will protect you." Yes, he would protect Tangtang. Hearing this, Haitang was also moved by the child.
Haitang nodded and said, "Okay." Haitang's answer pleased Dongfanglong. For beastmen, protecting a female was the same as protecting their own female.
After Huo Qiu returned, he formulated a plan. Finding iron ore is not something that can be done overnight, but if something is useful to the tribe, then of course they should go and find it.
When Huo Qiu returned, he visited the elders and then went to see the little eagle beastmen. The little ones were eating well and were very well-behaved.
Seeing Huo Qiu arrive, they immediately rushed over and hugged him, "Brother Huo Qiu, you're here... We all missed Brother Huo Qiu so much."
"Yes, I missed you all too. Were you good girls?" Huo Qiu said, and the little beastmen immediately nodded.
“We’ve been very obedient and haven’t run away.” Upon hearing this, the orcs immediately replied. With their own tribe absent, the eagle orcs could only stay in the tiger tribe for the time being.
In truth, Huo Qiu wasn't entirely benevolent; he had his own selfish motives. Huo Qiu cared more about the survival of the tribe than Hai Tang did, so he understood that having these Azure Eagle Beastmen meant that if they ever fought for others, having scouts in the sky would be an advantage.
