Prehistoric Chef
In a blink of an eye, it has been a month since Kohler and others arrived in Long River City. When they inquired about Kalamanda and Long River City, the "shadow" sent by Bai also gradually figured out their origins.
Although their real identities have not been fully found out, the shadows have found out that they are from Yancheng and have a high status in Yancheng. Changhe City and Yancheng are far away. It takes about a month to travel from Changhe City to the Great Lakes Tribe if the wind is smooth and the wind is smooth. It takes about 30 days to ride a wildebeest from land without taking any luggage, without detours and delays. About, and the straight-line distance from Changhe City to Yancheng is almost three times that of Changhe City to Dahu Tribe. The river cannot be reached directly, and there is still a long way to travel by land. Even though there is such a long distance, Changhe City and Yancheng are not in peace. In the past, Yancheng and Yihucheng teamed up and almost monopolized the rough salt trade in most of the areas north of their tribe and some areas south of their tribe. Even the rough salt used by the Changhe tribe originally came from Yancheng. The large tribes that depended on Yancheng traded their coarse salt in large quantities, and then sold it to the Muyuan tribe through various means, and then the Muyuan tribe traded it to the surrounding tribes through tribal assemblies to grab high profits. Compared with the large tribes in the south with a population of tens of thousands, the strength of the original Muyuan tribe was actually mediocre, but through the sale of coarse salt, the Muyuan tribe gradually became the most powerful tribe in the Black Forest. Even if the Muyuan tribe is like this, the benefits and benefits brought by coarse salt to Yancheng and Yihucheng are even more unimaginable. However, since ten years ago, their monopoly on crude salt trading has been slowly broken by Changhe City. At the beginning of the blood salt trade in Changhe City, it was limited to a small area of the Black Forest and had no impact on Yan City at all. However, with the opening of the water trade channel, the ships of Long River City can go to many places along the long river. With the Great Lakes Tribe and Nest Tribe as their bases, they attracted a large number of tribes to trade with them. The blood salt and snow salt of the Changhe Tribe are more pure than the rough salt in Yancheng, but the exchange price is less than half of that of the rough salt. Besides salt, there are also many fresh and high-end gadgets in Changhe City, from cloth and animal skins to food snacks, from necklaces and boots to tools and spices, from precious witch medicine seeds to high-quality grain seeds, etc., almost as long as you want They arrived, and the merchant caravans of the Changhe Tribe sold them. Unexpectedly, they also sold them here. It's hard to imagine whether the business is booming. It is much cheaper to buy things directly from the merchant ships of the Changhe Tribe. Therefore, every year when the merchant ships of the Changhe Tribe go south, many tribes along the way will calculate the time, prepare the trading items, and wait in advance to trade with them by the river. The ships of the Changhe Tribe would stop at some fixed and convenient places to dock. Slowly, with the support of the Changhe Tribe, some sporadic tribal towns affiliated to Changhe City were formed in these places. These small towns are not large in size and the population is not too large, but they are developing very rapidly and are much richer than ordinary tribes. Relying on these small tribal towns, Changhe City continued to develop trading partners in all directions, from point to line, and then from line to surface. In just ten years, Changhe City not only swallowed half of Yancheng's coarse salt trade, but also passed through the Nest tribe, Opened up the salt trade with the Wing Terrans. In terms of the salt trade alone, Changhe City has surpassed Yancheng. After the monopoly was broken, it was no longer possible for Yancheng and Yihucheng to set the salt price as they wished before. In order to retain the trading tribes, they had to adjust the price of coarse salt to be lower than that of Changhe City. But the trading items in Changhe City are far more than just salt. For the same distance, even if the price is slightly more expensive, everyone is still more willing to buy things from Changhe City. What's more, blood salt and snow salt are better than coarse salt and a bit more expensive, which everyone can understand and accept. But these undoubtedly damaged the fundamental interests of Yancheng and Maverick City. In the past one or two years, the merchant caravans of Changhe City, and some tribes who exchanged goods from Changhe City and were close to Changhe City, were frequently robbed and attacked. letter. In order to reduce unnecessary losses, the merchant caravans in Changhe City can only go as far as the Nest Tribe, and it is beyond the reach of Yancheng and Yihucheng. Over the past ten years, the Nest Tribe and the Great Lake Tribe relied on the salt trade of Changhe City, and they have transformed from a large tribe into a super tribe in the true sense. They imitated the development model of Changhe City and absorbed many small and medium-sized tribes around them. The strength skyrocketed. Although Yancheng and Yihucheng are very old super tribes, if they really want to make a move, the Dahu tribe and Nest tribe who are in the limelight are not afraid of them. Both Yancheng and Yihucheng sensed a strong sense of crisis, and it was this sense of crisis that forced them to come out of their long-standing state of satisfaction and ease, and began to move toward further expansion around them. At the same time, these few tribes are far from the only ones who are also on the road to expansion. This seemingly peaceful continent, with the end of the Little Ice Age, the disappearance of the beast tide, and the rapid development of human tribes, has gradually become dark and turbulent. Due to the distance between Yancheng and Changhecheng, although the two tribes had opposing positions due to the salt trade, they did not confront each other head-on, or even have any direct contact. According to Bai's plan, in the short term, he doesn't plan to directly confront Yancheng and Maverick City, and even, in the short term, he doesn't plan to continue expanding to the south. His real goal is the area north of the Black Forest. The climate in the south is good and suitable for planting and reproduction. In recent years, many large tribes and super tribes with good strength have emerged. On the contrary, in the north of the Black Forest, the climate is very cold, and the land is mostly barren. In the past few years, many places were even covered with snow all the year round, so that there were few tribes, but they were able to survive in that environment and survived countless terrible Humans in the cold winter, no matter beastmen or pure humans, are very tough and good at fighting. These people can become very good fighters with a little exercise. Bai had a serious discussion with Wu Nuo, Da Wu, and the capable soldiers under him. If they blindly expand their power to the south and let the tribes in the north develop, they may face the situation of being attacked from both sides in the future. Instead of this, it is better to solve the hidden dangers now. Bai never fights unprepared battles. He started planning two or three years ago. While secretly promoting the development of the valley tribe, he used caravans and pterosaur legions to cross the valley tribe and go directly to the slightly stronger forces in the north. Large and medium-sized tribes made direct contact. After several rounds of lobbying and various generous conditions, more than 70% of the tribes in the area north of the Black Forest that did not belong to the valley have agreed to become a small town in Long River City, and the remaining 30% are still hesitating, but they all Not explicitly rejected. The leader of the Xigu tribe tried to challenge Changhe City in vain, but he didn't know that even his superior position was completely manipulated by Yi Hubai in the dark. The valley tribe, who were about to make a move, didn't even know that Yi Hubai had long regarded it as something in his pocket. "...Find an excuse, arrest those guys from Yancheng, lock them up for a while, and interrogate them in person when I have time." Knowing the background of Kohler and the others, Bai did not intend to continue to let them in. Changhe City is at ease. From the fragmentary clues reported by the shadows, to the occasional power of Kara's bloodline, and Kara's extraordinary performance in the sacrificial ceremony, Bai intuitively felt that Kara had an extraordinary background, and Kohler and the others definitely had no good intentions for him. Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it. Although the defense around Kara is tight enough, who can guarantee that nothing will happen? It is better to prevent problems now than to fix them before they happen. Bai intuited that the secret of Kalamanda was not small, no matter whether the secret was good or bad for Kara, as Kara was his son with the little angel, he hoped that Kara would grow up happily without having to carry any extra things. Therefore, the fewer people who know this secret, the better. Bai decided to interrogate it himself, just to avoid new problems caused by certain secrets in the future. As for Kohler and the others, since they dared to hit his son's idea, they had to prepare for the worst. "Yes, chief." "You arrange someone to tell the Moye tribe so that they can do it." The sun fell on Bai's body, making him look as if he was bathed in golden brilliance, and his handsome and cold face was like a god. Below, a flash of excitement flashed in the eyes of the short orc, and his voice raised his voice unconsciously: "Yes, leader!" The Moye tribe is the largest tribe in the cold north. Even in the short summer, there are still a lot of dragon beasts coming to the bitter cold land with the beast tide, which makes their lives full of dangers. In the past, the Dashi tribe lived next to them, but the Dashi tribe couldn't bear the ferocity of the dragon beasts, and finally chose to move the whole family to the west of the Black Forest. The Moye tribe has always guarded their ancestral land and cannot grow food. They live by hunting. In order to survive, they even dare to attack dragon beasts. In the past, during the beast tide period every year, they would hunt and kill a large number of dragon beasts and ferocious beasts at all costs, and freeze the meat of these beasts in places covered with snow all the year round for the whole tribe to eat. In order to survive, the people of the Moye tribe became stronger and stronger in the process of constantly fighting against fierce beasts. Even, the birth rate of orcs in their tribe is miraculously higher than that of pure humans. Many orc warriors among them have awakened the power of blood without relying on any external force, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to those who have practiced in Changhe City. Law fighters, very fierce. Although it seems to outsiders that the life of the Moye tribe is very difficult, they don't think so. In previous cold winters, when many tribes were too hungry to survive, they could still hide in the depths of caves, eating meat every day, and rarely starved. However, in recent years, with the end of the Little Ice Age, the cold winter has gradually returned to normal, and the annual beast tide has gradually disappeared, and their life has become more difficult. Without the beast tide, a large number of dragons and beasts moved south, and there were not many beasts that could survive in the bitter cold. Soon, the people of the Moye tribe found that they could not find enough food. In order to fill their stomachs, the Moye tribe had to gradually migrate to the warmer and more abundant south. During their migration, the caravan sent by Changhe City successfully connected with them. After several satisfactory transactions, the people of the Moye tribe formed a good friendship with the people of the Changhe Caravan. Later, the people of the caravan set up a line, and a small number of them came to Changhe City. They saw the city of Changhe They were prosperous and wealthy, and were very lucky to meet the leader and the great witch of Changhe City... Then one day, the Moye tribe got a lot of food, a lot of precious iron farm tools, precious grain seeds, and A large number of obedient livestock cubs picked a piece of fairly fertile soil and took root there. Unknowingly, a few years later, the Moye tribe, which originally had only a few thousand people, developed into the largest tribe in the cold north, and its population doubled several times. Undoubtedly, Moye is also one of Xigu's confidantes. Within the valley tribe. A person rushed to the young leader in a panic: "Boss, the leader is not good, Moye monsters are coming, they are coming!" The war is about to break out.
