235 - The service of the thief

In addition, in order to facilitate wartime management and unified scheduling, the seven patriarchs unanimously decided that Ji Thief would be the military chief of the Federation, that is, as long as it was wartime, all members of the Federation, from the patriarch to the clansmen, must obey the arrangements of Ji Thief.

For this decision, Ji Thief can be said to be unexpected, and reasonable, after all, with the current federation adding up to nearly eight hundred people (excluding the Mulian and Fengchuan tribes), can you find even one stronger than your own military command?

Of course, although the thief himself is also a rookie, he has no military talent, and most of his victories are won by relying on weapons far beyond this era, but this does not prevent the thief from despising these primitive people who can only fight in groups and have no combat culture.

But then again, the head of the wartime military of the Federation.

Good fellow, what a lot of power!

Once or twice, the patriarchs may think it's nothing, but what about when there are too many times? Will the other patriarchs be blinded by the victory and demand the separation of power?

In response to this hidden danger, Ji Thief also made a solution.

Although the military chief of the Federation is himself, he is only a spokesman, and if there is any unreliable decision, the seven patriarchs can vote to remove themselves.

In this way, it is tantamount to putting a shackle on themselves, so that the various patriarchs can rest their hearts while taking care of their feelings.

"In addition, our federation is not only gathered in wartime, like some major matters that cannot be decided by individual tribes, we can also decide through consultation. In a word, the federation is open, just, and equitable. โ€

Ji Thief took out a heart-calming pill again for everyone to eat.

With the guarantee of Ji Thief's words, the six patriarchs were even more at ease.

Moreover, in order to save everyone trouble, Ji Thief also gave this meeting a spoof name, called Round Table.

In addition to the patriarchs of the seven tribes, the only people who could participate in this meeting were themselves, the head of the Federation's wartime military affairs, plus Babu, the Federation's chief of wartime logistics, and so on.

As for the location of the meeting, it was indisputably set among the Frost Valley tribes.

After discussing everything, the six patriarchs also proposed to say goodbye, and when they left, they left a message to Ji Thief, saying that when they subdued the Fengchuan tribe tomorrow, everyone must go over to build momentum for the Frost Valley tribe.

Receiving this assurance, Ji Thief smiled happily.

Sending out the six patriarchs four or five miles away from the tribe, the old patriarch waved his hand to let the Tushan Baku who followed, plus the twenty clansmen under Ah Liang's hand stay away, and turned around and asked Ji Thief: "Okay, now you can tell me, what do you think?"

Ji Thief was stunned, turned around and asked, "What?"

The old patriarch rolled his eyes speechlessly: "That's what you said about training a martial arts team for them." โ€

"Oh, that's what you say. โ€

"Of course, otherwise you think I'm talking about something. โ€

Ji Thief smiled: "Patriarch, let me ask you a question." โ€

The old patriarch nodded: "You say." โ€

"Patriarch thinks it's good or bad for us to help them train their martial arts team?"

Faced with the question of the thief, the old patriarch seriously lowered his head and considered: "Well, it is good for them, for the unity of the Federation, and for the overall combat effectiveness of the Federation. But for us Frost Valley tribes, for you, warriors, it's not good. โ€

Hearing this, Ji Thief was stunned: "It's not good for me?"

The old patriarch pursed his lips and sighed: "Why do you still ask, don't you know that the daily consumption of a martial army of sixty people can top one hundred and twenty people? In addition, coupled with the population of our Frost Valley tribe, as well as the Mulian tribe and the Fengchuan tribe that will be subdued, such a big logistical pressure, I am afraid that Babu will kill you." โ€

Ji Thief: "ยทยทยท"

"These are all in the past, and now we have the Eastern Plains, and we don't have to worry about where our food will come from. Moreover, now our farming and planting industry is just getting started, and when we are on the right track, we will not need to hunt at all, and we will be able to fully support the daily expenses of the tribe. So, it may be a little troublesome at the moment, but in the long run, it's not worth mentioning at all. Ji Thief said with a little weakness.

The old patriarch nodded: "Well, so what? I still don't understand why you brought it up to help them train their martial arts team, is it just because you want to give other patriarchs a good impression?"

Ji Thief shook his head with a tsk, a finger in front of him kept shaking, just like an old god, the old patriarch really wanted to beat him.

"Patriarch, you still don't see my purpose. Ji Thief said.

The old patriarch rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that if he can guess your thoughts, the entire tribe is only the little clever ghost of Ah Zheng, and that's it, that guy may not be able to guess what you think now.

Seeing that the old patriarch looked speechless, Ji Thief waved his hand and stopped pretending to be a ghost: "Okay, okay, I'll just say it." โ€

The old patriarch hurriedly gathered his spirit and listened carefully.

"First of all, Patriarch, do you think I'm going to be the kind of person who suffers?"

The old patriarch pinched his chin and pondered: "Well, it didn't before, but now maybe, after all, you have helped others train the martial arts team for free, and you still use our own resources!"

Ji Thief: "Uh..."

"Don't worry about this problem, I help them train the martial arts team, it's free now, but not in the future. Ji Thief said.

Old Patriarch: "???, do you plan to help them train in the future?"

Ji Thief licked his lips: "Of course, this is the most important step in my plan. โ€

Seeing the old patriarch's confused look, Ji Thief explained: "A tribe, apart from food and population, what is the most important?"

The old patriarch thought for a moment: "Territory!"

Ji Thief shook his head, and said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "Of course not, even if the entire large mountain range is your territory, but your clan has no combat effectiveness, how can it be defended?"

The old patriarch asked Ji Thief: "So you will give Patriarch Lin and them to train the martial arts team?"

"This is just the first step in the plan, listen to me, patriarch, if you want to tie everyone to us, this small effort must be necessary. Let me ask you, Patriarch, how many tribes are there on average among the six tribes at present?"

"Well, it should be eighty or ninety to one hundred, and of course, it is not excluded that some large tribes have more than one hundred people. โ€

Ji Thief snapped his fingers: "Yes, among these 100 clansmen, even if he counts as male clansmen, 60% of them are men, that is, 60 male clansmen." In the Eastern Plains, in order to protect everyone's common territory, each tribe dispatched twenty elites, and this left forty. Then, they sent ten more healthy and strong clansmen, and there were thirty male clansmen left in their hands. As far as I know, these six tribal territories are not small, and thirty male clansmen can barely protect their own territory, and there is no extra manpower to do other things. In addition, they also have to take care of hunting, patriarch, do the math, are they enough for such a few people?"

"In other words, with the exception of the thirty male clansmen who guard the territory and the tribe, they only use the forty female clansmen in the tribe to hunt, can they feed everyone?"

Seeing what the old patriarch wanted to say, the thief hurriedly said: "Of course, I'm not saying that female clansmen are useless, but compared to men, they don't have our spear throwers, nor flying stone ropes, and can only hunt with the most basic fighting methods, how much prey can they get in a day? If they use male clansmen to hunt?

The old patriarch's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but shake his head while being excited, and asked Ji Thief: "In that case, then why do you still try to divide their strength? Isn't this harming the interests of the Federation?"

Ji Thief spread his hands and said with an innocent look: "Please, Patriarch, those twenty people in the Eastern Plains are inevitable and must be let go, and it is impossible to rely on only one of our tribes to protect them, in this case, why should I share resources with them?"

"What about these ten people?"

Ji thief said: "I just proposed to serve, and they agreed, it's as simple as that, it's not that I forced them, what you like me, God can't say anything." โ€
