Chapter 4: Racial Feuds

The three races of Mothmen, Scaly Demons and Het Antmen originally coexisted in harmony in this vast Kalle steppe. The Ant-Men are another highly intelligent species on the planet Seine, and they are burly in size, ranging from 1.8 to 2 meters in size. The Ant-Man has a black and white layer of armor on his chest and abdomen, and his head, neck, and limbs are not armored, but have soft, yellowish-brown skin. With bright black eyes, a coordinated nose and mouth, and a pair of pointed ears that are erected upwards, and black hair, the Ant-Man looks somewhat kind. They also have strong thighs, and they are blessed with strong running and jumping abilities, coupled with their skillful use of tools, they are excellent craftsmen on this planet. The Ant-Men have a different language than the Mothman and the Scaly Demons. Decades ago, the Ant-Man and the three races of Mothman and Scale Demon worked together to drive the carnivore unicorn that had always dominated the Kalle Steppe out of the Kalle Grassland, so for more than a few decades, the three races have been relatively peaceful, enjoying this hard-won peace together.

The Scales are the weakest of the three races, and they are relatively backward, living mainly on the western banks of the delta where the lower Mana River meets the Red Lake. The Scaly Demon Tribe is dotted with dozens of villages, and they make a living from fishing and primitive farming. Moths live mainly on the northern shore of Red Lake, 20 kilometers from the delta.

Mainly found in the vast grasslands north of Kalle, this race is the most numerous, and they live by growing the staple food five-color corn, and are relatively productive. After driving out the unicorn, the Ant-Man divided more than half of the grasslands north of Kalle and established the Ant-Man's own Blue Song Kingdom.

The Mothmen occupy the southwestern corner of the Kalle savannah, where their daily work is to plant and harvest banana fruits, a staple food basket.

In the later period, the Antmen and Mothmen had slowly mastered the technology of smelting metals and the technology of metal craft, and could make bows and arrows and javelins.

The Scales will often trade their surplus fish for metal tools and weapons with the Antmen and Mothmen to improve farming efficiency and ward off predators. The Scaly Demon has not been abandoned by history, and they have also slowly become civilized in the process of interacting with the Hit-Ant-Man, and with the support of the Moth-Man, the Scaly Demon has slowly mastered most of the technology and productivity of the Hit-Ant-Man and the Moth-Man.

In the past two years, because the population of the Ant-people has grown rapidly, their land on the northern side of the grassland has a large proportion of rocky geology, and the available arable land is relatively limited, so they gradually moved their attention to the southwest of the fertile Kalle grassland, and quietly invaded the territory of the moths and scale demons. Because of this, in the past year, there have been several conflicts between the three resident tribes of the Kalle steppe that originally lived in harmony, mainly between the Moth and the Het Ant-Man, and the scale demon has always made concessions to the Het Ant-Man.

At present, the Hunters have built two castle complexes and numerous villages, roads and bridges in the Kalle steppe. They were building chariots in large numbers in the name of defending against the unicorn dragons of the Maka Heights to the north, but the Mothmen and the Scaly Demon knew that this was a threat to them.

Two months ago, the translator who spoke the language of the Gregory Demon, Deputy Slot, accepted the invitation of King Lan Ge to visit the newly built large steel smelting site in the Blue Song City of the Ant-Man. As a result, he was told that the metal produced by the large metal smelter would be used to make chariots. On the same day, the Ant-Man King Schaller, during dinner with Roth, made a suggestion to him, and the Ant-Men exchanged their current habitat for the Scaly Demons in exchange for their current habitat, about 4,600 square kilometers of fertile grasslands along the river. Deputy Slott said on the spot that he would go back to discuss before replying, and Schaller demanded that he must give a statement after 20 days.

After returning to the Scaly Demon Tribe, Roth reported the matter to the patriarch Chi Nubo. After pondering for a long time, Chi Fubo ordered someone to go to Moth City to report the matter to the Moth Queen so that they could discuss countermeasures. Because just a few months ago, the scale demon and the mothman have been preparing for a war with the Cytes, the cause of which is the gradual encroachment of the Antmen on the territory of the Mothman and the Scaly Demon in the past year. They have become aware of the threat of the Ant-Man's nakedness, and have to unite to seek self-preservation.

After learning of the Scaly Demon's unreasonable demands on the Scaly Demon, the Moth Queen sent Xia Lier and others to secretly meet with the Scaly Demon Patriarch Chi Nu Bo, and decided to speed up the hoarding of chariots and light weapons, waiting for the opportunity to jointly give the Giant Ant-Man a fatal blow before the time agreed by the Scaly Demon and the Giant Ant-Man, hoping to force the Giant Ant-Man to back down and completely draw a line with the Giant Ant-Man. Although the Mothmen are more docile than the Ant-Men, they also have high intelligence and understand that technology is the foundation of their survival. The Mothman's huge mushroom city is also impregnable, and the westernmost mushroom city is the Mothman's manufacturing workshop, where you can make bows, arrows, chariots and other sharp weapons.

Regrettably, the scale demon still chose to back down at the critical moment. Red Fury Bo thought of compromising and exchanging his current habitat for the city of Modoko in the north. But the result of this is that the tribal alliance of the Moth and the Scale Demon is completely **, and the consequence is naturally that the strength of the Moth and the Scale Demon is weaker, and they will eventually become a vassal of the Blue Song Kingdom or be driven away from the Kalle steppe forever by the powerful Het Antmen. The Scaly Demon fears that if the combined army of the Moth and the Scaly Demon is defeated, the consequence will also be to lose the Scaly Demon's own territory in exchange for the city of Modoko, and the Mothman's territory will be further encroached. This result is not only unfavorable to the scale demon, but also affects the mothman. Therefore, after two days of discussion, the scale demons finally chose to flee from this place, escaping from the Kalle grassland and the Red Lake, where their ancestors had lived.

Three days ago, when Xia Lei'er, the head of the Mothren Army's guard, led his troops to the Scaly Demon Tribe to join the Scaly Demon, he found that the entire Scaly Demon Tribe had disappeared. The Mothman immediately concluded that it was the Scaly Demon who flinched and fled. So they sent reconnaissance teams to search along the Mana River, and they found a vast army of migrating scales in the great plains on the east bank of the Mana River. The Scuty Demon intends to flee to the far east coast through hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of forest.

By this time, they had already escaped more than 90 kilometers from the delta after a day and two nights of trekking. The Scuts abandoned their chariots, taking only bows and javelins for self-defense, as well as food and daily tools. The giant centipedes in the fleeing procession of the Scaly Demon Tribe lined up in a long and orderly manner, carrying the Scaly Demons and their belongings to the eastern highlands. Centipedes are domesticated animals in the Kalle steppe 10,000 years ago, they are 4-6 meters long, more than 2 meters high, weigh more than 2 tons, and have 86 legs. They have a particularly thick and tough skin, and the cocoon skin is more than 10 centimeters thick, which helps them resist damage from external enemies. Centipedes can reach speeds of up to 20 km/h, and their soft body shape is always able to balance the person or object on their back when moving quickly. Centipedes are herbivores, with a sickle-like tusk that is more than 20 centimeters long, and can easily break arm-thick branches into two in order to eat the young leaves of the tree. They have a docile temperament and are generally domesticated by the steppe Ant-Man, Moth-Man, and Scale Demons for farming.

In the face of the scale demon's escape, she led the scouts to chase the scale demon escape team and made a decisive decision, leading a group of mothmen to drive the scale demon patriarch Chi Fubo into the air with lightning speed, and quickly brought it back to Mushroom City. Xia Li'er knew that the leader of the scale demon had been kidnapped and had to give up and flee. In fact, she was right, and the deputy secretary of the scale demon had no choice but to stop fleeing and lead a group of people to Mushroom City to try to negotiate.
