By the time the war was over and the other four islands had been occupied, it was June, and the fleet had departed in January, and it had been four months since they left the tribe, and there were not many days left to use.

Fresh water and food no longer pose a threat, but the animal repellent grass carried can only last for nine months, in addition, in the cold season, the snow covers the sea, I don't know if it will freeze here, but it will definitely freeze there.

At most, it was delayed until the end of August, and it was necessary to return in time, otherwise the consequences would be very serious, and the soldiers hurried to work, and it took a month to complete the construction of the high wall around the island, and it took a month to complete the garrison and farmland.

The fleet then left the island and set out on its return journey, which benefited greatly from the acquisition of five islands, leaving a way out for the tribe, which had no minerals but could trade with the Black Cat tribe.

However, the retreat is just a retreat, and if you want to migrate the tribe, it is unlikely, not to mention other alien beasts, the black cat will not agree in the first place, and can only transfer part of the bloodline to the sea for temporary preservation.

The hope of solving the dilemma is still only the Wind King's Department...... Standing on the side of the ship, looking at the gradually disappearing island, his eyes were indescribably deep, and the mighty fleet of ships was slowly moving in the direction of coming.

......

Two months later, before the cold season fell, the fleet reached the coast and, to the cheers of the whole tribe, returned to the tribe, where the nine-month overseas voyage came to an end.

At the time of departure, three thousand men, three bronze heavy ships, five seven-masted galleons, ten five-masted galleons, twenty three-masted galleons, fifty brigs, and a hundred dhows, were in high spirits and high spirits.

When he returned, there were only three seven-masted galleons, six five-masted galleons, twelve three-masted galleons, thirty brigs, sixty sloops, and even three bronze heavy ships, which were also quite damaged.

There are only more than 2,000 warriors left, and the survivors are all disgraced and embarrassed, some of the warriors died in the battle with the orcs, and some of the warriors died in the ocean.

There is also a part, dead in the mouth of the strange beast, and on the bronze heavy ship in the middle, there is a huge manta ray, nearly a hundred zhang long, like a giant tail of a steel whip, which occupies one-third of the body.

Although it had been dead for a long time, the corpse was still intact, and on the boxy body, the traces of battle were clearly visible, several large openings were intertwined, and the bright red skin and flesh were turned out, but the activity did not weaken much.

Originally, when we set out from the island, there were more than 2,500 soldiers left, but on the way back, we encountered two storms, both of which were not small, not only losing supplies, but also nearly 100 soldiers.

In particular, this alien beast manta ray killed the fleet by surprise, when the storm had just passed, the warriors were exhausted and lay on the deck to rest, and the alien warriors were also busy, counting and carrying supplies.

The manta rays hid their form and aura beyond even the Warriors, and by the time Wood Fire sensed something was wrong, the beasts had lurked beneath the fleet and leapt out of the sea to attack the sailboats and warriors.

The strength of the big guy is very strong, and even on top of the original Molong, it is about to break through to the middle stage, one big witch, three middle times and one early stage, in its heyday, it could have been solved by joining forces.

But they had just experienced the storm, and it took a lot of effort and great effort to finally kill it, and during the battle, more than 200 warriors died at the hands of the manta rays.

The few beast repellent grass left were also damaged and consumed a lot, so that in the last few days, they relied on animal avoidance powder to support it, and a conflict broke out with many fish schools, and more than 100 people died.

After a short intensive training, the basic situation at sea was informed to the other high-level officials, and the high-level officials held a meeting, and the wood fire left the hall and went to the mountain and river to wash the stains on his body.

"Daddy!" was about to walk to the orchard, when he saw a young man, waving at him from afar, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, the young man threw himself into his arms, hugged him excitedly, and the person who came was Mu Yu.

I haven't seen each other for more than eight months, Mu Yu has grown a lot taller, he is nine years old, primitive people develop quickly, and he will become an adult at the age of fifteen, and his physical development is much faster than his peers, and he has grown into a teenager.

At the same time, he also became a warrior, a nine-year-old warrior! much more vigorous than in the days of Wood Fire, he used to be a warrior at the age of fifteen, and now the tribe, there are not a few warriors at the age of twelve or thirteen.

But a warrior in his early tens is already rare, and a nine-year-old warrior has directly refreshed the record, not to mention, he is still a witch disciple, and the body of a witch disciple is much slower than that of a normal person.

Mu Yu was already able to harness his wings and soar for a short time, not only because of the bloodline of the Great Witch and Wizard, but also because of his own talent, regardless of his background, he was already the successor of the tribe.

For his growth, Mu Huo was very satisfied, and handed him the gift of his ninth birthday, which was a necklace, which he made himself, carved from red coral, very beautiful, and not low.

Ordinary coral, after his infusion and infusion, the nature has changed, containing a faint aura, worn on the body for a long time, can warm the physique, calm the mind, enhance strength, and is invaluable.

The time is late autumn, the cold season is coming, Lin Lin is busy brewing rice wine, fresh wheat and rice, the wine brewed is also more delicious, and when she sees the wood fire back, she is also happy to put down her work.

Going to sea is different from going into the mountains, compared to going out to sea to expand the territory, she is more assured that the wood fire will go into the mountains to destroy the alien beasts, on land, if there is an accident, she can escape everywhere, and if an accident occurs at sea, there is nowhere to escape.

Lin Lin hugged Mu Huo, buried her head in his chest, felt his heartbeat, and was reluctant to let go for a long time, Mu Huo also hugged her tightly, touched her head and didn't speak, Mu Yu went back to the room to do his homework with interest.

In the evening, on the big lobster brought back by the wood fire, Lin Lin opened a jar of loquat wine for five years and made a pipa prawn, and the family of three was happy, competing for the tender shrimp meat, laughing and laughing.

......

The joy is short-lived, the threat of the War King Department is still hanging overhead, after the birth season comes, the wood fire sets off with the team again, this time the target is no longer overseas, but the coast, is the sea waiting department.

After years of development, the size of the trading team has also been expanded many times, and today, there is a team of 800 people, all of whom are warriors, 200 horses on horseback, and 300 war cattle for transporting goods.

Most of them are aliens, and there are also a small number of human races, on the side of foreign races, those who can speak can still be aliens, and years of war have made aliens and human races hate each other, not that they can be released.

For more than 30 years, the trade team also has a fixed route, and the dangers on the road have been basically cleared, and the tribes that want to trade, but are too far apart, will also wait on the road at a specific time.

There are no special warriors in the trade team, and the combat effectiveness of the abnormal warriors is too terrible, and it is a mortal threat to other tribes, which is not conducive to communication, but the warriors in the team are all flesh and blood warriors, and their strength is strong.

Eight hundred heavily armed flesh and blood warriors, mid-term ability warriors can all be killed, and even the big tribes dare not provoke, it's not that they can't be defeated, but they are afraid that the losses will be too heavy, there is no conflict of interest, and there is no need to find trouble.

The strength of the gentle slope area near the forest is the weakest, most of the Terrans, a small number of aliens, the middle beach area is medium, the Terrans and the aliens are intermingled, and the outer coastal areas are the strongest, most of them are aliens, and the Terrans are scarce.

There are fifteen large tribes on the coast under the control of the Ministry of Maritime Weather, and unlike the Ministry of Forestry, the Maritime Tribes are stronger, and all the large tribes in the territory have to submit and pay a large amount of tribute on a regular basis.

Most of the people under the jurisdiction are alien tribes, and there are also two Terran tribes in the gentle slope area, but the situation of the Terran tribes is unbearable, not only to pay a large amount of materials, but also to be bullied by the alien tribes and exploited from time to time.

In fact, this is true not only of the alien territory, but also of the human territory, taking the jungle as an example, there is an alien tribe called the rabbit tribe who is good at drilling holes, and it is often bullied by various tribes, and the taxes are as heavy as a mountain.

It became a lot easier to go to the Wood Hou Department to manage the jungle, and it became a lot easier to look down on their taxes, and under the indirect influence of the wood fire, the Mu Hou Department may be the Terran tribe with the least sense of racial honor on the entire continent.

What is a sense of honor? Can it be eaten? Can it be used? Can it make the people happy? Can it make the tribe stronger? Can it make the enemy retreat? Can it make life peaceful? What? Can't? Isn't that just waste?

From the jungle to the coast, in fact, the distance is not far, the coast is long and narrow, only less than 2,000 miles from north to south, but more than 4,000 miles from east to west, the sea weather department lives in the coastal area, only more than 1,000 miles away from the jungle.

However, there are too many transactions on the road, and every time they walk a short distance, they will meet tribes who take the initiative to come to trade, delaying the time of travel, and the tribes on the coast, regardless of human race or foreign race, are extremely enthusiastic about them.

The last time the wood fire came, before he was halfway there, he was chased and killed everywhere, hiding in Tibet, which can be called the most embarrassing days, but now, it is the welcome of the middle road, which really makes him in a trance, and some of them are not used to it.

War can only be hateful, and interests can make people friendly. Along the way, not to mention robbers and robbers, there are even tribes that organize themselves to escort the trading team, so they don't have to worry about safety at all.

The three hundred war oxen carried 2,000 each, carrying 600,000 catties of materials, walking out of the gentle slope in a month, walking on the beach in a month, enjoying the scenery along the way through the wooden fire, and when they arrived at the Weather Department, only half of the goods were left.

The area where the headquarters of the Weather Department is located is a cratered reef, ranging from bare reefs to potholes filled with saltwater, with saltwater plants and shallow fish in some places.

The tribesmen of the Hou tribe used reefs and palm fronds to build houses, most of which had no ground, just ponds, and the sea people had gills and lungs, and their body parts were covered with fish scales, and their legs were slender.

They can breathe underwater and walk out of the shore, but they prefer to be underwater rather than bare ground, and even sleep in the water, and the sea people like the wind and rain and build houses just to block the sun.

On the outside of the settlement, the reef was also piled up, and a low stone wall was built, which was less than half a zhang, and the stone wall was not very defensive, and its main function was to warn other tribes and demarcate the boundaries of the territory.

The alien race has a very strong sense of territory, and it is extremely unwelcome for foreign races to enter the territory, even if it is another foreign race! The trading team has also made many transactions in the Maritime Weather Department, but each time it is outside the stone wall.

Outside the stone wall is a vast sandy beach, and simple grass and wood huts have been built, which can be regarded as the contact point of the Ministry of Maritime Weather to the outside world, and the tribute and hospitality of the affiliated tribes, as well as the trade and exchanges of other tribes, are carried out here.
