When everything was ready, Bladefang, after leaving one-fifth of the hunter team to exchange, took all the sub-adult trolls of the Nomen tribe who could travel far away.

On the return trip, nearly half of the time was saved with the help of the river, and the group of trolls arrived at the section of the Finabe River in less than three days.

At this point, the trolls took out the makeshift oars they had prepared earlier at the signal of Bladefang, and began to row desperately in the direction of the riverbank.

Obviously, they are completely grinding their guns in battle, which is quite unreliable, thanks to the 'miracle of strength' to barely get to the shore.

But when they landed, the formation of the 'fleet' was out of shape, and the most skilled, the oarsman, probably paddling vertically, drifted thousands of meters before he managed to reach the shore.

In stark contrast to the big trolls, who were tired enough, were the little trolls mixed in the ranks; They didn't realize the hard work of the boat operators at all, and since most of them were out of the tribe for the first time in their lives, they were squeaking excitedly at this time.

Once on the shore, the trolls dragged the raft with one hand and picked up weapons with the other;

Some of them were assigned to the 'Bring the Kids' task, and they easily pinched the half-sized trolls under their armpits and strode in the direction where the fangs had landed.

After a long 'chaotic battle', the team was finally able to reassemble under the curious gaze of the remaining team that had already heard the news and the trolls of Finna.

After counting and finding that there was no shortage of personnel, he breathed a sigh of relief and led the trolls to Finay in the sight of many onlookers.

Meiya took the two children and naturally followed him, originally according to the precedent of Tuya staying in Fina, she should stay in Nomen to sort out the inheritance.

But Bladetooth felt that the apprentice was more than capable of doing the job, and that the witch doctor should go back to his headquarters to do more irreplaceable work....

So, he left only one apprentice in Normen, and brought Miya back.

When he returned to the tooth from Finnay this time, he was going to take the tooth with him altogether, leaving only the apprentice behind.

He even plans to make a proposal when he returns, and further establish the "apprentice hunting spot" as a fixed system.

As for how much of it was out of public intentions during this period, and how much of it was selfishness because he didn't want Meiya to stay too far away from him..... Then it is unknown.

Anyway, Meiya has been very happy because of her husband's decision these days.

~~~~~~~~~

During the time they left, they stayed in the Fina Ministry... The hunters who stayed in the Finai area had stockpiled some food.

Bladefang plans to take advantage of this opportunity to bring back the part of the left-behind people's rations, which will be used as an experiment to test the feasibility of transporting grain through the river.

Thus, the previous 'shipbuilding' campaign at Nomen was again opened at Finay, and after several days of intense labor, another raft was built.

Before leaving, a decision had to be made on who would stay and who would go.

The 125 soldiers who accompanied him must have been taken away;

Of the remaining 600 hunters, 60 tooth trolls were previously exchanged in the Normen region, and one-fifth of the Normen trolls were exchanged for one-fifth of their blood in one fell swoop, and they will continue to be exchanged in phases thereafter.

The former member of the Fina Division, he also planned to follow this process, leaving 150 teeth and exchanging 150 Fina.

As for how often to rotate in the future and how much to rotate each time, these are too specific questions, so let's make a decision after returning to the tribe.

After setting the rules and drawing lots to determine the five hunters who remained behind, he arranged for the trolls to pick up the frozen meat, bring a new batch of children, and carry the 'fleet' mixed with the three trolls on the way home.

~~~~~~~~~

The return journey took only two days, and by the time they reached the section of the White River that flowed through the Tooth, the right bank was already full of trolls from their hometown who had received the news.

In the distance, the tooth trolls saw the raft convoy coming downstream.

At first, it didn't seem unusual, but as the rafts grew, and grew, and finally took over almost all the rivers in sight, the almost endless spectacle of the landscape shook the heartstrings of all the trolls.

But they knew that it was the power of their own tribe, another miracle brought about by the Tooth Witch Doctor, so they boiled.

The trolls ran along the shore with the raft, shouting all sorts of cheers, treating Bladefang and all those who traveled with them like heroes.

On the surface of the river, the tooth trolls are naturally as proud as ever;

Even not so long ago, they were landlubbers who did not dare to get up on rafts;

But at this moment, they actually stood up in a fit of pride, and in the direction of the river bank in the bumpy, they posed in various poses that they felt could best highlight their bravery.

Carried away, always accompanied by joy and sorrow....

With several 'poof' and 'poof' sounds, several trolls that were too big were overturned from the raft in the bumps they had made.

Fortunately, they all had vines tied around their waists, and the other end was tied to their respective rafts;

Once in the water, it is almost impossible for these guys to float on their own, which avoids the terrible fate of drowning.

But their doom is obviously more than that.....

Several previous lessons had proved that the weight of the trolls in the prime of life after entering the water prevented them from climbing up again with one end of the raft on it;

If you do that, you will only make the raft flip helplessly in the water.

So they could only hold on to the vines, pull themselves to the bottom of the raft, and squeeze their faces into the gaps in the raft as best they could to breathe;

At the same time, you have to keep pushing the water sideways to get closer to the shore as soon as possible, in order to rescue, or step on the shallows to be rescued.

Otherwise, now that I am also a troll in my prime, I can't float the same blade teeth, and I may really not be able to save them, and where I can drift in the end depends on luck....

Fortunately, there is not a strange river basin near the trolls, but just next to the teeth, and it just so happens that the witch doctors of the tribe have already been waiting here with the trolls watching the excitement, ready to welcome the arrival of the 'fleet'.

When the trolls were desperately kicking the shore, several vines were thrown from the shore, and as soon as they made contact, they tightly wrapped around the raft and began to retract under the control of the spell.

So, the vines pulled the raft, the trolls pulled the raft, and a few happy and sad trolls were dragged back after making jokes for the other compatriots for a while.

They were lying on their backs on the bank of the river trembling at this time, swearing in their hearts that they would never twist their butts on the raft again.

Soon after, most of the trolls, who had not had any accidents, began to paddle in the direction of the riverbank.

They are better at muscle memory to some extent, and they are a little more relaxed after another experience, at least there are no more fools who cut water with oars vertically.....

The team, which was 212 trolls less than when it set off, led the trolls of Fina and Nomen, who looked a little uneasy, to return to the place where they set off in the middle of the road.

At this point, the first 'expedition' of the tooth ..... The first armed off-road finally ended smoothly.
