Chapter 17: Before Going to Sea

"One, two, three, down!" a trumpet sounded in the otherwise quiet forest. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Huge trees fell to the ground with a "boom!"

A row of sturdy and rough men immediately surrounded them with sharp axes, and after a frenzied split, they cut off all the branches of the big tree, leaving only the bare trunk.

The trunk was dragged by a group of strong men to a newly opened path, and placed on the rows of rolling logs on the path, along which the thick trunks of the trees were successively transported out of the forest to the devastated port at the foot of the mountain outside the forest.

The small port has long since lost its original appearance, and the peace and tranquility of the past have all vanished, and now all that is left here is a staggered house, a flat land that has been razed to ruins. The ruins were burning with flames that had not yet been extinguished, and huge wild wolves were chasing and frolicking in the ruins with stumps and severed arms.

Outside the harbor, there were tents and wolves. Huge bonfires were lit, and stout men and women danced primitive and savage dances around the bonfires. The men and women gathered around the campfire ate and cheered for the dancers.

And in the shipyard near the mouth of the sea, the lights are also bright, the whipping sound and the roar of the giant wolf are constantly heard here. A group of shipbuilders who have been captured from all over the world are working here day and night.

The logs were processed, cut, bundled, punched, fastened to each other, decked, broadsided, and oarsed, and everyone was busy building strange ships that were rough and primitive.

"My lord, this shipbuilding is not so simple, the wood and keel used have to be processed for many years, like you, directly use fresh wood, and do not erect keels, such a simple ship, is not the opponent of the sea, this can't go far at all, when it encounters a big wind and waves, it will turn over! Your drawing is completely wrong. The red-eyed old shipwright couldn't help but speak to the overseer.

He didn't really want to help these murderous demons, he was just afraid that if the ship capsized, in the end, their boatwrights would not be a dead end.

But the head of the overseer didn't take his words to heart, waved his whip and said: "Hurry up and go back to building a ship, this is the shipbuilding drawings left by our ancestors, we have relied on this kind of ship for thousands of years to cross the sea, there will be absolutely no problem, don't be verbose, have any bad thoughts, hurry up and give me work!"

"Alas......" sighed the old shipwright, and had to go back to building the primitive and simple ships, where he knew that disobedience would only be whipped or fed to the terrible wolves.

In the largest tent outside the city, the leaders of a group of werewolf herders were arguing.

"Demon Wolf Tribe, you occupy three big ships, not to mention, and now you still want to occupy the shipyard, you are like this, how can we go to sea?" a leader stood up.

"Aren't all the other boats given to you? Besides, I'm either going to take over the shipyard or send someone to watch over it to prevent the boatmen from escaping." The leader of the Demon Wolf Tribe, who was wearing a bear's skin, said with a smile.

"Hehe, send someone to take care of it, I think you want to rob the ship, right?"

"Demon wolf, let's open it up, everyone is taught day by day, even if you go to the Iron Forest first, just your tribe, do you think you can get benefits from those moon worshippers?" someone else persuaded.

"Yes, we should join forces, this sea route is not easy to walk, maybe those people still want to ambush us at sea, we are not good at naval warfare, we don't have enough strength to defend at that time, I'm afraid we won't survive the Iron Forest." Another older tribal leader also stepped forward.

"I just want to protect the shipyard, since everyone doesn't agree, then everyone will send someone to guard it together, anyway, the ship will come out as promised, everyone will take it in turn." The leader of the Demon Wolf Tribe's tone softened.

"Yes, yes, it's all a family, everyone has to unite so that they can suppress the Luna Cult in the festival and achieve their goals. And now we don't have much time, seven days later, we will officially go to sea! Everyone should not think about anything else, and they will all go together!" a tribal leader who looked very old stepped forward and made a plan.

......

In the camp of the White Wolf Tribe, the leader who had just returned from attending the meeting gathered his subordinates.

"Okay, the ranking has been decided, in addition to the demon wolf and the wind wolf, our white wolf is the third to get a boat, well, we can get about 12 boats, plus those small fishing boats we collected, it should be enough. The leader asked.

"In terms of quantity, it should be enough, after all, there are still a lot of things transported by raft ships, and of course there is no problem in transporting people. It's just that if you transport the wolf cubs, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of losses, after all, no matter the big wolf or the small wolf, when you get to the sea, the bumps along the way, I'm afraid it's ......" A man with a big knife on his back hesitated.

"Isn't there anything we can do? don't we have several veterinarians?" the leader's brow furrowed.

"It can definitely be cured, but the effect is not great, after all, there are so many wolves, and they are still at sea, where can we have time? In the end, there are still too many winds and waves, and we have too few ships. Another man, who was in charge of managing the wolves, sighed.

"After all, we still want big boats!" The leader hammered the ground hard: "These damned fishermen have burned so many big boats for nothing! If you know about it, you should attack it early! Kill them before they burn the boat!"

"I have a way!" a young man stepped forward.

"Oh, Lucian, I know that you've always had a lot of ideas, so tell me what you do. The leader looked at the young man with interest.

"If you want to reduce casualties, you just want a big ship, but now there are 5 big ships, three are on the demon wolf's side, and we and the wind wolf each have one, I suggest, anyway, the current batch of veterinarians is not much of a role, it is better to give the demon wolf side, and they will change to a big ship." Then we let the wolves all get on the big boat, and we took the raft, after all, we can endure the bumps and cold, and the wolf can't carry it. The young man explained in detail.

"Oh, two big ships can fit in?" the leader's eyes widened.

"Yes, there are probably more than 1,200 wolves in our tribe, but in fact, there are more than 500 big wolves with combat effectiveness. It's still okay to have two big ships, each with more than 200 giant wolves. Of course, the most important thing is that the leader can exchange you for a big ship. The young man said in a clear manner.

"Okay, I see, I'm going to go to the devil wolf's people and use those veterinarians to exchange for a big ship and come back. "The strong leader was resolute and went out at once.
