Chapter 322

"We suffered a plunder." The high priest of heavy rock sighed, "a plunder enough to make our heavy rock tribe extinct."

"Plunder?" Sean frowned slightly.

The word plunder is as literally explained.

But in the wild, because of the emergence of the king of the wild and the alliance and restraint of the first-class and second-class tribes, plundering, which obviously will exterminate those weak tribes, should be restrained or even eliminated. Especially at present, when the wild land is about to enter winter, the act of plundering is unforgivable, because the cold winter will freeze the whole wild land, the water and grass will wither one after another, and the limited water source will freeze into ice. Therefore, at this time, we can only rely on extremely Limited meat and clothing to eat and keep warm.

Almost every winter, a large number of people die in the wilderness.

It can be said that the severe winter is the important factor limiting the population growth of the whole wilderness. This is why every tribe will not expand its scale and reproduce in large numbers at will. Without enough food and warmth, those newly born children will never survive the first cold winter - of course, the Kobold and goblins are not included. These two races are famous for their huge ethnic groups, but their usual attrition is also great, So without enough offspring, they will be extinct in endless war without even severe winter.

But Sean also knew that plundering in the wilderness had another meaning.

Expansion.

"Which tribe is expanding?" Sean asked.

Just one word surprised the high priest of Chongyan. He thought that when the heavy hammer said that Sean was very familiar with the wild land and was probably the distinguished guests of the first-class tribe, he thought that the heavy hammer was just a white lie made up to increase Sean's identity and status, but now from the point that Sean could think of expansion only when he heard of plunder, the high priest of heavy rock felt that he was obviously too arbitrary.

However, it is no wonder that people who have been long enough often feel proud and proud because of the accumulation and increase of their own knowledge, resulting in the illusion of a leader in a certain field. Therefore, they instinctively maintain a skeptical attitude towards many things, so they appear arbitrary and subjective, which is just a "side effect" of longevity.

"You don't have to be surprised. It's just a simple logical reasoning. Anyone who knows the situation in the wilderness can infer it." Sean could easily feel the change of the high priest Chongyan's attitude. Of course, he could feel the surprise in his eyes. "Generally, the tribes that like plundering exist like the Rossi tribe. They like war and enjoy war, and do not engage in any production behavior. All supplies are provided by the employer, and they will plunder when necessary. However, the plundering of such tribes is very measured and will not cause major harm and impact on the sustainable development of a tribe. "

"But you just said that the result of this plundering to your heavy rock tribe is almost a crisis of extinction, which obviously exceeds the standard. In connection with the coming winter, I boldly speculate that the essence of this plunder is not to help their tribe survive the severe winter, but to bring greater benefits to the tribe And what kind of income is the greater income? Based on my understanding of the wilderness, only expansion can bring benefits through plunder. Only expansion can really strengthen a tribe. "

This time, not only the high priest of Chongyan was surprised, but also Ronan and the barbarian old man were shocked. Only the heavy hammer seemed to have accepted Sean's omnipotent and powerful, and his face remained calm, especially when he saw the surprised look on everyone's face, including the high priest.

A moment later, the high priest of Chongyan, who came back to God, nodded and said, "it's really like what you inferred The people who plundered our heavy rock tribe were the Heishui tribe. "

"Black water?" Sean thought a little and knew something.

Blackwater tribe is a second-class seat tribe that is very strong and eye-catching in the later game. Except that this tribe has no big witch sacrifice and cannot be promoted to the first-class seat tribe, its tribe is no weaker than any first-class seat tribe in terms of scale and combat effectiveness. Especially in several military operations against the Millennium covenant Empire, the black wolf cavalry of the Heishui tribe was responsible for the important combat power.

This is a super first-class and powerful tribe of dog headed people, barbarians, goblins, dwarves, lizards, half dragons and many orcs.

History has not produced any deviation, but continues to move forward step by step.

At present, the predatory expansion should be one of the main reasons for the prosperity of this tribe.

At least, in the later history Sean knew, the Blackwater tribe was no longer self-sufficient without plundering.

"Yes, this is a villain tribe!" The high priest of heavy rock said angrily, "he is not a subsidiary of habek tribe, but attached to Heijin tribe, which is a powerful tribe ruled by dwarves The Heijin tribe and the habek tribe do not agree with each other, so as long as the Heishui tribe does not plunder the Heijin tribe's subsidiary, but takes the habek tribe's subsidiary as the plundering target, the Heijin tribe will ignore it. "

"What about your clan leader tribe?" Sean asked curiously, "since the black gold tribe ignored it, as your patriarch tribe should have the obligation to protect your affiliated tribes, didn't the habek tribe take any targeted measures?"

Hearing Sean's words, high priest Chongyan smiled helplessly: "the act of plundering itself is not prohibited. These are the necessary conditions for the survival of the tribe. It is only because Wang does not agree now that the major tribes have converged and restrained. However, this behavior will certainly not be completely prohibited for a while and a half. In fact, many tribes are doing this in the wilderness. Even because this behavior may be completely prohibited in the future, it is getting worse. "

"Moreover, unlike your external lords, the patriarch tribe has the responsibility to protect the leaders of its territory." The heavy hammer took over the words and continued to explain, "if it is the invasion of foreign enemies, the clan leader tribe certainly has the obligation to send troops, but it is generally the people of our small tribes who are responsible for fighting and consuming But if it's just an internal dispute in the wilderness, the patriarchal tribe never intervenes. Otherwise, how dare the Yanqi tribe, which is also attached to the habek tribe, brazenly raise troops to invade us? "

Hearing this, Sean finally realized: "I see. No wonder I haven't been able to understand it. Now I finally understand it."

The wilderness is actually a microcosm of the whole miracle continent.

The tribes here are actually no different from those kingdoms outside. The wars between them are just to make their tribes stronger. It's just that many things are more naked and cruel. Unlike those principalities attached to various empires, principalities belonging to the same patriarchal state will not launch wars against each other, but there are also conspiracies and tricks between each other.

This is the reality.

"Therefore, our tribe is really at the end of its tether. It's our sin not to entertain you with the best things." High priest Chongyan sincerely apologized to Sean, "but don't worry, my guest. I've ordered the following people to kill ten pigs and sheep tonight to entertain your guests and your subordinates. This is the only thing we can do."

"Ten pigs and sheep?" Sean was slightly stunned. "When I followed you in just now, I saw that there seemed to be only ten pigs and sheep left in your tribal livestock pen."

"Yes." High priest Chongyan nodded, "there are only ten fattened adults who have not been robbed. In addition, there are several young sheep and a cow. Please forgive me that I can't entertain you with lambs, because it is really important for the survival of our tribe. Moreover, after the old sheep are slaughtered, they can also make more clothes to keep out the cold, at least to help the children of the tribe through the severe winter. "

"Strange." Sean was puzzled and incomprehensible, "since the Blackwater tribe can plunder, why can't you?"

"This distinguished guest, it's not that we can't, but that we can't do it." The old barbarian who had not spoken for a long time finally spoke, "becoming the target of Heishui tribe, not only suffered heavy material losses, but also the people in the tribe The chief, the captain of the guard and all the chief candidates have died. At the same time, many young people in the tribe have died. Now our whole heavy rock tribe has less than 50 people, most of them are old people and children. It is very difficult to gather up a guard. "

Sean recalled what he had seen in the heavy rock tribe before. There were not many people who rushed out to fight with the strength of the family, and there were also many old people and children. After hearing the barbarian's words, he finally realized that the heavy rock tribe had been so badly hit, At the same time, I also understand why those dog headed people of Yanqi tribe dare to trouble the barbarians of Chongyan tribe.

"Who said that all your candidates for chiefs died in the war? There's only one here." Sean stretched out his hand and pushed the heavy hammer. "Since there are no chiefs and chief candidates in your tribe now, it should be a matter of course for the heavy hammer to become the chief of the heavy rock tribe now?"

"It's really appropriate." After a moment of silence, the high priest of Chongyan finally nodded, "old wick, you should arrange it immediately. Tonight, while entertaining the distinguished guests, you should also announce to the people of the clan that the chief of our tribe will be ataba in the future!"

"Yes!" The old barbarian still looked energetic. After making a chest beating ceremony unique to barbarians, he turned and left here.

"And it's not a problem without troops." Sean said calmly, "me and the hammer... Well, should it be chief ataba now? I have another agreement with chief ataba, so I will stay with your heavy hammer tribe for a while. "

"You mean..." the eyes of high priest Chongyan suddenly shone with a kind of pure light.

Sean smiled and nodded.

Everything is in silence.
