Haibing Village is a village with a large population of 20,000 people. It is in a pretty good location. Not far from the south is the seaside. It is located in a grassy area with only a few human tribes around. The relationship is quite good.
Basically, except for the basic battles, my daily life is quite sufficient. There is even a vegetable patch on the ground in the distance, which is really amazing.
It's not that you can't plant them here, it's mainly because the power of the incense is too strong, so most of them won't bear fruit. Their place is no exception, it's just that they can be seen.
Normally speaking, if development continues on this trajectory, then a few thousand years would be enough to rise to the middle level. But now the village is filled with sadness. No matter who it is, their faces are wrinkled together, as if something important has happened.
At this time, a hall was filled with more than twenty people. Although everyone was at the immortal stage or above, everyone looked a little sad. Among them, the head of Haibing Village looked at the people below.
When everyone arrived, he spoke.
"This time I gathered to beat everyone. I'm afraid everyone knows that since yesterday, we have indeed begun to run out of food!"
"Hey, if Ancestral God hadn't been injured during the middle-level mission and hasn't recovered yet, we wouldn't be so embarrassed. Last time, Ancestral God said he would bring us back a batch of supplies and food, but as a result, we usually have some luxury.
Oh, it's our fault." A middle-aged woman below sighed.
"Clan Chief Xin can't be entirely blamed. Our population has been increasing at a rapid rate in the past few years, and half-year-old children eat the most, so they are expected to consume a bit too much." A younger man next to him also said.
Everyone is aware of this situation and has thought about it some time ago, but there is no good solution.
"Don't argue. Fortunately, we still have some emergency food. From now on, each of us will have less activities, lie at home, and eat one meal a day. As long as we survive the past two months, we can get new food next time."
The supplies will be much better then." The eldest son of the Xin tribe said with difficulty.
"But if you want to last for two months, you have to lie down half-ly, otherwise you will starve to death if you move even a little bit. Otherwise, let's go to Kip Village to the east and borrow some first." Someone below suggested.
"I've tried it, and there aren't many of them there. There was a fire some time ago, which was even worse than ours. Fortunately, the other party's population is a little smaller than ours, but the current situation is the same as ours. We're going to lie down and wait.
Here are some supplies." Clan Xin said with a sigh.
You’re not familiar with other villages, and you already know what’s going on around them, and they won’t necessarily lend it to you, so why bother trying to pull that old face.
"Then this time I will go to Nanshui City in advance so that I can get back as soon as possible." The middle-aged woman stood up and said.
"That's all."
There is no other way for everyone, and it is impossible for them to conjure things out of thin air.
"Report to the clan leader, there is a person outside who wants to meet the clan leader." At this time, a soldier walked in from outside and said to the clan leader.
"Let him wait outside! We'll discuss the matter after we finish. If he doesn't want to, let him leave." Chief Xin waved his hand and said with some annoyance.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Patriarch, you'd better go and meet him. He might be the ancestral god of another village. We can't lose our etiquette. Anyway, we have nothing to do now." One of them stood up and blocked the way to go back.
The warrior said to the clan leader.
"Okay, a few of you will accompany me, and the others will pass on the final orders, so that everyone can be mentally prepared to survive our most difficult situation." Chief Xin stood up and said to everyone.
He also knew that those who could move around alone were almost always the presence of ancestral gods. Most people had nothing to do when they went out, and they even went to visit other villages.
Even if he doesn't stop him, he will still stop the warrior.
"yes!"
Chief Xin then led a few elders and walked out of the village. He wanted to see who was looking for him at this time.
You should know that under normal circumstances, they would not interact with each other at all, but they are alone.
When Chief Xin arrived at the entrance of the village, an unusual young man was looking at the nearby scenery with his hands behind his back, looking very limited.
"Young Master, I am the head of the Xin clan here. I don't know why you come to our Haibing Village!" The head of the Xin clan came to the entrance of the village and said to the young master in front of him.
"What a poetic name. I, Gu Zheng, the ancestor god of Xifeng Village, Gu Zheng, came here to visit your village." Gu Zheng smiled slightly and returned to Patriarch Xin.
"Ancient Ancestral God, our Ancestral God is not in the clan, so I'm afraid we won't be able to receive him well. Otherwise, when our clan leader comes back, I will make an announcement?" clan leader Xin said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"Don't bother me. I have something I want to discuss with you. Even if your ancestors are not here, we can discuss it." Gu Zheng heard the intention of rejecting guests and still said with a smile.
"I don't know what happened to the Ancient Ancestor God. Please tell me something!" Chief Xin was also a little confused here and didn't know what to discuss with him.
"Haha, should we just talk here?" Gu Zheng avoided talking about the matter and instead said to him.
"I'm rude, Gu Ancestor God, please come inside and talk!" Seeing this, Chief Xin bent down and made an inviting gesture, and could only invite Gu Zheng in.
Immediately, Gu Zheng followed Patriarch Xin in.
"Did something happen in your village? The atmosphere seems a little wrong." Along the way, Gu Zheng saw many people walking past with gloomy expressions, and the huge village obviously lacked the sounds of children playing and adults talking.
"It's nothing. I'm just here. It's just that our place is small and we don't have anything to entertain you. I'm really sorry." Chief Xin did not answer Gu Zheng's question, but quietly printed out another topic.
"It's okay, I don't care." As they spoke, they came into the large room.
At first glance, the layout of Guzheng is almost the same as that of Xifeng Village, and it is also very simple.
The two of them sat down, and the person next to them quickly brought a glass of water. It was very clear, just a glass of water.
"I don't know what the Ancient Ancestor God needs to discuss with me. You must know that we have nothing here, and there are many things that I cannot make the decision on." Chief Xin said straight to the point.
"Well, this time, I really want to trouble you with something, and you can definitely make the decision." Gu Zhiquan took a sip from the tea cup, but it had no taste at all, and then put it down calmly.
"What is it? Please tell me first before I can decide." Chief Xin looked at Gu Zheng with doubts in his eyes, not knowing what he wanted to do. It was really unpredictable for an ancestor to ask him for help.
"Let me explain first. After listening, please don't be surprised. I didn't mean anything against you. Don't misunderstand me." Gu Zheng first gave him a vaccination.
"But it doesn't matter." Chief Xin became even more confused. He kept guessing what the other party wanted to dare, but he couldn't think of it.
"I want your tribe to conduct an offensive and defensive drill with me, and I will never let your help go in vain." Gu Zheng said sincerely.
"What! Are you going to attack us?" Chief Xin suddenly stood up and said in a slightly off-key voice.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I don't really want to attack your tribe, as I said before, but just to practice. Don't get me wrong." Gu Zheng saw the other party reacting fiercely, and the one next to him even wavered.
His defensive look made him dumbfounded.
I had already told him in advance, but it seemed that they didn't listen to what I just said.
"Anyone would be excited if they heard this." Only then did Chief Xin understand why he had to tell himself in advance to prepare mentally and let his people relax a little. After all, who could attack other tribes so kindly?
"No, absolutely not. If you want to come over, we will suspend the war." Chief Xin shook his head and refused directly.
"Don't be too busy talking about being so deadly. We don't have blessings, and we won't hurt any of you. I promise, I'm just training our warriors. Of course, I won't officially start a war with you." Gu Zheng.
Looking at the other party's serious expression, he quickly said, after all, we still need the other party's cooperation.
"I understand what you mean, but it really can't be done now. Please forgive us for not being able to do anything. Please ask the Ancient Ancestor God to leave here and find the next village." Chief Xin shook his head, even a little rude, and wanted Gu Zheng to leave here.
.
"I see there are some difficulties in your village. If you can, tell me if you have any problems. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." Here Gu Zheng suddenly said.
"We have no difficulty, please leave!" Chief Xin said immediately after hearing this.
"Okay, I'll excuse you all, I'm leaving now!" Gu Zheng sighed regretfully and had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
His village is the closest to him, and the terrain is open, so it can be used as the first touchstone. It is the best.
But the other party is not willing, and I don't want to force the other party, because my side is basically a middle-level team and cannot launch an attack on them. Even if I want to attack by force, I can only be a friendly guest with the consent of the other party.
But Gu Zheng had just taken two steps when other people's voices came from behind him. He was stunned, but he still walked towards Wewai. Their clan leader didn't say anything, and they elders had no decision-making power at all.
"Clan leader!"
Hearing this, the elder in him brightened up and gestured to Chief Xin.
This is the time when they are in difficulty. If there is outside help, then it will not be that difficult for all of them at least. You must know that under such conditions, the probability of newborns dying is too high.
Even adults can starve to death, let alone those who have nothing to do.
Looking at the longing looks in the eyes of the elders around him, how could Chief Xin not know what they were thinking.
Thinking of the children who were waiting for food and the disheveled villagers, when Gu Zheng was about to go out, he finally spoke.
"God Ancestor, please wait a moment. If you can help us solve this problem, I will agree to your terms. Otherwise, there will be no room for negotiation at all."
On the one hand, the group of children, on the other hand, the warriors of their own tribe, finally compromised. After all, if dozens of tribesmen were killed and injured in exchange for the crisis of the entire tribe, it was generally a good deal.
After all, what the other party said is good, but on the battlefield, the sword is ruthless, and no one can follow the other party's imagination.
"Okay, tell me your difficulties, and if possible, I will definitely help you get through it." Gu Zheng stood still, turned around and promised to Chief Xin.
"I need a large amount of food. The more the better. Now our tribe is starting to run out of food. If you don't get it for us, I'm afraid the warriors won't even be able to pick up weapons. Moreover, you have to provide all the food and grass for the warrior's trumpet."
Now that Chief Xin had decided, he told the true situation within the clan.
If he doesn't have a free war in hand, he won't let the other party help anyway. If the other party has evil intentions, then there is really nothing they can do.
"How much do you want?" Gu Zheng said to them with a strange smile on his face.
Chief Xin looked a little strange. He didn't know what Gu Zheng meant.
"At least let our entire tribe have food for half a year. This cannot be any lower!" Originally, Chief Xin wanted another year, but he was worried that he would shock the other party, so after thinking about it, he directly stated his bottom line.
Then he looked at Gu Zheng with some anxiety.
After all, for any tribe, even half a year is not a small matter, but since the other party dares to pull them out to train troops, at least there will be no shortage of food.
"No problem, this is the deposit I gave you. I will send someone to contact you in two days." Gu Zheng took out two bracelets from his arms and flew lightly on the table.
The next moment Gu Zheng's figure disappeared from the room.
"Chief, look at how much the other party has given us. Since the other party has promised us, no matter what, none of us will go hungry this time." The elder next to him said in a somewhat excited tone.
Without it urging him, Patriarch Xin had already picked up the bracelet on the table and looked inside.
"What? Is the other party's deposit a little low?" The person next to him said anxiously as he saw the face of Patriarch Xin changing constantly.
"It shouldn't be. Since the other party gave two, it's better to have some." Another person said in confusion.
"No, it seems that we don't have to worry at all this time. This bracelet contains at least enough supplies for us to open and exchange for a year." Chief Xin said happily.
"That's great, I didn't expect the other party to be so generous." The person next to him said happily.
"I'm talking about just one bracelet, and the other one is filled with more precious materials." Clan Chief Xin's faint words sounded from the side. He himself couldn't believe that the other person was so extravagant.
But he knew that they really didn't have to worry about food.
"Notify everyone to prepare for a sumptuous meal." Chief Xin also said proudly here.
These days, everyone has suffered.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Just when Chief Xin felt that the other party was just sending something to them, the sentry who had been observing outside finally discovered something.
Only a dozen people came towards them from outside, came to their door and shouted loudly.
"I am a subordinate of the ancient ancestor god, and I am here to tell you something."
Chief Xin, who had long been looking forward to it, quickly led his people to greet him.
I only asked for a piece of brown bread, but the other party already gave me several deposits, and also gave me more high-end food. So if the other party paid the balance, wouldn't it be more?
"Welcome, welcome, our soldiers have been waiting for you for a long time." As soon as they came up, Chief Xin welcomed him with a smile.
"The main reason is that we were delayed for some time on the way, otherwise we would have come here long ago and kept the soldiers waiting." Xia Qi also smiled and explained why he came so late.
"It's okay, I don't know how many of you are coming, we can do it here at any time." Chief Xin said after greeting a few words.
At this time, the entire village has returned to normal, and the soldiers are well fed and ready to serve.
"How many warriors can you have here at most?"
Chief Xin looked at a young man behind him and said, and found that Xia Qi had no objection at all, so he said.
"We can now draw up to four thousand qualified warriors."
Xia Qi nodded slightly. This was similar to the result of their previous discussion. After all, in this place where everyone is a soldier, as long as you have the potential to become a warrior, regardless of gender, you will be ready at any time.
"Well, this is just a hard work for you." Xia Qi said, passing a bracelet in his hand, and finally continued.
"These things are not included in the rewards we promised, but are considered subsidies for the soldiers."
"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. Anyway, there's nothing going on now." Patriarch Xin felt the bracelet and couldn't help but smile.
"How many of you are there? Let's just stay not far in front of the village entrance. Anyway, our village has no natural dangers. It's all plains. There is no difference between there and here."
"Yes, we have a total of 60,000 people, but of course we will not come together. We will arrange the number of people. Please treat us as intruders and show no mercy. We will always pay attention to this area and will be pulled out in time if danger arises."
Xia Qi said sincerely.
"What? Sixty thousand people? Are you the whole clan together?" The expression on Chief Xin's face immediately froze, and he turned his head stiffly and said in disbelief.
"Of course not, these are just us soldiers. I forgot to tell you, we are the tribe that is about to go to the middle. This time, the ancestor god pulled out all our soldiers, trained them all the way, and rushed to our station." Xia Qi
Pat your head and tell the other person quickly.
"I want to ask you abruptly, how many people are there in your tribe?" an elder accompanying Haibing Village asked curiously.
"We have a total of more than 300,000 people, and the vast majority of them have only joined in recent years. Of course, everything is the credit of the ancestors." Xia Qi said with admiration in his eyes.
"Of course, my master is the most powerful." Patriarch Xin looked at the young man who had interrupted before and said proudly, no wonder the other man acted so boldly.
"Don't worry, we will never harm your people. We are just training troops." Xia Qi continued here, giving the other party a guarantee.
"Then I will release my blessing and lead the troops there." To be honest, he was worried that he would hurt the other party.
After all, even if the other party is strong, he is still a little weak in front of the warriors who are blessing him. No wonder the other party wants to watch from above.
However, he has short hands and weak tongues, so he said goodbye to them and began to prepare.
