The ships that appeared around this time must be tribes that lost their islands.
They have lost their land, so they won't give up easily on any island they encounter.
The visitor didn't wait to run to Kent and shouted loudly, "Chief, a big ship has appeared on the sea and has circled around the island."
"where are you now?"
"Eastern Sea"
Uncle Kent did not hesitate, "Immediately notify the hunting team to bring the best weapons and rush to the east beach. Let the tribesmen hide first."
After saying that, he seemed to be in a daze. He said in a more serious tone, "Go now!"
Then he turned to Karl, who had been following him, and said, "Go get the chain armor from home and tell Barrow to put it on too."
Karl got up and ran directly home.
When Lynn followed Kent and the others to the beach, he saw a two-masted ship slightly smaller than the Hammer parked on the sea in the distance.
Captain Barrow and his people have already rushed over from the tribe,
Bjorn actually followed Karl and ran over, holding a pair of exquisite chain armor and carefully handing it to Kent.
He smiled and said: "I am also a warrior."
Kent glared at him fiercely but did not drive him away. "Stand behind with Lynn."
Bjorn immediately ran to Linn with excitement on his face and asked in a low voice, "Is there going to be a war?"
"not sure for now,"
"Where did that set of chain armor come from?" Linn had never seen Kent wearing iron armor. In the past, the best among all tribe warriors was leather armor.
"That's a treasure that my father snatched away. He usually hides it very strictly! He doesn't even allow me to wear it and play with it." Bjorn curled his lips, very disdainful of Kent's stinginess.
I hid it just to guard against you, Lin En smiled, and based on his observation of the tribe's blacksmith skills, it might be okay to make some war hammers and battle axes, but chain armor is absolutely impossible, it is too cumbersome.
At this time, the big ship parked on the sea moved. He slowly let a small boat down, and the two people took the small boat and rowed to the shore.
All the warriors in the tribe gathered on the beach at this time, with battle axes, hammers, shields and spears, all well armed and ready.
Kent and Barrow stood at the front in full chainmail, their eyes fixed on the approaching boat.
Before the boat docked, the people on board raised their hands and shouted loudly, "We don't bring weapons, we only come with good intentions!"
Captain Kent took a step forward and said in a high voice: "Speak to your purpose of coming and don't do anything confusing, otherwise I guarantee you will not be able to come back alive!"
The person who came was a strong man in his prime. He said with a smile on his face:
"I am Victor, the leader of the Thunder Wolf Tribe. Our island is sinking too fast. There is insufficient fresh water reserve on the ship. I hope to get supplies here."
"This island belongs to our Hammer Tribe. Every leaf and drop of water on the island belongs to us. Why should I give it to you?"
"So we are willing to pay some material exchange."
"It depends on what you can pay." Captain Kent shook the battle ax in his hand.
"One hundred pounds of iron, change enough water"
"Not enough, three hundred kilograms of iron."
Iron, like food and water, is the universal currency of this world. Only with iron can we build weapons and armor!
Victor looked embarrassed, "That's too much, we can't provide that much."
"That's your problem. You want water? You can only get iron in exchange!" Kent refused to give in.
Bjorn beside him whispered to Linn:
"It's just some water. Just give it to them. We don't lack it."
Lin En looked at him and said, "It's not that simple. How do you know if they are really short of water?"
Bjorn was stunned and said, "You mean, they have other purposes?"
"Not necessarily. When we decide whether to hunt a prey, don't we also need to first observe whether its claws and teeth are sharp?"
"So, are they here to steal our prey?" Bjorn's expression changed and he looked at Victor with the eyes of an enemy.
Lin En was stunned when he heard this, looked at him hatefully, turned away, and decided not to explain to him anymore.
Kent seemed to understand Victor's dilemma and said lightly, "If the iron is not enough, it can also be a weapon of the same weight."
Victor's expression changed, "That's absolutely impossible. Without weapons, our entire clan will die."
"I can take another step back. One hundred pounds of iron plus one hundred pounds of weapons. This is my bottom line." After Kent finished speaking, he looked at Victor firmly.
"You have to know that I am not short of iron, and I am not short of fresh water. Now you need water to save your life, so of course you have to pay a sufficient price."
After hesitating for a while, Victor reluctantly nodded and agreed, "You are right, we agree."
"Then now, you can let your people come over. The maximum number is twenty. They cannot bring weapons. Your sail must disappear on the sea before dark."
Victor and the two rowed away, and soon returned with twenty people on two long boats.
As the group of people approached, Lin En also saw their appearance clearly. Their lips were chapped, their hair was as dry as dead grass in autumn, their skin was so dry that it was beginning to shed, and even their eyes were dry and red due to lack of water.
Bjorn next to him breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that they are indeed short of water and are not trying to grab food."
Lin En glanced at him and said with a smile, "Maybe they are not only short of water, but also short of food!"
Bjorn suddenly understood, and then continued to look at Victor and others with the eyes of enemies.
Kent looked at the iron ingots and weapons that Victor brought, including axes and hammers, made a rough estimate, turned to Barrow and said, "Barrow, take someone to get water for them."
The warriors of the Thunder Wolf Tribe licked their chapped lips and paced back and forth anxiously.
After hearing this, he quickly brought down more than twenty large oak barrels from the ship.
They are really big wooden barrels, each one can be as high as the chest. Considering their thickness, it will not be a problem to hold five to six hundred kilograms of water.
Victor and these strong men, carrying barrels on their backs, followed Barrow towards the river.
Kent walked to Linn and said, "Don't worry, this happens several times every year at this time."
"Uncle Kent, will they take over our island?"
"No, it's just summer now, and there are countless islands appearing on the sea every day. There is no need for them to take risks at this time."
"Moreover, as long as you see the trees on the island, you will know that this is an old island that is four years old. There are very few islands in Fenris that can exist for such a long time. Our island does not have long left!"
Lin En was stunned when he heard this, "So the trees on our island are very valuable, right?"
Kent was stunned when he heard this. Yes, the iron tree on our island is originally excellent wood, and it has been growing for so many years. It is rare in Fenris.
This isn't an iron tree, it's just a money tree!
Thinking of the excitement, Kent kicked the iron ingot away and stared closely at Victor and his group.
