The rays of stars shine between the earth and the mountains. The morning light is warm and comfortable, and today's weather is particularly good.
Early in the morning, a large number of people gathered in front of the stone city wall on the north side of the tribe. Below the city wall were soldiers on the front line.
Above the city wall are tribesmen with their heads poked out and their hearts are confused and nervous.
today……
It is the day when the tribe marched far away!
Although we are not going to fight, we cannot avoid fighting during the process, and there will be many, and there will definitely be casualties.
They collected supplies for the tribe members and hunted monsters. The supplies within a radius of dozens of kilometers were not enough to support all tribe members. They spent the long winter, so the tribe must have teams to expedition!
Go far away, collect supplies, hunt monsters, and bring them back to the tribe.
This will be a team with a large number of people, basically...
It's similar to a small tribe.
The number of people preparing to travel this time was 350!
Among them, there are 20 soldiers from Qiongqi, 30 powerful archers, and 100 front-line soldiers and 100 second-line soldiers.
The remaining 100 people, including men and women, are middle-aged people with good physical fitness, responsible for the logistics of the entire team, materials and post-processing of the corpses of the monsters, and other trivial matters.
In addition, for the monsters, there are Daidai, Dajun, Dakui, and eighty snow-region demon wolves and twenty horses.
Twenty horses were divided into ten groups, each group was assigned a carriage, which was taken care of by special tribe members.
For safety reasons, Ye Qiong also brought two giant crossbows and hid them in two carriages.
Once an emergency occurs, you can directly dismantle the carriage, draw out the giant crossbow, and throw it into the battle.
The long-distance team stood neatly at the entrance of the stone city wall on the north side.
Before leaving, we will conduct traditional sacrificial rituals on Xuexing. Although Ye Qiong does not believe in these things, they are things inherited by our ancestors after all, so we will not interfere with this, but instead feel a little ritualistic...
It's also good. After all, some of the soldiers who went to the war this time may never come back, so for them, it may be a good thing to have such a farewell and blessing ceremony.
Since there is a ceremony, someone naturally needs to speak. Ye Qiong never participates in such a thing, and it is handed over to Ye Tianlong.
After all, professional things must be left to professionals.
Taking advantage of Ye Tianlong's speech, Ye Qiong carefully checked back and forth on several carriages responsible for loading essential supplies for traveling, and confirmed the supplies again.
After all, on Xuexing, the expedition team of hundreds of people actually consumes a lot of supplies and food every day, and they are also responsible for hunting monsters every day.
Therefore, the soldiers' tasks are still very heavy, and there must be material support.
Apart from these supplies, the remaining soldiers and tribe members were all lightly equipped, and when they returned, basically everyone would not be relieved.
After the sacrifice and farewell ceremony ended, Ye Qiong took his tribe members and soldiers to officially embark on the journey.
The tribe is going to hand over to Ye Tianlong and Ye Tianling. Ye Qiong’s current task is to solve the problem of winter food.
Tang Ying was not among the expedition team. Compared with the expedition, the next generation of the tribe is also very important, so Tang Ying will definitely not be able to leave.
In order to maximize efficiency, Ye Qiongtou did not plan to arrange the soldiers to hunt for two days. After all, the monster with a radius of dozens of kilometers was within this month of spring.
They have been hunted by Daidai and Dakui and others. As for the nearby materials, there is no need to rush to collect them. After all, they are around the tribe, so staying for emergency response is actually good.
After all, rabbits do not eat grass by their nests and store the regular supplies around the tribe naturally, which is indeed a good choice.
Ye Qiong rode on his daidae's back and walked in front of the team. Following behind were the soldiers of Rong Ling and Qiongqi, and once the powerful archers and front-line soldiers were on both sides of the team.
The soldiers have rich experience in summer hunting. More than a dozen scouts have been arranged by Ye Qiong. Once there is danger in the entire team, they will warn them as soon as possible.
At noon, Ye Qiong looked back at the large army. The speed of advancement was about eight kilometers per hour, neither fast nor slow.
After a noon trek, the team had arrived at the northern mountain base.
From a distance, I saw the location of the mountain base. The soldiers on the mountain base also saw the tribe's team at the first time.
At first, I was a little confused and nervous, but when I saw Ye Qiong, Daidai, and the two big bears, I knew it was my own tribe, and the soldiers also estimated that the day of traveling was almost here.
So the soldiers on the other side of the high mountain base came down a three-person team and rushed towards Ye Qiong and the others.
As for the soldiers who were traveling far away, they also recorded the location here after seeing the mountain base.
Ye Qiong looked at the mountain base and had a good idea in his mind, so he decided to take the soldiers and tribesmen directly to the northern mountain base.
There is still one afternoon today, and even if you are rushing, you probably won’t be able to go far. It’s better to spend half a day to get the base in the north.
The work efficiency of a team of 350 people and a team of more than 20 people is definitely different.
At night, you can rest at the base here with peace of mind. Continue to march tomorrow morning, and you may encounter many emergencies.
We asked the soldiers to help build a base and let the tribes prepare food and tents for the evening. Everyone divided the work and started working.
If the base here can create some scale when winter comes, then you can continue to station a tribe here.
A distance of 30 kilometers will be very fast as long as it is not a blizzard weather, whether it is reinforcements or the soldiers here retreat.
The tent was first built, surrounded by a mountain base, with about fifty people, all of which are large and small. The larger ones can directly accommodate twenty people, and the smaller ones can also accommodate five people.
Overall, a team of 315 people, with a total of fifty tents, can be easily settled.
In just one afternoon, the construction of the high mountain base seemed to have some scale.
With so many people working together, it is quite lively. The current mountain base is a bit like a coal mine base, where the soldiers live.
With certain fortifications, two stone walls were built directly from the outside.
The height of the first road is five meters, and there is a place in the middle that allows the soldiers to squat down to defend. The height of the second city wall is three meters. On the outside, the distance from the first city wall is fifteen meters. This distance
It can effectively block the monsters attacking outside, and the warriors can launch an attack within the second city wall.
As night fell, soldiers and tribe members who had been busy all afternoon lit the bonfire...
