Lan Ling hadn't expected that there would be an expert like Gangtuo among the refugees who came to seek refuge on the first day. He had already become a ten star great devil warrior ten years ago, only half a step away from being a MCMAU grandmaster.
This person had once been the highest hunting chief of a human tribe in the Wildlands of the north, with over a thousand soldiers under his command.
Now, there were two MCMAU grandmasters in Lan Ling's Flame Imp Tribe.
Suo Mo was a peak MCMAU grandmaster, and Duoduo was a four star MCMAU grandmaster. Doron and Gangtuo were both peak great devil warriors.
Currently, Lan Ling was the chief of the entire Flame Imp Tribe, Suo Mo was the First Elder, and Duoduo was the Second Elder.
They had looted nearly two thousand warhorses from the Chimera Tribe, enough to form a thousand cavalry.
Although the entire Wildlands had deep mountains and ancient forests, most of the tribes were built on open land, more suitable for cavalry to fight.
Lan Ling called Doron and Gangtuo over.
"Between the two of you, who is more skilled?" Lan Ling asked.
Doron said, "Pure martial strength is about the same, but if we fight, I will most likely lose."
Gangtuo said, "I have more experience, Brother Doron is braver."
Lan Ling said, "Doron, you were the cavalry chief in the Wildhorse Tribe, in charge of three thousand cavalry, right?"
"Yes!" Doron said.
Lan Ling said, "When Gangtuo was in the Wildlands of the north, he was the hunting chief of the tribe, and also the cavalry chief, in charge of a thousand cavalry, right?"
Gangtuo said, "It's a thousand people, not a thousand cavalry. Our tribe is small, and we don't have that many cavalry."
Lan Ling said, "We have two thousand warhorses, to form a thousand cavalry. I plan to choose one of you as the first thousand-man commander of the Flame Imp Tribe."
Gangtuo was taken aback, "I'm not suitable, I just arrived, I'll be Brother Doron's assistant."
Originally, Doron didn't want to pass on the responsibility, feeling that he had once commanded three thousand cavalry, and could be considered to have shared weal and woe with the Flame Imp Tribe for several months. Gangtuo's words made him feel embarrassed.
Lan Ling didn't pay attention to Gangtuo's words. He didn't even say anything about being fair and just here, nor did he care about seniority. He said directly, "From now on, there will be even more people coming to join our Flame Demon Tribe. I will give each of you five hundred cavalrymen a month to train. Just a month!"
If they were in a human kingdom, it would be impossible to train a cavalry from scratch in a month.
But in this Savage World, there were too many wild horses. Almost every barbarian knew how to ride a horse.
Moreover, these refugees were the strongest and most valiant people who could escape from the Wilderness of the North. Many of them used to be cavalrymen, so even though a month's time was a little rushed, they were still able to survive. However, as long as the population was sufficient, it would not be difficult to select a cavalry of a thousand men.
"One month from now, the two of you will lead five hundred cavalrymen to compete in martial arts. Whoever wins will become a chiliarch," Lan Ling said.
"How are we going to compete? What are we competing in? "Doron asked.
"What do you think our tribe lacks right now?" Lan Ling asked.
Doron said, "Grain and cloth!"
These two things were indeed very lacking. Because apart from fish, everything else depended on gathering. At this time, the various starchy berries and wild grain outside had not ripened yet. As for cloth, there was a lot of wild flax growing outside, but it was not harvest season yet.
Therefore, these two things had always been very lacking.
Gangtuo said, "Iron!"
Lan Ling said, "Grain, cloth, iron, these three things are very lacking. But what we lack the most is still iron! "
Doron could not help but scratch his head. In that battle just now, he had lost in terms of experience.
Lan Ling said, "If we don't have enough grain, we can eat fish and wild vegetables to fill our stomachs. If we don't have enough cloth, we can use beast skins. And most importantly, we killed twenty to thirty thousand enemies. Their clothes can be completely worn if they are stripped off. As for weapons, we don't lack any, because the twenty to thirty thousand enemies who died had all kinds of weapons on them. We lack iron because we don't even have city gates! "
Doron slapped his head again. Look at how stupid he was.
Because they did not have enough iron to forge city gates, the city walls of the Flame Imp tribe were sealed, and they had to climb up using ladders. In the long run, how could they survive without a city gate?
Lan Ling said, "Also, we will rapidly expand in the future. Not only will we need weapons, we will also need armor and heavy siege weapons, all of which require iron. Therefore, a month later, I will lead you to rob. We will rob the enemy's iron, grain and cloth, but mainly the iron, especially the iron mine of the Chimera tribe. We must obtain it. At that time, each of you will have five hundred cavalry. Whoever can rob more and kill more enemies will win, and that person will be the leader of my cavalry! "
"Good!" Doron was overjoyed. This competition was very exciting.
Robbing, how cool would that be!
And Gangtuo's face was also red, appearing very excited and full of energy.
Lan Ling said, "Then it's settled, you can leave!"
"Yes!"
The two left.
… …
Next, Lan Ling met the former chief of the Wild Horse tribe, Duo Duo, who was now the second elder of the Flame Imp tribe.
"Chief!"
Duo Duo saluted him meticulously.
Lan Ling said, "Elder Duo Duo, we will soon face a period of rapid expansion. Every day, many exiles will come to seek refuge. Just eating fish is not enough, we also need to eat meat, so I want you to bring a few dozen berserkers. Also, pick the strongest archers of the tribe to hunt, and hunt enough meat. "
Duo Duo said, "Yes!"
Duo Ning suddenly asked, "Chief, will we only hunt in the Flame Imp tribe, or …"
Lan Ling said, "Only hunt in the territories of the Chimera tribe and the Akara tribe. If there are any conflicts, kill them all if you can win, and report back if you can't. I will ride the griffin over and kill them all!"
Duo Duo said excitedly, "Good!"
For some reason, Duo Duo was originally a chief, but now he had to submit to someone else. He thought it would be awkward, uncomfortable, or even sullen.
Unexpectedly, that was not the case. Following Lan Ling to do things was really satisfying.
… …
After Duo Duo left, the human girl Ah Mo walked in and said, "Greetings, Chief!"
"How many women are there in our tribe right now?" Lan Ling asked.
"Three hundred and seventy-six!" Ah Mo gave the most accurate number.
Lan Ling sighed, "It's still too little."
Ah Mo found it strange. Wasn't it better to have more men in the tribe? Women were seen as a burden.
Lan Ling said, "I want to give each of my brothers a wife."
Ah Mo said, "Then send me to Brother Suo Mo first."
This woman was really bold.
Lan Ling said, "I also want to, but I listen to Uncle when it comes to personal matters, not the other way around. Still, I will try my best."
Then Lan Ling said, "In the next few days, the three hundred of you will need to wash twenty to thirty thousand pieces of clothing. That's right, they are clothes taken from the dead. You will also need to gather wild vegetables in the Mirror Mountain range, cook for everyone, clean the tribe, and educate the new women. Is there a problem? "
Ah Mo said, "No, it's too easy. But there's a problem. There will be more and more people joining the tribe, and our wild vegetables are far from enough. Women can't go far to gather them, that would be dangerous, and we can't let the soldiers do it. That's too wasteful. "
This Ah Mo was very knowledgeable. Everyone in the Flame Demon tribe was precious, especially the strong men. They trained for four hours a day and worked for ten hours a day.
After the war, the tide of construction could not be slowed down. Instead, it increased.
Also, the brothers could not just eat meat every day. They had to eat vegetables.
Lan Ling nodded. "I understand. I will take care of it. I will definitely provide enough vegetables for the entire tribe!"
"Yes!" Ah Mo said.
… …
The next person to be received by Lan Ling was called Muchi.
He was the disabled veteran who had made a bunch of toys for the little girl. He had followed Suo Mo for many years.
He had never thought that a disabled person like him could also become an official and take charge of the Carefree Battalion!
The so-called Carefree Battalion was in the Flame Demon tribe. No matter if you were old, injured, or disabled, you couldn't help but worry. Because the tribe wouldn't abandon you. They would still let you live a carefree life.
And in reality, this was also the case. The disabled people of the Flame Demon tribe ate, wore, and lived the same as everyone else. In order to take care of them, the places they lived were even slightly more convenient.
However, after all the old brothers of the Carefree Battalion became disabled, in order not to become the tribe's burden, they all desperately learned all kinds of skills and continued to shine for the tribe.
Now, the entire Carefree Battalion had become a workshop.
They made bows and arrows for the tribe, and made furniture and so on.
"Muchi, you guys will have to work hard from now on. Not only can you not stop making bows and arrows, but you also have to make more furniture because our tribe will have more and more people. Also, I have a mission for you," Lan Ling said.
Muchi patted his chest and said, "Just say it, Chief. We are all very idle!"
The disabled veterans of the Carefree Battalion worked more than thirteen hours a day. How could they be idle?
Lan Ling said, "In two months, the wild flax will be harvested. I've designed a kind of loom that can increase the speed of weaving by many times. However, I'm not sure if the loom I've designed is correct, so I need you guys to continuously experiment and explore after you build it! "
Then, Lan Ling took out a few pieces of parchment.
Fortunately, he had a heaven-defying brain, which allowed him to find fragmented information from Earth's memories and design the world's most advanced wooden loom.
Moreover, as he had said, he didn't know if it was completely correct, so he had to continuously explore and advance.
Muchi took it and looked at the densely packed blueprints.
He had already started to accept things like blueprints, because this was already the fifth time he had received blueprints from Lan Ling. After Lan Ling's teaching, he could already understand these relatively simple blueprints.
In the future, Lan Ling would transform the Carefree Battalion into a craftsman camp. Making the loom was only the first step. Next, he would have to make siege weapons, giant crossbows, and all kinds of catapults.
As for cannons and gunpowder, Lan Ling had searched hundreds of miles and hadn't found any nitrate ore. Perhaps he would have to go out to sea to search.
In fact, Lan Ling didn't plan to make gunpowder available for a long time, because it might expose his identity and attract the attention of the Dragon Temple.
…
On the first night after the battle, Lan Ling and Suo Mo didn't sleep at all.
There were too many things to do, and too much work needed to be arranged.
The next day, the sky had just brightened.
The entire Flame Demon Tribe was bustling with activity again.
There were training soldiers, cooking, gathering, building houses, and making furniture.
Moreover, there were five hundred people going to the huge pit of death to retrieve the corpses, strip off their clothes, take their weapons, and dig out their gold and silver.
Apart from the corpses, everything on them was the Flame Demon Tribe's property.
Even their corpses were the tribe's property.
This was because Lan Ling would bury all the corpses together. After filling up the ground, it would become the Flame Demon Tribe's first experimental field, where vegetables, fruits, and grains would be planted.
As for whether it would be horrifying or disgusting?
It didn't matter. Grains, vegetables, and fruits were the most important. He hoped that after the corpses decomposed, the soil would become more fertile.
After arranging the work, Lan Ling brought Duo Ning and five Gryphon Warriors to the seaside.
There was only one goal: to solve the tribe's vegetable problem.
When he landed in the southern wilderness, he remembered that the reefs by the seaside were covered in kelp and seaweed.
There were kelp and seaweed on Earth, and there were also kelp and seaweed here.
An hour later, the unmanned Gryphon landed on the reefs by the seaside.
As expected, there were countless kelp and seaweed here!
"Chief, can this be eaten?" Duo Ning shivered.
For some reason, she felt that the kelp and seaweed on the reefs were like dead people's hair.
Lan Ling tore off a piece of kelp and stuffed it into her mouth.
"What are you doing?" Duo Ning said angrily.
Then, she chewed a few mouthfuls.
She found that this thing was tender and crispy, with a natural saltiness. It actually tasted pretty good.
"Start harvesting!" Lan Ling ordered. "Today, you will make five trips back and forth, each trip 500 kilograms. After harvesting, you will be exposed to the sun. After drying, you can soak it in water if you want to eat it! "
Just like that, the dignified Gryphon Warriors became Kelp Knights and Seaweed Knights.
Including Lan Ling himself, they all began harvesting kelp and seaweed.
…
At noon, the Flame Demon Tribe started eating.
Today, apart from fish, meat, millet, and rice, there was another dish.
It was a dish he didn't recognize, kelp bone broth.
"Delicious, a little fishy. It's like eating vegetables, but also like eating meat."
"Delicious, it's very fresh!"
"Heavens, every meal is so full and delicious. What a sin, what a sin!"
"Isn't that so? Previously, I couldn't stand the hunger, so I ate tree bark and leaves. Look at what I'm eating now, it's like a dream. "
"Long live the Chief, long live the Flame Demon Tribe!"
…
On the first day, over a thousand people came to join the Flame Demon Tribe.
On the second day, only over a hundred people came.
On the third day, over 200 people.
On the fourth day, over 200 people.
On the fifth day, it suddenly exploded. Over 500 people.
Following that, more and more exiles came to join the Flame Demon Tribe every day.
On the tenth day, it broke through a thousand people once again!
Seventeen days later!
The population of the Flame Demon Tribe directly broke through 10,000 people!
Moreover, there was an endless stream of people coming to join every day!
Most of them were close to humans, and a small portion were native barbarians who had no home to return to.
These native barbarians were all exterminated by the Rakshasa tribe and lost their own tribes. When they came to join the Flame Demon Tribe, they were still uneasy, worried that they would become lowly beings worse than slaves.
Unexpectedly, after coming to the Flame Demon Tribe, their food, clothing, and living conditions were exactly the same as the others.
Moreover, because they were strong and fast, they became treasures, being chosen by hunting parties and cavalry teams.
In these twenty days, they went through reorganization again and again.
The Flame Demon Tribe now had a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantrymen, a total of four thousand soldiers.
Although it couldn't compare to the tribes of the Silver Alliance, at least compared to the current Chimera tribe and Akara tribe, their military strength was already not weak.
And this was just the beginning. Many exiles came to join them every day, and the Flame Demon Tribe was practically growing stronger every day.
…
Everyone in the Flame Demon Tribe was very busy.
There was only one exception — the prisoner Gou Li!
As Constantine's first wife, Lan Ling didn't let her go, nor did he beat her. He didn't even force her to work.
Lan Ling had slept with her twice, but after coming to the Flame Demon Tribe, Lan Ling hadn't touched her even once.
Gou Li fell into deep thought as she looked at the Flame Demon Tribe, which was busy and growing stronger every day.
She had to make a choice. Otherwise, she would have nowhere to go, unless she was willing to die.
Obviously, she didn't want to die!
Then could she still return to the Chimera tribe?
Without a doubt, she couldn't. Constantine couldn't tolerate her, and the people of the Chimera tribe couldn't tolerate her either.
Then, where should she go?
Moreover, after being fucked by Lan Ling twice, her body seemed to have been poisoned.
That anxiety, that emptiness, that endless desire … it was really hard to endure.
Under such circumstances, on the twenty-first day!
Lan Ling finally managed to lie down and fall asleep. In the end, a naked body climbed onto his bed.
She kissed his mouth with her hot lips and rode his waist.
It was Gou Li. How had she been released?
"I want to join the Flame Demon Tribe!" Gou Li panted. "I want to become your woman, I'll let you see my value!"
