Lu Yao rolled over and got up at dawn.
Ever since he came into contact with the simulator, he had almost never slept again.
He always had a worry that if he didn’t lose a little attention, the Garlic Tribe could be destroyed by a sudden disaster.
The little tribesmen were too fragile right now.
The winter is too long, the summer is too hot, there is not enough food, foreign enemy invasion, infectious diseases …… each of these could cause a catastrophe for the Garlic Tribe.
Lu Yao poured a cup of instant coffee and began to look down on the small people of the tribe over the coffee.
Today, the tribe s population has reached 311 people, and the faith value has a balance of 270 points.
After surviving the winter, the Garlic Tribe’s food was once again plentiful, with the food stock restored from a warning yellow colour to a healthy green.
In addition, although wood was at the yellow stage of insufficient reserves, its use had slowly spread under the impetus of the 2 carpenters. Tribal thatched huts are also gradually changing in the direction of plank houses.
Spring revived everything and brought a group of uninvited guests.
Five canoes appeared on the east river, they travelled very fast, all the way to the shore.
The canoes were all driven by female pixel villains, with darker skin colours and loose hair, wearing a kind of soft leather armour that covered their entire bodies, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs.
The female pixel villain in the lead had a [Captain] title on her head. Unlike those around her, she wore a helmet made of white bone with many sharp teeth, looking like it came from some kind of large beast.
Since the pixel game itself was not clear, Lu Yao could not tell much more.
The [Captain] spoke from the shore, “You guys! Hand over the strong men! Otherwise you are the enemies of our East River Tribe!”
The other villains shouted after the leader.
“Hand over the men!”
“Men! Men!”
“Send the strong men on board!”
“Or I’ll turn all of you into slaves!”
Lu Yao looked confused.
What about this group of tribal-era carnivorous sisters?
The Prophet and the Shaman had rushed all the way over. Along with them, there were more than thirty hunters armed with bows and arrows, and the two sides confronted each other by the river.
At this time, two monsters suddenly drilled out of the river behind the canoe, and they had the [Sea Monster LV8] symbol on their heads.
The sea monsters were as big as five people together, their bodies were covered in scale armour, they had lizard-like heads and bodies, their mouths were covered in sharp teeth, some of them looked like giant crocodiles that could stand upright.
The two sea monsters ascended the shore step by step.
The hunters of the Garlic Tribe shot arrows, but the bows and arrows seemed to have no effect on the scaly armour of the sea monsters, and they couldn’t hurt them at all.
Smiley symbols appeared on the heads of the little people of the East River Tribe.
“Sea monsters are impervious to swords and spears!”
“You are too weak!”
The female captain said, “We keep many sea monsters ready to destroy your tribe. But you have many strong men that the East River Tribe loves, hand over the men and we will protect you.”
The other East River Tribe villains also said.
“Weak tribe, offer up men! Strong men!”
“Don’t be ungrateful!”
“Come on, hurry up and hand over the men. Or else you’ll be sold as slaves!”
Lu Yao took a sip of coffee.
This was not a very good thing to do.
He could certainly use lightning to split the two sea monsters. But this way would not solve the immediate crisis, instead it would further turn the East River Tribe into an enemy.
The Garlic Tribe didn’t have the ability or technology to build boats and simply couldn’t set foot in the depths of the river, and the East River Tribe could say that they could come and go whenever they wanted.
In terms of technological configuration, the East River Tribe could build canoes, had bows and arrows, had tribal-specific clothing, and had some of the beginnings of slavery. They would also raise sea monsters, and their level of civilisation was not low.
Lu Yao thought that the threat of the female captain was more of a deterrent.
If the East River Tribe could really eat the entire Garlic Tribe, they wouldn’t even need to bluff, they would just attack directly and turn everyone into slaves.
The pixel world in the God Simulator is different from the real world, where there are gods, apostles, fires of faith, and monsters …… Pixel Little People have a special way of evolution that can t be assessed according to established human history.
Lu Yao decided to wait first.
Let s see how the Garlic Tribe is going to handle this crisis.
They always have to learn to cope with trouble on their own, and they can t turn to themselves as a god for everything. If he couldn’t, he would call Isabelle over again.
The prophet and the shaman discussed for a while.
“We are willing to give you five men, and that is the maximum that will not affect the tribe.”
“But the East River Tribe can’t attack the Garlic Tribe, and we have to make sure the rivers around us are safe.”
The female captain agreed readily.
“The East River Tribe will protect you, weak men.”
“Send the men over quickly! Be strong and good looking!”
The Garlic Tribe deliberated internally, and the Prophet offered to select the men by lottery, and eventually five tribal men were chosen and sent to the canoe.
Thus, the first contact and conflict between the Garlic Tribe and the East River Tribe resulted in the Garlic Tribe sending 5 men to make peace.
With the departure of the East River Tribe, the boundary of the river expanded further to the east. A floating island made of wooden boats appeared on the surface of the water, which was one of the East River Tribe’s settlements.
Lu Yao locked his viewpoint over the East River Tribe and carefully observed it.
The East River Tribe was a typical matriarchal clan, the vast majority of which were female, with an estimated number of hundreds, and their supreme leader was called [Grandmother], a female elder.
Their dialogue revealed that the origin of the East River Tribe was the large clan “East Sea Clan”.
The East Sea Clan lives further east on the vast East Sea and controls a large area of the sea.
A number of years ago, the East Sea Clan split into a side line that travelled all the way west to the East River, which is the East River Tribe. The East River Tribe used the wide flowing East River as their territory, and most of their food was fish, shrimp and aquatic plants in the water. Occasionally, they would sail their boats onto the land and use their bows and arrows to hunt wild animals and birds of prey.
The East River tribes possessed a strategic weapon, the sea monster. The sea monsters were usually underwater and would only surface when called by the East River Tribe.
What concerned Lu Yao was that in the East River Tribe, he saw the figure of the Salt Pond Tribe villain.
This group of tribal traders and the East River Tribe also did business.
They brought salt, bows and arrows and wood in their canoes and traded with the East River Tribe for fish.
Lu Yao focused on the five male pixel villains ceded by the Garlic Tribe.
They were assigned to several female captains and turned into their mates. These men of the Garlic Tribe did almost nothing and spent their days hanging out on the boat island.
It wouldn’t be accurate to say that.
They had their own obligations to fulfil.
The women of the East River Tribe would grab them into the boathouse, and when they came out the men would emerge with a weak look on their heads.
The women captains seemed to take this tribal sharing of men in stride.
It was a custom of the East River tribes.
Since there were too few men, they were turned into manpower available to the entire tribe. The ownership of the men, however, was in the hands of the female captains.
The East River Tribe cherished the outlandish men, but were very cruel to the outlandish women.
They went out in their canoes and occasionally captured some women. Usually the East River Tribe would make these female slaves do hard work, such as cleaning the boat islands, carrying wood, and handling fish and food.
If the female slaves were sick or injured, they would be thrown into the water and fed to the sea monsters as food.
