Zhao Hai didn’t idle around either. He immediately wrote a letter to Weyers, telling him that he had rescued the second and third princesses and that they were safe. He also told Weyers about King Siqi’s trap, so that he could give up on King Siqi.
After that, Zhao Hai patiently waited for Weyers ‘reply. He needed to confirm Weyers’ situation and see what he needed.
Soon, Weyers “reply arrived. He also brought back the six interspatial bags. This time, other than food, Weyers also mentioned a few things he needed urgently. He also told Zhao Hai about his situation with the Mastiff tribe.
This time, the herculean divine ox tribe had truly suffered a miserable defeat. One had to know that the herculean divine ox tribe had once been a large tribe with over a million people and 300000 soldiers at their disposal. Now, less than 500000 people had escaped, while they still had 200000 soldiers at their disposal.
When the bullfighting tribe attacked the herculean divine bull tribe, the herculean divine bull tribe was quickly defeated because they didn’t have a unified command. During the process of defeat, the young and strong ran faster. Many of the old and weak didn’t manage to escape.
Currently, these 500000 people were all living in the territory of the Mastiff clan. Fortunately, there were still people from the herculean divine ox clan joining them from time to time. Although the people from the herculean divine ox clan had lost miserably this time, they still had their fighting strength and were able to fight to the death.
After Weyers returned to the territory of the herculean divine ox clan, he naturally took over the position of the clan leader. He was not ostracized at all. He even took out gaethyr’s weapon and told the clan that gaethyr had been executed as a traitor.
The most important thing was that he had brought back food. This food was life-saving food, and it immediately calmed the hearts of the people in the clan. It could be said that this food played a crucial role in his succession as the clan leader.
At the same time, Weyers told Zhao Hai some good news. The juice of the devil peach and the life fluid that Zhao Hai had given Weyers were very useful. The great elder’s injuries had already recovered. Not only had he recovered, but he also showed signs of breaking through. Once he broke through, his strength would rise to another level.
Of course, this breakthrough didn’t mean that it was impossible to break through from the ninth-level to the tenth-level all at once. There were three, six, and nine ranks for ninth-level powerhouses, and there were nine levels in total. The elder had only been at the third level of the ninth-level before, but with this breakthrough, he could possibly reach the fifth level of the ninth-level. To ninth-level powerhouses, breaking through two levels in one go was definitely a miracle.
Zhao Hai had never thought that the peach juice and life fluid would have such an effect. He was truly shocked. However, it was good that he had broken through. This way, Weyers could plan a counterattack.
Zhao Hai quickly prepared all the items Weyers needed and sent them over. This time, he used five spatial bags to store food, while the remaining spatial bag was filled with daily necessities.
During these busy days, Zhao Hai’s grain team came to King XI Qi’s camp for the third time. This time, besides food, they also brought many things that the bullfighting race had asked him to buy. With these things, Zhao Hai’s status in King XI Qi’s Camp Rose by a lot. He had become one of the most popular people here.
In this way, Zhao Hai had collected a lot of information about the head of the bullfighting race. King XI Qi was very concerned about the news about the head of the bullfighting race. Although King XI Qi looked like he wanted to join the bullfighting race, he didn’t say it clearly. He didn’t send anyone to contact the head of the bullfighting race either. Therefore, the people in King XI Qi’s camp were a little afraid. They didn’t know what their fate would be.
It was this kind of fear that made the people in King XI Qi’s camp pay close attention to the situation with the bullfighting clan’s patriarch. They were afraid that the bullfighting clan’s patriarch would attack at any time.
However, they also knew that this was unlikely. At this time, not only did they need to prepare for winter pastures, but they also needed to prepare for the bullfighting clan’s patriarch. In fact, they needed to prepare even more.
In addition, winter wasn’t the time for orcs to mobilize their troops. Apart from a few special races, very few races liked to mobilize their troops in winter. But that fear still existed, so there were many rumors in the camp about the situation with the bullfighting tribe’s chief. It was hard to distinguish between the truth and the lies.
However, Zhao Hai managed to come to two conclusions from these rumors. One was that the bullfighting tribe had enslaved all the remaining members of the herculean divine bull tribe. The total number of people had reached an astonishing 300000. The second was that the humans who had cooperated with the bullfighting tribe were no longer part of the bullfighting tribe. There were two explanations for where the humans had gone. One was that the bullfighting tribe had driven them away, and the other was that the humans had been killed by the patriarch of the bullfighting tribe. Zhao Hai was inclined to believe the first explanation.
But no matter which one it was, it all pointed to one problem. The bullfighting tribe’s helper was gone. As long as the bullfighting tribe’s helper was gone, Weyers ‘chances of success would be much higher.
Zhao Hai immediately relayed the information to Wales. He hoped that Wales could prepare for the counterattack as soon as possible. It was almost winter, and even if they wanted to counterattack during the winter, time was of the essence. War was not that simple.
Although there were rumors flying around King XI Qi’s camp, the overall situation was still okay. Especially with the food that Zhao Hai sent them, King XI Qi had enough food for the winter. Although he lost 5000 people, people still had smiles on their faces.
It had been more than twenty days since Zhao Hai arrived at King XI Qi’s camp. In about ten days, he would be able to leave. At this time, another caravan suddenly arrived at King XI Qi’s camp.
This caravan had a cooperative relationship with King XI Qi for a long time. This time, they didn’t come to deliver food to King XI Qi, but to deliver some living supplies.
Unlike Zhao Hai and the others who were unscrupulous grassland merchants, the merchants who came to deliver goods to King XI Qi were pure grassland merchants. Pure grassland merchants would not send food to big tribes when winter was coming because it was too easy to be robbed. It was not safe to go back. Moreover, big tribes would usually prepare food for winter about two months before winter, so it was risky to transport food to the grassland at this time. It was also easy for the orcs to lower the price.
At that time, the pure merchants of the grasslands would usually bring some living supplies into the grasslands. This was an essential thing in the grasslands and the price would not be lowered. To those small tribes, these things were not as attractive as food.
What the caravan didn’t expect was that they would see another caravan in King Sichi’s camp, and this caravan was mainly producing food.
The manager of the trade caravan had come into contact with Zhao Hai twice, but he realized that Zhao Hai and the others didn’t like to interact with him. So, he stopped fighting Zhao Hai and the others. Instead, he used his connections in King Siqi’s camp to understand Zhao Hai and the others.
This information shocked the merchant. He didn’t think that Zhao Hai would make a deal of over ten million catties of grain with King XI Qi. This was definitely not a small amount for a merchant. This made him even more concerned about Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai was also very concerned about this merchant. The merchant claimed to be from the Arkas Empire and his name was Ebel. However, he was not from the Versailles Duchy. He came to the orc Plains from the territory of the EKSA family.
Laura knew a little about the icksa family. It was a family on the west side of the Versailles Duchy. They were neighbors with the Versailles Duchy, and their territory was also adjacent to the beastmen Plains. They were an important passage for another human to smuggle into the beastmen Plains.
This Ebel was the most famous grain merchant and daily necessities merchant in the territory of the icksa family. However, Laura didn’t know that this Ebel was related to King Sichi
