A sharp intake of breath suddenly sounded inside the Teepee as they imagined the scene.


    In their minds, they pictured arge piece of Animal Hide covering them and then catching fire, which would be horrendously painful.


    “Shaman, your method is feasible. They will suffer significant losses before the war even begins.” Yan Jiao immediately saw the advantage.


    Qing Yan excitedly touched the green horn on his forehead and said, “If that’s the case, even if we have fewer people than them, we still have a good chance of winning.”


    “What we need is to ensure victory. This n to reim our Ancestral Land cannot fail.” Su Bai said. If they lost this time, there would not be a second chance, so they had to win the first battle.


    “Shaman, ording to what Ye Jiu and the others said, the enemy has over two thousand people. I’m afraid a single piece of Animal Hide might not be enough for us to gain the upper hand immediately,” Yue roughly understood the situation of the ck Snake Tribe.


    This was also her initial concern – the enemy had more people and considerable strength, while their side had far fewer people.


    “Moreover, I’ve heard that the ck Snake Tribe has many ves. They might send the ves to charge first to deplete our stamina.” Yan Jiao understood the battlefield situation as well.


    That was how the ck Snake Tribe ambushed the me Dragon Tribe before – they sent arge wave of ves to charge in first.When the situation became chaotic, their Totem Warriors would enter the battlefield, easily gaining a significant advantage.


    “If that’s the case, then the burning Beast Hide will first cover the ves, and our n might…” Qing Yan worried.


    “Indeed, one piece ofrge Animal Hide might not be enough to severely damage the enemy. But what if they lose these four hundred ves?” Su Bai said with a slight smile.


    Yan Jiao and the others were stunned again, thinking they had misheard. So, Yang Jiao asked, “Shaman, but… wouldn’t it be difficult to convert the ves?”


    They all knew that ves ate meat for survival and had the protection of the Tribe, so they would not leave so easily.


    “I’ve assigned this task to Ah Ruo, so don’t worry.” Su Bai said, crossing his hands.


    Cang Shi rolled his purple eyes and asked in surprise, “Shaman, when you asked me the other day if the Tribe had enough meat, was it because…”


    He dared not imagine, [Is the Tribe really going to take in over four hundred ves? That’s crazy.].


    The ck Snake Tribe alone had over four hundred ves, more than the entire me Dragon Tribe poption. It sounded like a fantasy.


    “Yes, I want to bring them into our Tribe,” Su Bai straightforwardly said.


    Yan Jiao paused for a moment, then nodded, “This way, our Tribe’s poption will indeed increase, and the Tribe will grow stronger. However, Shaman, we might not have enough food.”


    He supported Su Bai’s decision, as relying solely on childbirth to expand the Tribe was unrealistic.


    How many years would it take? How many babies would need to be born each day? How long would it take for the me Dragon Tribe to be a Large Tribe?


    The most direct approach was to ept outsiders, just like they did with Ye Jiu and the others, to quickly expand the Tribe.


    Su Bai was somewhat surprised that the Chieftain did not object to this n at all, knowing that a Chieftain would typically prioritise the Tribe’s safety.


    Heposed himself and exined, “The Spotted Deer Tribe is ourrgest granary. We can exchange for more dried meat from them.”


    “Granary?” Yan Jiao heard another unfamiliar term, then continued, “Shaman, we’re already weaving linen cloth as fast as we can. Ny rolls is the maximum, and I’m afraid we can’t go any faster.”


    Currently, the amount of linen cloth woven in the Tribe was just enough for each exchange with the Spotted Deer Tribe.


    The first batch would be sent out to be delivered, and they would already start weaving the second batch. By the time the group that delivers the first batch returns, the second batch would just be finished in time.


    This cycle continues, making it impossible to produce more linen cloth. Ny rolls are already the Tribe’s limit.


    “Our Tribe has other things to exchange for dried meat, not just linen cloth.” Su Bai lookedpletely unworried.


    Yan Jiao’s red eyes moved to the side as he thought over what the Shaman had said. He suddenly had an idea, “Shaman, could it be the ceramics?”


    “Of course. We’ve umted quite a few of those ceramics now, which can be exchanged for a lot of dried meat. Combined with the dried meat from the linen cloth exchange, it’s enough to feed over a thousand people.” Su Bai calmly stated.


    He recalled asking the fox eared girl before – one ceramic piece could be exchanged for arge bag of dried meat, which was an excellent deal.


    Yan Jiao nodded in agreement, saying, “Those ceramics will definitely be in high demand. Exchanging them for arge amount of dried meat shouldn’t be a problem.”


    “Shaman, we also have Wolf Tail Grass Paper that we can trade.” Cang Shi thought of papermaking.


    Su Bai shook his head slightly, rejecting the idea, “That won’t work. We won’t trade that for now, and we’ll also trade fewer ceramics.”


    At the current stage, they still needed to be very cautious and not expose the Tribe’s valuable assets too quickly. Otherwise, it would attract envious eyes, and there would be endless people eyeing the me Dragon Tribe.


    It was better not to unt wealth before the Tribe has fully grown strong enough to resist a Large Tribe.


    “I understand. But Shaman, how should we arrange the people from the Spotted Deer Tribe?” Yan Jiao asked.


    Yue yed with her hair, her clear voice ringing out, “They might not be wholeheartedly helping us.”


    The rabbit eared girl guessed that their thoughts would be simr to their own – a Small Tribe facing arge Tribe did not have high chances of victory, so they naturally would not be fullymitted to helping, prioritising self-preservation instead.


    “I believe they’re just going through the motions. When the timees, let them charge at the front. After the burning Animal Hide isunched, they can go and reap the rewards.” Su Bai said, lightly tapping his index finger on the table.


    Having read numerous war-rted books back on Earth, he naturally understood the various thoughts of allies.


    Of course, the reason for cooperating with the Spotted Deer Tribe was simply to take advantage of their numbers, wanting their help in reaping the rewards.


    If the me Dragon Tribe had three hundred more people who could participate in the battle, he would not need the help of the Spotted Deer Tribe.


    Unfortunately, the me Dragon Tribe had too few people who could participate in the battle.


    “If we proceed ording to the Shaman’s n, their role will indeed be maximised,” Yan Jiao said, understanding the benefits of this move.


    The Spotted Deer Tribe had two hundred Warrior Trainees and sixty Early-Stage Totem Warriors. It was more than enough to kill some injured ck Snake Tribe members.


    “Our people will just use longbows and recurve bows to support them from behind, and use Crocodile des to help when appropriate.” Su Bai clearly assigned what each group would be doing.


    “Understood.” Yan Jiao and the others now had confidence in defeating the ck Snake Tribe.
