Chapter 18 Construction

Su Xingyu, who was far away in the barbarian tribe, slowly opened his eyes. A trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, and he rubbed his temple with his hand.

"It was still a bit too much of a stretch. I didn't expect the consumption would be so huge. I almost couldn't hold on." Just a moment ago, the divine power he had accumulated for half a month was used up. The consumption of this divine descent technique was simply outrageous. Fortunately, he had 70,000 believers to support him and share the pressure, otherwise he would have been unable to intimidate those metal giants.

However, although the consumption is high, the effect is very good.

Without losing a single soldier, they took down this extraordinary tribe of tens of thousands of people. What a remarkable result!
After taking down the metal giant, two of the three major forces in the Black Earth Plains had been destroyed, leaving only the most ferocious gnoll tribe.

The Gnolls live in the Dark Valley and there are nearly 200,000 of them. Although the Gnolls are not a supernatural species, they are brutal and aggressive by nature. They can be said to be natural warriors and their strength should not be underestimated.

The barbarians also have a deep understanding of the two old rivals and possess a lot of intelligence.

For example, the Metal Giant is more Buddhist and has no desire for expansion. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, he has a simple and honest personality and is very easy to fool.

The gnolls are very aggressive. They occupy the Dark Valley and do not allow any tribe to exist around them. They are a veritable bully force.

This is also the reason why Su Xingyu chose to deal with the metal giants first. These honest guys are very awed by powerful creatures. As long as the army is approaching and there is a very shocking descent of gods, these honest guys will most likely surrender.

As for the gnolls, forget it.

These brutal guys have no sense of fear. Even if gods come, they will still bite them with bared teeth.

Su Xingyu has no plans to take action against the jackals for the time being and plans to wait until spring.

After dealing with the metal giant, Su Xingyu shifted his focus to the barbarian tribe.

There are hundreds of thousands of people waiting for him to integrate, which is not an easy task.

For this purpose, he specially transferred a group of experienced people from the Night Tribe.

However, even so, this work was extremely difficult. After all, the barbarians' cultural level was too low, which resulted in many orders being impossible to execute after they were issued.

Su Xingyu had no way to deal with this. Let alone the Barbarian Tribe, even the current Night Tribe was not much better.

It is easier to fool ignorant people and convert them into believers.

They are like a blank sheet of paper, having not received any cultural education. As long as Su Xingyu instills some knowledge in them, he can easily transform them into devout believers.

Just like the primitive tribes of today, they still believe in some strange totems.

Similarly, Su Xingyu, who can perform "miracles", only needs to show up a few more times, and these empty-headed guys will soon submit to Him.

On the contrary, the more educated a person is, the less likely he is to have faith, at least he will not believe in some strange gods.

But if the tribe is to develop, education must be carried out, and Su Xingyu has no intention of fooling them all the time.

Faith obtained through deception is ultimately false. A true and devout believer should choose to follow it after understanding its connotation.

Back to the topic, with Su Xingyu's hard work, the entire barbarian tribe is changing rapidly.

The original barbarian tribe structure was too chaotic, and the efficiency was extremely low, which was not conducive to the development of the tribe, so Su Xingyu directly abolished it. Su Xingyu was not very good at systems, but it was not a big problem, as long as it could work, and he could change it later if it was wrong.

He divided the entire tribe into production department, manufacturing department, cultural department, military department, construction department, and logistics department. This is also the system currently operating in the Night Tribe. The only difference is that there is also a Council of Elders in the Night Tribe.

Each department has its own responsibilities and is responsible for the tasks assigned by the city lord. As for the first city lord, Su Xingyu can only take the position for the time being.

Su Xingyu planned to build the second city of the Ye tribe here. After all, the resources nearby were so abundant and it was inconvenient to transport them back, so it would be better to build a city directly here.

Under Su Xingyu's arrangement, the entire barbarian stronghold was in full swing, building new cities, constructing infrastructure, reclaiming land, mining minerals, etc. After this round, hundreds of thousands of people were actually not enough.

But it was not a big problem. As the barbarian tribes surrendered, the surrounding vassal tribes naturally chose to surrender as well.

Su Xingyu did not relocate their population immediately, but he also recruited a number of young and strong people from them, which further increased the labor force of the barbarian stronghold.

As for doing so much work, will these new members of the tribe have any objections?

Su Xingyu felt that there was no such thing, at least he didn't see anyone raising any objections.

It is indeed very difficult to work in this bitterly cold winter, where the wind feels like a knife cutting you. However, the hot soup, strong liquor, and big steamed buns stuffed with meat provided by the Night Tribe are indeed very delicious.

You know, in the past, in winter, they basically stayed at home and only had one meal a day. Whether they could survive depended on their luck. But now, in the middle of winter, there is work to do, and it’s not for free. They also provide food and drinks. This is simply wonderful!

The concept of money has not yet circulated here, and they still use the barter method of transaction.

The Ye tribe does have a monetary system, but it is still in its infancy and has not yet been improved.

Su Xingyu did not plan to bring up the monetary system of the barbarian stronghold so quickly, and planned to talk about it later.

Under Su Xingyu's benevolent rule, the newly joined tribesmen gradually returned and began to support the tribe that defeated them.

Although they don't know much, they know who is better to them.

Compared to the previous barbarian tribal period, the current tribe is obviously better. Under the leadership of the young ruler, the entire stronghold is changing. Not only is there more food, but even the houses have become better.

And compared to the previous life of muddling through, either fighting or on the way to war, the current tribe is more far-sighted. They can't tell what's different, but they can feel that the entire stronghold is filled with vitality.

Everyone was busy. The elderly helped to weave clothes and cook, the children were sent to simple schools to learn knowledge, and the adults went to build their own homes.

Yes, my own home.

The rulers told them clearly that they would be the future residents of the city.

After the ruler took over the stronghold, all the people in the stronghold lived a fulfilling life. They worked every day and were very tired, but as they looked at the city walls that were getting higher and higher, they felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in their hearts.

Perhaps many years later, when they are old, they can point to the towering city wall and proudly tell their grandchildren, "See that wall? I carried all the stones on it bit by bit."
