"Blessed by the Lord God! After the kingdom's support fleet arrived, facing the seven hundred warriors and sailors of the kingdom, the conversion of all the Whale Tribe of the Makka people became a matter of course. This fishing and hunting tribe of only five to six hundred people had long been with The warriors and sailors in the kingdom intermarry and build trust with each other. And this guy Zuvalo even married the youngest daughter of the old hunter Jinghai, the chief of the Whale Tribe, as his fourth wife... Lord God! I seriously doubt it , if one day Zuvalo enters the Kingdom’s Inquisition, I’m afraid he will never come out again!…”
"Although the population of the Whale Club is not large, it is very important to the kingdom! They have unique whaling skills and occupy the straits and promontories where a large number of whales pass. With the Whale Club's technology of attracting whales, they have a good understanding of the whales' habits. Understand that, coupled with the kingdom's large ships, throwing spears and powerful crossbows, you can stably hunt whales along the coast! And as long as you can capture a large whale, tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand kilograms of fish meat and a large amount of high-quality oil will be produced. This will allow almost the entire support fleet to receive sufficient food supplies!…
"Praise the Lord God! In fact, the kingdom's ports and coastal tribes along the way are not rich in food. The kingdom's support fleet has not stored enough food. After arriving at the Whale Department, the support fleet participated I went on a whaling hunt and killed a beautiful big-winged whale. I got 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms of whale meat and thousands of kilograms of oil!…”
"At the whale port, the support fleet unloaded most of the green salt and a small amount of flint, and replenished the food that could support the entire fleet for a four-month voyage, mainly pickled salted whale meat, shelf-stable Edible whale oil! At the same time, the fleet left 60 samurai sailors from the kingdom headquarters and added 30 Makka sailors. In this way, the population of Whale Harbor reached 700 people. About one-third of them are the headquarters of the kingdom, so they can be guaranteed to be safe!"
"In the arrangement of Whale Port, the first-level priest Zuyu served as the village priest and married the sister of the whale guide. The old chief Jinghai converted to the main god and carved the emblem of the main god on his forehead, and then he still served as the village leader of the Whale Club. , responsible for daily whaling activities. Chief Whale Sea is a truly wise and open-minded old hunter. After the support fleet appears, he is not reluctant to join the "amazingly powerful longship tribe", and even easily converts to the blood oath , to engrave the emblem of the Lord God on his body. For him, as long as the continuation of the tribe is guaranteed and the lives of the tribesmen become better, the so-called 'chief and leader' positions are not actually important. Of course, life in the Northland The chiefs of these small tribes have to lead their tribes to continuously migrate due to hardships and hardships. They have to personally participate in hunting, fishing and gathering, and even fight with other tribes themselves. They are really the least enjoyable chiefs I have ever seen!..."
"At the end of April, the support fleet of ten longships was replenished in Whale Harbor. After the handover from Priest Koje to us, he returned to the North Port in the south to find his own achievements. Praise the Lord God! Zuvalo and I are waiting. After a long half year and a blizzard of winter, we can finally set out again to advance His Majesty’s divine exploration! Of course, our first goal is not the Thousand Miles Island of the Shuslau people in the north, but Krale in the southeast. The Salt Creek Tribe of the Mu people. Hundreds of warriors from the fleet gathered together are the extremely, extremely amazing power of the North! We want to give the old grandmother of the Salt Creek Tribe a little shock! It’s best to take advantage of the fleet The strength is enough to 'persuade' the other party to convert to the Lord God, even if it is just a nominal acceptance!..."
The night is long and the stars are like a sea. The stars twinkle in the night sky and contrast with the deep sea. The aroma of whale soup lingers on the top of the mountain, attracting red foxes and arctic foxes from afar, and they also carefully poke their heads. They are always wary of the four-legged ferocious beasts, which are almost their only natural enemies on the island. In this era, natural enemies do not care about their beautiful fur, but are interested in their meager few ounces of meat. This is why they continue to survive. Until one day, their pure and gorgeous fur becomes a luxury product that is worth as much as gold, and that is when the real destruction comes!
"Tsk tsk! What a beautiful fox!"
Exploration captain Zuvalo used the firelight to see a touch of white and a touch of fiery red not far away. He blinked, and there seemed to be no mottled color on the fur of those foxes. If I could bring it back to the capital city in the lake, it would probably be a wonderful gift that would make the noble ladies extremely happy and willing to commit themselves. However, the mission of exploration was currently weighing heavily on him, leaving him no time to think about these small things.
"Miki, the old grandmother of the Salt Creek Tribe made an alliance with us, nominally converted to the main god, and accepted the first-level preaching priest sent by the kingdom, Ta Corn. And with the Salt Creek Tribe as an intermediary, we and the Bay of Hundred Lakes Many tribes in the country also have communication channels, and there is an additional way to obtain salt!..."
"Actually, ten long ships, seven hundred warriors and sailors, such a powerful force, are enough to establish a foothold in the Bay of Hundred Lakes! However, if we continue to explore and build ports, it is impossible to stay in the Bay of Hundred Lakes. More manpower... Now it seems that the distance to the west from this far north is probably longer than the long west coast!..."
"Blessed by the Lord God! It is indeed true! From Whale Harbor to the north, you can count it as the northwest coast and the far north coast! And the supply ports we built along the way..."
Mickey the Knowledgeable nodded seriously. He rubbed his hands, stretched out his fingers, and counted port by port.
"Witness the Lord God! The first is the Divine Shell Fish Harbor on the Long Island of the Siuslaw people, the second is the Eagle Wing Harbor at the junction of the Tlingit and the Haida, and then the Tlingit The sacred gold stream port where people fish and hunt is what your majesty calls the Juno Gold Mine. After that, there is the sacred blood bay port where the Eyak people are located, and the sacred port where the Sugpiaq people are located. The Great Whale Port, the Divine Earth Port where the Unangax appeared, and the Divine High Mountain Port where we are now!... Just a little calculation, there are eight ports, and a voyage of seven or eight thousand miles!..."
"Yes! On the northwest coast, we have established eight ports named after 'gods'! And in each port, we have left a long ship with sixty or seventy warrior sailors to recruit the surrounding people. Tribe... Lord God! When we set off from Whale Harbor, I thought that the ten longships supporting the fleet would be enough for us to reach the end of the island chain heading west! But I didn’t expect..."
Speaking of this, exploration captain Zuvalo smiled bitterly and shook his head. But he also knew that establishing supply points along the way and recruiting troops from the far north were not only His Majesty's divine guidance, but also the most reliable and safe way to develop! After all, they not only want to explore this desolate cold coast, but also open up an extremely northern route that can provide stable supplies. Although the winter on the far north coast is harsh, there is actually quite a lot of prey caught in spring, summer and autumn!
"Let me think about it, we were in mid-May, along the Thousand Mile Long Island of the Slaus people, and detoured hundreds of miles to the south. Then, at the northernmost tip of the Long Island, at the place I had selected before, I left the first A long ship established the Shenbei Fish Port! What is the measured latitude of that port? Oh, yes, 51 degrees north latitude!…"
