Chapter 590 - 589, New Territory_1
Meng Zhuo nodded his head and stated straightforwardly to the Serra Tribe members, "The tribes in Lamu Forest are quite stable with no significant changes. So, although there are unclaimed territories left, they are all rather small."
He turned to Mo Zha and said, "Even though some of your Serra Tribe members died in the recent disaster, your remaining numbers are still large. The prey in the small territories simply cannot meet your food needs."
Meng Tai interjected with a smile, "Father, have you forgotten? The small tribe that betrayed us was dealt with some time ago. Their land directly borders an unclaimed territory. If we were to give them that small territory and the adjacent unclaimed one, it would be just about right."
Meng Zhuo’s eyes brightened, "Yes, that didn’t cross my mind."
He then laughed heartily and said, "The tribe leader who captured Shaman Ji Nuan a while back has been dealt with, their territory is now vacant. You can move there when the time comes."
Mo Zha, overjoyed at the news, hastily nodded, "We’ll prepare immediately and return with the Monte Tribe tomorrow. We aren’t familiar with the layout, we hope Chief Meng Zhuo can help us define our territory borders."
Meng Zhuo nodded, "Of course that’s not a problem. I should be the one worried you’ll claim more than your share."
As the smug Monte Tribe successfully conquered their rival, Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan finally led the two groups of orcs back to the Watson Tribe.
Seeing the joyful reunion of the two tribes, filled with tears and laughter, Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan decided not to interrupt further, bid the Clan Leaders farewell and headed into the tribe.
The Gray Bear Tribe and Dashi Tribe are still residing outside the Watson Tribe’s city wall. After their defense against the wild beasts attack, the tribes deepened the moat in front of the camp, forming a protective canal around the city.
On his return, Ji Nuan decided to extend the trench to the Eneru tributary, filling the whole ditch with water, thus creating a true defensive moat around the city.
By pulling up the wooden bridges, not even an evolved orc like Bertel could find a way in.
"It’s about two months before winter, right?" Ji Nuan spoke to the towering orc standing next to him.
Xiu Yan didn’t know why Ji Nuan was suddenly asking about this, but he nodded his head, "Yes."
"Seems like we need to deal with this Bertel and the Gru Tribe soon. If they’re forever lurking outside, we will have to watch out for their sneak attacks whenever we go out hunting."
Xiu Yan gently ruffled his hair, "Uncle Ge Xing and I will discuss it. Leave the rest to us. You just get the tribesfolk to collect some medicinal herbs from the mountain for use during winter."
Seeing Xiu Yan’s confident gaze, Ji Nuan felt relieved and decided to leave it to him, no longer concerning herself with it. Earlier on before her reincarnation, fights and territorial disputes within the tribe were the orcs’ business. She was not going to join in the commotion anymore.
"Shaman Ji Nuan! Shaman Ji Nuan! It’s bad, the returning orcs are all fainting." A panicked voice of an orc rang out from behind.
Ji Nuan slapped herself on the forehead, "Ah, how could I forget such an important thing? I haven’t given them the antidote to that potion yet."
