Chapter 1111 Big Whale Island, a Large Horse-Raising Island of 9,000 Square Kilometers (Supplementary Update)

"On the eternal pale glacier, the highest Snake Mountain towers into the clouds. On the Snake Mountain stands the throne of the Lord God, which also inherits the divine power bestowed by the Lord God! However, how will the power of these noble and majestic Lord Gods be distributed? That depends on each individual. The influence of the branch priests, look at the power they hold!..."

"Shi Bo, an ordinary priest from our Shenwei University department, has long been firmly bound to the exploration of navigation and the development of the North! Whether it is the old days of the Kingdom of Tarasco or the Kingdom of the Lake, Today, there has never been such a mutually supportive group, such a faction of ordinary priests... Although our current power is limited, we are like a newly unearthed tree species, with the future to grow into the West Coast Spruce!"

"Witness the Lord God! Both Zuvalo and I feel that the foundation of our future is not actually in the kingdom in the lake, but in the vast northern continent, on the West Bay coast, the west coast, and the extreme north coast that are in urgent need of development! And only along the way. The port and the parish are prospering and developing day by day...Only in the mountains of the kingdom's priesthood can we obtain a foundation of divinity and a sacred hill to truly stand out!"

"This foundation stone gradually accumulates, and this hill gradually rises. In the end, it may even be possible to build a towering mountain! And the height of this mountain, whether it is a fourth-level chief priest, a fifth-level sect chief priest, or even more than one sect leader Sacrifice...it all depends on how high and thick the cornerstone we have accumulated can be in the management of this coastal area!..."

"Yes! Chief Priest Mickey, you are right! The road ahead must be taken step by step, and the most important thing right now is to operate the kingdom's ports well and establish stable shipping routes... Then use the products from various places and rely on the strength of the kingdom to gather together Raise more northern tribes!…”

White snow peaks stand in the center of Big Whale Island. Many clear rivers flow down from the continuous mountains and wind around the island. The location of Great Whale Harbor is located in the northeast corner of the island. It is a natural bay harbor and connected to a verdant valley with ample fresh water.

At this moment, Mikey the Knowledgeable stood on the edge of the valley, looking at the snowy peaks in the southwest. He estimated the height of the snow peak to be at least a thousand meters. This stretch of mountains also forms a natural sheltered valley, which is warmer in winter than the southern side of the extreme northern coast. In the mountains in the center of the island, there is even a hot spring that does not freeze in winter. It is the winter camp where all the tribes on the island gather.

"Shi Bo, you have settled on this vast whale island for more than a year with the warriors and sailors of the kingdom. Now on this big island, how many people are there in the port of the kingdom, and how many unconquered Su The Sugpia tribe? What is the situation of the Sugpia tribes across the strait?..."

"God bless you! Mikey is the presiding priest. After a year of operation, the Great Whale Port has grown from more than 90 people left by the Kingdom to more than 270 people! And the extra one or two hundred people are from the Kingdom. Through marriage, trade and missionary work, the Sugpians were gathered and conquered..."

Speaking of the port that he had worked so hard for a year, Shi Bo, the evangelist and priest, showed joy and excitement in his eyes. Every field, every shack in this port, and the only stone shrine to the main god, were all built bit by bit under his auspices!

"Praise the Lord God! The Sugpians who convert to the Lord God are all good hunters and fishermen. They are generally tall and strong, and can be trained into excellent warriors of the kingdom! ... Of course, the most important thing is that they believe in The world is very ignorant, except for worshiping ancestors, mountains, seas, trees, and sea animals, there are almost no abstract gods, which means there is a complete blank in terms of belief!”

"And after the kingdom showed long boats for fishing, potatoes for cultivation, metal tools, sufficient salt, and divine thunder, and attributed all of these to the power of the Lord God... they all quickly converted to the Lord God, and every day Pray devoutly every day, obey the instructions of the priest of the Lord God, and also learn the language and customs of the kingdom!…”

"Chief Priest Mickey, this whale island is very vast. From southwest to northeast, it is about three to four hundred miles long and nearly a hundred miles wide... And the tribes on this big island can only have two thousand people at most! There are two or three kingdoms The 100-person Great Whale Harbor Camp is already the most powerful force on the entire island. It is a big tribe that all the tribes on the island respect and yearn for, and even want to join..."

"Witness the Lord God! It's three to four hundred miles long and nearly a hundred miles wide, but there are less than two thousand people? Hmm... That's about the same as the tribal density on the Shenqi Island chain!..."

Hearing such numbers, Mickey the Knowledgeable touched his chin, obviously thoughtful. In fact, this vast whale island (Kodiak Island) covers an area of ​​9,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a quarter of Dongpan Island (Taiwan Island).

But at this time, there were hundreds of aboriginal villages, large and small, on Dongfan Island, with an estimated population of at least 200,000 Pingpu and Gaoshan people. In comparison, the tribal population density on Daji Island is only about one-twenty-fifth of that of Dongfan Island, or even lower... The difference is between tropical climate and cold zone climate, and the productivity of different tribes During this time, the population supported was vastly different...

"Exactly, the Lord God has witnessed! I have carefully inquired about the tribes that have taken refuge, and also sent hunters to investigate. There will never be more than two thousand people on this big island, and there is no 'big tribe' with more than two hundred people! Because if If the population gathers too much, the long and harsh winter will take away the extra lives of the tribe with cold and hunger!..."

"Only the kingdom's ports, with flint brought from the south, copper axes for cutting firewood, salt for pickling fish, and fields for growing potatoes, can large-scale tribal camps successfully survive the cold winter... and be able to survive very quickly. The fact that people survive the winter with few deaths is also the most sacred majesty of the Lord God in the hearts of these northern tribes! In fact, many local tribes defected to us and took the initiative to convert to the Lord God, all because of this reason! In their mouths, the supreme The main god, also called the Snow God who controls death and winter..."

Speaking of this, the preaching priest Shi Bo sighed softly, with some regret in his voice.

"Priest Mickey, we now only have one big long boat and twenty or thirty canoes. The catch we can catch can support more than two hundred people at most. And we have cultivated another two hundred acres of potato fields, but the extreme northern coast is too Cold! Although the potatoes we brought can grow on the island, they do not grow quickly and the yield is less than in the south... It takes about five acres of potato fields to grow one potato. Two hundred acres of fields can only grow one potato. Forty men..."

"Of course, the food distribution in the camp mainly depends on the season! The perishable catch is the food from spring to summer and autumn. The potatoes, which are easy to store, are important food reserves to survive the winter..."

After hearing Shi Bo's detailed account, Mikey, the knowledgeable man, nodded with satisfaction on his face.

"Not bad! Shi Bo, you worked hard and did a good job! The size of the camp on Daji Island has exceeded that of Shendadi Port! We left one hundred and twenty people in Shendadi Port, but now there are only two There are about a hundred people. The potato fields they have opened up are only more than a hundred acres... I have seen that around God Dadi Port, there are far less warm places where potatoes can be grown than on Big Whale Island, and there are not as many as you God Big Whale. Hong Kong has great potential!…”

"God bless you! Priest Mickey, with our current situation, we have reached the end of maintaining a camp size of nearly 300 people. If we absorb more surrounding tribes, the food and fuel for the winter will not be able to keep up, and we will inevitably have to People are freezing and starving to death..."

"In fact, from the perspective of the tribes on the island, it is normal for people to freeze and starve to death. However, if such things happen in large numbers in the kingdom's camps, it will seriously affect the majesty of the Lord God that has been finally established, and let the Supreme Lord God Damaged sex is not conducive to the Kingdom’s mission…”

Shi Bo, the preaching priest, sighed again. But soon, his eyes showed expectation, and he looked at Mickey, the knowledgeable man who meant what he said. He knelt on the ground on one knee, holding the amulet of the Lord God around his neck, and asked his superior for help sincerely.

"Praise the Lord God, respected Priest Mickey! If you can give me two more longships to transport two more ships of flint every year..."

"Then I have full confidence that I can take control of this whale island with a radius of hundreds of miles, subdue all the one or two thousand Sugpiya tribes on the entire island, and absorb them into the kingdom's whale port. !”

"Witness the Lord God! At that time, this vast whale island will become the kingdom's first fully controlled territory on the far north coast, and the most secure horse-raising island!..."
