Indulging with the fragrant purple fruit rice, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but praise Aunt Naima’s cooking skills; it was far better than what Brother Xiu Yan had prepared.
As his mind wandered to Xiu Yan, Ji Nuan paused mid-bite, quickly continuing his al when he realized Chief Ge Xing hadn’t noticed.
"Ji Nuan cub, I ca over today to understand more about the tribal army you were talking about. The army you ntioned is not much different from the Hunt Team we have now, right?" In Chief Ge Xing’s view, both led trainings with divided groups. Isn’t the hunting equivalent to the kind of training Ji Nuan spoke of?
Swallowing his food, Ji Nuan shook his head, "The army and hunting team are quite different, with distinct outcos after training. You’ll understand once the training is done."
Thinking of the approaching winter, Ji Nuan suggested, "How about this, give so Orcs for experintal purposes, and if the army trained under my handling turns out to be efficient, we can then conduct a unified training in the tribe."
Ge Xing agreed without hesitation. Ji Nuan, in his eyes as well as in those of Shaman Ama and mbers of the Watson Tribe, was deed an envoy of the Beast God, although this was an unspoken agreent among them.
"As a Shaman of the tribe, you will need protection when out collecting herbs or attending tribal gatherings. Tomorrow, I will pick out a hundred Orcs from our ranks as your guardian army."
Ji Nuan considered this and found it to be advantageous. Whether for collecting herbs or finding new plants, having his own team would be beneficial, so he agreed, "Call them the Guard Team then, my Guard Team."
Full of joy, Ge Xing left with his basket. In the light of the moon, a faint smile crept onto Ji Nuan’s face, "I will surely strengthen the Watson Tribe, preventing any tribes from daring to challenge or attack us again."
From the following day, the Watson Tribe was bustling with activity. The tribal gates were wide open, and even the Orcs from the Dashi Tribe and Gray Bear Tribe were unexpectedly permitted to join in and view the festivities.
"Wow! The Watson Tribe is really beautiful! What are those enclosures made of? "
"That’s not just dirt. Those are bricks made of an amazing soil by the Watson’s Orcs. The enclosures are courtyards built with these bricks, housing the Orcs."
"Ying Da, you sure know a lot! Have you lived in those houses? Are they comfortable or are they prone to collapsing? "
Ying Da replied with a smug look, "I lived here once before. Those houses are sturdy. Even if tens of Orcs were to charge against it, it would not collapse. All their people sleep on a warm platform called a ’Kang’ during the winter."
"Wow...that is really amazing..."
The beauty and wealth of the Watson Tribe elicited admiration and envy from the Orcs of the two other tribes.
"Orcs, today is the day for selecting the Guard Team for Shaman Ji Nuan. What does ’Guard Team’ an?"
Standing on a platform, Clan Leader Ge Xing spoke to a sea of Orcs standing below, "It ans selecting the best of our Orcs to form a team that will protect Shaman Ji Nuan. This team will only need 100 Orcs."
