Chapter 1412: Chapter 1409: Confusion
The orc looked at Ji Nuan in confusion. What was going on? The Shaman didn’t seem like she was going to punish him.
He knelt there, bewildered, his eyes vacant.
Geni stepped forward and helped him up, "Shaman Ji Nuan is helping you because our two tribes have a good relationship. Just say you’re working for the Shaman, and Hei Man won’t dare force you into battle."
Only then did the orc understand, his legs trembled a bit. He really thought he had displeased the Shaman just now.
Amused by the orc, Ji Nuan pointed to the beast skin mat by the fire pit, "Sit down, I noticed you haven’t eaten much. Have some roasted meat.
I’ve been calling you Clan Leader all this time, but I don’t know your name."
The orc quickly put down the roasted meat in his hand, "In response to the Shaman, my name is Cote."
"Clan Leader Cote, I wonder what your plans are for this cold season?"
Ji Nuan finished speaking and gestured to the orcs still busy around her, "Our tribesmen are building houses specifically for living in during the cold season.
They’re sturdy, able to protect against beast attacks, and very warm. Previously, both our tribes lived together, but now, our tribe doesn’t need it anymore.
If you also wish to move in..."
Though Ji Nuan didn’t finish her sentence, Cote understood her meaning.
He had just seen how hard the orcs were working to build those houses, even at a time when everyone else would be resting, they were still busy.
It would be embarrassing to just move into a place where people worked so hard without contributing.
"Shaman, we can trade food for it."
Cote looked sincere, clearly an honest orc.
Ji Nuan nodded, "That’s what I like to hear. For me, letting you move in isn’t a big deal since our previous base is still vacant.
But these are the fruits of the tribesmen’s labor, and I won’t allow anyone to take advantage of my tribesmen. So you still have to pay the compensation."
Cote was delighted, his smile almost reaching his ears, nodding repeatedly, "Of course, of course, that’s the right thing to do, the right thing. Hehe!"
The next day, Clan Leader Cote returned to the tribe with tremendous good news.
Learning that they didn’t have to join the battle, the orcs in the tribe were overjoyed.
To be able to live in the Southern Base of the Watson Tribe, protected by the Shaman, the orcs began hunting diligently.
The females, following Cote’s words, gathered the dung of black cows and black horses on the surrounding plains with the baskets he brought back.
This dung would be dried in the sun and then regularly sent to the Southern Base of the Watson Tribe.
Each time he went to the base, Cote praised his wise decision, looking at the walls taller than two of him, he felt an overwhelming sense of safety.
Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan later took time to visit the Ancient Wood Forest, explaining their plans to establish a base in the Black Mountain Tribe for the cold season.
Although the old Shaman and Harry were reluctant, they didn’t force her to stay.
The battle between the Ancient Wood Forest and the Black Mountain Tribe had already ended, with the Black Mountain Tribe not gaining any advantage.
Many orcs had died, but their territory didn’t expand, remaining confined to their small piece of land.
