I understand this is a very simple process. Not to mention their past grievances, the current situation alone makes integration very troublesome.
The main reason is that in this situation, I cannot communicate with them directly, so I cannot bring their consciousness and spirits together.
If their hearts are not in the same place, it becomes quite problematic.
But one thing is fortunate: the previous tribe, out of reverence for the power of the Shepherd God, was exceptionally respectful towards me.
And this current tribe, having been conquered by my previous performance and possessing the crown representing the chieftain, also respects me.
This way, I can act as a mediator.
The important point is that Luo Yaqin can also communicate with them in simple terms, so in my opinion, the merger of the two tribes is only a matter of time.
However, what I am considering now is whether to let them live in the same place.
To be honest, I still prefer my previous camp.
On the one hand, there is plenty of water nearby, which solves the biggest living problem.
On the other hand, the terrain there is good, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
And I believe that if anyone from outside were to enter this deserted island, they would likely check my camp first.
This would give us a head start!
And with so much time having passed, according to the agreed-upon schedule, those people from outside should be arriving soon.
However, there's no need to rush for now.
"I think it's fine. We're developing well here, and we wouldn't necessarily lose if we clashed," Luo Yaqin said with a smile.
During this time, Luo Yaqin had not been idle. Besides basic communication, she had also gathered a lot of medicinal herbs.
This way, there would be no need to be overly afraid if someone got injured.
However, accommodating so many people would definitely require a large area, and housing is a crucial aspect.
After several days of deliberation, I took Luo Yaqin and selected forty savages from the two tribes.
These were all strong and healthy individuals. The two savages from the second tribe who had previously competed with me also willingly joined me.
We spent a few days returning to the previous camp.
Some things here had already been damaged. If nothing unexpected happened, it was likely from those wild boars or other wild animals.
However, this was a good thing for us, at least there was meat to eat!
I was responsible for the arrangements, and Luo Yaqin was responsible for conveying them.
I divided these savages into two groups.
One group was tasked with building houses, while the other was tasked with constructing defensive fortifications.
Building houses used a simple method: using wood and leaves to create a rough outline, then plastering the outside with mud.
Houses built this way were not only dry and comfortable but also possessed a certain level of defense.
Outside the mud, I had them use stones for simple defenses, which further increased the overall defensive strength.
Even if bullets were to fall, it could provide a degree of protection to the people living inside.
This process took nearly another month. We had already built quite a few houses. Although we were still some distance from our goal, I believed it wouldn't take too much longer.
The defensive fortifications were done exceptionally well. I had very strict requirements for this part.
First, stones were used to build a rough outline inside. Then, mud mixed with some weeds and other materials was used for the second layer of reinforcement.
With these fortifications, if bullets from firearms were to come from outside, some of their force could be absorbed.
Of course, I also left some areas for offense. When the time came, the strong savages would use bows and arrows for counterattacks.
The savages who remained in the tribe were not idle either. They continued to craft bows and arrows, which would be used for survival.
Seeing the gradually forming defensive fortifications, my mood became exceptionally good.
It was like an iron wall!
Unless they were to use howitzers or the like to bombard it, it would be impossible to break through my defenses in a short period!
Thus, another half a month passed, and the surrounding area was basically constructed to my satisfaction.
That evening, I took Luo Yaqin for a walk on the beach. This was when I felt most relaxed and comfortable.
Although the future situation was still uncertain, given the current circumstances, this kind of life was what I deeply longed for.
With the person you love by your side, other things are not as important as one might imagine.
As we were walking, I suddenly noticed a small black dot in the direction of the sunset.
Seeing this, Luo Yaqin instantly became tense!
"Could it be? Someone from outside has arrived?" Luo Yaqin asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, my expression also turned solemn. The power of the Shepherd God was immediately unleashed.
