Chapter 606: 606

Through Situ Feixing’s explanation, Yan Liqiang soon realized just how crazy the Black Ram people had become this month!

The reason the Black Ram people were so crazy was due to the wool!

In the Mount Wumeng region, Solo Cloud already had business relations with the Black Ram people . This time, Situ Feixing was authorized by Yan Liqiang to buy wool from them . In the beginning, the Black Ram people were a bit confused, but since this wasn’t the first time they were doing business, they had some trust so they brought over a batch of wool . As soon as Solo Cloud received it, they promptly paid them . Then the Black Ram sent more over a few times and Solo Cloud paid them promptly every time . This completely spoiled the Black Ram people .

In a short month, Solo Cloud had bought more than 100 tonnes of wool from the Black Ram people .

The Black Ram already had great ambition in attacking the Gulang Plains . They wanted to kick the Shatu Seven Tribes away and take over the Gulang Plains themselves . But from last year till now, they had back-to-back battles and the Black Ram didn’t have an overwhelming advantage . They only robbed the poor Shatu and some livestock . They reaped too many benefits from it, especially in the recent few months due to heavy resistance from the Shatu Seven Tribes . Plus, there was the news that the Great Han Empire was sending an army to help the Shatu . This news made the Black Ram concerned and they eased up their attacks .

The deals with Solo Cloud made the Black Ram people realize that the useless wool from the Gulang Plains could be exchanged for large sums of silver from the Han people . In the past, those sheep were just food in their eyes . But now, the sheep were money-making trees .

After a short month, the Black Ram people couldn’t resist anymore . They started raiding, killing, robbing land and sheep . The flames of battle reignited on the Gulang Plains .

The Black Ram people became crazy for wool . Solo Cloud was told by Yan Liqiang to ship the wool from the Black Ram people to the Yingwei County border trading post . Immediately, they could sell it for many times the price . The number one factory and the Lu family wool factories could instantly buy out all the wool that Situ Feixing brought over . Situ Feixing also earned large sums of money from the wool .

Situ Feixing was only planning to try it out, but that immediately turned to become the most profitable business for Solo Cloud . Situ Feixing’s authority rose drastically within Solo Cloud . He began to fully devote himself to this business .

“How many Black Ram people have entered the Gulang Plains? Which Black Ram tribes, and who are they led by? Do you have information about these things?!” Yan Liqiang poured a cup of tea for Situ Feixing and continued asking .

“Young Master, you’re asking the right person . The black bandits working for me are Black Ram people . They can go into the Black Ram tribes and get first-hand information!” Situ Feixing drank a cup of water and continued, “Before the seventh lunar month, the Black Ram only sent in around 100,000 people into the Gulang Plains . These people are mainly the Serpent God Tribe warriors and some middle small tribes that adhere to the Serpent God Tribe . And these few days, it’s said that armies are constantly entering the Gulang Plains . Their numbers might exceed 130,000 . I can’t be sure how many exactly!”

“What is this Serpent God Tribe?” Yan Liqiang thought and asked .

“The Serpent God Tribe is one of the three most respected royal Black Ram bloodlines . They occupy a third of the Black Ram land . Their land is bigger than the Gan and Feng Provinces combined . This tribe and their affiliated tribes are very invasive . In the past hundred years, the Great Han Empire army fought the most with this Black Ram tribe . The Serpent God Tribe worships the serpent god . The entire tribe is bloodthirsty and vicious . They’re very hard to mess with . This time, it’s the tribe leader’s little brother Tai Miba who is leading the army . He’s a crazed fighter and is very cruel . He’d always been proposing to start a war with the Shatu Seven Tribes and devouring the Gulang Plains . Then, they would use the Gulang Plains as the base to attack east . It’s said that it’s mainly due to him that the Black Ram attacked the Gulang Plains this time…”

Yan Liqiang nodded, “Then what are the other two big Black Ram tribes? What do they think about the Serpent God Tribe invasion of the Gulang Plains?”

“The other two tribes are the Mountain God Tribe and Eagle God Tribe . The two tribes are just bystanders in the Serpent God invasion . They don’t support it, nor are they against it . According to my news, the hierarchy of these two tribes want to see the Serpent God Tribe ridicule themselves and make the Shatu Seven Tribes consume the power of the Serpent God Tribe . However, they are also worried that the Serpent God Tribe will really kick away the Shatu Seven Tribes, take over the Gulang Plains, and then unite the Black Ram tribes . Therefore, they’re quite hesitant!”

Yan Liqiang touched his chin, “What’s the greatest number of warriors the Serpent God Tribe can mobilize?”

Situ Feixing frowned and thought, “According to my estimates and counting their attached tribe, they can mobilize more than one million soldiers . The Serpent God Tribe can mobilize the most warriors out of the three royal bloodlines . This makes the other two royal tribes very concerned!”
