Chapter 797: Eagle warriors of the polar tribe
Robb said, "Well, it turns out it's evening over there, it's the regular phone call time, I guess."
The queen probably also thought of something and said, "While you're in the New Continent, I'll call earlier."
She said that first, and then asked, "How is the situation on the New Continent?"
Robb smiled and said, "Don't worry, your mining operation is running smoothly. The small team you left behind is responsible for counting the ores and distributing supplies. The Maya people are working tirelessly to mine the ore from the mine."
The queen responded with a casual "Oh," appearing quite satisfied. "That's good to hear. In about ten days, my first fleet will arrive on the eastern coast near the mining site. There should be a temporary harbor built by the people of Norma. My people will take it over, and then I will focus on developing this harbor to establish it as our first stronghold on the New Continent."
Robb chuckled and asked, "What about the people of Norma? Any reaction from them?"
The queen snorted and said, "The people of Norma sent a protest, demanding that we return their mining site. But I can't be bothered with them. They were so arrogant when they meddled in the civil war of the kingdom of Gran. Now that I've given them a little slap, they start to cry. I don't care about them anymore."
Robb laughed and warned, "You have to be careful. Protests from the people of Norma won't be effective, but they will definitely retaliate. They have been operating in the New Continent for quite some time, unlike you who are just starting. They probably have many ports and ships active here. Your steel warships are currently unable to engage in transoceanic operations. If you rely solely on sailboats, you don't have the advantage if you get into a fight with the Kingdom of Norma."
The queen was well aware of this point.
She said seriously, "Regarding this matter, I've thought about it. I need to establish a coaling station in the New Continent so that the steel warships can reach there. But it would be foolish to transport coal across the sea and stockpile it there. It would be even better if we could find a coal mine in the New Continent."
Robb chuckled, "Don't ask me about such trivial matters. I won't help you find a coal mine."
The queen told Robb this in the hope that he would help her find a coal mine. But Robb clearly saw through it. He was already annoyed with finding high-level materials, so he had no time to help find coal. Besides, Robb's "mineral search" skill couldn't even find coal mines.
The queen had to say in a pitiful manner, "If you won't help find one, at least help come up with a solution."
Robb curiously asked, "Why do I have to help you?"
"Because you kissed me!" the queen said calmly.
After losing a bet with Robb about whether chocolate tastes good, she was dragged by Robb into the woods and was forcefully kissed. Moreover, she had originally leaned her face closer, but Robb mischievously turned her face and kissed her on the lips.
The queen, feeling wronged, made a note of this incident...
Now she was using this to ask Robb for help, without any psychological pressure.
"Fine!" Robb had to admit defeat this time. After all, the queen's red lips looked tempting, and he couldn't help but take a bite. In times like these, a man had to take a little responsibility, of course, he planned to take responsibility in his heart. He couldn't lose verbally and said with a smile, "Queen, our agreement was that if you lost, I would give you a kiss. It didn't specify whether it should be on the face or the lips, so my approach is not a problem."
The queen glanced at him.
Robb continued, "But you know, I'm a kind person. If I just give you an idea, I can help. When you throw a few pieces of coal ore through the transmission gate, I'll take them and give them to the Maya people. Then, when they're doing business trading cocoa beans and sugar, I'll have them ask tribe by tribe. We'll surely find one."
The queen thought carefully, and it made sense!
She wouldnt commit to brutal tactics like the Kingdom of Norma but had followed Robb's advice and befriended the Maya people. Since that was the case, she should certainly leverage the relationships within her circle of friends. The New Continent was said to have millions of indigenous people, so it would be best to have them help with the search.
A few days later, a war broke out between the Polar Tribe and the Gada Tribe!
The Gada Tribe was the tribe that had established a good relationship with Robb and his group. The people of this tribe were interested in the woolly mammoths in the Polar Tribe's territory because the mammoth hides could be exchanged for two thousand pounds of food.
Originally, this matter should have been resolved through trade, but the relationship between these two tribes was not good, and negotiations were impossible. In the end, it escalated into a war.
The Gada Tribe sent nearly two hundred Eagle Warriors to engage in a fierce "war" with over two hundred Eagle Warriors from the Polar Tribe. This "grand-scale" war took place in a forest not far from the Gada Tribe's northern region.
Both sides used bows and arrows, bamboo tube darts, and spears to ambush each other, then swung their spears and hide shields, shouting profane battle cries like "Your mother" and "Your sister," and fiercely charged at each other.
After a chaotic brawl, the Gada Tribe was defeated. They returned with bruised and swollen faces, with their enthusiasm to seize territory extinguished.
It was quite embarrassing!
Robb could only hold back his laughter and comforted them, "It's okay, it's okay. If it doesn't work out this time, you can try again next time. Beautiful territory is waiting for you, and you will succeed one day."
On that evening, after nightfall.
Elsie, accompanied by a translator and a Maya person wearing a wolf fur coat, came to Robb's presence. "Godfather, this person wants to see you. He says he has something to discuss with you."
Robb looked curiously at the person.
The Maya individual spoke cautiously, "I am an Eagle Warrior from the Polar Tribe."
"Oh!" Robb exclaimed in delight.
The Polar Eagle Warrior spoke in a low voice, "We know that you come from the sea and have brought miraculous goods. We are aware of all that."
Robb chuckled and said, "Just get to the point. What brought you here to find me?"
The Polar Eagle Warrior continued, "We heard from other tribes that the reason those fools from the Gada Tribe attacked us is because they want the woolly mammoths. The mammoth hides can be exchanged with you for a large amount of food. So, at the risk of my life, I've come to ask you, if we bring the mammoth hides to you, would you be willing to trade with us? Our tribe has many mammoth hides."
"Of course, I'd be happy to," Robo smiled. "Although I'm friends with the Gada Tribe, I don't want to become enemies with the Polar Tribe. If possible, I'd like to be friends with everyone I know, as long as the other party is also interested in friendship."
The Polar Eagle Warrior expressed dissatisfaction, "If we become friends, then you can no longer be friends with the Gada Tribe."
Robb responded, "No, no, no, I disagree with that notion. You don't have the right to restrict whom your friends can be friends with. That's called the ideology of hegemony, and it's very harmful."
