The kingdom's exploration fleet spent a few days in the Ipa tribe of the Kumeya people after a good rest. The knowledgeable Mickey worked hard to communicate with the elders of the tribe and learned more about the Northern Continent. pass through

The Kumeya tribes are powerful tribes occupying the northern coast of the peninsula - the Great Salt Lake - the lower reaches of the Colorado River and the Gila River. The territory they controlled was the southwestern part of Arizona in the United States, the southernmost tip of California, and the northern tip of Lower California in Mexico.

In the Northland desert, which lacks water sources, this piece of land with rivers and lakes, suitable for farming, is a fertile ground for countless tribes in the Northland to fight and compete. Those who can occupy this land must be the last powerful tribes or even tribal alliances left behind after countless fights. At present, the tribes of Kumeya are in a state of being both scattered and connected, vaguely having the embryonic form of a tribal alliance.

"Brothers from the sea, we Kumeyas have more than 60 large and small tribes! ... and the three most powerful big tribes are those who occupy the Salt Lake Department of Salt Lake (Salton Sea), occupy the west bank estuary, and Occupying the Changhe Department at the junction of the Wikuwa?a River (Wikuwa?a) and the Hanatu River (HananChuuk)! Each large tribe, counting the surrounding small tribes, has at least four to five thousand people and can pull out a Thousands of fighters!..."

Redstone chief Matutumbe recalled thinking, holding a branch in his hand and drawing a map on the sand. The well-informed Mickey wrote quickly, using charcoal to draw a simple map on tough bark paper, and then marked the location of each department. He will collect as much information as possible on the vast north, and provide the most important reference for the kingdom's future northern strategy.

"Chief Redstone, what do the Vikuvaa and Hanatu rivers... mean?"

"Oh! 'Vikuvaa River' is the name of the Paiute people in the north, and it is called 'Long River'! This long river is very long, long, long, coming from the upper reaches of the north, and there are many tribes along the way... the east The Havasupai (Havasupai), would call the river 'Hālchidhoa' (Hālchidhoa), that is, 'blue-green water'. And the more powerful Navajo Alliance in the east occupies the upper reaches of the long river , will call it 'TóNahasdzáán' (TóNahasdzáán), 'blue river'. Of course, most tribes along the river will call it the most common name, 'Great Mother River'!"

"Witness of the Lord God! A very long, blue-green, blue river, the great mother river..." 擐

Mickey the Great Knower draws a long line, representing the known river, stretching to the endless northeast. This was his first impression of the Colorado River, and it was also the first time that the entire Kingdom of the Lake knew about this long river running through the Grand Canyon. And this long river extending five thousand miles has nurtured hundreds of northern tribes, and it is also the first lifeline of the North American continent!

"...The Hanatu River is the 'corn river' in the mouths of various ministries, a river that can grow corn. It comes from the upper reaches of the East and flows through the territories of the Yavapai and Hopi people, Finally arrived at Salt Lake. And the upper reaches of this river, is the really powerful Apache Alliance that threatens all ministries!  …”

"Corn River? The Apache Federation?"

Thinking about it, Mickey the Great Knower drew a long line flowing from the east. In later generations, this long line of more than a thousand miles is the Jila River. And at the origin of the long line, an emphatic circle is marked that reads "Apache Alliance"!

"Hey! From this point of view, the Nava Alliance is in the north, and the Apache Alliance is in the south. The two powerful tribal alliances are just connected together? It's like two packs of wolves with adjacent territories..."

Seeing this, the knowledgeable Miglia thought about it and asked Chief Redstone.

"Dear Chief, what is the relationship between the Navajo Alliance and the Apache Alliance?"

Hearing this, Chief Redstone's eyes flickered. He smiled and replied meaningfully.

"Brother from the sea, your map is very good, and your vision is as sharp as a mountain eagle!... These two powerful tribal alliances are like two tireless bison, fighting and fighting endlessly, even It has lasted for hundreds, hundreds of years!…”

"And all the tribes in the upper reaches of the Changhe to the east must choose one side to join this long fight between the two. Because when two bison fight, they will not let the surrounding wolves, Those who are leisurely on the sidelines..."

"But fortunately, we Kumeya occupy the westernmost end of the desert and canyon, so we don't have to fight for the tribal alliance upstream...Of course, we are always paying attention to them. If the two bison really decide One leader, the entire desert and canyon has the only powerful alpha wolf!..."

As for the situation in the upper reaches of the Long River, the conversation between the knowledgeable Mickey and Chief Redstone ends here. At the end of the conversation, the wise man Mickey asked the calm Chief Redstone a crucial question with a serious expression.

"Chief Redstone, the wind of the ancestors brought me here and brought me a chance to change... If there is a real and visible powerful **** who shows miracles in front of you!... Then, you are willing to believe in him and regard him as the only one God?"

Seeing the solemn expression of the knowledgeable Mickey, Chief Redstone seemed to have noticed something. He pondered for a long time before asking cautiously. pass through

"Brothers from the sea...the **** of the sea controls the sea and determines the fisherman's harvest. The **** of the sky controls the sky and determines the amount of rain...and a truly powerful god, what is his miracle?"

"He controls the thunder and fire, and bestows on pious warriors to destroy any enemy who resists!"
