Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

degree.

If things really progressed to that point, then all of the bull-headed races might engage in civil war.
That was absolutely not what Wales wanted to see.
So, what he needed to do now was to stick to the plan, overthrow Gasol, and then ‘clean up’ the Fighting Bull Tribe.

Currently, what Gasol and the Fighting Bull Tribe didn’t know was that Wales had the greatest trump card: the grains.

The Fighting Bull Tribe and Gasol had surely assumed that Wales’ current greatest backing was Zhao Hai’s undead army.
But they couldn’t be more mistaken.
The undead army was just one blade in Wales’ hand.
The grains were the other fierce blade in his hand.

The best weapon in the beastmen lands was food, due to the frequent food shortages experienced here.
Especially some of the smaller tribes, who had food shortages not just during winter, but all the time.
They couldn’t get more than the larger tribes, and the grain dealers wouldn’t come to smaller tribes.
It was thus very difficult for them to buy grains.

Now that Wales had grains, coupled with his reputation in the tribe, he could definitely gain the support of the branch races, and then he could deliver the fatal blow to Gasol.

Wales and the others rested where they were for 2 days after having defeated Gasol, while actually, there wasn’t a need for them to do so, since the ones who fought had been the undead creatures.

However, Wales and the others still rested.
In those 2 days, they handled the corpses of Gasol’s escorts by burying them properly.
Then they left after a proper rest.

Strictly put, right now, the territory they were in wasn’t the bull-headed races’ territory.
Although everyone on Beastmen Prairie lived nomadic lifestyles, every race actually had their own turf.
The stronger the race, the better their grasses, and the more rivers they had.
Their places would be warmer when winter came, and less likely for blizzards to pass by.

On the flip side, the weaker the race, the worse grasslands they had, and it would be impossible for their magic beasts to grow strong.
Without strong magic beasts, they would not be able to get get more grains.
Without more grains, they could only eat magic beasts, which would incur greater losses.
This was a downward spiral.

Wales and the others were currently at the outer regions of Beastmen Prairie.
The grasslands here weren’t great, and they were shared.
However, this was the territory of pig-headed races.
It was because of this that Zhao Hai had come across Spiel and the others.
One should know that small tribes like Spiel’s would never dare to be active in the turfs of other races.

The pig-headed races had a lower standing on the prairie compared to the bull-headed races because of the difference in fighting power between them.
The ruling race, the warthogs, couldn’t match up to the herculean bulls.
This affected the overall standing of all the pig-headed races among beastmen.

Wales and the others made their way towards the pig-headed races’ territory, but they didn’t head towards the bull-headed races’ territories immediately.
Instead, they went in a circle.

That wasn’t to say that Wales was afraid that Gasol would mobilize a force to deal with him.
Wales clearly knew that, if Gasol really had the support of everyone in the tribe, then Gasol wouldn’t have brought this amount of people to deal with him, with a larger amount of fighting bulls.

The smart Wales could guess from this point that not everyone in the tribe had supported Gasol, and thus, Gasol had borrowed troops from the Fighting Bull Tribe.
Not only did this expose his colluding with the Fighting Bull Tribe, it also exposed the situation of his position in the tribe.

Beastmen were a direct race.
They worshipped power.
If you were powerful, they would listen to you willingly.
Gasol’s power was great indeed.
He had fought many wars for the Herculean Bull Tribe, with more victories than losses, and had a high popularity.
That was why his ambitions had inflated so rapidly.

If Gasol had done nothing more, he would’ve had a chance to become the chieftain.
After all, the position could not be decided by the former chieftain alone.

But Gasol had made a wrong move.
He never should’ve poisoned the former chieftain, or sent people to hunt down Mendez and Wales.
Doing so made his popularity drop to the freezing point instantly.

Because beastmen’s personalities were too direct, they always got the shorter end of the stick when it came to getting along with humans.
Such direct personalities also created a habit of deeply despising anyone who would use schemes.
Gasol’s original image of a powerful warrior had instantly turned into that of a petty creep who used schemes.
His popularity in the tribe was lost as a result.
That was exactly why he couldn’t mobilize the herculean bulls to hunt down Wales and his company.
