Chapter 1451: Migration Nearly Halfway, Falling from High Altitude

Xia Duo attached great importance to this relocation of the Grey Eagle Tribe; even with the help of Laidun and others from Daxia Territory after the Portal was connected, he remained busy until late into the night.

Even while resting, he maintained contact channels with the outside world at all times, ready to react immediately if anything went wrong; fortunately, after the night passed, neither the several large tribes nor the Elves had made any move.

Early the next morning, Xia Duo received a report from Maka stating that more than half of the tribe's members had already relocated, and those remaining were mostly combatants who could fight, and most importantly, these people could evacuate at any time.

The throughput of the Portal created by Xia Duo was not small; if it were just a matter of moving tens of thousands of people, it wouldn't have taken all night, and it could have been completed in an hour or so.

But these tens of thousands of people had all their various belongings, and even though he promised compensation upon arrival at Daxia Territory, many things could not be discarded so easily.

Furthermore, gathering them on short notice took more time, and Xia Duo was already quite surprised that they could evacuate more than half in one night.

On the other hand, a Portal using Daiwei String Components as the energy circuit carrier had much higher durability than an ordinary Portal, but one still had to consider the accidents that might be caused by continuous use.

Therefore, Xia Duo specifically set up a pre-teleportation inspection step, having the tribal Shamans temporarily check the stability of the Portal's Magic Aura.

And now, after a night of continuous use, it was unknown whether the Portal had any hidden dangers, so Xia Duo prepared to check it himself.

However, he speculated that there shouldn't be any problems.

"Have a portion of the tribal combatants stay here and wait for my notification; as for the rest, let them go over first after I finish checking the Portal; it just so happens they can help Laidun maintain order."

Saying this, Xia Duo walked straight toward the Training Ground where the Portal was located, and Maka immediately followed.

The inspection process was quite rapid; come to think of it, there was one benefit to using this immature Daiwei String material, which was that as long as the material itself did not disintegrate, the device would basically have no problems.

The result of this inspection was actually within Xia Duo's expectations; he had only checked it himself just in case.

Having arranged the subsequent relocation work for the Grey Eagle Tribe, Xia Duo prepared to head to the Green Vine Tribe.

If he did not resolve the Elf forces behind the Green Vine Tribe, even if he successfully relocated the Grey Eagle Tribe this time, it would likely not be as easy to recruit more people later.

Unlike other large tribes that would constantly migrate across the Langas Plain, although their migration routes had certain patterns, the specific locations were generally only known to a few large tribes or the small and medium tribes nearby.

But the Green Vine Tribe was different; it had not migrated for nearly a hundred years, and even small tribes in distant directions had heard of its location.

Not to mention large tribes like the Grey Eagle Tribe.

Before departing, Xia Duo obtained a route map drawn by the Grey Eagle Tribe's pathfinders from Maka, and combined with his previous Scrying results, he quickly crossed most of the Langas Plain and arrived near a forest in the west, close to the mountains.

Because he had previously only been looking for the anomalies of the several large tribes, his Scrying spells had left much undone.

Arriving near the Green Vine Tribe in person, Xia Duo noticed that large swathes of farmland had actually appeared outside the Green Vine Tribe.

This also explained a doubt he had earlier—how could a large tribe stay in one place for so long? It turned out it wasn't some Elf black technology, but that they had unlocked agricultural skills.

Looking at it from the perspective of it backing onto the mountains, as long as the Orc threat was resolved, it would actually be a huge strategic advantage.

And if the Orc threat had not been resolved, could the Green Vine Tribe have settled here for nearly a hundred years?

Gazing at the Green Vine Tribe, which already had the rudiments of an agricultural civilization not far away, Xia Duo seemed to see a new force on the rise.

Perhaps in a few years, this Green Vine Tribe might really unify the Langas Plain!

It is just a pity that the era outside has changed; even if the Langas Plain were eventually unified, it would be difficult to participate in the civilization game of the Northland or even a wider scope.

Just like some small black countries on Earth; even if given another ten thousand years, they might not be able to catch up with the countries that had already developed.

It is more likely that before they truly show their potential for development, they will be infiltrated by various parties and reduced to de facto modern colonies.

Modern colonization is different from the physical enslavement of the old era; it manifests more as resource plunder and ideological control, and once fallen, it is almost impossible to turn things around.

Why do advanced civilizations not accept the backward ones?

Aside from some inherent prejudices, it is mostly out of fear of dragging down their own development.

Just like how Xia Duo is actively introducing Langasi now; his main purpose is to accumulate population.

If one day the natural growth rate of the population in Daxia Territory becomes very impressive and there is potential for internal development, then in all likelihood, he will no longer accept and introduce foreign populations as casually as he does now.

Perhaps he would absorb a few Elites, but he would definitely not introduce general populations on a large scale.

From this perspective, the Langasi of today are actually standing at a historical crossroads; moving forward, there are only two paths before them: one leads to the development path of Xia Duo's civilization.

The other is the path of being a pawn sinking in the future clashes of various forces; wanting to turn things around is almost a daydream.

Looking at the Green Vine Tribe not far away now, all that burned in Xia Duo's heart was pity and regret; the Elves were not treating them sincerely, otherwise, they wouldn't have only expanded this much in nearly a hundred years.

Not to mention occupying half of the Langas Plain, at the very least they should have established absolute authority among the Langasi, and even going a step further to establish a human kingdom similar to Netheril would not have been impossible.

Unlike now, although their reputation is not small and their prestige is not low, they are only one of the few large tribes, not the true masters of the Langas Plain.

Thinking this, Xia Duo revealed his figure, rose into the air, and flew toward the Green Vine Tribe.

At this time, the Northland had reached late autumn; the agriculture on the outskirts of the Green Vine Tribe had long been harvested, and even the autumn sowing was more than half complete.

There were only a few farmers working listlessly in the fields; seeing Xia Duo flying over, they immediately put down their farm tools and ran toward the tribe, or more accurately, toward the village, shouting.

Just as Xia Duo was considering whether to go down and reveal his identity, he suddenly felt the surrounding Magic Net vibrate violently, and an invisible fluctuation came from afar.

"Discovered?"

Xia Duo was startled and hurriedly lowered his altitude, but the next moment, the invisible fluctuation transmitted from afar through the Magic Net suddenly contracted, condensed, and turned into an invisible field that enveloped Xia Duo.

Almost instantly, several intense Magic Auras erupted from Xia Duo's body, but these auras only existed for a split second before rapidly annihilating.

Immediately following, Xia Duo's figure swayed, and he suddenly fell from mid-air.
