Chapter 102: Surrender or Die (Part II)
The total population of the Deer Tribe currently has 137 people, excluding the Deer Witch, the Deer Witch disciples, and the three Yuan, there are only 25 adult males, only 44 adult females, and the rest are minors and a very small number of old people, sick and disabled.
Yuan went out hunting with a hunting party, leaving only five adult males, more than one-third of the adult females were pregnant and stayed in the tribe to do some simple work, and the remaining adult females almost all gathered wild vegetables and dug up the roots of plants in the area near their residence, and some children who were close to adulthood worked with them.
At this time, there were only a dozen adult clansmen who could fight in the Deer Tribe's residence, and the rest were pregnant women and half-grown children, and their enemies were forty-five adult males and ten adult females of the Dragon Tribe, and the difference in strength between the two was huge.
Jian and Su Yan surrounded them with people, and the vanguard led by Zhi also blossomed inside, this time it was not a battle of battle, Su Yan ordered the clansmen to not hurt the people of the Deer tribe and definitely not to do it, but to use weapons to drive them away.
"Roar!" "Hah! "Yikes! ”
All kinds of strange voices shouted from the mouths of the dragon tribe, without any meaning, just to intimidate the people of the deer tribe.
The people of the deer tribe are not stupid, they are seeing so many enemies pressing up with weapons, and the difference in strength between the two sides is several times, they can only keep retreating with weapons in hand.
The expedition team did not attack, and the people of the deer tribe would not take the initiative to attack, and the huge gap in numbers made the people of the deer tribe want to run away more than fight, they were not crazy, they could not rush to the enemy alone.
Driven by the intimidation of the expeditionary team, they kept retreating and gathered in the middle of the deer tribe's residence, where Zhi, Deer Witch, and Deer Witch disciples were still standing.
Soon, the people in the deer tribe's residence were driven by the expedition team to gather in the middle part of the clearing of the settlement, put on a simple defensive "formation", and Zhi grabbed the deer witch and the expedition team to converge.
The Deer Witch disciple stood in the middle, surrounded by children of all sizes, and on the outside were pregnant women with weapons, and on the outermost were a few adult males and adult females who were not pregnant, as well as a few children who were close to adulthood.
And the people of the dragon tribe expedition team surrounded the people of the deer tribe, they didn't make all kinds of intimidating sounds, some of the children of the deer tribe were already scared and cried, others were either scared or nervous, and the few children who were close to adulthood with weapons in their hands were already trembling with fear, and their enemies were too many.
Dozens of meters away, there were more than a dozen adult women and children who were close to adulthood who heard the sound and came back, they were staring at this side with weapons in their hands, but they didn't dare to get too close, they also understood the difference in strength between the two sides, they would not send them to death to attack the enemy, even if they added the people who were surrounded by the expedition team, the strength of the deer tribe's side was far inferior to the expedition team.
They can only continue to wait for the arrival of other tribesmen, and once the expedition party sends men, they will choose to fight or flee depending on the situation.
As the leader of the team, Su Yan obviously didn't care about the people wandering outside, and Su Yan came face to face with the deer witch with angry eyes that were about to breathe fire.
"Deer Witch, let your people lay down their weapons, we won't hurt them." Su Yan gestured to the deer witch and said.
"Why, why are you attacking our tribe?" The deer witch asked Su Yan puzzled, the deer tribe and the dragon tribe are not an alliance, but the two tribes often trade, isn't the relationship between the two sides very good, the dragon tribe's sudden attack on the deer tribe made the deer witch very angry and painful, and he was also very puzzled, the deer witch knew a little about the situation of the dragon tribe through the fate, even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he also understood that the deer tribe was far from being the opponent of the dragon tribe.
Su Yan took a packet of refined salt from a female clansman who was in charge of assisting, opened the animal skin, and Su Yan pointed to the refined salt to answer the deer witch.
Because of the salt war against the deer tribe, this is Su Yanming's excuse, the top of the dragon tribe thinks that the dragon tribe is fighting against the deer tribe because of the salt matter, and in Su Yan's heart, salt is only secondary, if there is no impurity salt of the deer tribe, the dragon tribe can also use the salt soil with a relatively low salt content to make refined salt, but the annexation of the deer tribe to increase the population of the dragon tribe is the most important.
Looking at the refined salt in Su Yan's hand, the deer witch was a little distracted, he couldn't believe that the dragon tribe would start a war against the deer tribe because of salt.
The dragon tribe obtains impurity salt through trading with the deer tribe, not to mention that the interval between the two tribes is getting longer and longer, salt is very effective for the dragon tribe, the dragon tribe can no longer lack salt, the dragon tribe must master the method of obtaining salt on a large scale, not through trading with the deer tribe to obtain salt, the "lifeline" is in the hands of other tribes, which is resolutely not possible.
Deer Witch: "I can tell your tribe where the salt was found, please spare my people." ”
"No, it's already in this situation, what's the use of talking about those, now you have only one choice, let your people lay down their weapons, otherwise, die!" Su Yan made a gesture of reaching out and cutting his neck.
The deer witch was silent, laying down their weapons meant that their lives were in the hands of the dragon tribe, and if they didn't lay down their weapons, they could still have some resistance, although this resistance was very weak and weak for the dragon tribe.
Su Yan: "Deer Witch, my patience is limited, quickly let your people lay down their weapons, between the relationship between your tribe and my tribe, I promise not to hurt your people." ”
The Deer Witch remained silent.
Su Yan stared at the deer witch for dozens of breaths, but the deer witch still didn't answer, Su Yan knew that he had to put some pressure on the deer witch again.
"Attack!" Su Yan waved his hand and shouted at the clansmen, hearing the king's voice, the clansmen grabbed their weapons and slowly advanced towards the people of the deer tribe who were gathered together.
Seeing this scene, the deer witch could no longer be silent.
"Don't." The deer witch shouted in the colloquial language of the deer tribe, and then gestured to Su Yan: "Don't, I promise you." ”
"Stop." Su Yan shouted to the clansmen, and then gestured to the deer witch: "Please, let your clansmen lay down their weapons." ”
"You have to remember what you say." , Deer Witch turned around and walked towards his people, Zhi followed behind Deer Witch, once Deer Witch had any extra movements, Zhi would stop Deer Witch.
Deer Witch crossed the encirclement of the expedition team and walked in front of the gathered clansmen, and Deer Witch said helplessly to his people: "Everyone lay down their weapons." ”
There is no need for the deer witch to say a second sentence, the people of the deer tribe just hesitated a little, and then put their weapons on the ground, this is the authority of the deer witch in the deer tribe, to say nothing.
