Chapter 390: Domineering
Wei Ming gathered twenty sailors and prepared to form a mission to communicate with the natives here, and He Tie was among them, and He Tie was appointed as the leader of this mission, taking on the important task of negotiating with the natives.
These twenty sailors were all carefully selected, both in reaction and in the personal room, they were very strong, even if they encountered any accidents, Wei Ming estimated that they should be able to escape with their whole body.
And each of them brought two grenades, armed with the mission of the Dao Teeth, so to speak, each of them was able to fight ten against one.
There was only one place for the mission to negotiate with the natives, and that was to submit or perish, and there was no second way to go.
Leaving the camp, He Tie took the heavily armed mission to this mountain forest.
It is the early autumn season, and the leaves in the mountains and forests have begun to turn yellow, and they squeak when they step on the dead yellow leaves.
In an unfamiliar environment, the twenty people were extremely cautious, maintained a defensive formation, and slowly advanced.
According to the footprints left by the humans, the mission walked straight towards the tribe of the De'ang people.
The natives who were lurking up saw that these enemies called devils were traveling in the direction of their own tribe, and they were immediately anxious, and they didn't care about continuing to monitor, and ran quickly in the direction of the tribe from the path.
"He Tie, are we going in the right direction, if we can't return a long time ago, we will be in danger." One of the members of the mission said.
He Tie said with great certainty: "That's right, I often hunted when I was in the Xia Kingdom, and the footprints left by the savages are very obvious, and they should be there soon." ”
Everyone nodded and continued on their way.
"Devil! The devil is coming. The sentinels of the De'ang ran back to the tribe in terror and shouted.
At this time, the leader of the Dadahar gathered the sorcerers of the De'ang people to discuss, and this sudden shout startled the two of them, and the python came out of the house to inquire about the situation.
At this time, the tribe was already in chaos, and the news of the impending arrival of the devil made the wild people panic, and a strong sense of despair shrouded the tribe.
The old wizard called the rabbit on the stone and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Great wizard, our warriors see the demons down the hill coming towards our tribe, and they may be attacking us." The young man said through gritted teeth.
The old wizard looked at the female leader of the Dadahar people with a solemn look on his face, and said, "Red fox, the devil is coming, do you Dadahar people want to give up our land to the devil, it's time to make a decision." ”
The female leader did not rush to answer, but asked, "How many people have come?" ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "I haven't had time to ask about this yet." ”
As he spoke, he yelled behind him a few times, calling the sentries over.
"How many of them are there?"
"I counted, it should be twenty." The sentry replied.
Hearing that there were only twenty people on the other side, he scared them like this, and the young man's face turned blue with anger.
"Waste, twenty people scared you like this."
Kicks the sentry to the ground.
The hapless sentry was beaten up and carried down by his companions.
"There are only twenty people on the other side, and it seems that they don't need the help of our Dadahars." The female leader laughed.
The old wizard nodded and said, "Rabbit on the stone, you old warriors go to meet the enemy, and we De'ang people will never give in to the devil." ”
The young man nodded, and immediately went to gather his men and prepare to defend his homeland.
After the mission climbed a small hill again, it suddenly listened.
"Do you smell it?" He Tie asked.
The others sniffed and said, "It's the smell of smoke." ”
He Tie nodded and said, "It seems that we are very close to the target, everyone be careful, don't be attacked by these wild people." ”
The crowd nodded, moving closer to each other.
After the mission continued to walk for twenty minutes, they finally saw the tribe in the valley, this tribe did seem to be quite large, but for the Xia people, who were accustomed to seeing huge cities, this place was not even as good as a village in the Xia country.
He Tie looked at the foot of the mountain and said, "It seems that they have already noticed that we have arrived, and there are still many people who greet us." ”
The rest of the people couldn't help laughing, and said, "These people, no matter how much they come, a grenade will go down and send them to heaven." ”
"Leave four people here to answer, if there is an accident, you will come and meet us immediately, check the fire fold and grenades, there is no problem, the rest of the people will come with me." He Tie said in a deep voice.
After a while of Suosuo's inspection, the four of them quietly lurked, while He Tie led the sixteen people towards the bottom of the mountain.
When the savages saw the figure coming down from the hillside, they were immediately nervous, although the other party seemed to have only a dozen people, but the rumors had already demonized the sailors, even if the number was small, the pressure on them was extremely great.
The armor He Tie was wearing was shining in the sunlight, with a cold metallic texture, which made people who were still in the Stone Age stunned for a while.
The mission stopped when it was still a dozen meters away from the natives.
And the hundreds of warriors of the natives, facing an enemy whose number was far less than their own side, but none of them dared to step forward, and the scene looked very strange.
"We are the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, call your leader out to reply." He Tie shouted loudly.
It's just that the official words of Xia Guo, these natives can't understand it at all, and they look at each other for a while, not knowing what those strange people on the other side are saying.
It was another problem of language barriers, which made He Tie scratch his head a little, glanced at the natives on the other side, and finally fixed his gaze on the old wizard.
This old man had decorations on his head that the rest of the natives did not have, thinking that he was a person of high status, He Tie pointed to the old witch and motioned for him to come over.
Seeing that the enemy was so disrespectful to their leader, the native warriors were furious, and the young men roared and raised their arms and shouted.
He Tie saw that the group of savages on the opposite side suddenly went crazy, and the secret path was not good, so he hurriedly retreated, and more than a dozen people quickly formed a defensive formation, staring at the savages on the opposite side vigilantly.
Just as the angry natives were about to fight with the mission, the old wizard's voice suddenly came, "Warriors, calm down, I see that these devils want to talk to me, and I want to hear what they can say." ”
"Wizard, this is too dangerous." The young man hurriedly dissuaded.
The old wizard shook his head and said, "Rabbit on the stone, I am already old, death is nothing to fear for me, if I am robbed of my life by the devil, the people of De'ang will be led by you." ”
"Wizard!"
The young man's eyes were red and he knelt in front of the old wizard.
"Rise up, my child, the best warriors of the De'ang people will not shed tears, and the spirit of the totem will bless my people." The old wizard said in a deep voice.
The young man nodded heavily, got up and said, "Wizard, I'll go with you." ”
The old wizard shook his head and said, "You stay, the Dadahar people are not reliable, you have to be careful of them." ”
The young man glanced at the female leader and nodded.
The old wizard stroked the top of the young man's head, took a deep breath, and walked in the direction of the mission under the gaze of everyone.
When He Tie saw the old man coming alone, he asked the others to let down their guard, walked out of the team and stood face to face with the old wizard.
"Messenger of the devil, what are you doing here, you are not welcome here." The old wizard said in a deep voice.
He Tie scratched his head, and secretly said that this old thing is talking about something, and he can't understand it, how can he talk about it.
In the end, he could only reluctantly use a knife to draw a painting on the ground that was more famous in the Xia Kingdom, and this painting was used on Fang Shao's body at the beginning.
The meaning of this painting is to live on his knees, to die while standing, which is easy to understand, and he who lives in Yancheng has naturally seen this painting.
The old man stared at the picture, and suddenly became furious, this is a naked humiliation, how can the warriors of the De'ang people grovel to the devil.
"If you want our warriors to kneel for you, it's impossible, if you want to fight, then fight!" The old man glared angrily.
Although He Tie didn't understand what the old man said, he could see from his expression and movements that the conversation had collapsed this time, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his steps slowly retreated.
"Warriors of the De'ang, defend our land with your blood, great totemic spirits, who will not bow their heads to the devil, take your weapons, and drive out this group of devil's messengers." The old wizard yelled at the people.
The De'ang people roared angrily, and the young men of the tribe quickly gathered in this direction.
"What's going on, it doesn't look good!" The people in the mission looked at He Tie and asked.
"The talks have collapsed, there are too many of them, and we are ready to retreat." As He Tie spoke, his right hand touched the grenade hanging from his waist.
"Chief, what are we going to do?" Seeing that the De'ang people were so angry, the earth rat asked the red fox.
"We're a little farther away, these people are not simple." The red fox squinted at He Tie and them.
The earth rat nodded, and motioned for his people to quietly assemble here.
"For the sake of the totemic spirit, kill these devils, the warriors of the De'ang people, kill me!" The young man roared and rushed towards He Tie and them with a stone axe.
"Grenade cover, let's get out of here!" He Tie yelled.
The people who had been prepared for a long time lit the grenades before He Tie's words fell, and the three grenades flew in the air to the crowd opposite.
The young man sneered at the sight of these men throwing strange stones at him, and he nimbly dodged the stones, and rushed forward with great speed, and behind him the warriors of the De'ang people followed him in a chaotic manner.
But just as the young man had just run a few meters away, there was a roar behind him, and a violent explosion blew the dense crowd to the ground, and he himself staggered to the ground in the aftermath of the explosion.
The sudden change suddenly frightened these natives stupidly, and the living people, no one cared about the companions who were lying on the ground and wailing in pain, and they looked at He Tie and them in horror as if they were petrified.
"Devil, devil!" The old wizard muttered to himself with a pale face.
And the people of Dadahar were also stunned by this explosion, this is not a power that humans can control at all, this power is really terrifying, the sound, for a moment, made them feel as if the sky had collapsed.
Taking advantage of the enemy's daze, the mission quickly retreated, trotting all the way to the hillside to join up with the companions hiding there.
When they looked back, they saw that the men were not chasing them, but standing stupidly in place, like stone sculptures.
"Don't look at it, let's go back quickly, they should be frightened, if they react, we will be in danger." He Tie said quickly.
Everyone nodded, and quickly withdrew in the direction of the camp.
The crowd did not dare to delay, and they ran all the way non-stop, and it only took an hour to return to the camp.
When Wei Ming saw the mission running towards this side panting, he knew that something must have happened, and hurriedly sent people to answer it.
After He Tie and the others returned to the camp, Wei Ming hurriedly asked, "Don't those wild people plan to return to obedience?" ”
He Tie nodded and said, "Well, the wild man has a very tough attitude. ”
"Since they want to die, then I will fulfill them." looked at Zhao Tong on the side, and said loudly: "Zhao Tong, pass the order, order everyone to prepare, tomorrow dawn, exterminate these wild people, and let the brothers enjoy the women." ”
"Subordinates obey!" Zhao Tong saluted and immediately went to prepare.
This negotiation between the expedition team and the savages can no longer be called a negotiation, they look at the backward humans here with a condescending attitude, Xia Guo is willing to accept them, they must feel honored, and they have not considered the question of whether others are willing or not.
The expansion of the Xia Kingdom, since the extermination of the most powerful five tribes, the human beings encountered are all real savages with no civilization, these people do not have any civilization, and there is no resistance to naturalization.
But the people here are different, although they have not yet reached the level of civilization, they already have their own culture and beliefs, which are human tribes that the Xia Kingdom has not encountered in the process of expansion.
The tribe of the De'ang people, after He Tie and the others left, a thick fear enveloped everyone's hearts, and the power of the grenade explosion gave them a deep sense of powerlessness, such a powerful force was simply something that flesh and blood could resist.
So many of his own people died and suffered heavy casualties before they even approached the enemy's side, and the torn stump looked shocking.
The rabbit on the stone sat on the ground decadently, he really felt scared, he had never realized that death was so close to him, if he ran slower at that time, would he still survive, he knew that the answer was no.
He is the most powerful warrior of the tribe, and it is conceivable that this incident will be a devastating blow to the psychology of others.
With so many people in the tribe, they couldn't even fight against a dozen people on the other side, not to mention that there were so many people at the foot of the mountain, and the young man knew that his tribe was finished.
