Chapter 391: The Native Visit
The arrival of the Xia people broke the peaceful life of the natives, and the De'ang people faced the strong Xia expedition team, although the performance was tough, but the disparity in strength made them not see a little hope.
The Dadahars, on the other hand, were somewhat glad that their tribe did not clash with them, so there was room for dΓ©tente.
The old wizard had already told himself about the demands of those people, and those outsiders demanded that the mountain people submit to them, which was also a difficult thing for the Dadahar people to accept, but looking at the arrogant attitude of those outsiders, if they did not submit to them, then what would happen to their tribe.
The old wizard said that those people were the messengers of the devil, and the red fox did not believe it, as the leader and the witch, she only said to the gods and ghosts in her heart but did not believe much.
She hadn't been guided by the gods for so many years, not even the slightest sign of it, and she was sure that the outsiders were just a very strong group of humans.
The warriors of Red Fox and Dadahar remained in the tribe of the De'ang for the time being, and before she made up her mind, she thought it would be wise to stand with the De'ang for the time being, and if the outsiders intended to eradicate all the mountain people, then it would be safer for the two tribes to unite together.
But she still intends to leave a way back for her tribe, and she plans to send people tonight to contact those people to show that the Dadahar people have no malicious intentions, and if those people are sensible, then surrender can at least preserve the bloodline of the tribe.
Clearing his mind, Red Fox called the earth rat to his side.
"Chief!" The earth rat said respectfully.
"You will find a few wise people from the tribesmen, let them go down the mountain while it is dark, and when you see those people, you want them to explain that we are not the same tribe as the De'ang people, and even we can cooperate with them to eradicate the De'ang people, as long as they can leave the hunting grounds of the De'ang people to us, we can submit to them." Red Fox said slowly.
When the earth rat heard this, he was immediately shocked, "Chief, although the De'ang people are our feud, but those people are outsiders after all, and we still have so many strong warriors, we may not lose to them." β
The red fox's face sank, and he said: "Stupid, you have also seen the situation today, they can master the power of the heavenly thunder, is this something we can fight against, if you don't want the tribe to be destroyed, just do what I say, the life or death of the De'ang people has nothing to do with us." β
The earth rat's chest rose and fell, his face was very ugly, and his heart was very atmospheric.
Seeing this, the red fox said coldly: "Earth rat, do you want to disobey my orders? β
The earth rat struggled for a while and said, "The earth rat doesn't dare. β
The red fox nodded and said, "In that case, you don't do what I tell you quickly, remember, don't let the De'ang people find out." β
The earth rat nodded, turned and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
At the foot of the mountain, the expedition strengthened the strength of the guards, the camp ambushed and set up a horse rejection, and groups of sailors went back and forth to patrol the vicinity of the camp.
At night, the clouds obscured the moonlight, only a little starlight was scattered, and the mountains and forests were pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers, and I heard the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.
A few sneaky figures, hiding on the hillside and looking at the fire-lit camp below, looked at them for a long time before they made up their minds and walked down.
The monkey, as the second night watchman, yawned boredly in the procession, and the thief's eyes looked around, and when his eyes looked at the hillside, he was slightly stunned, rubbed his eyes, and cried out: "There are enemies, there are enemies." β
He shouted all his life, which immediately frightened the others, and the camp suddenly became chaotic.
"When! While! While! The sound of the gong suddenly resounded through the camp.
The sleeping sailor was awakened from his sleep, opened his eyes, hurriedly dressed himself, and ran towards the outside of the camp.
Wei Ming yelled: "Don't mess around, if anyone runs around again, Lao Tzu will slash him." β
Wei Ming's threat seemed to have an effect, and the panicked sailors gradually calmed down, holding their weapons, and cautiously approaching the people around them, and the sailors spontaneously formed a team, back to back, staring around vigilantly.
In this dark night, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and if there is chaos, there is a high probability of cannibalism.
Calm gradually returned to the camp, and Wei Ming shouted: "Who shouted just now, stand up for me." β
People looked at each other and looked at each other.
The monkey swallowed his saliva, walked out tremblingly, and said, "Captain, yes... I shouted. β
Wei Ming squinted his eyes and said, "What about the enemy, where is the enemy, if there is no enemy, I will bring you to justice for disturbing the army's heart." β
The monkey was startled, disturbing the morale of the army was a serious crime, and said in a panic: "Captain, I really saw the enemy, they were on the hillside before, I didn't lie." β
Wei Ming Dynasty looked at the hillside, only to see a black piece on the hillside, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Just in case, Wei Ming called a squad of soldiers to take torches and go to the hillside to check.
"Come on, take him down for me, and don't let him leave half a step until the search team returns." Wei Ming looked at the monkey and said coldly.
The monkey was so anxious that he was about to cry, looking at He Tie in the crowd, but He Tie was also anxious but there was no way at all, it wasn't him on duty just now, and he couldn't confirm the monkey's words, Zhizhi nodded at the monkey, signaling him not to resist, and now Zhizhi expects the patrol team to have a harvest.
Dozens of people patrolled along the foot of the mountain towards the hillside of the mountain, in the dark night, the search progress was very slow, for the sake of safety, the search team members were not very far together, if an accident occurred, the surrounding companions could also quickly support over.
Those sneaky figures, pale and hiding in the grass, looked at the figures approaching this side little by little, and their hearts were extremely frightened.
The place where those outsiders were stationed just now was suddenly extremely noisy, and at that moment they were so frightened that they almost lost their souls and subconsciously hid.
They originally planned to escape, but remembered that the matter explained by the leader had not yet been completed, but because they were still afraid of those outsiders, they hid in the grass, and neither advanced nor retreated.
Seeing that the outsiders would soon be able to walk up to them, and that it would be useless to hide any longer, the men whispered a few words of deliberation, and then raised their hands and stood up from the grass.
The sudden appearance of the figure startled the patrol members, and they almost drew their knives and were about to cut them.
But when he saw these men raise their hands, they put down their swords and shouted, "You have found the enemy, come quickly." β
The rest of the patrol quickly gathered here and surrounded the trio.
Soon, the three were escorted back to the camp by patrol members.
"Captain, only the three of them have been found." One person reports.
Wei Ming nodded and said, "The rest of the people should be on guard. As he spoke, he looked at the monkey and said, "Let him go!" β
When the monkey heard this, he sat on the ground as if he had been amnesty, and his back was already soaked with the nervousness just now, and when the evening breeze blew, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The three natives were trembling and leaning together, their bodies trembling, and they could see their incomparable fear at the moment.
Wei Ming had the three men brought to the fire, and the sailor put his foot on their calf and knelt down on his knee.
Only these three natives were found, these people obviously did not come to attack them, and when the sailors found them, these three people did not escape, which made him a little surprised, he knew that such a dark night, running into the woods, he couldn't do anything about them, and he was very curious about the purpose of their coming here.
Sitting on a stone, by the light of the fire, Wei Ming took a large number of these three people for a while, from the outside, except for the slightly darker skin, their appearance was no different from the Xia people, wearing tattered animal skins, probably long-term lack of food, making them look a little thin.
"What are you doing here?" Wei Ming asked.
The three of them could see that the man in front of them must be the leader of these outsiders, and when they saw him open his mouth to talk to themselves, they hurriedly told the purpose of their coming in their own words.
It's just that the unfamiliar language is extremely irritating in Wei Ming's ears.
"What kind of bird talk, the noise hurts my brain, let them draw what they want to say." Wei Ming said to the sailor beside him.
Soon the three of them were dragged down, I don't know what the sailors used, so that they understood what Wei Ming meant, but when they came back, the three of them had more or less scars on their bodies.
Wei Ming ignored these trivial things, and looked at the ground, the paintings depicted by the natives with crooked lines.
The painting on the ground is divided into several parts, the first part is a mountain forest, in different places in this mountain forest are painted with different numbers of people, two of which have the largest number of people, this meaning is already obvious, these aborigines want to express that there are many human tribes living in it, two of which are the largest in scale, and next to these two tribes there are two different animal images, Wei Ming did not understand what it meant.
The other painting is simple, there was a war between these two tribes with different animal figures.
The next painting is two zigzag lines, and in the middle of the two lines are drawn symbols that resemble the shape of a boat, combined with the shapes of those suspected mountains, which Wei Ming knows should represent his side.
After the three natives had finished drawing the stick figures, one of them pointed to one of the tribes in the first painting, then to himself, and said in the indigenous language, "This is my tribe, the Dadahars." β
Although Wei Ming didn't understand, he guessed through his actions and drawings, and nodded and motioned for him to continue.
The native pointed to the second picture and said something again, and Wei Ming directly asked him to skip this picture and continue to talk about the other.
The natives pointed to the last picture, some pointed to the Xia people around them, and some pointed to the other tribe in the first picture, clenching their hands into fists and making a fighting posture.
Wei Ming touched his chin and pondered the meaning of this, and after a while, he understood that it turned out that he had attacked another tribe.
Seeing that the leader of the outsiders seemed to understand what he meant, the native breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain.
After almost half an hour of exchanging pictures and movements, Wei Ming finally figured out why these people came.
There are two powerful tribes in this mountain forest, but these two tribes have always had contradictions, and the one that attacked them was represented by an animal that looked like a tiger but not a tiger, and a leopard but not a leopard.
And the other tribe, that is, the tribe of these three natives, wants to show some kind of kindness to himself, and he means that it is another tribe that attacked him, and it has nothing to do with their tribe, and what is more interesting is that this tribe actually wants to unite with him to destroy the tiger and leopard tribe.
"Take them down first!" Wei Ming said to his subordinates.
"Brother Zhao, do you think this matter is feasible?" Wei Ming asked.
Zhao Tong thought for a while and said: "I think it's feasible, after all, we are not familiar with here, if what those savages said is true, we can win this tribe over, it seems that the situation on this island is quite complicated, if it really starts, we are naturally not afraid, but the brothers are all thousands of miles away to come here, all waiting to go back and live a good life, if you accidentally lose your life here, you and I will not feel at ease!" β
Wei Ming nodded and said: "You are right, killing those wild people is just a last resort, we will not attack them for the time being tomorrow, but these wild people can't be fully believed, they think well, they still want to use us as spearmen, if there is a regular army here, I will definitely destroy them." β
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Then what are you going to do?" β
Wei Ming thought for a while and said: "In this way, tell those savages for a while, we agree to their conditions, stabilize them first, and not let these two tribes unite, on the other hand, we continue to communicate with the other one, give them one last chance, if these guys are still the same as before, then when we wave the butcher's knife, it is not immoral, these savages can be obedient, we can let them build a supply depot here, here I estimate that His Majesty should send some regular troops over, When the time comes, it will save trouble, and the scale of this island is okay, if I fight for it, I would like to come here to be an official. β
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Brother Wei thinks long-term, in that case, let's try to win over the wild people here first, leave this matter to me, and then I will be responsible for contacting that tribe." β
Wei Ming nodded and said, "Then it's hard Brother Zhao." β
When the two tribes had their own thoughts, they didn't know that their fate had been decided by someone in just a few words, the invader may have found out with his conscience, put away the butcher's knife raised high, I don't know if this is fortunate or unlucky, this may be the sorrow of being a small tribe, the tribe is the same as a country, whether it is the earth with different races, or the world dominated by humans, the weak side cannot decide its own destiny at all.
