As the chief of the Rushel tribe, the most powerful of the Nubian tribes, Zubal has been distraught these days.

The forty-six-year-old man, once Nubia's foremost warrior and leader, led the Russell tribe to become the largest tribe in Nubia, now sits alone in a tent in contemplation. The source of Zubbar's troubles was Palchi, and since the news came that Arul IX had appointed his son-in-law Li Tianhao as the commander-in-chief of the campaign against Nubia, the Nubian tribes had to reunite against the crusade, and as the leader of the strongest tribe, Zubal was elected leader of the alliance.

But this alliance leader is not easy to be, first of all, although the Russell tribe is strong, it is not the kind that occupies an absolute advantage, and several other tribes such as the Derby tribe and the Shanda tribe are not inferior to their own tribes, and the chiefs of these tribes are not obedient to themselves, but only temporarily bow to themselves because of the current enemy, not to mention the enmity between the tribes that leads to continuous internal friction, and Zubal is about to exhaust his mental strength just to quell internal disputes. If the Palchi did attack, it would be possible to turn this force into the courage to fight, and let the various divisions compete on the battlefield. But the strange thing is that it has been more than a month since the news came, but Li Tianhao is still nesting in the royal capital of Nierlu City and does not come out, and there is no sign of the troops on the border gathering. The food of the remote tribes has been unable to be sufficiened, and many leaders have begun to complain. If the enemy does not come again, I am afraid that the Palci will not have to do it. The whole alliance itself will collapse.

If it were only these problems, Zubal might have been able to deal with it, and that afternoon, Zuball received news that Agobar, the eldest son of the Derby chief, seemed to have secretly returned to Nubia. Agobar had been defeated at the Palci Imperial Tournament a few months earlier, and then joined Li Tianhao's command. At this time, his sudden return, without further investigation, can understand that he is a lobbyist for Li Tianhao. If he convinces his father to strike the army, the alliance may not be sustainable, and if he instigates a Derby rebellion, it is more likely to turn into a Nubian infighting. So Zubbar must not allow this to happen.

But the Derby Department is powerful, and Agobar is a famous giant warrior, even if he strikes first, I'm afraid the odds of winning are not very good. Zubal thought about it and thought it would be better to take advantage of the Sanda tribe who had a feud with the Derby. The Sanda tribe and the Derby Department have been fighting for a long time, and they have never decided the winner, if they let the Sanda Department and the Derby Department fight, they can unite with the Sanda Department to suppress the Derby Department and eliminate this unstable factor. As long as the Derby Chief and Agobar are controlled, then this force can be kept to their own use.

When the plan stalled, Zubal called his son Zukar and asked him to contact the Derby Department to explain the situation of the Derby Department and join the Shan Department to raid the Derby Department camp. It wasn't long after Zukar took the order and left. The Shhinda sent an emissary saying that the chief had agreed to Zubair's request and attacked the Derby tonight as promised. However, just in case, Zukar is invited to stay in the Sanda tribe as a guest for the time being.

This old fox. Zubbar cursed in his heart. But now at this juncture, Zubar didn't want to make any more trouble, after all, it was the right thing to control the living forces to fight against Palci.

Late that night. Zubal's 700 soldiers crept into the camp of the Derby, apparently unaware. There was silence in the camp. But after waiting for a long time, the people of Shandabu did not arrive, and Zubar began to get anxious. His own army can unknowingly touch the Derby Department's nose, somewhat of a bit of luck, if it is discovered by the Derby Department for a long time, it will be wasted. At the moment, the Derby Department was defenseless, and it seemed that he would have no problem acting alone, so Zubal decided to attack immediately.

Soon after touching the camp, Zubal noticed that something was wrong, the camp was empty!

Worst! The Derby Department is on guard!

Zubal knew something was wrong and immediately ordered a retreat. It's a pity that it's too late, I saw a sudden fire all around, and the people in the Derby Department came from all directions!

Zubbar was not flustered by this. You must know that the number of people in the derby department is not as large as their own, and with this kind of formation surrounded on all sides, then their lineup must be very thin, and it is not difficult to break through. Zubal calmly analyzed the situation and immediately decided to break through from the weakest point of the enemy's offensive on the western flank.

The breakout operation went very smoothly, and the fighters of Russel's division were well-trained and acted effectively, and soon broke through the encirclement of the enemy army. But before they could catch their breath, the front and left sides suddenly burst into flames again, and a large army surrounded them in the middle, and the soldiers of the Derby Department in the back just blocked the retreat, and the people of the Ruther Department were completely surrounded, and there was nowhere to escape.

A man came out of the opposing formation and shouted in Nubian: "Down there is Captain Hector of Parchwan!" Please speak up to Lord Zubhar of the Ruthel tribe! ”

The blow to Zubhar's heart at this time was indescribable. Palci! Haven't they left the royal capital yet? How is it already here?

Looking around by the light of the fire, sure enough, except for the Derby people behind him, the rest of the enemy troops were all dressed as Palci cavalry, and the number was three thousand! Zubal knew the strength of the Palci cavalry, it was the King's Guard, and the combat effectiveness was by no means comparable to his own infantry, not to mention that both the number and the situation were unfavorable, if he wanted to fight hard, there would only be one massacre left, and then the Russell Department would almost be completely wiped out. At that moment Zubal had no choice but to step forward and say in Palci: "Down there is Zubair, what does Lord Hector have to say?" ”

Hector smiled slightly and said, "There are a few things to announce to Your Excellency. First, your troops have been surrounded by our army, and my commander has instructed you not to increase the useless killings, so I ask your troops to surrender. Second, the Sanda Department that your ministry has contacted has also been attached to Palci along with the Derby Department, and Ling Lang is a guest in the Sanda Department camp, so please don't worry about his safety. Thirdly, my commander said that the purpose of this expedition was not to conquer Nubia or to show off his might, but to take the opportunity of sending troops to bring together the leaders of the Nubian tribes in order to propose peace conditions for our country. I hope that Lord Zubar will listen to the conditions offered by our side, and then convey them to the leaders as the leader of the alliance, if all parties can accept this condition and sign the alliance, Palci will withdraw the troops immediately, and from now on the contradictions between the two sides can be implemented in accordance with the treaty, and all kinds of unpleasant incidents on the border between the two sides can be avoided in the future. ”

Zubal smiled bitterly: "In this case, do I have the right to refuse?" ”

Zubal reluctantly listened to Hektor's account, but with Hektor's narration, Zubar's face changed, originally he thought that Palch would put forward all kinds of harsh demands to suppress the Nubians, but Li Tianhao's conditions turned out to be that he hoped to hire Nubian warriors to fight for him, and then use all kinds of materials that Nubia needed as payment, and even provide personnel to help Nubia with agricultural infrastructure and road construction, so as to help Nubia become rich and strong. When he had heard it all, Zubal agreed without saying a word. At this time, he finally understood why the two feuding tribes of Derby and Sanda had joined Palci, and under such conditions the leader of Nubia could not have refused as long as he had a little brain.

Ten days later, after the Nubian ministries signed a peace treaty with Palci, Palci withdrew his troops from Nubian territory.

In this way, Li Tianhao did not leave the palace of Palchi, and it took only two months to pacify the entire territory of Nubia. Since then, Nubia has been a vassal state of Palchi for more than 100 years, and there has been no border conflict with Palchi. Not only that, but Nubia abandoned the hunting life and began to live a life of agriculture and pastoralism, and established a state. Nearly 700 years later, Nubia continued its prosperity as the only agro-pastoral power founded by the black race. (To be continued......)
