Chapter 537: Cook - Eagle
The Indians, who were hiding in the grass, wanted to preemptively attack the genetic people who were logging because of their nervousness and apprehension, which was simply looking for death.
Although they can attack the genetic people by surprise, they are only five of them after all.
The genetics who were logging the wood, although they didn't find the threat hidden in the grass, there were more than a hundred of them.
It is predictable that even if the five Indians launch a surprise attack, they will not be able to please them in the end.
Failure is bound to be their final end.
Fortunately, the man named 'Eagle', who seemed to have more authority among the five, stopped his companions from making rash moves.
"We don't know if they're enemies yet, maybe they don't have malicious intent."
Lowering his voice, the eagle said to his companions.
"But what if the other side is an enemy? It's already close to our tribe and we can't risk it. ”
A companion retorted.
The eagle's gaze fell on the companion, and he said very seriously, "There are a lot of people on the other side, do you think just the five of us can kill them all?" ”
As soon as he said this, the companion immediately stopped talking.
Yes, there were only five of them anyway, but there were far more people on the other side.
Therefore, even if they attack beforehand, it is unlikely to be of much use.
"If the other side has no malicious intentions, but if we launch an attack, it is likely that the other party will become our enemy, do you want to see such an outcome?"
The Eagle is the top warrior in the Cook tribe, and he has a high prestige within the tribe.
These days, in the wars of the tribe abroad, the performance of the eagle is also unusually prominent.
It was thanks to his leadership that the tribe won several conflicts. This also established him as a hero in the tribe in one fell swoop.
The companions who followed him out to hunt today were all people who were conquered by his bravery, so after the eagle said this, everyone fell silent.
To know that being a hero is not only about having courage, but also about having a smart brain.
Only courage and cleverness can be a hero.
Just having courage but not intelligence is just a reckless man.
The eagle happens to be a warrior of the Cook tribe with courage and intelligence.
So, he thinks about things. I want to think more than my companions.
It is precisely because of this that there are many young people in the tribe who are very convinced of him, and at the same time, the elders of the tribe are also assured that he will lead the warriors of the tribe to fight with other tribes.
The eagle's current consideration is very simple, that is, it is very irrational to rashly launch an attack without determining that the other party is the enemy.
If the other party does not have the slightest malice, then the act of launching an attack by yourself will offend people.
When the time comes, it is likely that the other side will turn into an enemy. A new opponent has been added to the Horde.
The Cook tribe was originally a small tribe with a population of about 2,000 people.
In the recent battle for hunting grounds, it has actually been in a state of disadvantage.
Although he led the defeat of several attacks by hostile tribes, those tribes were small tribes in their own right. There are also not many fighters. So it's normal to win, but as time goes by, the big tribes will slowly split the winners and losers, and when the time comes, they will be against those tribes.
This is very detrimental to the Cook tribe.
Plus those small tribes that were defeated by the Cook tribe. They are also likely to take refuge in the Great Tribes.
Wait until the small tribes that have taken refuge in the big tribes have attracted reinforcements from the big tribes.
At that time, it was not something that the Cook tribe could deal with.
The eagle has been very worried about this matter. At the same time, it is also very thorough.
It's just that although he also gave some advice to the elders of the clan, asking the elders to move to the tribe and find a large tribe to join them, so that they can have a way out in the future.
However, the tribal elders did not agree at all.
They believe that this land has been settled by their ancestors for a long time, so even if they die, they must protect the land and the glory of their ancestors.
But Eagle had a different view, he thought about how to keep the tribe alive and let the people of the tribe try to avoid casualties in this large-scale conflict.
Only by surviving can there be hope for the future.
If the tribe is routed and the men are killed, then what hope is there.
The wars between Indian tribes were very cruel and bloody.
When one tribe defeats another, the adult men of the defeated tribe are executed, leaving only the women and the children.
Even some boys will be slaughtered.
The reason for this is actually to avoid the retaliation of the other party when they grow up.
Although this practice is primitive and cruel, it is effective.
The Cook tribe did no less than that.
However, against large tribes, Cook is nothing at all.
A tribe of 2,000 people may seem like a small one, but with the old man and the children, and the women and girls, there are only two or three hundred warriors who can fight.
But in a large tribe, there are a thousand people in a random dispatch.
Against such an enemy, Cook would not have won at all.
In fact, the Indians living on the American continent were very primitive in technology, and their wars were basically hand-to-hand combat with sticks and wooden spears, so in such primitive social warfare, the number of people became a measure of victory and defeat.
San Francisco is located on the western side of the Americas, and it has not yet been visited by white people.
Therefore, the Indians living here, the weapons they use are still very primitive and rudimentary.
It is not at all comparable to the Indians on the east coast, after all, the Indians on the east coast have been in contact with the Europeans for more than 100 years, and they have exchanged furs and various supplies from the Europeans for inferior iron weapons.
This is unmatched by our compatriots on the West Coast.
The logging gene people carry a long machete around their waists.
This kind of machete is based on the combination of the historical horizontal knife and the waist knife of the Miao people, which is rich in some scientific and technological concepts of later generations, and is polished with high-precision machines, so it is very sharp.
Such weapons. It's an eagle they've never seen before.
Sunlight shines through the dense forest foliage.
Inadvertently, it will shoot on the machete, and the edge of the knife will be reflected brightly.
"Eagle, are we going back to the tribe now?"
One of the other companions, when he saw that the eagle had stopped them, asked in a low voice.
Yes, now they can't attack each other, but they can't be sure if they are enemies, and their numbers are still very small, which is dangerous if they are discovered by the other side. So the best thing for them to do is to get out of here and go back to the tribe to inform the elders of the tribe.
Or, gather the warriors of the tribe and kill them with the advantage of numbers.
The eagle had a serious expression, and it was obvious that he was also thinking about what to do next.
He had a headache now, and he was a little reluctant to go back to the tribe.
After all, if you can't be sure if the other party is an enemy, rashly informing the tribe will cause panic within the tribe.
If the elders were hot-headed and gave some orders, then everything would be irreparable.
So. Now the eagle felt that what he had to do was to determine if these strangers were enemies and if they had malicious intentions.
Only after identifying this problem can they make the right choice.
Today, the region is in turmoil. A small tribe cannot make a wrong choice.
Because, a wrong choice often means that the tribe may disappear in the future.
Therefore, the hero had to be cautious.
"You quietly dispersed into the distance. I'm going to go out and reach out to these strangers to see if they have any ill intentions. If anything happens to me, you quickly disperse and return to the tribe. Let everyone be prepared. ”
Eventually, the eagle decided to get out of the grass on his own and get in touch with the logging genetics.
Just in case, the eagle had his four companions spread out and go farther away.
Of course, these companions must pay attention to their contact with each other, and if something goes wrong on their side, then they can quickly withdraw and leave, and then return to the tribe to inform the tribe.
In the current situation, this is the only way to deal with it.
Of course, the eagle also knew that it would be very dangerous for him to do so, and he might even take his own life.
But, as a hero in the tribe, he had to step up and do something for those in the tribe at such a moment.
Unlike the elders of the tribe, the eagle is genuinely concerned about the tribe.
Moreover, he does not have the slightest selfishness.
But if he had a little selfishness, then he wouldn't have thought of this way.
Or, just let your companions go out.
But he didn't make such a choice, and he was still ready to go out and contact with the genetic people himself.
It must be said that the hero is a noble person.
"Eagle, it will be dangerous for you to do this, if the other party has malicious intentions then you will die."
After listening to the eagle's arrangement, the four companions all shook their heads in unison, and they all agreed with the eagle's arrangement.
At the same time, the convincing of the eagle in my heart has increased a lot.
"Listen to me, we have no choice in this situation." , the eagle insisted unmoved. "Don't say anything more now, immediately disperse and hide farther away, don't let the other party find out about you, I'll be out of the road in a while, if you don't want me to have an accident, you can do what I say immediately."
Although he said so, the eagle's heart was also warm.
He knew that these four companions were really thinking about themselves.
But he couldn't help it. (To be continued......)
