Kill these outsiders, the Cuman desert does not belong to them, but to the brave Megherah! Destroy them, drive them away, the Cumans do not need the rule of outsiders!

In the endless desert, thousands of knights in white Arab robes on camels rushed out from behind a sand dune, brandishing their scimitars and shouting, towards a neat formation of thousands of people across from them.

This neat queue, wearing a red fitted uniform, was none other than the army of the Song Empire.

The standard-bearer in the team had already erected the imperial flag high, and the five-star red flag that Zhao Hongyu had decided to use as the national flag was vibrating with the wind at this moment.

With the support of the Empire, Siwicks' strategy in Hungary is progressing very well, and as long as the mercenary group sent by the church can be defeated, then it will be able to obtain a stable period of more than half a year.

It can be said that the Cairo Intelligence Department selected Siwicks to support it, which was a very wise choice.

Compared with the progress of the rebel army in Cairo, there was a little trouble after the loan agreement with the Ottomans and the ownership of the Cuman desert area.

De jure, the desert region of Cuman was already considered the territory of the empire.

Because the rulers here were Ottomans in the first place, but the Ottomans were now short of money, so in order to borrow a large amount of money from the Empire, they took out the Cumans and gave them to the Empire as a gift.

Anyway, the Cuman Desert is a completely barren land for the Ottomans.

There's nothing to produce here, and there's nothing of value here.

Therefore, there is nothing distressing to take it out and give it to the Song Empire.

Now he can use it to curry favor with the Song Empire, gain the favor of the Song Empire, and successfully borrow the money he needs is also considered waste utilization.

However, although the Ottomans took the Cuman out, the Ottomans were also a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Don't look at the Cuman region, which is completely a world of yellow sand. It was not allowed to be cultivated and there were no mineral resources, but even then it was land ruled by the Ottomans.

In order to gain the right to rule here, the Ottomans also fought with the Arab tribes of the Cuman region here, and paid a lot of price.

But the Song Empire has nothing to lose now, and it completely owns this place.

The Ottomans, of course, would have felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

However, the Ottomans selectively forgot that this was not forced by the Song Empire to give it, but they themselves rushed to take out the Cuman region to give to the Empire.

The shameless Ottomans, after removing the defenders and officials of the Cumans, as well as the tax collectors, created a power vacuum in the Cumans.

Actually, it's nothing like that. Anyway, after the army of the Song Empire was stationed, it was just a change of ruler, and it was no different for the Arab tribes living here.

As long as the rules of the Ottoman era are maintained, isn't everything going to be business as usual?

However, the Ottomans secretly acted badly, provoking hidden tribal hatred between the garrisons, causing a dispute between the tribes to break out, and then forming a war that swept all the tribes in the Cuman region.

At the same time, the three largest tribes in the Cuman region. It was also at the instigation of the Ottomans that ambitions arose, and it was decided to become the ruler of the Cuman region.

As for the nominal and de jure owners of the Song Empire, the three major tribes that are now fascinated by ambition have not thought about it at all.

In their opinion. The so-called Song Empire knows where it came from.

Moreover, the Ottomans mentioned that the Song Empire was a country far away from Cuman, and it was simply impossible to send too many troops to station here.

Therefore, as long as the three major tribes decide the winner. Then the tribe that finally controls the Cumans will definitely be able to expel the so-called Song Empire.

Although the Cuman region is small, it is very attractive to be able to become the dominant tribe of the region.

Especially on the Ottoman side. It was also implied that if it could succeed, then the victorious tribe would be allowed to form a kingdom formed by the Arabs.

This is a kingdom!

How can it not be tempting.

Moreover, the three major tribes can take advantage of this opportunity to annex other small and medium-sized tribes to strengthen themselves.

Even if the war is lost here in the Cuman region, it is possible to move to other places with the tribe at that time, right?

It was precisely because of this factor that the Cuman region was quickly swept up by a storm of large tribes annexing small and medium-sized tribes, except for those tribes who had been seduced by the Ottomans in the early days and had already migrated to Ottoman-controlled territory with their entire tribes.

Moreover, by now, the three major tribes of the Cuman region have completed the preliminary preparations for war, and all the small and medium-sized tribes have been annexed or destroyed.

Of course, it would be inaccurate to say all of them, because here in the Cuman region, there is only a confederation of Bedouin tribes that has not yet been annexed or destroyed.

As long as even this Bedouin tribal alliance is resolved by the three tribes, then the war in the Cuman region will begin.

No one thought that the Bedouins would be able to support it, after all, the three major tribes that the Bedouins faced, any one of them was much stronger than them.

Whether it's the wealth and population of the tribe, or the warriors.

The tribal union of the Bedouins is completely incomparable.

Many people believe that it is a matter of time before this tribal union of the Bedouins is solved by the three major tribes.

If anything, it is that I don't know if the Bedouin Tribal Confederation was annexed or completely wiped out in this desert world.

If they are annexed, I don't know if they will be annexed by the three major tribes?

It can be seen that no one here can be optimistic about the Bedouins at all.

Even the Bedouins themselves are depressed about this.

However, the Bedouins are stubborn at heart, and although the enemies they face are very strong, it is impossible to make them submit like this.

They would rather fight the enemy until the last moment than just grovel.

This is not what the Bedouin hierarchy meant. Rather, it means that the entire Bedouin tribe unites all people, including ordinary tribesmen.

The stubbornness and pride in the bones of the Bedouins are sometimes incomprehensible.

But you have to admire them.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Bedouins have been passed down to the present day in the desert world of the jungle.

There is also a part of the Bedouin who are optimistic compared to the depressed among the Bedouins.

Not with the depressed faction, optimistic that they can't just perish like this.

Nor will they be like the depressed faction, despairing of hope, and preparing to fight to the death with the three major tribes.

People like Omar, the chief of the Bajir tribe, are more optimistic about the current situation.

He believes that although the situation in Cuman is very bad now. But it may well also be an opportunity for the Bedouins.

If this opportunity can be seized, it is not impossible to restore the glory and reputation of the Bedouin ancestors.

Moreover, he is not blindly optimistic, and has a detailed plan and reliance on it in his heart.

First of all, Chief Omar knew some of the reasons for the Ottomans' withdrawal from Cuman, and also heard some information about the new ruler after the Ottomans left.

He didn't know where the Song Empire was, but from the merchants who had been to Cairo and had come into contact with the Song Empire, Chief Omar had heard a lot about the people of the Song Empire.

Their goods are very beautiful. The warriors are very well armed...... From this, it is judged whether the Song Empire is strong or not.

Of course, this is just a judgment.

But these words alone could not make Chief Omar make the decision to defect to the Song Empire. What really made him make this decision was a message from a European businessman.

Although several countries in the Mediterranean are vying for hegemony. As a result, maritime trade has been disrupted.

But there are still some merchants from Europe who come to Arabia to do business in Arabia at great risk.

After all, the more wars there are, the higher the profits, right?

And coincidentally. The European merchant who spent three days in the oasis controlled by the Bajir tribe spent time in Manhattan in the Song Empire in the Americas.

So, from the mouth of this guy. Chief Omar learned a few things about the Song Empire, especially the Song Empire's powerful army and warships.

In particular, the Song Empire's participation in the 'Volunteer Army' in the early stage of the European War made Chief Omar make up his mind that he must defect to the Song Empire.

Besides, Chief Omar also had a plan in mind.

That is, he knew the Cuman region, which was far away from the Song Empire. And the Song Empire really can't send too many troops to be stationed here, so the Song Empire definitely needs local tribes to help them maintain stability here.

As long as the Bedouins choose to take refuge, then the Song people will definitely spare no effort to support and support them.

When the time comes, won't the status of the Bedouins be raised?

At the same time, it goes without saying that there are more benefits to be gained.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Song Empire can help them fight or defeat the three major tribes.

Otherwise, this plan is a fantasy.

However, considering that I heard that the army of the Song Empire was so strong, it should be possible to deal with the three major tribes.

Even if his plan fails in the end, can't he still leave Cuman and go to Cairo?

I have to say that Omar is really shrewd and can.

He inquired clearly, Cairo's concession was rich and the environment was very good.

If you leave Cuman, there is nothing wrong with going anywhere.

Look, people have even chosen this kind of back road.

When everything was planned, Omar informed the other Bedouin elders and chiefs of his plan, which was unanimously approved.

So, there was the fact that the exerciser appeared in Cairo.

After seeing the traveler and hearing about the situation in the Cuman region, the governor of the Cairo Concession, Ma Bangde, immediately sent an imperial army of 4,000 men to march towards the Cumen.

After this imperial army entered the Cuman Desert, their whereabouts were of course known to the three major tribes.

In response, the three tribes each sent cavalry to strangle the Imperial Army.

Hence this encounter in the desert...... (To be continued......)
