Night is slowly falling.

Although the ritual lasted all day, the natives of the Araukan clan did not feel tired, but became more and more energetic!

With the totem pole as the center, they form a large semicircle on the seashore.

And only the young men of each family are eligible to stay in the circle, which is the special seat that belongs to the warriors.

As the moon rises, the most important moment of the sacrificial ritual has arrived.

Woohoo——!

Woohoo——!

At the sacrificial ceremonies attended by all the members of the tribe, both men and women, young and old, shouted primitively and recklessly, like animals living in groups.

The voices were heard for a long time, welcoming the most noble and powerful members of the tribe.

Sand.. Sand.. Sand..

Walking barefoot on the fine sand of the seashore.

The chieftain Mangunk wears a pair of fur shorts and a white robe of traditional fabric.

Accompanied by two shamans, one old and one young, wearing blue parrot feather crowns and colorful robes, they made their way through the crowd to the bottom of the majestic totem pole.

When the burly chief raised his hands in the air, the shouting below came to an abrupt end.

"Clansmen, I am your chieftain Mangunk.

I promise you: in the future, we will have endless food, endless wine, endless clothes... Our children will grow up safely... There is no one who can bully us anymore...

Please remember this moment, this is the starting point of the revitalization of the Araucan clan!"

The chief's exhilarating voice was like thunder, clearly reaching the ears of every clan member.

The people of the surrounding Araukan clan were flushed with his words, and their burning eyes as if they were about to burn when they looked at the chief.

If the support rate can be directly quantified, the value of Manguenke shares can already explode!

Everyone has a yearning for a better life, and even more so they live in the middle and lower reaches of the New World ecological chain.

Now, the first third-order totem warrior in the tribe is about to be ushered in, and there is also a chance to truly rise, how can they not be excited?

What's more, this is the life of half of the young men in the tribe!

The people had already begun to chant the chief's name in unison.

"Mangunk!"

"Mangunk!"

“......”

Surrounded by the enthusiasm of the tribesmen, the chieftain, who was tasked with reviving the tribe, was in high spirits and felt that he was no different from a true god.

I can't wait to stand in front of them again in the next moment with a third-order attitude!

The beliefs of the Atrians are based on animism, and include three aspects: nature worship, totem worship and ancestor worship.

The status of the three in their hearts is progressive.

But totem worship can bring them real power, and it is also the foundation for them to be able to survive for a long time on this dangerous continent!

The essence of the totems enshrined by the tribes is that the New World is widely present in mountains, waters, grasses, and trees. The "spirit of nature" is a powerful natural spirit born between heaven and earth.

Although he does not even possess the personality of a demigod, he has great power over all spirits, including evil spirits, through his deep-rooted connection to the land.

They are embodied (manifested as totems) by their faith, and they are also strengthened by their faith.

Like the transcendent, since all things have spirits, there are of course high and low among the natural spirits.

As a nomadic tribe, the Araukan clan was not large and strong in the past, and the totem they worshipped, "Ovig, the Great Sea Shark", was certainly not a powerful nature spirit.

The main body is a giant great white shark with six eyes, and although it has the dual power of wind and water, it is said to have the power and status in the Atrian god tree.

Compared to the "Spirit of the Giant Bear" Grenham and the "Spirit of the Eagle" Avaanca, which are worshiped by the big tribes and even several large tribes, it is too far behind.

Compared to those beings who may be second only to demigods, Ovig's essence is actually only of the third order.

However, to these mortals, the Great Sea Shark Ovig is no different from other powerful nature spirits, they are all irresistible existences.

"Chief, it's time for the ceremony to begin. ”

Glancing at the position of the moon in the sky, the older shaman reminded Mangunk.

Subsequently.

He drew two pairs of eyes on the cheeks of the chieftain Mangunk, juxtaposed from top to bottom, consistent with the image of Ovig the sea shark on the totem pole.

Then he put a blue crest of feathers on his head, which looked like the dorsal fin of a shark from a distance.

Teng –

The two shamans then added jasmine essential oil, coca leaves, tobacco, and a special potion to the campfire, which helped them open the lines of communication with Ovig, the great shark.

And then thrown into the fire... It's those bloody scalps.

Knock knock! knock! knock...

As the smoke rises, two shamans pick up the teponastre made by burning the trunk of a tree around their waists and beat the python drum with both hands.

There is a primitive and flamboyant sacrificial dance under his feet, and there are copper bells on his waist that keep ringing.

They sang loudly in praise of the sea shark Ovig, and the ethereal singing spread far away.

It echoed between the sky and the sea, and there was no noise except the crackling of the campfire.

And they were surrounded in the middle, and on the totem pole that looked very quaint and didn't know how many years had been passed down by them, a water-colored brilliance quietly rose.

The big shark Ovig answered their call!

Then, there seemed to be countless human faces in the green smoke coming out of the fire, which were absorbed by the totem pole with the sea breeze.

The whole ritual is sacred and evil.

The next moment.

As if connected to an electric current, Mangunk's body trembled slightly, and he felt that his spirit had entered a vast and infinite world, connected with a powerful and aggressive being.

It was a huge shark that kept floating in the void, with a body length of more than 100 meters and six blood-colored eyes like monsters.

On the body of this natural spirit, a blue and blood aura stretched like an umbilical cord, connecting a man and a shark together.

"Praise you, Ovig!"

Feeling that majestic power, Manguenke looked ecstatic and kept praising the totemic god.

On his external body, the totemic imprints, which were originally somewhat abstract, began to gradually become more and more lifelike at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was even as if he had broken through the boundary between two-dimensional and three-dimensional, slowly swimming on his skin.

All the onlookers, especially the soldiers standing in the special seat, saw such a magical scene, all of them showed fanaticism, and they couldn't take their eyes off and were reluctant to let go of any detail.

It is the great chief who becomes the transcendent third order today, but what about tomorrow?

No one doesn't want to be the next lucky one!

However.

But they didn't notice that all the sentry posts that had been set up in advance around the temporary camp had stopped moving.

And a group of heavily armed Kingdom soldiers, under the command of the junior officers, had quietly surrounded them.

As a nomadic tribe, the Araukan clan had no fixed station, but the chosen sacrificial site was not too far from the last town of Ilya.

In particular, there is a large bay surrounded by land on three sides, which provides excellent conditions for their sacrifices.

The original intention was to allow the soldiers to rush back as soon as possible after completing the pre-requisites, but it also provided convenience for Ai Wen and them.

Although they were one step too late to intercept them halfway, they were able to arrive in time for the ceremony to end.

However, when it is still ten kilometers away.

Wilder's squirrel could only scream in horror and no longer dared to show the way, and only Fleck, who was in a bearskin state, could restrain the animal's fear of being superior.

But by this time, there is no need for their scent tracking.

There is a reconnaissance network, and Evan has already seen the natives' preliminary ritual preparations throughout the whole process.

In this world, whatever the purpose of the ceremony, it is similar to a factory that manufactures weapons of mass destruction to the enemy, and it is to be placed on the target of the first series of strikes.

Along the way, the soldiers were constantly urged to speed up the rapid march.

And now.

When Evan saw the shape of the totem carvings on Mangunk, who was standing under the totem pole, changed.

Having studied the profession of totem warrior, he had instantly realized the role of this ritual.

Although the rituals corresponding to different nature spirits are completely different, the changes that correspond to the totemic warriors are the same.

From abstract to concrete, then resimplified, and when it finally becomes only a few symbolic symbols, it also means that the promotion ceremony is completely completed.

So time was running out, Ai Wen's face changed, and he didn't care about letting the soldiers take a breath before decisively ordering:

"Gary and I were in charge of the frontal raids, Milan and Roddy were in charge, and Wilder and Mike were in charge of finding sniper points to snipe the important people.

Fleck, you work with a large army to focus on clearing out enemy fighters. ”

"Understood!"

Evan waved his hand heavily.

"Action!"

A flock of seagulls has already pounced first.

Bang! Bang...

Several glass test tubes shattered upwind, and there were fine spores scattered with the wind.

Subsequently.

Ahh

Someone in the crowd on the periphery sneezed coldly.

provoked the reproachful eyes of the surrounding clansmen, how could there be such rude behavior on such a solemn occasion, what if it made the totem god angry?

However, the next moment.

"Hehehe..."

A very suppressed low laugh rang out from the crowd.

In an instant, he attracted the attention of the elder shaman on the altar, and tilted his head to see who was so ignorant of the rules and must teach him a harsh lesson after the ceremony.

It's just that his thoughts just fell.

"Ahahahaha..."

The wild laughter that could no longer be suppressed had been exited, and this time it was no longer one person, but one after another.

"Ahahahaha..."

"Ahahahaha..."

However, in just a dozen seconds, all the clansmen present who participated in the ceremony were already laughing crookedly.

Before the older shaman came to his senses, what had happened.

Bang!bang....

Countless spears flickered in the darkness behind them, and the deadly lead bullets had exploded in the special seats where only young warriors were qualified to stand.

At the same time.

Bang!

Two buckshot bullets had stopped in front of them, blocked by the water-colored light barrier released by the totem pole, saving the lives of the two shamans.

The edges of the two lead bullets that stopped in the air had strange lines, which were left by the traces left by the rifled barrel at high speed.

In the pre-loading era, reloading a rifled gun was a time-consuming and laborious task.

There is little chance of firing a second shot on a battlefield that is in the heat of battle, but only for specific occasions or special operations on the continent.

This is also the reason why smoothbore guns have always been used in the mainstream army.

Only when the synchronicity of the rear-loading gun develops, will the golden age of rifled guns be ushered in.

Although the two marksmen missed at the same time with the first shot.

However, there are murderous slogans in the darkness.

"Invincible!"

"Kill——!"

In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the colorful "sharks" like the tide have been frantically surging towards them.
