Chapter 172: Sweeping the Nomadic Tribes
When Wu Xin destroyed the Pastor Mohammed, outside the port of Tripoli, the core of the Oasis controlled by the Godafi tribes remained a peaceful scene.
With the exception of a dozen riders sent to support Muhammad, the others went about their daily lives in peace.
The rider's family is not very worried, and in the recent month,
Although today is the day to attack Wu Xin, most of the people here do not understand the situation, and the few people who know the situation are not very nervous.
In their opinion, the situation has almost stabilized, compared to when the sons of the previous Godafy were still alive, the situation has settled down.
Hussein Abu al-Nusr Abu Godafi Abu Insuba Abu Ruyu, the full name of the current chief, Luyu is the oldest ancestor he can know, and of course his common name is now Godafi.
There are only two extremes of people who continue to call him by his natal name, his closest family, and his staunchest enemies.
For the sake of legitimacy in his rule, the chief no longer uses his old name, and certainly not a new one.
He took a passage from his name, indicating that he was related to the previous chieftain and the founder of the tribe, as his new generic name.
This is a very common thing in tribal power struggles, if you are the son of an ex, then you can use your own life, if you are only a distant relative and only barely have the upper hand in the struggle, then this way of intercepting the name, can get you a little bit of legitimacy.
This Godalffy was the first time he met Wu Xin The Godalaffy was a distant cousin, and he had killed all the sons of that Godalfe and married several wives and daughters who were still alive, and then naturally took the name.
While the other powerful factions were still busy drawing circles and taking sides, this one Godalffy quickly and violently went straight to the center, and he destroyed the previous Godalffy orphan with a clean night attack. took possession of those widows, and controlled most of the periphery with their limited lineage.
His lineage is not very far, he is a descendant of the younger brother of the founder of the tribe, and his strength is okay.
And in that raid, he also showed the ability to cast spells, and he had already awakened to a first-level Star and Moon Priest. After seizing the power of the tribe and sacrificing the various reserves that his predecessor Godalfi had accumulated for many years, as well as several of his sons and irons, he had become a third-level priest.
The dogma of the Lord of the Stars and Moon is very coarse, but when it comes to giving back sacrifices, he is a little more generous than the true gods.
So now most of the powerful factions in the tribe have temporarily accepted his position.
However, Godafy was quite sure that those few were as close as he was, and he also had his own cousins. It's not going to be settled like that.
There are also the die-hard loyalists of the previous Godalfi, who are not dead either, and they may think about saving themselves first, but if they have the opportunity, they will also be happy to see themselves fall.
"Chief Godafe, it's time to start your morning class." The two wives he just got helped him get dressed, the woman was older and the other was younger, and the one in her thirties was the wife of his ex. The one under twenty is the daughter of her predecessor.
The daughter resented the situation, although her mother tried to help her with her makeup. But it was still difficult to hide her red and swollen eyes, let alone her hateful eyes.
But Godafi didn't really care, and his behavior was in line with the rules of the nomadic tribe.
Because of the long-term bondage of this culture, most of the women have already agreed in their hearts, and after a while, they have given birth to children. She may still hold grudges, but she won't think about it day and night.
The older wife has let go, although the husband's name has not changed, but the wife feels that the current husband is much more motivated than the predecessor. The previous Godalba had not gotten up early to pray for a long time, and his daily ten exercises were all perfunctory.
And this incumbent, in her memory, has always been doing her homework so seriously.
And although this Goda Fe accepted his wife and daughter, he rewarded the female slaves of his predecessor to a few brave subordinates, and many playthings were not stingy.
Godafy nodded, and he checked himself to make sure he was dressed and looked good.
Appearing solemn and steady is important for all chiefs, especially usurpers who are not yet in a secure position.
As soon as he stepped out of his tent, the guards around him saluted, followed by the others walking in the camp.
That's power.
It's a really intoxicating feeling, and that's why power drives people crazy and fights regardless of the need to fight together.
"Good work." He waved at the solemn guard, and unlike the previous Godalfi, he reveled in power, but also knew how to give respect.
He even nodded to the hard-working slaves, and encouraged them: "Do a good job, there will be women and food." ”
The slaves continued to carry water from the well in barrels, as they had done in the past.
In the world before Wu Xin traveled, population pressure led to the pumping of groundwater so much that there was a need to back up groundwater.
However, there are no very troubling environmental problems here, and it is impossible for manpower to lose too much of the water table without the help of machinery and magic, so for nomads, it is just a matter of pumping water as best they can.
As he greeted his supporters, Gota Fey recalled the animal-powered well and mill he had seen in Wu Xin's newly built village and town.
He thought about how much convenience it would bring to his people, how much income it could bring to him, and how much prestige it could bring to his own people if he built such a building next to his well.
He wanted the technology for the building, and he believed he could get it.
The handsome little warlock would soon come to him.
In the outer circle of his guards, other powerful people who peeked into his position gradually arrived, and one by one they reluctantly got up from the slave girls, tired of this pious religious activity.
Goda Fe sneered in his heart, he hoped that his competitor was like this.
The third-level priest, coupled with his original samurai rank, can be regarded as the strongest of the "backbone" level.
The Lord of the Stars and Moon does not have a more explicit dogma like the gods of the true god system, and his evaluation of priests and believers is more direct.
It is according to various rituals and offerings. and whether it will be able to expand His faith.
Relying on this strength, Godafy was confident that he could control the tribe, as long as the warlock in the port of Tripoli could not interfere.
Although he didn't know what role Wu Xin played in Godafei's death, Wu Xin subsequently instigated several sons to fight among themselves, and he didn't announce who he supported, for a hero like him. That is the evidence that Wu Xin wants to control their tribe.
Of course, his judgment was correct, so he began to hook up with that Muhammad long before he took control of the tribe.
He squeezed out his limited resources to help him establish his own organization, and also threaded the needle for Muhammad, establishing a link between the surrounding tribes of Xingyue nomads who had already submitted to Wu Xin and Muhammad.
Although only fifty or sixty riders were provided by several tribes, the limited strength of Tripoli and the morale of the immigrants themselves were available.
Goda Fe believes that Wu Xin will be anxious about this.
No matter how the situation develops, it is Wu Xin who accepts the "petition". Whether he chooses to attack Muhammad or whether he chooses to attack Muhammad, he will need the support of the Godafi tribe.
In this case, it is not the port of Tripoli that interferes in the internal affairs of the Godafi tribe, but the Godafi tribe who has begun to infiltrate the port of Tripoli.
He was confident that the degree of his intervention was just right, which not only let Wu Xin know his ability, but also gave the other party a step to make concessions, so that he would not immediately join the struggle.
Of course, if that little warlock is too arrogant. A handsome person is always arrogant, so he would have to support Muhammad anymore.
Anyway, he can always strengthen the internal order first. When both sides are exhausted, take it in stride to win.
In this way, not only does he not need to worry about Wu Xin to support the powerful factions in his tribe, but he can strengthen his ruling base by obtaining the benefits of the port, and even use the power of trade. to conquer and unite other nomadic tribes.
At that time, it was not the port of Tripoli that controlled the surrounding nomadic tribes, but the port of Tripoli that allowed him to get in touch with the world of the sea.
That more prosperous and inviting world.
Hmph, you guys from the sea. Whether it is the Ottomans or the Europeans, there is only one other in their eyes.
We local nomads have never looked at us as savage inferiors, unworthy of being your allies or rivals, and fooling us with rubbish that is not worth a jewel in Europe.
This time, I'm going to make you pay.
European traders were careful to keep away the real jewelry they wore when trading with the nomads, but occasionally sold them for very high prices, and there was certainly no shortage of judgmental people among the nomads, realizing that the trade beads they bought were in fact completely revealing their own weakness in the world, and that they were really evidence of ignorance.
That little warlock has only such a negligible strength, and he dares to swallow our tribe, and the leader of the previous generation has cooperated with you so equally and sincerely, but you are still so cruel, you must kill him.
The one his orphans and widows should hate is actually you.
But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you hate it or not, the point is that they are all mine.
The point is, this time, you were defeated by me!
Godafy spread out his cloth, and then knelt up with confidence, and praised the Lord of the Stars and Moon in a loud voice.
However, at this holy moment, a nomad who did not know the time was there and shouted that Godafi should stop praying immediately.
Godafy was furious in his heart, and this was the guy who didn't know the general trend to interfere with him at this pious moment, trying to hurt his image.
He gave the people on his left and right a look, and then the two cronies stooped down and walked over to deal with the guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Half a minute later, the unlucky man's voice was extinguished.
Godafe continued to pray earnestly, he would not normally deal with it like this, but today, he was confident that there would not be any threat enough enemies to deal with him.
All the powerful factions were persuaded by him that it was in the interests of all of them to destroy the attack capability of the port of Tripoli first.
Even if a few enemies who don't know whether they are alive or dead want to use unusual timing to gain suddenness, it will only make them all betray.
Godafi is confident that the core power he controls will not change anything if he wastes a little time.
On the other hand, after Wu Xin was discovered by the enemy's sentinels, he was ready to abandon the original raid plan and attack instead.
He is confident in his own strength, and he has a disproportionate amount of high-end combat power, which cannot be produced by the port of Tripoli, nor can he be fought against opponents of the port of Tripoli.
However, this time, the opponent is indeed excellent in this level, and the current Godalafy avoided the civil war with thunderous means, and quickly united possible allies.
Wu Xin's several blows to this tribe not only opened up a power vacuum for him, but also objectively created a sense of crisis for the people of insight in the Godafi tribe, who smelled Wu Xin's greed and instinctively reduced the intensity of the struggle, wanting to protect their independence and freedom.
But Wu Xin had completely destroyed Muhammad's "petitioning" forces, and in one fell swoop captured most of the riders from various tribes.
They weren't elites either, so it was okay to help fight the SF battle together, but when they found out that the situation was wrong, they immediately escaped faster than anyone else.
Because the Gota Fe tribe was closest to the port of Tripoli, there were many riders sent, but a few escaped, and Wu Xin immediately pursued him, and finally did not let any riders escape back to the Gota Fe tribe.
With high-end combat power watchmen like Sazastan and Odd Kessler, Wu Xin could leave only fifty men to defend the fortress and kill it himself with most of his troops.
Launching a raid is just a safety measure to minimize the damage as much as possible.
However, Godalaffy did not react immediately, and Wu Xin's raid plan further expanded his advantage.
It wasn't until Wu Xin broke through the outer defenses that Godafi hastily finished his morning work and anxiously commanded his subordinates to organize resistance.
However, he is really powerless to resist, Wu Xin's ** to this tribe is reasonable, he does have the ability to demand domination.
Cassano and a knight in black armor worked together to lift a section of the wooden fence straight out of the dirt.
"Is this a joke, that's the defense of a camp of thousands of people?" The defense facilities that were already considered rigorous among the surrounding tribes made this black-armored warrior who had just come to the Black Continent feel ridiculous, just now he had resolutely opposed such a surprise plan, but Wu Xin promised that there was a backup plan, so he reluctantly accepted the task. "Our Mafia Church, even the defense of a small church of fifty people, is better organized than here."
"Don't underestimate the Black Continent, only nomads are easier to deal with, and the Barbary pirates are not such opponents." Cassano kindly reminded him.
At this time, Wu Xin's "Fireball Technique" arrived, and the third-level magic immediately blew up several nomads who wanted to plug the gap.
"Hmph, these weak people are only worthy of being slaves." The black-armored warrior didn't really listen, he raised his weapon and rushed into the tribe.
They all use two-handed swords.
Although Cassano's weapon quality is a little better, and his strength is better than that of the black-armored knight, but in this battlefield where there is only leather armor and ordinary level warriors, the "backbone" level black-armored samurai, relying on Wu Xin's "secondary flame blade", can still be used as an assault arrow to cut the enemy into pieces.
Seeing the iron-clad Godafy with a counter-charge organized by more than a dozen people, the female knight Devlich was eager to rush in.
Wu Xin grabbed her shoulder again: "Don't worry, your day will come, but today, the honor belongs to him." (To be continued......)
