Chapter Seventy-One: Tribal Expansion (I)
The seabed, colored plains
Seta walked out of the 'palace', and Terry Hugh was already waiting on the steps, the mermaid elder was wearing a special grand dress today, and there were hundreds of colorful seashells on his body!
He looked solemn, and stood there full of solemn ritual;
In the small square under the 'palace', a mermaid army of 26 people lined up neatly, both men and women, but both men and women wore conch armor inlaid with iron plates, and held tridents from human society in their hands!
The military formation stood quietly, with strong muscles and iron weapons, all showing their strength!
Terry Hugh, taking a few steps forward, prostrate himself on the ground, and said in a loud voice:
"Great King, Thy loyal deployment - Tetri, all the warriors are ready, please designate the enemy, and Tetri will sweep away all enemies for our king!"
Seta stood silently with his sword in his right hand, silently looking at the military array below;
These people are not just warriors, they are the root of the revival of the Tetri tribe!
The following 26 people, plus the mermaid elder next to him, Terry Hugh, a total of 27 people, is the current population of the Tertri tribe!
If they are missing anything, the future of the entire tribe will be lost, and the name of Tetri may even be lost to history forever!
If you are lucky, there will be a word in a pile of old papers, telling the glory of the past;
Bad luck. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info.
Now that they have been worshipped and allowed to pledge their allegiance to themselves, according to the rules of this world, they are to be protected without affecting themselves!
It's a contract!
Some may be dismissive, but Seta is going to do it;
Because of God's ways, this is where man's faith in God begins, and God's gift of doctrine is the rule rooted in the origin of this world!
It's a contract too!
Taking a deep breath, Seta cut off his train of thought, looked at the military formation in the audience, and shouted:
"Let's go!"
With this shout, a group of more than twenty people first left the coral reef group, and then led by a female mermaid, hurried towards the location of the wild tribe;
The wild tribe is the female mermaid who led the way, and when she found it while collecting food, it naturally won't be too far away from the Tetri tribe;
Soon the crowd came to a wreck, and the mermaid stopped, then prostrate herself on the ground, and said:
"Great King, the wild tribe is in that boat"
"I counted it last time, and there are about 10 of their adult fighters"
Seta nodded, then waved the mermaid back, then turned her head and said:
"Hugh, according to the rules, if you want to fuse this wild tribe, what should you do?"
Terry Hugh respectfully said:
"Great King, allow me to explain to you" After receiving a nod from Seta in agreement, the old mermaid said:
"According to the tradition of merfolk, only the tribe with the name of the clan has the qualification to inherit and be able to receive the blessing of the ancestors after death!"
"Generally speaking, all wild tribes are willing to join a tribe with a clan name, but only if the tribe is strong enough to defeat them openly!"
Terry Hugh bowed again and said:
"Great King, these are the rules of the merfolk!"
Seta nodded abruptly;
To put it bluntly, all mermaids believe that there is an afterlife;
They believe that the mermaid tribe with a clan name can go to the land of their ancestors after death and enjoy a good life, endless food, beautiful female mermaids and countless other beautiful things;
Well, this is primitive ancestor worship, and if it evolves a little, it is totem worship!
And what about mermaid tribes without clan names? Because without inheritance, there are no ancestors, so they cannot enjoy the benefits of going to the ancestral kingdom after death, and there is no good life after death!
How does this work?!
All the wild tribes are willing to join the tribe with a clan name, and this is the basis for the Tetri tribe to be able to merge with this wild tribe.
But!
After the clan name tribe is integrated into the wild tribe, how should the right to speak in the tribe be distributed?
It depends on the previous battle of integration, whoever has the biggest fist will listen to whom!
Thinking so, Seta smiled slightly, he had already seen a large hole in the side of the wreck, and several mermaids were entering and exiting at this time;
Turning his head, he finally confirmed:
"Hugh, can I, as the king of Tetri, take part in the battle?"
Terry Hugh was happy in his heart, he knew the strength of the king, such a powerful fish-man tribe was killed by the king, and the following mermaids were not a piece of cake?
Hurriedly affirmed:
"You are the king of Tetri, so you can naturally decide whether to participate in the battle or not!"
Seta smiled slightly, and suddenly had a bottom in his heart, with his own background, the Tetri tribe would not lose, the only pity was that this battle could not kill!
'It's a pity, I can't kill anyone!' said to himself in his heart, then he stood up and waved his hand:
"Array! Forward!"
With an order, with the exception of Ketterry Hugh, who was closely following Setta, the other 26 merfolk immediately rushed out in formation;
As soon as this figure appeared, it was immediately discovered by the mermaids of the wild tribe:
"Woo~" The snail sounded for a long time;
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen mermaids rushed out of the wreck, some old and some young, Seta saw that there were only about 10 young and middle-aged people, nodding slightly, the information was accurate;
The two sides faced each other in formation, and Seta walked down with the old mermaid and stood in front of his own army;
Seta nodded slightly at the old mermaid, and Terry Hugh bowed respectfully, then turned to the people of the wild tribe opposite and shouted loudly:
"I am the elder of the tribe of Tetri, Tertri Hugh, commanded by my king, to follow the rules of the ancients."
"Please compete with us, and let us bathe in the glory of our ancestors together!"
After listening to the words of the old mermaid, the wild tribe on the opposite side immediately became restless, and their faces were full of joy, especially the older mermaids, who were even more excited and couldn't help themselves;
The corners of Seta's mouth curled slightly, it seems that the previous analysis was not wrong, and the basis for tribal fusion did exist;
Just as he was thinking, the mermaid warrior, the tallest of the wild tribes, raised his arm to stop the commotion of the tribesmen, and then walked out of the queue with a solemn face, bowing slightly towards the tribal elder opposite;
Then he said:
"I am White Fang, the warrior of this settlement"
"Respected Elder of the Tetri Tribe, our settlement is willing to follow the ancient rules and fight, no matter what the final result is, the glory of the Tetri Tribe will be even more glorious!"
Not surprised by this result, Tretrey Hugh nodded solemnly at the warrior White Fang of the Wild Tribe, and then returned to their respective queues;
Seta asked:
"What's next?
Terry Hugh bowed and said:
"It depends on the choice of the other side, they have the right to choose to fight or fight!"
"The battle is a battle between the strongest warriors of the two tribes, and the winner of the three battles is decided!"
"And the battle, that is, everyone from the two tribes will join the battle, and the winner will dominate!"
Seta nodded, and stood with the mermaid old man, waiting for the other party's choice;
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, three people came out on the opposite side, and the warrior White Fang was also among them, only to hear him say loudly:
"Following the ancient rules, we choose to fight!"
