Chapter 442: The Hong Tribe
The Hong tribe, the largest tribe in the Donghe region, has a population 100 times that of the Qiang, and in the entire Donghe region, there are only two large tribes that can compete with the Hong, one is the Hanfeng tribe, and the other is the hermit tribe.
The hermit tribe is the most mysterious one of all the tribes in the Donghe region, they rarely intersect with foreign tribes, although the number is much different from the Hong tribe, but there are many masters of its clan, and the accidental shot is shocking the whole region, a group of strong people uprooted a tribe with good strength in less than an hour, since then the strength of the hermit tribe has only surfaced in front of the world, but it is very strange that they rarely participate in the war between the east and the west, most of the time they just maintain a nearly neutral attitude.
The Hong tribe is the most warlike tribe in the entire Donghe region, and even in the entire steppe, they have the most powerful warriors on the grassland, and they are very aggressive, often willing to encroach on other small and medium-sized tribes, and even once launched a war of aggression against small and medium-sized tribes in the Donghe region, only later because of the joint intervention of powerful tribes such as Hanfeng and Hermit had to stop the war.
"I still have something to explain in my clan, please ask the messenger to take the first step, and within three days, I will definitely arrive at the nobles' residence. Ma Long didn't go out, but said coldly through the big tent with a gloomy face.
"Hmph, I hope you will be able to arrive on time, chief, since the message has been delivered, I will take my leave first. The tone of the Hong envoy outside the tent was also a little annoyed, but then there was no sound, obviously he had left.
"Hmph, it's really hateful! The Hong clan relied on their own strength and didn't take us small clans seriously. Only sending a mere nobody to deliver the message simply didn't take our clan seriously. After the Hong envoy left, Zhan Lao suddenly scolded, and his face was covered with red clouds condensed by anger.
Ma Long's face was also gloomy, and his face was gloomy as if he could drip water, and the Hong clan's contempt for them was not a day or two.
On the contrary, Mo Ming was a little puzzled, although the attitude of the Hong envoy was bad, but in his opinion, he would not be so angry.
"Brother Mo may not know the rules of our Donghe District, if there is communication between tribes, if it is an important matter. There will usually be a formal written notice. The matter of discussing a war between the two sides of the strait is so important that it is only a message sent by someone to bring it, which shows that the Hong people do not take our nationality seriously at all. Seeing that Mo Ming seemed to have doubts on his face. He Lao on the side explained to him in a low voice.
"And that's not all. Even if it's a message. If the other party pays attention, they will also send powerful warriors to convey it, but the hateful Hong clan only sent an ordinary small character. Obviously, in their hearts, our tribe is only worthy of this level. Ma Hu also said with a look of resentment.
Hearing this, Mo Ming was stunned, it turned out that the reason why Ma Long and the others were angry was that the Hong people looked down on them too much.
"Hey, but there is no way to do it, who let us become a third-rate tribe now, if in the past, the Hong clan would not dare to be so presumptuous. Malone sighed helplessly and said.
"Is it any harm to you to be belittled? I think it's a good thing. Mo Ming suddenly asked, but everyone in the tent was stunned, and then they looked at Mo Ming with a sullen face.
"Brother Mo, what do you mean by that? Although our clan is now degraded, it was also a super clan in ancient times, how can the majesty of our clan allow these guys to despise it?" said Zhan Lao's face was slightly gloomy, and he said angrily.
Mo Ming smiled indifferently and said, "Do you think that the old man is too powerful to pass, or is the survival of the Yi clan more important?"
"This ......" Zhan Lao looked stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't answer.
"The majesty of the ancestors cannot be lost, but in comparison, of course, the survival of the race is more important. Ma Long answered Mo Ming's question for Zhan Lao, but then looked at Mo Ming suspiciously, and asked, "Brother Mo asked this, what do you mean?"
Mo Ming smiled lightly and said: "The Hong clan's contempt for you is precisely the most beneficial to you, you think about it carefully, if the Yi clan is still a strong clan in ancient times, although you can get more respect, but you also have to raise the spirit of twelve points to guard against it, the Hong clan is warlike, you are a threat to him." And now it's just the opposite, because you're so weak, so weak that he doesn't even bother to pay attention to you, but gives you more opportunities. ”
"Our deal has been completed, and the method of physical cultivation is bound to be implemented in the whole clan, so have you ever thought about it, how can the Hong clan not notice such a big move, if you are a strong clan, then he will sit idly by? But because you are a weak clan, he will not notice you at all, and even if he does, he may not take it to heart. Mo Ming talked eloquently, but the eyes of Ma Long and the others became brighter and brighter, revealing a thoughtful look.
As Mo Ming said, if they are strong enough, it will cause the fear of the Hong clan and even the strong clan such as Hanfeng, once they have any trouble, I am afraid that they will immediately get the news, and then take action to obstruct it in every way, and now although they are not taken seriously, they can just recuperate under the noses of these big clans and continue to grow.
"Hahahaha, Brother Mo is right, this is not an insult, but an opportunity. Ma Long figured out the key to this, but then he laughed, the previous haze was swept away, and then he said to Mo Ming: "Well, I have a request, I don't know if Brother Mo is willing to agree?"
"The chief, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
"I want to ask Brother Mo to go to the Hong tribe with me when the time comes, and I will go with Ma Hu at that time, and I hope that Brother Mo can sharpen this kid along the way. Ma Long stared at him and said in a deep voice.
Mo Ming's face showed a hint of discoloration, and he asked suspiciously: "With all due respect, this guy is easy to be impulsive, if you take him there, I'm afraid that you may get into trouble." Mo Ming's words are not shy about it.
Ma Hu touched his head helplessly, looking embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refute, in this account, either the leader or the clan elder, the only outsider, but he will become his master, but he has become the youngest.
"I naturally know what kind of character my brother has. But I'm afraid Brother Mo, you still don't know, this time I went to the Hong tribe not only to discuss the war, but also to discuss another thing, that is, to decide the location of the array and the number of people participating in the battle. Malone smiled helplessly and explained.
Mo Ming was slightly stunned and asked, "Isn't it the Hong clan that takes the lead?"
Marlon shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "No, it's the opposite. The stronger the clan, the less they want their people to die in war. So it was the weaker tribes who took the lead. ”
"Isn't that being used as cannon fodder?" Mo Ming frowned slightly and said in a condensed voice.
"That's right, it's cannon fodder, on the one hand, it can consume the opponent's strength. On the other hand, it can preserve the strength of its own clan. And more importantly. It can also suppress other tribes in the region and ensure its own leadership. Ma Long said with a somewhat ugly face, this is the sadness of being a weak.
"Therefore, although we want to show weakness to the Hong. But I have to show some necessary strength, because this is related to the survival of our clan, if we can't get a relatively low position, then the casualties will definitely be very heavy, and it will only make things worse for our clan. Malone took a deep breath and said helplessly.
Mo Ming shook his head, his heart was gloomy, as Ma Long said, if the small clan wants to survive in this prairie, they must constantly struggle, not only to face the invasion of wild beasts and the shortage of food, but also to deal with the threat on the other side of the river and the suppression of the big clan in this area.
"And it's not us old guys who decide the position, but the young people of all races, because they are the future of all races. He Lao continued.
Mo Ming nodded, and said in a condensed voice: "That is to say, if you want the Shan clan to get a better position and reduce casualties, then you can only let Ma Sloppy occupy other opponents in this conference." ”
"That's true, so I have to ask Brother Mo to bother more and improve Ma Hu's combat effectiveness as much as possible in the past few days, and if he is the only one who shows a slightly stronger strength, it shouldn't attract the attention of those big clans. Malone nodded and said with a smile.
"Well, I'm going to sharpen this guy for the next few days. Mo Ming nodded, his eyes moved to Ma Huo's body, and he smiled evilly.
Ma Huo's face turned pale, but he couldn't help but shiver in his heart.
And in the following period of time, Ma Huo finally realized what life is worse than death, and in terms of the content of Mo Ming's cultivation given to him, he suddenly felt that his previous practice was simply pediatric.
"With this training method, I'm afraid that before I get to the Hong station, Xiaohu will have to shed a layer of skin. Zhan Lao said with a sigh, along the way, he personally experienced a high-intensity training method arranged by Mo Ming for Ma Sloppy, and after a complete set of methods, even he couldn't stand it, and his old bones were about to fall apart.
"Devil's training, that's what it means. Seeing his younger brother being tortured inhumanely, Ma Long's eyelids jumped.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a miserable scream came, and Ma Long couldn't help but tremble, and sighed to the old man: "Well, there is no way, after all, the time left for him is too short, and if he wants to succeed quickly, he can only pay a more painful price." ”
The old man was silent and sighed: "Hey, it's true, every year at the pre-war conference, there will always be a few guys who jump out to stir up trouble, if you give them a lesson again this time, the old man, I can't get out of this breath in my heart anyway." As soon as he thought of the ugly faces of those guys in the past, anger appeared on the faces of the old soldiers.
"Hmph, these clowns are just unbalanced in their hearts, and they are weak, so they just want to find pleasure from a strong clan like our clan. When Ma Long heard this, he said disdainfully.
Originally, it would take less than three days to get from the Qiang Tribe's station to the Hong Tribe's station, but in order to improve Ma Sloppy's combat power as high as possible, Ma Long and his party dragged it until the evening of the third day before arriving at the Hong tribe's station.
The Hong garrison is in the middle reaches of the East River District, which is also the widest part of the entire river, and this is also the most frequent place for wild beasts to come to drink water, and more importantly, because it is also the farthest place between the two sides of the river, so no matter what time, the fire of war will not burn the Hong garrison.
"Yo, isn't this a fellow of the Clan? Why are you here so late? We've been here for almost two days, and hey, it's so boring for you not to come. ”
Ma Long and the others had just stepped into the Hong Clan's station, and suddenly a voice that made people feel bad suddenly reached everyone's ears.
"Best wishes!" Malone suddenly sank. Cold eyes looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Mo Ming has been following the back of the Qiang team, very low-key, and he has already changed into the costume of the Shan Clan, mixed with the people of the Shan Clan, and will not attract the attention of others at all.
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, who looked upright, just a pair of triangular eyes, but gave people a very unhappy feeling.
"Haha, this time, I'm afraid that you clan will be in the top three again. Gee. If you continue like this, I don't know how long you can hold on. Zhu Bee said with a worried face, if he just listened to his voice, Mo Ming would really think that this person was worried about Yifang. But see the eyes. But it's not all two different things. Zhu Bee's eyes were full of schadenfreude.
"Hmph, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, how much better can your Zhu clan be than us?" Ma Long glanced at Zhu Bee lightly. He said coldly: "Is there any difference between the top three and the top six? ”
"You!" The other party suddenly became angry, but then endured it again, and sneered: "Hmph, so what? Anyway, you are the first to die." ”
"Who dies first is not certain? How do you know that you can still get the top position this time?" Ma Long glanced at Zhu Bee lightly, dropped a bland sentence, turned away, and no longer paid attention to this person.
"Hmph, every year there will be this kind of guy who deliberately finds fault, Xiaohu, you listen well, you have to fight for our clan this year, don't be flattened by those guys. After everyone left, Zhan Lao said angrily to Xiaohu.
"Oh!" replied sloppily, dragging his tired body behind the crowd, the torture of the past two days had exhausted him.
"Damn, you bastard boy, you don't have any fighting spirit at all, cheer me up for the old man. Zhan Lao was suddenly anxious, and shouted angrily, seeing that this kid was listless, he wanted to kick it hard, but for the sake of the inhuman torture he had suffered before, he endured it.
Early the next morning, Marlon took the old man to attend the pre-war discussion meeting of the tribes, while Mo Ming and the rest of the Qiang entourage were left in the garrison, but they were told by the Hong guards not to move around at will, and the scope of their activities was limited to the area specially divided for each tribe.
Almost every year the pre-war conference is held in the Hong tribe, so in the Hong station, there has always been a special place for people of all ethnic groups to live temporarily, but different tribes have completely different treatment, according to the strength of the big tent, the big tent of each tribe will extend from the side of the river to the bank farther away, the stronger the tribe can be arranged closer to the big river, such as the Han Feng clan and the hermit clan with the same strength as the Hong clan, their big tent will be directly lined up on the side of the big river, but the hermit clan's big tent has been vacant for many years, but because of the number of hermits the hermit clan has always been low-key, rarely participate in the war between the two regions, but this time, they sent someone.
And not only from the location can see the strength of the various clans, even in the size of the tent there is a big difference, the Hanfeng clan living near the river, its tent is tens of meters high, covering a vast area, Mo Ming even suspects, among them can even run horses.
Compared with the strong clans such as Hanfeng, the big tent of the Qi tribe was arranged in the last row of the garrison, and the big tent was still very spacious, but compared with the Hanfeng and other clans, the big tent they lived in was not worth mentioning at all.
"Master, why don't we go out for a walk, I'm also the first time to come to the largest tribe in Donghe District. Ma Huo had been trying to encourage Mo Ming to visit the Hong station's residence with him, but after a night's rest, the thick-skinned guy had fully recovered.
"It's okay, you can just go and observe the situation of the other tribes. Mo Ming nodded, agreeing to the sloppy request.
The guest area station is divided separately, and there will be Hong guards guarding the connection with the Hong station, but if you want to cross the line and enter the Hong station, they will not stop it, one is not willing to offend people, and the other is also to promote the trade in the trading area, and the tribes distributed all over the country gather in the Hong tribe, and naturally bring some good things from their own tribe, and take this opportunity to exchange with other tribes for what they need, and the Hong people naturally acquiesce to this, but they will never let go of such an opportunity in vain, so they set a rule, everything that is exchanged within his Hong tribe, the Hong people have the right of first exchange, that is, if someone wants to take out a treasure to exchange with others, and the Hong people can take something that satisfies the exchanger, then the exchanger must exchange the treasure with the Chu tribe, so that the Hong people can collect all the good things as much as possible in the clan, and the Hong people can continue to grow themselves by using this method.
"Hong Tiancheng, what do you mean? Don't think that this is the territory of the Hong clan, your hometown, and I, Mu Shaofeng, will be afraid of you. ”
"Hmph, Miss Wushuang will naturally make a wise choice, and it is not your turn to decide for her. ”
Mo Ming and Ma Huo were wandering around the trading area, but they suddenly heard a noisy silver noise, but their hearts moved, and they secretly thought: "Wushuang, could it be her?" (to be continued......
