Chapter 12: The Enemy Disappears

Seeing Hadu alone to meet him, all the previous dissatisfaction of the deputy leader suddenly disappeared: in his eyes, this young priest did have the audacity to dare to approach the enemy chief alone in such a large formation, but there was no cowardice or fear on his face, which even the deputy chief did not possess when he was young. Thinking www.biquge.info of this, the deputy leader suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Hadu on an equal footing.

Although the deputy leader heard the words of reprimand from Hado's mouth, he did not look irritated at all, but quietly waited for the other party to come to his side. Then, somehow, he suddenly felt that he should follow a leader like Hado, and his old loyalty and protection to the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" tribe was a thing of the past.

The plunder succeeded.

Seeing the deputy leader look at him with respect, Hado knew that his strategy had been completely successful - to rob the leader of his loyal will to their tribe and get the ticket to destroy the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" tribe. Hadu immediately suggested to the deputy chief, as the high priest favored by "Ye-Dun", he wanted to be able to "review" the cavalry troops under the deputy chief's command nearby. The deputy chief readily agreed to this suggestion, summoned his herald, and told him that the high priest of the Ka-Sin-Ki tribe, who was a boy on a white horse, had gathered all his tribes here for a "review" in order to show the strength of his own tribe. This reasonable order did not arouse the herald to have the slightest suspicion, and immediately rode to give the order.

This was followed by a "Grand Review" accompanied by the "Plunder Movement", and the leader and another deputy leader of the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" tribe stood on the top floor of their "clan", looking at the whole scene with disbelief.

You know, the "Sjon'ne-far'ra-Lek'ka" has almost all the cavalry troops of the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" tribe under his command, which is one-third of the tribe's population, and the remaining two-thirds are women, children, and craftsmen, and the only ones who can fight are the chief's personal guards and a group of aging hunters left behind.

In Hado's eyes, he didn't think these cavalry were valuable assets: domesticating horses required a lot of fresh water and food, and their logistical pressure was enormous, and every time they went out of the village they fought had to be won, otherwise they would lose extra manpower and material resources. On the contrary, he thought that the most valuable thing was the golden disc covering the cavalry. These discs he had only seen on the hunters of "Mo-Ruq-Fa", in other words, the "specialty" of the place. The leader also mentioned that with these discs, the hunter's body could be protected from damage, and the stone knife could not pierce these discs at all, and at most it could only pierce some pits.

Now that Hado is here, of course he has to bring back the skills he has to make these discs, and now is the perfect opportunity. Accompanied by the deputy leader, Hadu began to walk towards the towering "clan village", at this time, the women, children and craftsmen in the camp also heard the sound and walked out, and when they saw the patterns on Hadu's body, they all knelt down to greet Hadu.

Hadu walked forward in the middle of the crowd when suddenly an elderly craftsman burst out and threw at him a spear made of the same material as the disc. Unfazed, Hadu dodged the spear with a dodge, and then grabbed it firmly with his hand. The old craftsman who threw the spear was so angry that Hadu could roughly tell from the confusion that the deputy leader had betrayed his people, and instead led Hadu into the camp with the enemy. The deputy leader leaned down and whispered in Hadu's ear: This old craftsman is a veteran miner in the clan, and he was the one who discovered that these discs had extremely strong defensive capabilities. Hado's eyes lit up: Isn't this the craftsman he was looking for with enough knowledge of disc production? He was so dissatisfied with the old craftsman's hostile behavior that he didn't even bother to plunder the other party's loyalty to the original tribe, so he rushed to the old craftsman's side and plundered his knowledge of processing discs.

In an instant, Hadu had a large amount of complex and subtle knowledge coming out, while the old craftsman was stupidly stunned. Hadu didn't care about this old man who didn't respect him, and continued to walk forward to the "clan village".

The leader of the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" and a group of high-ranking officials were already waiting for Hadu at the base of the "clan", and the leader was clearly pleased with Hado's superb fighting skills - the people of the god of war would say to those who were capable of fighting the nearest contact, friend or foe.

Hado explained the purpose of his trip as he walked, and his kind words did not anger the leader and his party, and let him go closer. Then the rest of the matter was simple: the top of the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" abandoned their loyalty to their tribe and walked around the camp with Hado, and gathered all the cavalry patrolling outside, and soon the whole tribe followed Hado, so that the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" tribe was already in name only.

The reason why the "name" still exists is that the ritual system in the tribe has not yet been eliminated - Hadu has heard that someone has already sent a message to the high priest of "Mo-Ruq-Fa" when he has submitted to a high level. Hadu immediately gathered the high-ranking people, mobilized troops and horses, and attacked the sacrificial cave that had been built on a nearby mountain.

When they came to the outside of the cave, the high priest of the other party had already "waited for a long time": a group of sacrificial guards blocked the entrance of the cave tightly, protecting the high priest behind him, holding larger and wider discs in his hands to protect his body, and spears that were made of original materials.

The riders around Hado dismounted and surrounded the hole, while Hadu himself paced slowly and asked the high priest of the other party, "Ye-Dun_Ji_Mo, Vo-Hij'ja_Mi_Tua'al-Qin'ne, Yi-Lan'nu_Jikua'al. He asked the other party why he came with a "divine will" and why the other party was fighting against each other.

The high priest was speechless when he heard this question: "You have turned my tribe against you, and you have asked me why I am hostile to you. Aren't you knowingly asking? However, with the experience of this high priest, of course, he would not reply like this, but he did not say anything, and stood behind the guard, to see how Hadu would react.

Hadu cautiously walked to the column of guards exactly 10 paces away, and then, as he did before, directly plundered the ridiculous loyalty of the other party, but something strange happened: after the plunder was launched, the word "plunder failed" appeared in front of him. !

This is something that has never happened before, and he reluctantly tried again, or "failed to plunder". It's impossible, isn't it? Hadu thought for a moment that these guards must have "no loyalty to the 'Mo-Ruq-Fa' tribe in their own right", and therefore failed to plunder: it was impossible to plunder what others "didn't have". Then he tried to plunder the "loyalty of his high priest" and found that the plunder was still unsuccessful. Now it was Hadu's turn: it was clear that the other party had dedicated his loyalty to the god of war, "Ki-Sjuo'ol".

Hado had never tried to plunder the faith from the "gods" or something, and from the bottom of his heart he was still afraid of blasphemy, but he was very curious about what kind of punishment he would receive in the future—that kind of strange curiosity that defended the law.

Hadu made up his mind: the subordinates around him were still waiting for him to make a decision. He no longer hesitated, and directly launched a plundering of the "belief in the god of war" against the guards and high priests of the sacrificial system in front of him. Immediately, a certain light disappeared in the eyes of the priests of these original tribes, and the high priest was also stunned, while the guards threw away the spears and large discs in their hands with a "whoosh".

Hadu watched with satisfaction what was happening before him, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and he hurriedly climbed to a higher rock to look, and saw that it was a small group of cavalry in gold armor running farther away. Seeing the ritualistic patterns painted on the golden armor, Hadu came down and questioned the disillusioned high priest. After some questioning, Hado's face was extremely gloomy: the High Priest was actually stalling for time and diverting the target, so that the sacrificial soldiers could quickly flee and ask for help from the Mo-Ruq-Fa's original ally, Mu-Tua-Yin. Upon further inquiry, Hado learned that the Mu-Tua-Yin tribe "in the place where the sun had set" was actually larger than the Mo-Ruq-Fa: the other party had built a stone-walled city-state by a large river.

This information did make Hadu a little melancholy, but fortunately, it would take at least two days to ride from "Mo-Ruq-Fa" to "Mu-Tua-Yin", and his first priority now was to deal with the matter after conquering the tribe in front of him.

Back at the towering "clan", Hadu left only three leaders behind for the others to avoid. Then he listened carefully as the three leaders told him about the original resources of the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" tribe.

It turns out that in this backward area, there is an open-pit green copper-zinc mine. And it was by chance that the tribe knew how to use these copper mines: the old craftsman, who had been plundered by Hado, had made a fire by the copper mine to roast meat when he was young, and observed that the originally sky-blue stone would gradually turn into a shining yellow under the scorching flames, which aroused the young man's curiosity. Through a variety of different experiments, it was finally found that piling firewood in the hollowed-out boulders and igniting them, and placing the ore in them to burn them, finally produced a flowing and hot mineral liquid, which was collected and shaped into various weapons and armor before solidification, and was very strong after solidification, and stone weapons could not resist this new material. With such a unique resource, "Mo-Ruq-Fa" gradually developed here and became a rare tribe of 1,000 people in the grassland.

And this tribe knows how to tame horses, that is, the skills that have been passed down for generations, basically any person in the tribe has a long experience in horse taming, and knows the habits, tastes, and temper of horses well, and even in the tribe, those with strong horse training ability can also obtain divine note words.

Counting the riders who were subdued by Hado, there were 2,117 people in the clan, of which 626 were cavalrymen, 421 were craftsmen in various fields, only 50 were engaged in smelting, and the rest were women and children.

Hado talks with the three chiefs for a while and realizes that it was a major mistake to take away their loyalty to his tribe. Under normal circumstances, the four elements of victory between the tribes crush the resistance of the defending enemy, and then through pacification and reconciliation, the remnants of the defeated tribe are smoothly merged into the victorious tribe. Now, the people of the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" tribe have not gone through wars, in other words: although they are no longer loyal to the original tribe, it does not mean that they will be willing to be directly integrated into the "Ka-Sin-Ki" tribe, not to mention that the Hado tribe is so small that it is not even possible to talk about "incorporation".

Now these people of the original "Mo-Ruq-Fa" tribe are in a delicate social state: they do not belong to any tribe, so they do not have to be loyal to any tribe, and because they have broken away from the faith of the original tribe, they no longer have to worship the god of war "Ki-Sjuo'ol"; they have no faith and no direction, but they still need to go out to hunt, smelt ore, make weapons and armor, and patrol on horseback to defend against enemy disasters every day, and their daily life still has to go on.

It can be said that Hadu plundered not only their loyalty to the original tribe, but in fact ushered in a new era of primitive society - an era without primitive worship. Hadu's move was definitely a feat, but it also brought disaster to the tribes of the steppe.

People who originally had faith can get rid of their original beliefs through various methods of vilification and slander, and then carry out new beliefs after they are promoted, beautified, and homogenized. But these methods are ineffective against people without faith, and no amount of negative propaganda can affect "things that do not exist", or in other words, if they want to conquer people without faith, they are immune and invincible to any other means except complete destruction from the material plane.

And there is one thing that Hado also perceives: these people who have lost their faith are not punished by God for not worshipping the god of war, but there is an atmosphere of relief and relief after a long period of restraint. At this time, Hado also began to reflect on his reverence for the so-called gods for so many years, and for the first time he felt how hypocritical and powerless these images of the gods were conjectures: if no one revered these gods, it could even be said that these gods did not exist. This also made Hado suddenly understand that faith first took place, then there were concrete images of gods, and finally there was a systematic and institutionalized ritual regulation, and these steps finally shaped the primitive society with primitive worship as the core.

Hado's move was undoubtedly ahead of his time and brought a group of people into the era of "atheism", but whether the matter itself was good or bad is not something he can judge now. The only thing that made him a little happy was that after all, it was Hadu who opened a door to such a new state of life for this group of people who were no longer controlled by the pseudo-gods, and these people were willing to follow Hado, and were willing to be led by Hadu to lead them and lead them to explore in such a "new era" where their eyes were black and their future was gloomy.

Hadu needed some time and alone space to calm his mind, and he couldn't accept what was happening in front of him. The three leaders bowed respectfully but did not bow down, and then left Hadu to think alone on the top floor of the "clan".

Hadu immediately entered the consciousness space to check the accumulation of good and evil values, and he had a hunch that this time the good and evil values might be so much that they exploded. And even though he had already prepared for the worst, he was still surprised when he saw the data on the lines:

"You have plundered the loyalty of all the people of the entire tribe of the original 'Mo-Ruq-Fa' to the original tribe, with +1200 goodwill and +8000 malice;

You have plundered the complete Copper-Zinc Ore Ore Brass Smelting Technology with +800 Kindness and +450 Malevolence. ”

Hadu didn't expect that the accumulation of malicious values was so much more than the goodwill value. Of course, what shocked him the most was that the goodwill value accumulated this time was so small, and it was even less than the goodwill value obtained from the previous plundering of the starvation-resistant physique of the stone-billed eagle, which is really strange. !

Hadu waited for a while and didn't wait for the settlement, presumably because the accumulated good and evil values this time were not enough, so he continued to look at the words and lines to describe the specific changes in the good and evil values.

"You have freed the former 'Mo-Ruq-Fa' people from the bondage of the gods, and they are willing to follow in your footsteps +1000;

The outside image of your people who follow you is equivalent to a new tribe, granting you +200 extra reputation in the grasslands.

The brass smelting knowledge you gain will protect your people from outside harm +600;

You have laid the foundation for the improvement of your own weapons and armor +200"

The line describes Hado's belief in the gods as a kind of "bondage", which causes Hadu to fall into deep thought once again. From the good and evil values obtained from the excellent physique he plundered before, it can be found that these so-called excellent physique are plundered from the corresponding fierce beasts used as sacrifices, and to put it deeply, it is: the existence of faith has pushed up the reaction of the tribes on the grassland after Hadu obtains these physiques beyond ordinary people, and once they lose their faith, these so-called ferocious beasts with excellent physique are just some animals that live in the wild, have no wisdom, and drink blood. In other words, if Hadu had been born in an age without faith, then the good and evil values he had gained from plundering these wild animals would not have been more than a hundred, but would have hovered in his thirties and forties.

In the same way, for this group of people who have no faith, Hado's position as a high priest has no meaning, and the other party will not worship his position as something very noble, but as an ordinary person like himself. In this case, even if the other party is freed from the shackles, the goodwill value that can be obtained will not be high, and Hadu can also understand that the other party is now in such an ignorant state, which is very damaging to their self-confidence to move forward; on the contrary, if Hadu directly pointed out a promising and bright path to this group of people, then he is equivalent to the "high priest" of the new era, and the final goodwill value that can be obtained may be more than tens of thousands.

Now that you've figured out the reason for the accumulation of goodwill points in this plunder, the next step is the main event: the frighteningly high 8000 malice points.
