Chapter 388: Tribal Federation

The Tribal Confederation is the only large city-state fortress on the southwestern side of the Southern Continent that belongs to the indigenous people of the local tribes.

Initially forced by the oppression of Aden, some powerful tribes united in a coalition situation, and backed by lofty mountains, built a primitive but large stone fortress on the plain at the foot of the mountain.

Tang Jie stood halfway up the mountain, holding a wooden staff in one hand and a pergola on his forehead with the other, looking at the majestic and exotic fortress at the foot of the mountain with emotion.

Due to the long distance, Tang Jie could only see the rough outline and simple appearance of this castle.

In contrast to the Gothic-style buildings that can be found everywhere in the Eastern and Western Continents, the castle is more like a huge camp, surrounded by earth-brown walls made of stone bricks and earth.

Condescendingly, in this huge camp, there are many large and small tents and straw huts, and the requirements for food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the people of the southern continent are really unimaginably low, and they devote all their wealth and fanaticism to the worship of the gods.

In stark contrast to the simple house architecture and monotonous structure of the city walls, the perimeter of this huge city-state fortress is full of majestic and magnificent statues of gods.

In terms of carving and scale, these idols are no worse than the idols of any country in the Eastern and Western Continents, and even surpass them in some aspects.

Around the city-state are the statues of various beasts, there are rampaging rhinoceros, giant crocodiles, tigers, lions, goshawks, poisonous snakes, etc., they are all animal totems believed in by various tribes except the goddess Mavi, each totem represents a tribe, and how many statues outside the city-state represent how many tribes.

The smallest of these statues are more than ten meters tall, and each statue is about fifty meters apart, and they surround the city-state like a unique necklace.

The most conspicuous on this necklace is undoubtedly the idol of Mavi, the goddess of chaos, who is more than 30 meters tall, her body is smeared with colorful paint, and her powerful arms hold a longbow and spear and a scimitar respectively, and the two arms are drawn to shoot the longbow, while the other two arms hold the spear and scimitar respectively, making a stabbing and slashing shape.

The whole statue is full of wild, mysterious, masculine, brave and other atmospheres, which makes people feel shocked at a glance and is very visually stimulating.

"Thank you, gods, we're finally here!" Tang Jie turned around and said with a sigh to the people behind him.

After escaping a terrible forest fire, they immediately lost nearly half of their people, although there was a wet cloth covering their mouths and noses on the road, but because they had to flee quickly, some people would inadvertently make the hand covering their mouth and nose leave its place in the process of running down the mountain, so that he inadvertently inhaled a mouthful of deadly poisonous smoke.

This is how many people have fallen on the way to flee.

But this was not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing was the difficulties that their group encountered on the way to the Tribal Federation.

Leaving aside the undignified escape from the Holy Mountain, let's just say that the remaining seventy or so people chose to take a boat along the river in order to do as fast as possible, which was enough to kill them.

When Tang Jie got off the homemade raft, he swore to all the gods in the heavens that this kind of rapids adventure was more terrifying than any storm he had encountered in the sea.

For the whole seven days, they were almost all floating on the water, and once they encountered the rapids, it was a nightmare encounter!

The fierce current in the river stabbed the body like a javelin, and from time to time there would be an unnamed fish jumping out of the river to bite the people sitting on the raft, and the most terrifying thing was that sometimes the rapids were too fast to make the raft hit the rock in the river like a wild horse, and the raft would destroy people.

Every time he entered the rapids, Tang Jie would nervously look at Dadama and Tobulme on the raft, for fear that the two women would let the wild horse crash into the rocks.

Even in the calm river area, their journey is not easy, because here fist-sized insects buzz around them, and suddenly a giant crocodile will emerge from the water, bite a raft into pieces, and then drag the raft into the water along with the people on the raft.

Such a terrifying journey caused the number of their group to quickly drop sharply, from more than 70 to 20 people, and most of them died in the drifting process.

The only thing that made them happy was that they had covered the two-month walk in seven days, and even when they appeared in front of the Tribal Federation, the army of Aden had not seen a trace at all.

One of the greatest troubles of being a prophet is that there are always doubts of one kind or another before something happens.

"We didn't see Aden's army, are you wrong?" said Dadama standing behind him with a frown, holding a wooden spear in one hand, which in fact served more as an artemisia in a drifting raft.

Tang Jie glanced back at Dadama, this woman is almost **, after running down the mountain, she has been like this, as if there is no trace of shame unique to women, on the contrary, when Tang Jie's eyes fell on her chest and buttocks more than once or twice, she instead straightened her chest and raised her buttocks, as if she felt that it was a supreme honor to be able to show such a sexy and wild body.

If it weren't for Tang Jie's clear memory that he indirectly killed her compatriots, Tang Jie would definitely feel that this woman was seducing him.

In fact, the natives of the Southern Continent do not have any concept of chastity and shame, which is also reflected in Tobulme's body, now she is almost naked, all the animal skin clothes on her body have been torn and broken during the escape from the holy mountain and the rafting of the rapids, and Tang Jie's gaze has also stayed on her many times...... Even when the raft is at its most dangerous.

Tang Jie's eyes swept quickly over Dadama's chest and slender legs, his eyes showed a strong desire, God is pitiful, although his body is tired during the seven-day journey, his injuries have improved a lot, and at least the male ** hope has also begun to move in his body.

Tang Jie quickly retracted his gaze, coughed dryly, and said, "No, I will never be wrong in this matter." If I were Aden, I would definitely uproot the tribes around the Tribal Federation one by one......"

As he spoke, Tang Jie turned his head, looked at Dadama with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and tried not to look at her chest, "You say, what will they do with these poor people who have been attacked and burned down their villages?"

Dadama pondered for a moment and shook her head, she was very bad at thinking.

Tobulme on the side answered: "Like us, flee to the Tribal Federation?"

Tang Jie snapped his fingers: "That's right, so we will definitely see those people who are as unfortunate as us running here in groups!"

Puzzled, Dadama asked, "Why did they do this?"

Tang Jie smiled, pointed to the huge city-state like a camp, and said, "How many people are in such a big city? How much food will be consumed every day?

"The most important thing is, when these attacked tribesmen run into the city and tell the bad news to the tribesmen of each tribe, what kind of fluctuations will it bring to the city?" Tang Jie sneered at the corner of his mouth, and no one knew whether he was laughing at Aden or the unfortunate natives who had fled.

"Look!" Saiya, who was following behind, came to Tang Jie, and after a little glance at the city in front of him, she pointed in a direction and shouted in surprise.

Tang Jie and the others looked in the direction of her finger, but saw a group of people walking slowly towards the city-state, some of them were on crutches, and some were lying on stretchers and being carried forward, the team was messy and looked embarrassed and bleak.

"It seems that someone is going to enter the city before us!" Thormay frowned, she knew that seeing these fleeing compatriots here meant that what Tang Jie had said before had begun to be fulfilled.

Saiya listened to Tobulmay's words, frowned and looked at her slick body, cursed the shame of this indigenous person in her heart again, and then stood quietly in front of her and Tang Jie, trying to use her body to block Tang Jie's sight.

Of course, Tang Jie didn't notice the thoughts behind this small action, he just waved to the survivors behind him and said loudly: "Let's go, we can finally sleep on land today!"

As Tobulme finished translating Tang Jie's words, the surviving natives erupted in cheers for the rest of their lives, and the seven days of drifting had tormented their beastly bodies.

The group descended from the hillside, stepped into the yellow-brown plain ground, and walked about a kilometer below the walls of the city-state, when suddenly the gate of the city-state opened, and a group of knights riding lizards rushed out of it.

These knights trampled on the flying dust and came to the front of Tang Jie and his party.

"Who are you, why do you offend the territory of the Tribal Federation!" one of the knights at the head pointed the spear in his hand at Tang Jie's nose and shouted loudly.

This is a young man, with dark skin, a proud look, a strange and mysterious picture painted on his body, a lizard under his crotch is tall and strong, and he wears a steel helmet on his head, and there are reins on both sides of the helmet, which is not common, Tang Jie secretly speculated, this guy may be an indigenous person with a relatively high status?

Tobul Me, who was on the side, stepped forward and said loudly: "I am the patriarch of the Kokoltan tribe, we have been attacked by the Golden Ivory Tayading, and now I have specially come here from the other side of the distant Holy Mountain to report this terrible news to the Tribal Federation!"

The proud knight looked as if he had not heard Thobulmay's words, and his eyes were only fixed on Thobulmay's body up and down, his eyes full of greed and desire.

Tang Jie looked at him in his eyes, and was very unhappy in his heart: Boy, don't mess with your mind, otherwise you won't have good fruit to eat!
