The Arata tribe, the strong smell of blood enveloped the entire camp.

Looking at the camp strewn with corpses, the crowd led by Shinar all looked stunned.

The impact of this scene on them was too great, and their brains couldn't react for a while.

Shinard, who turned over and dismounted, almost fell to the ground with a soft foot.

It stands to reason that Shinar was skilled in arching and horses since he was a child, and he was still the number one warrior in the tribe, so he should not make such a small mistake.

In the past, if someone fell down when they dismounted, they would inevitably attract the ridicule of many people, but now, no one is in that mood.

"Abba, Abba!"

A panicked Shinal screamed and rushed into the corpse-strewn camp, which was littered with corpses as far as the eye could see.

Looking at the familiar faces, at this time, Shinal's heart was undoubtedly tormented, and when that familiar face entered his eyes, the tears he had been holding back flowed like a burst.

"Abba!!"

Holding his father's body in his arms, Shinar was almost crazy at this time.

"Who is it? Who did it?!! ”

Just when Shinal was full of grief, somewhere in the steppe.

In the tent of the leader of the Tuhote tribe, after hearing the report of the tribe's subordinates, Ohana directly smashed the wine bowl in his hand.

"Sand? You told me that after robbing for a long time, more than 200 horses died, but the Xia people transported not grain, but sand?! ”

At this moment, Ohana's face was simply unsightly and terrifying, and after a cloudy and uncertain look, he ordered: "Mobilize men and horses for me, and settle accounts with that old fox of Alat!" ”

The information of the Xia people's grain transportation team was provided by Alat, and the plan to join forces to rob the grain was also proposed by Alat, and now half of the grain has not been grabbed, but the men and horses sent by his Tuhott tribe have lost a lot, and the old fox of Alat must give him an explanation.

Ohana was not the only tribal leader who went crazy after learning the news, but Ohana was definitely the one with the most grumpy temper.

If you want to say who is the most calm among these major tribes, it must be Shiwaka of the Morhan tribe.

Looking at the person in front of him, Schwagka chuckled, "This time, I've worked hard for you." ”

"The leader doesn't have to be like this."

This person is none other than Durid, who had just attacked the Arata tribe earlier!

In fact, Duzhd is a member of the Morkhan tribe, and he is also a diehard loyalist of Schwaga!

For all these years, he has been working as a horse thief, collecting men and horses for the Morhan tribe on the outskirts of the steppe.

"Alright."

Schwaka waved his hand calmly and asked, "Let me ask you, have you done it?" ”

"Chief, please rest assured, I called people back and forth to confirm twice, and there was absolutely no flaw left!"

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Schwaka nodded with satisfaction.

Durid asked a little puzzled: "It's just that I don't understand one thing very clearly, didn't I say that I had to deal with another tribe with fewer centaurs at the beginning?" Why did it temporarily change to attack the Aratha tribe? There are a lot of people left behind by the Arata tribe, and we have lost a lot of people and horses in this wave. ”

Faced with this question, Schwaka explained: "Suddenly I felt that the Aratha tribe was more suitable. ”

At this, a meaningful smile appeared on Schwaka's face.

The leader of the six tribes of the steppe, Arat is the most shrewd one among them, and it is more reassuring to let him die early.

For this, he didn't mind paying a little more for it.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent.

"Chief, Naturu is back."

"Call him in."

Moments later, Naturu walked into Swagka's tent.

Naturu looked at Schwaka, his face full of reverence.

"Leader, that grain transport team is really a trap for the Xia people, you are really amazing!"

In the face of the compliments of his subordinates, Schwaka just smiled and shook his head.

"It's nothing, if you want to defeat an enemy, you have to get to know him first. Those idiots, who don't even know what they're facing, how can they have a chance of winning? ”

"The more I understand now, the more I can feel the power of that Great Xia Emperor, with only Ouhana's gang, it is impossible for that Great Xia Emperor to be the opponent at all."

"When the ice and snow on this grassland melt, I'm afraid it will be their death time, and before that, I have to seize the opportunity to do something. Calculate the time, Ohana's violent temper should have already taken the centaur to settle accounts with Alat, right? ”

With that, Schwakaka waved his hand to make the two of them stand back, and he pulled out a bronze war knife from under the cushion that should not have appeared in the grassland, and reached out to stroke it gently.

Feeling the sharp blade, his eyes deepened.

On the grassland, the wind and snow are blowing harder and heavier.

Shinal sat in the snow with his father's body in his arms, motionless like a snowman.

"Shinard."

Listening to the familiar voice, Shinal's eyes rolled slightly, looking at the middle-aged man standing beside him, his mouth opened a few times, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth.

"Uncle Amossi."

Looking at Shinal's dejected appearance, Amosi sighed in his heart.

"Your father is dead, and you will be the new leader of the Arata tribe in the future, you must cheer up and be like a man."

Amossi's reminder sent a look of pain to Shinal's face, and his facial muscles, frozen by the wind and snow, looked extremely distorted at this moment.

Looking at Shinal's painful appearance, Amosi also showed a bit of pain on his face, he had no heirs, so he had always raised Shinar as his own child, but now it seems that the eldest brother and him were too protective of Shinar in the past.

This child is indeed talented and brave, but no matter how good the talent is, if he does not experience hardships and setbacks, how can he be a great responsibility?

Amossi, who regretted this in his heart, subconsciously shifted his gaze to the corpse of his eldest brother Alat, but this glance made him see a trace of unusualness.

"Shinard, the eldest brother seems to be dragging something in his hand."

Hearing this, the expression on Shinal's face changed significantly, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the hands of his father's corpse.

Sure enough, one of them was dragging something in his hand.

After a burst of repentance, Shinal carefully broke his father's stiff fingers and took out the object that had been dragged in his hand.

"It's ...... Skins? ”

Grabbing the tattered hide, a hint of doubt flashed in Shinal's eyes, and he tried to unfold it and lay it on the snow.

"There seems to be some pattern on this hide." Amossi, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke.

Shinal didn't answer, he also saw the pattern on it, but it was obviously only a part of it, and it was difficult for him to judge for a moment what the pattern on the animal skin was.

"Hides, patterns......"

On the grassland, there is only one pattern that can be painted on animal skins, and that is the totem of each tribe!

The steppe people would make flags out of animal skins, and in the steppe tribes, this flag painted with different patterns was a symbol of each tribe.

In other words, it should be part of a certain totem, and under this premise, there are very few tribes that have the strength to attack the Arata tribe and kill all the other tribesmen.

Thoughts flew in Shinal's mind, and among the six major tribes, the totem patterns of each tribe kept appearing in his mind, and compared with the totem in his hand.

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, Shinard's fists clenched suddenly.

"It's the totem of the Tuhote tribe!!"

Hearing this, Amosi's heart jumped, he was much older than Shinal, and his life experience was much richer than Shinal, and he instinctively felt that something was not right.

"Shinard, I think ......"

Just as he was about to say something, a man ran over with a panicked face.

"No... Oh no, Ohana, the leader of the Tuhote tribe, is coming to us with a lot of horses! ”

Hearing this, Hinal immediately laughed angrily.

"Just in time! Gather my men and get them all ready for battle! ”

As he spoke, Shinal hurried there in a murderous manner.

Seeing this, Amosi hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him: "Shinar, calm down, I think something is wrong." Also, why did the people of the Tuhote tribe attack our tribal camp? ”

Shinal said without hesitation: "Now that everyone is short of food, who is not robbing it?" The cattle, sheep and horses in the camp are all gone, and Abba is still dragging their totem fragments in his hand before he dies, what's wrong?! ”

Amossi's words made Amossi unable to refute, looking at Shinal, who was directly preparing to lead people out of the camp, Amossi sighed heavily, and finally followed hard.

At the same time, Ohana was also leading his own tribe's men and horses to quickly approach the camp of the Arata tribe.

However, he didn't bring a lot of people, this was to prevent misunderstandings, and after being the leader for so many years, Ohhana still has this brain,

This winter, the tribes have suffered heavy losses, it is better not to go to war or not to fight, this time he just wants to ask for an explanation, and has no intention of starting a war with the Arata tribe.

As a result, as soon as he approached the periphery of the Arata tribe, a strong smell of blood hit his face.

"What's going on! How could there be such a heavy smell of blood on the side of the Arata tribe? ”

At this moment, a dense sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.

At this time, Shinal's heart was full of anger, and he was already blinded by hatred, and he directly took the only remaining more than 500 horses of the Arata tribe, and rushed all the way to Ohana and the others who had broken into his field of vision!

Ohana and the others, who didn't know what the situation was at all, changed their faces suddenly on the spot, and in the current situation, it was naturally impossible for them to sit still, and when they saw that there were many people on the other side, Ohana hurriedly ordered a retreat.

However, at this time, Shinard, who was in a rage, was obviously not going to give up.

"Want to run? Give me chase! ”

With a roar of rage, Shinar stared directly at Ohana and chased after him.

Ohana and Alat are of the same generation, and their old age and physical strength are already much worse than before, and they are soon overtaken by Alat.

At this time, Ohana's heart was full of regret, if it wasn't for the fact that he had come to Arat to ask for an explanation, he would not have braved the wind and snow to come here.

As a result, the statement was not successful, but was misunderstood by the other party and regarded as an enemy.

"Give me death!"

The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and after a chase, I saw the spear in Shinal's hand, which stabbed quickly and fiercely, and without waiting for Ohana's reaction, it had already penetrated Ohana's throat.

Ohana's eyes widened and his body rolled off his horse, and even when he died, his eyes were full of anger and confusion.

At the same time, on the other side, a group of cavalry was also quietly approaching the periphery of the Tuhote tribe, led by Duride and his party.

Schwaga expected that the grumpy Ohana would definitely go to Arat for an explanation, but Ohana, who did not plan to go to war with the Arata tribe, would definitely not bring too many men with him.

In the face of the angry Shinar, he will definitely not stop his explanation, so that Ohana's line will definitely be more auspicious.

After calculating the time and estimating that it was almost over, Duride decisively waved his hand, and the whole army assaulted, killing the Tuhote tribal camp not far away in one go.

Unlike when they raided the Arata tribe before, at that time, most of the men and horses of the Aratha tribe were taken out by Shinar to steal food, so the number of men and horses guarding the tribe was only a few hundred, which was not enough to match them.

But on the side of the Tuhote tribe, the men and horses who went out to rob the grain had already returned at this time, and Ohana only brought 300 men and horses to the side of the Alata tribe, in other words, there were quite a few people and horses in the camp of the Tuhott tribe at this time.

However, from the very beginning, Schwaga did not want to slaughter the Tuhote tribe.

On the one hand, it is impractical, even if he is slaughtered, he will have to pay a terrible price, and on the other hand, it is naturally more useful to let the Tuhote tribe live half-dead than to let them die directly.

At the same time, it is precisely for this reason that Duride himself did not rush to kill this time, after all, his face is still quite recognizable on the grassland.
