Chapter 149: If you don't accept it, you will be convinced
"Your Majesty!"
"Zhuqing doesn't need to be polite, this is not above the court, these false courtesies can be avoided in the future, I just arrived in Xilin, but I heard that there are a few tribes who seem to be unwilling to attach themselves to my Dachu!" Leng Zhuo withdrew from the southbound team, and rushed all the way to Shuzhong, fortunately, this Xilin City stood out like a flock of chickens in this land, and finally let him miss it.
Sun Wu and Wu Zixu glanced at each other, and Sun Wu stepped forward and said: "There are lizard horns, Bai Lin and several other departments have not yet agreed to the conditions for us to form a servant army, but the other party has not completely refused, we are currently negotiating with the envoys of these tribes, I believe that there will be an answer in a few days!"
Leng Zhuo sighed, glanced at Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, and said: "The barbarians have always been brainless, and they actually know how to negotiate, but this will delay a lot of time, the second wave of white tiger deer riding has been off for two days, and the army will be dispatched soon, so if it drags on, if these barbarians still don't agree, or procrastinate, we don't have time to spend it with them here!"
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
"It's very simple, since you don't want to surrender, then fight until they surrender, if you don't accept this, then you will directly exterminate the clan, rough is a little rougher, but to deal with barbarians, whether it is a raw barbarian, or a mature barbarian, this set is always much easier to use than just negotiating!"
"Your Majesty, it's not that these tribes are completely unwilling to rely on my Da Chu, it's just that there are some stubborn guys who obstruct it and don't want to leave their rights behind?"
"Wouldn't it be better, if we send troops, the pressure on those stubborn fellows will increase, and the side that leans towards us will have more reason to convince these people, won't I? But if these people still don't know what to do, then don't blame!"
"Wu Shangshen, you will send a message to these tribes tomorrow, I will give them two days to think about it, and there will be no answer after two days, I will personally lead the troops to the door to ask for an answer!" Leng Zhuo said directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sun Wu and Wu Zixu did not object, in fact, even if Leng Zhuo didn't do this, they planned to use troops to coerce them. However, they didn't plan to actually use the army, and the first one was planning to see blood.
"Since there is no problem, let's let the army prepare, and how is the formation of those servant armies going!"
"Back to Your Majesty, the servant army temporarily has four medium-sized tribes, more than twenty elite members of small tribes, most of the soldiers have arrived in the big camp, organized according to the tribes, the small tribes form two battalions, and the medium-sized tribes form four or five battalions. At present, 48 battalions have been formed, and a total of eight regiments have been formed according to the six battalions, and nine battalions are still under construction.
"There are also more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, so let's order the barbarian regiment that has been formed to also be dispatched, and it is just right for these barbarians to see the power of my Great Chu Army. Let them know what will happen if they go against me!"
The Lizard Horn Department is the most powerful tribe in Xilin County except for the Xilin Crocodile Toast Department, and in the past, this tribe was competing with the Xilin Crocodile Department for the position of Toast, and then lost in a key battle, resulting in the Xilin Crocodile Department overpowering the Lizard Horn Department. However, the advantages of the Xilin crocodile are not obvious enough to wipe out this tribe.
In the end, it was just to let the Lizard Horn Department surrender, and then the Xilin Crocodile Department ascended to the throne of the Xilin Tusi, the soil emperor, over the years, the Xilin Crocodile Department has been targeting the Lizard Horn tribe all the time, but in the entire Xilin region, the Lizard Horn Department has contacted several large tribes of considerable size to unite into a group, although the strength is not as strong as the growing strength of the Xilin Crocodile Department, but want to gnaw down. There will also be a lot of losses, and this is likely to make the powerful Tusi Department from outside enter Xilin, so the situation has been stalemate.
The Lizard Horn Department worships the lizard god, an amphibian reptile beast like a crocodile, although it cannot be compared to the swamp area of the Xilin Crocodile Division. But in the southern Xilin jungle, there is also a large population, which is also the most powerful force of the lizard horn department.
The warm and humid air, the spring-like climate of the year, and the fact that nearly half of the year is immersed in smoke and rain, these conditions give this land a vibrant life, and the towering giant trees do not seem to be a rare existence.
A giant tree guarded the plain around it like a guard, holding up a huge canopy of shade, countless branches like criss-crossing crossroads, lush foliage covering the entire canopy, and through the dense foliage, the fine sunlight always shone through the cracks through which the wind blows.
Hiss, hiss, a long soft tongue poked out from a tree trunk, wet licking on the cheek of a barbarian young man leaning on the trunk, and suddenly woke up the young man, the young man sighed, patted the trunk in front of him like old bark: "Blazing sun, I just fell asleep, you wake me up!"
Hiss, hiss!
"Oh, are you saying it's dangerous?" The barbarian youth looked at the four-clawed chameleon-changing lizard dragon that kept hissing, quickly wiped his eyes, stepped on the thick branches, brushed aside the dense trunk, and looked ahead.
But it's okay not to look at this, seeing this young man's face suddenly changed greatly, in the distance, countless soldiers and horses appeared in the black pressure, and the blood-red armor emitted a blood-colored halo under the sunlight, looking at it, I couldn't see the edge, how many people did it take.
Of course, this is not the crux of the problem, the key problem is that this army is coming in the direction of their tribe, the Lizard Horn tribe is not located on any traffic artery, even on the edge of the Xilin rainforest, surrounded by jungle on three sides, only to the north there is such a passage, this is definitely not passing by, but coming to them.
Recently, there have been a lot of rumors in the tribe that the Xilin crocodile Tusi Department has been overthrown by a group of Chu troops from Dachu, and now Xilin is the master of this Dachu family, and the tribal elites who came back from Xilin City said that the Chu army is wearing heavy blood-colored armor, numbering tens of thousands, and also has countless high-grade blades.
How did they end up here, Vado's head couldn't turn around, but it didn't matter, the important thing was to quickly get the news back to the tribe: "Go, Blazing Sun!" Vado rode directly on a wooden stake, and the stake suddenly changed.
As the color changed, a chameleon-changing dragon with a long head lifted its protective color, and the silver hooks on its four claws grabbed the trunk and leaped down quickly. There is a thin membrane of flesh between its claws and belly, like wings, but these wings obviously do not help it fly, only allowing it to glide short distances.
But that was enough, and after landing smoothly from a tree several feet high, the four-clawed chameleon dragon immediately spread its claws and ran wildly at a fairly fast speed, many times faster than the same short-legged crocodile.
Chameleon drakemon, the best hidden sentinel. It is able to blend itself into its surroundings so that enemies cannot detect it, and with its 360-degree spiral eyes, it can see objects moving from a distance, and in the Lizardhorn Tribe, it has also formed a jungle thorn with chameleon-changing drakemons.
In the jungle, this force is arguably the most feared existence.
30,000 Great Chu troops, more than 20,000 servant troops, a total of more than 50,000 army movements, pulled into a line. It's really a bit overwhelming, this is the second day of the ultimatum, there is still an afternoon before the specified time, plus a night time, but it seems that Leng Zhuo has been waiting for impatience, so tens of thousands of troops have made preparations in one day, and before dawn in the morning, the army will drive south.
"Newspaper. The soldiers and horses composed of many tribes of the Great Chu Army have crossed the forest pass and set up camp nearby!"
The news continued to be transmitted to the largest foot tower of the Lizard Horn Division, the core layer of the Lizard Horn Division, where the patriarch who held the power of the clan, the priest who held the divine power, and the prestige of the clan. Also the most knowledgeable of the Presbyterian Church consists of three parts.
The patriarch has absolute authority in peacetime, and the sacrifice is only responsible for worshipping and sacrificing the sacred beasts of the tribe, while the Council of Elders is composed of a number of retired old patriarchs and the most knowledgeable old men in the clan.
Usually. These three will not get together, especially the patriarch and the sacrifice, these two are almost incompatible, but at this moment, these can determine the future of the tribe's upper echelons. But it's all together.
Huh, the patriarch of the Lizard Horn tribe, Lizard Long, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but then his heart was full of anger: "What are those Chu people going to do, do they use soldiers to suppress our great Lizard Horn tribe, do they want to start a war before they give up!"
The tribal priest is a bewitching beauty, wearing a gorgeous sacrificial robe with snow-white brocade and gold threads, which looks a little holy and bright, but in the eyes of the dragon, it is even more attractive.
Yingluo took a sip of the tea that was glowing with mist, and said in a sweet voice: "If the patriarch doesn't have a plan tomorrow morning, then our Lizard Horn Tribe is not far from war!"
"What do you mean by this? Do you think that the patriarch is deliberately provoking a war!"
"This sacrifice didn't say that, but the Chu people have already said it clearly, I'm just making things clear!" Yingluo smiled lightly, not at all fluctuating for the other party's anger, and even faintly happy in his heart.
The relationship between the divine power and the real power of the patriarch is actually one and the other, the divine power is strong, her sacrifice can overpower the patriarch, and the influence on the tribe is stronger, and the patriarch is strong, and the sacrifice with divine power can only pray to the divine beast elephant every day.
The conditions offered by the Chu people are not many, but they are very fatal to the patriarch, and most of the elite of the tribe are dispatched to form a servant army, obeying the command of the Chu people, you can imagine a tribe that has lost its powerful force, what else can it bargain with others, and in the same way, without these powerful warriors, how can the authority of the patriarch be guaranteed.
It can be said that this is a huge weakening of the rights of the patriarch, and on the contrary, because of the particularity of the divine right, the Chu people respect the beliefs and worship of various tribes, so they are very tolerant of the divine right, and it can be said that once the conditions of the Chu people are agreed, the divine right will overpower the rights of the patriarch.
Even, with the Chu people's fingers at the tribe, it is likely that the patriarch will be completely reduced to an ornament, if it is the patriarch of a small tribe, it is naturally indispensable, because their patriarch is a wet nurse, who is heartbroken for the survival of the tribe all day long, and in the face of the powerful Great Chu, it is easy for them to make a choice.
But a large tribe like the Lizard Horn Tribe, this patriarch is more than tens of thousands of people, like the emperor of the soil, in charge of life and death, holding great power, where is it so easy to give up.
