Chapter Forty-Eight
The Gazelle tribe is located twenty miles west of Taoyuan Country, far from the Mara River, and the land is very barren. No way, that's it on the grassland, strength determines the position, the place where the water and grass are abundant has long been occupied by large herbivores, and it is not easy for the gazelle to find a place in the cracks, unfortunately even this palm-sized place is now being snatched away by others.
A herd of wildebeest is leisurely basking in the sun, although there is nothing to eat in this part of the gazelle tribe, but it is still quite good to exercise in the sports field.
"Hello everyone!" The tower said hello.
No one paid attention to him, and the wildebeest looked at the strange combination in front of them, elephant, bison, plus a gazelle, how did the three people who couldn't beat the eight poles come together today?
"I am the iron tower of Taoyuan Country, these two are the leader of the elephant herd Bronze Hammer, and the leader of the gazelle Drum Eye. I have heard for a long time the prestige of the wildebeest tribe as the king, and I have come to visit me today, and please pass it on. The tower bowed politely.
"I'm the hero." A tall and long wildebeest with two sharp horns on its head walked out, "It turned out to be the King of the Iron Tower and the King of the Copper Hammer!" Welcome, welcome, welcome. Hehe, everyone is a neighbor, don't open your mouth to the king, shut up the king, call our relationship a life. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Xiongba directly ignored the drum eye behind.
Tie Ta smiled slightly, this guy is very good at talking, and he looks very modest, not like a very unreasonable person, it seems that this mediation will not be too difficult.
But Xiongba's next words surprised the iron tower and the copper hammer, and this guy said this: "You can just call me the overlord." ”
It's not that the tower has never seen arrogance, but in front of this person, they are all pediatrics, and they dare to call themselves overlords, who gave him so much confidence?
"Overlord? Hey! The copper hammer sneered, if it weren't for the iron tower to stop him, he would have knocked this boy who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth into the air.
"What are the two kings doing this time?" Xiongba asked lazily, neither letting people sit or calling tea, he had already guessed a few points about the meaning of the tower, so his tone was cold, thinking that this is between me and Guyan, what do you mean by inserting a bar? Isn't this a dog meddling with a mouse?
"That's right, the King of Drum Eyes said that you robbed their territory, is there such a thing?" Tie Ta lost his good impression of him, so he lost interest in polite words, and explained his intention straight to the point.
"Yes, there is." Xiongba looked calm on the surface, but he was angry in his heart: "It's your bird business that I robbed the territory of the gazelle?" With a bit of brute strength, do you think you are the big brother of the Masai Mara steppe? I don't buy your account. ”
Xiongba does have arrogant capital, with so many people under his command, as long as he wants, he can destroy all tribes, including the elephant herd, with a single order, and the nascent Taoyuan Country is certainly not in his eyes.
"Then please give them back." Tie Ta said lightly.
"Why should I listen to you?" Xiongba tilted his head and plucked out his ears seriously, as if it was not a tribal leader who was talking to him, but a little squirt who appeared out of nowhere.
"Don't you think bullying someone is a very immoral act? What's the difference between this and a robber? The tower shouted, this guy doesn't get in oil and salt, it seems that the trick of reasoning with hard work will no longer work.
"I don't care about morality or immorality, I just need my subordinates to eat." Xiongba's face sank, and he said coldly: "Our wildebeest is the largest number of grasslands, but the territory is not as good as your herd, as the leader, of course I have to think about my compatriots." Iron Tower, I advise you, please stop talking about benevolence and morality, if you are really loving, really so great, set aside a piece from your own territory and give it to them, if you can't do it, please leave immediately. If you want me to spit out the meat that I have already eaten, there is no door! ”
"Robbing other people's things is even more reasonable, I have never seen a brazen person like you." The tower laughed angrily at him.
"Yes, I admit that my methods are indeed not very honorable, and I admit that I am a villain, but my true villain is far more noble than a hypocrite like you. Please, two! Forgive me for not sending it. The hero brushed his sleeves away.
"Your grandmother dares to talk to us in such a tone, I really don't know whether to live or die." The brass hammer couldn't hold back any longer, and the proboscis rolled towards him.
With a light jump, the male dodged it, and a group of wildebeest rushed up behind him, protecting him from the inner and outer layers.
"Brother, be merciful." The tower shouted.
"You're lucky." The brass hammer sneered and threw the two wildebeest far away.
"Tie Tower, I respect you as a guest and tolerate it in every way, but I didn't expect you to move your hand, no wonder I am." The hero raised his head and hissed, and a sharp whistling sound was heard far away.
All the wildebeest galloped over, and they were scattered everywhere inconspicuously before, but now they gathered together but a large area of black pressure, as many as tens of thousands of heads, and a shout surrounded the three people of the iron tower, copper hammer and drum eyes, and the sharp long horns were dense, like a forest of guns.
"Xiongba, do you want to bully less with more?" The tower sneered.
"So what? You forced me. Xiongba, who was hiding in the crowd, looked proud, "Iron Tower, I also know that you are the number one master on the grassland, and even the lion is not your opponent, but it's a pity that you haven't figured out one thing, now is not the era of lonely heroes, and more people are king." ”
A cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the copper hammer, although his strength can be one as a hundred, but it is absolutely impossible to be one as a thousand, am I going to die here today?
Drum Eye was even more frightened and peed his pants, and said tremblingly: "Ba...... Overlord, I don't want the territory, let us go! ”
"Let you go? It's too late. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it, if everyone else is like you and swagger away after making trouble, then what is the face of our wildebeest tribe? Xiongba took out a dry tobacco stick and smoked it leisurely, and the wildebeest knew that as long as the king's bag of cigarettes was finished, it was time to attack.
"Brother, protect the King of Drum Eyes." The tower did not panic in the slightest, and its huge body flew up, like a big bird rushing towards the hero.
"Escort!" A bearded wildebeest shouted.
"Yes!" In the midst of a neat sound, a row of wildebeest half-knelt on the ground, and the wildebeest behind them galloped forward two steps, their hind hooves on their companions' shoulders, and leaped towards the top of the iron tower in the air.
"Good time." The tower punched and kicked without mercy, and the wildebeest flew out like straw, screaming incessantly.
The hero was startled, and the red-hot iron cigarette holder in his hand smashed into the enemy. With a flick of the left hand of the iron tower, the dry tobacco rod flew out of the clouds, and the right hand grabbed the neck of the hero.
Everything happened between the lightning and flint, and the wildebeest only felt that the king had fallen into the hands of the enemy. Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, and the hapless guy who had been burned in the head by the dry cigarette mouthpiece seemed to forget the pain, and it was a long time before he screamed loudly.
The wildebeest woke up from a dream, and all aimed their horns at the tower, but they did not dare to act rashly, and the king was still in his hands, and if he was angered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The tower shouted: "All stand back, whoever dares to step forward, I will kill your king immediately." ”
The wildebeest were unmoved, and although they did not dare to attack, they did not retreat.
The tower slashed out with one palm, and a strong wind whistled out, knocking over more than a dozen wildebeest to the ground, and the deterrent effect of this thunderous blow was extraordinary, and the wildebeest retreated one after another.
"Overlord, you're so hospitable, you're going to send us out, aren't you?" The tower laughed.
Xiongba's tongue spit out, his face turned purple, where can he still speak?
The tower let go of his palm slightly, and the male dominate gulped in the air like a fish out of water, almost suffocating him to death.
Xiongba waved his hand, and the wildebeest group gave way to it, of course he is not a fool to be the leader, and he still understands the truth that heroes don't suffer losses in front of them.
"If I kill you like this, I guess you won't be convinced, you can go!" Out of the encirclement, the tower immediately released the hostages.
"If you think you'll make me grateful enough to force me to retreat, you're miscalculated." Xiongba ran out for a long distance, and when he felt safe, he stopped and said.
"I've never had this childish idea, and as for what you think, that's your business." The tower laughed and walked away.
"Brother Tower, why didn't you kill him just now?" Brass Hammer asked, puzzled.
"If you really kill him, then the contradictions between the two sides will not be able to be reconciled, things will only get more and more deadlocked, and the territorial issue will not be solved in this life."
"You can force him to retreat by force!" Drumeye said.
"It's not impossible to force people to comply, but it's not a long-term solution, Xiongba may agree on the surface, but he will definitely not accept it in his heart, even if he retreats at that time, it's hard to guarantee that he won't repeat his old tricks next time, and you don't want to be harassed by him all day long!" The tower explained.
"Shall he be allowed to occupy our territory?" Guyan said indignantly, people are like this, although he was so scared that he peed his pants at the time, but after getting out of trouble, he felt uncomfortable again.
"Don't worry, things will always turn around." Tie Ta comforted, "I will order the borders to be opened, and your people will live in Taoyuan Country for the time being!" ”
Guyan was so moved that he was not related to the tower, and his friendship with the tower was not particularly good, and there was no use value, but he was so generous and righteous, it was really a blessing to have such a hero in the herbivorous world.
……
The wildebeest tribe was quiet at night, Xiongba went to bed early, and the guards around him were twice as large as usual, although he believed that the tower was a bright and upright person, and disdained to engage in sneak attacks and assassinations, but now he had become a frightened bird, and it seemed that this was the only way to let himself sleep soundly.
In the darkness of the night, a large group of people silently approached the tyrant's dormitory, and then pounced on the guard's wildebeest, and the movements were very rough, and they did not want to hide their whereabouts at all.
"No, it's a lion!"
"And leopards and hyenas."
The wildebeest screamed and fled, though they were outnumbered by the Carnivorous Alliance, but they did not dare to resist, and fleeing was the only option.
Lamentable? Hateful? Or pitiful? No one can tell. This is the fatal weakness of herbivores, whether it is a wildebeest or a zebra, or even a former herd, no matter how strong their bodies are and how numerous they are, as long as they feel an inexplicable fear in front of carnivores. This fear is innate, it has been deeply engraved in their bones, not to mention the powerful lion, even a small leopard can make them feel distracted, so it is often seen in the grassland that the incredible scene can be seen: a hyena chases a large herd of wildebeests, and finally allows him to succeed......
"Who?" Xiongba exclaimed, in fact, he didn't fall asleep at all, as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the iron tower falling from the sky and rushing towards him, his throat seemed to be tied by a wire, and he couldn't even breathe, he knew that this was the sequelae of excessive fright, and it was no surprise that this symptom would continue for a long time.
"Xiongba, you are so majestic today! Dare to be rude to the king of the tower. Tomahawk flew and threw the Hero to the ground, "Did you know that the Tower King is a friend of our Flesh-Eating Alliance?" If you offend him, you will offend me, and if you offend me, you will die. ”
The vultures can see the things of the day clearly, and of course they will not let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Tomahawk captured useful information from the intelligence, and also made a quick decision, tonight to take the Xiongba, both to fill the stomach and to please the tower, it is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
The tyrant shivered, completely devoid of the arrogance of the day, and the breath that erupted from the mouth of the battle axe carried a strong smell of blood, which almost made him faint.
"Tomahawk, when will it be your turn to meddle in my affairs?" Suddenly, a cold voice came.
"King of the Tower, save me!" Xiongba shed tears of excitement, and the savior has finally arrived!
Why is this master here? The tomahawk's body stiffened, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly said with a smiling face: "I...... Am I not angry for you? This guy is empty-eyed and arrogant, and he should be taught a lesson. ”
"You mean that I'm inferior to you, and it's up to you to solve my injustices, don't you mean that?" The tower's eyes widened.
"No, of course not, I'll go." The tomahawk walked away in a beautiful way, and although the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, this operation was not for nothing, and a dozen wildebeest were put down outside, enough for everyone to have a full meal.
"Overlord, the Carnivorous Alliance has withdrawn, I should also go, you should be careful in the future." After saying that, the tower prepared to leave.
"King Tower, thank you." Xiongba was grateful and ashamed, "I have already decided, I will withdraw from the territory of the Gazelle Tribe immediately, please say sorry to the King of Drum Eyes on my behalf." ”
"I will." Tie Ta nodded with satisfaction, the master once told a story, which is in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang captured Meng Shu seven times and released him seven times, and finally made him willingly return to the Shu army, originally planned to follow Zhuge Liang to capture the hero, but he didn't expect to move him the second time, and solved the problem in a peaceful way, which is exactly what he wanted to see.
"It seems that I still need to read more! There are a lot of useful things to learn from it. Tieta sighed with emotion, and at the same time secretly determined: "I must go to Huaxia to open my eyes and see for a long time, so as to live up to this life." ”
