Chapter 54: The End
After another night's rest and a day's march, Bladefang led most of his troops to the Black River.
When the Witch Doctor, who had been left on the other side of the river, returned to report the news, the Tooth himself crossed the river to Bladefang's side.
The witch doctor, who was still very young, began to wave excitedly from afar.
"Your Excellency, Speaker, Tuya has come to report."
It wasn't until he was almost close to the blade that he barely suppressed his excitement and said in a low voice.
"You've worked hard, and you've done a good job at the front. Because of your efforts, the large army I led was able to arrive so smoothly. ”
Blade Fang used the words that he had forced out, and he didn't hesitate to praise.
He is indeed quite satisfied with this junior.
Whether it was the search for the camp or the preparation of supplies for the night's stay, he did it quite well, saving a lot of time for the large army.
"Where, it's also because of your trust."
As he spoke, the Tooth Witch Doctor's eyes flashed with a light that bordered on adoration, and although he was more rational than the people, he was clearly a veteran fan of Bladetooth.
Nodding encouragingly, Bladetooth asked,
"How? Did the signal corps arrive last night? Did the scout team scatter it? ”
"Yes, I received the news last night that the hunter who returned from you..... But I waited until the sun rose today to send out scouts. ”
"Well, it's okay, you're doing well, there's still some risk at night. So, what's the situation? ”
"Since we were not able to get too close to the Finai Department to observe, the information was not very detailed; From the size and equipment of the hunting party that set out this morning, and the few hunters we have caught, we know that they will be crushed by us, both in numbers and in terms of technology; The number of prime-aged and sub-adult trolls should be less than 600, and the total number of mouths is about nearly 1,000; In terms of equipment, they are almost all short spears with wooden poles and bone blades, and their attack power depends on the source of the bones..... Look at this one. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a nearly thirty-centimeter-long spearhead with a metallic sheen from his bosom and handed it to the blade fang.
'Good fellow, I don't know and I think you're here to assassinate.....
Despite the fact that Blade Fang complained in his heart, he didn't take any precautions in his actions, just took it naturally and observed it carefully.
The spearhead as a whole has a pointed arc blade, although it is generally metallic, but from the feel of the hand, it is indeed bone.
The tough skin of the fingers tentatively cut through the curved edges on both sides, and the protrusion at the top, which was presented as a large acute angle due to technical limitations.
As a result, although the epidermis could not be broken directly, if supplemented by the power of the troll, it was indeed enough to cause damage.
"It's really good, but it can't break the steel and wooden shield.... What about the shaft, what is the material? ”
"It's just some common wood, and the steel and wood heavy swords in the hands of the warriors can be easily cut, and they are not very reliable."
"If that's all there is to it, then the battle at the warrior level is basically not a concern, but what about the witch doctor...... Tsk, did you see their witch doctor? ”
"I'm sorry, but no..."
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
The power of the caster of the Fina Division, the blade tooth is still a little jealous.
Although they were only primitive spellcasters, the moment when they were able to die together was not to be underestimated.
At that point, the power of its spells will be independent of technology, and will depend entirely on the type of crystal and the remaining lifespan of the initiator.
In case this tribe is lucky enough to have several witch doctors with enough life to live at the same time, it will definitely be enough for him to drink a pot....
However, at this time, the troops were ready to fire, and it was not without the means to deal with it.
Therefore, Blade Fang did not intend to back down because of this uncertainty, but just made up his mind and prepared to take more precautions.
"When the army begins to cross the river tomorrow, you send the clever trolls to the Phinai tribe and tell their chieftain and the witch doctor that they will lead more than 700 people to visit tomorrow afternoon."
"This.... Didn't you give them time to prepare? Tuya was puzzled, and asked very bluntly.
"That's right, it's about giving them time to prepare. With our strength, this confrontation is not necessary and should not be attacked. What we want is to conquer rather than kill, and it is the best choice to crush from the front with dignity. ”
“.... You're right. ”
After another exchange and encouragement, Blade Fang finished delineating the precautionary task when the large army crossed the river in front of tomorrow, and let Tuya return to the other side of the river first.
~~~~~~
The night passed quickly, and by the time it was dawn, all the trolls had arrived at the crossing point with their baggage.
The runoff of the Heihe River is not large, and it is only in the section where it meets the Baihe River that a deep and turbulent area is formed under the joint action of both sides.
Today, the trolls are about to cross this section of the river, the water depth is less than two meters and a half, and the river is quite gentle.
As long as the trolls carry their baggage to the top of their heads and make sure that their food does not get wet, they can forcibly 'swim across' through the river.
This is indeed the case, even if Blade Fang chose a rather conservative plan to cross the river in order to preserve the weight as much as possible;
It took less than two lights before and after to complete the crossing of the river.
On the north shore, more than 600 trolls finally successfully joined the front after marching for five days and five nights, and the two teams hugged each other as if they hadn't seen each other for several years.
Blade Tooth ignored the stupidity of these gangs, and just ordered the squadron leaders to form the team in time, and then began to prepare for the follow-up with Tuya, who had not seen him all night, and his wife, who accompanied him all the way.
From here, turn northwest and travel about four more lights to reach the Finabe, which is the last leg of the journey.
However, they can't go straight to the road after crossing the river, and the trolls not only have to redistribute the weight they lost while crossing the river, but they also have to eat a meal to ensure that they arrive at their destination with the most energy.
When all this was ready, and the army was about to be on the road again, the time passed by nearly a light.
After a troll climbed the tallest nearby tree and reported the approximate angle of the sun, Bladefang was able to determine the 'accurate' time.
"3 o'clock in the morning.... Then set off and take one last break when there is still a light at the distance from the Fina Department. ”
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
After receiving the order, the squadron commanders, whether official or temporary, quickly went to their respective temporary stations, and after a little tidying up, they officially set off.
~~~~~~~~
After three light hours, in the strange sight faintly coming from the forest, the troll troops, which were already divided into the front and most of them, began to rest for the last time after scattering some of the scouts.
This time, there was no fire or troll to fetch water, they simply unloaded their rucksacks and began to move their hands and feet.
Bladefang came to the center of the army, signaling the trolls in one direction to spread out a little.
After that, he spent nearly three minutes of chanting to compress and increase a Wind Blade technique to the current extreme, and sparked it towards the chosen goal.
'Click! Thundered! ’
An innocent giant tree that had grown for an unknown number of years was cut off at the waist, and in the terrifying sound, it scraped against the other trees around it and slowly fell.
The trolls over there, even if they dodged in advance, were smashed with a large number of broken branches and leaves.
But they were not annoyed by the desire for power and the worship of those who possessed it, but they pulled themselves out of the stump with a little embarrassment, and looked feverishly at the fangs that were already standing high above the broken trunk.
"Fellow citizens! It's been five days since the trip! Along the way, hardships have not stopped us! Danger has not broken our will! And ahead! That's the end of the trip! ”
"My staunch warriors! Brave hunters! Good fellow citizens! This is not only the first time in my life that I have stepped out of the tribe, but also the first time that a civilization has visited the wild Black Forest! ”
"We are the purveyors of civilization! We come with goodwill and anticipation for the future! But if they refuse to accept this sincere kindness, they are not willing to embrace a bright future! For the common glory of all trolls, we will become conquerors and face blood! ”
"Tell me! Are you ready? ”
"Conquest! Subjugate! Subjugate! ”
"Conquest! Subjugate! Subjugate! ”
The trolls, who are thirsty for war, ignore the hypocritical 'civilization sowers' and instead focus on 'conquest'.
"Did you write it down? Pay attention to changing the slogans of these iron Hanhans. Although there was a sense of regret for the blind man to see, Blade Fang still commanded with great care.
"Okay, okay, you know, you're a hypocrisy.... But I like it. Meiya shook her hand, and there was still some wet mud tablet.
"Well, just write it down, if you are lucky enough to preserve it for thousands of years, it may become a proof of 'justice'."
