Chapter Seventy-Six: The Promised Land
Calavi Kingdom.
One of the eight kingdoms west of the Great Lakes region.
It was founded by indigenous people on the western shore of the Great Lakes region, bordered by the Kingdom of Buganda to the north and the Kingdom of Igala and Burundi to the west.
Its territory is mainly located in the territory of Tanzania in the former world.
Between the Great (Victoria) and Frederick (Albert) lakes and Sauron (Tanganyika) lakes, the land area is only about 150,000 square kilometres.
But there are eight indigenous countries, and this is the strongest area of East Africa where blacks are strongest. Among them, the Kingdom of Buganda was the most powerful state established by black people in the whole of East Africa (Abyssinia was not a purely black country, but was heavily influenced by Arab culture).
The names of these eight indigenous countries: Kingdom of Gitara, Kingdom of Turou, Kingdom of Nkol, Kingdom of Buganda, Kingdom of Karawi, Kingdom of Igala, Kingdom of Rwanda, Kingdom of Burundi.
Among them, the Kingdom of Buganda, the Kingdom of Igala and the Kingdom of Burundi are bordered by the colonies of East Africa.
As the East African colonies embarked on a "purge" campaign, indigenous tribes that had fled northwest poured into the three countries.
β¦β¦
Border of the Kingdom of Karawi.
As a slave kingdom, the Calaway Kingdom has no defense force in the east, after all, the eastern part was originally an indigenous tribe, and it did not pose any threat to the Calaway Kingdom at all.
The Eight Northwestern Countries, although they have formed states, are still in a fairly primitive stage, and their way of ruling is actually similar to that of colonies.
They all colonized the indigenous tribes within the territory through the army, some similar to the Shang Dynasty in China, through military conquest to make the local state called the minister and the tribute.
Therefore, it is impossible to counter the influx of refugees from the East African colonies with its inefficient state structure.
Today, another large group of people has entered the kingdom of Calavi from here.
They were a large indigenous tribe that originally lived in the savannah region of the East African colonies, with a total population of nearly 2,000 people.
The leader Odbiao, who can be said to be the male lord of the Luo tribe, has become an indigenous overlord in the prairie region through warfare, annexing surrounding tribes and plundering populations.
The good times did not last long, after the "purge" movement in the East African colonies, the city government of Tabora in the savannah region, in order to eliminate the indigenous tribe entrenched in the savannah area, gathered more than 500 armed forces to encircle and suppress the tribe.
Even if Odbil had three heads and six arms, he could not match the modern weapons of the East African colonies.
Soon after the battle, the Glutchi tribe was defeated.
Odebeet led the remnants on an arduous escape.
The colonial government could drive it to the northwest, so after a long journey of more than 200 kilometers, Odebiao's troops finally arrived at the border of the Calaway Kingdom today.
After a few days of fleeing, there are now only a thousand tribes left around Odbiao, and the war and the escape journey have reduced the number of the tribe by nearly half.
Odd was surprised to find that the demons who could use magic weapons stopped chasing them, as if they were unwilling to take a step forward.
In fact, the East African colonial government had already achieved the purpose of this trip, and in front of it was the kingdom of Karawi, whose goal was to drive these natives into its territory.
The naΓ―ve Odebiao thought that there were gods living in the northwest direction, so this group of devils did not dare to come forward.
Odebiao, who was also a tribal priest, was now energetic.
He picked up his wand and performed a strange dance in front of his people.
He stood on tiptoe and spun in circles on the ground, as if his feet were not the earth, but the fire.
No one could understand what he was saying, not even the members of the tribe, who didn't know what the leader was doing, but he looked very powerful.
With the blessing of spells and dances, it wasn't long before Odebiao's whole body began to twitch and his eyes began to roll white.
The witch battle in his hand began to slowly tilt towards the northwest, and finally turned into pointing directly to the northwest.
soil, Odd Biao let out a loud sound.
"Shakaraka ......"
The whole person "fainted" to the ground, and his subordinates were already frightened and did not dare to come forward to help.
After all, the appearance of the leader just now, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a symptom of "evil spirit", and Ao Debiao is the only high priest of the tribe, he can't solve it, and the extremely superstitious people don't dare to act rashly.
There are even people who have knelt on the ground and started to pray for the blessing of the tribal deity, who is a lion, so they have a lion head tattoo on it.
A hundred meters away, the soldiers of the East African colonies, who were responsible for keeping these natives and preventing them from running back, watched curiously as these natives were doing strange things there.
"What are these savages doing?"
"It looks like the god in the village in the past!"
"Didn't the leader roll his eyes just now, and so did the goddess in our village."
"You can see him roll his eyes from so far away?"
"Then I definitely can't see it, mainly because his actions are too similar to the goddess in our village, so I guess he rolled his eyes."
"This native, too, believes in gods and ghosts, which is a rare thing! Do you say that there is a god in this world, Lord Yama...... These? β
"This ...... There may be one in the Great Qing Kingdom, aren't we not in the Great Qing Kingdom now? O gods! O fairy! I can't care about us, now this land is blessed by God according to the Germans, and this God is the Jade Emperor in the Western Heavens. β
When the migrant soldiers exchanged heads.
Ao Debiao secretly narrowed his eyes into a slit, looking at the frightened appearance of the clansmen and feeling very satisfied, he wanted this effect.
In the past few days, Odbiao has been unlucky, encountering the iron fist of the colonial government of East Africa, losing the war, going into exile, and fluctuating the hearts of the tribe.
Today, he suddenly discovered that the soldiers of the East African colonies were no longer chasing, and he was worthy of being the hero of the tribe.
Immediately thought of a way to re-establish himself in the hearts of his people.
Ao Debiao, who fell to the ground, suddenly got up, sat cross-legged, played a clever game, his body shook, and he was instantly "sober".
In the astonished gaze of the clansmen, Odd Biao spoke: "Warriors of the tribe, just now, I received the guidance of the gods, and he told me, go northwest!" It was the promised land of the Greetes. β
"The gods live there, so these demons don't dare to take another step, you look back, those devils don't dare to come forward!"
The tribesmen followed Odbiao's hint and looked back, and it was true that the soldiers of the East African colonies were standing in place and had no intention of continuing the pursuit.
Seeing that the natives turned around one after another, the soldiers of the East African colonies suddenly seemed to be facing a great enemy, thinking that these natives wanted to make a final resistance, and clenched the guns in their hands.
Seeing the suddenly nervous soldiers of the East African colonies, the tribe was more convinced, Odebiao's statement, if it wasn't for the fear of the gods, what were they nervous about?
Thinking that they were protected by the gods, a tribe cheered, shouting "Odebiao Divine Messenger" and dancing around Odebiao in place.
Odd looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, and his hands were raised in the air, slowly falling downward, signaling silence.
"Warriors, we continue to march northwest, and the gods will bless us."
So Odebiao, who had re-established his authority, led his high-spirited people towards the kingdom of Calavi.
Soldiers in the East African colonies were baffled.
