Chapter 268: Totem
Not far away, a large banner with the word "willow" was waving in the wind, and everyone in the witch clan suddenly became frightened.
"Oh my God! the Wei people are coming!" I don't know who screamed in horror first, and then the entire witch ghost clan territory screamed.
The territory of 100,000 people is very large, but the panic spreads very quickly, and in less than a stick of incense, all the witch and ghost clansmen know that the Wei people are coming!
The first thought of some witch people is to pack up their things and run away.
In the witch and ghost clan, there are all kinds of people, and some of them do not have the blood of the witch clan in their bodies at all, they are all taken captive since childhood, and they have either become slaves or oppressed.
Now is the perfect time to escape here, so why not?
Firming up on this idea, many people began to evacuate, and in the end, nearly a third of the people in the entire territory of the Witch Ghost Clan were missing!
Even, some of the Witch Clan's army ran away!
Kubatu was furious, and some of them took the deserters back, but at the moment he was too busy to take care of himself.
"What should I do, Barr?" asked Kubatu anxiously in the tent.
"I made a mistake, but I didn't expect to be counted by them. Barr sighed.
"Don't sigh, what are you going to do now, or surrender?" asked Kubatu.
He'd only been a Khan for a day, and he didn't want to die like that.
"Why surrender? We still have 30,000 troops left, and the permanent garrison of Double Moon City is only 50,000. ”
"They must have left enough strength in the city of Two Moons to deal with our ambushes, then at most 40,000 people will come here. ”
"30,000 to 40,000, we still have a certain chance of winning. Barr said.
There are only 50,000 permanent garrisons in Shuangyue City, but Barr forgot that Liu Chu brought people himself!
Liu Chu brought a full 100,000 soldiers and horses, but most of them didn't enter Shuangyue City, and only brought 10,000 people into the city.
So, at this moment, there are not 40,000 people, but only 10,000.
If Barr had known, he would have been even more happy.
"The strength of our warriors is not as good as theirs. Kubatu said helplessly.
"On the surface, it's true that it's not as good as the Wei army, but we have a secret weapon!" Barr said.
"Secret weapon, what secret weapon?" Kubatu was stunned for a moment.
"Totem!" Barr said, squinting.
"Totem?" The faces of the three ghost elders next to him changed drastically.
"Can the totem be used?" asked one of the elders.
"After the great change in the environment of heaven and earth, we can reactivate the totem, and with the blessing of the power of the totem, we will definitely win!" said Barr with a look of appraisal.
Totem, that's something peculiar to the steppe tribes, something like a guardian god, that's a belief of theirs.
This belief can be passed on, but it is not known from what it began.
The totemic beliefs of some tribes have been passed down for thousands of years, while others have only been for decades or even years.
The longer the totem is inherited, the more faith there is, and the stronger the power it inspires.
"You see, there are already points of light on the totem. Barr brought Kubatu and the three ghost elders to the tent.
Here, there is a totem of the witch and ghost clan, a black skeleton bird!
In the hollow eyes of the skeleton bird, two green flames were beating, and the whole body was also glowing with a metallic luster.
"Seemingly, it really works!" the ghost elders were taken aback. "Then summon the totem!" Kubatu was a little excited, once the totem came, let alone 40,000 Wei troops, even if it was 100,000, they all had the confidence to fight with it!
The three ghost elders looked at Baal, who nodded slightly.
"Okay, then we'll activate the totem!" the ghost elders nodded.
"But how do you activate it?" a ghost elder suddenly asked.
"What about this activation...... "Another ghost squeaked, and couldn't say why.
"You know what?" they both looked at the third ghost elder at the same time.
"Know, a little bit......" The third ghost elder hesitated for a moment, and then said.
The Witch Ghost Clan, for hundreds of years or more, has not summoned a totem, and this method of activating the totem has long been remembered by many people.
The corners of Kubatu's mouth twitched, and Barr also covered his face, forgetting the method of activating the totem?
"Wait, I remember! Seems there's a way here!" a ghost old man leaned against the wall as if he remembered something, glanced behind the totem, and sure enough, he saw a roll of parchment.
The ghost veteran took out the parchment, and what was written on it was exactly how to activate the totem!
"Without further ado, hurry!" Kubatu breathed a sigh of relief.
The ghost elders nodded and began to wake up the totem according to the recorded method!
Soon after, the black skeletal bird on the totem seemed to come to life.
Faintly, Baal and Kubatu heard a loud birdsong, as if they had traveled through the ages, and they had returned to the present.
Swish!
The black skeletal bird suddenly flapped its wings, flew out of the totem, circled over everyone's heads, and then broke through the tent and flew into the air.
Phew!
The black skeleton bird let out a long cry, and its body was infinitely enlarged, covering the entire sky, and many people were still wondering why the sky suddenly became dark.
"That's ......" Liu Chu frowned, looking at the black skeletal giant bird in the air, and had a bad feeling.
"Patronus, help us repel the invading enemy!" said Barr, kneeling on the ground, praying reverently.
"Patronus, please help us repel the enemy!" Kubatu and the three ghost elders did the same, kneeling on the ground and raising their hands in prayer.
The black skeletal giant bird looked down, and then looked at the Liu family army in the distance.
After circling for a week, the black skeletal giant bird flew towards the Liu family's army.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Liu Chu raised his right hand and asked the soldiers to prepare.
However, the black skeletal giant bird only hovered above Liu Jiajun's head for a week before flying back again, which made Liu Chu a little confused.
This scene also made Kubatu and the others a little stunned, why didn't their totem patron saint attack the Liu family's army?
The figure of the black skeletal giant bird suddenly collapsed, and immediately after, a black rain fell from the sky, enveloping the entire territory of the witch clan.
The witch people looked up suspiciously, and they opened their hands to catch the black raindrops, trying to see clearly.
"Huh?" a witch ghost clan rubbed his eyes, why did the black raindrops that fell on the palm of his hand disappear just now?
"Hey, it's gone!" the other Witch Clansman was also shocked.
Around, many witch and ghost clansmen also wondered, and after those black raindrops fell on them, they disappeared in an instant.
Barr, Kubatu and others also noticed this, and the black raindrops disappeared after falling on them.
Immediately afterward, Kubatu sensed something strange in his body.
It was as if some berserk factor was awakening in his body! He felt an abundant energy pouring into his limbs!
This feeling makes him very happy!
Barr next to him was also comfortably groaning, exhaling a mouthful of gray-white turbidity.
The three ghosts on the other side had horror and joy in their eyes.
The three of them are old, and there are more or less minor problems in their bodies, but under the baptism of this black rain, all the minor illnesses in their bodies have disappeared!
Now, they feel like they're teens younger!
"It's amazing! It turns out that activating the totem has such a wonderful use!" said an old ghost in surprise.
"Hahaha! Now those who have fled from the tribe, if they know, I am afraid that they will regret their deaths!" Kubatu laughed.
"Khan, let's attack!" said Barr.
"Okay! Prepare the army!" Kubatu was filled with a confidence that he had never seen before!
Now, the strength of the Witch Ghost Clan has been improved as a whole, and everyone is full of strength, in this case, if they can't beat the Wei army, they can go and eat!
Soon, the nearly 30,000 army of the Witch Ghost Clan was reorganized, and Kubatu put on his armor and went into battle in person.
Barr hesitated, and followed behind the army.
"Prepare for war!" Liu Chu saw the 30,000 army coming out of the territory of the Witch Ghost Clan, and he also ordered everyone in the Liu family army to get ready.
3,000 archers lined up in front, 1,000 shield soldiers at the front, and the army was ready to fight!
Kubatu looked at the willow-shaped banner fluttering in the wind, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill!"
The army of 30,000 witch ghost clans screamed and rushed towards the Liu family's army.
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
One hundred steps!
"Put!"
With Liu Chu's order, three thousand arrows fired in a volley, densely covering the entire sky, like pouring heavy rain.
In the face of these feathered arrows, none of the warriors of the witch clan retreated, and they were not afraid of death at all.
Woohoo......
The sound of breaking the air sounded in their ears, accompanied by the screams of their companions when they were hit by arrows.
However, this could not shake their determination to rush forward!
The second round of arrows arrived, and more Witch Clan warriors fell.
However, the army of the Witch Ghost Clan is less than fifty steps away from the Liu Family Army!
Liu Chu took a deep breath and led the soldiers to charge, at this distance, the effect of the bow and arrow was not great.
The armies of the two sides fought together in an instant.
There are 30,000 people in the Witch Ghost Clan, and there are only 10,000 on Liu Chu's side.
However, the cooperation of the Liu family's army is enough to be ten with one!
After a stick of incense, Liu Jiajun did not fall behind, but had the momentum to win!
"Please give us strength, Patronus!" shouted Kubatu.
Faintly, the phantom of a black skeleton bird appeared in the air, and a black rain fell again in the sky.
The raindrops that fell on the warriors of the Witch Clan lifted their hearts and their eyes turned blood-red.
And the black raindrops fell on the Liu family army, and the Liu family soldiers felt a burst of malaise.
"Formation!" Liu Chu frowned slightly, if this continues, they are likely to lose!
In the current situation, I am afraid that only by gathering the strength of the army can it be possible to turn defeat into victory!
