Chapter 244: Whipping
The next morning, before the cold of the night on the grassland had dissipated, and the dew was still hanging on the tips of the grass, the fierce neighing of horses, the angry shouts of the warriors, and the cries of the herdsmen and slaves as they were whipped could be heard in the Gegen tribe.

A large group of people who were about to be paid tribute to the Eagle Master gathered in the open space in front of the big camp.
There were a hundred young men and a hundred young women.
Of the two hundred, some were slaves and most were ordinary herdsmen. The Gegan tribe did not initiate any wars, so they did not capture many captives, and most of the slaves in the tribe were bought. And this time, the eagle master asked for too many people, and the number of slaves was insufficient, so the vacancy could only be filled by ordinary herdsmen.
These young people who are about to be sacrificed represent the future of Gegen, but now they are all going to be taken to the land of destruction in the Gobi Desert.
Soar cowered in the middle of a group of slave girls, her eyes anxiously looking towards the human slit, she was searching for Yan Long's figure.
She originally thought that Yan Long would use the power of a divine soldier to save her, but she waited for a long time, but she still didn't see Yan Long.
The sun is up!
The two hundred men who were about to be paid tribute stood for nearly an hour in the cold wind of the early morning. Many of them were already disillusioned, as if they were out of their bodies, their expressions were hollow, their manners were blank, their actions were like walking corpses, some slave girls hugged each other and wept, and some of the timid were crying.
After looking for a long time, Suoya still didn't see Yan Long's figure, and she was completely disappointed.
She sat down on the grass, tears falling in large drops.
Slowly, the tears could not flow, she sighed softly, and muttered, "Maybe he has already left, right? Maybe something happened to him, and he can't rush over, right? Maybe ......? I wonder if he will think of me in the future?"
In the midst of the group of male slaves, Soya suddenly spotted a white figure.
Herdsmen and slaves did not like to wear white robes because they were not tolerant of dirt. In the entire Gegen tribe, Soya knew that there was only one person who liked to wear white robes.
There was a look of ecstasy in her eyes, she used her hand to push away the people who were blocking her, and then through the gap between the crowd, she saw Yan Long standing in the crowd of men in a very low-key manner!
The moment Sawa saw Yan Long, Yan Long also saw her.
Yan Long smiled and put his finger to his lips, motioning for Soya to keep quiet.
Soya bit her lip with tears in her eyes and nodded desperately.
"He didn't lie to me, he said he would solve everything, and he would. Sawy's heart was full of thoughts.
Finally, the people of the Eagle Division showed up.
One hundred of them, fully armed, walked from their camp to the gate of the big village in Gegen.
The leader of Saqiwu did not cover his face with a black scarf, and the vertical and horizontal scars on his face were set off by his cold expression, like a powerful ghost walking in the day.
The remaining ninety-nine black-clad and black-armored Eagle Master warriors stood in their respective guard positions, looking vigilantly at the tribal herdsmen who were gradually surrounding to watch the ritual of paying tribute.
There were more and more herdsmen, and almost the entire open space in front of the camp gate was enclosed.
Not long after Saqiwu arrived, a group of people also walked out of the village, led by the leader of the Gegen tribe who was elected last night.
Kuang's eyes were red, his face was tired, and his expression was haggard, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night last night.
Last night was indeed very busy, in addition to drawing up the list of tribute servants, he was also busy with the transfer of power, negotiating with the Eagle Master, and balancing the interests of various nobles and elders, which made Kuang Kuo, who had always neglected to deal with tribal affairs, really busy for a while.
However, everything will pass, and the sun will come out. Kuokuo has always believed in this sentence, which is why he has been holding back to this day.
Late last night, he had people go to the tribal camps to announce the decision of the Council of Elders.
Terra has been deposed, and now it's time for me to make a big show of life!
Well, now it's finally the climax of this hilarious drama.
Kuokuo walked in front of the crowd and read aloud his "governing program" after taking office, the most important of which was to declare that the Gegen Division would form a life-and-death alliance with the Eagle Division, and that the Gegen Division would be under the protection of the Eagle Division in the future and would not be attacked by any external forces.
Kuokuo's remarks made the faces of the Gegen tribesmen show extremely disgusted expressions, because everyone knew that none of the slaves and herdsmen who paid tribute to the Eagle Master this time came from the Kuokuo family, and the other five elders who supported the removal of the position of the Patriarch of Tra were only a very small number of slaves.
After they have gained authority, they are generous to others and seek their own interests.
This kind of cunning villain behavior is hated by the people of the grassland.
The audience was silent, and no one applauded the broad statement.
Kuang Kuo looked embarrassed, and then he shouted impatiently, "Now I announce that the tribute ceremony has begun!"
Then, he offered his whip to Saqiu.
Offering the whip is the same as offering authority.
With a horsewhip in his hand, Saqiu walked up to a group of slaves and herdsmen who were about to be sacrificed, and began to preach loudly about the rules of the Eagle Master.
"From this day forward, you are the servants of our Eagle Master, and you are about to be honored to the great desert god, Lord Red Eagle, and your devotion will bring peace and tranquility to your family. ”
"On the way to the Gobi Desert, no one should talk privately, do not collude to try to escape, and do not think about resisting. For it will kill you and your people. "Saqiwudao.
The words are short, but murderous.
Next, it's time for the whipping.
The so-called whipping was invented by the Eagle Master. That is, a specific whip is used to whip each slave on the back as a warning and at the same time to put a brand.
This whip is different from a horse whip, but is made of barbed thorns, and when drawn, it tears off a piece of flesh. After the whipping, the slave officially broke away from the original tribe and became the Eagle Master.
And this special scar on the back will also become the symbol of the Eagle Master's slave, and it will remain on the body until death.
The canting begins.
As the screams rang out, the onlookers of the Gegen tribe became more and more silent, and the anger between their eyebrows became stronger and stronger.
The first thing to do with the whip is the man.
Therefore, Yan Long, who was standing in the line with the other slaves, was still ten times short of his turn.
A sneer tugged at the corner of Yan Long's mouth, and the murderous aura in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
By the early morning of this morning, his strength had fully recovered. He's waiting for a finale.
Before this big drama, he could only wait quietly.
As long as the Eagle Master holds this group of slaves and goes out of the realm of Gegen, he can do it.
Tra, Burigud and Suhe have already taken people and ambushed at the sniper site, preparing to secretly destroy the 100 people of the Eagle Division!
