【38】Must buy horses(1/2)
This is a battle with extremely wide disparity in strength.
The battle between iron tools and stone tools is like a duel between adults and children. When the latter intends to teach the other a lesson with the stone ax in his hand, the steel knife in the former's hand has already cut off the hand holding the stone axe.
The precious dagger made of red copper was unable to pierce the enemy's body. It only left an inconspicuous dent on their unknown chest armor and failed to pierce it.
Instead, the enemy's blade pierced their throats.
All the strength in his body was quickly lost along with the wound that spurted blood, and then he collapsed.
This is no longer a battle, it is turning into a massacre.
The leader of the Red Deer clan collided with an opponent with a copper knife. The once invincible weapon was suddenly broken. But before the death butcher knife fell, the fighting consciousness in his bones prompted him to kick the opponent to the ground and then retreat in fear.
I walked several steps away from danger.
However, the tribesmen on the side were not so lucky.
One by one, they fell into a pool of blood. The fighting spirit on their faces a moment ago turned into extreme terror and ferocity. They began to cry. It was the will to survive that made them cry out for mercy, a cry belonging to the weak.
In contrast, the three hundred warriors of Tushi were like soldiers descended from heaven, covered in blood, and became braver as they fought. They were killing like crazy!!!
"Surrender, we surrender!"
"Please, mighty warrior, forgive our disrespect!"
Behind the scenes, the elders of the tribe led everyone to kneel down, choosing to surrender in front of the powerful enemy.
The leader of the Red Deer clan looked back with cracked eyes. He was angry and unwilling. The unprecedented humiliation made him extremely angry. The timidity he had towards the enemy a moment ago was instantly wiped away——
"The brave Red Deer warrior will never bow his head!!"
He rushed forward again, losing his mind.
Two sharp spears had been prepared for him.
The body smeared with bear fat, like copper skin and iron bones, was easily pierced.
The spear shaft passed through his back, causing him to let out a shrill roar. However, despite the severe pain caused by the spear stirring in his body, he came to the two enemies and inserted the broken copper knife into one of them.
Throat.
"Hahahaha." He let out a satisfied laugh, and was eventually beheaded by another person.
At the last moment of consciousness, the tribesmen fell to their knees, begging for forgiveness.
The only thing left standing on the battlefield is the enemy.
Shanshan looked around with a grim expression. More than a dozen of his soldiers fell under the feathers of arrows, and several had their heads smashed.
Compared to the tragic deaths of dozens of opponents, it was still an overwhelming victory.
He picked up the head of the Red Deer clan leader and held it high——
"Those who blaspheme the holy will of our Lord will have their bodies separated and will be rejected by the door of the afterlife! Eternal destruction!"
"Those who surrender, under balance, are all my Lord's subjects!"
The warriors' fanatical roars destroyed the last resistance of the Red Deer tribe.
"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!"
They controlled the prisoners, surrendered their weapons, and were guarded by a dozen people with steel knives and spears. They entered the tribe and did not carry out a mopping up of the victors.
The elders of the Red Deer tribe looked at this scene with astonishment and confusion.
Until he climbed the mountain and came to them, he smiled and said: "We are never enemies, but we bring the kindness and glory of the gods to you and others."
Then, his expression suddenly became solemn and pious:
"The true god who created the natural god realm has arrived. He is the leader of the gods, the controller of all living things in the world, and the master of balance in charge of all rules and laws."
"Under balance, everyone is a citizen."
"Are you willing to surrender? Follow the footsteps of the true God and conquer the earth for my lord?"
The elders looked at each other. They thought they would become prisoners and slaves of the victor, but the other party actually only wanted to accept their submission.
The clan leader was dead, and his broken body caused his soul to collapse. The elders could only look at the shaman of the tribe, but the shaman stared at the armor and weapons of the Tushi warrior, and pondered...
Don’t be in a hurry when climbing the mountain, just wait silently.
Soon after, the witch withdrew his gaze, and his old and profound eyes fell on the face of the mountain climber: "Are there really gods in the world?"
"have!"
"The true God has arrived?"
"I am in my tribe, waiting for your worship and service."
"What do we have to pay?"
"With piety and sincerity, accompany me, the Stone Warrior, to spread the light for my Lord, and lead more Modoc people to become the people of my Lord."
The witch's eyes trembled, and he could clearly see the piety and fanaticism on the expressions of the others when the warrior leader mentioned the True God.
Gods are not to be offended, and no one dares to tarnish the name of the gods.
He didn't have much patience when climbing the mountain. He swung the hunting knife in his hand and shook off the blood on the blade: "These magical weapons are my lord's reward for every warrior. I know what you are thinking..."
"Gods are invisible to humans!"
"Tushi Department has had this idea before!"
Having said this, he turned to look at the warriors of the Tushi Department: "Tell them what you have done!"
The warrior looked embarrassed, but he still said: "The Tushi Department once caused divine punishment, and our Lord came for the true God, but we were ignorant and offended the divine power!"
"The mountain-climbing leader was originally a warrior of a small tribe, but he was captured by us."
"When our Lord came, our Tushi tribe knew the grace of God and received the oracle. Our Lord forgave our sins! He also gave me Tushi grace..."
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
When he told about the past, the other warriors were also moved.
Someone stood up and said: "I was once a member of the Shanhua Tribe, and I saw the true God. It was my Lord who released us humble people from the prison of the Tushi Clan, gave me a place to live, returned my wife and children, and gave me divine weapons!"
Another person said: "I, the Earth Snake tribe, were once ignorant. When the tribe leader met the true God, he actually offended the divine power and uttered the blasphemous words 'God is invisible'! And my Lord sent down divine punishment and annihilated the blasphemer from the world. This is
Countless people witnessed it with their own eyes!”
Someone took out the skin bag, grabbed a handful of pure white sand, and swayed it toward the kneeling crowd——
"O ignorant people, taste the God-given salt given by our Lord. Have you ever seen such pure white salt, and have you ever thrown it around like I do?"
"The salt I have eaten now is longer than the streams you humble people have flowed through, and more mountains than you have climbed!!"
Someone caught the spilled salt, licked their palms, and exclaimed: "It's really salt, not bitter!"
The people of the Red Deer tribe were completely shocked. They looked for salt grains on the ground and tried them one after another.
"It's salt."
"I have never seen such white salt."
"Yes, there is no bitterness, not at all!"
Gradually, people began to commotion and their hearts were shaken.
And after a young warrior stepped out, the scene was completely boiling——
"Grandpa, it's me."
He came to an elder of the Red Deer tribe, knelt down on one knee, took the elder's old hand, and stroked it gently.
The elder looked at him in astonishment and exclaimed: "Are you a 'forgetful ear'?"
Others may not recognize this person, but when they hear this title, many old people can't help but feel moved.
Because this child had lived in the Red Deer Tribe when he was young, and her mother gave birth to him within the tribe, and his father was a warrior from the Chishui Tribe and had come to the Red Deer Tribe to seek marriage.
"Forgetful Ear" nodded with a smile and said: "Grandpa, the Chishui Tribe was also conquered and enslaved by the Tushi Tribe. It was my Lord who rescued me."
"My father was killed in the war, but my mother is still alive. She is tanning cowhide for my lord in Tushi Valley, and she has received my lord's approval."
"My child is now at the knees of my lord and the shaman, listening to instructions and learning the words of the gods!"
"Grandpa, please persuade everyone to surrender. Our Lord is tolerant and merciful. He has also given us salt and weapons to make our lives abundant."
"When mother came, she told me that she must persuade you to go and worship the true God!"
The elder trembled unconsciously and asked: "'Forgetful Ear', then why didn't you come to convince us in person, but instead killed your former brothers and friends?"
The young warrior looked firm: "How can the Red Deer tribe be convinced if they haven't seen our bravery? Even I never believed that the true god would come before I saw my Lord."
"Grandpa, believe in the Lord of Balance! Balance exists among all things, and the glory of our Lord will shine on the earth!"
At this moment.
The people of the Red Deer Tribe did not dare to say they believed it completely, but they were also greatly shaken.
What's more important is that they have no second choice.
Soon, they began to pack their bags, dismantle their tents, pack all the supplies, and hand them over to the disarmed tribal warriors to carry on their backs.
To be continued...
