The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night change, and a few days pass by in a hurry. The beasts in the jungle become crazy in hunger, and are then captured by hungrier hunters and turned into food in their bellies to satisfy their hungry desires.
The night is deep, and bonfires are lit everywhere in the city of Hand Snake, but the wind is full of silence. The warriors of the tribe are hungry, so they can only fall asleep early and try to eat enough in their dreams. And in the center of the small town, there is a Chimali
The chief's big tent also has a shield flag inherited from the clan, fluttering quietly in the night wind.
There were no guards outside the chief's tent tonight. Looking at the tent in the distance, one could see a bright bonfire. The bonfire projected two figures sitting opposite each other on the tent. The two people sitting opposite each other looked at each other in silence, and there was a deathly silence between them.
.Listen carefully, there is only the sound of the night wind pouring in from the ceiling, the crackle of the bonfire, and the inaudible sound of running water.
After a long time, a figure finally slowly knelt on the ground. Elder Malina had tears in his eyes and burst into tears.
"Brother, the tribe is in dire straits and has to make a choice!...The northern kingdom is extremely powerful, with tens of thousands of elite warriors, and they come with the determination to conquer. It is a force that the Tekos people cannot resist. Under the powerful
In front of the kingdom, the Colima tribes in the west can only defend themselves. But they are also greedy and want to eat our wild beasts!..."
At this point, Elder Malina became excited. He stood up suddenly and roared in a low voice.
"Brother, the tribe lacks food. The soldiers feed on the tribesmen and have long since lost their morale. The red-haired barbarian is watching dozens of miles away, waiting for the day when the tribe falls. For the continuation of the tribe, for the inherited flag
, we can only make a choice and surrender to the northern kingdom!... No matter how harsh their conditions are and how greedy their tribute is... As long as we are still allowed to live in the fertile basin and allow tribal autonomy, these conditions will
It's all acceptable, and all the sacrifices will be worth it!..."
Elder Malina was very emotional and spoke for a long time. Chief Chimali remained silent and silent. He just opened his eyes in silence and stared at his brother in front of him for a moment.
After a while, Elder Malina finished venting. He sighed, took two steps forward, hugged Chief Chimali forcefully, and then gently stretched out his hand to close his brother's wide eyes.
"Brother, please don't look at me like this! I had to do it as a last resort! I'm just here to help you get out of a desperate situation for the sake of the tribe. When the Hand Snake City was burned down, your fate was already determined...
For the continuation of the tribe, my ancestors will forgive me, my father will forgive me, and you will forgive me, right?..."
Elder Malina's voice gradually became lower, and then became inaudible. Then, he let go of his embrace, took a step back, and quietly stared at his brother who had closed his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly reached out his hand, pulled it out and inserted it into the other's heart.
dagger!
The inaudible sound of running water suddenly became louder, like a flowing stream. Chief Chimali's body finally lost its balance and fell sideways to the ground. A small pool of blood had accumulated under him.
And all his vitality has long since flowed into the deep earth.
"Brother, I will take over as the chief of the Shield Tribe and surrender to the northern kingdom. The wolves in the jungle cannot live without a leader. When the old wolf king dies, a new wolf king will be born!"
Elder Malina shed tears and smiled at the corner of his mouth. There was both sadness from the heart and unconcealable joy on his face.
"Brother, you can go with peace of mind. Your head will go to the north to see for me what the northern kingdom looks like, and also for me to see the king of the north. And I will inherit your legacy, hold back my savings, and wait.
The tribe is prospering again and waiting for new opportunities..."
Malina whispered to herself, waiting patiently in the tent, no longer looking at her dead brother.
At this point, there was only one figure left on the curtain of the big tent. But at some point, there were dozens of tribal warriors guarding outside the big tent. Silence returned to the vicinity again, and even the sound of bleeding gradually stopped.
It was not until a few quarters of an hour later that several personal guards rushed outside the chief's tent with blood-stained short spears in their hands.
"Elder, we are back."
"How about it?"
"all the best."
"Okay! Come in and talk."
The leader of the personal guard carried a short spear, opened the tent, and walked into the tent. He glanced at the body of the dead chief and lowered his head slightly, but there was no trace of sadness on his face.
The tribe is the jungle. The wolf king who cannot obtain prey or even loses his lair will lose all his majesty. And the wolf king who loses his majesty is destined to be devoured by the wolves in the jungle!
"Elder, according to your order, the War Elder has died and everyone present has been silenced. Hundreds of War Guards have not noticed the change and are still guarding the west of the city."
"okay."
Malina nodded slightly, and sadness appeared on his face again. The War Elder was his younger brother. He was very loyal to his brother and was in charge of hundreds of elite war guards. After the death of the chief, the War Elder was his biggest threat. Various
threats.
"From now on, call me chief."
Malina was silent for a moment and sighed. Then, the emotions of sadness and joy disappeared from his face, leaving only deep indifference.
“Where is Hunting Elder Toppan?
"Chief and Elder Toppan are also in action in the city. Before I came, I saw the flames of the people's camp in the south of the city flashing, and there were shouts of killing."
After hearing this, Malina stood up and listened. There were faint shouts of killing coming from the south.
There are about four thousand tribal warriors inside and outside Hand Snake City, and they actually belong to different tribal elders and leaders. The chief and war elder control the elites of 1,600 tribes, and the hunting elder has four to five hundred tribal hunters, but he only has in his hands
There are more than a hundred ordinary warriors. As for the remaining one or two thousand people, they are scattered in the hands of ordinary elders and leaders, and they live in the safest south of the city.
"Send a few people and summon the chief's guard in the north of the city! Ask them to abandon the defense in the north of the city and come to the chief's tent as soon as possible to guard it. Then send an envoy... No, go and ask Elder Toppan to come over in person!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, I will go to the south of the city myself right now!"
The guard leader nodded and was about to leave the tent immediately.
"Wait a moment."
Malina thought for a while and whispered.
"If Toppan doesn't come, just say that the chief escaped with serious injuries and is missing. Ask him to come over quickly to discuss!"
The guard leader was startled and looked at Malina.
"Chief? We want..."
Malina nodded, with murderous intent on his face.
"Tell the chief guards that Elder Toppan killed the chief and the war elder. I lost my elder brother and younger brother... I will cut off Toppan's head to avenge my noble relatives!"
"I see!"
The guard leader understood clearly and bowed his head in salute. The chief still wanted to lead the tribe, so one person needed to bear the responsibility for tonight's crime. Elder Toppan was the most suitable candidate and also a new threat.
"go quickly!"
"As you command!"
The leader of the personal guard opened the tent and arranged for several envoys to go to the north of the city, while he himself went to the south of the city. Malina sat cross-legged in the tent and waited again. He suppressed the inexplicable excitement and mania.
, looked at the dead Chief Chimali and murmured.
"Brother, your soul must not have flown far yet. I am your biological brother. Between Toppan and me, you must protect me!..."
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Not long after, Malina's ears suddenly heard the whistling of bone arrows. Then, a familiar howl sounded, which was the voice of the guards outside.
"what happened!"
Malina's color suddenly changed. He quickly put on the chief's leather armor and picked up a sharp copper spear. These leather armors and copper spears were supported by the Palm family's previous trade.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Another fierce rain of arrows came, and several of them were shot into the tent! Then there were hundreds of people shouting fiercely, shaking the entire city of Hand Snakes.
"Malina assassinates the chief! Elder Toppan leads people to quell the rebellion!"
"Malina assassinates the chief! Elder Toppan leads people to quell the chaos!!"
Hearing the shouts, Malina's face turned pale. He strode out of the tent and saw dozens of guards lying dead on the ground. The remaining ten or twenty people were guarding the tent, fighting with hundreds of tribesmen.
The hunters were fighting. The burly Elder Toppan held a bow and arrow in his hand, with a head still dripping blood tied to his waist. Malina opened his eyes wide and took a closer look at his face, but it turned out to be the bodyguard who had left not long ago.
leader.
"Toppan?!...You, you despicable old wolf!..."
"Whoosh!"
A sharp bone arrow that had been waiting for a long time struck accurately, hitting the vital part of Malina's throat. Then, the bone arrow stagnated slightly, then with a "pop" sound, it penetrated completely!
"Ho ho..."
Malina stretched out a hand with difficulty and pointed at the familiar person. He roared "ho ho", but could not say any words.
"Whoosh!"
A few breaths later, another bone arrow struck, hitting Malina's eye. The obsidian arrow pierced the eyeball and penetrated into the skull!
"ah!"
Malina finally spoke, tearing his throat and letting out a high-pitched scream. Then, he shook, then fell to the ground with a "bang", his head tilted, motionless. But his intact eye
, still opening his eyes unwillingly.
The brutal fighting in front of the big tent only lasted for a moment and then came to an abrupt end. Elder Toppan slowly put away the bow and arrows in his hands, with a victor's smile on his face. He walked to Malina unhurriedly.
, slowly squatted down, smiled and whispered.
"Dear Elder Malina, thank you! Thank you for killing the chief and the war elder for the sake of the tribe. And I killed you to avenge them, and I should become the next chief..."
"...From now on, I will become a hereditary noble of the kingdom and be entrusted in the Hand Snake Basin! I will lead the tribes in the Coalcoman Mountains to be loyal to the more respected king, guard the borders for him, gather the southern tribesmen, and become
The new wolf king in the forest...I will remain loyal until the tribe is strong enough, or the kingdom becomes weak! Haha!”
Toppan laughed and stretched out his hand, closing Malina's eyes tenderly.
"And now, please take your head to accompany the chief and show me what the northern kingdom looks like, and also show me the king of the north!"
After saying that, Toppan stood up happily, looked towards the north of the city where the fire was flashing, and gave instructions to the guards on his left and right.
"Send an envoy to stop the chief's guard heading south! Tell them that Malina assassinated the chief and the war elders, conspired to launch a rebellion, and betrayed the tribe. He has been executed by me! And before the chief died, he passed on his position to me. From tonight on,
I am the new chief, and they are my guards! All the leaders in the south of the city can vouch for me. If they don’t believe it, they can also send people to the big tent to check!"
"As you command, Chief!"
"Tell them again that as long as I succeed as chief, the northern kingdom will cease war with the tribe and send food for support!"
"As you command, Chief!"
"Ha ha!"
Toppan laughed heartily when he heard the chief's name. He looked at the bright sky and said with satisfaction,
"After enduring this for a long time, it's finally dawn! Haha!"
The sky was misty and bright, and the sound of marching could be heard in the mountains and forests. The rising sun fell outside Hand Snake City, illuminating the several miles of mountain roads and also illuminating the three thousand Guakili warriors running rapidly on the mountain roads.
Behind the three thousand loose canine legions were more spear militiamen. Each of the militiamen carried shining bronze spears and wore white leggings, and marched towards the Hand Snake City quickly and orderly.
Cocker the Red Frog wore leather armor, carried a long bow on his back, and held a bronze spear, leading the march at the forefront of the dog-born battle group.
Last night, the fires in Hand Snake City lit up all night long, and fierce fighting sounds resounded for miles. Captain Ezpan of the Second Lance Corps immediately issued an order for the Red Frogs to quickly march south, while the Lance Corps followed closely.
Then. According to Captain Ezpan, the negotiations in Hand Snake City achieved a breakthrough, and the Tekos people's insiders have launched a rebellion and surrendered to the kingdom as agreed!
Thinking of this, Red Frog Coca raised his head and looked forward. The gray-black Hand Snake City with traces of burning had appeared in front of the Legion. The low city wall was stained with fresh red, and the newly built gate
Then the hole opened up.
A burly middle-aged noble chief was waiting outside the city gate with hundreds of hunters. He had short hair and blue and green lines on his face, which represented his illustrious military exploits. There were animals carved on his arms.
The tattoos are also stained with unwashed blood.
Seeing the red-haired barbarian running towards him, a smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged noble chief. The situation in the city has not yet been completely calmed down. Hundreds of elite war elders refused to recognize his chieftain status and supported another member of the Chimali family.
A warrior leader. Now, he needs the support of the Northern Kingdom to subdue the tribe without bloodshed!
The gate of Hand Snake City was open, but the city was still in turmoil. Seeing this, Red Frog Coca also smiled. He looked at the middle-aged noble chief and speculated in his mind.
"Is this the winner of the Tekos civil strife? What is his name..."
Red Frog Coca looked at the familiar face of the other party, but could not remember it. After a few breaths, he shook his head needlessly.
"Forget it, none of this is important. As long as the Death Chief can remember it, that's fine!"
Thinking of this, with a smile on his face, he faced the middle-aged noble chief who also smiled, and tightened his grip on the bronze spear in his hand.
The long wind blew through the bustling city of Hand Snake and also through the silent jungle outside the city. The Tekos people were short of food and hunted day and night, eating up all the wild beasts in the jungle.
The old hunter became weak and crazy due to hunger, and became a new beast. Then, as agreed, the new hunter came to the jungle with a smile. He had waited patiently for a long time, and completed the final hunt with a long bow and a bronze spear.
