The first mate spoke loudly in Aboriginal language: "We come from outside your world and are not your food."
"If you want to start a fight with us, I think you will be the ones who get eaten!"
The first mate raised his revolver, aimed at the treetops, and shot through.
The indigenous people looked at the coconuts on the treetops and exploded instantly.
They immediately made a mess. For them, the coconut shell is indestructible and is harder than their heads.
After they got the coconuts, it took a lot of effort to open them.
But these people can do it easily with the tools in their hands.
The indigenous people had a chaotic discussion.
Finally someone invited the chief.
The chief looked at Liu Zheng and the others, spreading his arms and leaning forward slightly.
The first mate said from the side: "This should be a friendly gesture from their tribe."
Liu Zheng nodded incomprehensibly.
The chief said: "Chiliwala, Wuliwala..."
The first mate translated on the side: "The chief said they mean no harm and welcome you strangers who have come from afar."
"They also said that a war has broken out on their island, and people from another tribe are attacking their Swadik tribe to snatch the panacea from them."
"That is something God has given to their tribe, and it must not be taken away by outsiders."
"They hope that we can help them conquer another tribe."
"In return, they will send us home."
Liu Zheng was thoughtful and said: "Ask me how they will send us back."
The first mate translated.
The chief pointed to the supply ship and shouted: "Karala..."
The first mate also looked at the supply ship and translated with Liu Zheng: "He said that you are not the only strangers who come from afar from the sea. They all come on similar 'behemoths of the sea'."
"It's just that they are not as friendly as you. We let them become our wisdom."
Liu Zheng looked down at the musket in his hand and fell into silence.
The first mate asked quietly: "Sir, what should we do now? Can we help them?"
Liu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Tell them that we are not butchers and will not help them fight, but we can help them resolve the fight. Tell them that I need to see the chief of another tribe."
The first mate translated it truthfully.
After hearing this, the chief looked anxious and said anxiously: "Bengka..."
The first mate said: "The tribes they are fighting with are very ferocious. Please believe me."
Liu Zheng said to the first mate: "You lead a group of people to see the chief."
The first mate nodded, and after talking to the chief for a few more words, the chief nodded and asked a young man from their tribe to take the first mate to meet another tribe.
Liu Zheng considered safety and took the remaining Long Yan soldiers back to the supply ship.
When the natives saw the firearm in Liu Zheng's hand, they did not dare to stop them and allowed them to return to the supply ship.
Soon after, the first mate came over with the chief of another tribe.
Behind him followed a large number of people.
They call themselves the Dikaka tribe.
Seeing people who were decorated similar to those of the Swadik tribe coming over, Liu Zheng led a team of Dragon Flame troops off the supply ship.
The first mate said to Liu Zheng: "The chiefs of the Dikaka tribe have been accusing me of the crimes of the Swadik tribe people along the way. They all want to get something called a panacea."
"The fighting between the two tribes has been going on for a long time. Sir, we cannot mediate such a fight."
Liu Zheng shook his head: "I know, first mate, take a look at the muskets in our hands..."
