"How is it possible... to win over the Britons... to win over that Su Cheng... how is it possible... impossible..."
When Luge let out this groan full of grievance, pain, and unwillingness, his father, Nalu, the head of the Helai tribe, was in the room.
"The Hot tribe and the others are not participating in the war?!" Nalu's roar filled the whole house.
"Yes." Standing opposite him, the young warrior named Yama nodded solemnly, "I have visited every tribe, and all 27 tribes headed by the Hot tribe chose to surrender and refused to do so.
Resist the Britons."
"The Lago, Chiko, and Maho tribes did not express their stance. They neither expressed that they would fight to the end nor that they would surrender."
"So far, only the Koran tribe has made it clear that it wants to join hands with our Helay tribe to fight against the invasion of the Britannias..."
"Damn it..." Na Lu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a groan full of unwillingness and anger, "These cowards... did they choose to surrender before even firing an arrow?! Do they still have the backbone?
?!"
"...Clan Chief." Yama said in a deep voice, "The Clan Chief of the Hot Tribe wants me to bring you a message..."
"What words?"
"He said... he hopes you will also surrender and not make unnecessary sacrifices... For the continuation of the race, you should surrender obediently to the Britannia..."
…
…
2 hours ago.
Brashan, Hot tribe.
"No, I don't agree."
"Don't agree?" Yama looked at Taka, the leader of the Hot tribe sitting in front of him, with a surprised look on his face.
"Chief Taka, are you going to succumb to the power of the Brittanians just like that?!" Yama shouted excitedly.
"Yes, I intend to succumb obediently to the British power."
Chief Taka nodded calmly and admitted it very frankly.
"What's the use of us fighting? If we fight against the Britannia, there is only a dead end. Even if all 32 tribes of the Lake people unite, there is no way we can be the opponent of the Britannia."
"Even if we all fight, we still can't stop the Britannias from occupying Mount Bra."
"I will not let the young men from my Hort tribe accompany you madmen from the Herai tribe to die in vain. You can go back."
The relationship between the Hort tribe and the Hellai tribe has always been friendly. The relationship between the two tribes is as close as one family, and the two tribes often intermarry with each other.
After receiving the declaration of war from the Britannias, Nalu, the leader of the Helay tribe, decided to fight to the end.
They sent their tribe's most eloquent warrior, Yama, to go to each tribe to persuade each tribe to temporarily put aside their hatred of each other. 32 tribes formed an alliance to jointly fight against the invasion of the Britannia.
As a result, when Yama set out to lobby various tribes, he found that almost no tribe responded to the call of their Helai tribe.
Except for the Koran tribe, which made it clear that it would temporarily put aside its hatred with the Hellai tribe and form an alliance with the Hellai tribe to fight against the Britannia, the other tribes were either hesitant to express their stance or made it clear.
They want to surrender, and they will not join the Hellas in resisting the Britannias.
When Yama first came to the Hote Department, he originally had great expectations for the Hote Department.
After all, the relationship between the Hort tribe and their Helai tribe has always been friendly, and I think that the Hort tribe should stand with their Helai tribe at this critical moment of life and death.
As a result, the answer of Taka, the leader of the Hort tribe, made Yama feel desperate.
Yama slowly clenched his fists.
Strong unwillingness surged into his heart.
Yama stared at the black dots at the corners of Taka's eyes.
"Chief Taka..." Yama said in a deep voice, "You are also a warrior with a totem tattooed on your face... Although you are 55 years old this year, you were also a brave man who was not inferior to our Nalu chief when you were young. You dared to
Warriors who fight tigers with bare hands, where has your bravery gone?"
Yama condensed all the resentment in his heart into this sentence.
After listening to Yamata's provocative words, Taka did not show anger.
Instead, he smiled calmly.
There is still a bit of bitterness in this plain smile.
"Young man, you don't know how powerful the Britons are. But I do."
"Su Cheng, the leader of the Michael Knights, had previously invited the chiefs of our 32 tribes to the Avalon Fortress on the grounds of 'promoting friendship between the two tribes'."
"In this banquet, we saw the strength of the Britannia people."
"The Britannias have a population of more than 80 million and more than 1 million warriors. Each of their warriors has complete iron equipment, as well as magical weapons such as siege crossbows and trebuchets."
"Even if all of us Lake people were to join the army, including the old, weak, women and children, our total military strength would be only a fraction of that of the Britannia people."
"There is absolutely no point in fighting this kind of war that has no chance of winning, so I will not let my Hort Department participate in the war."
As soon as Taka finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the house:
"Clan leader!"
Later, several young soldiers from the Hort tribe who also had totems tattooed on their faces broke into Taka's house.
The loud shout just now was made by these young soldiers.
"What are you doing in here?" Taka frowned and looked at the young soldiers who suddenly broke into his house, "Get out!"
"Chief!" The leader of these warriors looked distressed, "Let us join the war! We are not afraid of the Britannia!"
"Nonsense!" Taka angrily rebuked them, "Do you know how powerful the Britannias are?! What's the point of not being afraid? Can you beat the Britannians without being afraid?!"
"Chief! Even if we can't win, we will fight! How can we surrender to the Britannia without firing an arrow or drawing a sword?!"
"That's right! We will fight even if we can't win! Even if we must lose this battle, we will still fight! Let the Britannia people see the backbone of our Lake people! Let the Britannia people know that we are not easy to mess with!
"
"Chief! If you surrender like this, the tribes who choose to join the war will look down on you! They will think you are a coward!"
"It doesn't matter if you look down on me!" Taka shouted angrily at the young soldiers who suddenly burst into his house and asked them to join the battle. "It doesn't matter if they call me a coward! I would rather be scolded on my spine."
Cowards, I don’t want to let your young lives go in vain! Soldiers of the Hellai tribe! Please come back!"
The second half of Chief Taka's words was addressed to Yama.
Yama already knew that Chief Taka's position was very firm and he could not be moved at all.
After standing up angrily, Yama walked out of the house.
When Yama just stood up, Taka spoke to Yama again:
"Young man, help me tell your leader Nalu to surrender. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. For the sake of the continuation of the race, surrender to the Britannia people. Although surrender is humiliating,
But at least you can still be alive."
Yama ignored Taka's words.
Walking straight and striding outside the house.
It seemed like he didn't want to stay in this room for even a second.
Accompanying Yama out of the house were the young warriors who had just broken into Taka's house.
When leaving Taka's house, one of these young warriors said fiercely in a tone full of disdain: "Huh, I really can't stand this old guy who has no spine and ambition. Let him be like this."
It is really a misfortune for our Hort tribe that a coward becomes our clan leader. Is he so afraid of death? Is he still a warrior of our Lake people? Damn coward."
…
The young man didn't know that even though he had lowered his voice, he was still heard by Taka, who had keen senses.
After hearing the young man's scolding and insults, a look of loneliness appeared on Taka's face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The originally straight back seemed to have lost all its bones in an instant, and became limp.
In addition to the look of loneliness on his face, there was also a look of exhaustion.
Just now, he was still a majestic and heroic old man.
But now, when he was alone in the house, he looked like an ordinary old man.
Like a helpless old man.
