Chapter 257 Forest Council
"Woo-------"
The melodious and deep horn sound sounded from the center of Bena Island.
"Bang bang...bang bang...bang...bang bang...bang bang...bang..."
Then a majestic and rhythmic drum sound sounded from the center of the island.
The screen comes to the center of Bena Island.
This is a large circular open space with no trees, flowers or grass, just land. Normally, it is used for meetings of the members of the Forest Council.
"Ta da...ta da...ta...ta da...ta da...ta..."
At this time, a group of strong men wearing animal skins, holding spears in their right hands, and huge wooden shields in their left hands were surrounding the bonfire as high as a hill in the middle, accompanied by drums and horns, and began to dance rhythmically
, and all opened their voices, dancing and singing a sacred and grand sacrificial song.

...
The singing sounded in this open space and slowly spread to the entire island.
After hearing the singing, the tribal leaders from all over the island stopped what they were doing and looked towards the center of the island.
"Parliament convened?"
"What's the emergency?"
"Song of the Xixia tribe, what's the emergency?"
"Why did the Xixia tribe gather everyone together?"
"Forget it, let's go take a look first!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
...
After discovering the white smoke caused by the bonfire in the center of the island, although the tribal leaders were a little puzzled, they immediately packed up, picked up their weapons, and headed to the center of the island!
Soon.
"Da da da!"
Accompanied by the footsteps of animals running, a man riding a white deer more than five meters high, carrying a long bow, wearing an animal skin skirt, animal skin clothing, animal skin shoes, and animal skin hat, with wheat-colored skin and a well-proportioned figure.
The oval-faced girl jumped out of the forest with a few strong men who were also riding deer, and led them to this clearing.
The girl looked around with a cold expression. After finding Kakawa and the chief of the Xixia tribe who were sitting in the corner, she rode a deer and walked straight over.
"Chief Kakat, Kakawa, what is the purpose of your Xixia tribe calling everyone here?" The girl, riding a deer, looked down at the two of them and asked coldly.
Faced with the girl's not so good tone, Kakat and Kakawa didn't pay attention. More than ten tribes on this island have conflicts to some extent, and the relationship between them is very poor, so this tone
Very normal.
"Chief Deanie, there must be a reason why we called everyone here, but they haven't all arrived yet, so I hope you can wait until everyone does, and we'll talk again!" Karkat said in a deep voice.
"Okay!" Deanie nodded expressionlessly, then rode the deer and led her men to a corner and waited.
Come over for a while.
Along with the sound, people from different tribes emerged from the forest one after another. The first thing they did when they came was to ask Kakat about something, but Kakat asked them to wait for the same reason.
stand up.
Soon, people from all the tribes came, and the original open space was already full of people. However, these people were clearly distinguishable, and there were gaps between each tribe. It was easy to tell at a glance that they belonged to different tribes.
Tribal!
"Chief Karkat, everyone is here now, do you have anything to say?" A pair of big men with arms like apes, muscles bundled up, dark skin, and a height of three meters, said in a deep voice.
After Karkat glanced around, he nodded and said, "Since everyone is here, I will say it!"
Then, he paused, took a deep breath, showed a heavy expression, and continued, "Everyone, we are now facing a catastrophe that affects the life and death of all tribes on the island!"
Hearing this, all the tribesmen present fell silent, with solemn expressions on their faces.
They all knew that Karkat was usually a calm and steady person and would not make such a joke with them. Therefore, since he mentioned a catastrophe about the life and death of all the tribes on the island, it must be a catastrophe.
"The story starts with a businessman we captured before..." Karkat explained in detail to the people present how they captured the businessman and what they interrogated after they captured him.
"hiss---"
After listening, everyone present took a deep breath!
"Xihai, the Kingdom of Saint Martin is going to attack us?" Dianne couldn't help but ask.
"That's right!" Karkat nodded seriously.
"Why does a kingdom from the West Sea want to attack our place in the South China Sea?" Dianne asked puzzledly, "Does it take at least several months to travel from the West Sea to here? The cost is very high, even if they capture us, the gain outweighs the loss.
Bar?"
"I don't know why the merchant attacked us! But as for the distance, it is said that there is something called an underground train in their kingdom. It only takes five or six days to get to us! And now they are ready, and they are even here." Karkat
explained.
Underground train!?
Five or six days!?
All the chiefs present were stunned!
Although they don’t know what an underground train is, they still know what five or six days is!
It only takes five or six days to travel from the West China Sea to the South China Sea. This speed is simply too terrifying for them to imagine!
After the people present were shocked for a while, one of the chiefs couldn't help but ask, "Are they all here? How many people are there? What equipment? Where are they now?"
"It is said that there are 1,200 people and two giants. The equipment is said to be the St. Martin-1 rifle produced by their kingdom and the cannon produced by their kingdom. As for the location, they are not far from Bena Island now.
That nameless island!" Kakat replied one by one.
Twelve hundred men and two giants!
This couldn't help but make these chiefs show solemn expressions!
They actually don't know much about the combat effectiveness of people outside the island, but they can compare!
They had a previous battle with soldiers hired by merchants. The death ratio that time was 200 merchants, and 300 of them died!
Therefore, they subconsciously compared the last time with this time. Therefore, in their opinion, in proportion, the enemy of 1,200 people would have to die at least 1,800 people to repel them, and not counting the two.
A giant!
Thinking of this, they had a headache!
One thousand eight hundred people!
There are only seven or eight thousand people on the entire island!
This time, it’s at least a quarter or more!
Moreover, this is still not a giant!
They have heard about giants to some extent, although not in detail, but they all feel the fact that... giants are very powerful!
Therefore, according to their own guess, at least five or six hundred people would have to die to solve these two giants!
If you add the two together, at least 2,300 or 400 people will die, that is to say, at least almost one-third of the people will die!
One third of the people!
If you are not careful, smaller tribes with only one or two hundred people will be wiped out!
what to do?
This question couldn't help but arise in the minds of all the chiefs present!
In the end, they turned their attention to Karkat!
Feeling everyone's gaze, Karkat did not give up. He looked at the people present and said solemnly, "Everyone, this time, we must cooperate sincerely to get through this difficulty!"
"And I know that things are so sudden that everyone may not be able to think of a solution for a while, but according to the merchants, they will attack in five days at most, so there is not much time for everyone to think about it, so I have a few ideas here.
I just said it directly and let everyone refer to it and revise it. What do you think?"
"Chief Karkat, tell me!"
"Yes, tell me!"
"Say it quickly!"
...
All the chiefs present urged.
"Okay, then I'll say it!" Karkat paused and said seriously, "I think we should do it like this..."
Chapter completed!
