32 joint
There was no sunshine in the gloomy sky, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
There is no wind in the mountains and forests, and the scorching heat is almost suffocating.
"That pioneer lord is leaving? Is the news reliable?"
In the not-so-spacious wooden house, dozens of savages with solemn expressions gathered.
The smell of sweat and spices mixed together and fermented in this humid and hot environment, eventually becoming a weird smell.
"Of course it's reliable!" the savage sitting in the first place said solemnly.
He is a middle-aged man in his forties, tall, with strong limbs, and a fierce light in his eyes. The most eye-catching thing is his dark blue skin——
This is a characteristic of the blue-skinned tribesmen.
As the largest savage tribe in this mountainous area second only to the Huya Tribe, the Blueskin Tribe also sent people to participate in the Battle of Yingzui Island last time, and also suffered heavy losses.
But obviously, unlike the Huya tribe, the Blue-skin tribe is not willing to surrender.
"How about it? Do you dare to take this opportunity to fight again?" Linya, the leader of the blue-skinned tribe, urged again.
This time he summoned the leaders of thirteen nearby tribes to come and avenge his shame.
Of course, what's more important is that he must recapture those tribesmen captured by the River Bend people, otherwise without these young men, the Blueskin Tribe will surely decline.
However, Linya's call did not receive the enthusiastic response as expected.
Obviously, the last tragic defeat left such a psychological shadow on these tribal leaders that even in the face of such a good opportunity, they did not have the courage to fight again.
"Speak!" Linya couldn't help but raise her voice, "Are you all scared out of your wits by the Riverbend people?"
Finally, someone said: "We are not afraid of the Hewan people, it's just that Yingzui Island is too difficult to attack. If we go any further, we will only waste the lives of more people."
"But have you ever thought about it! If you miss this opportunity, when the River Bend people really build the castle, we will lose control of this mountain forest forever! At that time, we will either surrender, or we will be killed and expelled
!
Of course I know that Yingzui Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but we have no choice!
In order to protect this mountain forest, for the glory of the gods, and for the glory of the savage warriors, we must take action!
Even if you pay the price with blood!"
The more Linya talked, the more excited she became. Finally, she stood up and opened her shirt, revealing her scarred chest.
The members of the blue-skinned tribe all have crazy genes. They may not be the most powerful on the battlefield, but they are definitely the most terrifying.
Their weird blue skin, soaked in blood, looked like devils crawling out of hell.
But now, as the ferocious-faced, almost crazy Lina glanced at him with murderous eyes, everyone in the audience was silent, for fear that the leader of the blue-skinned tribe would not be able to control his emotions and start killing.
But just as everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, a melodious female voice sounded:
"We, the Crow Crow Tribe, will not be involved in this matter."
The speaker was a woman sitting in the corner. She was wearing a veil and her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her beautiful purple eyes were enough to attract the attention of all men.
Moreover, she has fair skin, slender figure, and elegant temperament. She does not look like a savage at all, but more like a noble lady who walked out of the castle.
At this time, she was like a proud white swan sitting among a group of chickens.
And those local chickens all cast greedy glances at her.
Well, it wasn't all greed, at least there was a blue-skinned chicken whose eyes were particularly fierce, as if he wanted to skin the woman and cramp her.
"The Wandering Crow Tribe? When will it be a woman's turn to speak in the Wandering Crow Tribe? Where is the leader Luen?"
Facing Linya’s selective and devouring gaze, Nora smiled lightly and said:
"My husband returned to the embrace of the gods three months ago, so now the warriors of the Wandering Crow Tribe obey my orders."
"Your husband is dead. Are all the other men in your Crow Crow tribe also dead? You actually succumbed to a woman's knees!"
Hearing such disrespectful remarks, the two savage warriors beside Nora got up angrily and drew their swords to protect the reputation of their clan leaders.
But Nora waved her hand to stop her men, her tone still unhurried:
"Linya, we, the Crow Crow Tribe, will not participate in your actions, and of course, we will not surrender to the Riverbend people. We only serve the old gods and obey every word of his oracle."
After saying that, he turned around and left the cabin.
"Stop!" Of course Linya would not allow her to leave, otherwise the alliance would fall apart before it was even established.
Looking at the group of blue-skinned warriors blocking the door, Nora frowned slightly and asked:
"Linya, we have eaten the bread and salt of the Blue Tribe. Are you going to destroy the rights of guests? Aren't you afraid of being rejected by the gods?"
Linya sneered:
"Woman, don't pretend to be innocent with me. I heard that people from the Huya tribe were inquiring about your whereabouts, saying that the noble from the river bend wanted to see you. If I let you go, who knows if you will turn around.
Let the people of Hebend know the news!"
Nora sighed and explained:
"Yes, that Riverbend noble is indeed looking for us, but I have already rejected his invitation. If you are still not at ease, I can swear to the old gods that I will never reveal your plans."
"I don't believe in women's oaths!" Linya said coldly, "So, please stay with me for a few more days. When the war is over, I will naturally let you go free."
Nora had no choice but to go back to the house and sit down again.
Linya took a deep breath and was about to encourage the other tribal leaders again when she suddenly saw a figure walking in from the door.
"Sorry, I'm a little late. I hope it's not too late."
Everyone followed the sound and suddenly showed expressions of astonishment.
Because the person who came was surprisingly the leader of the Huya Tribe—Qi Man!
Linya immediately ran to the door, hugged Chiman's arm affectionately, and laughed loudly:
"My good nephew, you are indeed here! I knew you were definitely not sincerely surrendering to the people of the River Bend!"
The old patriarch of the Huya tribe married Linya's sister. However, because she died early, the relationship between the two families gradually became colder. But no matter what, this blood relationship has always existed.
"Yes, uncle. I had no choice but to surrender to the Hebend people, but I have never forgotten the hatred of my father and brothers! And now is the best time for us to take revenge!"
"That's right!" Linya stood in the center of the venue holding Cheman's hand, her eyes slowly sweeping over everyone's faces, "Chiefs, what are you afraid of? With the warriors of the Huya Tribe acting as internal agents, Ying Ying
Zuiyu is no longer impregnable! Don’t you have the courage to avenge your shame?”
After seeing Qiman, the expressions of the tribal leaders began to change. When they heard Linya's words, they immediately stopped hesitating and spoke in agreement:
"Okay! Our Changxu Tribe can send out two hundred warriors, vowing to conquer Yingzui Island and avenge our previous humiliation!"
"We can send one hundred and fifty warriors!"
"We can send seventy warriors!"
…
The atmosphere at the venue suddenly became heated, and the tribal leaders seemed to have changed their appearance. They all took out the last of their wealth and prepared to fight with the Hebend people.
