Two updates today——————Oh? It’s only been two days and you can’t stand it? Hearing what Elder Lu Lingba said, Zhou Jiping couldn’t help being slightly stunned, but he didn’t express his position directly and let Lu Lingba
The elder continued. Now he has the mentality of a leader. Compared with the impulsiveness and impetuosity before, he is much calmer.
"A large tribe of two hundred people originally lived here. As soon as the Northern Army came, our tribe's soldiers fought with them. As a result, the militia company commander was killed, and then the chief moved the others with him..." Lu
Linba said worriedly
Huh? Zhou Jiping sensitively captured a piece of information: The chief moved the entire tribe. This is a bit strange!
Not much to say, even if the Northern Army occupied this place and the militia company commander was killed, it would be a bit unreasonable for a tribal chief to be transferred first. If you leave, who will lead the remaining tribal warriors to fight? Let a tribal leader move.
Tribal elders? Although the land of each tribal chief
Everyone is relatively aloof, but this is a bit unjustifiable. What's worse is that the tribe's only remaining set of communication equipment was taken away by the chief, leaving these tribal warriors trapped in the fortifications without any news from the outside.
No, this cannot but be said to be the chief's lack of consideration in doing things.
"We people are trapped in this dark underground fortification. It's so quiet all around. We can't hear or see what's going on outside. We don't know whether it's day or night. There are still some strange noises here from time to time.
, everyone was frightened. I don’t know if it was home.
The spirits living underground are coming to take us away... It would be great if you came, great chief. We are saved. Are you here to take us out?" Speaking of this, Lulimba and other tribal warriors stationed in the underground fortifications
They looked at Zhou Jiping pitifully, waiting for his answer.
Hearing this, Zhou Jiping couldn't help but be silent for a while. What should he do? How should he answer? Refuse them directly? Tell them that we are here to fight and have never thought about taking them out? No, even if we win the battle on the ground
The Northern Army has eliminated the thorn in the side of this relay station, that is, it needs people to garrison the fortifications and select them. Undoubtedly, they still have to choose from among them.
"I'm not here to take you out." After thinking for a long time, Zhou Jiping decided to give these people an answer.
As soon as he said this, Zhou Jiping saw that the faces of all the tribal guards showed a desperate gray color, which looked very scary in the dim light.
"We are here to fight," Zhou Jiping continued to say calmly, pointing at the top with his finger. "The target is the Northern Army above us."
Hearing what Zhou Jiping said, Lulimba suddenly saw a glimmer of hope in despair. He said smartly: "Kill those people above, and we can still get out." As he spoke, he nodded to the others.
, indicating to myself that there is hope for these people.
Zhou Jiping shook his head helplessly and said: "I'm afraid not. Although we may be able to destroy this relay station, there is also a possibility that we cannot defeat it. In other words, even if we defeat it, there should be someone stationed here." At this point, Zhou Jiping's
His eyes fell on Elder Lulimba
"I heard that you once suggested that this underground fortification should have defense and combat functions. This suggestion is very good. But now that the Northern Army is coming, why do you want to leave? Then this fortification that consumes a huge amount of manpower and material resources is not
Is it all in vain? Isn’t the food we have here just thrown here in vain?” Zhou Jiping asked several questions in a row and immediately stopped Elder Lulimba from asking.
"It's hard to live here, it's lonely. I know this, but think about it, if we don't keep fighting here, it will be so easy for the Northern Army up there to roam across the Imara grassland, and we will still be like this in the future.
Are we the owners of this piece of grassland? Will this food still be ours? Will our family and tribe still exist safely?" Zhou Jiping continued to ask
Lulimba lowered his head in shame and stopped talking. Looking at this man who was at least twenty years older than him, he showed regret. Zhou Jiping didn't know whether what he said was serious or not.
"But even the chief has left. He took our family and went to the old camp of the tribe. What does it mean for us to stay here?" A tribal soldier next to him was not angry. He expressed his dissatisfaction out of guilt.
His voice became softer and softer afterward.
Going to the tribe’s old camp? Zhou Jiping was shocked by the news. He turned his head to Lulimba and said, “What’s going on? Tell me?”
Lulimba raised his head absentmindedly and sighed softly and said, "Our tribal area is composed of three tribes. The chief is a Kalaha. He has the most people under his command. The militia company commander and I are both Masi tribesmen."
, although there are not many Masi people in our tribe, they are all
Strong warriors. In the past, this tribal area was relatively united, but since the militia company commander was killed, the morale of the tribal soldiers has been greatly affected. At this time, the chief proposed to move immediately to avoid the Northern Army in front of them and return to them.
When I went to the old camp of the Kalaha people, he said..."
At this point, Lulimba suddenly stopped, as if there was something he couldn't say.
"What did he say?" Zhou Jiping's eyebrows furrowed. If it is true as Lulimba said, then the chief of this tribal area will be done.
"He..." Lulimba sighed heavily and said as if he had made up his mind: "He said that this war is between Damon and the Northern Army. It has nothing to do with them Kalaha people and has nothing to do with us Mara.
It’s okay for the Westerners to say that the benefits of diamonds and oil haven’t benefited us, so we don’t have to work hard for Damon.”
Zhou Jiping listened to Lulimba's narration expressionlessly, and had already decided on the theme in his heart: This chief must pay a price. The grassland tribal alliance provides guns, men, and food to each tribal area, but he did not expect to receive such a look.
Why didn't Wolf think about it when he was running away with his men? Because if he ran away, the resistance in this defense area would definitely be abnormally slow. When he called the nearby tribes during the day, he only called one and a half companies from the neighboring tribes area. It turned out that
All the militiamen here have run away.
"Where are the others? Just follow them?" Zhou Jiping continued to ask
"There's no way this time the Masi clashed with the Northern Army too harshly. We Masi people suffered too heavy losses. Except for these people who stayed, many men were persuaded to leave by their families even if they wanted to fight. After all,
No one wants to see his family members beaten to death," Lulimba sighed.
