Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty One: Barbarian Attack [Tal]
"Why...why did they choose to come here at this time?" Although the chief changed his face, there was not much panic - more doubt: "How many of them are there?"
"According to the report ahead, there should be only... less than a thousand." The shaman said, "With the manpower there, it is difficult to resist...so I hope the chief can send reinforcements."
"I get it." After saying that, the chief looked at Taal, "Sorry, my brother, I must lose my companion."
"If you assist in the battle, I can also send some brothers to help." Taal felt that the other party was not many - but it was a bit strange.
Help must be helpful, otherwise how can we completely obtain the obedience of the people here? They must make them realize their true abilities.
No matter how strong a person is, he cannot compete with the barbarian army; the most important thing is his command ability.
"Then... I'm so grateful!" Ethan didn't be polite to Tal.
...
After both sides arrived at the camp, they each dispatched a thousand people to the "frontier tribe" at the foot of the mountain;
The Cangshi Tribe has a mountain road that leads there specifically.
Along the way, the chief also told Tar about what happened there.
The scale of the Cangshi tribe is much larger than that of other tribes - because she was originally formed by the merger of several tribes a long time ago;
Several chiefs found it easier to resist the invasion of barbarians when they were concentrated, and over time they completely merged into one;
Since it is to resist invasion, the tribe's structure needs to make some defensive adjustments - for example, establish a frontier position on the road up and down the mountain, build fortifications there, resist the infiltration and destruction of small groups of enemies, and inform in advance when a large number of enemies attack;
There are more than a thousand people temporarily living there - it can be considered as the size of a tribe; every once in a while, the people there will change with the large tribe on the mountain, which is equivalent to shifts.
Many years have passed, and although sometimes frontier tribes will be compromised, they will be taken back soon;
There are many super-large tribes like the Cangshi Tribe in the mountains on the east side of the western border, each with a long history - it is quite rare to have any one broken.
"But this time... something is wrong." Ethan said in some confusion. "There are too few people this time... and it comes too fast."
According to the past, every time the enemy attacked, they would send two or three thousand people or even more to fight for the frontier tribes;
If it can be successfully occupied, burn it and destroy it - although it will be rebuilt in no time, at least during this period of time, the barbarians do not have to worry about the Corey tribe going down the mountain to rob;
The main security of the Cangshi Tribe is quite guaranteed; decades ago, the barbarians dispatched five thousand troops to attack, but returned in vain - those fortifications played a great role, and even women could contribute to the guarding of the tribe.
The situation in other tribes is roughly the same; they fight the barbarians to the death by building wooden stakes, traps, etc.; they can all obtain supplies from the Green Sea Plain, after all, this place is also considered a "wing" through the zenith defense line;
If these tribes are lost, the barbarians can cross the zenith defense line by going around a big circle, which is very convenient whether it is plundering the plain or destroying it behind it.
What Ethan was mainly confused about was the time when the robbery was initiated;
According to past views, each attack would be at least two months apart - those soldiers from the West need to rest;
But this time, it was only about half a month before last time... This is too strange.
It should be related to our arrival - Taal thought in his heart;
The momentum was too great when crossing the wooden wall before, and the soldiers must have reported to their superiors;
The barbarians are launching a conquest now, probably planning to break up our tribe while we have not fully integrated.
...But, for such a big deal, there is no need to take it on your own.
Taal noticed that Amy seemed to almost laugh; as he looked at the latter, she nodded slightly with a smile.
Wonderful thoughts. She must have thought so.
Wait, something is wrong.
"Ethan, my brother..." Tar asked, "You mean, are these barbarians coming to conquer too few?"
"That's right! In the past, the conquest would have to be more than two thousand, and the small moves would not exceed a hundred people at most... This time, I seemed completely confused!"
There is a problem.
If the opponent's commander has no problem with his mind, he should know that this battle will not have any good results - even if there is no previous information;
But at this moment, he already knew that a large number of Corey tribes might join the tribe, so...
He must have had some conspiracy.
"But it's okay! My brother, you will see me showing off your might on the battlefield!" Ethan became more and more excited as he spoke, and even pulled out the giant sword behind him: "I want to cut those ignorant barbarians into several sections!"
"Well..." Tar did not respond to Ethan's expected passion, which made him a little puzzled; the former seemed to be thinking.
But in Ethan's impression, this situation usually means weakness.
"This...my brother, what are you hesitating? Look, the other side at the foot of the mountain... is our frontier tribe! They, they are about to fight!" Ethan thought that a person as powerful as Tar should not hesitate;
Taal looked in the direction Ethan pointed: about a few miles away, there was a tribe of not large size on a gentle hillside; that tribe also had defensive wooden stake fences, but it was a little disrepaired on the east side, that is, this side of the mountain.
"Ethan...my brother, why does the fence on the other side of the tribe look so dilapidated?" Tarr was so anxious that he almost forgot his honorific words.
"Well, my brother, there is no use there!" Ethan waved his hand, "Those were built decades ago! After so many years, no barbarians have chosen to go around the back - they have always rushed up from the front! If they can't get the back from the back, they will be attacked on both sides!"
What if they were going around this time... Taal stopped thinking so.
"My brother, I think it's necessary for us to think about it before taking action." Tar suggested, "The enemy's situation seems a bit suspicious..."
Taal didn't continue talking.
Because he found that Ethan's displeasure and impatientness had been written on his face.
"My brother, the enemy is already in front of you, are you still thinking about these things?" Ethan pointed to the forest in front of the tribe and said, "Look... the barbarians have arrived there, and the two sides are about to fight! Hesitate for a while... Do you want me to watch my fellow tribe suffer...!?"
Oh my God.
