Chapter 16 Prophecy
In just one morning, the army of the tribal alliance completed the occupation of the entire canyon.
In this operation, more than 110 people were killed or injured by the army of the tribal alliance, and more than 300 people were killed or injured by the pioneers. The pioneers who were originally entrenched in the canyon were all driven out by the army of the tribal alliance.
After expelling the pioneers in the canyon, the army of the tribal alliance set up checkpoints and camps at the dangerous places at both ends of the canyon and at the entrance where underground relics could be excavated, and began to send soldiers to garrison and patrol. That's how it was decided.
In just one morning, Zhang Tie witnessed with his own eyes the iron law of survival in this era.
To the pioneers, the army of the tribal alliance is like robbers and bandits, but to the army of the tribal alliance, these pioneers are all thieves. Zhang Tie discovered that because both sides have their own reasons, the reasoning is bullshit , In the end, they still speak with their own fists and swords.
The fist of the tribal alliance is the hardest and strongest, so what the tribal alliance says is the rule here.
...
At noon, the sun was hanging high in the sky. Zhang Tie rode on the rhinoceros. At the entrance to the east of the canyon, he watched several tribal alliance warriors set up a huge wooden bulletin board at the entrance of the canyon.
——This place is now under the jurisdiction of the tribal alliance army in the southern part of the ice and snow wasteland.
——Welcome all the pioneers to go to the underground ruins to find treasures.
——We will collect 50% of the relic excavation tax on all the income of the pioneers in the underground relics. At the same time, we will guarantee the personal and property safety of taxpayers on the ice and snow wasteland.
There are only three sentences on the bulletin board. The wooden bulletin board is new, and the writing stands out in bright red. It was written with the blood of the pioneers whose heads had been beheaded. Just a few meters away from the public sign, hundreds of heads of pioneers were piled up together, in stark contrast to the bulletin board.
Excavation tax? Hell, when will these half-barbarians on the ice and snow wasteland collect taxes.
Those who are incapable of robbing need to use knives and guns, while those who are capable of robbing only need to collect taxes. This is what that fellow Tang De once said to Zhang Tie. At this moment, looking at the bulletin board that made people feel ridiculous, Zhang Tie finally understood that the so-called tax collection is often just another way of saying robbery. The only difference between the two is that this way of thinking looks more civilized That's all. And it also took care of the fragile self-esteem of the robbed.
Behind him came the clatter of iron hooves of the rhinoceros cavalry,
Zhang Tie turned his head and saw Sabrina leading a group of more than 200 female cavalry rushing from the canyon.
Sabrina was wearing the purple leather armor that Zhang Tie wore when he saw her for the first time, and her black hair fluttered up and down in the brisk leap of the saber-toothed beast, showing infinite vitality.
Seeing Zhang Tie stop here, a smile appeared on Sabrina's face. He rushed towards Zhang Tie with the women's army, and then stopped in front of Zhang Tie.
The rhinoceros under Zhang Tie's crotch seemed to be a little afraid of the saber-toothed beast under Sabrina's crotch. When it saw the saber-toothed beast approaching, it couldn't help shaking its head and took two steps back to the side.
"People from the Gray Eagle Tribe said you went out, and you are indeed here!" Sabrina's voice could not conceal her joy.
"What. Are you looking for me?" Zhang Tie asked her.
"It's boring here. I heard that you are going to hunt giant wolves. How about we go together, just to add a little meat to the tribe. Gangula said that everyone may stay here longer than expected, and there is not enough dry food. I can only figure out a way by myself, it is estimated that every tribe will send hunting teams to hunt every day in the future, we can be regarded as the first step!"
Looking at the group of female soldiers behind Sabrina, Zhang Tie knew that Sabrina's hunting was fake, and it was true to take the opportunity to go out to play. If the rations of the wild bear tribe depended on these female soldiers, it is estimated that all the wild bears would be killed in two weeks. The warriors of the tribe are going to gnaw the grass roots.
But that's also good, it doesn't contradict my purpose of coming here, if I go out with this group of women soldiers, no matter what I do, I won't be so conspicuous.
"Are you just a few people? You must know that the pioneers are still gathering outside the canyon!"
"Isn't there you as a bodyguard, and don't underestimate people, I am already a seventh-level fighter this year!" Sabrina said proudly with her chest up.
Thinking of the scene when he saw this mermaid swimming in the river, Zhang Tie quietly took a look at Sabrina's two big white rabbits, swallowed quietly, and said after a moment of hesitation, "Okay then , but you have to listen to me where you want to go!"
"No problem, but are you familiar with the surrounding environment? Don't take us around for a long time without finding any prey!" Sabrina gave Zhang Tie a white look.
Zhang Tie smiled, and just raised his arms. A few seconds later, the sound of flapping bird wings was heard in the air, and a white owl flapped its wings and flew over from a distance. Landing on Zhang Tie's arm, his head turned like a turret, staring at Sabrina in front of him.
"Ah..." Sabrina looked at Zhang Tie in surprise. "Is this your pet?"
"Not bad, how's it going?" Zhang Tie said slightly proudly.
"White owl, so beautiful!"
"With it here, you don't have to worry about not being able to find your prey now!" Zhang Tie touched the owl's head as he spoke, and gave the owl a command. After flying to a height of more than 100 meters, he circled in the sky for a while, and then flew in one direction.
"Drive..." Zhang Tie shook the reins of the rhinoceros and rushed out with the owl.
Looking at Zhang Tie's back, a gleam flashed in Sabrina's eyes, and then shook the reins, and the saber-toothed beast rushed out with Zhang Tie, and the cavalry of the Detachment of Women hurriedly followed.
In the sky, the owl is not a creature that is good at eyesight, but anyway, the eyesight of this creature is much stronger than that of humans, so put it in the sky. It's basically like putting an active sentinel in the sky, and this owl has an ability that other animals can't match. That is its super hearing. Its hearing is even more terrifying than its eyesight. The shape of the entire face of an owl is a radar for receiving sound. In winter, this kind of thing can even hear mice a kilometer away The sound of activities under snowdrifts, and can be accurately located.
This knowledge was also discovered by Zhang Tie in the process of getting in touch with his pet owl in the past few days. The Great Wilderness Seal is between the owl and him. A mysterious connection has been established, through which Zhang Tie can slowly perceive some strange abilities possessed by this animal. This is also the strength of The Great Wilderness.
Before that, Zhang Tie had no idea that the pet owl he had tamed in the ice and snow wasteland had such a powerful ability.
So although this owl is of a low level, it is the best sentinel and scout for Zhang Tie at the moment.
...
Less than one kilometer out of the canyon, Zhang Tie discovered a problem. As long as Sabrina rides her mount close to him, the rhinoceros under his crotch can't help but want to back up, it seems that he dare not keep pace with Sabrina's mount and get too close, which makes Zhang Tie very depressed , to correct the direction and speed of the rhinoceros under the crotch at any time.
Seeing such a situation, Sabrina giggled. "This saber-toothed beast is the best and most powerful mount on the ice and snow wasteland. Many animals are a little afraid of it. If it weren't for the relationship between this thing and its rider, which would only allow you to drive it, I will give it to you now. Got a saber-toothed beast!"
Thinking of that cousin Nurdo who met Aurora for the first time was also coquettishly riding such a saber-toothed beast. Zhang Tie immediately became interested in this kind of animal.
"Is this saber-toothed beast captured in the wild? Why have I not seen this kind of animal in the wild during the time I have been in the ice and snow wasteland?"
"Almost all saber-toothed beasts are wild, but wild saber-toothed beasts can only be seen in the northern regions of the ice and snow wasteland. Only the giant bear tribe of the ice field has mastered the method of capturing and taming this powerful creature. Our sword The toothed beasts are all purchased from the giant bear tribe in the ice field..." Sabrina said while gently stroking the golden hair on the head of the saber-toothed beast she was riding, "Lili has been with me for more than twenty years. Years ago, it was a gift from my father on my seventh birthday!"
Zhang Tie looked at the huge guy. He didn't expect this guy to be in his twenties. From the performance point of view, this thing seems to have a lifespan much longer than a horse. When a horse reaches its twenties He should have entered old age, but this guy's lifespan is still alive and kicking.
"This animal has a long lifespan?"
"Of course, saber-toothed beasts are standard sixth-level creatures. The lifespan of ordinary saber-toothed beasts is about the same as that of ordinary people. They can live to be about a hundred years old. In the ice and snow wasteland, the biggest dream of almost every bear warrior is to have a Saber-toothed beasts are your own mounts and partners! In battle, the same number of saber-toothed beast cavalry can easily restrain more than three times the other cavalry, and the endurance and speed of saber-toothed beasts can almost become human mounts on a large scale Among the top three animals in the world, it is not difficult at all to run thousands of miles overnight!"
Zhang Tie was secretly surprised by Sabrina's introduction. This kind of animal is simply a natural and powerful mount. If it can be equipped on a large scale, it is simply a biological tank on the battlefield. With its size and ease of running, it shouldn't be a problem to equip this kind of thing with a high-protection mount armor.
"Has the Wild Bear tribe formed a saber-toothed beast cavalry?"
Sabrina gave Zhang Tie a blank look, "Yes, every tribe in the ice and snow wasteland wants to have a saber-toothed cavalry, but saber-toothed beasts are too difficult to obtain, and the cost of raising a saber-toothed beast is also too high After the age of three, a saber-toothed beast eats at least 20 kilograms of meat every day. Led by my father, he is the personal guard of the tribal patriarch. In the entire ice and snow wasteland, only the giant bear tribe of the ice field maintains a king's knights with a population of about 5,000 and uses saber-toothed beasts as mounts to protect our Slavs. holy temple."
"King's Knights?" This special name made Zhang Tieju feel a little strange.
"That's a group of lunatics, guarding a strange prophecy generation after generation, paranoid people who live completely in their own fantasies, you've seen two such lunatics and paranoiacs!" Sabrina said with a bit of disappointment .
Zhang Tie's heart moved, "Roslav and Wajid?"
"It's not them or anyone else. They came to the giant bear tribe this time to tell my father that the prophecy they guarded that has existed for hundreds of years is about to come true. The king of the Slavs who ruled the ice and snow wasteland has come. Let the Wild Bear Tribe get ready to welcome the king!" Sabrina's tone was already sneering when she said the rest.
"Is there any conspiracy here?" Zhang Tie blurted out suddenly, because in the history of mankind, there are too many things such as creating an idol and a puppet to order the princes. Zhang Tie instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this. There are too many possibilities for tampering, and human ambition and greed are the most difficult to measure.
"Now all the bear-level tribes on the ice and snow wasteland dominate one side, and they have already separated. How can it be so easy to reunite? Go obediently to the Erqida mountain to listen to a guy who no one knows, tell that The guy took the throne?" Sabrina shook her head, "Do you know what my father thought when he heard the news?"
"What do you think?"
"My father asked my younger sisters to stay at home obediently during this time and get ready. If the Icefield Giant Bear Tribe really produces such a guy, my father would like to push my younger sisters over there. It doesn't matter which guy is true or not, let's talk about being that guy's father-in-law first!"
Zhang Tie rolled his eyes when he heard this. These old fellows are all smarter than monkeys. Faced with this kind of thing, they didn't make any actual promises. Damn, it's not easy to find a few fools in this world.
However, when he thought of the sneaky eyes that Roslav and Wajid from the giant ice field looked at him, Zhang Tie's mood suddenly improved again. Who cares, the wicked have their own way, as long as Just keep those weird guys away from me.
"Your father has no vision. If I were your father, it would be enough to marry you alone. With your ability, you are sure to be able to fascinate the man who is going to become the king of the Slavs in the prophecy! "Zhang Tie laughed and made a joke with Sabrina.
Sabrina also laughed, and then suddenly pointed to the distant sky, "Look, what does your owl mean by hovering there!"
The owl was circling around in the distant sky. Seeing the figure 8, Zhang Tie burst out laughing, "Ha... ha... the prey is ahead..."
"Do you want to come over? My Lili is more than enough for two people!" Sabrina glanced at Zhang Tie.
Without saying a word, Zhang Tie leaped directly from the rhinoceros under him, leaped across a space of several meters, and jumped behind Sabrina. Holding Sabrina's slender waist, she kissed Sabrina's face.
"Run, my little mare!"
"You little bastard!" Sabrina cursed, but shook the rein in her hand, and the saber-toothed beast ran towards the direction pointed by the owl...
After running a few steps, Zhang Tie climbed up from under her leather armor with the strange hands around her waist... (To be continued.
