Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three: Leaving the Horde [Ire]
"My half-brother! I can't bear to leave you! Why, why should I leave!" Roka's eyes were filled with tears, and his hands tightly held Oleka's shoulders: "Isn't it good to stay with your brother!"
Oleka also burst into tears and cried: "Brother, I can't bear to part with you either! But... I am the leader of the Iron Teeth Group, and I have the responsibility to make it grow and grow..."
In the tribe's square, a grand farewell ceremony was underway;
Although the farewell ceremony was quite lively, there was no trace of festive atmosphere;
Even Ai Lei, who likes to complain, lowered his head and looked at him silently.
The Iron Teeth Group, who had been living here for three days, is about to leave; there is no doubt that both sides are deeply reluctant - especially the boss.
These two people met completely too late; after Roka resolved the affairs of the tribe, he kept talking to Oleka, and had endless things to say, and often used wooden weapons to gesture a few times;
As for the welcome ceremony held by the tribe for them three days ago when the Iron Tooth first arrived, the tribe was even more grand and spectacular;
Not only are there food, wine, singing, dancing and juggling, but also the most shocking wrestling competitions.
Ailey also saw with his own eyes how the tribe warriors wrestled - he was quite impressed. It has been three days since then, and the details are clearly remembered:
First, the warriors on both sides stepped onto the wooden ring - the ring was about eight feet in diameter, which was really not big for the two strong men - and then showed their muscles to the audience;
At this time, the girls in the tribe will throw the picked flowers onto the stage - this link can probably tell which side is more popular.
Then, both sides warm up and inform them of their names and "titles" - if there is any, then they will enter the formal battle.
There is no fence in the ring; the way to determine the outcome is quite concise and clear, and admit defeat or being pushed off the ring is a defeat.
There are certain standards for the attack location and method, and the most special rule is "not being able to dodge the opponent's attack with big moves."
In other words, when the opponent is rushing towards him, he must deal with it head-on and must not dodge;
Dodging will be regarded as "cowardly" and "cowardly", which is even more embarrassing than losing in a wrestling competition.
Even if the soldiers were directly knocked out of the ring by the other party, they would be "insufficient" and it would not be shameful;
But if the whole person goes away and causes the other party to fall down, it will be regarded as a "violation". Not only will it be sentenced to lose, but it will also be ridiculed for at least half a month. It is really unpaid.
Even a small dodge will be booed by the audience around them; they believe that the warriors on the ring are pure power confrontation, and as for skills? It doesn't matter~
It has to be said that this pure power confrontation really makes people excited; every move of these muscular men is full of vigor and accompanied by a low or high roar, even bystanders will involuntarily "ignite";
The mercenaries of the Iron Tooth Group were also competitive and after understanding the general rules, they all came to the stage to try;
Of course, since they did not fully understand the rules of wrestling, they made some dodging actions; the audience did not react abnormally, but just muttered a few words in a low voice, and then continued to applaud the soldiers' performances;
The mercenaries of the Iron Tooth Group were much less proficient than those of the Korre clan warriors, so they were defeated one after another - except for Geral, everyone else retreated without support;
Geral successfully defeated a tribe warrior and won a lot of praise - it was hard to believe that his unsolid body actually hid such a huge power.
As for Aley - he looked at the blocky muscles of the Warriors in the stands, pinched his not-magnificent biceps a few times, and decisively gave up participating - he didn't plan to go up and take risks even if he had a rune with his right hand.
For Aray, who emphasizes agility and skill, this is simply overwhelming disadvantage.
The finale of the entire wrestling competition is naturally the confrontation between Roca and Oleka;
Roka, without a doubt, is the strongest warrior in this tribe—or else he would not be able to lead the warriors of other tribes;
Although Oleka is not as good as Geral in terms of skills, he is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the Iron Tooth.
The intensity of the two men's confrontation is also quite rare in the history of this tribe.
The roars of both sides shocked the audience's eardrums; the crisp sounds of the collision between fists and palms were full of power;
The only eight-foot-foot ring seems not enough for them to fight; when the battle situation is getting hot, the two men actually jumped off the ring and began to continue fighting on the ground!
The audience held torches and cheered around them; the battle lasted for more than half an hour before the two fell down exhausted.
As for the outcome, both of them were both “the other party is the winner”; in the end, the prize—the roasted young wild boar—was shared by both of them, which was really a joy.
After the two recovered their physical strength, they felt that it was not enough to fall for only one game, so they actually had another game;
That night, until Aly couldn't resist sleeping completely, the two were still falling down... I really admire their physical strength.
However, no matter how good the two of them are, they still have to separate.
Although some members of the Iron Ottoman do not mind living in such a place, for more people, this is not a suitable place for life.
Even if the Corey tribes approach the Kingdom of Fares, they are still "outsiders" living in the mountains and having another set of customs - this brings a very strong sense of discomfort.
More importantly, they can't find the same feeling as the Adventure Group Guild here.
Almost every adult man here does the same job as a mercenary: hunting monsters and handling chores, but the method of getting rewards is different from that of the guild - it is evaluated and allocated by the chief.
Moreover, they were not interested in joining an inexplicable "mercenary group".
In this way, the Iron Teeth Team will not be able to grow and grow... Oleka has been worried about this matter these days.
In the end, he decided to take the mercenaries of the Iron Tooth Group to leave here and go to the Rein Leader to find a suitable city or village to live in.
He made an agreement with Roka that when he retired, he would return to this tribe and continue to wrestle with Roka - even if his physical condition did not allow it, he would continue to compete in other ways.
The farewell ceremony was not long - considering that everyone needed to rush to go, they could not stay for too long.
Roca was also very interesting; he took out a lot of jerky he had stored and called on other tribe warriors to donate together;
When the mercenaries of the Iron Tooth Group left, everyone's hands were not empty.
This friendship will never be forgotten.
Oleka finally glanced at the tribe and rushed down the mountain with everyone.
