Chapter 1 Betrayal
Updated: 2013-01-13
"They are going to fight Akansa tonight?" Wu Liang couldn't help laughing after hearing Xiao Gan's reply: "Are they forced themselves to jump over the wall? How many people are left now?" Xiao Gan looked at it at that time and said only one or two hundred. These people may succeed unless they have super combat power, strong morale, and good time and place. However, Akansa obviously did not have these advantages. A large part of the reason why Akansa looked down on him before was because of Akan's tactics: first use slaves to break through the opponent's defense, and then a regular army attack. If there weren't a large number of slaves fighting for a certain identity, Akansa would be nothing.
"Do we want it..." Xiao Gan was considering Wu Liang because he could see that Wu Liang admired Adejie very much, and this time Adejie's night attack was more like hitting a stone with an egg, so Xiao Gan suggested helping him in order to protect Adejie.
However, Wu Liang felt that there was no need for this. If Edjie was such an impulsive person, Wu Liang would not value him, because such a person would bring his brothers into difficulties or even desperate situations due to certain pressure, which was not what Wu Liang hoped.
What Wu Liang values is Edjie's invincible ability before meeting him. If he can continue this winning rate tonight, he may be a good helper in the future.
"But we can send two smart people to see the movement, fearing that they are numbing us, and the target of the night attack was not Akansa but us." Wu Liang said: "I hate being plotted against others the most." Xiao Gan also smiled and said: "Of course, so do I."
When the light in the originally not dense woods gradually dimmed, torches had been lit on the walls of Ekansa's tribe. Before nightfall, Edger had distributed all the food in his hands to his soldiers, letting them eat and drink, and then issued the order of the general attack, and strengthened everyone's belief that they would win. If they could not win tonight, then there would be no food to eat when they woke up tomorrow morning.
"Uncle, Sulawan's messenger came a few days ago..." Area whispered, and Edje asked in surprise: "What? They sent someone, why don't I know?"
"You went to prepare food that time, and the man said he wanted to find Ekansa's heir..." Aria's voice was even lower, but he understood his meaning very clearly: I am the recognized heir and legal elder of Ekansa.
There was no expression on Edger's face, and he nodded slowly and asked, "What? What did they say?"
"As long as we surrender to Sulawan, they will send troops to help me capture Ekansa and help me restore my identity and control the entire tribe!" Area seemed to have some confidence, and he looked complacent when he said this.
Edger sighed softly and asked, "It's so simple? Is it just surrender? Do they have no other conditions?"
"We only need to provide them with twenty young virgins every year to bear the tribute to the Kodi tribe. If they need it, we must send troops to respond." Aria counted and said at the end: "It's just that, what's the uncle's feeling? At least we don't have to fight hard, and as long as the Sulawang tribe sends troops to help, we can not only conquer the tribe, but also conquer the city of Dawn, so that we can Akansa..."
"We Akansa?" Edger snorted coldly: "Did you think too well? At that time, was the name of Akansa on this land? You are just a puppet controlled by Sulawan. If someone asks you to contribute, you will give people, and if you ask you to send troops, you will send troops. Isn't this a branch of Sulawan?"
"At that time, you can't send troops in the name of Ekansa, because you have to obey Sulawan's orders! And the population of our tribe will plummet. 20 young women a year, ten years will be equivalent to hundreds of newborns and brave warriors missing!" Edger's tone was very high and his tone was very strict. Aurea was silent by this uncle, and finally muttered in a low voice: "This is also a temporary solution. When our tribe stabilizes and vigorously develops, he naturally doesn't have to be afraid of them! And the uncle, the god of war, is here, why are we afraid..."
"God of War?" Edger smiled bitterly, "We have to bear the annual tribute to the Kodi tribe. Do you know how big this is? You may not know the amount of metals our tribe contributes every year, but I can tell you that if even Sulawan is responsible, our tribe's own metal utensils will be completely insufficient."
"Not to mention weapons and equipment, even daily tools will become scarce. After our tribe is short of supplies, you can support so many slaves. Can you still guarantee to become stronger again?" Edger shook his head: "Ekansa, even if we fall into the hands of Isaas, we must not succumb to other tribes! Be a man, be a little ambitious, prepare for it, and set off with me later!"
Edger turned around and took off the armor from the rack and put it on his body. Aurea lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, then raised his head, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle, have you forgotten Dawn City? Even if we win, how will you answer the messenger tomorrow? If we don't surrender to them, we will still face their attack?" Area walked behind Edge intentionally or unintentionally, but Edge was not at all prepared. He just quickly tied his legs and tightly protected his waist.
"They are good, and the elder's command ability is even better than me. Do you see the messenger during the day? It seems that everyone has some special abilities, otherwise they would not have quickly established a foothold in the Puppet Domain, nor would they win so many battles." Edger said while wearing shoulder pads: "I will think about it carefully after tonight, if I am still alive."
"Isn't surrender the same thing as surrendering Sulawan?" Area raised his voice: "Uncle, please consider who is stronger than Sulawan or Dawn City? And the daytime messengers asked us to surrender. This result would be better than subordinate to Sulawan, because in that case the Akansa tribe would disappear from this land."
As if he was afraid that Edje would not be able to tell the difference, Edje continued to persuade: "And if we surrender to Dawn City, we will inevitably anger Surawang. I heard that the messenger boy said that they wanted to unify the entire puppet domain, then there would be a big battle between them and Surawang! In the opinion of uncle, who can win between them? Don't forget that the Surawang tribe has the most ape race, and many scarce populations that cannot be seen usually have been subdued by them, and..." Edje whispered a few names, and Edje's movements paused.
"I mean, if I really want to surrender, let me go by myself. If I were there, they would never attack you." Edger's stillness resumed again. He turned around and looked at Ereya and said, "And I surrendered not to the City of Dawn, but the race of Apes. If it was really like the messenger said that they wanted to drive the Kodi out of this planet, then I would do my best; but once I found that what they did was not consistent with what they said, I would not only leave there, but also cut off the hypocrite's head!"
"Have you considered it clearly?" Area's right hand pressed on the sword, and with his slight trembling voice, Area slowly pulled out the sword. Although he seemed very scared, he still controlled himself to try not to make any sound. Edge was still facing away from Area at this moment. He would never have thought that his nephew would show his weapon to him!
"Uncle, do you think Dawn City can beat Sulawan?" Area slowly turned the tip of the knife behind Edge. Edge still did not realize the danger. He had already put on his inner armor and was about to get the armor, but the next moment he felt a stinging pain in his back! A cold sweat suddenly appeared on Edge's head, and he felt that his internal organs were stabbed by something. A scorching pain spread on his back, and the thick body hair and inner armor were wet, and a heat flow was pouring out like a spring water.
"You!" Edge slowly turned around, and Area had already let go of his sword and took a few steps back. He saw his uncle looking at him in surprise, while the other party's blood-red eyes made Area tremble!
"Why do you do this?" Edger had a lot of things to ask in his heart, but his hands trembled a few times, just asking such a question. He really didn't know why his nephew, who was a child, betrayed him at such a critical moment. The sharp blade inserted behind him had already explained everything!
"I can't let you destroy Akansa with your own hands!" Aurea shook his head and still retreated: "If you surrender to Dawn City, then Sulawan will definitely be suspicious of us, and may even kill me! And Dawn City will definitely not beat Sulawan. Even if you want to accompany those lunatics to die, don't implicate me!"
Edger smiled bitterly, and the blood flowing from his lips dyed the leather armor on his chest red.
"I want to save the apes, and I want you to stop..." Edger shook his head. He felt his head a little dizzy and his eyes began to turn black.
But before Edger fainted, he knelt on one knee on the ground. Edger stretched out his right hand and spread his five fingers, as if he could no longer pinch it. Area seemed to be worried that his uncle would take a blow before his death, and he had retreated to the door.
"You, do you think..." Edger seemed to want to say something, but then he shook his head and finally fell to the ground. Ereya didn't dare to pull out the knife. He turned around and ran out of the tent in a hurry. Several warrior leaders outside saw him running out and met him. It seemed that they had planned it before. If Edger insisted on his own, they would take some compulsive actions.
"Let everyone be prepared!" Ariya's expression was extremely fierce. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go and sulawon!"^-^138 Reading Network (www.13800100.com) Read without a window^-^
