Chapter 229 Contact
When the sun rose early the next morning and shone on the snow, the ancestral warriors of the Wildmane tribe had already gotten up, taking advantage of the embers of the bonfire that had not been extinguished last night. After having breakfast, grabbing two handfuls of snow and wiping my face, we were ready to set off.
Although they slept a night in the wild, for the ancestral warriors of the Wild Mane tribe, the warriors blessed by the ancestral spirits are physically much better than mortals, and such cold is still within their ability to bear. within the range.
After a simple breakfast, a group of people from the Wild Mane tribe continued to chase the traces left by Charlie yesterday, heading towards the camp of the white people they suspected.
Charlie did not deliberately hide his whereabouts yesterday, so the traces he left in the snow were still very obvious.
After all, there was waist-deep snow, and even if Charlie wanted to hide the traces of his progress, it would not be easy.
The ancestral warriors of the Wild Mane Tribe gained power from their ancestral spirits and were as fast as galloping horses. Even under normal conditions, they could run faster than ordinary people.
So it didn’t take too long for the Yemane tribe to follow the traces and find the Eagle Beak Cliff base.
Looking at the orderly camp under the cliff, the faces of the Yemane tribe suddenly became very serious.
"It seems to be the worst situation. The white people have set their sights on the land in the north." The ancestral warrior who had previously worried that the white people were coming to occupy the north was worried. Although he was worried about this happening, When the scene he was worried about actually appeared, he felt sincerely afraid.
It's not that he is timid, but that he clearly knows how terrible the white people are. They are definitely not enemies that can be defeated with courage.
If only they were the Wild Mane tribe, let alone facing the white man's army, just the camp in front of them would be enough to crush the Wild Mane tribe.
Such a judgment is based on the fact that the camp is full of ordinary white people, and does not take into account the possibility that there are hundreds of "soldiers" in the camp.
Although they noticed the existence of the White Bear Knight, because they did not dare to get too close and their sight was blocked, they could only roughly estimate the combat power of the camp in front of them based on the indigenous tribes of the same size. Therefore, in their estimation The number of White Bear Knights is only a dozen at most.
However, even so, this is enough power to fight against or even crush the Wildmane tribe.
You must know that although there are seven or eight of them in total, they are already close to one-third of the ancestral warriors of the Wild Mane tribe.
So far, the entire Wildmane tribe has less than thirty ancestor warriors, and this is even counting those young warriors who have just passed the ancestor trial.
If we only count adult warriors with sufficient experience, the Wildmane tribe only has a total of thirteen qualified ancestor warriors.
Thirteen adult ancestral warriors cannot defeat thirteen white warriors. Even if they are young and inexperienced warriors, they can still be on par with the ancestral warriors, not to mention that white people can't beat them. There are other armed forces present.
You must know that the weapons of white people are easier to use than the hatchets of indigenous people. Even a child can kill an ancestral warrior who did not pay attention when picking up a white man's musket.
So when they actually discovered a white man's camp, the hearts of these ancestral warriors of the Wild Mane tribe had sunk to the bottom.
However, at this time, Lily's father gritted his teeth and suddenly said: "Let's go down! Make contact with these white people. We must find out their purpose of coming to the north!" "But why would the white people be willing? Communicate with us?" An ancestor warrior expressed opposition to this. In their impression, white people are barbaric and cruel, and they are arrogant and unwilling to communicate with indigenous people.
Talking about this issue, Lily’s father said calmly: “The white soldier Lily met yesterday did not show hostility, but gave her a dagger as a thank you, so We can try to contact them. "
He wanted to explore the background of this white camp first, at least to know what they came to the north for and what their attitude was towards the indigenous tribes.
This way the Wild Mane tribe can at least be prepared and not be caught off guard.
"But what if the white people deceive us? No tribe has been deceived by them." Another ancestral warrior expressed concern that the reputation of the white people among the indigenous tribes is only worse than the evil in their myths The source is a little better.
He was worried that if the white people showed friendliness first to deceive them, and then knew the location of the Wild Mane tribe, they would kill them directly.
Of course, we have to guard against this problem, but Lily's father said at this time: "Even if they plan to lie to us, we must contact them first. We must understand their attitude and prepare for the tribe. Buy time.”
After hearing what Lily’s father said, everyone discussed in low voices for a while, and then they all agreed with the idea.
After all, they also knew that even if they did not come into contact with these white people, with the size of this camp, they would sooner or later find the Wild Mane tribe.
Want to confront it head-on? They knew the fighting power of the Wildmane tribe very well. Even if they were fully prepared, it would be very difficult to win. It was hard to say how many people in the tribe would die by then.
So after some discussion, the ancestral warriors of the Wild Mane tribe decided to make contact with the white man’s camp first.
However, before contact, they also asked two young ancestral warriors to go back to the tribe to tell the tribe about the white camp and prepare the tribe. If they failed to go back, at least there would be someone to go back and report the news. .
After the two selected young ancestor warriors left, Lily's father also took several adult ancestor warriors to clean up the traces of their departure, trying to buy as much time as possible for the tribe.
Then, they estimated that the two young ancestral warriors had gone far, and then they walked towards the white man's camp under the cliff.
Soon they arrived at the gate of the camp. Lily's father glanced at the others, gritted his teeth and handed all the weapons he carried to a companion, holding only the weapon Lily brought back yesterday. Holding a dagger, a man walked towards the white camp.
The white bear knights in charge of vigilance in the camp discovered these indigenous people at the first time, but they did not attack or warn them directly. Instead, after seeing only one unarmed man approaching, they quickly sent The man went to notify the management of the camp and also reported it to the old housekeeper Foster.
At the same time, one of the White Bear Knights also took the initiative to greet him and blocked Lily's father from the camp.
