Chapter 128 Burning Department
Deep in the Mingyue Mountains, dozens of warriors from mountain clans were scattered around the corners of the hillside.
They supported each other exhaustedly and collapsed. Blood seeped out of the simple equipment worn by the soldiers. There were many blood stains on their arms, faces and even legs.
The leading female savage stepped on the goat skull closest to the foot of the slope, raised her head and looked up the hillside, examining the figures in the deep forest.
Along the slope are densely packed goat skulls, arranged neatly. These are the sacrifice traces left by the ancestors of the Zhuoren tribe very early. Almost no mountain clan tribe in the Mingyue Mountains dares to set foot and disturb them.
Traces of black charcoal from the flames can be seen everywhere on this slope, extending high up the hillside in the deep forest.
The warrior behind the female savage looked at these burnt marks with some fear. The legend of the fire witch is still circulated among the mountain clans.
The figure in the deep forest on the hillside was rustling, and finally a voice came out, "Zira, the daughter of Zeke of the Black Ear tribe, this is the territory of the Burning Man tribe." The voice was strong and tight, and seemed a little angry.
"You have crossed the line and are here to challenge the 'Red Hand'?" A figure rushed out. The tall Burning Soldier warrior wore an elk skull on his head and stood like a ghost in the rustling forest.
Qi La raised her head, "I don't need to challenge the 'Red Hand', I can pick up the short man with one hand." She said with disdain, showing the two rows of uneven teeth in her mouth.
"If you don't come to compete, then you are surrendering and paying tribute. 'Red Hand' will be happy to sprinkle his seeds between the legs of Zeke's daughter. Are you here to sacrifice yourself?" The soldier from the Burning Division raised his mouth slightly and said to said the female wildling Zira.
"That depends on whether 'Red Hand' can enjoy this blessing." The female savage Zira licked the dagger in her hand and said with a chuckle.
As if hearing the call from behind, the soldiers of the Burning Man tribe shouted loudly to the soldiers of the Black Ear tribe below: "Speak out your purpose, otherwise you will all be burned to death!"
Zilla grinned like a wild cat facing a natural enemy, and said viciously: "Attis Arryn's iron can drove our Black Ear warriors back to the mountains. I need the help of 'Red Hand', and our Let’s go plunder the bastards who invaded our homeland.”
"We have contacted the Milk Snake Department and the Stone Crow Department, and hope that the Burning Man Department and the Painted Dog Department can participate." The voice of the female savage Zira echoed in the valley.
The soldiers of the Burning Man tribe withdrew from sight and returned to the deep forest. Then they walked out of the forest and stood in the sight of the Black Ear tribe soldiers, a one-eyed young man.
"'Red Hand' Timei, do you still have the guts to join me in killing the Andals who have invaded our homeland?" Zilla tilted her head with a smile on her face, "I guess you don't dare, Burning Man" Only timid people will be elected as 'red hands'"
"The timid and fearful Burning tribe has preserved the blood of the ancestors, and the warriors of the tribe did not die in a tragic massacre," Timei said slowly, "All the fools who wanted to go out to encircle Jon Arryn's son are left. How much? ”
An angry look appeared on Zira's face, but Timei, the 'Red Hand' on the mountain, kept talking.
"The Moon Tribe, which has the closest relationship with your Black Ear Tribe, has no men since then. Women can only be robbed to other tribes. Our Burning Tribe has also been given a lot. Your stupid father Zeke wants to help the stupid Moon Tribe." , he also died under the lance of the Valley Knight," Timei said sarcastically.
Zira angrily inserted the dagger into the goat's skull, "Timei the Red Hand, will you join us in resisting the invaders?"
Timei remained silent. He pointed to his one eye, "After I dedicated my eye to the fire, the 'Red Hand' was destined to be the enemy of the heretics of the Seven Gods." He turned around, "Tell me your plan, Burning The Ministry of Human Resources will help you, and if there is any loot, half of it will be given to us." He walked into the deep forest, and the figures in the deep forest disappeared without a trace. Zilla turned to look at the Black Ears warrior beside him, "Go to the Painting Dog Department. The 'Red Hand' has agreed to participate in the battle, and the Painting Dog Department will definitely follow."
The goat's skull leads to a hidden cave, hidden by dense forest.
When Timei walked into the cave, what he saw was a huge ferocious dragon hanging above the front of the cave. This was just the dragon's head exposed in front of the cave. Its fangs were exposed, and there seemed to be faint flames dancing in its throat.
Timei knelt in front of the huge dragon bone and prayed in a low voice. The fire witch painted with red paint sat cross-legged in front of the dragon bone, with a burning bonfire in front of her.
This fire witch is just an ordinary woman in the tribe, not the real fire witch who can control the dragon flames in the mural. The one in history has long been buried in a corner of the Mingyue Mountains and turned into bones.
The people of the Burning Man tribe will always elect a fire witch to serve as the object of worship.
The fire witch in front of him is his wife, just like the fire witch married the former "Red Hand", but at that time the Burning Man Club was just a branch of the Painting Dog Club.
"I will choose two hundred good men to go out with me and attack the Andal Attis Arryn who is hiding on the giant's gun." Timei looked at his wife and said to her.
The fire miko held the sharp spikes of the dragon bone in her hands, dipped them in red dye, and painted a bloody hand pattern that burned the human body on the smooth rock in front of her.
Timei nodded, "A good sign for fighting." He stood up and howled like an ape from his mouth.
Behind the huge and complete dragon body skeleton, many figures appeared. The soldiers of the Burning Tribe stood densely deep in the cave, looking at the howling "Red Hand" Timei, their war leader.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The Burning Warriors roared like beasts, and their cries filled the cave.
Attis flipped through the "Chronicles of the Valley" in his hand, a book written by Dr. Anel of the Citadel, which is used to chronicle the geography and humanities of the valley. It is said that he also consulted the bachelor of the Eyrie City at that time, and successfully obtained the title by relying on his eloquence and barbecue skills. Trusted by the Gaoshan clan, it is said that he brought many spices and seasonings for barbecue.
Most of these spices were provided by the Eagle's Nest City, but they contributed to the birth of a great book.
"During the coming-of-age ceremony of the Burning Man Club, they will burn off a certain part of their body. In most cases, it is the fingers and nipples. This is probably because the Burning Man Club has been actively expanding in the Mingyue Mountains and burning other parts will affect the battle. "Attis read the contents of the book softly.
"The more important the body parts that are burned off, the higher the reputation of the warrior. However, in the years I have lived in the Burning Man Division, I have not seen any Burning Man Warriors burn their own lifeblood." Attis said slightly. He raised his eyebrows and continued reading, "The 'Red Hand' of the Burning Man Division is a respectable warrior. He suspected that I leaked information about the robbery to the Valley Knights (I did leak it). Many people advised him to kill me, but considering Because I have served as a cook and guest for the Burning People for many years, he let me walk out of the Mingyue Mountains and returned to the Gate of the Moon safely.”
"Perhaps because I am an Andal or an outsider, they never let me get close to the center of power of the Burning Tribe. The 'Red Hand' and other Burning Tribe warriors live in a cave deep in the mountains. It is said that The place where the fire witch they worshiped once lived."
"There is no evidence that this fire witch is the dragon driver Nettle who escaped into the valley on the wild dragon 'Sheep Thief' during the 'Dance of the Blood Dragons', but according to my guess, it is very likely"
Attis frowned, Fire Witch, dragon?
