- In just one morning, the army of the tribal alliance completed the occupation of the entire canyon.
In this operation, the tribal alliance troops suffered more than 110 casualties, and the pioneers suffered more than 300 casualties. The pioneers who were originally entrenched in the canyon were all driven out by the tribal alliance troops.
After expelling the pioneers in the canyon, the army of the tribal alliance set up checkpoints and forts at the strategic points at both ends of the canyon and at the entrance where underground ruins can be excavated, and began to send soldiers to garrison and patrol. Everything was decided just like that.
In just one morning, Zhang Tie witnessed with his own eyes the iron law of survival of the jungle in this era.
To the pioneers, the army of the tribal alliance was like robbers and bandits, but to the army of the tribal alliance, these pioneers were thieves. Zhang Tie discovered that because both sides had their own reasons, the reasons were all bullshit. , in the end, their fists and swords still spoke.
The Tribal Alliance has the hardest and strongest fist, so what the Tribal Alliance says is the rule here.
¡¡
At noon, the sun was hanging high in the sky. Zhang Tie was riding on a rhinoceros horse. At the east entrance of the canyon, he watched several warriors from the tribal alliance erect a huge wooden bulletin board at the entrance of the canyon.
¡ª¡ªThis place is now under the jurisdiction of the Southern Tribal Alliance Army in the Ice and Snow Wasteland.
¡ª¡ªWe welcome all pioneers to explore underground ruins and hunt for treasure.
¡ª¡ªWe will impose a 50% relic excavation tax on all income earned by pioneers from underground ruins. At the same time, we will ensure the personal and property safety of taxpayers in the ice and snow wilderness.
There are only three sentences on the bulletin board. The wooden bulletin board is new, and the writing is bright red and eye-catching. It was written with the blood of the pioneers who had their heads cut off. Just a few meters next to the public sign, hundreds of pioneer heads were piled together, forming a sharp contrast with the bulletin board.
Relics excavation tax? Heck, when will these guys who are almost half barbarians in the ice and snow wasteland collect taxes?
"Those who are incompetent have to use knives and guns to rob, but those who have the ability only need to collect taxes to rob. This is what Tang De once said to Zhang Tie. Looking at that ridiculous bulletin board at this moment, Zhang Tie finally understood that the so-called tax collection is, in many cases, just another way of saying robbery. The only difference between the two is that this way of saying it looks more civilized. That¡¯s all. And it also took care of the fragile self-esteem of the person being robbed.
Behind him, there was the sound of the rhino cavalry's hooves. Zhang Tie turned around and saw Sabrina rushing over from the canyon with a group of more than 200 female cavalrymen.
Sabrina was wearing the same purple leather armor that Zhang Tie was wearing when he first saw her, and her black hair was flying up and down in the light leaps of the saber-toothed beast, looking infinitely energetic.
Seeing Zhang Tie stop here, a smile appeared on Sabrina's face. He led the team of women's soldiers and rushed towards Zhang Tie, then stopped in front of Zhang Tie.
The rhinoceros on Zhang Tie's crotch seemed a little afraid of the saber-toothed beast on Sabrina's crotch. When he saw the saber-toothed beast approaching, he couldn't help shaking his head and taking two steps back to the side.
"The people from the Gray Eagle Tribe said you were out, and you are indeed here!" Sabrina's voice contained a hint of happiness that could not be concealed.
"What? Are you looking for me?" Zhang Tie asked her.
"It's so boring here. I heard that you are going to hunt giant wolves. Why don't we go together? It will just add some meat to the tribe. Gangula said that everyone may stay here longer than expected because there is not enough dry food. We can only think of a way by ourselves. It is estimated that each tribe will send hunting teams out to hunt every day, so we can take the first step!"
Looking at the group of women's soldiers behind Sabrina, Zhang Tie knew that Sabrina's hunting was fake, and taking the opportunity to go out to play was real. If the wild bear tribe relied on these women's soldiers for their food rations, it is estimated that all the wild bears would be killed in two weeks. The warriors of the tribe are going to eat grass roots.
But that¡¯s okay, it doesn¡¯t conflict with the purpose of coming here. If you go out with this group of women¡¯s soldiers, no matter what you do, you won¡¯t be so conspicuous.
"Is that all you want? You know, the pioneers are still gathering outside the canyon!"
"Don't you have me as a bodyguard? And don't underestimate me. I am already a level 7 warrior this year!" Sabrina said proudly with her chest raised.
Thinking of the scene when he saw this mermaid swimming in the river, Zhang Tie secretly stared at Sabrina's two white rabbits, swallowed quietly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay then. , but you have to listen to me where you want to go!¡±
"No problem, but are you familiar with the surrounding environment?"??It would be better to take us around for a long time without catching any prey! "Sabrina rolled her eyes at Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie smiled and just raised his arm. A few seconds later, the sound of flapping bird wings came from the air. 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 about it?" Zhang Tie said slightly proudly.
¡°The white owl is so beautiful!¡±
"With it here, you don't have to worry about finding prey now!" Zhang Tie said, touched the owl's head, and gave the owl a command. As soon as he raised his arm, the owl flew up. After flying to an altitude of more than 100 meters, it hovered in the sky for a while, and then flew in one direction.
"Drive" Zhang Tie shook the rhino's reins and rushed out with the owl.
Looking at Zhang Tie's back, Sabrina's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then she shook the reins. The saber-toothed beast also rushed out with Zhang Tie, and the cavalry of the Detachment of Women's Army behind them quickly followed.
In the sky, the owl is not a creature known for its eyesight, but in any case, the eyesight of this creature is much stronger than that of humans. Put it in the sky. It's basically like placing an active sentinel in the sky, and this owl also 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 owl's entire face is a radar that receives sound. In winter, this kind of thing can even hear mice one kilometer away. The sound of movement under the snowdrift can be accurately located.
This knowledge was also discovered by Zhang Tie in the process of slowly getting in touch with his pet owl these days. The seal of the great wilderness is between the owl and him. A mysterious connection was established, through which Zhang Tie could slowly perceive some of the strange abilities possessed by this animal. This is also the power of the Great Wilderness Sutra.
Before this, Zhang Tie had no idea that the pet owl he had conquered in the ice and snow wasteland had such a powerful ability.
Therefore, although this owl is of low level, it is the best sentinel and investigator for Zhang Tie at this moment.
¡¡
Less than a kilometer out of the canyon, Zhang Tie discovered a problem. Whenever Sabrina rides her mount close to him, the rhinoceros under his crotch can't help but want to retreat. It seems that it doesn't dare to get too close to Sabrina's mount. This makes Zhang Tie very depressed. , correct the direction and speed of the rhino under your crotch at any time.
Seeing this situation, Sabrina giggled. "This saber-toothed beast is the best and most powerful mount in the ice and snow wasteland. Many animals are a little afraid of it. If it weren't for the relationship between this thing and the rider that needs to be cultivated since childhood to let you drive it, I would give it to you now. A saber-toothed beast got it!"
I thought that the cousin Nurdo who met Aurora for the first time also rode such a saber-toothed beast coquettishly. Zhang Tie immediately became interested in this animal.
"Was this saber-toothed beast captured in the wild? Why haven't I seen this kind of animal in the wild during my time 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 areas of the ice and snow wasteland. Only the ice giant bear tribe has mastered the method of capturing and taming this powerful creature. Our sword The saber-toothed beasts are all purchased from the ice giant bear tribe" 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, that was a gift from my father on my seventh birthday!¡±
Zhang Tie looked at the huge guy. Unexpectedly, this guy was already in his twenties. Judging from the performance, this thing seemed to have a lifespan much longer than that of a horse. A horse reaches the age of more than 20 years. He must have entered old age, but this guy's lifespan is still very much alive.
"This animal has a long lifespan?"
"Of course, saber-toothed beasts are standard sixth-level creatures. The lifespan of an ordinary saber-toothed beast 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 violent bear warrior is to own a saber-toothed beast. Sabre-toothed beasts serve as their own mounts and partners. In battle, the same number of saber-toothed cavalry can easily defeat more than three times the number of other cavalry, and the endurance and speed of saber-toothed beasts can almost become human mounts on a large scale. Ranked among the top three animals, it is not difficult at all to travel thousands of miles overnight!¡±
Sabrina¡¯s introduction made Zhang Tie secretly jealousI was shocked. This kind of animal is simply a naturally powerful mount. If it can be equipped on a large scale, it will be a biological tank on the battlefield. Moreover, looking at the size of the saber-toothed beast and the ease of running, it will give this animal If you plant something and equip it with a mount armor with high protection, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Has the Wild Bear Tribe formed a saber-tooth cavalry?"
Sabrina rolled her eyes at Zhang Tie, "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 one is too high. , a saber-toothed beast has to eat at least 20 kilograms of meat every day since it is three years old. This is not a small amount of money. The entire wild bear tribe only has a cavalry team of 400 saber-toothed beasts. Led by my father, he is the personal guard of the tribe leader. In the entire ice and snow wasteland, only the Ice Bear Tribe maintains a knights of the king with a number of about 5,000 people and saber-toothed beasts as mounts, guarding us Slavs. Holy Temple.¡±
"Knights of the King?" This special name made Zhang Tieju feel a little strange.
"That's a group of lunatics, guarding a strange prophecy from generation to generation, paranoid people who live completely in their own fantasies. You have already seen two such lunatics and paranoid people!" Sabrina said with some waning interest. .
Zhang Tie's heart moved, "Roslav and Wajid?"
"It's not about who else they are. They came to the Giant Bear Tribe this time to tell my father that the prophecy they were guarding that had existed for hundreds of years was about to come true. The king of the Slavs who unified the ice and snow wasteland had arrived. Let the wild bear tribe prepare to welcome the king!" When she said the next part, Sabrina's tone already contained a hint of sneer.
"There can't be any conspiracy in this, right?" Zhang Tie blurted out at once, because in the history of mankind, there have been too many instances of creating an idol and a puppet to command the princes. Zhang Tie instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this. There are too many possibilities for manipulation, and human ambition and greed are the most difficult to fathom.
"Now all the bear-level tribes in the ice and snow wasteland are kings and hegemons of one side. They have been separated for a long time. How can they be reunited so easily? Go to the Erqida Mountain and listen to a guy who doesn't know anyone. Put that guy "This guy holds 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 during this period and get ready. If the Ice Bear Tribe really came up with such a guy, my father wanted to send my younger sisters over with him. No matter which guy is real or fake, let¡¯s be that guy¡¯s father-in-law first!¡±
Zhang Tie rolled his eyes after hearing this. These old guys are smarter than monkeys. Faced with this kind of thing, they have no actual promises. Instead, they all plan to recognize a son directly and become invincible first. Damn it, it¡¯s not easy to find a few fools in this world.
But when he thought of the two guys Roslav and Wajid from the Ice Bear, looking at him with sneaky eyes, Zhang Tie's mood suddenly improved again. Who cares, evil people will have their own trials, as long as Just keep those weird guys away from you.
"Your father has no vision. If I were your father, it would be enough to marry you alone. With your ability, you can definitely dazzle the man who is going to be the king of the Slavs in the bullshit prophecy! "Zhang Tie laughed and joked with Sabrina.
Sabrina also laughed, and then suddenly pointed to the sky in the distance, "Look, your owl is hovering there, what does it mean!"
The owl was circling the figure of eight in the distant sky. As soon as he saw the figure of eight, Zhang Tie burst out laughing, "Ha ha the prey is right in front"
"Are you coming over? My Lili is more than enough for two people!" Sabrina glanced at Zhang Tie.
Without saying a word, Zhang Tie jumped up from the rhino horse underneath him, jumped several meters across the space, and jumped behind Sabrina. Amidst Sabrina's exclamations, he hugged her tightly with both hands. He grabbed Sabrina's slender waist and kissed Sabrina on the face.
"Run, my little mare!"
"You little bastard!" Sabrina cursed, shaking the reins in her hand, and the saber-toothed beast ran in the direction pointed by the owl
After running a few steps, Zhang Tie¡¯s strange hands on her waist climbed up from under her leather armor - Didn't finish reading?
