For the next few days, the escort team was very peaceful, without any major movement.
On the stone straight road, the invisible team headed straight south along the straight road. The rumbling footsteps shook the ground. From time to time, the shouts of the elf slaves, the scolding of the human warriors and the sound of whips could be heard.
In the past few days, Mo Shan and Mo Shui were very attentive and showed up in front of Ji Hao several times every day. They either brought drinks, barbecue, or fresh fruits collected by the soldiers of the Mo Yuan tribe from far away places. In short, they were as attentive as if Ji Hao was their biological father.
But no matter what they sent, Ji Hao accepted it in front of his face and burned everything behind his back.
Even the most innocent and ignorant Taisi noticed something strange. They subconsciously raised their vigilance and were cautious in everything they did. Besides, except for Feng Xing, they didn't know where they were hiding. No matter what the others were doing, All try to be together.
Another three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the march ahead suddenly slowed down.
Ji Hao did not expect the soldiers of the Black Ape Tribe to take the initiative to report the situation to him. He stepped into the sky on the fire cloud and looked forward. Smoke and dust rose into the sky ahead, and large herds of large animals were barking loudly and moving slowly across the straight road.
Ji Hao's face became gloomy. This straight stone road was built by the great wizards of the Witch Palace who spent their witchcraft power.
On weekdays, this straight road is buried deep underground to avoid damage to the stone slabs caused by rain, wind, sun and rain. Once a war breaks out, the great wizards of the Witch Palace will activate the witchcraft, and this straight road will rise from the ground, from Pusaka to Akasaka Mountain in the north. It is the most important troop transportation and logistics trunk road for the human tribe alliance, and is related to the frontline war. victory or defeat.
Therefore, around this straight path, the human race has established extremely strict rules:
During the war, no one is allowed to approach within five hundred miles on both sides of the straight road; any violation will be regarded as a foreign spy and will be executed.
Although the war has ceased, the elite legions of the human race are still stationed in Akasaka Mountain, monitoring the movements of the aliens in the north, lest they come back with a false shot and catch the human race by surprise.
So to be precise, although some small and medium-sized tribes who are not very elite warriors have begun to evacuate Akasaka Mountain, this war is not completely over. There will still be at least several months until the direct armies of Emperor Shun, Si Wenming, Hua Xulie and other core human race leaders begin a small-scale retreat before this war can truly end.
"Which tribe do those animals belong to? How dare they block the march?" Ji Hao scolded sternly.
No one paid any attention to Ji Hao. The soldiers of the Mo Yuan tribe stopped one by one and turned a blind eye. Some even jumped off their mounts and sat on the roadside to rest happily. Some even waved their long whips, ordering the soldiers and slaves to stop and rest their legs.
"Zhamu! Go and have a look!" Looking at these lazy Mo Yuan tribe warriors, Ji Hao sneered, and then started to drink.
A few days ago, the middle-aged servant Zhamu, who almost died at the hands of the soldiers of the Black Ape Tribe, and whose daughter was almost raped by these guys from the Black Monkey Tribe, made a promise, and fully armed, he took long strides and ran away after a few ups and downs. After walking for several miles, they quickly ran towards the place where the large group of livestock was passing in front.
Zhamu is the "Dark Tribe". The origin of this clan name may be related to the color of their skin.
The An tribe is a vassal group of the Yu tribe. The An tribe is an extremely important part of the Yu tribe's large formal legion. In a formal legion of the Yu tribe, more than 95% of the warriors are often members of the An tribe.
Overall, the combat talents of the Dark Tribe are far inferior to those of the Jia Tribe, but the racial qualifications of the Dark Tribe are also extraordinary. On average, one tribesman with superior qualifications will appear in every hundred people. After hard training, they can easily possess the Great Witch Realm. Even the strength of the Witch King realm. Among the dark tribe, there are even some wizard emperor level beings.
Zhamu is a great warrior of the Dark Tribe. Although the cultivation system of the Dark Tribe is different from that of the human race, he has the strength of the peak level of the Great Witch, and is only one step away from the level of the Witch King.
In the private army of the Qian clan, Zhamu is a captain of ten thousand men. Because they are a private army, Zhamu and his warriors have been stationed in the private territory of the Qian clan in the past, responsible for guarding the Qian clan's city, and have never fought against the human race.
In a sense, Zhamu and his soldiers have cleaner hands!
So that night, after Mo Shan and Mo Shui left with their men, Ji Hao, who felt deeply that he was short of men, simply paid for Zhamu, his soldiers, and their families according to the market price in Pusaka. They all bought out and became their own slave soldiers and private slaves.
In Akasaka Mountain, Ji Hao extorted a huge amount of wealth from the Emperor Shi clan, and with a large number of jade coins rewarded by Si Wenming, he easily bought out Zhamu and nearly 10,000 dark warriors under his command. Using the secret method of the Witch Palace to control the life and death of Zhamu and others, these people have become Ji Hao's most die-hard slaves.
As a captain of ten thousand men, Zhamu had enough experience, and he ran back quickly in a short time.
Kneeling heavily on his knees, Zhamu touched his forehead hard to the ground, and shouted with great respect: "Respected and kind master, there are several wandering human tribes passing by. There are eight tribes in total, with a total of 40,000 people. People from many ethnic groups raised millions of large animals for food.”
After taking a breath, Zhamu said in a deep voice: "According to what they said, all the grass in their original pasture has been eaten up, and they have to rush to the next pasture, otherwise their animals will lose weight. But you are despicable. Servant Zhamu thinks there is something wrong here."
"Huh? What's the problem?" Ji Hao stood on the chariot and casually placed a restraint to isolate the sound so that Zhamu's words would not be heard by outsiders.
"First, Zhamu also knows that this straight road is the main route of human war. The wandering human tribe is the most humble tribe in the human race. They have no power, let alone the courage, to cross this straight road during the war."
"Second, if it is really a wandering tribe, why are there only young men and women among their more than 40,000 tribesmen?"
"Thirdly, I found heavy armor, strong crossbows, long bows, and wandering tribes who were engaged in animal husbandry on the carts they were transporting supplies. They did not need heavy armor or long-range anti-personnel weapons. They, has a problem."
Although he saw the glimmer of light emitted by the sound-blocking ban, Zhamu still cautiously lowered his voice.
Ji Hao looked at Zhamu and was silent for a while, then took out a handful of jade coins and threw them in front of him.
"Well done, Zhamu, your experience can help me do a lot of things in the future. Work hard. With these jade coins, you can buy your daughter some new sets of nice-looking clothes."
"Call your men and prepare to arm yourself. Tonight, prepare to kill."
When Ji Hao mentioned the word 'kill', a fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
