Upon hearing Zhong Yu's order, the soldiers in front of the high priest all made way for a person to pass, allowing the high priest to pass through this man-made road and come to Zhong Yu.
The high priest saw that only one person could pass on the road in front of him, and signaled An Ji to stay. He walked alone through that road and came to Zhong Yu.
When he was five steps in front of Zhong Yu, the high priest was stopped by the knights wearing full armor, who told him to just sit here and talk, and not to take another step forward.
After all, this is a place with extraordinary power. Who knows if he gets too close, he will become malicious and get up to hurt others
"Great and noble strong man, you used your power to make my tribe afraid. Now, the people of the tribe heard that the army led by you, the noble one, came to our tribe and wanted to use force. Everyone was afraid. Continuously, women have no time to pick wild vegetables, men have no time to hunt wild animals, and children have no time to play with each other. This is all because of your majesty. Now, our tribesmen have no time to think about it because of the previous I am extremely frightened by your offense. I am hereby sent, as an old man, as the high priest of this tribe, to ask for your forgiveness. If I have done anything disrespectful, I hope that you, the merciful one, can forgive me!" The high priest came to Zhong Yu, knelt down slowly, and knocked his old and fragile head heavily on the cold and hard earth.
"I understand what you mean. Your previous offense was because you did not know my majesty and did not feel my kindness. Now, if you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, change your past, and bathe in my kingly power, I will naturally I will not shirk those people who are devout and longing for the light. Get up, how can you let an elder kneel on the ground for a long time? I have decided to forgive your people, incorporate them into my command, serve me, and Come here to wash away their past sins!" Seeing the high priest's very respectful and frightened performance, Zhong Yu did not want to embarrass him too much, so as not to arouse the anger of the Mengla tribe. Moreover, Zhong Yu was also very happy and satisfied to be able to capture such a tribe of hundreds of people without spending a single soldier!
Afterwards, after receiving the affirmation and commitment from Zhongyu, the high priest's face was filled with joy and an expression of narrowly escaping from death.
He stood up obediently and respectfully offered his resignation to Zhong Yu. He expressed that he wanted to go back to the tribe, calm people's hearts, open the gate, welcome Zhong Yu's army, enter the tribe, and accept the worship of the tribe's people.
Seeing that the high priest came back safe and sound, several elders were obviously very happy. Especially the Great Elder, who originally thought that his fate of death had been changed, was filled with excitement, and he patted his chest happily and said:
"Don't worry, High Priest, as long as I am here, those tribesmen will not dare to resist. If they can get a chance to live, they will have to thank the lord outside in front of the ancestor god." "
I heard that the great elder was so eager for quick success and wanted to betray his tribe in front of outsiders to gain a chance to survive. Although the second elder was also doing this kind of thing, he didn't show it too much after all. Seeing the first elder's appearance, he couldn't help but snorted.
Hearing the second elder's hum, the first elder didn't care, and then said to the high priest. "High Priest, my subordinates are going to summon the warriors who are loyal to me and ask them to gather all the tribesmen, open the gate, and come to greet the warriors from the tribe outside, so that they can feel the loyalty and sincerity of our tribe."
Then he walked down the wall of the tribe's camp and came to the tribe's sacrificial platform. He asked his son to take three warriors loyal to him to recruit all the tribesmen.
After a while, all the tribesmen were gathered together by him, including the few remaining warriors of the tribe. After the consumption of previous internal fighting and wars, it is unknown that now there are only 98 people left, and there are even fewer soldiers, only 12 left. Many of them were frightened warriors who had escaped from the battlefield before.
This is also the reason why the high priest can't think of fighting with the tribes outside. It's not that he doesn't want to fight, but that he really can't fight and can't win!
Afterwards, under the expressions of the high priest, full of sorrow, and the second elder, full of helplessness and anger, the gate of the tribe slowly opened. Under the leadership of the high priest, all the tribesmen walked out of the gate. Divide into two groups and kneel on both sides of the avenue in front of the tribe.
Their foreheads were pressed tightly against the thick earth. The cold and sharp pain made their minds very clear. The cold feeling washed through their thoughts wave after wave, reminding them that they were defeated and defeated. The prisoners' consciousness can further reveal this cruel and helpless reality to them.
Only the high priest knelt in front of all the tribesmen, kneeling in the center. He held the cane in his hand, which symbolized the authority of the tribe leader, and raised it with both hands. He knelt there motionless, waiting. Zhong Yu came to receive it and took away the artifact that symbolized the authority of the clan leader from his hand, and also took away the glory and dignity of their clan for hundreds of years.
Under the shouts and restraints of their commanders, the young and strong soldiers quickly poured into the tribal camp. Then 100 people were divided into two rows and stood in front of all the unknown people. With the weapons in their hands, they separated them from the road in front of them, in case any of them could not think of it and acted as assassins to endanger the people. Zhong Yu’s life.
Under the protection of the guards, Zhong Yu slowly came to the gate of the camp. In front of him were four knights, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts and served as captains of ten in the army. The position and strength are probably at the first level.
The knights stopped in front of the high priest, and at Zhong Yu's signal, ordered the high priest to hand over the scepter in his hand.
The high priest smiled bitterly, with a helpless smile on his face. He could only let go of the small thoughts in his heart that he shouldn't have. Originally, he planned to fight to the death when Dong Yu reached out to pick up the scepter. He sacrificed his blood to summon the power of the ancestral gods, and took a risk to kill Zhong Yu with one blow in exchange for the chance for the tribe to continue.
Even if his tribe suffered heavy losses due to those angry soldiers, it was still worth it. I believe that there will always be some people who can escape and reorganize their tribes outside, and they can also take revenge on the person who killed so many precious warriors of their tribe.
Have you mentally given up on this unknown plan? The great elder obediently handed the scepter in his hand to the knight, then slowly stood up and arched his body. Slowly retreated to both sides of the road.
Seeing the knight's unreasonable behavior and Zhong Yu's behavior towards their tribe, all the tribesmen felt very angry. However, thinking about the strength gap between their tribe and those armies, they still did not say anything and put their hearts in their hearts. His emotions were suppressed in his heart, preventing him from showing them.
Losers do not dare to resist pointlessly, so they can only obey silently. This is the wise saying of the weak seeking survival opportunities since ancient times.
Afterwards, Zhong Yu's troops slowly entered the tribe, counted all the tribe's population and wealth, and enjoyed the glory and power that belonged to the victor.
