On the fifth day after the pioneering group set off from Matou Bay, when the first colonial camp established in Matou Bay was still about a day away, the attack from the Blood Raven tribe arrived as scheduled when they set up camp in the evening. They chose The timing of the attack was very clever, but when the camp was half set up and many people were busy arranging their belongings, they suddenly rushed out of the jungle to launch the attack.
Unlike the native tribes that colonists often saw, the weapons used by the Blood Raven tribe were not wooden spears and stone axes, but real iron spears and iron axes. They even wore iron armor and held wooden shields. Moreover, when they attacked, they didn’t let out a strange cry like other indigenous tribes, and then rushed forward with a wave of weapons. Instead, they were led by archers, in groups of ten, holding wooden shields, and entered the pioneering area in cooperation with each other. In the regiment’s security circle.
For the attack of the Blood Crow Tribe, the generals of the Pioneering Regiment had expected it and made preparations to prevent the attack. Although at the beginning, the timing of the attack of the Blood Crow Tribe was chosen very suddenly, and the attack point was placed on the Pioneering Regiment’s side. The novice was caught off guard, but soon the officers of the pioneering regiment led the veterans to support them and blocked the attack.
When the pioneering group was established, it was declared to be a novice pioneering group, and it was true that Matouwan openly recruited newcomers, but in fact, the core of the pioneering group was still composed of about 1,000 experienced veterans, The generals and officers of the regiment are also old people who have rich experience in developing colonies and fighting with indigenous tribes, so their preparations for possible attacks are far more meticulous than ordinary pioneering regiments.
When they saw the human skin totem of the Blood Raven Tribe a few days ago, they had already expected to be attacked just like Joe Matthew, but they didn’t know the situation of the Blood Raven Tribe, they just thought it was a normal attack. The indigenous tribes intimidated them, so even though they were prepared to deal with various attacks, they did not pay special attention to it.
When the Blood Crow Tribe launched an attack, the first to bear the brunt were the rookie pioneer fighters who were in charge of guarding the periphery. Dozens of rookie fighters were killed by hundreds of Blood Crow Tribe fighters just for a little warning. Their early warning did indeed play a role, allowing the soldiers of the Pioneering Regiment responsible for the safety of the convoy to respond in a timely manner and take up weapons to resist.
However, these fighters were still only novice fighters, and they were not yet dominant in number, so they were quickly defeated. Fortunately, the slave caravan fighters who traveled with the pioneering group joined in and barely resisted the attack. The veterans of the pioneering regiment also rushed to support after hearing the movement, and together they left this group of hundreds of blood crow tribe fighters in the pioneering regiment camp.
This attack came suddenly and ended very quickly. It ended in less than half an hour. All members of the Blood Raven Tribe did not escape. Even after the battle, the last person still did not surrender. , the number of casualties of the pioneering group was very large, 712 people were killed, and more than 500 people were injured, of which 211 people were seriously injured and disabled, and their lives might even be in danger. Among the casualties Among them, the vast majority are newcomers to the pioneering group, only more than 50 soldiers from the slave caravan, and the remaining more than 100 people are veterans of the pioneering group.
Such huge casualties made the experienced generals and officers of the Pioneering Regiment somewhat unexpected. They found that the indigenous tribes that attacked the Pioneering Regiment this time were completely different from the indigenous tribes they had seen before. It is reflected in the weapons and equipment and fighting methods, and it is more reflected in the fighting will of these attackers who are not afraid of death. According to the statements of those who participated in the battle, each of these indigenous tribes is like a lunatic, not afraid of attack at all, as if It’s like not feeling the pain on the body. Some soldiers can even swing their weapons and attack nearby enemies even when their necks are cut off. Facing such enemies, even if they have an absolute advantage in numbers, they still cannot reduce casualties.
It is precisely because of such disparity in casualties that the generals and officers of the pioneering group began to pay attention to this unknown indigenous tribe. While preserving the bodies of these indigenous people and recording the battle, they looked for people who knew the tribe so that they could meet again in the future. When the Blood Raven Tribe, there is enough intelligence to formulate a countermeasure.
However, almost none of the consultants of the pioneering group knew the origin of this indigenous tribe. Only one slave trader said that he had seen an aborigine holding metal weapons and wearing armor in an indigenous tribe, but he was not sure whether it was the attack This tribe of the pioneering group, and he didn’t know much about the native, but he knew that the status of the native was very high, higher than that of the chief of the local indigenous tribe.
However, what is interesting about Joe Matthew is that as the only person who knows the details of the Blood Raven Tribe, no officer from the pioneering regiment came to ask him about the Blood Raven Tribe from the beginning to the end. It seems that these officers know some bad things about Joe. Fame, subconsciously think that Joe will only fabricate some lies, it is impossible to know any useful intelligence information, and Joe also did not take the initiative to tell the pioneers what he knew, except that he felt that even if he told the pioneers. Other than people believing his words, there may be one reason, that is, his identity is very special. He may be with the Blood Crow tribe. This is the secret that Leo discovered when the pioneering group was attacked.
The attack point chosen by the Blood Raven Tribe happened to be the convoy that Leo was in to deliver daily supplies. Because the supplies they transported were not particularly important, this convoy was incorporated into the end of the convoy of the Pioneering Group. Following the merchant convoy, the people protecting this convoy are all newcomers to the Pioneering Group, so the attack on this convoy was also expected by Leo, and he already knew that he was hiding in the jungle before the Blood Crow tribe launched an attack. The position and number of Blood Crow Tribal fighters in the car were cleared, but he didn’t warn the police, he just retreated to the back of the convoy, avoiding the attack that might fall on him.
However, even though he moved to the other side where the convoy would not be attacked, his attention did not move away, but was still on the convoy, like a bystander, watching the short and intense battle fight.
During this period of time as a bystander, he saw Joe hiding under the carriage before the Blood Raven tribe attacked. This was not because Joe had a premonition, but because he used Some kind of signal bird whistle conveyed the signal, and Joe seemed to understand the meaning of each sound of this bird whistle.
Afterwards, several fighters from the blood crow tribe that launched the attack found Joe hiding under the carriage, but before they were about to attack Joe, Joe made a few gestures to them, and the blood crow fighters stopped immediately , to attack others.
Seeing this scene, Leo’s first thought was that Joe might be the insider of the Blood Crow tribe. Of course, this guess is not absolute, because Joe may also have some kind of relationship with the more powerful Paho tribe. In this way, he mastered some methods to obtain a certain identity in the tribes of the Paho tribe, such as the special gesture. Of course, this needs to be verified before there can be an answer.
In addition, the performance of these warriors of the Blood Crow Tribe in the battle also attracted Leo’s attention. It is indeed risking life and death, even if the head is cut off, the body will swing the weapon according to the muscular instinct and attack any objects around it. This situation is obviously not the state that a normal fighter should have.
At first, Leo thought that the warriors of the Blood Raven tribe might have been blessed by some kind of shaman power. After all, he already knew that the Pahuo tribe must have people who had mastered the supernatural knowledge of the shaman, and it was imposed on the warriors of the Blood Raven tribe. The shaman power is not necessarily extraordinary power, it is more likely to be some kind of shaman potion. You must know that the potion knowledge mastered by shamanism is not much worse than that of wizards. They are refined from ordinary herbs without using any supernatural power. There are also many medicines that can achieve the effect of extraordinary medicines, and Leo knows many ways to make such medicines.
As long as this shaman potion is used, it can make ordinary people forget the pain on their bodies, become infinitely powerful, and not be afraid of death.
So that night, he sneaked into the camp where the corpses of the blood crow warriors were stored, took some organs and body tissues, and then returned to his tent for testing.
The final result not only surprised Leo, but also made him feel reasonable. The warriors of these blood crow tribes didn’t take any shaman potions. The reason why they became so reckless, even if their heads were cut off, they could still fight for a while was mainly because they were implanted with parasites. It’s like Daman in Matou Bay, but the parasites on them are different from the parasites on Daman.
The parasites on Daman’s body are mainly parasitic on the surface of the skin, and then secrete some kind of liquid to cause the body of the parasite to mutate, but the parasites of the blood crow tribe are all concentrated in their kidneys, and these parasites can secrete similar Exciting substances such as adrenaline stimulate the host into an extremely excited state, and as long as this stimulation does not exceed a certain limit, it will not cause harm to the host.
Although they are two completely different parasites, it is not difficult to see from other details that these two parasites use the same method to implant parasites, which means that the Paho people may also use this parasite to control blood. Crow tribe, and such mature methods of using parasites all show that the shaman spells mastered by the Paho tribe are probably all insect-based.
At night, Joe suddenly came to Leo’s tent and asked if he could have a talk. Leo didn’t clear up the organ tissues and testing tools on the table, and let Joe come in directly.
After Joe entered the tent, he saw the organs and tools illuminated by the oil lamp on the simple table at a glance. The expression on his face changed slightly, and then he quickly returned to normal. He then asked Leo very directly: “The attack?” You saw it all the time, right?”
This question was asked without thinking, but Leo knew what he was asking. He sat on the chair and asked with a smile: “What did I see? The inhuman combat power of those blood crow warriors? The person who should have been killed by the blood crow warriors survived with just a few hand gestures?”
】
“You did see it.” Joe frowned, and asked in a deep voice, “Why didn’t you expose me?”
“Why should I expose you?” Leo smiled again, asked a question, and then reminded: “I am from Belente, and this is the pioneer group of the colony of the Kingdom of Root.”
Qiao was stunned when he heard the words, then stared at Leo, and said in a deep voice: “No, you are not from Berente, many of your habits are completely different from the real Berente, you cannot be Berente people.”
Leo asked again: “Then who do you think I am?”
“I don’t know,” Joe said, shaking his head, “but I know it’s afraid of you, and it doesn’t dare to make any unnecessary movements when it’s by your side.”
“It?” Leo froze for a moment, then seemed to think of something, looked Joe up and down, and said in a deep voice, “Do you have a parasite implanted by the Paho tribe?”
Joe didn’t admit it, but he didn’t deny it either, and his silence was the best answer.
Leo guessed again: “Shouldn’t you be forced to implant parasites?”
“Why not forced?” Joe looked at Leo with interest.
“Because you agree with that supremacy theory very much, and the Pahuo tribe also has a similar doctrine, so you should be very appreciative of the Pahuo tribe.” Leo analyzed it, and then said a little abruptly: “You are burned by fire. descendants of Kivir?”
Leo’s deduction made Joe stunned, his eyes were full of surprises, obviously he didn’t expect that Leo would link him with the aforementioned Kivir.
Soon he recovered from his surprise, and asked, “Why do you guess that I have something to do with Keviel?”
“I think you two should be related. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com” Leo Hanhu responded.
Joe smiled, nodded, and said: “Your feeling is not wrong, I am indeed a descendant of Kevier, and I said before that Kevier was actually the first person to come to the New World, and obtained the Supreme Theory from the New World It’s also a fact, but even if I tell this fact, no one will believe it, after all, I’m a big talker.”
After finishing speaking, Qiao smiled wryly, as if he also felt a little helpless about his reputation.
“How is it possible?” Leo said in a deep voice: “The sea was still blocked by the gray fog in the time when Kevier lived, and anyone who entered the gray fog could not come out again. How did Kevier pass through the gray fog? Came to the New World?”
Joe had no intention of hiding anything, and after seeing Leo ask this key question, he said directly: “It’s very simple, as long as you don’t pass through the gray fog on the sea.”
“Don’t pass through the gray fog?” Leo hesitated for a moment, but soon thought of something again, and said in a deep voice, “The underground mine of Miret’s disaster.”
