Chapter 75 Summoning, Success!
The four Guiyi tribes, including the Na Duo tribe, were located in the four directions of the oasis: east, south, west, and north. The Na Duo tribe was located in the north of the oasis, at the foot of Yin Mountain.
After a century of strategic suppression, even the puppet troops could muster a "spirit."
Especially in the last twenty years, the barbarians had hardly organized a counter-offensive against the Marquis's mansion, which had made the tribesmen of the Na Duo tribe become lax.
As for the "Young Chieftain" of the Na Duo tribe, Na Duo Jiayang, he only controlled less than a thousand of his confidants to guard a pasture within the tribe. He did not publicize this matter, so the outer defenses of the Na Duo tribe were as poor as ever.
The sentry riders sent out by the tribe at night, according to their habit, would find a leeward place to huddle in, wrap themselves in sheepskin coats, take a few sips of mare's milk wine, and then dream of the barbarian god.
Therefore, when the other three great Guiyi tribes, with nearly twenty thousand troops, approached the outer perimeter of the Na Duo tribe, there was still no reaction within the Na Duo tribe.
What followed was no surprise.
Everyone removed the bits from the warhorses' mouths and the cloth wrappings from their hooves, and raised their sabers.
The three chieftains stood at the forefront.
They exchanged glances.
They all knew clearly in their hearts that after tonight, there would only be three of the four great Guiyi tribes left.
It was naturally impossible for them not to feel some sense of unease, as they all had family ties with the Na Duo tribe through marriages.
But they had no choice.
The iron cavalry of the Zhenbei Army was already watching them with fierce eyes from the outside, and the old matriarch was personally supervising the battle. The three of them had no way to retreat.
The three chieftains raised their sabers together,
And swung them down in unison:
"Kill!"
"Boom!"
Ten thousand horses began to gallop, and the warriors of the three tribes emitted piercing howls of excitement.
They didn't have as many thoughts as the chieftains; they only knew that tonight, everything of the Na Duo tribe would belong to them!
It was just a pity that the chieftain's order specifically forbade taking prisoners. What a pity, the Na Duo tribe had many good wives.
The sound of galloping warhorses was like rolling thunder, awakening the entire Na Duo tribe.
Their defenses were lax, but that didn't mean there weren't brave and skilled warriors within the tribe. Many people realized what was happening as soon as they opened their eyes.
Their tribe was under attack for the first time in nearly twenty years.
Some grabbed their swords, others went to fetch their warhorses, displaying extremely good qualities.
But this quality could not play a decisive role in the face of the sudden sneak attack by the three tribes.
At this moment, when the elder of the Na Duo tribe, Na Duo Anli, hurriedly lifted the tent flap and rushed into the chieftain's tent,
He was stunned to find that,
Under such thunderous noise,
The chieftain was still lying on the bed, snoring loudly.
Beside the bed, a woman was curled up, trembling. Obviously, she also felt the changes that were happening outside.
Looking at the snoring chieftain and then at the young chieftain's newly acquired concubine,
Grand Elder Na Duo Anli grinned,
And laughed,
Laughing very sadly.
He knew,
The Na Duo tribe,
Was finished,
Finished!
The fences and barracks of the Na Duo tribe could not stop the cavalry's charge at all. Soon, the three tribes' cavalry charged into the Na Duo tribe's camp from three directions.
For a hundred years,
They had served as hunting dogs under the command of the Marquis of Zhenbei, repeatedly tearing at their compatriots;
Now, they began to kill each other!
Under the kill order, any living members of the Na Duo tribe were their hunting targets, and not a single one would be let go.
This was not a merger, nor a struggle for pastures, this was… extermination!
With one sentence from the old matriarch,
Tonight,
A tribe with tens of thousands of people would be wiped out.
The desert wind and sand would blow away all traces of their existence.
The cries of children, the screams of women, and the roars of men were the main melody tonight.
They were already suffering a sudden night attack, and without the chieftain's command, the Na Duo tribe was as fragile as a piece of thin paper. The various resistance groups that were hastily organized after the surprise attack were quickly annihilated in the wave of the three tribes' cavalry advance.
"Young Chieftain!"
"Young Chieftain, they're attacking, they're attacking!"
A Na Duo tribe warrior, covered in blood, hurriedly ran here and found Na Duo Jiayang, kneeling at his feet and crying.
Death, death, the Na Duo tribe's people were dying crazily under the butcher's knife...
"Who is it, who is attacking us?" Na Duo Jiayang grabbed the tribesman who had collapsed in front of him and roared.
His location was in an open area south of the tribe, so he did not suffer the surprise attack by the three tribes' cavalry at the first moment, but he had already seen the fire at the tribe's gathering place and heard the screams that felt like his heart was being dug out.
"It's the Amo tribe, the Gulun tribe, and the Caika tribe, they launched an attack on us!"
"How is it possible, how is it possible, how dare they, how dare they!
Are they not afraid of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion's blame!"
This young chieftain, this descendant of the barbarian god, actually shouted such a sentence at this time.
"Impossible, impossible, impossible..."
Na Duo Jiayang had completely lost his composure, and the nearly thousand elite warriors he had brought gathered around him. Some shouted to rush back to drive out the invaders and avenge their tribesmen, while others were more rational. They naturally knew that the current situation was irreversible. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that the three tribes' cavalry had not yet arrived here and break out first, preserving the Na Duo tribe's seed.
Na Duo Jiayang stood there dazedly, his heart was in chaos, he didn't know what he should do, and he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.
Finally, his gaze fell in the direction of the tent. He swallowed and rushed to the tent door, lifting the curtain.
Inside the tent,
The Great Shaman had just finished chanting the last sentence.
The ancient jade-colored scepter turned crimson and floated up, falling into his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the Great Shaman turned around and saw Na Duo Jiayang standing at the tent entrance.
"Great Shaman, the three tribes have launched a surprise attack on our tribe, I... I... I..."
The Great Shaman took a deep breath. When he was casting the spell just now, he had naturally heard the movements outside, but fortunately, the entire summoning process had been completed. Shatuo Queshi's corpse would "awaken" and then rush back to the royal court.
"Jiayang, I know. Don't worry, the barbarian god will not mistreat his loyal people. Now, gather all the warriors under your command, we will break out first.
After returning to the royal court, I will recommend you to be the Grand Protector and help you rebuild the Na Duo tribe!"
Na Duo Jiayang's pale face gained a little color upon hearing this, and he immediately agreed.
The fighting at the Na Duo tribe's gathering place was intensifying, and on this side, nearly a thousand Na Duo warriors, led by their young chieftain, mounted their warhorses one after another.
"Warriors of the Na Duo tribe, I, Na Duo Jiayang, swear here that one day, I will lead you back and return blood and fire to these three tribes. The barbarian god is above, they will lead the Na Duo tribe's tribesmen who died tonight back to the source of the Ganges, our homeland!"
Some of the nearly thousand warriors were weeping, some were gritting their teeth, and some were indignant, but at this time, they could only lower their heads and choose to follow their young chieftain to escort the ten or so shamans away.
The warhorses began to gallop. Taking advantage of the fact that the three tribes' men were still slaughtering in the tribe, Na Duo Jiayang successfully led his thousand cavalry to gallop dozens of miles.
However,
Just then,
On the hill in front,
Torches suddenly lit up,
"Woo..."
"Woo..."
The desolate bugle sounded.
Black-armored cavalrymen began to appear in front.
This was,
The Zhenbei Army!
At this moment, a strong haze rose in Na Duo Jiayang's heart. He immediately said to his confidant beside him:
"Quickly tell the Great Shaman that Zhenbei Army cavalry has appeared ahead!"
The confidant immediately whipped his horse back, but before long, the confidant actually returned in a panic, with a look of excitement on his face,
And shouted:
"Young Chieftain, Young Chieftain, the Great Shamans are gone, they're gone!"
Na Duo Jiayang was stunned,
Immediately afterwards, a whip struck the confidant's face, and a terrifying bloodstain immediately appeared on the confidant's face.
"Nonsense, how could the Great Shamans abandon us!"
Na Duo Jiayang immediately whipped his horse back and discovered that the ten or so shamans on horseback who had originally been surrounded by everyone in the formation, were still sitting steadily on their horses, unmoved.
When Na Duo Jiayang came to a shaman and reached out to lift the shaman's black robe, he discovered that inside the black robe, there was no person, only a scarecrow.
The black robes of the other shamans were also lifted, and inside, they were all scarecrows.
After seeing this scene,
Na Duo Jiayang hugged his head with both hands,
And let out a desperate roar:
"Ah!!!"
…………
Under the night sky,
More than ten shamans with bare bodies were moving quickly in the desert.
They had no warhorses under them, but their speed was still very fast.
The Great Shaman walked in the middle of the group, his face was a little gloomy.
The attack on the Na Duo tribe proved that someone had already foreseen his plan.
Na Duo Jiayang had become his shadow, attracting pursuers;
But he still couldn't guarantee whether he and the others could break through.
That Marquis's mansion, that army known as the eternal garrison of the northern border, had been a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the desert barbarians for nearly a hundred years!
"Everyone continue to cast spells to accelerate. After crossing the Ganges, there will be ten thousand cavalry from the royal court to meet us. Our mission will then be completed!"
The Great Shaman encouraged the shamans beside him. They had already consumed a lot of vitality in the process of summoning Shatuo Queshi. In order to deceive Na Duo Jiayang, they had abandoned their horses. Now, they could only rely on barbarian spells to increase their movement speed, which was another huge consumption.
However,
Just as the Ganges was in sight,
The ground began to shake.
Streams of black torrents seemed to tear apart the cover of the night, and began to wantonly reveal their claws on this desert, indicating that they were the true kings of this yellow sand!
The shamans stopped, and despair appeared on their faces.
The Great Shaman held his scepter and walked to the front of the formation, his expression was very solemn.
"Li Chenghui, General of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, greets the Great Shaman."
"Li Liangshen, General of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, greets the Great Shaman."
Two generals, in person!
Accompanying them were nearly ten thousand iron cavalry!
The Great Shaman smiled.
At this moment,
He knew,
He no longer had any room for luck.
The Great Shaman shouted:
"Great Shaman of the Royal Court's Shamanic Hall, greets the two generals."
Li Chenghui shouted:
"My old matriarch has also come. She said that the scorpion wine sent by the Great Shaman last year, she drank it. This year's rheumatism is indeed not as difficult to endure as in the past."
The Great Shaman laughed:
"It's good that the old matriarch finds it useful. I have already brewed this year's scorpion wine. In a few months, my disciple will send someone to deliver it to the old matriarch."
Li Chenghui shouted again:
"My old matriarch also said that the Great Shaman is an old man, and he has worked hard for the royal court all his life. It is really hard work. Even she, a woman, can't stand it anymore.
The old matriarch said that the Barbarian King is not kind and does not understand how to care for his ministers."
The old shaman said:
"Thank you for the old matriarch's concern. My old bones can still move."
Li Chenghui raised his longbow,
Nocked an arrow,
And shouted:
"The old matriarch said that she has always been curious about whether there really is a barbarian god in this world."
The old shaman looked solemn,
And replied:
"Of course there is. The barbarian god is above, beyond doubt."
"The old matriarch said:
Good,
Please ascend to heaven today, old shaman, and take a look for her!"
…………
"Hey, did you seduce him or not?"
Si Niang sat on the ground and shouted at Liang Cheng.
"The summoning over there has ended. We're just waiting for the corpse to finish converting its evil aura, and then it will turn into a zombie."
"I'm asking you, can you hook him? You're a great ancient zombie, can't you even do this little thing?
Heh, what a disgrace."
Liang Cheng took a deep breath and said calmly:
"It's useless. I've tried Chongqing hotpot, Shaanxi saozi noodles, and Northeast stew, but there's still no response over there."
"No response? Then try Shaxian snacks, Lanzhou beef noodles, and braised chicken rice?"
"..." Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng, who had always been calm and perfectly embodied the cold image of a zombie,
At this moment, he really had an urge to swear: "Are you f*cking kidding me?"
But suppressing his discomfort,
Suppressing his code of conduct,
Liang Cheng closed his eyes again,
And began to relay the message to the other side as Si Niang said:
"Shaxian snacks?"
"Lanzhou beef noodles?"
"Braised chicken rice?"
Even,
Liang Cheng added a few himself:
"Carp braised in noodles?"
"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"
"Roasted whole lamb?"
In the end,
There was still no response from the other side.
If this scene were to be visualized at this time,
It could be seen as Shatuo Queshi standing there with his eyes closed in a white mist.
And not far in front of him, Liang Cheng was reciting the names of dishes one by one.
Liang Cheng could swear,
He had never done anything so nonsensical and embarrassing in his life.
"Still no use?"
Si Niang's impatient voice came again.
Liang Cheng suppressed his urge to go berserk,
And replied:
"It's no use, he's not interested in these dishes."
"Hey, then what should we do? Is there anything else that might interest him?"
"How would I know."
Suddenly,
Si Niang suddenly raised her hand,
And said to Liang Cheng:
"Um, try shouting 'Fan Li'."
"Does Fan Li know him?"
Liang Cheng felt a little inexplicable.
Fan Li had gone to the desert with him and A'ming. Now he and A'ming were helping to relocate the tribe over there.
"Um, just try shouting it, by the way, add the surname, Zheng Fanli."
…………
In the white mist,
Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment,
And shouted at Shatuo Queshi, who was standing there motionless in front of him:
"Zheng Fanli!"
Suddenly,
A smile appeared on the corner of Shatuo Queshi's mouth.
At the same time,
The remnant corpse hanging on the archway of the Marquis's mansion,
Showed a real smile!
…………
"He... he... he... responded!"
Liang Cheng felt that his zombie worldview had been shattered.
Si Niang, who had made this suggestion, had her mouth slightly open,
Obviously,
As the proposer,
Si Niang herself didn't expect it to actually work;
Si Niang even lowered her head in disbelief and muttered to herself:
"God, what he's interested in is actually... Master?"
