Empire: Invincible Valkyrie

Chapter 15 The War Is Coming
"Have you heard? The Talkan tribe and the Mengke tribe are fighting, ouch, that battle seems to be fighting to the death."

"You just know, someone has reported it a long time ago, it seems to be because of the water source."

"Hey, these two tribes are usually pretty good. They can do this for the sake of the water source. Maybe it will be our turn."

"Isn't it? The grassland is almost dry, and only those places with abundant water sources are still lush with water and grass. In order to survive, don't we have to fight?"

Early in the morning, Wo Hong woke up from the felt tent and put on a new set of clothes. He felt the atmosphere was heavy. After asking around, he heard that the herdsmen were all discussing the latest news on the grassland.

He let out a long sigh of relief, but fortunately no one talked about him.

The war will start, this is what he expected a long time ago. In the past, when he heard about the war, the warriors in the tribe were often very excited, because it meant that they could rob women, food, and wealth. Although the tribe often took most of them, they could There is also a lot left for them.

But this is not the case now. In a disaster year, everyone has a hard time.

Launching a war at this time will only consume the strength of the tribe.

There is not a lot of wealth on the grassland, and the small tribes conquer each other. Among them, there is naturally the shadow of Zhao Guo. As a big country in the east of the grassland, these Kut people can neither conquer the grassland people who yearn for freedom, nor can they conquer the powerful people. of Jin.

However, the Kut people do not want a unified grassland. For hundreds of years, they have been crusade against the heroes who want to unify the grassland.

It sparked wars among the various tribes. Although this made the tribes miserable, it also inadvertently promoted the great integration of the grassland.

At the same time as the war, marriages and alliances also gradually appeared in the thoughts of the grassland people. The ethnic groups no longer repel each other, and they hope to unify the grasslands to achieve the goal of peace.

Wo Hong fetched some water from the well and cooked the boring mutton. He ate this stuff every day. To be honest, he was a little annoyed.

He sat casually on the grass, propping his head thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Wo Hong turned his head and looked, it was a middle-aged man with a strong figure, he stood up quickly, with a smile on his face: "Abba, are you feeling better?"

"Yeah." Zug nodded with a serious face, shaking his shoulders, "It's just a small injury, it's fine."

"In the future, if you go to the battlefield with people from the tribe, you may suffer more serious injuries than this."

Chu Ge patted Wohong on the shoulder: "I see you have a serious face, why, are you not used to staying in the tribe?"

"Ah, nothing." Wo Hong scratched his head with a smile.

"When I went to the tribe just now, I heard everyone say that two tribes were fighting, and the fighting was fierce. I wondered, would our tribe have to go through this too?" Of course, Wuhong would not let Chu Ge asked a second time, and simply said what he was thinking.

"Oh? You still care about this?" Zuge became interested, and after signaling Wohong to sit down, he sat beside him.

"Well, when resources are insufficient, disputes will inevitably arise, and if the disputes cannot be resolved, it is time to use force. Although our tribe's strength is upper-middle on the grassland, other small and medium-sized tribes may not be able to unite. stand up."

"At that time, war will be unavoidable, and other medium-sized and large tribes, in order to weaken and more conveniently plunder my tribe's resources, will choose to watch us fight with each other, and then consider whether to start."

"So, my son's idea is that although our tribe is now safe with abundant resources, sufficient food, and sufficient strength, we cannot relax our vigilance. We should form a group in time to prepare for war."

Wo Hong's thoughts are very clear. He realizes that war is inevitable. Although he may not be able to go to the battlefield at his age, if the battle is serious, any man with strength will ride a horse and fight for the tribe!

He got help from the tribe, not only out of righteousness, but also to repay the kindness of Zug and the patriarch, and he had to fight.

And at his age, even if there is a cheater, without the help of the tribe, the road to cultivation will also become difficult, which is not good for him. Therefore, Wo Hong hopes that the tribe can avoid the war of extermination.

"Well, yes, you can think of these things at such a young age, which is rare among the children of the whole tribe." Chu Ge nodded in satisfaction.

But he didn't fully agree with Wo Hong's meaning. He patted Wo Hong on the back: "Don't worry, Hong'er, the war will not affect the tribe's location."

Perhaps seeing Wohong's slightly puzzled expression, Zuge continued to explain: "The Hulan tribe is a tribe of the middle and upper classes. During our disasters over the years, every tribe wanted to form an alliance with us, so the tribe also In the middle, it can grow slowly."

"Furthermore, behind our tribe is one of the twelve guardian tribes, the nobles of the Celestial family. We are protected by the Celestial family. No tribe will dare to challenge the Celestial family and destroy us."

"Of course, what you said is right and wrong."

"War will definitely come." Zug looked solemnly into the distance, the grassland that had gradually withered and yellowed, this was the current situation of the entire grassland.

He said lightly: "There must be war in every disaster year. This is an unchanging law on the grassland."

"But it's also time for the entire grassland to unite."

"Or, the big and small tribes in the grassland unite and move eastward together to compete with the Kut for resources and survival sites."

"Either, the tribes of the grassland unite with the State of Zhao, advance in both directions, and go south together. As long as they can break through the castle area of ​​the State of Jin in the north, they can seize a lot of food, grass and wealth."

"Even go all the way south, to the capital of the state of Jin!!!"

"Forcing the Jin emperor to marry, spend a lot of money, send a lot of food, and even cede the land. Not only that, we can also take this opportunity to plunder the population and resources, weaken the Jin state, and strengthen ourselves."

Speaking of this, Zug drew a complete picture on the ground, which is exactly the division of power of the three countries, and then he thought about it for a while.

After some contemplation, he said: "Judging from the current state of chaos in Zhao State and the grassland, it is very likely that they are going to attack Jin State."

"Abba, from this point of view, the people of Jin are very strong? They actually need two big forces to join forces to beat him." Wo Hong asked his own question.

"Of course!!" Zug took a deep look at him: "The biggest characteristic of farming people is that they have a lot of food and build tall cities. Their cultivation of tattoos is much easier than our cultivation of totems."

"But it won't work if you don't fight the Jin country. According to the current drought situation, I'm afraid it won't get better in a while. Even if it gets better in a few months, it's almost winter. There is not enough food for the winter, and the tribe will die. how many people!"

"How many people will die in the entire grassland! We all understand that instead of wasting strength in internal friction, it is better to unite and fight. If the fight is successful, then there is really no need to worry!"

"Even if they lose, the power of each tribe is used on the right path, and it will also allow each tribe to usher in a more peaceful period of time."

"So, no matter how you think about it, launching a war against Jin is a good thing for the tribes on the grasslands, which outweighs the disadvantages!"
