On the second day, before dawn, the sky and the earth were dark, and Manon's army set out.
The army held countless torches along the way, and the endless army was like a long dragon. From a distance, you can hear the rumbling sound like thunder.
This is the nature of the African land. It is hot during the day. If you march on a large scale during the day, people and horses will have to eat and chew along the way, which will put a heavy burden on logistics. It is different at night. It is very cool at night, which can save a lot of physical strength and food, water and baggage.
After a day and night of marching, Manon's army soon arrived at the destination. Looking at the large tribal camp in front of them from a distance, under Manon's command, the army rushed towards the tribe in front like a tide.
...
The result is naturally no suspense. Manon's army won the victory easily. Although many people were lost, Manon didn't care at all. This military action once again greatly advanced Manon's sphere of influence.
"How is it? How is my army?" Manon asked Jiang Ning who was standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Elite troops who have fought for hundreds of battles, but..."
Manon nodded with satisfaction when he heard the words
"elite troops who have fought for hundreds of battles". The next sentence made him a little unhappy: "How is it?" "The tactics are disorganized and the army has not exerted its due strength!"
Manon became interested: "Wizards also understand the army?"
"My king, don't you know that wizards are famous for their erudition?"
"I really haven't heard of it!"
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head: "For a long time, the image of wizards given to the outside world is mysterious and weird. Some witchcraft that drives the elements makes the world think that wizards are powerful magicians. In fact, it is not. The most feared thing about wizards is his wisdom and erudition. And magic is just a means for us to defend ourselves."
"So, you know a lot of knowledge?" Manon was very interested. From this era to the next few thousand years, knowledge will always be in the hands of a few people. If Manon was just curious about Jiang Ning before, he didn't pay much attention to him. Now, Manon's perception of Jiang Ning has risen to a higher level. After all, people who have knowledge should be respected!
Jiang Ning would never be polite to a foreigner: "Yes, whether it is the knowledge of wizards or mortals, I know a lot!"
"Tell me, what knowledge do you have?"
"That depends on what you are interested in, my king."
"When you go back, you must tell me in detail." Manon said with a test. "
With pleasure!"
...
The war was victorious, and the army naturally returned.
After wiping out this tribe, all the tribes in other places also knew about it. The wiping out of another tribe made the remaining tribes panic. These tribes gathered together to discuss how to deal with Manon.
...
At the foot of a mountain, the leaders of various tribes gathered together and kept arguing.
"Silence!"
The noisy voice made the initiator of this tribal meeting very impatient.
"Father asked you to be quiet! Don't talk!"
The noisy quarrel disappeared, and the leaders of various tribes looked at the king on the high platform.
"Everyone gathered here should put aside their prejudices! Before it's too late, the remaining tribes should unite to resist the tyrant!"
"He has a wizard under his command, and no one can defeat him!" said a tribal chief.
Another black-skinned female chief added: "I heard that a wizard came from faraway China. He joined Manon! This wizard from the 'Chinese Tribe' is said to have control over ice, fire, and an invisible magical power!" Her words frightened the rest of the tribe.
"Manon is difficult to deal with with a wizard. Now, another wizard has joined Manon! Can we still defeat Manon?" Another chief said worriedly.
Obviously, his words still caused a panic.
"Even if Manon has two wizards, what does it matter? Are we going to sit and wait for death, and let our tribesmen become Manon's slaves? Unconditionally give the land we depend on for survival to Manon? No, if so, what is the meaning of the tribe's existence? We should unite together and fight against Manon together."
"Basha, what soldiers do you have now? All your soldiers are dead. Now you have nothing, only stones and yellow sand." The son of the chief who initiated the meeting said. (I don't know what it's called, only the English word Takmet)
Basha suddenly grabbed his hand holding the wine glass, and he bent down involuntarily because of the pain: "If I am not a king, then why do you kneel to me!"
"Basha!"
In an instant, all the tribal warriors took out their weapons.
Basha turned around and wanted to take out his weapon.
Then, a whistling sound came, and a war sickle was tightly embedded in the wooden stake.
...
"Assassin?"
"It's the Akkad!"
The identity of the person who came was recognized by the surrounding tribes.
"Akkad? I thought they were extinct!" Basha said.
The chief explained: "They are the last Akkadians, the elite among assassins. I asked them to come and assassinate Manon's wizard!" After the old chief finished speaking, he threw out a small package.
The leading Akkadian took it and opened it. There were dozens of rubies inside.
When the old chief's son saw it, he said anxiously: "That is the only wealth left in our tribe!"
"If we can't defeat Manon, it's useless to leave more wealth." The old chief said sternly: "If they eliminate the wizard, will you send troops?"
The chiefs of each tribe discussed together, and then nodded in unison, agreeing to fight together.
The four assassins received the commission and turned away.
"Hey, Akkadian!"
As soon as the leader turned around, a war sickle flew towards him. He easily took the war sickle and put it behind him.
"Don't die so easily, Akkadian!"
...
"There is a group of Akkadian assassins who want to assassinate us!" Cassandra said.
Manon knocked and stopped on the armrest of the chair: "How many people are there?"
"Only four people!"
"Oh, only four people dare to come to assassinate?" Manon didn't care, and then he looked at Jiang Ning.
"My king, don't worry. I will make sure that they will never come back!" Jiang Ning said.
"Very good!"
Jiang Ning's 'loyalty' satisfied Manon, and then he gave the order.
"Since these Akkadians want to assassinate, let them do it." Manon said sternly: "I want to see what these assassins are capable of!"
"Yes, my king!" After receiving Manon's order, his generals began to make arrangements.
Then, the counter-encirclement of the four assassins officially began!
