A red dot means an enemy. Moreover, the enemy was approaching us with a wide formation. Even if you move now, it's already too late.
In any case, it is a situation where battle cannot be avoided. I didn't say anything specific so people wouldn't misunderstand.
"It feels cheap all around."
"······hmm!"
As expected, 'The Hunter of the Forest' did not just pass over my opinion. Just then, a 'fast-footed deer' came and offered some help, but not much help.
"Chief! Why? Are there wolves or bears ahead?"
He shook his head with an incomprehensible expression.
"I don't think it's an animal."
"Well, they're people. Maybe the Pequots!"
At those words, the Lenape chiefs and warriors who had gathered around became momentarily tensed. This land is the territory of the Pequot and Mohegan tribes.
"The hunter of the forest! I feel uneasy just passing by."
"Yes. First, I think it would be a good idea to send warriors to the front and check."
The 'Forest Hunter' nodded in agreement with the other chiefs' opinions.
"That would be a good idea. Everyone, find a place to hide and form a defensive formation."
"Okay."
"Don't do that."
The 'Forest Hunter' called out the names of the warriors he wanted to send as scouts, including me. The swift deer, the brave eagle...
A total of six people. The 'Hunter of the Forest' looked at me and said.
"If you judge that they are enemies, send a signal with bird sounds."
"yes."
After giving a short answer, I checked the formation of the warriors positioned around me.
'Not bad.'
While moving, we practiced defensive and offensive formations from time to time. Of course, I advised and the 'Forest Hunters' stepped forward and actively trained the warriors.
As soon as I was ready for battle in case of the worst, I led my warriors forward without delay.
'I need a suitable place to observe the enemy.'
I looked around, quickly scanning the map window and the map window. Before I knew it, the blue and red dots had come into a radius of fifty meters.
Luckily, they had no idea we were there. and··· Unfortunately, it kept coming towards us. Finally, suitable places appeared.
He formed a team of two and gave instructions. The fast deer team, the brave eagle team, and me. I gave some cautions while reconnaissance.
Do not attack until my signal drops. If a battle breaks out, we will aim for the enemy's rear.
"Swift deer! Watch out from that tree."
"Okay, Chief!"
The 'Swift Deer' didn't question my instructions at all and ran with one of the warriors.
"Brave eagle! To the tree on the right."
"···Understood, Chief!"
The 'brave eagle' hesitated for a moment and answered with a look of slight doubt on his face.
Phew!
'I guess you don't believe me.'
I understand completely. I turned my head and spoke to the remaining warriors.
"We are with this tree."
"Yes, Chief!"
The two of us climbed up the tree with skillful movements. Each of them took a position on a tree branch, hid their bodies, and watched the front.
I turned my head to check the other team. The other teams also settled in without any problems. The 'Fast Deer' and 'Fearless Eagle' teams met my gaze and nodded as if ready to scout.
And I waited like that for a while. At that moment, the blue dots displayed on the map window appeared. A family of people was running towards us, out of breath, as if they were being chased by something.
I quickly signaled to the other group with my hand to watch longer. The 'swift deer' and the 'valiant eagle' signaled that they knew.
At that moment, arrows were flying here and there in front.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
People being chased by the red enemies ducked their heads or crouched to avoid the arrows. And they did not stop running.
"Waqua! Maraqui!"
"Arakawa!
Their leader was heard shouting urgently towards his family. Finally, the warrior who was watching the scene with me spoke quietly as if whispering.
"We are a wandering tribe."
'A wandering tribe···'
I had heard of their tribe, but this was the first time I saw them with my own eyes. Meanwhile, red dots chasing them began to appear one by one.
"Wow! Sakarana!"
Adadadadadadadada!
The warrior next to me's expression hardened for a moment.
"This is the Pequot tribe."
"Yes. The Pequot tribe."
As expected, it was as expected. After confirming the enemy's identity, I winked at the warrior. The warrior nodded and pursed his lips to make an indecipherable sound.
Chirp! Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!
The bird calls were so similar that the Wandering Tribe and the Pequot Tribe were completely unaware of our signals. And then, before we knew it, a wandering tribe passed the tree under which we were hiding.
* * *
Chirp! Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!
As the warriors sent forward made a noise, the 'Forest Hunter' and the other chieftains instantly became cold.
'The Wandering Tribe and the Pequot Tribe?'
Just from that signal, I could guess what the situation was. The 'Forest Hunters' and the chieftains secretly exchanged signals to alert their warriors to prepare for battle.
The warriors each took up their weapons and prepared to attack.
"I will make a surprise attack."
"We will wait for the enemy to let his guard down, so be prepared and brace yourself."
"There are only about twenty Pequots."
"The enemy doesn't know we're here."
"We win."
The chieftains consoled their nervous warriors.
* * *
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish!
The Pequots passed by, shooting arrows and throwing spears. Even though he was quite tall, he jumped down from the tree with light movements.
Okay!
"······."
Then, the warrior on my team came down from the tree with a surprised expression on his face at my movements. Just then, other teams also came down from the trees and ran towards where I was.
The 'Swift Deer' squared his shoulders and spoke with a sly grin for the other warriors to hear.
"As expected, he's our chief. If you just listen to what our chief says, you can survive even in a pit of fire. Hahaha!"
"······."
Unlike before, the way the warriors looked at me had definitely changed. Even the 'brave eagle', who was full of questions and doubts.
I gave calm instructions with a cool look in my eyes.
"From now on. Target the enemy's rear. Instigate confusion."
The warriors nodded and gripped their bows tightly.
"Go."
"Yes, Chief!"
As I moved to the left first with the map window and map window open, the warriors followed me quickly without a word.
* * *
Three Pequot warriors separated from the herd. Even if they weren't wandering tribes, if we had met them, there would have definitely been a battle.
I fired the arrow from the bow without hesitation.
Swish!
That was the beginning of the attack. The 'swift deer' and warriors, who had been preparing to shoot their bows in advance, fired arrows one after another.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Pequot warriors, who were caught off guard by arrows, fell to the ground screaming.
"Let's take care of them quickly before the others arrive."
"Yes, Chief!"
Suddenly, the 'brave eagle' and one of the warriors, holding a club, struck down the Pequot warriors who were still breathing on the ground.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Eww! Eww! Eww!
Meanwhile, I and the rest of the warriors kept watch over the surroundings.
Shhh!
'He's coming.'
Hearing the screams, five Pequot warriors were coming this way.
"The prey has taken the bait. Over there."
"Yes, Chief!"
The forest covered with trees was the best battlefield for me with the map window. The warriors who were hiding behind the rock following me all looked forward.
Five Pequot warriors looked around nervously in front of their horribly dead compatriots as if something was wrong. At that moment, an arrow flew towards them.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Neck, chest, pectorals, shoulders, arms.
Eww! Eww!
I took up my spear and rushed forward without hesitation, taking along the 'brave eagle' and one warrior.
"Fast deer! Support fire!"
"Okay, Chief!"
Two warriors skilled in archery were assigned to the 'swift deer'. The 'fast deer' seemed to be in high spirits and began to move forward, leading the remaining warriors and providing supporting fire.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Two Pequot warriors were hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.
Thud! Puff puff! Thud! Puff puff!
The 'brave eagle' and the warrior mercilessly beat the Pequot warriors who had fallen to the ground with their clubs.
I threw my spear with all my might at the terrified Pequot warrior who was running away.
Swish!
The spear flew fiercely, the sound of cutting through the air, and it lodged itself in the Pequot warrior's back. No, the spear that was stuck in his back came out through his chest.
Eww!
Instant death. I said this while looking at the warriors who had gathered around me.
"The battle has begun. We are joining in."
"Understood, Chief!"
I took my warriors and ran to where the battle was taking place.
* * *
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The 'Forest Hunter' looked at the surrounded Pequot warriors and gave the order to attack without hesitation.
"Shoot the bow!"
"Throw the window!"
Pequot warriors pursuing the wandering tribe, unaware that the Lenape warriors were ambushed, were struck by arrows and spears.
Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww!
The ambush was successful. In addition, the great warrior 'Very Big Two Thousand Days' and his warriors suddenly attacked the Pequot warriors from the rear.
Thud! Puff puff! Thud! Phew!
* * *
The battle is over. It was a great victory. None of the Lenape warriors were injured or killed. Everyone looked at me with a lot of excitement.
"That's really amazing."
"A very big two thousand days! If it weren't for you, I would have been in real trouble."
"How did you know?"
The chieftains praised me and lifted me up with gratitude.
"It's just a feeling."
"You're not a sorcerer, you just know it with your gut. That's even more amazing."
The 'swift deer' and the 'stubborn bear' shrugged their shoulders as if they were being praised.
"Hehehe! Our chief is the best! He fights well and leads people well."
"That's true. No matter how you look at it, our chief is a great chief. Isn't he? Honest bear!"
"Hehehe! That's right. Our chief is the great chief."
I felt a little embarrassed by their behavior of speaking loudly as if everyone was listening, but I didn't feel bad. The corners of the mouth of the 'hunter of the forest' slightly went up as if he was pleased when his son-in-law was praised.
"I think it would be a good idea to clear the battlefield and check the Pequots to see if they have anything good."
"Okay."
"Don't do that."
A few chieftains dispersed with their warriors. At that moment, a wandering tribe pursued by Pequot warriors approached.
From newborns to the elderly, in family units. The man leading them came forward and expressed his gratitude, looking very haggard.
"I'm going to sleep!"
"······."
A warrior among the party who knew the language of the wandering tribes spoke to the 'Forest Hunter'.
"Quiri Phi is lacking."
"Quiri P?"
"yes."
"Are you saying thank you?"
"Yes. Thank you for saving us."
The 'Forest Hunter' nodded and accepted the man's gratitude.
"Thank you, now that you're done, let's go."
"Yes, Chief!"
As the warrior translated the words of the 'Forest Hunter' verbatim, the man from the Curie Pi wandering tribe hesitated for a moment before gathering his courage and speaking.
"Sarakara! Makku! Caw!"
"what?"
"They ask that we take them in because they have nowhere to go."
"······."
In an instant, the expressions of the 'Forest Hunters' and the chieftains all hardened, and they looked at each other's faces and shook their heads from side to side.
If you carry them around like a burden, you could end up getting yourself into trouble for no reason. And the identity is also unclear.
"No way. Tell them to go with a nice word before you kick them out."
"Understood, Chief!"
The moment the warrior began to interpret in the language of the Quiri Pi tribe, I quickly raised my hand to stop him.
"for a moment!"
"······."
The 'Forest Hunters' and the chieftains looked at me with questioning eyes.
"Is it okay if I take them in?"
