Everyone stopped dead in their tracks at my command. 'Heavy Snowstorm' and the warriors read my mood and moved quickly to keep an eye on the surroundings.
"······."
Blue dots began to appear one by one at the edge of the map window. The distance is 120m. First of all, it's not that bad.
But, something was running towards us with frightening speed as if it was being chased by something.
'The Mohegan tribe.'
There are approximately twenty people. Lost the battle? As expected, a wide area of red dots was in pursuit of the Mohegan warriors.
Pequot tribe. I turned my head with a stern expression and looked at the Quiri Pee tribe people I had brought with me. If I made a mistake, I could get caught up in their fight.
I made a cool-headed judgment. He gestured towards the 'heavy snowstorm' and the warriors.
- Take people to a safe place.
They began to control the anxious Qureepi people with quick movements at my direction.
"······."
The Quiri Pi tribe sensed something was wrong and followed our warriors' orders without question. I looked at the map window to see if there was a place where our men could hide.
But unfortunately, there wasn't any around here. First of all, avoiding this place was the most urgent task. I moved to the right first.
-This way.
"······."
The warriors and the Quiri Pi tribesmen followed me in a hurry. Before long we arrived at a steep slope.
-Hide here.
-Yes, Chief!
At the warriors' instructions, the Quiri Pi tribesmen hid in the trees and grass and crouched down. A heavy silence fell among the group.
"······."
Before I knew it, I had climbed up the tree with light movements and kept watching ahead while checking the map window frequently.
'I hope you don't come this way.'
* * *
After suffering a crushing defeat in battle against the Pequot tribe, the Blue Leaf quickly retreated from the battlefield with the remaining Mohegan warriors.
However, the Pequot tribe was determined and would not allow them to escape easily. Even now, the Pequot warriors were pursuing them fiercely.
'Blue Leaf' shouted as he looked at the very exhausted warriors.
"Just push a little harder. The valley will appear soon!"
"Yes, Chief!"
However, the situation was turning increasingly unfavorable for the Mohegan warriors. Before they knew it, the Pequot warriors were beginning to appear one by one and were pressuring them.
At that moment, arrows shot by the Pequot warriors flew from all directions.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Eww!
A Mohegan warrior was struck in the back by an arrow and fell. However, the chieftain, 'Blue Leaf', could not help the warrior.
If you had helped that warrior, you would have been completely surrounded by the Pequot tribesmen, and not only yourself, but the rest of the warriors could have been wiped out.
He bit his lip hard and shouted again to the Mohegan warriors who still had 'green leaves' left.
"Don't look back. Just run forward. You'll have a chance to get revenge on the Pequots later. Everyone, this way!"
* * *
'shit!'
For a moment, I almost swore. The Mohegan warriors suddenly turned and ran towards us. I tried my best not to meddle in other people's business...
However, the Pequot warriors were also coming towards us, chasing the Mohegan warriors.
'I really have a bad relationship with the Pequot tribe.'
I jumped lightly from the tree. Okay! If a battle is going to break out anyway, it should be somewhere other than where the Curie Pi people are.
He turned his head and called the 'Heavy Snowstorm' and the warriors, briefly explaining the current situation.
"······Things are not going well. It seems we should help the Mohegan tribe and fight the Pequot warriors. However, we will not go to the front and support them from the rear as much as possible."
"Yes, Chief!"
"Understood, Chief!"
The Susquehannock warriors also had heard of the Pequot tribe's brutality, so they took out their bows and prepared for battle.
I ran towards the Curie P people who had the 'Talkative Sparrow'.
"······We will try to prevent the Pequot warriors from coming this way, but I think it would be best to prepare for a fight just in case."
The 'talkative sparrow' nodded repeatedly in response.
"All right."
Among the Quiri Pi people, there were some who were not as skilled as warriors, but at least they could shoot arrows or handle spears.
And among them there were some who had the potential to become warriors.
"Nothing will happen. But please reassure people so they don't feel anxious."
"Understood. Be careful, Chief!"
While 'The Talkative Sparrow' was reassuring the Quiri Pi people, I led 'The Heavy Snowstorm' and the warriors to the place that would become the battlefield.
* * *
There were about fifty Pequot warriors. There were quite a lot of people. Although this was not what they wanted, the Mohegan warriors who were supposed to be their allies were reduced to sixteen in a short period of time.
Even including us, we were inferior in number of warriors. I planned the operation with a careful look in my eyes.
'It seems like ambushes and surprise attacks are already a thing of the past.'
First, we must make the most of the strengths we have. bow. The bow I upgraded was far better in range and destructive power than the one I used before.
And each of the warriors and the 'Heavy Blizzard' had one of those bows.
"Quickly eliminate the Pequot warriors from the left."
"Yes, Chief!"
There weren't many warriors to begin with, so there was no need to split into two teams. Following me, the 'heavy snowstorm' and warriors ran through the trees.
After a while, the warriors and I each hid behind a tree and waited for the Pequot warriors who would become our prey. He checked the map window marked with red dots and instructed his warriors to prepare to shoot their bows.
At that moment, Pequot warriors began to appear in our sights.
"now!"
As soon as my order was given, the 'Heavy Snowstorm' and the warriors began to fire their loaded arrows without hesitation.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
I too shot three arrows in quick succession at incredible speed.
Eww! Eww! Eww!
The Pequot warriors, who had been absorbed in the pursuit, were hit by our arrows and fell down screaming here and there.
"The enemy!"
"It's a surprise attack!"
"Everyone, find a place to hide and fight back!"
The Pequot warriors were in disarray and confusion. We didn't miss the opportunity and continued shooting.
Phuuk! Phuuk! Phuuk phuuk!
Once again several Pequot warriors fell. Occasionally, the Pequot warrior camp would counterattack by shooting arrows.
However, the bow's range was short, so the arrows didn't even come close to us.
"Let's move forward a little further."
"Yes, Chief!"
Did they feel confident and superior in the bows they possessed? The warriors following me began to shoot their arrows more leisurely and carefully than before.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Whenever the heads or bodies of the Pequot warriors were seen, arrows would inevitably fly. Again several Pequot warriors fell screaming.
'There are thirty-two left now?'
A single attack caused enormous damage to the Pequot warriors.
* * *
"The enemy!"
"It's a surprise attack!"
'Blue Leaf' sighed in relief at the screams and urgent cries of the Pequot warriors coming from behind.
'I survived!'
'Blue Leaf' stopped running and turned around.
"Warriors from the neighboring village have come to save us. There is no need to run away now. From now on, we will deal with the Pequots together with the warriors from the neighboring village."
"Yes, Chief!"
The faces of the Mohegan warriors, who had been breathing heavily, became lively. As the 'Blue Leaf' ran forward, the Mohegan warriors followed, each holding a weapon.
* * *
The Mohegan warriors, who had been running away, finally began to counterattack. On the right, Mohegan warriors were attacking the Pequot warriors with bows.
Eww! Eww!
As the Pequot warriors' attention was distracted, I took advantage of the gap and moved boldly.
"Heavy snowstorm! Let's go!"
"Yes, Chief!"
"The rest follow us and provide supporting fire."
"Understood, Chief!"
Suddenly, 'Heavy Snowstorm', armed with shield and club, came running towards the Pequot warriors. Red dots displayed in the map window.
Knowing the location of the Pequot warriors, I had nothing to fear. Just then, a few Pequot warriors who had been hiding behind the trees popped their heads out, and the warriors behind us responded with their usual support fire.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
"Heavy snowstorm! I take the right! You take the left."
"Understood, Chief!"
As soon as he finished speaking, we immediately pounced on the Pequot warriors hiding behind the trees.
Bam! Bam!
My axe struck the Pequot warrior's head and chest in quick succession. And then he quickly threw his dagger at the Pequot warrior on the other side, easily dealing with him.
Phew!
Aaaah!
As if to show why he was a great warrior, 'Heavy Snowstorm' struck down his club without hesitation and killed two Pequot warriors in one breath.
"Next, this way!"
I led my warriors and moved to find more Pequot warriors.
* * *
Whirlirik!
The axe slipped out of my hand and sank into the back of the fleeing Pequot warrior.
puck!
After I had dealt with the last remaining Pequot warrior cleanly, I picked up my axe and walked towards the warriors who were breathing heavily.
"You fought well for your first time."
The Lenape warriors, who had little combat experience compared to the Susquehannock warriors, finally relaxed and smiled brightly.
He turned his head and spoke this time to the 'Heavy Blizzard' and the Susquehannock warriors.
"Good job everyone."
"no."
At that moment, the Mohegan warriors, reduced to fourteen, approached us.
"Are you Lenape people?"
"Yes."
The disappointment was short-lived as their chief greeted them politely.
"······Thank you very much for your help. I am Chief Blue Leaf of the Mohegan Tribe."
Looks familiar. I think I saw him once when I was trading with the Mohegan tribe. However, 'Blue Leaf' seemed not to remember me.
"This is the great chief of the Lenape tribe, Icheonil."
"I see. Nice to meet you."
As their haggard appearance suggests, 'Blue Leaves' expressed their sincere gratitude several times.
"······I owe you a great favor. I truly, truly appreciate it. I would like to talk to you more, but as you can see, my tribe is at war with the Pequot tribe, so I must go quickly. In any case, I will put my honor and the Mohegan tribe on the line, and I will visit the Lenape tribe later to repay you."
I didn't expect anything in return though.
"All right."
"Thank you for understanding our situation. Well, let's go first."
After a while, when the Mohegan warriors disappeared, we also prepared to leave.
"It's been quite a while. Let's take the Curie P people to the next location."
"Understood, Chief!"
"Yes, Chief!"
* * *
A 'very big' town. A wheeled cart was being moved along a well-paved stone road within the village.
"Lazy beaver! Move back!"
"This time, forward."
"Turn right."
"To the left."
The villagers were annoying the 'lazy beaver' who pulled the cart himself by ordering him around to do various things.
"Isn't it hard?"
"Wow! That's amazing."
"You can carry stuff on that cart."
"I know."
"Lazy beaver! Is there only one cart?"
'Lazy Beaver,' said the cart's handle.
"Until now."
"Make a few more."
The 'lazy beaver' let out a long sigh as if he was frustrated with the villagers' conversation.
"I want to make more, too. But I can only make it if the chief comes."
"Tsk tsk! How lazy. What have you been doing up until now without learning from the chief?"
At that moment, the 'lazy beaver' screamed in frustration.
"The chief has to teach you, right? And I'm not playing. You all know how busy I am."
* * *
There were two shabby huts built in the middle of the forest. The man standing across from me was making an absurdly harsh condition.
"If you beat me, I'll clear this place and follow you."
And he's smiling with an arrogant expression.
"······."
I didn't say anything, but checked this man's abilities with my mind's eye.
'I didn't know I'd meet another great warrior here.'
