It was somewhat expected. Because the Iroquois Confederacy cannot afford our 'Sun in the Sky' warriors.
Phew!
'The Illinois Confederation and the Avnaki Confederation…'
Two alliances fell right into the trap I set. As a result of focusing on internal affairs for the past two years, 'Sun of the Sky' is developing at an incredible pace.
And to some extent, the legal and administrative systems were stably established, so the 'Sun in the Sky' was running smoothly even without me.
In a situation where I was already looking outside for territorial expansion and iron ore supplies, the Illinois Federation and the Avnaki Federation gave me a pretext to invade on my own, which made me feel good.
'Map window!'
I looked at the map above my head showing the territory of the 'Sun in the Sky' and the tribes surrounding it, and I was lost in thought for a moment.
So how will the three alliances devise their strategies? If I were in their shoes, I don't think they would gather in one place and fight us.
Moreover, given the characteristics of American tribes, who are known for surprise attacks…
'I'll extend the front as much as possible.'
I think that was the most likely possibility. I naturally moved the transparent map window to check the area around the Shawnee tribal territory.
'If the Illinois Confederacy is a confederation of prairie tribes, they will probably try to attack the Shawnee tribe.'
I would have to keep a close eye on the Illinois Federation through the Office of Inspector General, but my thoughts were close to certain.
This time, I moved the map window to the right to check the territory of the Avnaki Federation. The Mohawks, the Mohegans, the Pequots, and finally the Wampanoags.
The territories of these tribes bordered the territories of the Abnaki confederation.
'Hmm! This is a bit unexpected.'
As my mind raced, the expected route along which the Abnaki League would advance was narrowed down to two. The Pequot and Wampanoag tribes.
'It won't be easy for the Abnaki Federation.'
No, if my prediction is correct, the Avnaki Federation will face the worst battlefield. The first tribe I conquered was the Pequots.
The Pequot tribe, who have been under my rule along with the Lenape tribe for quite some time, have now become so assimilated that they may almost be considered the people of the 'sun in the sky'.
And above all, it had well-built fortresses and other defensive facilities, and a thousand warriors who had undergone rigorous training were always stationed there.
Nod nod!
After quickly organizing my complicated thoughts, I immediately wrote down what I was going to send to the head of the Intelligence and Inspection Service, the 'fast-footed deer', and the head of the administration and senior aide, 'brilliant sunset'.
"Pass these on."
The soldier from the Information and Inspection Department who received the paper I handed him answered forcefully.
"I will deliver His Majesty the Emperor's message to you as soon as possible."
The government inspector general, who had been saluting with his hand on his heart, ran off in the direction of a 'very large' city.
I nodded with a meaningful smile as I looked at that sight.
'It's going exactly as I expected.'
Conquer the North American continent or not? I felt once again that this war would be a very important war that would be recorded in history.
"By the way, I hope the Shawnee tribe doesn't suffer any major damage."
Although they say they have stationed vigilante groups and warriors in the village to defend themselves, it cannot be said that there was no damage.
Because you never know which direction the Illinois Confederate warriors might come from. My worries were momentary, but then the voice of 'Heavy Snowstorm' was heard.
"Rest! The end! Warriors, prepare to move!"
"Yes, Mr. Cheon In-jang!"
* * *
The western plains of 'The Sun in the Sky'. The Shawnee Tribe, the Wolf Clan's 'Claw' Village. As the day grew dark over the plains, tens of thousands of stars twinkled in the night sky.
At that time, there were those who secretly approached the Shawnee tribe village. Although they were surrounded by grasslands and could not hide their bodies, the Illinois Confederate warriors crouched as much as possible and advanced little by little at the signals of the great warriors.
"There are enemies guarding the village entrance!"
"Open the door by eliminating them as quickly as possible by surprise!"
Under the orders of the 'Little Giant', the chieftain and warrior of the Peoria tribe, the Kaokia warriors in the forefront led a hundred warriors and charged forward fiercely.
On their heads were eagle feathers, a symbol of the warrior tribes of the steppe. And in one hand he held a club and a spear, and in the other he held a shield made of hard wood covered with buffalo hide.
Chock! Chock! Chock! Chock!
The Illinois Confederate warriors, running without making a sound, soon reached the main gate of the Shawnee village. At that moment, a vigilante warrior who was guarding the surrounding area from a watchtower built between the village gates shouted urgently.
"The enemy!"
"The enemy has invaded!"
The middle-aged warriors of the Shoni tribe guarding the village gate were momentarily confused, but then quickly began to move.
"Go and tell this to the chieftain and the warriors."
"Just in case, don't forget to light a signal fire."
As two Shawnee warriors ran toward the house, the man leading the rest of the warriors ran to the wall first and shouted.
"What are you doing? Everyone, grab your bows and come up to the wall."
Five Shawnee warriors ran forward with arrows nocked on their bows. Meanwhile, they began firing arrows from two watchtowers installed on either side of the main gate.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several arrows quickly fell on the Illinois Confederate warriors running toward the walls. Is that because the arrowheads are made of iron?
Illinois Confederate warriors who had been hit deeply by arrows fell to the ground with screams of pain. And then the Shawnee warriors who had climbed up the wall began to fire in support with surprised looks.
"Damn! There are so many of them."
"Judging by their attire, they look like members of the Illinois Life Tribe?"
"We have to do something to stop them from climbing up the walls."
Six Shawnee warriors did their best to hold out until reinforcements arrived. As the arrows in their quivers suddenly disappeared, the Shawnee warriors threw down their bows and quickly loaded the crossbows stored on the walls.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Meanwhile, the Peoria chief, Little Giant, frowned and shouted at the fierce resistance of the Shawnee warriors.
"We will also provide supporting fire to block their attacks!"
"In particular, we must conquer the house that rises to the sky!"
Again, five hundred Illinois warriors, under the command of the chief, rushed forward and began to provide support fire with their bows.
At that moment, a Shawnee warrior fell to the ground screaming from the house that had risen into the sky.
Crash!
And the arrows flying from the house in the sky suddenly decreased. The 'little giant' did not miss this opportunity and once again gave the order for an all-out attack.
"Now is the time!"
"Climb up the ladder and take control of the main gate!"
"Don't give the enemy any openings and keep attacking!"
Thanks to the supporting fire from the rear, the Kaokia tribe's warriors and their warriors climbed the ladders one by one and climbed the walls.
* * *
"The enemy!"
"The enemy has invaded!"
"Everyone, get up!"
"Chief! The enemy has invaded."
The village of the wolf clan 'Claw', home to about 60 people, was in chaos in the middle of the night. Fewer than twenty houses began to light candles one by one through their window frames, and armed vigilantes and warriors rushed out one by one into the central square.
The Shawnee chief, now fully armed, gave orders to the warriors gathered in the central square with a serious expression on his face.
"First, evacuate the women and children to the basement of the village hall!"
"The rest of the vigilantes and warriors will fight the enemy with me."
"Let's go! To the wall!"
At that moment, a signal fire much taller than the watchtower in the central square burst into flames.
Hwaaaaaaaah!
The Shawnee chieftain, who was running with his warriors to the main gate with black smoke billowing, suddenly took on a dark expression.
'If it's worth lighting a signal fire…'
That means the situation is at its worst.
'I don't know if I can survive here.'
Although his mind was filled with despair, the Shawnee chief showed no sign of it in front of his warriors.
"The warriors will be desperate for our support. Everyone, hurry!"
"Yes, Chief!"
* * *
Swish!
The sharp edge of the sword quickly passed through the club-wielding Illinois Confederate warrior. The head, with its neck cut off in an instant, fell to the floor.
The attack by the sword-wielding Shawnee warrior did not end there. He plunged his sword deep into the chest of the Illinois Confederate warrior who had lost his right arm.
Phew!
The Illinois Confederate warrior fell backwards, blood gushing from his gashed chest. However, the battle on the walls is not over yet.
Suddenly, Illinois Confederate soldiers, climbing up the ladders and climbing onto the walls, swarmed in from all directions like a swarm of bees.
"Don't fight alone!"
"Everyone gather around me and form a defensive formation!"
The leader of the village's vigilante warriors, covered in blood, shouted and led his warriors. However, there was a clear difference in the number of warriors.
Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
At that moment, the Shawnee warrior, impaled on the stone spears all over his body, fell to the ground again with a painful scream.
Now only three Shawnee warriors remain on the walls. Finally, the Kaokia Grand Master's poisonous shout echoed throughout the battlefield.
"Don't be afraid of the enemy's weapons!"
"There are only three enemies left!"
"Throw the window!"
Illinois Confederate warriors mercilessly hurled spears at the cornered Shawnee warriors. One fell, then another. Now the lone Shawnee warrior stood bravely against the Illinois Confederate warriors who surrounded him, swinging their iron bars wildly.
However, he was hit in the head by a strong club from behind, and fell to the ground. Then clubs and spears flew from all directions, slashing at his body.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Phew!
The place where he was lying was quickly dyed red with blood.
"Great Warrior! I have subdued all the Shawnee warriors on the walls."
The Kaokia Grand Master, who had received the report, looked around and quickly gave instructions.
"First, open the door! The rest of the warriors, follow me and attack that house."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Illinois warriors who had climbed up the wall ran towards the main gate and the watchtower respectively.
* * *
As the tightly shut door opened wide, Illinois warriors waiting outside poured into the town. Peoria Tribe Chief 'Little Giant' gave the order without hesitation, as if he was sure of victory.
"From now on, we will completely take control of this village!"
"You can kill all the men of the Shawnee tribe!"
"Run the house thoroughly and take the women and the loot!"
The polygamous Illinois Confederate warriors scattered in all directions, shouting for joy. At that moment, a battle broke out between the warriors who were running to the central square of the village.
"These are the warriors of the Shawnee tribe!"
"Kill them all!"
The Shawnee chief and his warriors, numbering only ten men, were surrounded by Iroquois warriors and suffered a brutal death.
My head is exploding.
My heart is pierced.
My whole body was so tired that I couldn't even recognize my shape. Most of the remaining Shawnee warriors in the village had been dealt with, but fighting was still going on in the soaring house.
The 'little giant' walked towards the soaring house where the Kaokia Grand Master was, full of complaints.
"What are you doing that hasn't been finished yet?"
"I'm sorry. The passage is narrow and I'm having a hard time getting in."
The 'little giant' frowned at the excuse of the Kaokia Grand Master and came up with a simple solution.
"It looks like the arrows are broken, so just set it on fire. If you don't want to burn to death, it'll come out on its own."
"Oh? Then that will work."
A moment later, one by one, Shawnee warriors emerged from two blazing watchtowers. However, he was killed on the spot by the merciless attacks of the Illinois Confederate warriors who were waiting.
The battle was over in an instant. The Kaokia Grand Master approached and reported to the 'little giant'.
"Thank you for your hard work. Clean up the battlefield by tomorrow morning and report on the damage."
"Yes, Chief!"
* * *
The Shawnee tribe, a village centered around the wolf clan. As soon as the sun rose, the chieftain of the Wolf Clan and a member of the 'Sun of the Sky', 'Ferocious Wolf', who was receiving reports in the government office, asked with a stern expression.
"You said there was a signal fire the night before?"
"yes."
"Where is the village where the beacon fire is burning?"
