None of the intruders answered the 'little giant's' questions. However, the 'little giant' was soon able to see the faces of the intruders.
He had a very embarrassed expression on his face and his body was trembling.
"Why you guys?"
"...."
The 'little giant' trembled with a very bewildered expression. At that moment, three Illinois Confederate warriors each brandished their weapons and cornered the 'little giant'.
A large club aimed at the head.
A sharp iron sword digs into my chest.
Then, the iron spear obtained from this village was aimed at the thigh of 'small chest'.
Wheeeeeek! Chaeng! Chaechaechaeng!
In the blink of an eye, the weapons collided violently and the 'little giants' fell back one after another.
"What are you trying to do? Don't you know who I am? I am the 'Little Giant', the chieftain and great warrior of the Peoria tribe!"
The Illinois Confederate warriors continued to attack despite his anger, exchanging glances and working together in unison.
"As we expected, the chief's skills have not rusted."
"It's not easy after all."
"Everyone, be careful."
The Illinois Confederate warriors continued their combined attack, once again driving the 'little giant' into a corner.
"These guys! They're determined to kill me. Everyone, come to your senses!"
The 'little giant' did not stay still either, and continued to block their attacks with his sword. However, little by little, wounds big and small began to appear on his body.
Swish! Wheeze! Paaaaat!
Things in the room were broken and shattered, and holes were created in the walls.
"I will show mercy for the last time. Put down your weapons and ask for forgiveness!"
No matter how great a warrior the 'little giant' was, he could not lie about his age. The 'little giant', who was struggling against the three great warriors, leaned against the wall and kept breathing heavily.
"What about forgiveness?"
"Don't bother us anymore, just die."
"Because that's the last thing I'll do as the chief."
Despite the 'Little Giant's' persuasion, the Illinois League warriors continued to attack with a strong murderous intent.
Aaaah!
The great warrior on the left fell to the ground screaming as he was struck by the sword wielded by the 'little giant'. At that moment, the warrior on the right took advantage of the gap and quickly thrust his spear towards the 'little giant'.
Phew!
The 'little giant', with a deep wound on his side, knelt on one knee with a pained expression. Then the Great Warrior's sword dug deep into his neck.
"no!"
The 'little giant', with blood spurting everywhere and his eyes fluttering, slowly fell forward.
"It's finally over."
There are only two survivors in the room. As if to show that it wasn't easy to subdue the 'little giant', the two warriors looked down at the corpse warrior on the floor, breathing heavily.
"You saved us."
"By the way, I don't know what's going on over there."
* * *
The terrified 'Peaceful Night' continued to complain to the warriors surrounding him as he backed away.
"What did I do wrong to you? Don't do this."
In particular, when even the Great Warrior, who was his closest aide, tried to kill him, 'Peaceful Night' was still unable to recover from the shock beyond the sense of betrayal.
"How could you do this?"
"I'll just pretend today never happened."
"Please! Save me!"
Blocked by a wall and with nowhere to retreat, 'Peaceful Night' begged for her life with tears in her eyes. At that moment, his closest aide, the great warrior, stepped forward, holding a dagger.
"sorry."
The dagger dug deep into 'Peaceful Night's' neck.
Phew!
After repeatedly making the sound of phlegm being cut off, 'Peaceful Night' slowly died on the spot.
"Now it's time to convince the warriors."
* * *
Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock!
As usual, as night fell, the eighteen buffalo cavalry of the 'Sun of the Sky' were circling around the village of 'Claws'.
"You are completely surrounded!"
"Surrender!"
"If you stay in the village, you will just starve to death!"
"If you surrender obediently, I will spare your life!"
The Illinois Confederate warriors standing guard on the walls were suffering greatly because of the buffalo cavalry urging them to surrender every four hours, day and night.
"Here we go again?"
"I can't even sleep, I'm going crazy!"
"Damn it! How many days have you been starving?"
"Right now, I feel like I should just surrender."
The Illinois Confederate warriors were growing increasingly dissatisfied with their chiefs and warlords after repeated failed escapes and depleted supplies.
After a while, the 'Sun of the Sky' Buffalo Cavalry returned to their camp to rest after safely completing their mission. And time passed and it was exactly three in the morning.
"Okay! It's time!"
"Everyone, get ready!"
Among the 'Ferocious Wolf' units stationed at the main gate of 'Claw' village, warriors standing guard began to gather one by one.
And when a certain number of warriors had gathered, the white general came out again and spoke.
"Speak loudly as usual! Hit your shield hard too. I believe you all will do well today."
Fifty warriors, each carrying a shield and spear, followed the white leader and ran forward.
"attack!"
As soon as the order was given by the white general, the fifty warriors shouted in unison and began to strike their shields with their spears without hesitation.
As if they were about to invade the 'Claw' village.
Waaa ...
The Illinois Confederate warriors on the walls couldn't help but feel nervous again. After a while, the 'Sun of the Sky' warriors who had finished their false attack returned to their camp.
"If I were an Illinois Confederate warrior, I'd turn around and go crazy."
"Of course. I couldn't sleep all night. If I were you, I would jump off the wall."
"Anyway, I did it under the orders of the Heavenly Master, but it seems to be quite effective. If you look during the day, the Illinois Federation warriors have dark circles around their eyes."
At that moment, the white general shouted loudly to the warriors.
"You worked hard today. Switch to the next shift."
* * *
The next day. Day was dawning on the prairie. The town of 'Claw', where Illinois Confederate warriors were stationed, was still under siege by 'Sun of the Sky' warriors.
Time passed and the afternoon came as the two camps engaged in a boring standoff. At that moment, the main gate of 'Claw' village suddenly became noisy.
"What is that?"
"Isn't that a corpse hanging on the wall?"
"I think that's right."
"First, let's report to the White General.
After a while, the 'Ferocious Wolf' who was in the temporary barracks came running after receiving the report.
'What do you want to do?'
The 'Ferocious Wolf' frowned at the two corpses hanging on the wall. At that moment, the Illinois Confederate soldiers on the wall shouted loudly in unison.
"I surrender! I surrender!"
The shouting continued for a while, then the main gate opened wide and the disarmed Illinois Confederate warriors cautiously walked out toward our camp.
"I surrender. Do not attack!"
"I want to meet the Shawnee chiefs!"
'Ferocious Wolf' looked at the current situation and had a rough idea of what happened last night.
'A rebellion has broken out.'
In fact, the 'Ferocious Wolf' had some expectation that the Illinois Confederates would surrender sooner or later. However, I never imagined that a rebellion would break out within the village.
"Cease attack!"
The 'Ferocious Wolf' quickly gave instructions to his warriors.
"Have a thorough examination of the Illinois Confederate warriors!"
"Relay this news to the 'Sharp Staghorn' unit at the back gate."
* * *
'Sun in the Sky' At the entrance to the Shawnee tribal territory. He led a powerful charge, leading three thousand warriors of the guard, made up of buffalo cavalry.
And as the wooded forest gradually disappeared, the prairie finally came into view in the distance.
Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock!
The buffaloes were panting and breathing heavily, apparently exhausted from moving for several days.
'It's time to get tired.'
The guardsmen moved rather more comfortably. Under the territory of the 'Sun of the Sky', you can stop by the Iri Tribe villages here and there to replenish supplies and rest safely.
"stop!"
As I shouted, the guardsmen stopped moving quickly.
"Heavy snowstorm! The buffaloes seem very tired. Let's take a short break here!"
"Understood. We will send a reconnaissance team to check the safety of the surrounding area."
'Heavy Snowstorm' formed a reconnaissance party centered around 'Clear Soul'.
"Scout out the area."
"All right."
The 'Clear Soul' and the scouts scattered in all directions without riding the buffalo. And the order to 'heavy snowstorm' was given to the rest of the guard warriors.
"After feeding the buffaloes, let's take a rest."
"Yes, Mr. Cheon In-jang!"
While the SS warriors rested and fed the buffalo, I walked to a quiet place to have some time alone to think. Of course, the 'Honest Bear' was following me from a distance, escorting me.
I found a suitable spot with some shade, sat down on a rock, and quietly opened the map window. A square transparent map window appears in front of your eyes.
'The Abnaki League and the Illinois League…'
If both alliances win the war, we will finally gain complete control of the Northeastern region of the United States that I have been longing for.
"The population seems to be quite large."
A survey of surrounding tribes by the Intelligence and Inspection Service found that the eastern part of the United States was more densely populated than the western part.
For a while, I sorted out my complicated thoughts and decided where to attack next.
"If you want to secure iron safely, you have to go north rather than south."
In particular, the area around the Great Lakes, which has world-class iron mines, must be conquered. First, the Wyandot (Huron) tribe will propose to their relatives, the Irie tribe, to enter the 'Sun in the Sky'.
And for the time being, they plan to focus on internal affairs and continue to expand their territory by absorbing minor tribes on the prairies through means other than war.
As the plans for the future were somewhat settled, the rest period for the guard warriors ended.
"Everyone, get ready to go."
"Yes, Mr. Cheon In-jang!"
The moment I slowly got up from my seat, a good idea occurred to me.
"The pioneering unit…."
It seems okay.

North of the lower reaches of the Merrimack River, Abnaki Federation encampment. Shocking news reached the hut where the chieftains of the Abnaki League were meeting.
"… … It is said that the Iroquois warriors, having won a great victory in the battle with the 'Sun in the Sky,' have taken over the Mohawk territory and are advancing into the Lenape territory."
For a while, the 'Sand to Wash Away' and the Abnaki League chieftains sat in silence, speechless. At that moment, one of the Abnaki Confederation chieftains asked with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Where did you hear that our warriors sent to the Mohawk tribe have not yet returned?"
"I heard it from the villagers near the garrison. And other villages are saying the same thing."
The Abnaki League Chieftain, who had just asked the question, spoke in a small voice, embarrassed by the young warrior's answer.
"If it's coming from several towns, it's probably true."
After a while, the inside of the hut became heated with the opinions of the Abnaki confederation chieftains.
"We must enter the Wampanoag tribe immediately."
"That's right. If by any chance the Iroquois Confederacy were to conquer the 'Sun in the Sky,' we would not be able to claim our Confederacy's rightful share later."
"The Iroquois Confederacy has gone with the flow of war, so we too must go with the flow."
"The Sand that Washes Away," who leads the Abnaki Confederacy, made a decision right away after taking into account the opinions of several chieftains.
"Understood. Tomorrow at dawn, we will strike from the 'Sun of the Sky' garrison across the river."
