Rather than killing the Malasit tribe warriors, 'Roaring Thunder' took an attack stance with nimble movements, holding a wooden club instead of an axe, as if trying to subdue them.
There are five warriors of the Malishit tribe, including the great warrior. Armed with archaic weapons such as clubs and stone spears, the Malasit tribe warriors charged, surrounding the 'Roaring Thunder' with the Great Warrior at the center.
At that moment, two sharp spears came in from both ends, aiming for the left flank and right thigh of 'Roaring Thunder'.
"The attack is too clumsy."
'Roaring Thunder' laughed mockingly and moved to the right, simultaneously striking the spear aimed at his thigh with his club.
And again, he stomped his foot and struck the chest of the Malasit tribe warrior on his right with his club.
Phew!
A loud thud rang out, and the Malisht warrior, struck in the chest, fell backwards.
"One person finished."
'Roaring Thunder', who had easily subdued one Malasit tribe warrior, charged towards another Malasit tribe warrior that was in front of him.
"You can't lose your mind during battle."
The Malasit tribe warrior, seemingly taken aback by the repeated attacks of the 'Roaring Thunder', hurriedly backed away and swung his club wildly.
Exactly! The 'Roaring Thunder' that blocked the club by swinging the club upward did not miss the chest of the defenseless Malasit tribe warrior.
He threw his body and caught the club with his back, striking it precisely on the enemy's designated area.
Aaaah!
With a painful scream, the Malasit tribe warrior collapsed on the spot, holding his stomach as if he could not breathe properly.
"Two people finished."
At that moment, the Malasit tribe warrior in the center thrust his spear with all his might.
"It's quite spicy."
As if it had already seen through the attack, 'Roaring Thunder' rolled over without stopping its run and easily dodged the spear of the Malasit tribe warrior.
'Roaring Thunder' landed on the ground in a stable posture, his eyes shining fiercely, and he quickly swung his club left and right.
Crash!
As the Malasit tribe warrior fell to the ground after being hit in both legs with a club, 'Roaring Thunder' attacked him mercilessly.
Once, twice, three times. A Malasit tribe warrior who was struck repeatedly in the chest and shoulder fainted on the spot from the impact.
"Three of you, finished."
Even after a brief moment of relaxation, 'Roaring Thunder' was soon faced with a crisis. A spear thrust from behind towards the back and a club struck down towards the head from the front.
The conflict was short-lived, and 'Roaring Thunder' boldly chose a club.
"Poohahahahahaha! That's right. This is how fighting tastes."
Laughing like a madman, 'Roaring Thunder' twisted his body to avoid the stone spear. However, the club could not be avoided.
'Roaring Thunder', who had been hit with a club on his shoulder instead of his head, charged forward with a grotesque expression and swung his club with some strength without hesitation.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Malasit warrior, struck repeatedly in the jaw and shoulder, fell to the ground, blood spraying everywhere.
"Oh, sorry! I overused my hands without realizing it."
Suddenly, he turned around and faced the Malishit tribe warrior, and 'Roaring Thunder' smirked with mad eyes.
"Hahaha! Now there are only two left. Let's have a cool fight."
"You crazy bastard!"
The Malasit tribe warrior answered with a trembling voice, as if he was overwhelmed by the momentum of the 'roaring thunder'.
"That's right. You crazy bastard. Go!"
'Roaring Thunder' rushed forward, striking down the spears of the Malasit tribe's warriors with his club. The Malasit tribe warrior felt a chill in his hand holding the spear, and was once again amazed by the power of the 'roaring thunder'.
"What is it? Are you a great warrior?"
As the roaring breath of the 'Roaring Thunder' was felt right before his eyes, the Malasit Tribe's warrior instinctively knew that he was in danger and his eyes widened for a moment.
As expected, a large club flew towards his chin.
Phew!
The Malishit tribe warrior slowly leaned to the side, his body trembling.
Crash!
'Roaring Thunder' grumbled as he shook off his bloody club as he looked at the Malasit Tribe warrior lying on the ground.
"Am I stronger, or are they weaker?"
He turned his head and sounded a final warning to the remaining Malasit tribe warriors who were standing there with their 'Roaring Thunder' standing there.
"Choose whether you will be defeated and subdued like this, or surrender meekly."
The Malasit tribe warriors looked back and forth between the 'Sun of the Sky' warriors and the 'Roaring Thunder' warriors who surrounded them, aiming their bows at them, then simultaneously dropped their weapons.
"I surrender."
"Don't hit me."

West of the middle reaches of the Kaskaskia River.
Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock!
The Royal Guard warriors were moving towards the 4th District stronghold village, taking the Kaskaskia tribesmen with them, the last village.
In the distance, the 'Clear Soul' was leading a hundred warriors of the Royal Guard, and was patrolling the area. Occasionally, the Illinois Confederates would wander the plains in small groups of about twenty people, living a nomadic life.
At that moment, 'Clear Soul' sent an urgent signal to the main unit, and 'Heavy Snowstorm' approached and reported to me.
"I think I've found some nomadic Illinois Confederates. Should I capture them again?"
So far, I have encountered four nomadic tribesmen while traveling along the river.
"You'll have to bring them to the base village later anyway. Don't be too rough with them, and persuade them well to bring them."
"All right."
As soon as I gave permission, 'Heavy Snowstorm' instructed several of the SS warriors to send a signal.
Peeeeeee!
A long whistle rang out, and before long the 'Clear Soul' scout party was speeding away and disappearing from sight.
A short time later, the 'Clear Spirit' brought in a group of less than twenty members of the Illinois Confederated Tribe.
As expected, they were from a minority tribe.
"great job."
"No. Then, I will continue to scout the surroundings."
'Clear Soul' answered vigorously and led the reconnaissance party, which had been replaced by other guardsmen, towards the front once again.
'It's sturdy.'
Up until now, 'Clear Soul' has never made a mistake while running a scout unit. I looked at her with trusting eyes and activated 'Resource Scan' again in the new area.
'Resource Scan!'
As I looked, I began to see resources buried underground. At that moment, a notification sounded in my head.
[Tiring!]
[A huge amount of buried coal has been discovered.]
When I raised my head, the location of the coal deposits was displayed in small letters on the map window, each with its own unique mark.
'Coal again.'
So far, only three coals have been discovered in the Illinois Confederation District 4. This will mark four coal locations on the map window.
Of course, there were two places on the map where limestone was buried.
'This area seems to have a lot of coal and limestone.'
Since I had really hoped that iron ore would be discovered, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"We need to keep scanning while looking around other areas."

A town in the lower reaches of the Kaskaskia River, a stronghold of the Illinois Confederate Territory.
"Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"The last remaining Royal Guard warriors have returned!"
I returned safely to the base village and was warmly welcomed by the warriors of the 'Sun of the Sky'.
"Are you here? Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"You came later than us."
The 'Ferocious Wolf' and 'Sharp Antlers', who I was supposed to meet at the base village in District 4, arrived first and greeted me.
"Go to the village hall."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
A little later, at the town hall, we heard from 'Ferocious Wolf' and 'Sharp Horn' how they had attacked and subjugated the Illinois Confederate tribes.
Fortunately, only a few SS soldiers were seriously injured, and no one was killed. Anyway, I just need to make sure that the warriors don't die thanks to my healing abilities.
"Thank you for your hard work. I guess I'll be busy for a while trying to stabilize the Illinois Federation region."
Although they had conquered all of the Illinois Confederate territory, it was important to stabilize and manage it afterwards.
I decided to leave the Illinois Confederate territory to these two.
"The central government will provide you with full support, so cooperate well with other chiefs of the Shawnee tribe and focus on stabilizing this region for the time being."
"Understood. I will do my best to transform the Illinois Confederated Tribes people into the 'Sun of the Sky' people, centered around the stronghold village."
"Your Majesty the Emperor! In order to govern the people of the Illinois Confederacy without any major complaints, it seems necessary to have ample food. So please pay special attention to food."
The handover was roughly completed with 'Ferocious Wolf' and 'Sharp Antlers' answering in turn. I took out a few bottles of fruit wine that I had prepared in advance.
"It seems like the war with the Abnaki League isn't over yet, so I'd like you to enjoy this drink today. Later, when the war is over, I'll send you and your warriors a large quantity of alcohol separately. Until then, just hold on for a little while longer."
'Sharp Antlers' answered with a disappointed expression.
"Well, there's nothing I can do. The war isn't over yet… But it's still a shame. Your Majesty the Emperor!"
The 'Ferocious Wolf' looked at the 'Sharp Antlers' with pitiful eyes and then spoke with his still undisturbed posture.
"I am satisfied with this, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
The 'sharp deer antlers' were looking at the 'fierce wolf' in disbelief and swearing with their eyes. The strange chemistry between the two brought a smile to my face.
"Then, shall we drink?"
The 'Ferocious Wolf' cautiously opened his mouth again.
"It seems like a lot for just us to drink. How about calling the other great warriors and drinking together? Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"Hahaha! I think so too."
'Sharp Antlers' smiled awkwardly and glared at 'Ferocious Wolf' again as if he was unlucky. Other great heroes include 'Heavy Snowstorm', 'Honest Bear', and 'Clear Soul'.
Phew!
"Call them."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
* * *
The next day. Last night, after a quick drink with the warriors, I had a quick lunch at the base village and prepared to leave for the Iri tribe's territory.
As we emerged from the town hall fully armed, the SS warriors were ready to leave, waiting.
"Are you here? Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"okay."
As always, the captain of the guard, 'Heavy Snowstorm', came out to greet me. At that moment, a commotion broke out among the Illinois League people who were watching us from afar.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! I am the Kaskaskia Tribe's great warrior, the 'Stone of Faith'. Please take me with you."
Of course I know who he is. The 'Stone of Faith' continued to scream as he struggled between the 'Sun of the Sky' warriors who were blocking him.
"Heavy snowstorm! Looks like I'll have to deal with it myself. Just wait a moment."
"All right."
I turned and walked towards the Kaskaskia Tribe's Great Warrior.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor! Although I haven't been able to show my true abilities, I can fight quite well. I am confident that if you take me with you, I won't cause much trouble to Your Majesty the Emperor."
I checked his abilities with my mind, but by our standards, he was not at the level of a great warrior. However, the loyalty of the 'Stone that Keeps Faith', who thoroughly believed in me as 'Manito and Kichi', was sincere.
After a moment of hesitation, I spoke to the 'stone that guards the faith.'
"If you faithfully perform your forced labor and successfully complete basic training at the training camp, then I will appoint you as a warrior in my personal guard."
"yes?"
The 'Stone that Guards Faith' hesitated for a moment with a disappointed expression, then silently accepted the current reality.
"I understand, Your Majesty the Emperor! I will definitely become a warrior in the Royal Guard and serve Your Majesty the Emperor."
"Don't expect it."
I slowly turned around, looking at the 'stone that guards the faith' with sparkling eyes, pledging its determination.
'Hmm! Should we change the forced labor law?'
It was necessary to revise and supplement the law to some extent, even for those who faithfully performed forced labor and those who had already become part of the 'sun in the sky'.
After a while, I came out of the stronghold village and shouted loudly towards the guard warriors.
"Let's go here. At full speed!"
"Full speed!"
* * *
Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock!
He was moving quickly toward Shawnee territory, herding a herd of buffalo with three thousand of his personal warrior guards.
"You have to attack from the side with the most pups!"
"To the left!"
The voices of the great warriors could be heard from all directions, and I, who was in the rear, habitually activated 'Resource Scan'.
At that moment, I almost screamed when I saw the enormous amount of resources that were in front of my eyes.
'I never thought I'd find this here.'
