Chapter 362 "Wolf Cub"
It could be said that from any point of view, the situation in the prairie during this period of time was undoubtedly somewhat "laughable".
The sudden death of the Prairie King, coupled with the death of his two favorite sons, caused the originally united court to collapse.
In just ten days, what made people not know whether to laugh or cry was that there were five "Prairie Kings" in the prairie. Obviously, this was far from the final number.
Because the death was too sudden, the previous Prairie King did not appoint his successor. As for his remaining surviving sons, they immediately tore apart all hypocrisy for the throne of the king, and directly entered the main theme of killing.
Four days after the death of the Prairie King, tens of thousands of men and horses started a large-scale battle in the Prairie Royal Court. Those sturdy Prairie Cavalries chopped their own clansmen with their scimitars and trampled on the corpses of their clansmen.
Screams, screams, and killings lasted for a full four days. In the end, several weak sons of the Prairie King were uprooted and their tribes were annexed. The remaining four powerful princes finally stopped fighting when they were exhausted.
The grassland around the court had been stained with blood. Countless fallen bodies, burned tents, flags, and black smoke lingered. This was originally a sacred place in the prairie, but now it has become a land of death.
Four days of killing caused the once most powerful tribe in the prairie to suffer a huge loss. In the end, the four princes finally reached a tacit understanding. They gave up this kind of head-on fighting. When the first one of them began to retreat, the remaining three princes made the same choice at the same time.
The four exhausted beasts understood that they could not kill all of their opponents. In the end, they had no choice but to retreat and leave.
The once lively royal court quickly turned into a land of death. After the war, no one had the leisure to clean up the battlefield. The grassland here had been burned into a scorched earth. The smell of corpses filled the air. It had become a land of death.
The once most powerful tribe in the prairie had suffered a great loss. And this, without a doubt, also brought an opportunity for the other ambitious people in the prairie.
The customs of the prairie were different from that of the Roland people. The barbaric prairie people did not have the rule of "hereditary". They believed that the strong were respected. The throne of "King of the Prairie" was not passed down from father to son. Instead, it was passed down to the head of the strongest tribe.
Originally, the Grassland King's tribe was the most powerful tribe on the grassland. It had a population of several hundred thousand and had occupied the position of King of the Grassland and King of the Grassland for many years. However, after this battle, the tribe suffered heavy casualties. Over forty thousand sturdy warriors had died in these four days of fighting. Furthermore, during the competition for the population of the tribe, who knew how many ordinary people and herdsmen had died under the butcher's knife of the enemy.
In the end, the tribe, which had already suffered a great loss, was divided into four groups by the four princes!
When the four princes chose to leave with their subordinates — in fact, this basically announced the decline of the strongest tribe on the prairie!
Soon, within ten days, all the heads of the other tribes on the prairie received four letters written on sheepskin smeared with blood. Using sheepskin smeared with blood to convey an order was a symbol of the King of the Prairie.
These four "King's orders" came from the four princes. They all proclaimed themselves as the new Kings of the Prairie and asked all the tribes to listen to their orders and summons, gather their forces, and then suppress the "rebels".
Of course, the so-called rebels were their own brothers.
Only a few weak tribes accepted the summons of the King of the Prairie — and these weak tribes had no choice but to accept because the army of the split princes was not far away from their own tribes.
Most of the tribes, surprisingly, kept silent! There were even some large and powerful tribes that, after hearing about the split in the royal family, even sent people to whip the messengers out of the house without any hesitation. At the same time, they said, "The position of King of the Prairie needs to be elected by everyone. Since the King is dead, the new King should be elected by everyone. You little bastard, do you think you can give me orders? "
There were even some large tribes that immediately gathered their cavalry — they were not going to help a prince, but to "get a piece of the cake"!
In the originally powerful pride, the most majestic lion died. After the internal strife, the remaining four young lions tore at each other and were covered in wounds. Then, when they suddenly reacted, they found that a large number of malicious wolves had suddenly appeared around them!
The situation was more or less like this.
•
As the younger brother of the former King of the Prairie, Hamuye was once the King's trusted think tank. He was also the most familiar with the culture of the Roland people and was called the "only civilized person on the prairie" by the Roland nobles.
Of course, the "peace talk" with Du Wei also raised his status in the Prairie King's court by a lot.
After the civil war began, this smart guy immediately rejected his nephews' attempts to rope him in and ask for help. Then, overnight, he took all his people, even abandoning a lot of cattle and sheep, abandoned his own pasture, and took his army and people to leave the court as quickly as possible!
The smart Hamuye knew that soon, that place would become a land of death. If he continued to stay there, he would be involved in the battle and then perish!
His choice was very wise, because in just four days after the Imperial Court's civil war began, a few small tribes in the Imperial Court became cannon fodder in the war. Along with their masters, they were killed and made into "human skulls".
On the fifth day after Hamuye left the court, tens of thousands of people were exhausted in the process of migration. Then, he saw Saladin.
To be more precise, Saladin was leading 10,000 elite cavalrymen. Every cavalryman was wearing the best quality armor that only the Roland people had. The scimitars in their hands were all made from the finest iron of the Roland people. These ten thousand cavalrymen were like the dead that suddenly appeared in front of the migrating tribes. They were murderous, but they maintained a terrifying silence.
Then, the messenger sent by Saladin only brought one sentence to Hamuye.
"Uncle, either obey me or die."
Hamuye looked at his people behind him. His tribe was not strong. The population was only thirty thousand and the army was less than ten thousand. Coupled with the days of migration, the people were tired and the horses were tired. The other side was obviously prepared and was waiting here for the exhausted soldiers. If they turned hostile, Hamuye believed that the other side would only need two charges to crush his army.
More importantly, Hamuye was very self-aware. He knew that he was not a brave person. Unlike most of the prairie people, he preferred to use his brain instead of using his scimitar to solve problems. Even when the Prairie King was still alive, he acted as his brother's think tank most of the time.
Although his brothers trusted him, those sturdy generals didn't have a good impression of him. This was because he did not have a good reputation for bravery and he lacked brave generals under his command.
Therefore, Hamuye only needed to think for a short time before he made a decision.
"Everyone, put down your weapons."
•
When Hamuye saw Saladin again, his lowly nephew, he immediately saw a completely different temperament from before.
Sturdy, cunning, cruel …
This was not the same guy who kissed his brother's feet in the golden tent.
"From now on, you will follow me. I will be like … no, I will trust you more than that old man. "
When they met, this was the first thing Saladin said to his uncle.
Old man … Hamuye was not a fool. He could hear a trace of resentment in Saladin's tone. He thought of the prince's actions and the beautiful woman he gave to the King.
Is there a need to explain all of this?
What a ruthless wolf cub … the most important thing is that he can endure!
Short question, firm tone, and unquestionable tone.
Hamuye sighed in his heart. Perhaps this wolf cub can really become something.
No matter what, do I have a choice?
The surrendered tribesmen were already under control by Saladin's ten thousand elite cavalry. Hamuye's soldiers had already put down their weapons and were being reorganized. Moreover, looking at Saladin's well-equipped army, there must be someone behind him. Roland people! Otherwise, with his ability, how could he be equipped with so many elite weapons and armor?
Saladin was slightly dissatisfied with Hamuye's silence, so he quietly reminded his uncle.
"Uncle, I remember you once said that being half-hearted is not a good habit."
These words struck Hamuye's heart. He looked up at Saladin, and then he smiled.
He made up his mind. It doesn't matter if the person behind Saladin is Roland or not. He was now in the hands of Saladin. In order to live, in order to survive … he had no choice.
Hamuye made a very smart move. He raised his hands above his head, palms facing up, then lowered his head and kneeled down in front of Saladin. With a respectful voice, he said: "Honorable, great Lord of the Prairie, King of all tribes … I, Hamuye, am willing to surrender to you. I will be your eagle, your horse, your whip, and your scimitar … Your will is my mission! "
Then, without saying a word, Saladin looked at his uncle, the only "civilized" person in the Royal Court.
He was very satisfied with Hamuye's obedience. Then, he directly asked his question: "Uncle, can you give me any ideas about the current situation?"

More and more tribesmen gathered in the western part of the prairie. Including the four princes who proclaimed themselves as "Grassland Kings" and the dozen or so small tribes that followed them, there were more than two hundred thousand people gathered on this grassland.
A hundred kilometers away, there were three powerful tribes on the prairie that had sent over fifty thousand cavalrymen. They were eyeing the place covetously. Of course, nominally, they were only under the command of a certain 'king of the prairie', but they did not join the battle. They just watched from afar.
And even further away, some of the larger tribes were also ready to make a move.
The four princes were riding a tiger and could not get off. Unfortunately, they were not outstanding talents, and were even short-sighted. Arrogant and ambitious, they did not even realize that after the internal strife, their tribe had lost the prestige that once suppressed the entire prairie.
And that laughable position of "King of the Prairie" was not so easy to sit on. The "King's Orders" were looked down upon by the larger tribes. Those who came to submit were only the smaller tribes. And among them, there were many who had ulterior motives.
Now, they regretted. But in this situation, they had no choice! They had to fight on. If they retreated now, with their own strength, they would soon be swallowed by others.
The four princes only had one choice: to kill their other three brothers and take over their troops and tribesmen. Only then could they have the power to protect themselves!
Of course, they also made a common move at the same time. At the same time, they sent out brave messengers riding the fastest horses to the foot of the sacred Great Snow Mountain in the prairie. They wanted to see the great and omnipotent Shaman King!
If they could get the approval of the Shaman King, then their position as King of the Prairie would be secure!
Unfortunately, after the messengers were sent out, there was no news for many days. This situation made the four princes very anxious.
Finally, on this day, they received good news.
At the same time, the four "Kings of the Prairie" all received a secret letter. Someone used a bow and arrow to shoot into the camp from afar.
At the same time, the four "Kings of the Prairie" received a letter of "Vote of Integrity"!
