If he rejected the request of the field commander of the US army stationed on Shrimp B1 Island, he would lose the full cooperation of the US army and conquering Kamando would undoubtedly become several times more difficult.
Adding on to the fact that the conditions proposed by Cole were really tempting, Zhang Lisheng nodded awkwardly and said, "Alright, General. I'll go talk to the Tudenan's leader now." After turning off the communicator, he fell into contemplation.
The attack on the human gathering place on the foreign world's island was launched by the 17 tribal alliances led by Samru, Pelungia and Eruya. The Kamando tribesmen were merely taking advantage of the situation. When they were attacked by the joint attack of the human steel warriors and the aircraft carrier fleet, the degree of damage suffered by both parties was completely different.
The tribal coalition forces lost one-third of their guardian spiritual monsters and several tens of thousands of powerful warriors, while the Kamando only lost less than 20 guardian spiritual monsters and several thousands of elite warriors with their partners.
What's more, even though the former was not in a state of disunity, it was still composed of 17 large and small forces after all. Once it was in an absolute disadvantage, it would easily collapse.
The latter, on the other hand, was very similar to Tudenan. It was also a Hellfire tribe that was fully dominated by a powerful existence and could exert a powerful strength from the beginning to the end as a whole.
"King of the Sierras, King of the Sierras …" Muttering the name of this spiritual monster whose position in the Kamando tribe was similar to his own in Tudenan, Zhang Lisheng stood up from the compacted mud.
After walking out of the Blessed Tree House, he ordered the dispatch warrior who came up to greet him, "Warrior, bring the highest-ranking chief warrior when the captives of the three tribes, Samru, Pelungia and Eruya, converted to Tudenan, to see me."
"Yes, Raider!" The warrior whose face was painted with red sap drove the giant millispiders with long and slender limbs to spread out. After more than ten minutes, he brought seven to eight strong aborigines into the huge tree house where the tribal book of history was enshrined.
As the most sacred place in Tudenan, the bark house enshrining the tribal book of history had become Zhang Lisheng's private office and bedroom. Waiting for the people to come, they kneeled on the ground and praised in unison. "Great Raider, you're our living faith, the tribe's legend and hope …"
He's the legend and hope of the tribe … "While sitting on the animal leather chair, he interrupted the aborigines' words and asked," Tell my believers, who had the highest position in your original tribe before you converted to Tudenan? "
"I, Great Raider, once had two feathers on my head in Samru!" A native who had his hair shaved clean and had a broad frame answered in a low voice.
"Great Raider, I was also the two-feathered chief warrior of the tribe when I was in Eruya." Then, another aborigine with a rather big skull replied in a slightly trembling voice.
The leader of the two-feathered warriors was the backbone of the tribe, but he was far from being a high-ranking person.
However, the longer the history and the more powerful the Hellfire tribe was, the more tribal leaders would be willing to be buried with the tribe when they were conquered. For tribes like Samru, Pelungia, and Eruya that had been passed down for thousands of years and had a population of more than 100,000 people, it was already because Tudenan was particularly powerful and tempting that there were two chief warriors who were willing to change their faith after they were annihilated.
Zhang Lisheng had single-handedly annihilated several dozens of Hellfire tribes so he was already very familiar with the customs of the Hellfire tribesmen. Even though he sighed that the miracle did not happen, he did not show any disappointed expression. "In that case, why don't all of you tell me your impression of the King of Sierras in the Kamando tribe first?"
When the young man uttered the name 'King of Sierras', the bodies of the aborigines kneeling on the ground became obviously stiff. A few of them even began to tremble slightly. Only the aborigine with a rather big skull did not lose his composure as he replied, "Great Raider, the King of Sierras is the most powerful spiritual monster on this island before you appeared.
Nobody knows how long he has ruled the Kamando. They only know that his name has appeared from time to time in many ancient legends.
He's the nightmare of Samru, Pelungia, and Eruya. No, I should say that he's the nightmare of all the Hellfire tribes on the entire island. If it wasn't for his stupidity and selfishness, the Kamando tribe would have long conquered the island. "
"Oh, why do you say this?"
"For thousands of years, the coalition forces of Samru, Pelungia, and Eruya have had countless battles with the Kamando tribe. However, no matter how big or small the battle was, the number of guardian spiritual monsters that appeared on the Kamando's side has never exceeded 30.
It's said that this is because the King of Sierras wants to monopolize most of the Kamando's offerings, so he doesn't allow the tribe to have more guardian spiritual monsters … "
"It sounds like his approach is very similar to mine." Zhang Lisheng frowned and blurted out.
"Great Raider! Y-You're completely different from the King of Sierras!" The big-brained aborigine said in horror. "You can bestow your spellcasting power to ordinary Hellfire warriors and let them replace the spiritual monsters to protect the tribe, making the tribe stronger day by day. It's because I've witnessed this magical power that I'm willing to convert to Tudenan.
The King of Sierras, on the other hand, is willing to give up the opportunity to conquer the entire island for the sake of coveting the Kamando's offerings and is unwilling to let the tribe recruit more powerful guardian spiritual monsters. Now, it has become a mountain antelope waiting to be slaughtered … "
"Oh, the Kamando is not a mountain antelope." Zhang Lisheng became silent for a while before sighing. "Have any of you encountered the King of Sierras on the battlefield before?"
"Great Raider, our lives are short so we've never seen the King of Sierras on the battlefield before. It's said that it will only show its powerful strength every 100 years to intimidate the tribe." This time, it was the bald aborigine warrior who answered the young man.
"It's said, it's said, it's said, it's said …" Zhang Lisheng sighed. "Looks like your understanding of this King of Sierras is also based on your imagination."
None of the aborigines answered. They merely tried to bury their heads lower on the ground.
Upon seeing that they answered with their silent actions, the young man sighed and asked the aborigines to retreat. After contemplating for a while, he ordered the dispatch warrior to call the Tudenan headman to come to him.
"Tugra, the King of Sierras has attacked the outlander's stone tribe and has already killed hundreds of warriors.
It gave in to us but attacked the outlander's tribe instead. It's obvious that its purpose is not simple. For this reason, I've decided to send troops to Kamando five days later and occupy the entire island in one fell swoop. "
"Raider, b-but as long as we wait for the sun to rise and set for another 40 times, the more than 1,000 newly blessed chief warriors who can cast spells in the tribe will wake up from their slumber and the 20,000 giant millispiders that have been fed to adulthood …" Upon hearing the Raider's decision, Tugra was stunned for a while before replying cautiously.
"But those outlanders don't have the patience to wait anymore. If we reject them this time and lose the help of those alchemy machines, it'll be several times more difficult for us to attack Kamando in the future.
Not only that, if we can conquer the Kamando tribe within five days, the outlanders will give us 12 big ships made of steel.
Those big ships don't need sails or manpower. They can run fast on the sea as long as they burn the wood. If Aruba can imitate this kind of steel ship, then it'll be much easier for Tudenan to conquer other islands in the future. "
"Yes, Raider!" Zhang Lisheng's stubbornness made Tugra have no choice but to obey. "I'll go and prepare right away."
After the Tudenan headman retreated, an anxious expression crept upon the young man's face.
After pondering about it, he took out the communication device from the animal skin bag on his waist and contacted Cole again. "I have good news for you, General. The Tudenan's leader has promised to attack Kamando five days later but he has a precondition."
"What condition?" Cole asked concisely and powerfully.
"In the evening five days later, you'll have to launch missiles and dispatch planes to carry out a round of high-intensity air strikes on Kamando that will last for at least 12 hours. At the same time, the Tudenan's army will set off from the tribe and they'll be able to reach the Kamando tribe in about one night.
At that time, the military will stop the air attack and Tudenan will launch a ground attack to capture Kamando in one fell swoop. "
"Is this the condition proposed by the monster who leads the C1 tribe? No problem, Mr. Zhang!" Cole agreed without any hesitation at all.
"There's one more thing. After annihilating the Kamando tribesmen, I hope you can bring the iron steamships here as soon as possible. This time, a large part of the reason why Tudenan is willing to attack Kamando in advance is because of the temptation of benefits.
If there's no iron ship, I may never be able to return home. "Zhang Lisheng pretended to sigh and said.
"Did those natives threaten you, Mr. Zhang?" Mr. Zhang? "Kola asked in a peculiar voice.
"It's not really a threat, but it seems like I can't leave the tribe now. I can't even go to the forest to collect experimental materials. This is the first time something like this has happened."
"How unfortunate! But don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I'll keep my promise."
"I've never worried that the US government would harm a generous billionaire and genius scientist for the sake of 12 ancient steamships, General." Zhang Lisheng said with an underlying meaning and turned off the communication device.
Five days passed by in the blink of an eye. In the evening, the Tudenan tribe's bonfire on Shrimp B1 Island had just been lit. Tens of thousands of well-equipped elite warriors, led by the tribal Raider, passed through the forest and rushed to the other end of the island.
In the dark night, the beasts would flee wherever the army passed by. In the vast jungle, there were only countless giant spiders silently climbing up the treetops and walking on the woodland from time to time.
Facing the final and also the most critical battle to unify the island, Zhang Lisheng sat cross-legged on Ghostface's back and looked at the distance calmly. However, deep in his heart, he could not help but have some turbulence.
After commanding the wizard gu to move forward for more than ten hours with a surging heart, he heard a series of explosions that gradually became clearer in the distance. Looking over from the treetops, he could see a sea of fire burning at the place where the night sky and the earth met.
