Looking at the subtle changes in the girl's expression, Baiyi could roughly guess what was going to happen next. When he heard from the Divine Warriors that the Steppe Barbarians had become more well-behaved, he had already guessed that the new Barbarian King did not want to have another conflict with the Alpine Barbarians, at least not in the short term. If that was the case, no matter how clumsy his words were, with the Divine Warriors by his side, it was unlikely that the other party would reject him.
The result was just as he had expected. After a moment of hesitation, the Barbarian King said, "Indeed, our Warrior Gala does not exclude outsiders. If you are really here to observe, of course, I will welcome you."
Actually, she had already thought it through. Since she could not reject them, she might as well let them in. Countless warriors from all the tribes under her command were gathered here and she had the War God's Sword in her hand. How could she be afraid of just four people?
After hearing the approval from the Barbarian King, Baiyi controlled the illusory face to smile and said, "I'm not just here to observe. I really want to participate in the Warrior Gala. I heard that the final winner of the Warrior Gala will be rewarded handsomely? If I win in the end, I will be able to take away these rewards too, right? "
Having said that, he looked at the Divine Warriors by his side and added, "Of course, they will not participate in the Warrior Gala."
Baiyi's words had basically made his intention clear. Immediately, the Barbarian King gripped the hilt of the sword on her waist. After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on her face as she said, "If you can win in the end, of course, you will be able to take away your rewards. We are not stingy towards true warriors."
The reason why she dared to say that was because the War God's Sword in her hand told her that the armored man was not powerful at all. According to the standard of the Southland, he was only at the Advanced level. That was nothing to be concerned about. There were a lot of strong and powerful warriors participating in the Warrior Gala.
What happened next was much simpler. The Barbarian King led some of the cavalrymen and left some of them behind to lead the way for the four of them. She led them into the territory of the Steppe King's Palace. It did not look as grand as a human palace. Compared to a normal tribe, the only difference was that the tents were bigger and more spacious. After all, they were nomadic people who lived by water and grass, so it was impossible for them to build a grand palace.
The ruling structure of the Steppe Barbarian was different from the feudal system of the human dynasty. There was no hereditary rule. Instead, it was based on a treaty that was made thousands of years ago. According to the treaty, the Khan who had the most men and the strongest horses would be the King of the Steppe and the other tribes would have to pledge their loyalty to him. However, the so-called King did not have a strong ruling power. The most important function of the King was to restrain those who killed others and robbed others of their territories and to arbitrate the disputes between the tribes. In reality, each tribe was still playing their own game. How much the King's orders were obeyed depended on the strength of the King's own tribe and whether the King's fists were strong enough to make the other tribes listen to him or not.
The only exception was the War God's Sword. If one was recognized by the War God's Sword, then the whole Steppe would worship him or her as the King. But normally, the War God's Sword would choose those Khans who were very powerful so that they would be like tigers that had grown wings.
Along the way, they passed by a few other tribes' campsites. The barbarians in those campsites were staring at the four of them with vigilant eyes. Looking around, Baiyi made an interesting discovery. So, he said in the Void, "Looks like the War God's Sword has chosen the wrong master this time."
They passed by the campsites of a few big tribes. The number of tents there was even more than the tents in the King's Court. There were also a lot of strong men. And these were just the ones who came to participate in the Warrior Gala. The scene in the main camp must be even more spectacular. That explained one thing. The tribe that was currently in charge of the King's Court was actually not that powerful. It was probably not as powerful as those big tribes.
"No wonder she was so easy to talk to. It turns out that she's not confident enough," The Thane said in the Void, "In my opinion, it's quite hard for her to be the King."
With the way the Steppe Barbarians ruled, if the tribe was not strong enough, even if the War God's Sword took over the throne, it was very likely that they would not be able to command the people outside of the King's Court. That explained why the King seemed to be quite friendly to them.
"No wonder the border has been peaceful for so many years. With such a strange King, I'm afraid they can't even solve their internal problems, right? In my opinion, a lot of tribes must be secretly accumulating their strength in preparation to replace the Alpine Barbarians at any time. Naturally, they would not provoke the Alpine Barbarians and waste their strength. As for herself, she's even less likely to do so. If her tribe continues to bleed, her rule will be in jeopardy. "The Archmage was half a peer of the Great King, so he gave a brief analysis of the current situation.
"I'm very curious. If she suddenly loses the War God's Sword, what will happen to her?" The Lich suddenly said.
"No Tragedy!"
"Silver Fall!"
"Meat Slave!"
"Plaything!"
"Lust Pufferfish!"
Baiyi cast a Silence Spell on all of the people who mentioned the five possible endings. Even Bamboos would not set all of them to be the Demon Beast Path, okay? Then, he said, "Nothing much will happen. She will just obediently abdicate the throne and bring her tribe away from the King's Court to develop from scratch. Their Covenant will protect the abdicated tribe. After all, no one can guarantee that their own tribe will always be strong. But, whether this tribe will make a comeback or continue to decline and be annexed by someone else, that's another matter. "
"Then let's go and snatch that sword!" The Lich continued to instigate, "You've been out here for so long and spent so much effort. How can you not get something out of it? I've heard of that sword before. It's quite magical. "
"Calm down. That sword will choose its own master. How can it be so easy to snatch it? And even if I manage to snatch it, so what? Do you think I'll really become their King? "Baiyi asked, amused.
"I think you don't have to worry about that. Most of them probably want this sword to disappear, don't you think?" The Lich said with a strange smile.
Hmm, that does make sense, doesn't it? But killing and snatching the sword should be put aside for now. Let's save the hostages first.
After the elite cavalrymen entered the King's Court, many barbarians rushed out of their tents and pointed at the four of them, whispering to each other.
"Are these the Alpine Barbarians who eat people? Oh my god! Those muscles are like rocks! They're so scary! "
"Look at the strongest one among them. It's so colorful. What a joke!"
"Isn't this goat very scary? Is this the legendary Alpine Battle Goat? Why does a goat look like this? "
The situation made Zar'Zar and Char'Char extremely unhappy. The spears in their hands were already thirsting for blood. If it was not for the Barbarian King who came out in time to disperse the crowd, Baiyi's plan would have been ruined.
After chasing away the nosy bystanders, the four of them were arranged to stay in a tent that was further away. It seemed quiet, but it was located in a low-lying depression. It was convenient for the nearby cavalrymen to surround and charge from above. At the same time, it was also a good place to monitor the movements of the four uninvited guests.
"This group of weak ants is really too annoying. Don't they know that with their weapons and strength, they can't pose a threat to us at all?" Zar'Zar said unhappily the moment he entered the tent, "If it wasn't for Brother Hope's plan, I would've killed them all long ago!"
Although they were annoyed, the Divine Warriors were not creatures whose brains were made of rocks. At least they knew how to control their words and actions. Along the way, they still kept their promise with Baiyi.
When the servants arranged by the Barbarian King came in with a big pile of food, including a whole roasted calf, the anger in the Divine Warriors' hearts finally subsided. They surrounded the food and started to gobble down the food like a tornado. The servants looked at them as if they had seen a monster and quickly retreated.
Thank goodness they did not bring the whole roasted goat up. Baiyi had to admit that the Barbarian chefs were smart.
When night fell, Baiyi took out his previous body from his storage pouch. It was the classic militia full body armor. At the same time, he laid the sorcerer armor on top of the animal skin blanket and even cast a simple spell on it so that the body of the armor would undulate slightly, making it look like it was sleeping.
"Brother Hope, how did you do this?" Zar'Zar asked in a low voice.
"I'll explain the details to you when I come back." Baiyi put on the black cloak that was made of curtain cloth and turned back into the mysterious man in a black robe. He continued to say, "Wait for me here. No matter what happens, don't act rashly and don't kill anyone, okay?"
"Don't worry," Huskar promised as he patted his chest.
Baiyi nodded his head and immediately activated the Shadow Assassin's Stealth Technique. He disappeared without a trace in front of the three Divine Warriors' eyes.
The two young Divine Warriors' eyes widened in surprise. Quickly, they asked in a low voice, "How did he disappear just like that?"
"What a miraculous brother. No wonder he was recognized by the ancestors," Huskar muttered thoughtfully.
Baiyi used Stealth to sneak out of the tent and within a few steps, he found a few sentries hiding in the bushes. It seemed like the Barbarian King was quite afraid of them. However, with the level of these barbarians, it was almost impossible for them to see through the Stealth of the Shadow Assassin. He walked right past those sentries without them noticing at all.
