Chapter 172

After being defeated by Erik Kermango in a challenge and admitting defeat, Mbaku brought his tribesmen back to the mountains and once again lived a life of seclusion and indifference.

It was only when Chen Mo and Erik Kermango arrived that the peace on the mountain was once again broken.

Although the Jabari tribe had always been outside of the Wakanda Kingdom's governance, living alone in the high mountains, they were basically in a state where they did not listen to the king's orders.

However, this was only due to their different ideals of tradition and lifestyle. They still recognized themselves as members of Wakanda, acknowledged the king's position, and obeyed his orders.

It was just that they usually did not directly participate in government affairs, and the previous king, Terchaka, had always allowed them to stay out of it. The development of the kingdom did not need them.

This group of tall, strong, barbaric, and warlike ape warriors had no other use for them other than war. Wakanda, who pursued a policy of seclusion, did not need to wage war against the outside world. They only needed to maintain the stability of the borders and prevent outsiders from entering Wakanda's interior.

And these tasks were completely up to the task of border tribes.

Therefore, for decades, the Jabari tribe had stayed away from the various affairs of Wakanda, living a unique and primitive life. Gradually, they were forgotten by the other tribes. Many young citizens of the kingdom had only heard of their existence and knew that there was such a special tribe in Wakanda. Some did not even know of their existence.

In fact, although they pursued different lifestyles and concepts, they had never questioned their identity as a part of Wakanda. They had never thought of leaving Wakanda. They worshipped the strong and desired great power. The guardian of Wakanda, the Black Panther, had greater power than them. They were willing to become his people and obey his orders.

Before this, Mbaku had heard that King Terchaka had voluntarily given up the throne to an outsider who had suddenly appeared. That was why he had brought his people to the waterfall pool where the challenge ceremony was held to issue a challenge to Erik Kermango.

In the past, although they did not agree with some of King Terchaka's decisions, they chose to acquiesce and did not jump out to oppose him. Because he was the Black Panther, the strongest king of Wakanda!

And this new king who had suddenly appeared did not win the throne by defeating the Black Panther. Instead, Terchaka had voluntarily given up the throne to him.

This was unacceptable to Mbaku.

In Mbaku's opinion, only the strongest warrior was qualified to become the king of Wakanda and lead them. If Erik Kermango had defeated Terchaka the Black Panther in a fair duel and won the throne by relying on his greater strength than the Black Panther, Mbaku would not have appeared. He would have continued to stay in the mountains with his people, waiting for the king's orders at any time.

However, Erik Kermango had still won the challenge through his own strength, proving that he was qualified to become the king of Wakanda and lead the five major tribes.

And this time, Erik and Chen Mo's arrival had surprised Mbaku.

This was the first time in decades that the king of Wakanda had come to the Jabari tribe. And Erik Kermango's style was obviously different from Terchaka's, so Mbaku had some speculations in his mind.

In the Jabari tribe's hall on the cliff, Mbaku personally welcomed King Erik Kermango and the mysterious Easterner, Chen Mo.

"What is the king doing in the Jabari tribe?"

Mbaku was straightforward and did not beat around the bush. He asked the question in his mind directly.

"I need your warriors to fight for me!"

Erik Kermango saw that Mbaku was straightforward and did not beat around the bush. He directly stated the purpose of this trip.

"Fight?"

Mbaku's eyes flashed with excitement.

"I have a plan."

Erik Kermango said slowly.

…

By the time Chen Mo and Erik came out of the Jabari tribe, the entire tribe had been mobilized. All the elite warriors had gathered, brought their weapons, and rushed down the mountain to the capital of Wakanda.

There, together with the elite warriors of the border tribes and the other three major tribes, as well as the elite agents of War Dog, they were ready to carry out the decapitation operation.

For the Jabari tribesmen who worshiped strength and loved fighting, fighting was their favorite thing. But because of King Terchaka's reclusive strategy, they could only live in the deep mountains and fight with the beasts in the mountains, using them to hone their fighting skills and accumulate experience.

But what they really desired was a real fight. The most powerful hunter was just a hunter, and they were real warriors!

Warriors should fight their enemies on the battlefield, not fight with animals in the mountains.

Erik Kermango's plan to unify Africa received the full support of the entire Jabari tribe. This was the life they wanted.

And the Jabari tribe was worthy of being the strongest tribe in Wakanda. Just the elite warriors they had sent out were already equal to the total number of people selected by the other four major tribes and War Dog.

Almost every adult Jabari tribesman was a powerful hunter, and they were strong enough to complete the difficult decapitation mission.

This operation was not as simple as killing people. Thousands of warlords, big and small, all over Africa had to be eliminated in a short period of time.

The African continent was very vast, and the long distance alone had seriously hindered the rapid progress of the operation. Fortunately, Wakanda's technology was a level ahead of the rest of the world. Wakanda's fighter jets were extremely fast, and they could greatly reduce the time spent on the journey.

But as mentioned before, Wakanda's foundation was still too weak. The technology of the fighter jets was very advanced, but their numbers were very few. There were only a few dozen of them in the entire kingdom, and it was not enough to complete the mission. Fortunately, the manufacturing of fighter jets was not difficult, and the time needed was not too long. So after a short period of repair and preparation, when all the fighter jets were in place, the decapitation operation could officially begin.

And the commander in charge of the entire operation was not Wakanda's defense chief, Wakabi, nor was it King Erik Kermango himself. It was the mysterious Easterner who had always been by the king's side, and was obviously highly regarded by the king, Chen Mo!

Many people were unconvinced that this Oriental man, who had been following Eric Kermango since he appeared but had not taken any action, had become their commander. He was like an invisible person.

Among them were the border tribe chief, Wakabi, and the Jabari tribe chief, Mbaku!

Both of them were pure warriors, and they believed in the strong. Although Chen Mo looked tall and strong, compared to the ape-like Mbaku, his body was slightly slender, and he did not look as wild and ferocious as them.
