Chapter 230 The Abandoned Tribe

After the three men took orders to go in, Li Yunna also went down and sat down on the broken wall.

The monster man is slowly coming this way, let me have no sense of urgency.

I asked her, "Yuna, do you regret coming out with me this time?"

Li Yunna smiled: "no ah, who also didn't expect to be this situation."

"I told you not to come. You had to come. We don't know what will happen next." I'm more worried about her than I am about myself.

"It's all right, Oba. I was the one who insisted. Won't you come down and have a rest?"

"They'll be here in a minute. I'll keep an eye on them."

Five or six minutes later, the three of them returned.

"Well?" I asked the three of them.

Jompo said, "Chief, there is a lot of room inside, but it is very dilapidated. There is no hiding place to hide."

Two others said they observed similar things.

"It will not be easy to escape them here," added Zompo.

"Fight here, then, and move on." There were too many of them, and now that we had something to fall back on, it was only natural that we should take them down a peg or two. After a few iterations, when their crew is so depleted that we don't have to go to any extra trouble, we can get rid of this disturbing tail.

"A war?" All three looked puzzled and frightened.

I carefully made arrangements, the three of them understood, separate. I asked Li Yunna to follow me on her alpaca. The two of us hid together behind a wall at the edge. I paid attention to the perimeter view. It's a good place to shoot.

"Oba, let me fight, too." Li Yunna proposed: "I use a pistol dozen."

In the past, I wouldn't have said yes, but now one more person is one more force, which is naturally a good thing. After a moment's thought I said yes, especially to her, that she should stay close to me, and that if she got separated, she might lose her life here.

Li Yunna HMMM.

A team of ogres soon emerged from the edge of the horde through the trench, and I took advantage of the opportunity to shoot one. In their panic, I turned and walked away. Reload as you go. He went behind another wall before he fired again. Li Yunna had fired several shots in the meantime.

"Oba, I got one, too."

I pointed to the back wall. "Keep retreating that way."

She walked away, watching the monsters come my way, and WHEN I fired, I retreated. One shot and a retreat, which would keep us safe, and give us enough time to change cartridges.

After doing this several times, the monsters began to disperse and search the horde.

Gunfire rang out as I led Li yuna back to the other side of the tribe. When we saw the three of them coming from different directions, we ran quickly across the ditch and ahead.

There were only a few cries from the ogre and then they died away.

After running for half a day, the big mountain came into sight. The other side stopped pressing us, and we stopped. When the fire was kindled, I asked, "Count them all."

"Three of me."

"Two for me, and three for me."

"Two of me, too, hurt two."

"Yes, more than a dozen." This time, we were all unharmed, which is a big profit.

"Tomorrow, chief, we're going into the mountains." Zombu said, "What will I do then?"

"Same as usual, a few snipers. Fight and run to buy yourself some more time. Just dump them."

"I wonder if we'll meet another army of ogres when we get back."

"Hard to say. Just run. The enemy is strong and we are weak. There is nothing we can do." Without losing the horses, it wouldn't take long to get back to Bukgu.

When the rolls were done, everyone ate them straight away. I was really hungry.

When we were eating, we heard something and got up to see five or six monster men on alpacas coming, less than a kilometer away from us.

They all panic, hurriedly start to pack things.

Only five or six people showed up, which made me realize that things might not be so bad. "Don't worry," he said. "Look at the situation and load the pistols."

When they had reached a distance of two hundred meters, they also stopped and lingered for a moment. They shouted to us that they had not come to fight, but had something to talk to us about.

"Come here." I shouted back.

The men walked 50 meters away and stopped again.

After one of them unfurled a piece of fur, the other shouted, "We came to thank you for killing a few of us so we could eat fresh meat."

"For this?" I feel like THERE's something wrong with my understanding.

"Just for this." He went on, "We'll be joining up with the other teams soon. Your days are numbered. And give you some of our stuff."

Then a sack of flour and a big piece of meat were thrown to the ground.

"Chief, let's kill these five first." "Said Jongbu eagerly.

"Come on, now that we've got five of them, the ogres might attack suddenly. We can't provoke them anymore. We have no advantage here on the plain." Every decision we make can mean the difference between life and death.

When they were far away, I sent a man with Zombo to fetch the things. A bag of flour, and a piece of meat weighing forty or fifty pounds, with a thigh, all lean meat. It's very appetizing.

I opened the flour bag and examined both items carefully. They were clean and showed no sign of anything being planted. Still, I had two more aborigines examine me, who were from Brass Island and knew more about poison.

After two people look carefully, also say no problem.

"Then carry back to eat, do not want for nothing."

"Oba, what if the poison is colorless and tasteless?" Li yunna asked.

"Is there really such poison?" My suspicions were more or less implicated.

Li Yunna once take indecisive idea: "seem to have? Isn't the whole world full of wonders?"

"Chief, this bag of flour can not, that this meat in the end to or not ah?"

"What do you think?" I asked deliberately.

There are three people looking at each other.

"Why don't YOU let me eat first and then you can if I'm all right?"

"How can you, for a mouthful of food, even die?"

"There are only five of us. If you die, there will be only four of us."

I took out my dagger and cut a piece of the alpaca meat, then cut it into thin strips. Feed it to one of the alpacas. Although alpacas are vegetarian, you can feed them strips of meat and they will eat some.

"Chief." Zong Cloth runs over: "If the alpaca is poisoned, we have less mount, also can't eat its meat."

"Since everyone wants meat, something must be sacrificed to see if it is poisonous. One less alpaca would be fine." The size of an alpaca can support the weight of two people.

When we were done, we went back to the fire. No one's eating the rolls now, and they're all waiting intently for the alpaca to react. An hour later, when we saw the alpaca still alive and kicking, we knew. Cut the meat and set the barbecue on fire.

The smell and fat of the alpaca meat filled the air, and several people only swallowed. Although we didn't eat meat for a few days, our life was too bitter. You can imagine a strong desire for meat.

After a heavy meal, alpaca meat is only about two-thirds of the way down. Several people were lying on the ground, clutching their bellies.

"Why are those people bringing us meat, Oba?" Li Yuna looked at me, her eyes full of doubt and curiosity.

"Didn't you hear him? They'll soon join the others, and we can't get away. I think they think we're well armed. You want to take us back and ask the gods for their help. Make sure we're all healthy, of course."

"But we killed so many people. They should have picked up guns and ammunition. Why did they use their own guns when they could have killed us with ease?"

"Because it doesn't load." I noticed this when I first saw the monster man's gun. Their guns can hold ten rounds at a time, and each reload is triggered by a button that controls a spring. With our rifles, it's more complicated to pull the plug and clean the casings. And I never had high hopes for the intelligence of the monster.

Li Yuna yawned and stopped the subject, took the skin from the sheep's hump, laid it down and said hello to me before lying down to sleep.
