Chapter 225 The Raid

When Agger, who was dining alone with us, entered the dining-room, he saw a very old man sitting in the upper seat. His eyes widened as we entered.

Agger said, "Chief, this is my abba. He has been giving me the position of chief since last year. I have brothers ahead of me, but they are gone."

Seeing that this was the man who had been to the place where the gods lived, I was very excited. When he went up to say hello, he found that although the old man was old, he was conscious and his stammer was clear.

When Agger explained our situation to him and came, he waved his hand: "Young man, the gods are not defeated. You had better go back."

I asked, "Has your tribe been struck by the gods?"

The old man said yes and held out his hands. "They came many times, but we drove them away."

"You have defeated the gods many times. How can you say that the gods are invincible?"

The old man waved his hand: "Our tribe can drive away the servants of the gods by relying on the river, but the gods are invincible. They had many servants and great palaces. He can do magic, too. Can kill many people at once with fire."

"We are not afraid. With all the tribes, we can defeat the gods. You have to trust us." I understand how he feels, but I need something from him, and I need to be kind.

The old man grinned and pointed to Agger. "You, like my son, think you are young enough to do anything I can do, and SO did I when I was young... Otherwise I would not have been taken by the servant of the gods."

"And you escaped, too, which is not often done." I showed my admiration.

This pleased the old man. He nodded and said, "WHEN I was young, I was so strong that ten men together could not beat me. I killed several of the gods' servants when I got out. I took their long-necked beasts and their guns, and ran away five or six days before I came back."

"Do you remember where the gods live?" I had to get all the important information out of him while he was in the mood.

"Yes, yes." The old man reached into his coat and, trembling, pulled out a piece of animal skin. When he unfolded it, he saw a map painted on it. "Look, THIS is a map I drew when I came back. Walk past us, through the woods, the mountains... Beyond this is the place where the gods live, and there is water all around it as far as the eye can see."

The maps were very detailed, showing things along the way in pictures, but also very concise.

Telling of his pride, the old man handed me the map. "You must want it very much... I'm not giving it to you."

You couldn't help but laugh at the way he crumpled up a map of hides and stuffed it under his clothes like a child.

Then the meal was brought and we returned to our places.

It was probably a long time since he had seen an outsider, someone from the old world, and he couldn't stop. He was old 30 years ago, but he was strong, and if they took him now, he'd never make it back. He wondered how the Temple of Heaven could not be finished after thirty years of construction.

We listened to his ramble as we ate.

After eating, he came up sleepy. After being helped along, Agger beckoned us to take our time. He had to go.

When he came back, he put the skin map on my dining table.

"You just took it. Won't your dad be happy when he wakes up?"

"Just keep it," said Agger. "He's blind. I'll just replace him with a hide.

"Thank you, thank you." I'm very grateful for that.

After the meal, Agger was very active in discussing with me the steps and plans to contact the tribes and attack the devas together. Finally, we decided that he would send people to contact the other tribes, and we waited here with peace of mind. But he also made a demand that, after defeating the gods, the weapons of the servants of the gods should be theirs. Everything else can be divided equally.

I came to this world, one is to find Li Wanxue, the other is to kill god, to ensure the comprehensive bugu Island, so he gave a frank answer to this condition.

When everything was settled, he led us to the lodgings we were given. It's the vacated house. The house was made of wood and animal skins.

"This is a good room. You and your wife will take this one, and the two generals will take the other two." Agger arranged.

"You are mistaken. I am not his wife." Li Yunna hurried to explain.

Agger was stunned for a moment and I said: "She is not, we can arrange how to live by ourselves."

"That all right, you rest first, tomorrow I show you around."

"Thank you." I took out a gold coin and said, "Chief Ag, let me give you a small gift when we meet for the first time."

Agger took it and his eyes lit up. "Chief, is this gold?"

"You do?"

He nodded. "Yes, my abba had a very small one. He found it from the servant of the gods he killed. This stuff is very expensive. I have also heard a legend that in our old world there was a kingdom that produced gold. You don't come from the Kingdom of Gold?"

"No, our gold comes from them too." I said, "Since you like it so much, I'll bring you more when you come over next time."

"Thank you, chief. I never thought I'd see another piece of gold." He took it in his hand and fondled it endlessly.

After he left, I gave up the biggest room to Wu Wa and Li Yunna, and lived next door to Li Ding.

Days of running, although riding alpaca, but I was still very tired, called a few people, together to the river bath, saw the island distributed more than 10 meters high watchtower. There was a faint light inside, but no one was to be seen.

Took a bath, went back to the house and fell asleep.

Wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. Went to the hall to see Li Yunna and Wu Wa are chatting.

"Come out with me." While walking, you can also learn about the island.

The three men went out and walked straight to the beach. I picked some red, bleeding tomatoes on the way. The three of them ate and walked.

The watchtower men were changing shifts, and the man came down and nodded at us.

"Brother, you stay up at night, how can you not see?"

"Inside, we have the little window." He was a man with normal eyes and feet: "If we go out, the servant of the Gods will come and shoot us dead."

"That's not bad." I nodded. "Go back to bed. Let's go to the river."

He yawned and walked quickly away.

"Chief, why are there two kinds of people in their tribe?" Wu Wa asked curiously.

"Those who have altered eyes and feet may have been victims of genetic experimentation," he said. "Those who have not changed may have had able-bodied ancestors, or they may not have inherited that mutation." I can only make a general analysis.

To the river, see the other side of the river narrow a lot, only 30 or 40 meters. So there are several more watchtowers facing this way.

"It feels better than our highlands," said Wu Wa.

"Yes, water is abundant." It's not for nothing that the River tribe is so powerful.

After walking along the river for a while, we returned to the tribe. As guests, we can enjoy the peaceful life in the tribe without having to do anything.

After a few days like this, it was a little boring.

It rained for two days in a row. I was chatting with some of my friends in the house when I heard the sound of drumming. We hurried out. They saw the tribesmen armed with weapons and running toward the river.

"It's not a coincidence, is it? We just got here, and the ogres are attacking us?" Li Ding said blankly.

"Never mind that. Go and get all your men armed. Divide into two lines and go to the river." No matter what we do, we need to take adequate precautions.

After Li Ding and Wu Wa left, I went back to the house, took my gun and went back outside. Agger's brother came running up and told us that two large groups of monster men had taken up positions on the banks of the river.

After I told him I had arranged for someone to assist them, we went to find Agger. He is marshalling his men.
