Chapter 1841 A battle with a clear outcome

On the fifth day after the pioneering group set off from Ma Tau Bay, and still about a day away from the first colonial camp established in Ma Tau Bay, the attack from the Blood Crow tribe came as scheduled when they were setting up camp in the evening.

The timing of the attack was very clever. When the camp was halfway set up and many people were busy packing their belongings, they suddenly rushed out from the jungle and launched the attack.

Different from the indigenous tribes that colonists often see, the weapons used by the Blood Crow tribe are not wooden spears or stone axes, but real iron spears and iron axes. They even wear iron armor and hold wooden shields.

Moreover, when they attacked, they did not make strange screams like other indigenous tribes, and then rush forward in a swarm while waving their weapons. Instead, they used archers to clear the way, in groups of ten, holding wooden shields, and cooperated with each other to rush into the open area.

Within the regiment's warning circle.

The generals of the Pioneer Regiment had already anticipated the attack by the Blood Crow Tribe and were well prepared to prevent the attack. Although the timing of the attack by the Blood Crow Tribe was very sudden at first, and the attack point was placed right next to the Pioneer Regiment.

The novice was caught off guard at his position, but soon the officers of the Pioneer Regiment led the veterans to support him and blocked the attack.

When the pioneering group was established, it was announced to the outside world that it was a novice pioneering group, and it was indeed an open recruitment for new members in Ma Tau Bay. However, in fact, the core of the pioneering group still consisted of about a thousand veterans who had experienced battles in the field, and the pioneering group

The generals and officers of the regiment are also old men with rich experience in colonization and fighting with indigenous tribes, so their preparations for dealing with possible attacks are far more thorough than those of ordinary pioneer regiments.

When they saw the human skin totem of the Blood Crow Tribe a few days ago, they, like Joe Matthew, had expected that they might be attacked. However, they did not know the situation of the Blood Crow Tribe and just thought it was an ordinary attack.

The indigenous tribes threatened them, so even though they were prepared to deal with various attacks, they did not pay special attention to this matter.

When the Blood Crow Tribe launched an attack, the first to bear the brunt were the Newcomer Pioneer Regiment soldiers responsible for peripheral security. Dozens of newcomer warriors only served as a warning, and were killed by hundreds of Blood Crow Tribe warriors.

Their early warning did work, allowing the pioneering regiment soldiers responsible for the safety of the convoy to respond promptly and take up arms to resist.

However, these warriors were still just novice warriors, and they were not yet dominant in numbers, so they were quickly defeated. Fortunately, the slave caravan warriors who were traveling with the pioneering group joined in, and they were able to barely withstand the attack, and then nearby

The veterans of the pioneering group also came directly to support after hearing the news, and together they kept this group of hundreds of Blood Crow tribe soldiers in the camp of the pioneering group.

This attack came suddenly and ended quickly. It ended in less than half an hour. No one from the Blood Crow tribe escaped. Even to the end of the battle, one person still did not surrender. During this attack,

, the number of casualties of the pioneering regiment was very high. 712 people died, and more than 500 people were injured. Among them, 211 people were seriously injured and disabled, and may even be in danger of life. Of these casualties,

Among them, the vast majority are newcomers to the pioneering group, with only more than 50 slave caravan warriors, and the remaining more than 100 are veterans of the pioneering group.

Such huge casualties surprised the experienced generals and officers of the pioneering group. They found that the indigenous tribes that attacked the pioneering group were completely different from the indigenous tribes they had seen before. This difference was not only

This is reflected in the weapons and equipment and fighting methods, and more importantly, in the fighting will of these attackers who are not afraid of death. According to the statements of those who participated in the battle, each of these indigenous tribes are like lunatics, not afraid of attacks at all, as if

It is as if they can't feel the pain on their body. Some soldiers can even swing their weapons to attack nearby enemies even when their necks are cut off. Faced with such an enemy, even if they have an absolute numerical advantage, they still cannot reduce casualties.

Leo guessed again: "You shouldn't have been forced to implant parasites?"

However, what is interesting about Joe Matthew is that he is the only one who knows the details of the Blood Crow tribe. From the beginning to the end, no officer from the pioneering regiment came to ask him about the Blood Crow tribe. It seems that these officers know some of Joe's evil deeds.

Due to his reputation, he subconsciously thought that Qiao would only make up some lies and could not know any useful intelligence information. Qiao also did not take the initiative to tell the people of the pioneering team what he knew, except that he felt that even if he told the people of the pioneering team, it would not be possible.

In addition to the fact that some people believe his words, there may be another reason, that is, his identity is very special. He may be with the Blood Crow tribe. This is the secret that Leo discovered when the pioneering team was attacked.

Leo's inference made Joe stunned. His eyes were full of surprise. Apparently he didn't expect that Leo would connect him with the previously mentioned Kevel.

As long as this kind of shamanic potion is used, ordinary people can forget the pain on their bodies, become infinitely strong, and have no fear of death.

In addition, the performance of the Blood Crow Tribe warriors in the battle also attracted Leo's attention. As the veterans of the Pioneer Regiment who survived the battle reported to the generals and officers, the performance of the Blood Crow Tribe warriors in the battle was

He was indeed risking his own life. Even if his head was cut off, his body would still swing the weapon according to muscle instinct and attack any objects around him. This situation was obviously not the state that a normal warrior should have.

After that, several warriors from the Blood Crow tribe who launched the attack discovered Joe hiding under the carriage. However, before they were about to attack Joe, Joe made a few gestures to them, and the Blood Crow warriors immediately stopped.

, and then attack others.

"Because you agree very much with that theory of supremacy, and the Paho tribe also has a similar theory, so you should be very sympathetic to the Paho tribe." Leo analyzed it carefully, and then said somewhat abruptly: "You were burned by fire.

A descendant of Kevir?”

"I don't know," Joe shook his head and said, "But I know that he is very afraid of you. He doesn't dare to make any unnecessary noise when he is around you."

"Why should I expose you?" Leo smiled again, asked a question, and then reminded: "I am a Behrende, this is the pioneering group of the colony of the Kingdom of Lute."

During this period of time as a bystander, he saw Joe hiding under the carriage before the Blood Crow tribe attacked. This was not because Joe had some premonition, but because before the Blood Crow tribe officially launched the attack, he used

Some kind of bird whistle is used as a signal to convey signals, and Joe seems to understand the meaning of each sound of this bird whistle.

He soon recovered from his surprise and asked: "Why do you guess that I am related to Kevir?"

However, even if he moved to the other side of the convoy where he would not be attacked, his attention did not move away. Instead, he was still on the convoy, watching this brief and intense scene like a bystander.

of fighting.

This question was asked carelessly, but Leo knew what he was asking. He sat on the chair and asked with a smile: "What did I see? The inhuman combat power of those Blood Crow tribe warriors? Or is it me?

The person who was supposed to be killed by the Blood Crow tribe warriors only made a few gestures and survived?"

Qiao was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Leo and said in a deep voice: "No, you are not a Berente. Many of your habits are completely different from those of a real Berente. You cannot be a Berente."

people."

The attack point chosen by the Blood Crow Tribe coincidentally happened to be the convoy that Leo was in transporting living supplies. Because the materials transported were not particularly important, this convoy was included at the end of the pioneering group's convoy.

Following the merchant convoy, the people protecting this convoy were all newcomers to the pioneering group, so Leo had anticipated the attack on this convoy, and before the Blood Crow tribe launched the attack, he already knew about hiding in the jungle.

He knew the location and number of Blood Crow tribe soldiers inside, but he did not give a warning and simply retreated to the back of the convoy to avoid attacks that might fall on him.

It is precisely because of such a disparity in casualties that the generals and officers of the pioneering regiment began to pay attention to this unknown indigenous tribe. While preserving the bodies of these indigenous people and recording the battle, they also looked for people who knew this tribe so that they could encounter it again in the future.

When fighting against the Blood Crow Tribe, they can have enough intelligence to formulate a response plan.

The final result not only surprised Leo, but also made him feel that it was reasonable. These Blood Crow tribe warriors did not take any shamanic medicine. The reason why they became so willing to sacrifice their lives was because

Even if their heads are cut off, their bodies can still fight for a while, mainly because they have parasites implanted in their bodies, just like Daman in Ma Tau Bay, but the parasites on their bodies are not the same as those on Daman.

It's different again.

So that night, he sneaked into the camp where the corpses of Blood Crow tribe soldiers were stored, took away some organs and body tissues, and then returned to his tent for testing.

Leo initially thought that these Blood Crow tribe warriors might have received the blessing of some kind of shamanic power. After all, he already knew that the Paho tribe must have someone who had mastered the extraordinary knowledge of shamans, and this was exerted on the Blood Crow tribe warriors.

The power of the shaman is not necessarily extraordinary power, it is more likely to be some kind of shamanic potion. You must know that the knowledge of potions mastered by shamanism is not much worse than that of wizards. They refine it through ordinary herbs without using any extraordinary power.

There are also many potions that can achieve the effects of extraordinary potions, and Leo knows many methods of making such potions.

In the evening, Joe suddenly came to Leo's tent and asked if they could talk. Leo didn't clear away the organs, tissues and testing tools on the table and let Joe in directly.

However, almost none of the consultants of the entire pioneering team knew the origin of this indigenous tribe. Only one slave trader said that he had seen indigenous people holding metal weapons and wearing armor in an indigenous tribe, but he was not sure whether it was this attack.

He was a member of the tribe of the pioneering group, and he didn't know much about the aborigine. He just knew that the aborigine had a very high status, higher than the chiefs of the local aboriginal tribes.

"As expected, you saw it." Qiao frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you expose me?"

Joe didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, and his silence was the best answer.

When Leo saw this scene, his first thought was that Joe might be an insider of the Blood Crow tribe. Of course, this guess is not absolute, because Joe might also have some kind of relationship with the more powerful Paho tribe.

As a result, I have mastered some methods to obtain a certain identity among the subordinate tribes of the Paho tribe, such as that special gesture. Of course, this needs to be verified before we can have the answer.

Although they are two completely different parasites, it is not difficult to see from other details that both parasites use the same method for implantation and parasitism. In other words, the Paho people may also use this parasite to control their blood.

Crow tribe, and such a mature method of using parasites all shows that the shamanic spells currently mastered by the Paho tribe are probably all based on insects.

The parasites on Daman mainly live on the surface of the skin, and then cause the body of the parasite to mutate by secreting a certain kind of liquid. However, the parasites in the Blood Crow tribe are all concentrated in their kidneys. These parasites can secrete something similar to

Exciting substances such as adrenaline stimulate the host into an extremely excited state, and as long as this stimulation does not exceed a certain limit, it will not cause harm to the host.

Qiao smiled, nodded, and said: "Your feeling is correct, I am indeed a descendant of Kevel, and I said before that Kevel was actually the first person to come to the New World, and obtained the doctrine of the Supreme from the New World.

It is also a fact that I am inspired by it, but even if I tell this fact, no one will believe it, after all, I am a big talker."

"Why not forced?" Qiao looked at Leo with interest.

Leo asked again: "Then who do you think I am?"

After Qiao entered the tent, he immediately saw the organs, tissues and tools illuminated by the oil lamp on the simple table. The expression on his face changed slightly, and then quickly returned to normal, and then asked Leo very directly: "Attack"

You saw it all, right?"

"I feel like you two should be related." Leo responded vaguely.

"It?" Leo was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, looked at Qiao up and down, and said solemnly: "Do you have a parasite implanted by the Paho tribe?"

After saying that, Qiao smiled bitterly, seeming to feel a little helpless about his reputation.

"How is it possible?" Leo said in a deep voice: "In the era where Kevel lived, the sea was still blocked by gray fog. Anyone who entered the gray fog could not come out again. How did Kevel pass through the gray fog?

Came to the New World?"

Qiao had no intention of hiding anything. After seeing Leo ask this key question, he said directly: "It's very simple, as long as you don't pass through the gray fog on the sea."

"Not through the gray fog?" Leo hesitated for a moment, then quickly thought of something again, and said solemnly: "The underground mine of Miret's disaster."
