Chapter 69 The so-called alliance
The decision of Barbarian King Tryndamere had nothing to do with Li Ke, but the smelly necklace he gave Li Ke was very effective. Because not long after Li Ke and the others had breakfast and continued their journey towards Ai Xi, they encountered
I got on board with another group of tribesmen, and after showing them the necklace, they passed through the other tribe's territory safely, and toasted each other with their leader on the roadside.
But more than that, after bidding farewell to that tribe, they walked for less than an hour before using the necklace again, and once again passed through their territory safely and arrived at the territory of the next tribe.
Then…
Then they met another tribe not long after, who was also an ally of Tryndamere, so they passed by easily.
Then the tribes they met next stopped giving Tryndamere face. Instead, they roared and rushed over. It seemed that they wanted to kill Li Ke and the others completely. They did not buy Tryndamere's fight at all and let Li Ke
Ke had to pull out his sword, knock the opponent's sword away, and then kicked him away. He also used the same method on a dozen soldiers around him. Only then did he get through the trees.
Not in the lush woods.
At this time, the wind and snow gradually weakened, and some animals quickly came out to engage in activities, and Li Ke even saw a strange little animal coming out of the hole.
But not long after they were leisurely, they saw another tent in the distance and some knights rushing towards them.
"Why are there so many tribes here?"
Li Ke silently held his sword. In just one day, he was able to encounter so many tribes, and each one had to be dealt with carefully.
"If you get closer to the mountains, the wind and snow will be much lighter, and it will be difficult for enemies and beasts to find people on the snowy mountains. Even if they are defeated, they can easily avoid other tribes by running to any valley.
people to save their own lives. So there are indeed many small tribes here, and..."
Cherna began to explain to Li Ke, and pointed to the knights rushing forward. The ugly expression on her face improved a lot. However, her words were interrupted because she wanted to explain to Li Ke that these people were
who.
"...They are from the Xuefeng Clan. They are firm allies with the Gaoshan Clan. Many Gaoshan Clan members marry them, so we have less trouble."
When he heard that they were the allies of the Barbarian King, Li Ke raised the necklace so that the cavalry flying over could see the necklace in his hand. But when he did this again, he asked Cherna
one time.
"What did you just want to say?"
Cherna looked at the slowing down cavalry and considered her words for a moment before speaking.
"We are very likely to have broken into a war zone. Every time there is a shortage of food, small tribes like this will go to war with each other to get enough food. But I didn't expect that the war would start so early here. Logically speaking,
It should take another month for this problem to appear."
There was doubt in Cherna's voice, and after she finished speaking, a cheerful voice spoke.
"That's because a tribe's food was burned in a fire this year, so the war started. What's more, winter came too early this year, and even our food is difficult."
The speaker was a knight who stopped his horse in front of them. The knight took the necklace from Li Ke's hand, looked at it, and gave it back to Li Ke.
"It is indeed Tryndamere's thing. Hello, friends of friends, the people of the Snow Peak Clan send you their regards."
He had no intention of dismounting, nor did he look like he wanted to drink the wine that represented friendship with Li Ke and the others. Instead, he glanced at Cherna with a sigh.
"But I'm very curious. Tangtang War Mother actually obeys a man with no reputation. Is there anything special about this man?"
He seemed to know Cherna, but Cherna didn't seem to know him, and after hearing the other party's words, she responded unceremoniously.
"It's a very complicated matter, and I no longer think of myself as a war mother, so I think it would be better for you to show corresponding respect to my master."
In response, the knight who was unwilling to dismount just shrugged and skipped the topic.
"Okay, it seems I'm talking too much."
He pointed in the direction Li Ke and the others were heading, and then spoke in a very subtle tone.
"We are searching with a clan. So you'd better wait for two days, or simply change the road, otherwise you will not only have to deal with wild beasts, but arrows shot by the enemy. But, the final choice
The power still belongs to you."
After he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and left the place. It was obvious that he did not intend to say anything more to Li Ke and the others.
"Looks like we're going to have to take a detour?"
Li Ke looked at Cherna, but Cherna frowned and watched the knight galloping away with confusion. Because the other party's coming and going made Cherna very confused. She was afraid that this was a
It was a carefully prepared trap. After all, when the other party saw Tryndamere's necklace, the other party did not treat it accordingly.
"If it's more prudent, yes, after all, no matter whether what the other party says is true or not, it will always be safer to take a detour... But I don't think they can trust it, because it is too weird. Logically speaking, they can even if they don't tell
Where our battlefield is, we should also be told which tribe started the war."
"So, no matter what choice we make now, we may be in crisis, right?"
Li Ke took over Cherna's words, and after Cherna nodded, he couldn't help but ask the other party.
"Is it like this every year? Not only do big tribes fight each other, but small tribes also fight each other?"
Cherna nodded again, but her eyes never left the knight, and Li Ke did the same. This allowed him to see the knight being scolded by their leader, and the leader riding towards them on horseback.
The way he rushed over. This made it impossible for him to hear Cherna's answer, so he had to pull out his sword and rush towards the opponent.
The other party obviously wanted to kill them without Tryndamere knowing, take away their food, or something else. After all, as long as their group died. As long as they didn't tell, who would know?
Did they betray their allies?
So Li Ke had nothing to say to them. The moment the two sides came into contact, he took action first, cutting off the leader's horse's legs, and then threw the sword out, letting the sword pierce the man who had just been riding with him.
