Immortality, but people in primitive society

Chapter 97: Be polite even in war

Bai Tian was very surprised: "Didn't you lose the battle with the Futian tribe yesterday? Why are they here again today?"

Speaking of yesterday's battle, no one asked about it during the day. The battle was so brutal yesterday, but Naida and others didn't seem to mention it.

So, Bai Tian asked: "Calorie, didn't a lot of you die yesterday? Why didn't you make a fuss?"

Calorie explained, "There are always casualties in war, and this isn't the first day. Besides, if we lose, we won't be the ones to bury the dead. We agreed before we went to war that if you die, you die."

This answer made Bai Tian dumbfounded. It sounded like he didn't take life and death seriously at all!

Calorie continued, "This Futian tribe is truly despicable. They won yesterday, and today they're challenging us again. It's clear they want us, Heitian, dead."

Bai Tian touched his nose and said, "I originally wanted to occupy this place, so of course I want you to die."

"But we can't do that. How can we challenge each other every day?" Calorie was very depressed. "In the past, we only fought once a year."

He smiled but said nothing during the day, but when it comes to war, and it’s an invasion war, there are no so many rules!

People nowadays are so simple that they have to issue a declaration of war before going to war, agreeing on the people and materials needed for the war, as well as the time of the war. After the war is over, they can just do whatever they want.

However, the Black Sky Tribe really couldn't afford to fight any more wars now. Internal conflicts hadn't been resolved, and if they went to war at this time, all of Naida's plans would collapse.

During the day, he walked out of the city with Calorie, asking about the war situation as they walked.

Fighting a war nowadays is actually quite interesting. You have to issue a declaration of war first, and both sides have to agree on who will fight, and even the tactics. Sometimes, even the number of casualties has to be discussed.

After all, war is a very big thing for the tribe. The death of so many people and mounts at once has a huge impact on the tribe.

There is also an advantage to fighting after negotiation. The tribe will be mentally prepared and will not feel sad if defeated, just like the current Black Sky Tribe.

During the day, I was thinking that this mode of fighting was actually quite good, but I just didn't know which grandson would break this rule in the future...

However, Bai Tian was also confused: "Didn't we lose the battle yesterday? Why weren't they occupied by the Futian tribe?"

Calorie replied, "Uncle Bai, it's not that easy for them to take over. During yesterday's battle, we agreed that if we lost, our captured people and mounts would belong to them, and then our tribe would not be able to hunt in the areas designated by them. That's all."

"But didn't you say that the Futian tribe wanted to occupy this place and also wanted the mines here?" Bai Tian was quite surprised.

Calorie nodded: "Yes, they have already said that they want to drive us away and occupy our mines. However, it hasn't come to this yet."

Crying blindly, it means that the goal has been set in advance, and now it is just the intermediate process!

So, the Futian tribe was quite considerate, not wanting to kill everyone right from the start...

After walking out of the city gate, I saw a few people outside during the day.

It is quite strange that when the Futian tribe came to issue a declaration of war, Naida refused to let them in and blocked them outside the city.

As the distance got closer, Bai Tian noticed that the people of the Futian tribe had a totem painted on their faces, a black bird.

Their clothing was relatively simple, and it was obvious that their living conditions were even worse. However, they were more robust, and each of them carried a hint of murderous intent.

The leader was a square-faced man. When he saw Bai Tian and Calorie coming over, his face looked very unhappy.

The square-faced man said coldly, "Are all the members of your Black Sky Tribe dead? We're here to issue a challenge, and you should send two people to respond."

Without waiting for Calorie to answer, Bai Tian smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but our tribe really doesn't have many people available right now."

"Everyone is busy hunting and staying alive right now, so they really don't have the heart to fight."

The square-faced man frowned and unfolded a piece of animal skin. He said in an aggressive tone, "This is a declaration of war from our Futian tribe. In ten days, our Futian tribe will send out fifty-seven people, seventeen of whom will have mounts..."

Before the other party could finish his words, Bai Tian interrupted with a smile: "Sorry, I told you, our tribe is very busy right now. Otherwise, I will accept this declaration of war alone."

"Are you answering it alone?" The other party was very surprised.

Bai Tian nodded and replied, "Yes, I will take it alone. That is to say, my tribe will send only me, I don't have a mount, and my weapon is just a spear."

The expressions of the people opposite became even uglier, and their cheeks twitched.

The square-faced man shouted sternly, "Are you looking down on our Futian tribe?!"

Bai Tian kept smiling. "No, it's just that our tribe is too busy right now. As for a war, as long as we fight according to the agreed method, it doesn't matter how many people there are, right?"

"I'm alone, and you guys can send one person too. We can decide the winner right away. How great is that."

When the square-faced man heard this, he actually felt that it made some sense.

He whispered to a few of his companions, then pointed to the letter of challenge in his hand and said, "Our condition is that if you lose, you must give us the mine in Lishan."

Calorie immediately exclaimed: "No!"

Bai Tian said, "Okay. Are there any other conditions?"

Calorie was shocked: "Uncle Bai..."

Bai Tian gestured for him to remain silent, maintaining a kind smile and saying, "Please state the other conditions as well."

He really wanted to see whether the Futian tribe would take the risk and go all in!

To Bai Tian's surprise, the other party didn't give it much thought and said, "That's the condition. If we lose, we will return your previous hunting range to you."

Bai Tian was really surprised. According to common sense, the other party should go all in or at least increase the stakes when seeing how weak he was.

Then I realized during the day that people nowadays don’t have so many thoughts.

Bai Tian nodded slightly: "It's just a one-man fight, so there's no need to make an appointment for ten days later, today or tomorrow will do."

The square-faced man looked up at the sun and said, "Then let's do it today when the sun disappears. Oh, and this time the battle... well, the place where the fight will take place will be right here."

"Okay!" Bai Tian agreed readily. He was confident in a one-on-one fight.

I thought it was over during the day, but afterwards, Calorie had to draft a new battle agreement behind the opponent's declaration of war, writing down all the conditions just mentioned in detail.

In recent years, Naida has led the development of the Black Sky Tribe very well. He even had people create writing, which has already moved away from hieroglyphics.

But I didn’t understand a single word during the day!

Each character was crooked, like a tadpole crawling. On the other hand, the pictographic writing of the Futian tribe was very interesting, neat and detailed.

Bai Tian got excited and asked, "By the way, who will your tribe send to fight me?"

The square-faced man answered casually: "His name is Fuxi..."
