Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Lin Tao said anxiously: "So you all know it! But these foreign Maori are not negotiating with you, they are here to wipe out and kill you all! Dominate this island!"

The old chief continued to say unhurriedly: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be resolved through negotiation. What good will it do them if they kill us all? Do they need to monopolize such a large island with only 2000 people? In this world The most evil thing is war. We Moriori people will not use violence to solve problems with outsiders unless we really have to. I believe that these outsiders can reach an agreement with us."

Lin Tao scolded angrily in Chinese: "You are really like a flock of sheep, ten times better than Song Xianggong." The old chief naturally couldn't understand what he said.

Lin Tao pondered for a while, and then suggested: "Even so, the chief should prepare his tribe to meet the enemy. If the other party really wants to kill you all and enslave you, you can only stand up and resist."

The old chief nodded and said: "If that's the case, we will naturally resist. I have ordered the tribe to prepare sticks. But I still think we can reach an agreement with these outsiders, because the bottom line of our negotiation is that we can give up the island to They, we are willing to live on their original islands, as long as they send a few people to pilot and take us there."

Lin Tao choked when he heard the word "wooden stick".Although the Maori in Samoa are also from the Stone Age, wooden knives inlaid with shark teeth, flat axes made of jade, and wooden spears made of hard mahogany are much better than wooden sticks.

What's more, many of these Moriori have never even fought, so how could they fight the enemy on the battlefield.Lin Tao thought to himself, "There's no other way, I can only rely on my thirty or so people to save the Moriori tribe."

He made this decision not only for the Moriori people, but because the Maori really killed all the Moriori people and gained a firm foothold on this island, then the thirty or so people on their boat would be in trouble.Because Maori are warlike!

After the Maori landed, there was no immediate attack on the Moriori.They also pitched a camp on the east coast.

In the early morning of the third day, Lin Tao's people took all kinds of equipment and supplies, boarded two Viking warships, and went around the headland to Moriori's west bank camp.

While Lin Tao was preparing for war, the old chief of Moriori also sent someone to get in touch with the Maori.

It was that Coop who contacted them.Kupp's answer was simple, and he was willing to negotiate with the Moriori people on how to share the island.But the premise is that all Moriori must be in the camp when negotiating, so that all Moriori can vote on the outcome of the negotiation to show the sincerity of the Moriori.

After hearing this reply, the old chief happily said to Lin Tao: "Look, I said that there is nothing that can't be resolved through negotiation." Lin Tao smiled lightly, but cursed in his heart: "You are an old fool, you have killed your family and exterminated your species." It's right in front of you, but you don't know it!"

Chapter 342 Moriori's Slaughter

It was dawn and the sun was just rising over the central highlands of the Northwest Cape.The sound of conch snails whimpered one after another.In a certain Moriori settlement, people got out of the thatched huts and looked out to the high ground.The figures of the Samoan Maori appear in large numbers on the highland ridgelines.

The Moriori did not appear overly alarmed, as they believed that the tribal chief had reached a peace agreement with the Samoans.

The leader of the Moriori settlement led a group of people to meet the Maori.Maori's team stopped in the distance, only a dozen or so people came to this side.These let the Moriori relax their vigilance even more.

When the leader of the settlement saw clearly that the person walking at the front was Kupu, whom his tribe had rescued, he opened his arms happily and said, "Kup, welcome back. Our chief is ready to fight with your tribe." Negotiate and share this rich land."

Kupp didn't make any response. He took a few steps, walked to a place only three steps away from the other party, and said with a grinning smile: "We Samoans will never share with others. This island will belong to us Samoans from now on. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his wooden knife studded with shark teeth and slashed at the opponent.

With a bang, the wooden knife was slashing at the opponent's neck.Sharp shark teeth slit his arteries, and blood gushed out.There were only ten Maori warriors around Kupu, but there were nearly a hundred people around the leader of the settlement.But these nearly a hundred people have been frightened by the blood, their faces are ashen, and their souls are scattered.

Ten Maori warriors wielded wooden knives, wooden spears, and jade axes to slash and kill.Among the Moriori, some had their necks cut off by wooden knives, some were pierced by wooden spears, and some had their skulls crushed by stone axes.The sudden attack caught the Moriori at a loss, and he even forgot to run away.

The Maori behind Kupu danced with jaws and tongues open again, which was a signal that they were going to launch a general attack.The Moriori in front finally came to their senses and began to run backwards.

A Moriori had barely taken two steps when he was shot and fell to the ground. The Maori who stabbed him to death shot back and disemboweled another Moriori who was still stunned.Nearly a hundred Moriori were killed by more than a dozen Maori like Kupu within a few breaths.In the rear, those Maori who had just finished dancing the war dance had swept over like dark clouds.

The Moriori who had gathered in the settlement woke up from the shock and fled in all directions amid screams and cries of terror.Some of them hid in thatched huts, some in burrows, and some in bushes and woods.

Kupp said loudly to the Maori warriors who were shouting past him: "Except for the young women who will stay and give birth to our children, kill everyone else! Their meat is enough for us to eat for a long time!"

The Maori rushed into the settlement, and those who were hiding were found and killed one by one.The young women were detained in an open space outside the settlement.

Some Moriori finally started to resist. They were holding wooden sticks. It was unknown whether it was due to lack of strength or courage. These wooden sticks knocked each other weakly once or twice, and they were killed by the opponent.

A Moriori hit a Maori over the head with a stick while he was dragging his wife.But this swinging action is really weak.The Maori was only stunned for a stick in the head, and then cut open the opponent's belly with a wooden knife with his backhand.

The Moriori man covered his bleeding belly, exposing his internal organs, and ran away screaming in horror.Before he could escape two steps, a Maori leader smashed his head with a jade hatchet.

There were screams and begging for mercy everywhere in the settlement and around the settlement, but there was no sound of fighting.At noon, the massacre in the settlement finally came to an end.Some Maori cut off the head from the Moriori corpse with a wooden knife, and then cut a hole in the head like a coconut, inserted it into a reed, and sucked the brain.

On the open space outside the settlement, piles of bonfires were set up.Some Maori cut pieces of meat from the Moriori, cleaned it, and roasted it directly over the campfire.Generally speaking, Maori with a tradition of cannibalism will have a ritual hosted by a wizard before cannibalism, but now it is wartime, and there are not so many "red tapes".

There were also some high-status Maori who picked out the beautiful women from among the captured Moriori women and raped them in public.

At this time, three or four of Lin Tao's people were lurking in the nearby woodland, monitoring the scene.Even though they are all "vicious people" who have "a lot of knowledge", seeing the scene like the Shura field, they are also horrified and vomited.

Kupp opened his bloody mouth wide, tore off a piece of roasted human flesh and chewed it, and said vaguely in his mouth: "Everyone, eat and drink quickly, we still have three Moriori strongholds to take away." .If we let them escape to the depths of the island, it will be difficult to find them in the future.”

……

Ten miles away, there was another settlement near the coast surrounded by a large grassland.Lin Tao persuaded the old Moriori chief again: "The situation is very clear now. The Maori just want to exterminate you. If you don't stand up and resist, and are still fantasizing about reaching a compromise with the other party, then you will surely Extermination of the dead."

The old chief didn't seem to believe that Lin Tao was telling the truth, and murmured, "There may be some misunderstanding here. It was originally agreed. We need to gather everyone together before we can negotiate. Maybe they got the time wrong, I thought we were not sincere, but in fact I have sent the assembly order to various settlements... ".

Before Lin Tao could reply, two or three panicked Moriori came in from the outside. They almost cried and said, "Chief, Kupu brought his people. This is a group of demons. They say nothing." If you don’t say anything, you will kill and eat all the people in our settlement, and even snatch our women.”

Lin Tao went on to say: "Now you should believe it, make up your mind to resist!"

The old chief was silent, and it took a long time before he said: "But they have so many people here. Most of us have never even fought, and the weapons we use are sticks. How can we fight against these villains with murder weapons. "

Lin Tao patted his chest and said, "If the patriarch trusts me and entrusts me with the control of the Moriori, I promise to subdue these Maori or even drive them out."

The old chief blinked his eyes, took out a short flat stick made of green jade from his arms, handed it to Lin Tao, and said in his mouth: "If you own this thing, you will be the patriarch who can rule the whole clan. Subdue or drive these villains from this land. The Moriori will serve you and your children in honor for generations to come."

Chapter 343 North Island War

Lin Tao took the jade from the old chief, and the first order he gave was to gather the Moriori from the remaining settlements.The first thing he asked the Moriori to do was to sharpen the sticks used as weapons, and at the same time sent an envoy to get in touch with the Samoan Maori.

……

Coop had just finished venting on a moaning Moriori woman when several Maori came up to him carrying a Moriori woman.

Seeing the human limbs roasting on the bonfire and the bloody corpses all over the ground, the Moriori was already scared out of his wits.He kept shouting: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm here to deliver the letter on the orders of our patriarch."

With a wave of Kupp's hand, several Maori threw the Moriori to the ground.Kupp put the wooden knife inlaid with shark teeth on the Moriori man's neck, and said coldly: "Honestly, what letter are you sending us? I want to be honest. If you tell half a lie, I'll cut your neck off! Drain your brains!"

The man replied tremblingly, "Don't, don't kill me. I'm just here to deliver a letter. We Moriori don't lie."

When Kupp heard this, he thought that this was the truth. Judging from what he had seen and heard during the time he lived in Moriori, these Moriori people would not tell lies even if someone taught them to lie.

Kupu retracted the knife, and the man began to talk... "The patriarch already knows that you have launched an attack. We have agreed to negotiate before, and we have gathered the population of several settlements according to your request. But I didn’t expect you to launch an attack in advance. The patriarch thinks that this must be caused by some misunderstanding, and wants to clarify the misunderstanding with you and start negotiations again.”

In fact, Cooper originally intended to wait for Moriori to gather together, and then catch them all in one go.But afterwards, he was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he asked the Moriori to retreat into the jungle deep in the island, and launched an attack in advance by surprise.

Now when he heard what the other party said, he smiled and said: "We saw that you haven't written for a long time, and thought you were going to break the agreement, so we launched an attack in advance. In this case, I will immediately take someone to negotiate with your patriarch. Agree on how to solve the problem."

Suddenly, Kupp saw a flickering look in the man's eyes.He put the wooden knife around the man's neck again, and asked, "You lied! Tell me! How did you deceive me!"

"No, no. Everything I say is the truth."

"Then you must have something to hide? Think about it, what else is important that you didn't tell me!"

"No...uh, yes. It's not the old patriarch who asked me to send the letter. We have changed the patriarch."

"Oh? What is the origin of this patriarch among you Moriori? What kind of background does he have?"

"He is not from our Moriori, just like you, he is also from an outer island, but there are only a dozen of them in total."

In fact, Lin Tao and his party consisted of more than 30 people, but because he only brought a dozen people into Moriori's settlement at a time, there were only a dozen people who were thought to be him by the Moriori messenger.

"Outer Islanders?" Kupu pondered for a while, then smiled and said to the Maori people beside him: "This is interesting, so we still have competitors and want to get ahead, but there are only a dozen of them, so he wants to directly control These Moriori, not like us..."

He said to the Moriori messenger again, "Go, tell your new patriarch that we will keep the appointment on time!"

……

When the sun was setting in the west, Kupu led the Maori army to the second settlement of the Moriori, and set up a battle on the side of the open grassland.In order to be able to complete the battle, he mobilized all the Maori warriors he could mobilize, and there were only a hundred people left in the base camp guarded by his father on the east coast.

Lin Tao was dressed in armor, wrapped in a war robe, and brought eight of his own people and a dozen Moriori to the front of the formation.Kupp saw that these people were dressed strangely.Unlike them, the Maori only cover a few pieces of grass mats woven with wormwood in front of the lower body.Kupu suddenly became vigilant in his heart, not daring to go forward without any scruples like last time with only a few people.

From a long distance, Kupu shouted loudly: "You can follow the agreement, and everyone in the tribe is here?".Someone over there immediately responded loudly: "Our tribe, men, women, old and young, everyone is here, we can negotiate!"

Kupu laughed and cursed in his heart, a bunch of idiots, I'm talking about you.With a wave of his hand, thousands of Maori warriors lined up neatly and danced the Maori war dance together.Kupp also participated in it, baring his teeth and claws, gaping and sticking out his tongue. This is the prelude to launching an attack and killing.

While dancing, they gradually approached each other.As soon as the dance is over, they all launch an attack.Kupu took square steps and leaned towards Lin Tao like a moa, his eyes staring like they were about to fall out.

With a whoosh, Kupp saw a "short spear"-like thing flying towards him at an extremely fast speed. With a bang, he felt his tongue go numb and unable to move. It turned out that a heavy arrow shot his tongue out It was nailed to the chin, and the arrow cluster passed through his chin again, and went straight into the throat.

Kupp clutched his throat, let out a whimper, and collapsed.Several brothers beside him, and other Maori warriors did not know what had happened, and continued to dance the war dance.In fact, even if he knew that something happened to him, according to Maori military discipline and rules, the war dance could not stop.

However, the battle dance was coming to an end at this time. After Lin Tao's longbowman shot down three or four Maori, these Maori warriors launched an attack like a tidal wave.

The dozen or so Moriori people beside Lin Tao threw away the sharpened wooden sticks in their hands, and ran back desperately in despair.Lin Tao didn't have time to stop them, he raised the weapon in his hand into the air, and shouted: "Fix the formation!"

The seven people immediately formed a circle back to back with Lin Tao holding shields, with a longbowman in the middle.As soon as they finished these actions, the Maori came over like waves.Lin Tao stabbed out, and immediately pierced a Maori man's chest.

At the same time, two hardwood spears pierced over, one pierced Lin Tao's shield and the other pierced his shoulder armor.The wood binding iron had no effect except to make Lin Tao feel pushed.Lin Tao stabbed twice in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye there were two more Maori corpses on the ground.

The rest of them, like Lin Tao, slashed and killed the swarming Maori with full-body armor and sharp iron weapons.Gradually, Maori corpses piled up around them, including some of the Maori tribe's most valiant warriors.

The Maori also gradually understood and began to change their tactics. Instead of just rushing forward, they held up layers of wooden spears to hold these people back...

Chapter 344

Lin Tao kept using his shield to block the forest of Maori wooden spears.When he found more than a thousand Maori gathered around, he knew the time was right, and ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

The besieged longbowman immediately took out a ringing arrow, bent his bow and drew the string, and shot it into the sky.With the sound of screaming arrows.Three heavy cavalry rushed out from the Moriori settlement.

The three Shire warhorses had been fattened up by the natural pastures on the island and the horse feed on the boat. At this time, they were wearing heavy armor and galloping wildly on the grassland.

The three armored knights on the horse gave up their usual maces, and instead used five-foot-long sabers.Because the Maori on the other side are almost naked, the effect of using a saber is better than that of a mace.

At the edge, several Maori heard abnormal noises. When they turned their heads to observe, they found these "monsters" with a shoulder height of six feet and running like flying with four hooves. The faces of the monsters were also made of shiny "stone". A mask, and a "blanket" woven with a kind of black and cool "stone flakes" is draped over his body.And that "monster" also had a "humanoid creature" on it.

A Maori man had no time to react, and was knocked down by the frontmost warrior. He flew two battles away before landing, and his chest was crushed by the flying iron hoof as soon as he landed.

The other two Maori warriors, although startled, subconsciously stabbed each other's warriors with their wooden spears.Immediately, they were lifted up by a huge momentum, and the rear ends of their wooden guns were inserted into their bodies.

The knight on the heavy horse brandished a saber, and near the path where the horse was galloping, the Maori saw a flash of light in front of their eyes, some of them were decapitated, some were cut in half, and more limbs were broken .

The Sanqi finished glyph cuts in from the outermost edge of the group of Maori, smashing them down and killing them like a knife cutting fruit.At the same time, seven Liang Guo sailors in full black iron armor entered the battle group through a gap, holding a sharp axe, a big sword, a steel knife shield and a seven-foot steel spear respectively.

One of them danced with a sharp ax in his hand, and a Maori leader vigorously swung a shark-toothed wooden knife in his hand. The shark's teeth made a sour scratching sound on his iron armor, and there were many silver-white scratches on the dark iron armor. .

The Liang Jun sailor immediately slashed away with a sharp axe, and with a click, it easily smashed into the opponent's chest.Once the ax was retracted, the Maori's chest was completely cut open.The bloody big ax slashed away again, cutting off a Maori man who was about to stab with a spear.

At the same time, a wooden gun stabbed him, and he felt a surge of force that almost pushed him to the ground.He grabbed the barrel of the gun with one hand and moved backwards, the owner of the wooden gun was dragged to his eyes.Before he could speak, the sharp ax in his right hand had already split the head of the wooden spear owner, and blood from his brain splashed all over him.The rest of them waved their weapons crazily, killing the Maori mercilessly.

These seven Liang Jun sailors, like a sharp sword, cut a gap in the group of Maoris in a short time, pierced through it, and joined Lin Tao and others.They left behind at least fifty Maori corpses.

After the two groups joined forces, Lin Tao no longer just defended. Relying on the iron armor and the sword that was thousands of years ahead of the opponent, he dashed left and right among the Maori crowd, and kept making Maori corpses.The three heavy cavalry on the periphery were also killing the Maoris layer by layer.

The Maori of Samoa have always been famous for their bravery throughout the Maori world.They will fight to the death even when the leader dies in battle, when the enemy is strong and we are weak, and when they know they must die.Otherwise, if it was a common brigade, such a one-sided killing would have already caused them to be defeated.

However, this made Lin Tao feel happy, because if these Maori really broke up and fled into the mountains and forests, or temporarily retreated by sea.Then the entire North Island will fall into a protracted war in the future.

Fortunately, Lin Tao killed Kupu at the beginning, otherwise Kupu might order a temporary retreat.And now, even if some Māori see a problem, they don't have the power or ability to make their peers back off.So they can only fight to the death with these "Gods of War" who descended from the sky.

Maori casualties are increasing, and the air at the scene is full of blood.After all, Lin Tao and the others only had a dozen or so people, not to mention fighting on the battlefield, even if they killed more than a thousand pigs, they would sometimes be soft.When more than half of the Maoris had been killed, Lin Tao and the others' hands and feet began to weaken gradually.The speed of the three war horses also slowed down significantly.

Another loud arrow shot into the air, and the three warriors immediately rode away from the battlefield.But Lin Tao and others hacked and killed all the way, retreating to the corner of the grassland.That corner is actually sandwiched between two plateaus and a stream, forming a pocket.

Lin Tao and the others deliberately slowed down, keeping a close distance from the Maori chasing them.At last they began to speed up and swim across the stream.A loud arrow soared into the sky again.

Several Liang Guo sailors in full armor rushed out from the woods on the opposite side of the river, joining forces with Lin Tao and others.They were followed by hundreds of Moriori armed with sharpened sticks.At the same time the hot air balloon airship also rose into the air.There was also a longbowman on the airship who kept shooting Maori.

Two fireballs came from the bush on the other side of the river and were falling on the Maori crowd rushing towards the river.The fireball exploded immediately, and the flames soared into the sky.

Unfortunately, several Maori were splashed with naphtha and screamed miserably.They didn't know how to roll on the ground to put out the fire, and a few firemen rushed into the stream.Some fell to the ground before rushing into the river, losing their vitality.Some jumped into the river, and the fire was extinguished, but they passed out from the pain, and finally drowned in the water.

Floating objects in the air, detonating fireballs falling from the sky.The Maori were stunned by a scene they could never have imagined in their dreams.But there are still many Maoris who forcibly cross the river, trying to cross the river to continue hunting down Lin Tao.

This made Lin Tao just shake his head. After all, he thought that he was a virgin. Although he was extremely brave, he still had not enough brains.

Some Maori had just stepped on the cobblestones on the river bed when they were stabbed by countless sharpened spears, immediately pricking him into a honeycomb.Those Moriori who had never fought were very nervous, fearing that the opponent would come back from the dead, so they stabbed the corpse floating in the water many times until the corpse turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

When some Maori rushed to the river bank, Lin Tao's sailors cut them to the ground with a knife, or were pierced by spears.Fireballs continued to fly from the forest, and flames still rose into the sky from time to time.The Maori finally lost their morale and began to flee back the same way.

Chapter 345 A Large Number of Canoes

When the Maori tried to retreat to the prairie through the gap between the two high hills, they found that it was already occupied by ten Outer Islanders in full armor and holding iron weapons.Beside them were hundreds of trembling Moriori holding simple wooden spears.

The flood of attacks by thousands of Maori just now did not have any effect on Lin Tao and the dozen or so people, not to mention that the Maori who are now out of their wits are facing ten energetic Liang Guo sailors, as well as the hundreds of people who have no combat power. But at least the Moriori can charge.

Scattered Maori attacked the defense line blocking the gap several times, but all failed, leaving only more than a hundred corpses.Now there are only more than [-] survivors of more than [-] Maori.Suddenly, they found that the three people riding the "monster" were galloping over again.

They were terrified, and their spirits were completely broken at this time, and they ran away into the Gaogang forest in a panic.A Maori scrambles through the bush on a high hill, trying to find his way out.Suddenly he felt empty under his feet, and his whole body sank, and then he felt sharp pains from the soles of his feet.

He looked down and saw that he had fallen into a pit, and the bottom of the pit was covered with spikes cut from a kind of hardwood.His feet had been pierced by spikes.These traps were temporarily dug by Lin Tao and others to teach the Moriori people.

Just as he was about to climb out of the trap with difficulty, a sharpened wooden stick stabbed at him.Enduring the severe pain, he flicked left and right, frightening the Moriori people, and finally with a muffled poof, a sharp wooden stick pierced into his eye socket.

The Maori wailed terribly, grabbed the wooden stick inserted into his eye socket, and tried to pull it out.Moriori, who was holding a wooden stick, dropped the stick in a frightened manner, and took a few steps back.But at the same time, two sharp wooden sticks pierced the Maori's body.He stopped making any noise, and fell limply into the pit.

Hundreds of Moriori lurk on the high hills, hunting the Maori who scatter into it.Lin Tao and the others rested for a while, and rushed into Gaogang's forest with their weapons in hand, attacking the Maori.

Seven or eight Moriori holding sharp wooden sticks surrounded a Maori leader holding a shark-toothed wooden knife. This man was also a well-known warrior in the Maori tribe.

The Maori warrior swayed and even avoided the stabbing of several sharp wooden sticks. He drew an arc with the shark-toothed knife in his hand, and instantly cut off the trachea of ​​a Moriori man.The Moriori man clutched his neck, which was gushing blood, and fell to the ground.
