"My lord priest, after receiving information from the Xishan station, they found a group of ronin coming in a bad way. With the current pace, they will reach our station by tomorrow morning at the latest."

The Xishan station was the station they established between the tribal plain and the Northwest Loess Mountain for the convenience of salt mining.

People have been guarding it since it was established, until this morning when they received news from Xinniao that the people guarding the checkpoint on the top of the mountain discovered that there were a large number of humans approaching in the distant mountains.

The checkpoint on the top of the mountain was also found on the opposite side, but there was no intention of changing the direction at all. From this point, it can be seen that it is not good.

Su Yao temporarily put down the plan at hand after listening to the soldiers' report, and took Shitou and other [-] warriors from the tribe to the Xishan garrison for support.There were also a large number of healers and young priests who went there.

The soldiers and horses did not move, but the food and grass went first.A large number of horse-drawn carts pulled food and forage to the station, and ox carts pulled bags of medicinal herbs.

Women in the tribe take out the softest newly woven cotton cloth and cut it into strips [-] centimeters wide, and then boil them in a clean pot without oil and water to sterilize them.

These cotton cloths have to be transported to the Xishan garrison to prepare for bandaging.

At the same time, Zhong Li drove tens of thousands of slaves to the tribe quickly. Halfway through, a small letter bird flew in the heavy snow and landed on Qing Shui's shoulder.

It was the news from Qing Shui's partner, saying that the tribe is short of manpower, if they find blood coagulation grass in the mountains, they will pick more.

Zhongli was keenly aware that something was wrong. There were tens of thousands of warriors in the tribe, how could there be a shortage of manpower?

Zhong Li went back with Xinniao.

He handed over tens of thousands of slaves to Chu Shan and Qing Shui, and he drove back as fast as he could.

It was already noon when Su Yao brought five thousand soldiers to the Xishan garrison. The soldiers ran for a long time and temporarily rested in the camp.

On the fortress of the checkpoint, a two-meter-long flag blew in the wind. It was the totem flag of the God Blessed Tribe.

"My lord envoy," Qiao Shouliang held in his hand the extremely rare lens made of natural white crystal given to him by Su Yao, which was only the size of a bird's egg, and was used to observe the movement in the distance.

"They are very smart. After detecting our people patrolling the top of the mountain, they shifted their route to the foot of the mountain. Although they will walk a little longer, we can't observe their whereabouts now."

Su Yao looked at the surrounding mountains and pondered: "The mountain under our feet is a natural barrier, and they can't get around it no matter what. Let the soldiers do a good job of defense. In addition, prepare more catapults, bows and arrows, food and firewood Don't fall behind, this time the enemy is a bit difficult."

Su Yao's consciousness spread out and saw the bronze spear pinned to the opponent's waist. Although the bronze material is very brittle, it means that the opponent has mastered the bronze smelting technology.

A tribe that can smelt bronze will not be an ordinary tribe that does nothing.

The look on Qiao Shouliang's face became more serious: "Yes, my lord envoy."

The facts were as expected by Su Yao. After the group of people walked around the top of the mountain and halfway up the mountain for a long time, they found that it was impossible to go around the mountain where the other party was stationed, so they started to directly confront them.

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Man, the leader, looked arrogantly: "We have an artifact bestowed by the general, can we be afraid of these barbarians? Besides, if it is still dark today, these people might not have noticed us, as long as we climb up before dawn Going up the mountain, is there still nothing you can do about them?"

These words gave great confidence to the soldiers he led. What they held in their hands were the weapons bestowed by their own generals, which were much sharper than the wooden spears held by those barbarians.

"It is estimated that the gang of dogs on the opposite mountain will roll the stone, and let those cubs walk in front to block the stone for us." Bai Man said again.

"It's the leader." After hearing his words, the people on the side hurriedly rushed the ragged people behind him to the front.

These are slaves of their tribe. Every time they go to war, they have to take some with them to trek along with the team. They can work and eat meat, which is much easier to manage than the prey they bring.

At the same time, Qiao Shouliang on the top of the mountain discovered the existence of these people, and the catapult was ready to hit them head-on when they climbed the mountain.

It was still dark in the early morning, and with the dull sound of leather drums, both sides knew that the battle was about to begin.

The first to attack was the group of slaves under Baiman. They were forced to walk up the mountain by the people behind them with spears.

Su Yao on the top of the mountain narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene: "Don't move yet."

Qiao Shouliang and his soldiers followed suit.

After all the slaves had started to climb the mountain, Bai Man behind him cursed a curse word and drove his warriors to attack the mountain as well.

Unlike the slaves, these warriors just ran out of the foot of the mountain where they were hiding, when they were hit by a big stone oncoming, and howled all over the place for a while.

Baiman knew that those people on the top of the mountain might have discovered their existence, and they even sent those slaves up the mountain on purpose to lure them out.

The arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so Bai Man had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead his warriors to continue to rush forward.

The catapult on the top of the mountain is a second-generation weapon that has been improved to adjust the distance. It can be thrown directly to the foot of the mountain at the longest distance. After the distance is shortened, the stone falling on the mountainside can also deal with enemies halfway up the mountain.

Su Yao observed Baiman and others who had climbed halfway up the mountain, and found that although they lost a group of people, they had already estimated the traces of the falling stones, and gradually began to avoid some rolling stones.

Then the catapult was useless, and the arrows rained down on the enemy under the leadership of the stone.

Another heart-piercing wail, this time Baiman's response was simpler.He made the surviving slaves form a human wall, and he and his warriors stood behind the human wall.

The wailing sound came from those slaves.To Bai Man, the dead slaves were not a loss, and he didn't feel bad about it.

Seeing this scene, Su Yao immediately turned cold: "Stop attacking, let them come up."

Such people should be tried in front of everyone and then hacked to death. It is really cheap for them to shoot them to death.

The soldiers stopped shooting one after another, and also took out their long guns to stand ready.

Bai Man thought that the opponent had no arrows, so he quickly took this opportunity to rush up the mountain.

The morning sun had not yet appeared, and all he could see was misty gray, so he didn't see that the arrows that fell on the ground were not wood as they thought, but a material that was harder and sharper than bronze.

After finally reaching the top of the mountain, Baiman was dazzled by the tall earthen wall in front of him. He was shocked but also extremely annoyed. There was no such a good earthen wall in his own tribe, so how could this unknown small tribe have one.

With an order, Bai Man asked his subordinates to climb the wall and shoot arrows, while he headed straight for the wooden gate.

"Open the door." Su Yao said.

Before Bai Man was ready to attack the door, the door in front of him was opened, doubts arose in his heart, and he refused to enter the door for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, the wailing and pain of his subordinates sounded around him. Looking at the oncoming arrow rain and the barbarian holding a 'spear' on the dirt wall to pierce his brother, Bai Man knew that he had been tricked.

Always arrogant, he was dazzled by anger at this moment, and rushed in with his surviving subordinates without thinking about anything.

Bai Man's thinking is very simple, these people are gaining the upper hand now because of the advantage of the terrain, when he rushes in and fight face to face, he doesn't believe that these people can still avoid the bronze spear in his hand.

Bai Man took the lead and rushed into the gate.

Su Yao looked at the anger on the other party's face coldly, with extreme indifference in his eyes.

"kill~"

He waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers greeted him swiftly and silently.

This is a fight between two tribes with different ideas, it is also a fight between bronze and iron, and it is the first collision between slave society and feudal society.

Accompanied by the sound of the man's leather drum, Bai Man and the warriors led by him were defeated at an unbelievable speed.

The bronze spear, which claims to be an artifact, is no match for the strange spear in the hands of the tribe barbarians who come from nowhere.The physique and skill they are proud of are not half as agile and powerful in front of these people.

What do they use to fight with others?Even if the fight ended, it would still be the same as now, ending up in a situation of being tied up.

"You are in charge of the interrogation. I need all the information." After the battle, Su Yao probably had a prediction in his mind, so he didn't bother to spend time entangled with these people.

"Yes, my lord envoy." Qiao Shouliang saluted earnestly, "My lord, you can go and rest, just leave these to me."

At this time, in the Xishan garrison at the foot of the mountain, Zhongli rode over on a white horned horse. He was finally relieved when he heard the sound of the wild cowhide drum representing victory in the distance.

Leaving the white-horned horse behind, Zhongli used the little spiritual power in his body to go directly to the top of the mountain.

Coincidentally seeing Su Yao sitting with a blank expression on his face, Zhong Li's heart softened into a ball, and he walked over gently to hug him in his arms.

"A Yao, I'm back."

Only then did Su Yao recover from his contemplation: "Why so fast?"

Zhong Li smiled: "The matter has been settled, I will hurry back to find you first, and Chu Shan and the others can also handle it."

Su Yao thought that Zhongli was suffering from skin hunger and thirst, so he ran back in a hurry, and didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that he didn't pursue it any further, Zhong Li asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?"

Su Yao's expression turned cold: "I'm thinking about the purpose of Tiandao sending me here."

"What purpose?" Zhong Li could vaguely sense the existence of the Dao of Heaven now, and also probably knew Su Yao's origin, so he asked this question.

Su Yao's analysis: "From the perspective of the evolution of the Dao of Heaven, it obviously favors the human race, so it gives the human race a chance to develop."

When the human race prospers, the Dao of Heaven also prospers.

The slavery society should be the last trough before the development of the human race. In this low trough stage, the human race was massacred by the same kind, and the tribes fought wantonly, which led to a rapid population decline and did not pave the way for the overthrow of slavery.

This is a process of self-evolution, and it will take at least 300 years to complete the evolution.

But if Tiandao sent him here to advance this process directly, does it mean that Tiandao has no time for the wild world to complete its self-evolution in some respects?

What is Tiandao worried about?
