Yeah, in the face of the aggressiveness of the feuding tribes. What else can your tribe do now?
The sudden attack in the morning has told the tribe that the oasis where their ancestors lived is no longer safe.
In the early attack, the tribesmen had already suffered a lot of losses, and many children had lost their parents. More tribesmen have lost their relatives, so if the tribe does not migrate, they will have to face more severe storms.
With the strength of the Bagir tribe, they simply cannot face the coming threat.
News came from the alliance tribes that the large tribes that are now eyeing them have 60,000 warriors under their command, and hundreds of thousands of tribesmen.
The Bagir tribe has a population of less than 5,000, and its adult warriors are only over 1,000.
Of course, if you include underage children and women who can hold swords, the number will be even higher.
But the problem is, even if those children and women pick up swords, their fighting ability is scum.
At best, these people are just cannon fodder and cannot be of any help to the tribe.
What¡¯s more, children and women are the future and hope of the tribe. If the losses of these people are too great, then the tribe will not be able to continue to exist.
Women can give birth to the next generation of people for the tribe, and the children are the future of the tribe.
Therefore, only idiots would let these people pick up swords and fight the enemy.
Of course, if the tribe really reaches the point of destruction, there is no need to consider this issue.
But although the tribe is in great crisis now, it has not yet reached the time of destruction.
So, should we continue to stay, or should we go to the assembly point informed by the Alliance Tribe in order to preserve the tribe¡¯s vitality?
This choice is actually not difficult to make at all.
It¡¯s just that the girl is a little reluctant to leave this oasis where her ancestors lived.
¡°But she also knows it. I am unwilling to give up, but I cannot let other people in the tribe fall into the danger of despair for their own selfish reasons.
Therefore, after the girl listened to her father's words, she could only nod slowly and reluctantly.
"Yes, father, I have no way to change the current situation. It seems that the only way to avoid the fate of destruction is to move the tribe away."
Seeing that his daughter had figured this out, a smile appeared on Chief Oma's face.
To be honest, he can be said to be very satisfied with this daughter, because her bones are full of a character that refuses to admit defeat, and a toughness that is not inferior to that of a man.
This is what makes a leader.
You can foresee if something unexpected happens to you. Then there is no problem for the daughter to take over as the chief of the tribe.
However, Chief Omar is also a little dissatisfied with her daughter.
That is because she is too young and has too little experience.
Therefore, she is still too immature in her judgment on many things.
"However, this is not a big problem. These can be made up for as she grows older.
If you really have any dissatisfaction. That's because he regrets that he is a daughter and not a son.
In the Arab concept, it is also very patriarchal.
This aspect is no different from that of Orientals, and is even heavier.
After all, men are more useful than women in this era and environment.
What¡¯s more, it¡¯s still the early seventeenth century.
However, Chief Oma only has one daughter. So even if he had some regrets, he could only keep them quietly in his heart.
Fortunately, although my daughter is not a man, she is still very good in many places, no worse than ordinary men.
At the same time, the elders in the tribe also like her very much.
This ensures the possibility that she will become a chief in the future and continue to lead the tribe.
only. Chief Omar often laments the series of changes taking place in the Cuman region.
"A more intense war is about to break out in the Cuman region. In such an environment, can my daughter still endure it?"
"Chief, we don't have much time left. The people who attacked us today are a small tribe affiliated with the Tata tribe. And it can be seen that these people are not too far away from our tribe. "
One of them sat next to Chief OmaThe elder reminded him with a very serious expression.
Yes, now that we have been able to launch a surprise attack on the Bajir tribe, even if the opponent has a small number of people, this is still a very bad signal.
It can be seen that the number of enemies in these raids is not large, and they should be some forwards.
Then, behind them, there must be a large-scale army.
"Have you sent someone out to investigate?"
Chief Oma asked.
The elder nodded: "When Miss went out to chase those enemies, I had already sent people out to scout the area. I think it won't take long to get the news."
Chief Omar nodded slowly, and then narrowed his gaze: "Let's leave here when the people who went out to investigate come back. Now you go out and notify the tribe and ask everyone to clean up quickly. Time is very tight for us. ."
Chief Oma doesn¡¯t want to delay it any longer.
God knows if we continue to waste time like this, we will miss the most favorable opportunity to leave.
He doesn¡¯t want to lead the entire tribe to destruction. If such a situation occurs, then he will be a big sinner.
When the time comes, when you die and see your ancestors, what will they look like?
Hearing this, the elders responded one after another, and then left the tent where Chief Oma was, to mobilize the people and start packing.
The assembly point given by the Alliance Tribe is east of the Bagir Tribe, near a coastline near the Persian Gulf.
According to the news from the alliance, there are a total of thirteen tribes in the alliance. When the time comes, they will all gather there, gather the population and warriors, and then face and deal with the crisis together.
To be honest, there is no other way.
If the tribes in the alliance were taken out individually, they would not be able to face the upcoming crisis of war.
Therefore, only by pooling everyone¡¯s strength can we be able to face the crisis with some strength.
"However, even the tribal forces are concentrated. Compared with the strength of the enemy they have to fight, it is still very small.
But this is better than everyone fighting on their own and being defeated by the enemy one by one.
Besides, after the tribe¡¯s strength was concentrated, the number of warriors also increased relatively.
Although it is inferior to the enemy, it can still make the enemy fearful.
"Father, what will happen to Aziz and the others after we leave? Should we send someone to inform him? Otherwise, we will not be found when Elder Aziz returns from Cairo."
Miss Farie, the daughter of Chief Omar, the most outstanding warrior in the tribe, and the heir that everyone favored, was looking at his father with a serious face and asked.
"I have already considered this issue. When the time comes, I will send someone to inform Elder Aziz. Tell him that we have left here and headed to the assembly area."
After getting her father¡¯s answer, Farie nodded.
"I don't know if Elder Aziz has been in contact with the Song people. It has been so long and no news has come back. This is really worrying."
After hearing what his daughter said, Chief Oma laughed helplessly.
"Many things are not as easy as imagined. The Song people took over the Cuman Desert area from the Ottomans, so it can be seen that the Song Empire is also a powerful country. And we are just a small country in the desert. They are just tribes, so if we contact them and want to get help and refuge, it will not be so easy to succeed. If it were so easy, it wouldn't be so difficult for us to deal with the Ottomans."
Looking at his daughter, Chief Oma told her some reasons.
Farie is not a fool either. She is not one of those frivolous women.
Therefore, she understood the meaning of what her father said very well.
"The Ottomans are not easy to deal with, and I think it will be the same with the Song people. But under the current situation, we have to contact the Song people and get help from them."
The girl whispered in a frustrated voice.
"Silly boy, anyone wants to survive in this world. These things are inevitable. What's more, we have to consider not only ourselves, but also the tribesmen who follow us. So, if you Once you become the chief and take over my position, you won¡¯t be able to do as you please with many things. You need to consider all aspects before doing so.¡±
Omar looked at her daughter with doting eyes, raised her hand and gently stroked Farie's golden hair hanging on her shoulders.??, said to her slowly.
"I understand what my father said, but what if those Song people are difficult to contact?"
The girl raised her head, looked at her father with jewel-like blue eyes, and asked a question.
¡°Well Chief Omar pondered for a moment.
To be honest, my daughter¡¯s worries are not unreasonable.
After all, nothing can develop according to your own plan, right?
Therefore, it is very likely that the people of Song Dynasty would ignore the people they sent to contact him.
It¡¯s like the Ottomans.
When the Ottomans ruled the Cuman region, this was how they treated the various tribes living here.
You can give me gifts, but it is absolutely impossible to get help from the Ottomans.
Furthermore, the Ottomans would not accept any vassal tribes here, and would secretly instigate confrontations between tribes from time to time. They would sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight and collect profits from fishermen.
So, do the people of Song Dynasty also have such a plan?
But thinking about some of the rumors about the Cairo Song people that the merchants had said, Chief Omar felt that he could take a gamble on this matter.
Because those merchants said that these Song people were easy to deal with and their style of conduct was different from that of the Ottomans.
??Besides, the Cuman area is in such chaos now. If the Song people want to take over here, they also need settled households like the Bagir tribe, don't they?
Thinking of this, Omar responded to Farie and said: "I think there is a great possibility that the Song people will agree to cooperate with us and provide us with help"
