67 Chapter 67

[2 year AR March 13]

Although the temperature in the valley has risen, there is still snow here, so no tribe has yet emerged from their territories, but a legion of troops with iron swords and shields marching in an even formation across the snow-covered field.

Ivo also followed alongside the legion. Suddenly Kato walking next to him said "We almost arrived at the snake tribe."

Ivo nodded and said "Surround the tribe, I don't want to have extra victims, so let's try to lure all the warriors"

Hearing the order, Kato immediately went to carry it out.

After 30 minutes, the entire tribe was encircled. Of course, the inhabitants of the snake tribe could not help but notice such a movement, so a tall and sturdy old man, apparently the leader, growled gloomily, "Who are you and what the hell are you doing?"

Ivo said loudly "We are from the Raven tribe, came here to conquer your tribe. I don't want to waste time on this, so I offer only two options: Surrender and you will be spared or die. "

The chief frowned and then said, "Raven Tribe? Messengers from the fox and horse tribe have already come to us, telling about you. Do you really think that they will just leave that you attacked our tribe? "

Ivo chuckled, "The Fox and Horse tribes are gone, these tribes have already been captured by us. I repeat, surrender or die "

The leader was slightly frightened, because these two tribes were much larger and stronger than the snake tribe, moreover, the leader knew that there was a strong shaman in the fox tribe, but even with that, these tribes were conquered.

Bared his teeth, he shouted "I don't believe you, you are lying so that we just surrender to you."

Ivo shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I don't need to lie to you, your tribe is small, I didn't want to waste extra energy, but you chose death. I give you 10 minutes to get ready "

Again, Ivo gives them time to prepare so that there are no unnecessary victims from the tribe, because the more deaths, the more hatred for the Raven tribe. And as Ivo said earlier, tyrants do not rule for long.

Although the leader of the tribe did not understand what 10 minutes meant, he realized that he had little time, so after 7 minutes a crowd of warriors gathered around the tribe, which was eager to fight.

Ivo transferred the command of the troops to Kato, and he himself began to closely monitor the battle, in case the enemy again had a strong shaman.

Kato began giving orders, but instead of Javelins, he led out a cohort of troops with bows in hand. Yes, Ivo also decided to train archers over the winter, although the javelins were effective, they gave way to the constant rain of arrows, so he decided to change the legion and add one cohort of archers to this.

By the way, bows were already known in the tribe, but they were primitive, but with the advent of iron, Ivo experimented with different materials and eventually created suitable composite bows for people with superhuman strength.

The archers began to draw the string and take aim. When everyone was ready, Kato gave another order and the archers let go of the bowstring, firing arrows into the air.

The enemy leader was experienced, he immediately realized about the approaching danger, so he ordered his people to scatter with a loud roar.

The warriors, without hesitation, began to move away from each other, but some were not so fast or they were simply unlucky and arrows began to kill them.

Barbarians were defenseless against arrows, only a few of them had the appearance of shields. The chief, angry that he had lost many soldiers from just one attack, rushed forward at an even greater speed, wanting to tear these archers apart.

Kato, seeing that the enemy troops had reached dangerous proximity to the archers, gave another order. And the legionnaires with swords and shields ran forward, and the archers began to retreat back.

The leader arrived to the legionnaires first, so, swinging his club, he struck the first one with all his might. But the legionnaire did the same as he was taught during the training, he blocked the blow of the club with his shield.

Unfortunately, the blow was too strong and the legionnaire could not attack in any way, he fell to one knee, holding his shield over his head.

The leader once again tried to swing his club, but suddenly from the side of him they hit him with the corner of the shield, from this blow the leader staggered, but then another blow, but from the other side and with a sword, not a shield, was inflicted on him under the rib.

The leader's vision began to be covered with a bloody veil, but the legionnaire who was kneeling before him rose and jerked his sword into the leader's jaw. Then, drawing out his sword, he cut off the head of the already dead leader with a sharp movement.

Although their leader died, many of the barbarians only became even more angry and, ignoring the wounds from the arrows, began to attack the legion. But to their regret, the further scenario was not in their favor.

As before, each legionnaire acted together with his comrades, so there were 3 legionnaires for each barbarian.

After 30 minutes, only blood, the corpses of barbarians and living legionnaires remained on the battlefield. Nodding in satisfaction to more coordinated action than before, Ivo said to Kato "Do everything the same as in the horse tribe, do not touch people with mild symptoms, kill the rest. Then we will send people to the outpost, and we need to move to the tribe of the white lion. "

Kato just nodded and went off to give further orders.

Ivo looked at the system notification.

[You captured a small tribe +2500 FP]

Although during the winter he received points, there were already very few of them, since the poisonous salt in the tribes was running out, but now Ivo had several free points.

After a little thought, Ivo decided to expand his storage and spent 2000 FP, his cube reached the dimensions of 30 X 30 cm. Now it is no longer a small cube, but a small box in which you can even put a dagger.
