73 Chapter 73

[2 AR April 16]

An earthen mound was built around the unicorn tribe, on which the archers were stationed. Thanks to such tactics, almost no warrior from the unicorn tribe dared to leave the tribe.

There were some daredevils who used a few pieces of wood as shields, but these shields quickly broke under the onslaught of iron arrows.

Kato and Ivo were now in the tent and discussing future plans. Finally, Ivo said, "We cannot destroy this tribe along with its inhabitants. This will only give more reasons for the uprising of the captured people, though they dare not do anything right now, later it can greatly hinder us "

Kato nodded in agreement and then suggested, "Maybe we should try to persuade the leader of their tribe to surrender?"

Ivo didn't agree "I don't think he will agree, as far as I know, the leaders of these 5 tribes have been holding their posts for a long time, and now they are being told to give their power to other hands. Power intoxicates even the best "

Kato chuckled, "So in 100 years, you will be like them?"

Ivo thought and then replied, "Even the gods cannot know this. I think that I will definitely be susceptible to the pernicious influence of power, but not to such an extent, after all, I have slightly different ideals, I prefer my own strength, and not the one that I can lose at any moment. "

Then Ivo stopped thinking about the future and turned his attention to the real "Let's stop talk about what may not be at all, we have more important problems now."

Kato nodded in agreement and then said, "You are right, the leader may not agree, but we can try to convince the warriors and ordinary people to surrender."

[2 AR 17 April]

The leader of the unicorn tribe sat on his "throne" with a tired face, he is in tension every day, thinking about how to get out of this trouble. Some of his soldiers stopped obeying him and decided to try to break out of the encirclement, but they were quickly killed.

The only thing left for him is to wait until his people make strong enough shields and spears for him to have a chance to escape. He no longer thinks about victory, he just wants to survive in this situation.

Suddenly he heard a loud hum. Jumping up from his "throne", he ran out of his hall and ran to the place where other people had gathered.

Not finding any movement of the enemy warriors, he calmed down a bit, and then asked the nearest warrior, "What's going on?"

The warrior shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I don't know, the enemies only buzzed into the bugle, but nothing else happened"

Suddenly a young man jumped down from a high earthen embankment, he put his hands behind his back and began to approach the tribe with a calm step.

The warriors of the tribe began to reconsider, they did not understand if this guy was a fool or just brave?

Finally, the leader of the tribe broke down and shouted, "What the hell are you doing here? Decided to die? "

Ivo did not pay attention to him, instead, he stopped and looked at everyone with his stern gaze. The people of the tribe felt how they began to feel uncomfortable under this gaze as if a dire wolf was looking at its prey.

Ivo spoke up "I am the leader of the Raven tribe, the very tribe that captured all other tribes, except for your tribe there are no other tribes left, and my warriors have now surrounded this place and are ready to completely destroy you at any moment."

After giving these people a little time to reflect, Ivo continued, "But you don't know that I am against destroying my own blood brothers and only you yourself are forcing me to do it."

The leader of the unicorn tribe growled "Bastard, it was you who began to conquer other tribes, no one provoked you."

Ivo nodded in agreement and said, "It's almost as you say, only it was not me who started it all, but the previous leader, but I would have done the same. Anyway, since I was in the southern lands and I know that what is against what we fought, this is only a small fraction of all that the southerners have. And sooner or later, the southerners will get tired of our existence and they will want to destroy us. "

"Trust me, their strength will be more than enough to destroy us. That is why I decided that the only way to survive is to unite all the tribes into a single organism under one rule: mine. "

"Your tribe is the only obstacle to my plans. I urge you to surrender and not resist. If you surrender, you will have a better life, you and your families will be fed, and your descendants will have a chance not to be destroyed by the southerners "

The people of the unicorn tribe began to think about this, everyone in the tribes knows about the huge army of southerners, since many soldiers were lost during the war.

But the leader did not want to give up, he shouted out "Lies, blatant lies. Are you saying that the southerners have a stronger army than they were before? Do you think we are idiots? "

Ivo sighed wearily, and then said, "There is a lot to learn about southerners in my tribe now, but it's your right not to believe it."

Then he turned his gaze to the warriors of the tribe "You are brave warriors of your tribe and you do not want to cowardly surrender, I understand you, you have not yet come up with such an order to live surrendering to the enemy, but think about what will happen next."

Pointing a finger at the common people, he said, "Besides you, your loved ones, your wives and husbands, your children and grandchildren will also suffer. Do you really want them to die as well as you? "

"Therefore, I will give you a chance, within 5 days, my warriors will not shoot at people who will leave the tribe. Of course, only if you have nothing but clothes. After you surrender, you become plebeians, but after a few years, you can become real members of the tribe. "

After completing his words, Ivo turned around and calmly walked towards the exit from the tribe.

The leader of the tribe was angry with the insolence of his enemy, so he grabbed a spear and threw it at Ivo, in the hope that it would solve all the problems.

But Ivo turned sharply and used [Grip], grabbing the spear, he frowned and then saw whoever did it. Without hesitation, he took good aim, and then sharply threw a spear at the leader.

The leader did not expect such a development of events, so he did not even have time to dodge and the spear pierced his right knee. Now, even with his regeneration, he will remain crippled forever.

Turning around, Ivo continued on his way to the exit, not paying attention to the cries of the wounded leader.
