Chapter 628 Totem (Part 2)

Moka was stunned for a moment when he heard this question from Chief Nalu.

Then he showed a helpless smile to Na Lu.

"Team Leader Lu, you are joking."

"How could I not know why soldiers were tattooed with totems on their faces?"

"In the tribe, even the children who are only a few years old know why we tattoo two black dots under the corners of the warriors' eyes."

As soon as Moka finished speaking, Nalu nodded.

"Then, Moka, tell me."

"Tell me why we tattoo black dots under the corners of the soldiers' eyes - our totem."

"Eh?"

Moka looked at Nalu in astonishment.

Patriarch, why do you suddenly ask me to talk about this? Moka asked Nalu with his eyes.

Nalu, who understood the meaning of Moka's eyes, whispered:

"I just suddenly want someone to tell me how the totems on our faces came from. Come on, Moka. Don't waste our time."

"Ah good."

Moka cleared his throat.

Then he said loudly:

"A long time ago, when we Lake people didn't have the custom of tattooing totems on the faces of warriors."

"At that time, there was a huge snake coiled on Mount Bra."

"The body of this giant snake is thicker than the trunk of any tree."

"In order to appease and please this bloodthirsty giant snake, we Lake people send out several children under the age of 8 as sacrifices to this giant snake every year."

"Continuously offering pitiful sacrifices to keep the tribe alive for a while."

"Until one day, a warrior stepped forward."

"He decided to conquer this giant snake and put an end to this ridiculous sacrifice."

"This brave warrior is named Posoluf."

"Bosoluf gathered a group of like-minded warriors and launched a crusade against this giant snake."

"After a day and night of fierce fighting, the soldiers successfully killed the giant snake."

"It's a pity...Bosoluf died in this battle with the giant snake."

"In order to commemorate this warrior who was not afraid of the dominance of the giant snake and took the lead in resisting, since then, we have tattooed a black dot under the corner of each warrior's eye."

"Because - under the corners of Bosoluf's eyes, there is an obvious black mole on each side."

"In this way, we

Commemorating this great warrior until now. "

"In these hundreds of years of inheritance, the black spots under the eyes of the warriors are no longer just to commemorate Posoluf."

"The black dots under the corners of the soldiers' eyes have become the totem symbol of our Lake people."

“Became a symbol of us Lakers.”

"It became a source of pride for us Lakers."

After saying that, Moka couldn't help but raise his hand and touched the black dots pierced under the corners of his eyes.

No matter how many times Moka told Posoluf's heroic deeds, he could not help but be moved.

"Has it become the pride of us Lakers..."

As soon as Moka finished speaking, Nalu murmured softly.

"You said it well, thank you, Moka."

After saying that, Nalu stood up from the smooth rock.

"Moka, you should go back to bed quickly. I'll leave first."

After giving Moka a few simple words, Nalu turned around and left without looking back.

Moka didn't notice that when Nalu turned around and left, the confusion in Nalu's eyes receded slightly.

…

After watching Patriarch Nalu leave, Moka turned back and looked at the vast Milky Way above his head.

Moka murmured while touching the black spots stuck under the corners of his eyes:

"Totem..."

Moka recalled the origin of the totems on their faces, and then murmured:

"The ancestors were so powerful... Facing the terrifying giant snake, they still had the courage to resist..."

"If only...we could have the courage of our ancestors..."

Moka unconsciously clenched the palms of his hands hanging on his legs.

…

…

The next day.

The Britannias sent again today.

But——Lu Ge was not sent today.

Instead, he sent a team of soldiers over, tied a letter to an arrow, shot it into their Helai tribe, and then left.

This newly delivered letter is full of tough rhetoric.

This letter was an ultimatum from the Britannia side.

The letter read: Only give them the last two days of the Helay tribe.

In these last two days, decide whether to fight or surrender.

If no reply is given after these two days, then their Helai tribe will be wiped out once and for all by force.

After receiving this ultimatum from the Britannias, various emotions and atmosphere began to spread among the tribe.

Someone is suffering.

Someone is sad.

Some people are desperate.

There are also people who are...angry.

…

Nalu's mansion was now crowded with warriors from the tribe.

Because the mansion is not large enough, some soldiers are waiting anxiously outside the mansion.

"Clan leader..."

A soldier said in a deep voice to Nalu:

"Let's fight with the Britannias!"

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, another soldier added:

"Yes! Chief! Let's fight with the Britannia people! I don't want the Britannia people to look down on us! They think that we Lake people are all a bunch of cowards who dare not resist!"

The soldiers who continued also shouted at this time:

"Chief! We can't let the Britannia people look down on us!"

"Let Britannias know we are not to be trifled with!"

"Clan leader!"

"Let's fight! Patriarch!"

…

Moka was also in the house at this time.

Moka stood at the back of the soldiers and remained silent.

However, his fists were clenched tightly and his lips were pursed tightly.

Na Lu, who was sitting expressionlessly on the wooden chair, moved his eyes.

Nalu's eyes flashed across the young faces in front of him.

"Young people."

Nalu said in a deep voice.

"I am no less angry at Britannians than you are."

"But, do you know what the consequences will be if we resist the Britannia people and trick that Su Cheng?"

"You also know the results of the previous surprise attack with the Kolan tribe, right?"

"We are no match for the Britons."

"In that battle, our Hellai tribe lost about 100 comrades, while the Britannia people suffered only very few losses."

"If we choose to resist, we will definitely die!"

"Even so - are you still willing to fight the Britannians with your sword?"

Nalu's words seemed to have some magic power.

The originally noisy mansion instantly became silent.

Nalu's words just now made almost every soldier's face look a little ugly.

At this moment, an astonishing shout came from behind the crowd:

"I'm not afraid!"

Everyone, including Na Lu, followed the sound and looked.

It’s Moka standing at the back!

Moka separated everyone standing in front of him and walked slowly to Nalu.

Looking directly into Nalu's eyes, he said loudly again:

"I'm not afraid!"

"Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors knew how to resist when faced with the terrifying giant snake!"

"Knowing that it is almost impossible to succeed, we still launch a crusade against the giant snake without hesitation!"

"Even if we know that the odds of winning are slim, we have no hesitation - our ancestors could do it, and there is no reason why we can't do it!"

"I don't want to die, but I don't want the Britons to simply set foot on our land!"

Moka's shouting was astonishingly powerful.

Even the dust on the wooden beams above his head seemed to be shaken off by Moka's shouting with astonishing momentum.

While Moka looked directly into Nalu's eyes, Nalu was also looking directly into Moka's eyes.

After Moka's shouting stopped for a while, Nalu slowly stood up from the wooden chair.

While standing up, he whispered:

"Send one of your men to find Luge in the Britannian stronghold at the foot of the mountain. Just tell him - I have something to say to him."
