1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 80 [Main Battle faction]

Fang Lian became more and more angry, his face was red and his ears were red: "Stupid wolf, you lackey of the Apaches! Chief, we should immediately form a coalition to attack Sleeping Bear!"

The vertical wolf was much calmer, almost turning a blind eye to him: "Chief Owl, I hope you can respect the plain tribe and let me bring back the traitor square face."

"You—" Fang Lian tried to make a move, but was stopped by the owl.

The owl stood up and looked at the vertical wolf: "Go back and tell the horse whistle that Square Face is a Comanche, and I won't let you take him away."

Then he took a deep breath and raised his voice: "The Shuanglang clan also belongs to the Comanche. If the horse whistle is unwilling to hand over the Shuanglang clan, I will, I will consider calling the Comanche allied forces and make you pay the price!"

The vertical wolf didn't say much, just turned his head and left.

After the vertical wolf left the tent, Fang Lian gritted his teeth and said, "Great chief, we can't let this traitor leave, we should catch him back and scalp him!"

"Anyway, his current identity is an envoy." Owl shook his head, "Killing an envoy is against the rules."

"Then we should also form a coalition as soon as possible." Fang Lian pointed to the direction where the vertical wolf left, "It has only been half a year, and someone from the Shuanglang clan has completely betrayed Comanche. If it continues to delay, it won't take long before they Everyone will be an Apache!"

The owl had a headache, and sighed slightly: "I know...let me think about it."

In the following period of time, he was always in a dilemma.

Fang Lian has been persuading him to attack Sleeping Bear, and he has indeed let the vertical wolf speak harshly.But if he was really asked to do it, he still didn't dare.

For many days, the owl spent in hesitation, almost unable to sleep at night.

Sometimes his blood surged up and he wanted to follow Fang Lian's advice, and sometimes he was timid, worried about losing the war.

Until this day, an unexpected guest came to the Forest Tribe.

"Brokenbow chief!" The owl looked at the visiting guest, a great chief of the Arapaho people, in surprise.

"Haha, long time no see, Owl." Chief Broken Bow, about 40 years old, with a burly figure and especially thick arms, greeted him warmly.

The owl reacted, and immediately showed a warm smile: "Welcome, Broken Bow."

The Forest Tribe held a welcoming ceremony for Chief Brokenbow. Around the bonfire, the air was filled with the smell of spirits and barbecue.

The two great chiefs sat together, holding wine bags, and drank spirits together.

"Owl, we are old friends." Broken Bow put down his wine bag, "I am here this time to form a coalition with you to counterattack the Apaches."

The news surprised the owl.

He was hesitating whether to attack Sleeping Bear, but he did not expect that reinforcements from the Arapaho came at this time.

Of course, this is not too surprising.As a warlike people, the Arapaho are almost always associated with war.When he saw the broken bow, he had a faint expectation in his heart.

The owl did not express his thoughts immediately, but asked first: "As far as I know, haven't you already ceased fighting with the Apaches?"

"Hmph." Duan Gong snorted, as if remembering something unpleasant, "It was the cowards like Crow who wanted to stop the war, but I didn't agree. I have always been a staunch fighter!"

Owl said nothing.

Duan Gong continued to say to himself: "What are they talking about about the sons of the sky, saying that all the aborigines should let go of their hatred and unite as one... I think they are simply cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death!"

The owl thought for a while: "How many tribes in Arapaho plan to counterattack Apache?"

"Cough... two." Duan Gong was obviously a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject, "But I also contacted two Cheyenne tribes, plus your forest tribe, it must be no problem to organize a thousand coalition troops, or even a thousand five hundred People. How is it?"

The owl did not agree, but took another sip of wine, as if thinking: "If we form a coalition, are we going to deal with the entire Apache family?"

"Of course!" Duan Gong blurted out.

Owl shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary. Among the Apaches, the most dangerous one is the Sleeping Bear clan, which is the clan ruled by the 'Son of the Sky'. I don't need to say much about his record."

After a pause, he continued: "We should concentrate on attacking the Sleeping Bear clan instead of fighting the entire Apache."

Duan Gong didn't take it seriously: "The horse post is indeed dangerous, but after all, it's just a clan. Our three-clan alliance only attacked his small clan. Isn't it a joke to say it?"

"It seems that you don't know the current situation of the horse post." The owl smiled.

"how?"

"Horse Whistle has become the great chief of the Plains Tribe, and he has gathered almost the entire tribe of Apaches into his clan. Now his clan has as many as 2000 people." Owl said slowly.

Duan Gong was very surprised: "Really?"

Owl nodded: "So I said, we should only attack Sleeping Bear. A Sleeping Bear clan is already quite powerful. If it is against the entire Apache family, our chances of winning may not be high."

Broken Bow was silent for half a second: "How could it be possible to only deal with the Sleeping Bear clan? As you said, Horse Whistle has already commanded the plain tribe. If we attack the plain tribe, other Apache tribes will definitely support him."

The owl smiled and said: "If you can stay out of it, tribes are often not willing to support each other."

"In fact, the Sleeping Bear clan annexed one of my clans. We can use this as a reason to tell other Apache tribes that we have no intention of being an enemy of the entire Apache, but just want to take back the clan from Sleeping Bear."

"In this way, other Apache tribes will at least reduce their support to Sleeping Bear, and our coalition forces will surely win."

Duan Gong thought for a while: "It makes sense."

The two talked again, and quickly reached an agreement, confirming that they will form a coalition army to jointly attack Sleeping Bear in the near future.

"I have one more request," said the owl at last.

Duan Gong seemed to guess what he was thinking: "Slave?"

"Yes."

Duan Gong waved his hand indifferently: "No problem, when we defeat the Sleeping Bear Clan, you will pick the captives first. Are you going to sell these slaves to white people?"

"Of course not, we use it ourselves. Some of our Utah slaves died not long ago." The owl shook his head and said, "It's worthless to sell to white people, and it's not black slaves."

Duan Gong smiled and said: "If you ask me, except for women, it is more convenient to kill other captives directly, slaves are useless."

On the North American continent at this time, not only white people kept slaves, but some Indians also kept slaves.

Even some free blacks kept slaves, and they were not much different from white slave owners. They still liked black slaves, after all, black slaves were the most valuable.

There are also many kinds of slaves. In addition to the most common black slaves, there are also white slaves and Indian slaves.

White slaves are mainly indentured slaves, such as gamblers who owe money to sell themselves; Indian slaves mainly come from wars, for example, some Comanches like to turn captured enemies into slaves.

All in all, North America in this era is very free, and it is not surprising who enslaves anyone.
