Chapter 227 Wildmane Tribe
While Purficott was concentrating on studying the body structure and movement patterns of snakes, the indigenous girl Lily also returned to her tribe.

The Wildmane tribe is a local indigenous tribe living in the north. They are famous for domesticating horses. The ancestral spirit they worship is also the soul of a chestnut wild horse. The most commonly used decoration is to hang a strand of horsehair on the body, and the entire tribe is named after it. name.

Lily's status in the Wildmane tribe is somewhat special. She is the tribe's shaman, but she has not yet started her training, and is just an apprentice.

Although their lifestyle still remains in primitive tribal society, the indigenous tribes in the north are not without extraordinary beings.

They gain power from the ancestral spirits by making offerings to them, thus being able to acquire some of their animal characteristics.

For example, a tribe that worships ferocious beasts such as bears and tigers will be able to become physically stronger on the battlefield, while an eagle tribe will have keen vision.

This kind of warriors who have gained the power bestowed by the ancestral spirits are called ancestral warriors. The most powerful among them can even gain the ability to transform into some animals in a short period of time.

For example, after wearing bear skin, the ancestral warriors of the bear tribe can make their bodies as tall and strong as bears, and at the same time, sharp nails grow on their palms, as strong and powerful as bear paws.

The Wild Mane tribe also has ancestral warriors, but because the ancestral spirits enshrined are horses, the main ability of the Wild Mane tribe's warriors is to run very fast, which is somewhat behind those powerful tribes.

This also makes the Wild Mane Tribe not a big tribe. After the Victoria Empire gradually occupied the New World, the Wild Mane Tribe was forced to continue to migrate north. They originally lived in the forests further south near the plains, and now they also I had to go deep into the forests of the north to make a living.

Because the Wildmane tribe was not good at fighting, they avoided these things. Although the tribe's strength suffered a certain loss, it was not much. After migrating north to the northern border, their lives gradually returned to peace.

If it were tribes such as bears, tigers, and eagles, they might not be rescuing people, but would start a war with the White Bear Knight.

This is why Lily doesn't have a bad attitude towards the White Bear Knight, and even takes the initiative to save people.

In a sense, the Wildmane tribe is relatively lucky. Although they lost the territory left by their ancestors, at least they did not face the empire's army directly. Unlike some powerful large tribes, a large number of people were directly slaughtered. The population and even the ancestral spirits were destroyed by the empire.

Although life was a little harder than before, it was still manageable, and the products in the north were rich. The population of their tribe increased slightly after integrating a small tribe, and the scale expanded a lot.

But similarly, if they were to fight against the White Bear Knight, unless they were powerful senior ancestral warriors, they would have no chance of winning against the fully armed Imperial Knights, and would only be unilaterally slaughtered by the White Bear Knight.

Although the ancestral spirits and ancestor warriors are not weak, they are still not enough to face the empire's muskets and cannons.

As for their original territory? Then let other tribes driven out by the Victoria Empire occupy it.

This is not to say how powerful the White Bear Knight is. There is no obvious difference between the two in terms of physical fitness. Even the ancestor warriors are more wild and physically stronger due to years of hunting and fighting.

But the Imperial Knights have learned combat skills in fighting humans since elementary school, and their equipment is also a reflection of the Empire's industrial strength. It can be said that they are almost armed to the teeth.

Not to mention the White Bear Knight and the Steam Knight Armor, which completely widen the generation gap. And what about the ancestral warriors? Those who lack iron smelting skills usually have relatively primitive stone axes in their hands. It would be great to have a slightly better iron axe.

As for the armor? Sorry, the defensive equipment they can usually use is animal fur. After being tanned and worn on the body, it can also play a certain protective role.

After all, they were fighting against the local people's own stone axes and inferior iron axes, so the problem was really not big.

But in the face of the sharp swords and furs created by the rapidly iterative metal formulas and forging processes after the industrialization of the empire? Even if you make it into leather, it will be difficult to resist.

Not to mention that the imperial knights sometimes used weapons called blunderbuss, and the ancestor warriors had to face the imperial muskets and cannons.

So when Charlie gave Lily his dagger, although the little girl didn't want Charlie's thanks, she still accepted this rare weapon for her and even for the Wildmane tribe.

Lily, who returned to the tribe with the dagger, found her father, a highly qualified ancestral warrior of the Wildmane tribe. She showed the dagger to her father as if it were a treasure, hoping that he would accept the weapon.

"Lily, where did this come from?" As an ancestral warrior, Lily's father naturally realized that this was definitely not something Lily could obtain, so he hurriedly asked.

Lily explained to her father that this was a thank you gift she received for saving a white man's warrior in the forest, and asked at the same time: "Abba, what's the problem with this? I know I shouldn't accept things from white people, but your ax It’s been used for many years and it’s time for a new weapon.”

"Silly girl, white people have never been to the North before, especially in this season! They appear in the North, and I'm afraid the tribe will migrate again." Lily's father had frowned, and he held a hand for them. The dagger, which was comparable to a magic weapon, was entangled.

Unlike Lily, Lily's father had no experience with white people and the empire. When he was young, he had seen how the imperial army suppressed tribes who dared to challenge the empire.

So he knew exactly what it meant for white people to appear in the north.

"Lily, tell me again where you met that white warrior." Lily's father seemed to have made some decision. After asking Lily where he met the White Bear Knight, he told her to take care of him. Staying in the tribe, he went to find the chief and shaman of the tribe with a dagger.

After explaining the situation to the tribe's chief and shaman, Lily's father also expressed his concerns about the arrival of the white men.

Faced with this sudden news, the chief and the shaman fell into sorrow and worry for a while. After thinking for a long time, they decided to let Lily's father take people to take a look.

At least understand how many white people there are and what exactly they come to the north for.

Lily's father accepted this task, summoned several good players and some young people from the tribe, left the tribe together, and rushed towards the location Lily mentioned.
