When he heard this question from the head of the Lu clan, Moka was stunned.

Then he smiled helplessly at Nalu.

"Team leader Lu, you're kidding."

"How could I not know why I put a totem on the faces of the soldiers?"

"In the tribe, even children as young as a few years old know why we stab two black dots under the corners of the soldiers' eyes."

As soon as Moka's voice fell, Nalu nodded.

"Well, mocha, tell me about it."

"Tell me why we put black dots under the corners of the soldiers' eyes - that is, our totem."

"Hey?"

Moka looked at Nalu in amazement.

Patriarch, why do you want me to say this all of a sudden - Mocha asked Nalu with his eyes.

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

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

"Ah... OK."

Mocha cleared his throat.

Then Lang channel:

"A long time ago, when we lake people, there was no custom of tattooing totems on the faces of soldiers."

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

"The body of this giant snake is stronger than that of any tree."

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

"Continue to contribute poor sacrifices to get the people to live for a while."

"Until one day, a soldier came forward."

"He decided to crusade against the giant snake and end this absurd sacrifice."

"This brave soldier is named posorov."

"Posoluv summoned a group of soldiers like him and launched a crusade against the giant snake."

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

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

"In order to commemorate the warrior who was not afraid of the rule of the giant snake and took the lead in revolt, we have tattooed a black dot under the corners of each soldier's eyes since then."

"Because - there is a very obvious mole under the corners of posoluv's eyes."

"In this way, we commemorate this great warrior until now."

"In these centuries of inheritance, the black spots under the corners of the soldiers' eyes are not only used to commemorate posoluv."

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

"It has become a symbol of our lake people."

"It has become the pride of our lake people."

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

No matter how many times Moka said about posoluv's heroic deeds, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Has it become the pride of our lake people..."

As soon as Mocha's voice fell behind, Nalu whispered softly.

"You speak very well. Thank you, mocha."

Then Nalu stood up from the smooth rock.

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

After telling Mocha a few words, Lu turned away without looking back.

Moka didn't find that when Nalu turned and left, the confused color in Nalu's eyes receded slightly.

……

After seeing the leader of Nalu leave, Moka turned back and looked at the vast Milky way above his head.

Moka murmured as he touched the black spots under the corners of his eyes:

"Totem..."

Moka recalled the origin of the totem on their faces, and then whispered:

"The ancestors are so powerful... They still have the courage to resist in the face of the terrible giant snake..."

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

The palms of his hands, which hung over his legs, were unconsciously clenched.

……

……

The next day.

The britannians sent again today.

It's just -- I didn't send Lugar today.

Instead, they sent a team of soldiers, tied a letter to the arrow, shot it into their herai department, and left.

The new letter was full of tough words.

This letter is an ultimatum from the britannians.

The letter said: only give them the last two days of hellai department.

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

If no reply is given after these two days, they will wipe out the hellai department once and forever by force.

After receiving this ultimatum from the britannians, all kinds of emotions and atmosphere began to spread in the tribe.

Someone is in pain.

Some people are sad.

Some people are desperate.

Others... Angry.

……

Nalu's house was now crowded with tribal soldiers.

Because the area of the residence was not enough, some soldiers waited anxiously outside the residence.

"Patriarch..."

A soldier whispered to Nalu:

"Let's fight the britannians!"

As soon as the soldier's voice fell, another soldier added:

"Yes! Patriarch! Fight the britannians! I don't want britannians to look down on us! Think we lake people are a bunch of cowards who dare not resist! "

The soldiers who continued to fight shouted:

"Patriarch! We cannot be looked down upon by the britannians! "

"Let the britannians know we're not easy to mess with!"

"Patriarch!"

"Spell it! Patriarch! "

……

Moka is also in the house at this time.

Moka stood behind the soldiers, silent.

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

Nalu, who sat on the wooden chair without expression, moved his eyes.

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

"Young people."

The Lu murmured.

"I am no less angry with the britannians than you."

"But do you know what will happen if we rebel against britannians and pit Su Cheng?"

"You also know the results of the previous raid with Koran?"

"We are no match for the britannians."

"In that war, we in Heraeus lost more than 100 companions, while the britannians lost very little."

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

"Even so - are you still willing to wave a knife against the britannians?"

What Lu said seemed like magic.

The house, which had been a little noisy, suddenly became silent.

What Nalu said just now made almost every soldier's face a little ugly.

Just then, an amazing cry came from behind the crowd:

"I'm not afraid!"

Everyone, including Nalu, followed his voice.

It's the ink card standing at the back!

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

Looking directly into Nalu's eyes, he shouted again:

"I'm not afraid!"

"Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors knew how to resist the terrible giant snake!"

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

"Even if we know that the odds are slim, we will not turn back - our ancestors can do it, and we have no reason not to do it!"

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

Moka's shouting was amazing.

Even the dust on the wooden beam above his head seemed to be shaken down by the amazing shout of ink card.

While Mocha looked directly into Nalu's eyes, Nalu also looked directly into Mocha's eyes.

After Moka's shouting fell for a long time, Nalu slowly stood up from the wooden chair.

While standing up, whisper:

"Send a man to find Lugar in the stronghold of the britannians at the foot of the mountain. Just tell him - I have something to tell him. "
