Chapter 76 The Promised Land

Kingdom of Karawi.

One of the eight kingdoms west of the Great Lakes.

It is a country established by native indigenous people on the western side of the Great Lakes region. It is bordered by the Kingdom of Buganda to the north and the Kingdom of Igala and the Kingdom of Burundi to the west.

Its territory is mainly located in the former Tanzania.

Between the Great (Victoria) Lake to Friedrich (Albert) Lake and Solon (Tanganyika) Lake, the land area is only about 150,000 square kilometers.

But there are eight indigenous countries distributed across them. This is also the area where black people are the strongest in East Africa. Among them, the Kingdom of Buganda is the most powerful country established by black people in the entire East Africa (Abyssinia is not a purely black country and is deeply influenced by Arab culture).

The names of these eight indigenous countries: Kingdom of Gitara, Kingdom of Turu, Kingdom of Nkole, Kingdom of Buganda, Kingdom of Karawi, Kingdom of Igala, Kingdom of Rwanda, and Kingdom of Burundi.

Among them, the Kingdom of Buganda, the Kingdom of Igala, and the Kingdom of Burundi border the East African colonies.

With the development of the "purge" movement in the East African colonies, the indigenous tribes who fled northwest poured into these three countries.

Border of Karawi Kingdom.

As a slave kingdom, the Kingdom of Karawi has little defensive power in the east. After all, the east was originally populated by indigenous tribes, which posed no threat to the Kingdom of Karawi at all.

Although the eight northwest countries have formed countries, they are still in a very primitive stage. Their governance methods are actually similar to colonies.

They all used the army to carry out colonial activities on the indigenous tribes within the territory. It was somewhat similar to the Shang Dynasty in China, which used military conquest to make local countries become vassals and pay tribute.

Therefore, it is impossible to fight against the refugee flow launched by the East African colonies with its inefficient state structure.

Today, another large group of people entered the Karawi Kingdom from here.

They are a tribe, originally a giant indigenous tribe living in the colonial savanna area of ​​East Africa, with a total population of nearly 2,000 people.

The leader Odebiao can be said to be a generational hero of the tribe. Since his succession, he has used war to annex surrounding tribes and plunder the population, becoming an indigenous overlord in the prairie area.

The good times did not last long. After the "purge" movement in the East African colonies, the Tapola City Government in the prairie area, in order to eliminate this indigenous tribe entrenched in the prairie area, assembled an armed force of more than 500 people to encircle and suppress this tribe.

Even though Oudebiao has three heads and six arms, he is still no match for the modern weapons of the East African colonies.

Soon after the battle, the tribe was defeated.

Odebiao led the remaining troops to embark on an arduous escape journey.

The colonial government could drive them northwest, so after a long journey of more than 200 kilometers, Odebiao's troops finally arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Karawi today.

After several days of running away, there are now only more than a thousand tribes left around Oudebiao. The war and escape journey have reduced the tribe's membership by nearly half.

Odebiao was surprised to find that the group of demons who knew how to use magical weapons stopped chasing them and seemed unwilling to take another step forward.

In fact, the East African colonial government has achieved the purpose of this trip. The front is the Karawi Kingdom. The goal of the East African colony is to drive these indigenous people into its territory.

The naive Odebiao thought that there were gods living in the northwest, so these demons did not dare to come forward.

Odebiao, who was already serving as a tribal priest, became more energetic.

He picked up his witch wand and immediately started a strange dance in front of the crowd.

He stood on tiptoes and spun around quickly on the ground, as if his feet were not earth but hot as a furnace.

He began to mutter something, and no one could understand what he was saying. Even the members of the tribe had no idea what the leader was doing, but he seemed to be unaware of it and was very powerful.

With the blessing of mantras and dance, Odebiao soon began to twitch all over his body and his eyes began to turn white.

The witchcraft stick in his hand began to tilt slowly toward the northwest, and finally pointed directly toward the northwest.

Soil, Odebiao made a loud sound.

"Shakaraka..."

The whole person "fainted" on the ground, and his men were so frightened that they did not dare to step forward to help him.

After all, the leader's appearance just now looked like a symptom of "possession", and Odebiao was the only high priest of the tribe, so he couldn't solve it. The extremely superstitious tribe did not dare to act rashly.

Some people have even knelt down and begun to pray for the blessing of the tribal gods. The god of this tribe is a lion, so they have lion head patterns on their tattoos.

A hundred meters away, the East African colonial soldiers who were responsible for watching these natives and preventing them from running back looked curiously at the strange behavior of these natives.

"What are these savages doing?"

"It looks like the master dance master in the village before!"

"Did the leader roll his eyes while jumping around just now? The goddess in our village will do the same."

"You can see him rolling his eyes from this far away?"

"Then I definitely couldn't see it. The main reason is that his movements looked too much like the goddess in our village, so I guess he rolled his eyes."

"It's really rare that these natives also believe in gods and ghosts! Do you think there is God, Lord of Hell, etc. in this world?"

"This... may exist in the Qing Dynasty. Aren't we no longer in the Qing Dynasty? Those gods! Fairies! They can't control us. According to the Germans, this land is blessed by God. , this God is the Jade Emperor in the Western Heaven.”

While the immigrant soldiers were whispering to each other.

Odebiao secretly narrowed his eyes to a slit, and felt satisfied when he saw the frightened appearance of the tribesmen. He wanted this effect.

Oudebiao has been in bad luck these past few days. He encountered the iron fist of the East African colonial government, failed in the war, suffered a miserable situation in exile, and the hearts of the tribe were unstable.

Today, he suddenly discovered that the East African colonial soldiers were no longer chasing Oudebiao, who was worthy of being a heroic leader of the tribe.

He immediately thought of a way to re-consolidate his position in the hearts of the tribe.

Odebiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up, sat cross-legged, thought of himself, shook his body, and instantly "awakened".

In the surprised eyes of the tribesmen, Odebiao said: "Tribal warriors, just now, I received guidance from the gods. He told me to go northwest! That is my promised land."

"The gods live there, so these demons dare not take another step forward. Look back and see if those demons dare not step forward!"

The tribesmen followed Oudebiao's hint and looked back. Indeed, the East African colonial soldiers stood where they were and had no intention of continuing the pursuit.

Seeing the natives turning back one after another, the East African colonial soldiers suddenly felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Thinking that these natives wanted to make a final resistance, they clenched their guns again.

Seeing the suddenly nervous East African colonial soldiers, the tribe became even more convinced. According to Oudebiao, if they weren't afraid of gods, why were they nervous?

Thinking that they were being protected by gods, a tribe immediately cheered. They shouted "Ode Biao God Envoy" and danced around Ode Biao.

Odebiao looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. He raised his hands in the air and slowly lowered them down to signal silence.

"Warriors, we continue to move northwest. The gods will bless us."

So Odebiao, who had re-established his authority, headed towards the Kingdom of Karawi with his high-spirited tribesmen.

The soldiers in the East African colonies felt baffled.
