Chapter 76 The Promised Land
Kingdom of Karawi.
One of eight kingdoms west of the Great Lakes.
It is a country established by indigenous peoples on the western bank of the Great Lakes region, bordering the Buganda Kingdom to the north and the Igala Kingdom and Burundi Kingdom to the west.
Its territory is mainly located in the former Tanzania.
Between the Great (Victoria) Lake to Lake Frederick (Albert) and Lake Solon (Tanganyika) there is only about 150,000 square kilometers of land.
There are eight indigenous countries in East Africa, which is also the strongest region for black people in East Africa. Among them, the Kingdom of Buganda is the most powerful country established by black people in East Africa (Abyssinia is not a purely black country, but is deeply influenced by Arab culture).
The names of these eight indigenous countries are: the Kingdom of Gitala, the Kingdom of Turou, the Kingdom of Nkole, the Kingdom of Buganda, the Kingdom of Karawi, the Kingdom of Igala, the Kingdom of Rwanda, and the Kingdom of Burundi.
Among them, the Kingdom of Buganda, the Kingdom of Igala and the Kingdom of Burundi bordered the East African colonies.
As the "purge" movement in the East African colonies unfolded, the indigenous tribes fleeing to the northwest poured into these three countries.
…
The border of the Karawi Kingdom.
As a slave kingdom, the Karavi Kingdom had no defense power in the east. After all, the east was originally inhabited by indigenous tribes and posed no threat to the Karavi Kingdom at all.
Although the eight northwestern countries had already formed countries, they were still in a very primitive stage, and their way of ruling was actually similar to that of a colony.
All of them used the army to carry out colonization activities on the indigenous tribes in the territory. Some of them were similar to the Shang Dynasty in China, which used military conquest to make local states pay tribute.
Therefore, it was impossible for the country to fight against the refugee crisis from the East African colonies with its inefficient national structure.
Today, another large group of people entered the Karawi Kingdom from here.
They are a tribe that was originally a huge indigenous tribe living in the savannah area of the East African colony, with a total population of nearly two thousand people.
Chief Odebiao can be said to be a great leader of the tribe. Since he took office, he has annexed surrounding tribes through war, plundered the population, and became an indigenous overlord in the prairie area.
The good times did not last long. After the "purge" movement in the East African colonies, the Tabora City Government in the Savannah area gathered an armed force of more than 500 people to encircle and suppress the tribe in order to eliminate the indigenous tribe entrenched in the Savannah area.
Even if Odbiao had three heads and six arms, he could not resist the modern weapons of the East African colonies.
Soon after the battle began, the tribe was defeated.
Odebiao led the remaining troops and began a difficult escape journey.
The colonial government could drive them to the northwest, so after a long journey of more than 200 kilometers, Odebiao's troops finally arrived at the border of the Karawi Kingdom today.
After several days of fleeing, there are only more than a thousand tribesmen left around Odebiao. The war and the escape have reduced the number of tribesmen by nearly half.
Odebiao was surprised to find that the gang of demons who could use magic weapons stopped chasing him and seemed unwilling to move forward.
In fact, the East African colonial government had already achieved the purpose of this trip. Ahead was the Karawi Kingdom, and the goal of the East African colony was to drive these natives into its territory.
The naive Odebiao thought that there were gods living in the northwest, so the group of demons did not dare to move forward.
Odebiao, who originally served as a tribal priest, became even more excited.
He picked up his wizard's staff and began to perform a strange dance in front of his tribe.
He stood on tiptoe and spun quickly on the ground, as if his feet were not ground but hot as a stove.
He started mumbling something, but no one could understand what he was saying. Even the members of the tribe didn't know what the leader was doing, but he looked very powerful and impressive.
Under the blessing of spells and dances, Odebiao's whole body soon began to twitch and his eyes began to roll back.
The staff in his hand began to slowly tilt toward the northwest, and finally pointed directly toward the northwest.
Soil, Odebiao let out a loud and.
"Shakalaka..."
The whole person "fainted" on the ground, and his men were so frightened that they didn't know what to do and didn't dare to step forward to help him.
After all, the leader's appearance just now looked like he was possessed by evil spirits, and Odebiao was the only high priest of the tribe, and he couldn't solve the problem. The extremely superstitious tribesmen dared not act rashly.
Some people even knelt down and began 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 at the natives curiously as they were doing strange things.
"What are these savages doing?"
"It looks like the old village shaman performing a ritual!"
"Didn't the leader just roll his eyes while jumping around? The fortune-teller in our village can do the same."
"You can see him rolling his eyes from this distance?"
"Then I definitely couldn't see it. Mainly because his movements were too similar to those of the witch in our village, so I guess he rolled his eyes."
"This native also believes in gods and ghosts. This is really rare! Do you think there are gods, the King of Hell, etc. in this world?"
"This...may exist in the Qing Dynasty, but we are no longer in the Qing Dynasty, right? Those gods and fairies can't control us. According to the Germans, this piece of land is blessed by God, and this God is the Jade Emperor in the Western Heaven."
While the immigrant soldiers were whispering to each other.
Odebiao secretly narrowed his eyes into slits, and felt very satisfied when he saw the frightened looks on the faces of his tribesmen. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Odebiao has been unlucky these days, encountering the iron fist of the East African colonial government, losing the war, and suffering from the tragedy of exile, and the people in the tribe are in unrest.
Today, he suddenly discovered that the East African colonial soldiers stopped chasing him, and Odebiao was worthy of being the heroic leader of the tribe.
He immediately thought of a way to consolidate his position in the eyes of his tribe members.
Odebiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up, sat cross-legged, and suddenly became alert. He shook his body and "awoke" instantly.
Under the astonished gaze of the tribesmen, Odebiao said, "Warriors of the tribe, just now, I received guidance from the gods. They told me to go to the northwest! That is the promised land for someone."
"The gods live there, so these demons dare not take another step forward. Look back and see if those demons dare not move forward!"
Following Odebiao's hint, the tribesmen looked back and saw that indeed the East African colonial soldiers were standing still and had no intention of continuing the pursuit.
Seeing the natives turning around one after another, the East African colonial soldiers suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They thought that these natives wanted to make a final resistance, and they clenched their guns again.
Seeing the East African colonial soldiers suddenly getting nervous, the tribe became even more convinced of what Odebiao said. If they were not afraid of the gods, why would they be so nervous?
Thinking that they were blessed by gods, the whole tribe cheered. They shouted "Odebiao God's Messenger" and danced around Odebiao.
Odebiao looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. He raised his hands in the air and slowly lowered them to signal for silence.
"Warriors, let's continue to move northwest. The gods will protect us."
So, having reestablished his authority, Odebiao led his inspired tribesmen towards the Karawi Kingdom.
Soldiers in the East African colonies were puzzled.
