Fierce Ape Tribe Warriors
After announcing the punishment for T'Chaka and Zuri, Eric Killmonger turned to look at the weak T'Challa, who was kneeling in the pool with a complex expression, and asked in a deep voice.
"Do you admit defeat?"
According to the ancient rules of the Pool of Kings challenge, the challenge only ends when one side dies or concedes. If T'Challa refuses to concede, then Eric Killmonger will have no choice but to kill him.
Eric has given him a chance to admit defeat. If he refuses, then even if Eric kills him, no one else will think Eric is cruel.
His previous act of letting T'Chaka and Zuri go and handing them over to the Elder Council for trial has proven that he not only possesses immense strength, but also, beneath his fierce and violent exterior, has an upright and wise heart. He is a benevolent and compassionate king who is also strict in rewarding and punishing.
Seeing that T'Challa was clearly no match for Eric Killmonger, the Queen and Princess Shuri anxiously called out to T'Challa.
"T'Challa, just give up!"
Former King T'Chaka and High Priest Zuri also looked up at T'Challa, their eyes heavy with concern.
"Give up, T'Challa. He's more qualified to be the guardian of Wakanda than I am."
"We should pay the price for the wrongs we have done. The Elder Council give us a fair trial. T'Challa, let us atone for our mistakes!"
T'Challa's gaze swept across everyone's faces, and their fighting spirit gradually crumbled. His body, which had been holding on, finally gave way and he fell forward, barely managing to stay upright by the strength of his hands, thus avoiding falling into the pool.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, T'Challa to raise his head and look at Eric Killmonger, who stood proudly before him, his expression solemn and dignified.
Finally, T'Challa lowered his head in despair.
"I surrender!"
Only then did the crowd watching from the poolside and the cliff finally breathe a sigh of relief. They really didn't want to see the two brothers turn against each other.
"Quickly, get him to the lab!"
Seeing that the duel was finally over, the anxious Princess Shuri rushed into the pool and shouted loudly.
However, no one responded to her orders.
Armed with steel spears, the agile Dora Milaje and Dora Milaje's Guard warriors stood as straight as before at the bottom of the cliff, not offering any assistance. However, their concern for T'Challa could still be seen in their eyes.
These elite female warriors, chosen from various tribes, swore an oath to serve the King of Wakanda to the death when they Dora Milaje. Now, the King of Wakanda is Eric Killmonger, and they cannot act without his orders, even if they want to help.
Fortunately, Eric Killmonger did not intend to make things difficult for T'Challa and Shuri. Seeing that Dora Milaje did not immediately respond to Princess Shuri's orders, he gave a wink to Okoye, the captain of the Royal Guard, and nodded slightly. Okoye, who was equally anxious, then brandished his spear and ordered two female warriors to come forward to help.
All of this happened very quickly. By the time Princess Shuri reached T'Challa's side, the two female warriors had also arrived almost simultaneously. Princess Shuri, whose attention was entirely focused on the severely injured T'Challa, did not notice anything amiss.
She hurriedly called to the two of them to help T'Challa up, preparing to take him to her laboratory for treatment.
Princess Shuri is a Tony girl who is even smarter than Tony Stark. Although she is young, she is in charge of Wakanda's most important technology department. A large part of Wakanda's powerful technological strength is due to her, and her laboratory contains Wakanda's most advanced technological resources.
In the previous battle, T'Challa was repeatedly struck by Eric Killmonger's immense strength, sustaining serious injuries. Multiple bones were broken throughout his body, and his internal organs suffered varying degrees of damage. Although Black Panther's powerful physique, enhanced by the Heart-shaped herb, is not in immediate danger, his life could be in danger if the fight dragged on.
Two female guards helped the nearly incapacitated T'Challa to his feet and followed behind the anxious Princess Shuri towards a cave entrance at the foot of the cliff, intending to leave the pool from there and head to Princess Shuri's laboratory.
Just as they approached the edge of the pool and headed toward the cave entrance, a deep, loud, rhythmic growl suddenly came from inside the cave, getting closer and closer to them.
The group stopped in their tracks, their expressions a mixture of confusion and seriousness as they looked toward the deep cave entrance. A low growl seemed to indicate that some powerful creature was slowly approaching.
Eric Killmonger in the pool and Chen Mo and the others standing by the mountain wall were also startled by the sudden, strange roar and turned to look.
Soon, the creatures in the cave finally emerged from the darkness. They were a group of more than a dozen very tall and strong warriors, resembling Man-Ape. They wore simple animal skins and carried crude wooden spears, as if they came from a primitive tribe in ancient times, wild and fierce.
As they slowly emerged from the cave, they uttered low shouts. Although they appeared quite primitive, their tall and robust physiques and the wild and powerful aura they exuded made them a force to be reckoned with.
After everyone emerged from the cave, the leader, a strong warrior wearing a ferocious gorilla mask and standing over two meters tall, removed his mask, revealing a rugged face full of fierceness.
"M'Baku! What are you doing here?"
An elder recognized the tall man after seeing his face.
It turns out that this is the Jabari Tribe, one of the five tribes of Wakanda, who has always lived in seclusion and never participated in the affairs of the kingdom. The tall man wearing the mask is the leader of the Jabari Tribe, M'Baku!
They have always lived high in the mountains, refusing to accept the changes that technological progress has brought to their lives. For many years, they have maintained the most primitive state, fighting and hunting like primitive people. They are also the strongest warriors among the five tribes. Every adult male of the Jabari Tribe is nearly two meters tall, with a very strong and robust body and superb strength. Each of them is the best warrior.
Previously in the royal council chamber, the elders mistook Eric Killmonger, who was over two meters tall and incredibly strong, for a member of the Jabari Tribe who had been separated from his people, since his tall and strong physique was so similar to theirs.
Looking at these suddenly appearing, burly warriors who were even taller and stronger than Dwayne Johnson, Chen Mo, standing at the foot of the cliff, couldn't help but have a hint of interest flash in his eyes.
