Action Commander
After being defeated by Eric Killmonger in a challenge and admitting defeat, M'Baku led his people back to the mountains, where they once again lived a secluded and aloof life.
The peace on the mountain was broken once again by the arrival of Chen Mo and Eric Killmonger.
Although the Jabari Tribe has always been independent of the Kingdom of Wakanda, living alone in the mountains, they are basically in a state of obeying orders but not commands.
However, this is merely due to their different beliefs about tradition and lifestyle. They still consider themselves part of Wakanda, acknowledge the king's status, and obey his commands.
However, they do not usually participate directly in political affairs, and the previous king T'Chaka, always kept them out of the picture, so the kingdom's development did not really need them.
These large, strong, and warlike ape warriors had no other use for fighting. Wakanda, which pursued a policy of seclusion, did not need to wage war against other countries. It was enough to maintain the stability of the borders and prevent outsiders from entering Wakanda.
These tasks are perfectly capable of being performed by the Border Tribe.
For decades, the Jabari Tribe has remained far removed from the affairs of Wakanda, living their own unique and primitive life. They have gradually been forgotten by other tribes, and many young citizens of the kingdom have only heard of their existence and know that there is such a special tribe in Wakanda, but some have no idea that they exist at all.
In fact, although they pursue different lifestyles and beliefs, they have never questioned their identity as part of Wakanda, nor have they ever thought of leaving Wakanda. They worship the strong and crave great power. The guardian of Wakanda, Black Panther, has even greater power than them, so they are willing to become his subjects and obey his orders.
Previously, M'Baku had heard that King T'Chaka had voluntarily abdicated the throne and given it to a suddenly appearing outsider. That's why he led his people to the waterfall pool where the challenge ceremony was being held and issued a challenge to Eric Killmonger.
Although they did not agree with some of King T'Chaka's decisions in the past, they chose to acquiesce and did not stand up to oppose him because he was the Black Panther and the strongest king of Wakanda!
This suddenly appearing new king did not seize the throne by defeating the Black Panther, but rather T'Chaka voluntarily relinquished it to him.
This was unacceptable to M'Baku.
In M'Baku's view, only the strongest warrior is qualified to be the king of Wakanda and lead them. If Eric Killmonger had defeated T'Chaka the Black Panther a fair duel and won the throne by virtue of his superior strength, then M'Baku would not have appeared. He would have continued to stay with his people on the mountain, waiting for the king's command at any time.
However, Eric Killmonger won the challenge through his own strength, proving that he was qualified to become the King of Wakanda and lead the five tribes.
The arrival of Eric and Chen Mo this time surprised M'Baku.
This was the first time in decades that Wakanda king had visited the Jabari Tribe, and Eric Killmonger's distinctly different style of doing things from T'Chaka's led M'Baku to some speculations.
In the Jabari Tribe hall perched atop a cliff, M'Baku personally greeted King Eric Killmonger and the mysterious Easterner, Chen Mo.
"I wonder what the king wants to do in the Jabari Tribe?"
M'Baku was straightforward and didn't mince words, directly asking the question that had been bothering him.
"I need your warriors to fight for me!"
Seeing that M'Baku was asking directly, Eric Killmonger didn't beat around the bush and stated the purpose of his trip.
"Fighting?"
A gleam of excitement flashed in M'Baku's eyes.
"I have a plan."
Eric Killmonger spoke slowly.
When Chen Mo and Eric emerged from the Jabari Tribe, the entire tribe had been mobilized. All the elite warriors had assembled, armed themselves, and headed down the mountain toward the Wakanda capital.
There, they will join elite warriors from the Border Tribe and the other three major tribes, as well as elite agents from the "War Dogs," to prepare for the Decapitation Operation.
For the Jabari Tribe, who worship power and love battle, fighting is their favorite thing. However, due to the reclusive strategy of their former king T'Chaka, they could only live deep in the mountains, using the wild beasts in the mountains as their targets to hone their fighting skills and accumulate experience.
But what they truly crave is real combat. Even the strongest hunter is just a hunter, while they are true warriors!
Soldiers should fight the enemy on the battlefield, not fight animals in the mountains.
Eric Killmonger's plan to unify Africa received the full support of the Jabari Tribe, as this was the life they wanted.
The Jabari Tribe truly lived up to its reputation as the strongest tribe in Wakanda; the number of elite warriors they sent out alone was comparable to the total number selected by the other four tribes and the "War Dogs."
Almost every adult member of the Jabari Tribe is a powerful hunter, capable of carrying out the arduous task of decapitation.
This operation is not as simple as killing people; thousands of warlords, large and small, throughout Africa must be eliminated in a short period of time.
The Africa continent is vast, and the sheer distance alone severely hinders the rapid progress of operations. Fortunately, Wakanda possesses a technological level far ahead of the world, HYDRA fighter jet fly at extremely high speeds, which can greatly reduce the time spent on the journey.
However, as mentioned before, Wakanda's resources are still too weak. The technology of its aircraft is very advanced, but the number is very small. The entire kingdom only has a few dozen, which is not enough to complete the mission. Fortunately, the aircraft are not difficult to manufacture and do not take too long. So after a short period of rest and preparation, once all the aircraft are in place, the Decapitation Operation can be officially launched.
The Commander in charge of the entire operation was neither Wakanda's Minister of Defense, W'Kabi, nor King Eric Killmonger himself, but a mysterious Easterner, Chen Mo, who had always been by the king's side and was clearly highly regarded by him!
Many people were still dissatisfied that this Eastern man, who had been following Eric Killmonger since the beginning of his existence but had never taken any action and was like an invisible man, had become their Commander.
This included W'Kabi, the chief of the Border Tribe, and M'Baku, the chief of the Jabari Tribe!
Both of them were pure warriors who believed in the supremacy of the strong. Although Chen Mo looked tall and strong, he was still a bit slender compared to the Man-Ape- like M'Baku, and he didn't look as wild and fierce as they did.
They cannot accept being led by someone weaker than themselves!
