Congo Kingdom.
King M'Buer Nzinga frowned as he looked at the urgent report in his hand, "Alas, where did this Yanhuang Empire come from? How could it be so outrageous, destroying all the countries in South Africa in a year? It's just absurd.
I estimate that the Congo will have to face this Yanhuang Empire next. After all, it's too close."
The Congo Kingdom is near South Africa. It can be said that if the Yanhuang Empire continues to expand, the Congo Kingdom will bear the brunt and there is no way to avoid it.
At this moment, M'Buer's son, and also the next heir, Pedro Nzinga, walked into the palace. Seeing M'Buer's frown, he immediately said, "Father, are you worried about the threat of the Yanhuang Empire?"
Looking up at Pedro, his favorite son, M'Buer did not hide it from him, "The military power of this Yanhuang Empire is too strong, especially those iron birds that can fly in the sky are too invincible, and there is no way to target them.
What I am most worried about now is, if they attack Congo, how should we restrain their iron birds?"
Hearing this, Pedro nodded. He had also heard the refugees who had fled from South Africa talk about the iron birds of the Yanhuang Empire. If things were really as those people said, they really wouldn't have a good way to deal with them on the ground.
After thinking for a while, Pedro looked at his father and said, "Father, since it is a kind of bird, why not design an enlarged version of the bow and arrow and shoot it down.
I believe that as long as the power of the bow and arrow is enough to penetrate the iron plate, then it will definitely be able to shoot down the opponent."
Hearing this "good idea", M'Buer nodded thoughtfully, and then ordered Pedro to find someone to make it.
Seeing that his father had really accepted his opinion, a hint of surprise appeared on Pedro's face.
If this matter is done well, my position will definitely be more stable.
Afterwards, Pedro hurriedly went down to find skilled craftsmen to find a way to create the kind of bow and arrow he envisioned.
After watching his son leave, M'Buer thought about it and prepared to send people to other countries, after all, the threat of the Yanhuang Empire was not just threatening him alone.
He believed that the monarchs of those countries should understand the principle of interdependence.
South Africa.
The former capital of the Zimbabwe Kingdom, now one of the Yanhuang Empire's outposts in Africa, today a passenger plane flew from the Yanhuang Empire.
As the plane landed, Ye Chen walked out of it, looking curiously at the exotic buildings around him.
This was the first time in his life that he had come to Africa. In the past, his impression of this place was that it was dirty and chaotic. Now that he had come here hundreds of years in advance, well, it was still dirty and chaotic.
"This humble general greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live for ten thousand years."
The chief general of the garrison, Lin Xuan, led the generals behind him, and when he saw Ye Chen coming down from the plane, he bowed and saluted.
Afterwards, Lin Xuan led Ye Chen towards the palace in the city.
On the way, Ye Chen saw many women and children building some thatched huts outside the imperial garrison, or just finding a few leaves and curling up on the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Ye Chen hated these alien races the most.
"Your Majesty, these are the remaining old, weak, women and children of the Zimbabwe Kingdom.
At first, this humble general drove them all away, but these people would always sneak back at night, even if I killed a few people to deter them, it was useless, they would still sneak back.
In the end, this humble general saw that they were honest and didn't cause any trouble, so I let them live and die outside the garrison."
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled. Don't look at these people, they are all old, weak, women and children, but there must be a leader among them.
Moreover, that person in charge is very clever; she knows that leaving this place and losing the familiar environment of the past means that these old, weak, women, and children simply cannot survive.
But staying near the Yanhuang Empire's garrison, with a familiar environment, although survival is still difficult, there is still hope of living.
Furthermore, she saw that since the Yanhuang Empire did not kill them but instead drove them out to fend for themselves, there was a very high probability that they would allow them to survive on the periphery of the garrison.
Therefore, betting on it gives a high chance of survival; not betting on it means certain death. The choice between these two is not difficult.
Now, the situation outside the city clearly shows that that person bet correctly.
"Find the person in charge among these people; I can't help but feel a trace of curiosity about this person."
"Yes, Emperor!"
Seeing that Ye Chen did not blame him, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
After entering the city, Ye Chen rested for a while, then went to inspect the army garrison and presented awards to some meritorious individuals.
It must be said that although the ceremony was unremarkable and lacked rousing music, the effect was explosive.
After all, this was an award personally presented by the Emperor, of immeasurable value, a treasure that could be passed down as an heirloom from generation to generation.
After making a round, he went back; tomorrow, he would go to other garrisons to inspect and present awards.
Just as he returned to the palace, Ye Chen heard Lin Xuan say that the person in charge he was looking for had been found.
"Bring her in."
"Yes."
Soon, Ye Chen saw a girl wearing light yellow animal skin clothes, with some animal bones hanging around her neck.
Looking at this little girl, to be honest, Ye Chen did not expect that the person in charge of that group would be such a young girl, but looking at her attire, she did not seem like an ordinary person.
After thinking about it, he couldn't figure anything out; he was not familiar with Africa at all.
"What is your name?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan acted as a translator and repeated it to her.
Soon, Ye Chen learned her name, "Samantha Palance."
Samantha looked at the majestic Ye Chen in front of her, her heart trembling. She did not know what her fate would be, but she only wanted to live.
"Samantha, a good name, and very brave and clever. What makes you think that running back would allow you to survive?"
Looking at this little girl, Ye Chen asked with interest.
Samantha looked at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with a desire for life, and said, "Without the protection of the city's army, even if we don't starve to death, we will be eaten by the beasts at night sooner or later. Therefore, leaving the city means certain death for us.
But here in the capital, there are soldiers of the adults, and the beasts dare not approach at all. This way, at least we don't have to worry about falling asleep and not waking up the next day. So, only by returning is there hope of survival.
As for whether the adults will kill us, that is not within our consideration, because if we want to live, we have no other choice.
And if I had to choose, I would rather die at the hands of the adults than be eaten by beasts."
Looking at this little one, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation. Her reasoning was sound, her thinking was quick, and she was quite interesting.
If it weren't for this war, this girl's future achievements would not be low, of course, that is if she doesn't die prematurely.
"Do you want to live?"
"Thump!"
Hearing this, Samantha's eyes lit up, and she immediately knelt down and said, "Samantha is willing to do anything for you, my lord, just begging you to give me something to eat."
"Hahaha, that's a bit interesting."
Seeing Samantha like this, with her cleverness of climbing up the pole, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.
