Chapter 559: Ancestral land!

In fact, just as Stone Bear judged, the Iroquois did not escape.

   When the pontoon bridge was completed, some of the soldiers of the Second Division and the Seventh Mixed Division crossed the Niagara River proudly and advanced eastward for about thirty kilometers, and saw a large number of Iroquois fighters.

   Although the current Iroquois League is still the top tribe in the entire North American continent, its strength is far from its peak.

   In fact, even if there is no stone bear's chaos to change the current form of the New World in North America, the Iroquois will be driven away by the Americans in three years.

   When the War of Independence broke out last year, the Iroquois tried to remain neutral at first, but they couldn't stand the flicker of the British and Americans. The originally united tribe split.

Later, in 1779, the founding father of the United States, Watsonton, sent three columns to infiltrate the Iroquois territory, set fire to more than forty Iroquois tribes, and finally put the Iroquois on fire. Driven out from their ancestral land.

  The Iroquois, who had nowhere to go, finally suffered from the split. They had to flee north to Canada to avoid the Americans. Later, he was driven to the Ohio Valley by the British...

   In short, this once extremely powerful tribal alliance is now at sunset.

   However, Shi Xiong's chaotic entry has changed everything.

At least the Iroquois Alliance, which should now stand on the side of the Americans and the British, has been split for a while, but under the strong pressure of the Grim Bear Army, these six tribes are reunited and prepared to deal with the Grim Bear Army. .

   The six major clans of the Iroquois Alliance plus some small clans are enough to form an army of more than 30,000. In addition, they still have a large number of matchlocks in their hands. This is the strength of the Iroquois Alliance.

At present, the area of ​​the core site controlled by the Iroquois is still not small. The west starts from the later Erie, and the east can reach the vicinity of Syracuse. The entire southern shore of Lake Ontario and half of the southern shore of Lake Erie belong to the Yi The core site of the Roques.

   As for the seat of the Iroquois royal court, that is, the core area of ​​the Mohawk, it is approximately near Rochester in later generations.

However, the large number of Iroquois fighters assembled in front of the Grim Bear Army are obviously the main force of the Iroquois, but they did not protect their royal court, but laid them about seventy kilometers west of their royal court. The line of defense.

"There is our former ancestral land! Behind those Iroquois warriors is our Cherokee ancestral land!" Hong Yun was in a rare gaffe. She stood on a small hill and pointed excitedly. Said from a distant place.

Not only her, more than a dozen priests around her, as well as the once tribal high priest, and now the tribe’s great witch doctor Bakaluzu, are equally excited and almost out of breath. Obviously, these priests who know the history of the tribe best , Recognized the land behind the Iroquois fighters.

   Don't even think of Shixiong as the chief, but he is a person who became a chief halfway through, so he doesn't know the situation of the Cherokee ancestors, let alone the situation of the ancestral land.

   Let alone stone bears, it is estimated that the entire tribe has no knowledge of the ancestral land except for a few sacrifices. After all, before the appearance of the stone bear, the people who recorded the important events of the tribe were all completed by the tribe's high priest or other sacrifices.

   These sacrifices are the true inheritors of a tribe.

   Even if these sacrifices can only use knots, slate and wood paintings to record the great events that happened in the tribe, they are also inheritance!

Shi Xiong looked curiously at the excited Hongyun and Bakarzu, and waited until they gradually recovered calm before asking: "Priest Kabru, can you be sure that the place far away is where our ancestral land was? "

   "There is definitely our ancestral land, I can be sure of this!" Hong Yun took a deep breath, and still replied with some excitement.

"I keep a lot of knots and slate paintings, some of which are dedicated to recording the ancestral land. These knots and slate paintings are all preserved by every high priest of Kabru." Hong Yun looked at the stone bear very much. Said seriously.

   Shi Xiong also nodded. He had seen the items in the Red Cloud Room with his own eyes. Although he didn't understand what was recorded in the ropes with knots of different sizes, Shi Xiong knew that they were definitely very precious things.

  The North American Indians without writing use knots and slate and wood paintings to record important events that happened to their ancestors and tribes.

"Our ancestors said that our ancestral land was in a flat land surrounded by semi-circular mountains. There are two rivers on both sides of the ancestral land. The two rivers will eventually converge in the valley north of the ancestral land, and eventually go north. It flows into the Great Lake. And one day walking from the ancestral land to the land of Thor (right west), you can reach the water of Thor! Great Bear, look, is the terrain of the place in front the same as the ancestors recorded? We just came from Thor's Water and it was exactly one day, so this must be our ancestral land!"

   Shi Xiong nodded silently.

Hongyun is right. Although standing on this hill can't see the real landscape of the area ahead~lightnovelpub.net~, the hill that is more than two hundred meters higher than other places is indeed half. The circle envelops a flat piece of land. And under the sun, the light reflected by the two rivers can also be vaguely seen.

  The most important thing is, is it just a day’s time to walk from Niagara Falls to here?

   Niagara Falls means "Water of Thor" in Iroquois!

   In Iroquois, the Land of Thor represents the West, and the origin of the Land of Thor is the Niagara Falls!

The stone bear shook his head fiercely, and said to the black wolf standing next to him: "I will prepare a hot air balloon right away. I want to go to the sky with the High Priest Kabru and the Great Witch Doctor Bakaruz! I want to make sure this is our ancestral land."

   The black wolf saluted excitedly, turned around and ran off the small mountain bag. After a while, the black wolf's roar sounded below.

   Shixiong and Kuaima personally picked up the sliding poles, and Bakaluzu, who was almost immobile, sat on the sliding poles, Hong Yun followed by his side, and the four quickly walked down the hill.

   After half an hour, Bakaruzu and Hongyun, who were covered in thick fur, took the hot air balloon under the leadership of Shixiong, and then Shixiong personally shook the hand-cranked hair dryer, and the hot air balloon began to slowly rise into the sky.

   The huge hot air balloon caused some commotion among the Iroquois a few kilometers away, but it quickly subsided. Shixiong and the others didn't care about this, but stared at the land that was getting clearer and clearer because of the rising altitude!
