Chapter 850: Little Cheetah
At this moment, Babel was highly suspicious that the Lesser Lord Kusanali was actually a deity who championed force.
This left Babel feeling extremely helpless.
When did the people of the rainforest become so barbaric?
What happened to convincing people with reason?
This is not "rainforest" at all!
"Wait, I can tell you all that this is a conspiracy by the Fatui. In truth, we wanted to defect to the rainforest." After sensing the formidable strength on Lumine's side, Babel hurriedly spoke up.
"It doesn't matter. Whether it is the Tanit tribe or the Fatui, they are both our enemies.
Before coming here, we had already conducted an investigation into the Tanit tribe." Lumine, however, had no intention of stopping.
As for the Fatui, she could investigate them slowly when the time came.
The Fatui's true ultimate superior, the Tsaritsa, was already one of their own.
Investigating the Fatui from her side was not a difficult task at all.
Moreover, looking at the state of the Tanit tribe, they seemed to be merely utilized by the Fatui; they were not even qualified to be the Fatui's partners. If the Fatui really had any secrets, the Tanit tribe wouldn't possibly know them. Therefore, in Lumine's view, there was absolutely no need to show mercy to Babel.
Cyno and the others silently glanced at Lumine, discovering that she remained just as she had been before.
Anyone who resisted was simply cut down. Furthermore, Lumine didn't kill them outright; those who looked particularly fierce had their weapon-wielding hands severed, confiscating their tools of the trade.
If their attitude was relatively good, Lumine simply rendered them incapable of combat.
Lumine's appearance was an eye-opener for the vast majority of those present. This Traveler, Lumine, was truly worthy of being a friend to the Lesser Lord Kusanali, someone who could talk and laugh with her.
It was said that her martial arts had even been recognized by the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma.
She was also the third person in the last five hundred years to have their martial arts recognized by the Raiden Shogun.
They had originally thought that the martial arts of Cyno and Dehya were already very impressive; at the very least, they could be counted among the top experts in Sumeru.
But after seeing Lumine, they realized there were people who could fight this well.
In Sumeru, perhaps apart from the Lesser Lord Kusanali, there was no one who could be a match for this Lumine, right?
At this moment, Cyno even harbored the thought of sparing no cost to keep Lumine in Sumeru.
Their Sumeru was exactly in need of such talent.
Even if it meant giving up his own position as General Mahamatra to Lumine, Cyno felt it would be no problem at all.
There was no help for it; who told Sumeru to be so weak right now?
As for Lumine being the Tianshu of Liyue?
What did that have to do with anything?
Liyue's Geo Archon was already gone, and their Lesser Lord Kusanali couldn't possibly be unable to defeat even the so-called Adepti, could she?
Although they knew their Sumeru deity was not skilled in combat, they believed she still possessed strength.
Moreover, Lumine had already become a general in Inazuma; becoming a high-ranking official in their Sumeru didn't seem to be a problem, right?
But then again, was Inazuma really that formidable?
It was said that the Raiden Shogun had only recognized three people's martial arts in the last five hundred years.
These three people had all received the Raiden Shogun's recognition in recent years.
Lumine was already this outstanding, so the other few people couldn't possibly be stronger than Lumine, right?
It seemed Inazuma was even more powerful than they had imagined.
"Tie all of them up." At this moment, Cyno also gave up on fighting himself. Lumine alone could solve the entire Tanit tribe, and their arrival here seemed to be just to assist Lumine.
Regarding this, Cyno had no dissatisfaction.
These people could be killed, or they could be captured and taken back for labor reform, giving them a chance to turn over a new leaf, or they could be executed after being interrogated.
Ever since those guys from the Akademiya were investigated, Cyno had actually quite enjoyed carrying out executions.
These things were not very popular in the old Sumeru; in the five hundred years the Akademiya ruled Sumeru, there hadn't even been ten executions.
Cyno himself had never even seen one.
This didn't mean that people didn't die when they were killed in Sumeru.
That was only for the upper echelons and the wealthy; the people below didn't even get to be judged—they were just killed directly, which was a very normal occurrence.
These deaths were not recorded in the execution logs because they weren't qualified.
But the current Cyno loved the feeling of carrying out executions on those who were high and mighty.
The people of the Tanit tribe couldn't be considered all that high and mighty, but if he could carry out executions on those who had committed countless evils, Cyno was still looking forward to it.
These guys usually didn't seem to take the lives of ordinary people seriously, burning, killing, and looting. In normal circumstances, Cyno felt they should all be executed.
Cyno pulled a rope over a hundred meters long from his Vision and arranged for the people below to string those guys up one by one.
Then, he looked at Babel with burning eyes. One had to say, as someone without a Vision, Babel's strength was quite good.
Even many Vision holders were likely not Babel's match.
After all, not everyone worked hard to improve their strength after obtaining a Vision.
Just like Dunyarzad; although she obtained a Vision because of Nahida, Dunyarzad's strength was still lacking, and even Nahida didn't plan on having Dunyarzad help.
Although Dunyarzad also wanted very much to help Nahida and studied hard every day.
Dunyarzad's talent wasn't actually bad, but some things couldn't be solved just by studying hard; the impact of Eleazar on Dunyarzad was simply too great.
Even though she was born into a wealthy family, Dunyarzad's level of knowledge and culture couldn't be considered particularly high.
And someone like Babel, when combined with some special tools, was more than enough to fight against Vision holders.
Unless those true powerhouses came to fight Babel, otherwise, Babel would always have the strength to put up a fight.
But at this moment, Babel was also panicking.
There was no help for it; the one leading them was simply not human. She prided herself on being an expert in the desert.
The Tanit tribe could be considered a powerful tribe in the desert; even if not the first, it could definitely be ranked in the top three.
Yet after the other side slaughtered their way into the Tanit tribe, it was like cutting vegetables; they had no room to resist at all, and even if she participated, it would just be delivering herself to be slaughtered.
But at this moment, what else could she do?
Given what she usually did, if she were captured, she wouldn't have a good life even if she didn't die.
And the other side didn't even want the Fatui's intelligence. (╯)╯┻┻.
This was simply too reckless.
Were these people not afraid of what the Fatui might do at this time?
After hesitating for a while, Babel finally decided to leave; as long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about firewood.
If it were just her alone, if she wanted to escape, it didn't seem completely impossible.
Babel scanned everyone; the people from Sumeru had already surrounded them tightly.
She needed to find a direction to break out. After hesitating, Babel finally found Jeht.
Hmm, for some reason, although Babel had never met Jeht, she felt a connection with her.
At this moment, Babel chose to trust her intuition; she would definitely be able to defeat her.
And when Jeht saw Babel rushing towards her, she was clearly stunned. This woman was actually coming for her?
Did she think she was easy to bully?
If Dehya belonged to the lions, then Jeht belonged to the cheetahs.
Being treated like this by Babel, Jeht also bristled!
Grasping the greatsword her father had given her, she met her head-on. The moment they clashed, the two sides actually fought to a draw.
"Familiar combat techniques. This is the combat style of our Tanit tribe. Who exactly are you?" Babel saw traces of the Tanit tribe's combat style in Jeht's techniques, and it was the very standard kind.
The other party was young but very seasoned; she must have practiced this since childhood. She had originally thought the other party was just a wet-behind-the-ears child, but she hadn't expected her to have a connection to the Tanit tribe, perhaps even having come from it.
"Hmph, the one who will take your life!" Jeht had no good feelings for Babel.
Her father had come from the Tanit tribe. The original Tanit tribe might have had some problems, but since her father became the leader, the Tanit tribe had changed quite a bit.
On the surface, it seemed nothing had changed, but for those who had been paying attention to the Tanit tribe, the changes were still visible. ===== CHAPTER 852 =====
