War is an eternal topic, and there are many explanations for its root causes, including living space, natural resources, overpopulation, social productivity and production relations.

For example, the World War II that just ended was caused by the uneven economic and political development of the countries participating in the war!

Since the emergence of human beings, war has never stopped. It has run through the long river of history with brilliant civilizations, catalyzed the process of civilization, and also threatened the survival of mankind.

In fact, war has existed before humans appeared. War is not a patent of humans, but ants can do it too.

Putting aside complicated concepts, war is about attacking, plundering, and strengthening oneself for resources.

On the African savannah, each tribe has extremely rich resources. They have no worries about food and drink, and there seems to be no reason for war.

But human nature is indolent and indolent. Compared with obtaining resources from nature, plundering the resources of other tribes is faster and easier, and the rewards are more generous. While strengthening oneself, it can also squeeze the living space of other tribes, killing two birds with one stone.

Azuli could only make the above guesses before he figured out the real reason why the war broke out. He had seen many tribes perished due to war, and he knew the cruelty of war. Since the situation is troubled internally and externally, and war is unavoidable, he should go all out to fulfill his responsibilities as a kingdom and protect Wakanda like his ancestors.

At the frontline command post, Azuri felt helpless when he heard the sporadic gunfire from his own position. He sold vibranium to make a deal with the US imperialist government and built an army of fine weapons. However, the warriors of the tribe looked down on long guns and short cannons and stubbornly used the bows and arrows they had practiced since childhood.

This is the drawback left by Wakanda's isolation. There is no foreign cultural impact. The tribesmen are conservative and unwilling to accept new things.

Azuli realized something was wrong when he ascended the throne, especially the outbreak of World War II, which made him see the country's backwardness. He was determined to promote basic national education, but the elders of other tribes were very resistant to this policy, believing that it would shake the foundation of the country, and the plan has been shelved.

It's not that the elders of the tribe are short-sighted, but that the ruling class is extremely strict in controlling knowledge. Comparing a group of ignorant people with little education and a group of intellectuals with their own ideas, any fool knows which one to choose.

The times in the outside world are advancing too fast, and Azuri also knows that changing the pedantic ideas of the elders cannot be rushed, so his method is to implement the strategy of strengthening the country in the golden tribe with the least resistance, and wait ten or even twenty years before being pulled away Other tribes that are far apart can only adapt to the general trend in order to survive, and backward ideas will collapse on their own.

Governing a country is not something that can be accomplished overnight. In Azuri's plan, his generation must change the primitive and backward thinking. Wakanda will become truly powerful in the next generation. After he has paved the way, his son will inherit the throne and lead the country to complete its rise.

So far, his plan is going very well, except for this sudden war!

"Your Majesty, why don't you launch a charge?" Elder White Ape said impatiently: "Wakanda's advantage is hand-to-hand combat. If we continue to fight like this, we will only be overwhelmed and unable to raise our heads."

"Our firepower is weak. A strong attack will only increase meaningless casualties, and there are too many enemies on the opposite side. We must avoid attrition so as not to be completely defeated." Azuri pointed to the defense line on the map and patiently explained: " Close combat is really our strength, so I'm waiting for them to charge and kill them in the trenches in contact combat."

When the four elders heard that there was some truth to this, they stopped forcing it. However, as time passed, the expected enemy charge did not happen, and the white ape elder couldn't sit still.

"King, release the war machine and tear the enemy into pieces at once!"

The so-called war machine of the White Ape Elder refers to a giant rhinoceros wearing vibranium armor. Radiated by the vibranium veins, the rhinos in Wakanda are extremely large. The sharp horns on their heads are thicker than the thighs of adult men and are powerful. Infinite and extremely fast, once it charges up, it is a tribal version of blitzkrieg.

"It's not yet time..." Azuri's eyes flashed. Strategic weapons cannot be unveiled easily. Victory must be established as soon as they appear, otherwise it will be troublesome to find countermeasures for the enemy.

"Then when do you think the time is right?"

This won't work, and that won't work either. The grumpy elder White Ape couldn't help but lose his temper. He had never fought such a frustrating battle.

"Elder White Ape, you have to know that I am the king of Wakanda and the country's military leader after all. I have the final say here." Azuri snorted coldly and waved his hand to have Elder White Ape driven out.

The remaining three elders looked at each other in confusion. Azuri had always been a wise man and rarely had a bossy side. Today, he suddenly became so tough that they didn't know how to answer the question.

"Three elders, I have already made a battle plan. Let's see if there is anything else that needs to be added..." After driving away the white ape elders who only knew how to act recklessly, Azuri revealed his plan.

The three elders all nodded when they heard this, admiring Azuri's resourcefulness and suppressing their faint covetousness for the throne. Except for the elder White Ape who was kicked out, he felt that he was being maliciously suppressed and wanted to be the king even more.



On the other side of the battlefield, in the rear, Russell was bored in his tent.

There were no planes to gain air supremacy, no artillery to bombard the positions, and no tanks to drive in. The most powerful firepower was heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. The two sides dug trenches and fired at each other. The war was not brilliant at all, as if it was still in the First World War.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. The current Wakanda is indeed not as powerful as it was in the later period." Russell threw away the deformed metal remote control in his hand. He transformed the Cybertron jet fighter and was embarrassed to find that no one except him could pilot it. , can only be made into a remote control version.

At his feet, the black panther squinted and took a nap. After all, Russell couldn't bear to starve it to death, so he ordered someone to hunt an antelope and feed it into balls.

This is a big lazy cat. After eating and drinking, he dozes off at Russell's feet. He doesn't act cute at all and looks arrogant from beginning to end.

Russell squatted down and jerked off twice. Black Panther cooperated by lifting his chin and humming comfortably.

Crackling!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch——"

Russell took back his hand with a look of displeasure. The black panther's expression just now made him feel that he was not raising a pet, but serving it as a slave.



Two days passed in a flash. At night, the soldiers in the camp rested one after another. Except for the mercenaries on patrol, the entire camp became quiet.

In the past two days, the Wakandans' tactics were gradually discovered. They stood firm and refused to take a step forward. They only started to fight back when they charged into their trenches. The seemingly backward shield was extremely defensive, and the spear was indestructible. The careless mercenaries suffered heavy casualties for a while.

There was another strange thing on the battlefield. The mercenaries thought that the Wakandans knew witchcraft, and the shields painted with totems seemed to have some kind of magical power. They should have shot in the legs, but they involuntarily aimed at the shields.

The charge was repeatedly frustrated, and the mercenaries were not in a hurry. They imitated the tribe's indigenous soldiers in paddling, and occasionally fired cold guns to shoot off a few heads, and they just started to waste away.

The temperature in Africa was getting colder at night. Two soldiers were leaning against the trench, smoking and bragging. As soon as they lit the cigarette, they felt something strange, and their feet were shaking like an earthquake.

"earthquake?"

The two looked at each other. The vibration was not strong, like the aftermath of a distant earthquake spreading here. However, the sound of thousands of troops marching in parallel came closer and closer, making the two of them uncontrollably frightened and hurriedly leaned out of the trench to look forward.

When he saw it, he was stunned and his eyes widened.

"Big...elephant! It's a herd of elephants!"

"Idiot, that's a rhinoceros!"

The two stood up in fear and ran to the rear in a hurry. They were so frightened that they forgot to fire back.

There were quick shouts in the trenches, the awakened soldiers went into battle, and fire snakes bloomed in the night.

Rumble————

With the help of the moonlight, the appearance of the rhinoceros was revealed, its thick and powerful limbs, its horns shining with metallic luster, and its huge size, which was more than twice the size of ordinary rhinos on the grassland.

Looking around, there are half a hundred of these giant beasts, charging in a line, and the momentum is extremely terrifying.

The bullet hit the rhinoceros, making a clanging sound. They were wearing armor made of vibranium. Except for a pair of eyes exposed, the front half of their bodies was almost completely covered.

Seeing that hot weapons could not stop the charge of the giant beast, the soldiers in the trenches became uneasy. As the shaking sound approached, fear began to spread. A large number of soldiers abandoned their positions and fled backwards. Only a few threw grenades and followed the crowd to flee for their lives.

Several clusters of fire exploded in front of the position. The fire and explosions inspired the rhino's wild nature. They accelerated their charge and ran over, crossing the trench in one leap.

The soldiers, who only had two legs, were quickly overtaken by the rhino herd, and were trampled to pulp by iron hooves amidst their screams. Behind the rhino group, Wakandan warriors holding long conflict cards followed closely with shouts and broke the battle line in one fell swoop.



In the camp, Russell opened his eyes suddenly and strode out of the tent.

The ground rumbled and trembled, the sound of killing in the distance shook the sky, and a scream came from somewhere. An invisible sense of fear spread like a virus in the camp. Before the sleepy-eyed soldiers could figure out what happened, they followed the others and fled for their lives.

Rumble————

The herd of rhinos rushed into the camp, their huge bodies smashing into tents and sending soldiers flying high into the air.

The collapse was imminent and spread quickly. Many soldiers began to flee before they even put on their pants. They didn't know where the enemy was, but they were influenced by others and subconsciously joined the fleeing team, and then... they didn't want to run slower than others.

Bucky came to Russell's side and said quickly: "Sir, the Wakandans suddenly launched an attack, and the battle line..."

Russell interrupted directly: "Have we gathered all our people? Once we have gathered all our people, leave here first!"

"Then what do they do?"

"A bunch of rabble, whether they live or die has nothing to do with me."

At the same time, a dark figure came quietly and focused his attention on Russell and his party.
