章 873: If a Fight is What You Want, a Fight is What You’ve Got（II）

All those who were listening found the exchange simple, yet confusing. Tang Xiaotang said that if General Lebu wanted a fight then he had one, but when had he incited a fight?

Their confusion stemmed from the fact that they had never lived in the Wilderness, and so they had no understanding of its history or of the culture of its people.

The vast grasslands of the North were called the Wilderness because they had once belonged to the Wild People. One thousand years ago, the Wild Kingdom was the strongest force on earth. Now all who lived in the Wilderness were outcasts; remnants of the wild people who live out their days in suffering.

Once the Wild Kingdom was defeated by the Great Tang, the Wild People were exiled even further north. Their former slaves from the Tribe of Savages joined forces with their nomad tribesmen in the west to rebuild the Three Great Halls of Kings, finally regaining their freedom.
