Chapter 501 (1/2)

Dekeya is the third son of the leader of the komanche tribe. Among the many sons of the komanche chief, dekeya is undoubtedly the best.

Now the komanche chief is very old, and his health is getting worse and worse. Therefore, more and more tribes begin to support dekeya with a clear-cut banner.

Comanchi language is a branch of Aztec language, and dekeya means ”friendly messenger” in comanchi language.

Dekeya is not satisfied with the name given to him by his father, because he doesn't like friendship, what he likes is power and violence!

But what dekia doesn't know is that his name, dekia, if translated into English, is ”texia”, which later became the source of the name of Texas.

When the Spanish colonists first arrived here, they asked the local Indians which tribe they belonged to, and the answer was texia. Texia means ”friendly emissary” in the local language, which is used by the Indians to show that they are not the Apache tribe hostile to the Europeans.

The Spanish mistakenly thought it was a tribal name, so they called it texia, and then it gradually became Texas.

As a matter of fact, the Comanches, like the Apache, were Indian tribes that hated the Spanish colonists and even other colonists.

The combatant Comanches not only attacked the small tribes nearby, but also took the initiative to attack the Spanish and British colonists. It was only in the early 19th century that they were defeated after fighting the arapahos who went south, and eventually had to form an alliance with the Cheyenne to seek a truce.

But the war with the arapahos greatly damaged the strength of the Comanches. When the United States moved westward, they were unable to fight with the Americans, and finally they were expelled by the Americans and moved into the reserve.

But at this time, the Comanche tribe is still at its peak.

Now the Cherokees are coming all the way, and the komanches at the forefront will face the Cherokees who have defeated many powerful tribes in the north. Chief Comanche is old, and the old are about to see the gods, so dekeya, with the support of many tribes, became the top commander of the coalition against the Cherokees.

In the eyes of the Comanches and their allies, dekia has done really well before. The Cherokees came here as early as spring, but they didn't win the Comanches. On the contrary, the Cherokees were afraid to move forward because of the outbreak of the disease.

It was for this reason that Comanche had time to discuss with the Apache and Navajo, and finally the three powerful tribes united to form a huge coalition.

Compared with the Indian tribes in the Central Plains and the northern Great Lakes region, the number of Indian tribes living in the southwest is not the largest, and the hot and dry climate limits the outbreak of these tribal populations.

However, no one can deny that the Indian tribes living in this harsh natural environment are extremely brave.

In this land, a battle of hundreds of people is considered a large-scale war. If the number of people exceeds 1000, it is absolutely a very large war.

Now, in this vast and flat land, there are nearly 20000 soldiers from three tribes. This is unprecedented!

As the commander of the coalition forces, dekeya is also extremely proud after seeing the coalition soldiers all over the mountains. Because these allied forces were under his command against the Cherokees. If he can defeat the Cherokees, he can't think of anyone who can compete with him as the chief of the Comanche tribe after the old guy dies!
