Regarding the mess of the tribal holy mountain regaining war, I visited the huge camp group with confusion, collecting and investigating clues.

I spent a whole day, holding a bag of jerky from Delvas Town, finding the chiefs of various small tribes, and trying to restore the original appearance of the war that lasted for several months.

Fortunately, no matter where I went, no matter which tribe I was looking for, or how much they knew about it, they would become able to sing and dance with all their words under the inspiration of the food in my hands.

These small tribe chiefs who were so hungry that they could not rob, put down the Guanyin earthen rice and wild grass root ramen in their hands, and described in detail the whole story of the battle.

In summary, this matter can start with the big defeat I found out last time.

The jay tribe fled overnight, but was ambushed and severely damaged by barbarian tribes on this grassland. A large number of elderly, weak, women and children were captured and killed. However, young and middle-aged people fled to the Corilo Mountain overnight, including the jays that were famous during this period.

This made me very happy. Jays are the subject of scramble for all tribes, and they can be confirmed to be dead or captured.

With the toxic dust remaining and the famine this year is inevitable, the Thirteen Allied Tribes have already made up their minds to grab the magical seeds and jayshamans from the Brown Pool Tribe.

But the offensive battle was not going well.

The reason should start with the composition of the thirteen alliance tribes.

The origin of the Thirteen Tribes is no longer verified, but what is certain is that they all originated from this grassland and have a deep blood ties to respect this Holy Mountain of Corilo.

The common belief based on the Holy Mountain culture and clan worship is to connect the tribe together with spiritual power.

However, different lifestyles have gradually brought inevitable changes to the ideology of the tribe. For example, the Juhe tribe where Chief Bettehold was sitting occupied a rushing river across the grasslands, engaged in a parallel life of farming, fishing and hunting, with the largest population and unquestionable strength, belonged to the strongest force in the tribe, and tended to develop gently and conservatively.

Among the Encourage tribes, the same types include the Balger Clan Alliance, the Chiuvitox Clan Alliance and the Cliff Clan Council Alliance...

I don’t know where these long and smelly names were copied, but they indirectly reflect their way of absorbing and developing together.

The Scorpion Yakan tribe, the Sokeno Chief Alliance, the Kureanda National Unification Front, the Leaf Tribe, etc., all live nomadic life, are better at using scimitars and bows to obtain resources and land, and have relatively complete tribal war technology and a powerful army.

Of course, the above are just the forces in the first echelon of the Cow Hair Tribe on the grassland, and more are small forces like the Loka Freedoms in the tent next door. Several families gather together to keep warm in order to survive the difficult years on the grassland.

The Brown Pond Tribe belonged to the later tribe, but it had advantages in agriculture and handicrafts. After possessing the magical food, the chief and shaman of the tribe did not gradually spread the grain according to my plan, but chose to speed up the pace to strengthen itself and store small tribes. In a year, a force that should not be underestimated.

Now the remnants of the Brown Pool Tribe are hiding on the easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack Corilo Mountain. The warlike tribe's idea is also very simple, which is to tear the defense line through a fierce attack and steal what they want.

However, the Scorpion Yakan tribe took the lead in attacking the tough situation, but was defeated by the Brown Chi tribe guarded on the mountain in front of the pass, causing heavy losses to the personnel.

The Juhe tribe who arrived later saw that the war was not going well, showed his big brother's attitude, tried to mediate the conflict, called on the Brown Chi tribe to go down the mountain to negotiate and share resources to overcome the crisis - I could see through his intention at a glance.

If you can't beat it, you will talk, if you can't fight it, you will fight it. This technique is very familiar.

What is the difference between this slogan and the Lighthouse Kingdom allowing a developing country to "play a greater role in international affairs"? If they really take out the tribute, they will leave it alone?

"It's a crime to bear a treasure..."

I sighed and handed the last barley cake on my body to the tribal children around me. These children dig worms on the ground every day to dry them as food. The baby fat of normal children has no residue on them, but is full of the wind and frost of life on their faces.

The chief, who was also frivolous in front of me, glanced at the child with envy, then put away his expression he shouldn't have and said, "The messenger of the Shanshu clan, if our Wayne tribe becomes a vassal, can we get relief to overcome the difficulties?"

I asked, "Is the totem of your tribe a bat?"

"Ah... this... isn't... no one should use this sneaky creature as a tribal mark, right?" the chief said embarrassedly.

But seeing me showing a disappointed expression, I quickly said, "Ah no no no... But if it is the request of the Sugi Tree clan, we can change it! It can change it!"

That's good.

As long as I don't meet a Wayne tribe who worships the big bats, I'll be relieved.

It’s not scary to ask for copyright fees from genuine Batman. If Darkside chases over from Apocalypse, it will be really troublesome...

"If you want to join, join. You walk south and find out that the flag in front of a tent is the clan of the fir tree."

With the words of the chief's gratitude, I, the messenger, completed all the tasks and left the tribe, preparing to return to the Crane Clan, and summarize today's news with Gray.

The current division of labor is that I hide in the dark and go on the bottom line, secretly contacting scattered tribes, bribing some people to supplement our number of disadvantages, and strengthening the strength of the Shanshu clan in the name of besieging the commander-in-chief.

Gray is responsible for taking the upper level openly, and ignoring the chiefs of the large tribes to find out the details of these people.

Early in the morning, Gray received a notice that a standing committee was about to be held and that all tribe members were required to participate. He, the temporary head of the siege project, also had to attend, so he left early in the morning and should come back now.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the tent, he saw Gray sitting inside with a bitter face and sulking.

Gray was beaten to autism by his grandfather since he was a child. He was not good at expressing emotions on weekdays. It is rare to have such obvious emotions.

"What's wrong? The negotiations are not going well?"

I asked.

Gray frowned and said, "It's not a question of whether it's going well... it's that kind... it's very special..."

I was immediately amused: "What kind of? Have you seen half-human and half-fish creatures?"

Gray said: "Boss, how do you know that I have seen a mermaid... Alas, I'm worried about the whole meeting today. Everyone was praising Bettehold's wise decision-making, but when they talked about how to recover the Holy Mountain, they pretended to have amnesia, and they all looked like fools..."

I smiled and said, "So you think they are all fools?"

Gray nodded vigorously.

I shook my head and said, "If you make a mistake, you can only say that what they do is undoubtedly a fool. In the overall situation, smart people will make wise decisions. But you must know that only the smartest group will do the stupidest things!"

Gray thought for a while and suddenly said, "Boss, I don't think what you said is accurate..."

After saying that, he pointed to the outside of the tent with a tangled look on his face, and the clan flag that I made overnight.

"Why is our totem a Christmas tree!"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's the symbol of the strongest warrior in history." I pointed to the flag at the door and said righteously.

"What?" Gray looked at me in shock.

"It is said that he wore a red hat and was very skilled in martial arts. He killed the big bad demon wolf Fenriel with bare hands at a young age. He also pretended to be Thor, Sea King and other gods. His real name is Fulijianghe Xu."

I told Gray about Santa's background, "He has a heroic beard and a strong body, and he drove the divine power wheels led by the divine beast elk and ran around the sky. He was an unquestionable king when he was alive. He was named Duke of Winterfell and guarded the North!"

"Wait a minute, where is this place? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"I haven't heard that you are too ignorant. Then you should know his classic battle? The Hefei battle defeated Sun 100,000 troops with 800 people. His name can even stop the child from crying at night! After his death, due to his unyielding fighting spirit and outstanding achievements, he was selected into the Temple of the Gods and enjoyed glory forever!"

Grey was stunned for a long time: "Boss, have you messed up these deeds? My intuition tells me that these are not stories about one person at all!"

I said indifferently: "Don't care about these details. Just say that when you were young, don't you stop crying when you heard his name?"

Grey decisively complained: "Yes... a ghost! Is that the saying that adults deceive children is OK! It's not that they don't dare to cry, but... it's... it seems that they really don't dare to cry? No! This is not that they are so scared that they don't cry because they are afraid that they won't receive gifts!"

I patted his shoulder: "Those who care about the details are all ⑨, and the result is the same."

"You are the boss and you have the final say... Anyway, I, the chief of Santa Claus, have been decided..."

Gray and I sat down again and exchanged the information we received at the meeting for a while. Finally, what we can be sure of is that regarding the siege led by the Sugishu clan, the tribe collectively stated that there was no food or soldiers, and we could only find a way for ourselves. The attack time is tentatively scheduled to be two days later, and the possibility of our final struggle was eliminated from the root.

After asking about the performances of everyone at the meeting, I said to Gray: "Now I understand. It's not that they can't fight, but they deliberately don't fight..."

When Gray heard this, he hurried over and asked, "Why is it? Is there an insider inside?"

Gray witnessed their negative attitude with his own eyes, and coupled with my visits today, I can now be sure that this so-called war triggered by the so-called sacred covenant has evolved into a huge conspiracy!

I smiled coldly: "Think about it, the Brown Pool Tribe understands the importance of these seeds and secretly hides them and refuses to flow out. Then these thirteen compatriot tribes are so kind-hearted that they want to gather people from the entire grassland to get a piece of the pie and add potential enemies to themselves?"

I guess the first tribes that set up ambush and attacked may have a chance to wipe out the remnants of the Brown Pond Tribe, but no one wants to be the first to be the first, and he tacitly refuses to fulfill this mission.

Although these tribes are divided into strengths and weaknesses, no one can fight against and suppress all other tribes with his own strength.

At that time, everyone knew that the Brown Pool Tribe was not wrong, but they shouldn't have magical crop seeds in their hands. In these tribes, everyone wanted to monopolize the treasure, but they all knew that the next person they snatched would become the target of public attack.

As for why not share?

If the Thirteen Engagement Tribes can tolerate common development, they will not have to use violent means to achieve their goals...

In short, greed and suspicion became ghosts wandering among tribes, constantly causing trouble in the middle, causing some incredible things.

At the beginning, the Scorpion Yakan tribe, which had the most powerful force, also tried to attack the mountain alone to win the victory, but was bizarrely wiped out, and the Brown Pool tribe was lucky enough to gain a foothold, defend the pass, and constructed a natural barrier that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In their mouths, this war was portrayed as a huge monster on the sacred snow mountain suddenly appeared, attacking the troops and causing a defeat, but I guess this was just an excuse for the Scorpion Yakan tribe to cover up the failure.

At this point, the war has entered a strategic stalemate stage, and neither side can change the status quo.

After that, a group of small tribes on the grassland that were poisoned by poisonous dust also came here, trying to pray for the magical crops to save the tribe. Chief Bethold of the Juhe Tribe took advantage of the situation and issued a war mobilization order for the Holy Covenant, requiring all tribes to send warriors here to participate in the battle.

The sinister intention of this command was not discovered by many people at that time.

After that, only the elderly, weak, women and children were left in the tribes on the grassland, waiting for the chiefs and soldiers to bring back the life-saving artifact. Unfortunately, what they waited for was a ruthless grain collection order, which was a trick that could be seen in the dagger.

In the face of the crisis of famine, no one can survive alone. The only difference is the amount of grain stored by the tribe and the length of time to survive. Therefore, these large tribes are like a group of gamblers who are gambled with red eyes, pressing the fate of the entire tribe on the crops that can mature in a few days.

The confrontation between large tribes can easily lead to emptiness behind the tribe. In order to prevent fire in the backyard, they used their rights to recruit all the soldiers and plundered all the food in order to weaken the vassal forces that might be ill-behaved.

At this moment, everyone was betting whether their food was exhausted first, the siege failed, or the Brown Pond tribe on the mountain collapsed and went down the mountain to seek peace.

Their choice is only one way to win, and the people who insist on waiting for victory can elegantly distribute the spoils and consolidate their dominance...

"Boss Marcus, if there are many people who survive, will their plan fail and work in vain?" Gray asked objectively.

I frowned and said, "You are so kind... By then, except for a few major forces, everyone else will be hungry... How many people can survive in the end, I am afraid that these weaker forces will not be able to do with them..."

Speaking of this, I further speculate: "Not only that, the winner will be able to carry food and return to the grassland as a savior, easily acquire and annex the tribes of the headless dragons, easily complete the grassland cleaning, break through the population restrictions of Malthus, and become a great kingdom on the grassland!"

After connecting the quagmire of war outside with the future guesses, even I couldn't help but have a cold war

In the rarely-petitive Riegomi shrub desert, despite its barbarity and disorder, the labor force is a competitive resource everywhere, and no one will choose to adopt the policy of massacre and extinction.

On the blue hermit crab grassland of the lake, which is populated by a large population, compared with the population that emerges like weeds, the forces are competing for the limited living space and social resources here. Under the current situation where productivity has stopped due to barbarism, it seems natural to eliminate some of the population.

But who cares how much blood of innocent people has been poured out behind this cruel rule?

"So today we secretly expand our power, which may be something they like. These chiefs hope to lie dormant in the dark, eliminate some of their opponents in the name of rebellion and escape, and then eliminate another part with war and famine. The rest are well-deserved winners..."
