Arcane Lord
Chapter 1438 Face the truth and accept it calmly
In response, Xia Duo smiled and retorted without any scruples:
"Is the Gray Eagle Clan Chief still deceiving himself? This elder shaman must have divined a long time ago. This year's winter will come earlier and last longer than before. What does this mean? I, a Nese person, don't need to explain it. ?”
Xia Duo's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake. Although they seemed ordinary, they instantly caused ripples. The expression on the Gray Eagle Clan leader's face was no longer calm and calm at the beginning. .
Instead, there was a hint of panic and fear.
As the leader of the tribe, he naturally understands the inside story better than an outsider like Xia Duo.
As early as a month ago, the great shaman divined that the north wind was approaching, and he had already predicted the coming weather conditions. The subsequent fortune tellings proved that the prediction was true.
This year's winter did come earlier and last longer than in previous years, which meant that the tribe needed to prepare more winter supplies, the most important of which was food.
Clothes are always accumulated in previous years. Even if there is a shortage of clothes, it is not difficult to keep warm as long as you don't go out, but food is indispensable.
If you don't eat, you will die. In this case, you can either go out to fight and plunder to obtain extra food, or you can only expel the elders in the tribe to reduce food consumption.
Apart from the fact that a very small number of large tribes are not short of food and are just trying to expand themselves, the other most fundamental reasons for the tribal battles in the autumn and winter of Langas Plain are here.
It's very simple, just to survive the winter smoothly (obtain food or consume people).
Because there are few people in a small tribe, it is not difficult to survive the winter smoothly if there are no other external factors, because all the old and weak are already dead in normal times.
However, many large and medium-sized tribes have a large population and it is difficult to provide food throughout the winter.
Whether to send the people of your own tribe to die, or to rob some weaker tribes so that your own people can survive, anyone who is not stupid knows what to do.
The Gray Eagle tribe is indeed a large tribe, but it is not big enough to not lack food. Especially when winter comes earlier and becomes longer, it needs supplies from the outside world.
In previous years, this level would not have been difficult to pass, but this year it was a bit special.
Because he had frequent contact with the Nese people, there were even rumors that he wanted to join the Nese people, and some large tribes found out.
On the Langas Plain, it is difficult for large tribes and small tribes to coexist. Even small tribes protected by large tribes are still regarded as food reserves to a large extent. When there is a shortage of food, they have to use it to make up for it.
The relationship between the big tribes is even more cruel. Everyone wants to be the only "big tribe among the big tribes", so all kinds of open and secret fights never stop.
Situations like this where several major tribes jointly encircled and suppressed another major tribe rarely occurred in the history of Langas Plain, but once it occurred, the outcome of destruction was almost difficult to change.
If a large tribe falls, I don’t know how many large, medium and small tribes can have a prosperous winter.
Today, the Gray Eagle Tribe is on the verge of destruction. At this moment, the Gray Eagle Clan leader, who has been exposed by Sha Duo, finally realizes that the only one who can save the Gray Eagle Tribe from being destroyed is the person in front of him.
Before that, he even wanted to discuss terms with the Nese lord. Now it seems that the previous idea was too naive.
The leader of the Gray Eagle clan suddenly thought that when he first received the news that several major tribes were going to hunt Gray Eagle, the great shaman suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years. During this period of time, he has never refused his words.
The great shaman knew this outcome at that time!
Thinking of this, the Gray Eagle clan leader turned to look at the elder beside him. At this moment, he seemed to see a trace of relief, a trace of expectation and a trace of loneliness in the other person's eyes.
The Gray Eagle clan leader seemed to understand something. The panic in his eyes gradually disappeared. Instead, there was a trace of consciousness, and he calmly said to Xia Duo:
"Do the promises made by Steward Arman on behalf of Lord Shado still count?"
"Which one are you referring to?"
"'You can send some people to your territory to have a look first' this!"
As soon as Xia Duo obeyed, he immediately understood that he was preparing to surrender, so he made his promise personally, "Even now, those words still stand!"
And said: "Clan Chief Gray Eagle, do you want to see where you will live in the future? I also have a Langas tribe there, and they are living very well now."
"Oh?" Chief Gray Eagle's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Which tribe is it?"
"Have you heard of the Gray Eagle Clan Leader of the Kabu Tribe?"
"I think I've heard of it, but I have no impression of it."
The leader of the Gray Eagle tribe was embarrassed to say that he had never heard of the Kabu tribe, but at this moment, the great shaman who had been silent before suddenly interrupted:
"The Kabu tribe is a small tribe in the east. I once met their shaman when I was young. We met in the wild and hunted the same wilderness lizard together."
At the end of the story, the great shaman showed a nostalgic expression on his face, and at the end he asked: "Is that shaman still alive now?"
"I have probably guessed who you are talking about! Unfortunately, he has passed away. In order to save the warriors of the tribe, he spent the last bit of his life's strength."
Speaking of which, Xia Duo personally presided over the funeral of the Kabu Shaman!
At that time, the Linshui Village Cemetery in the territory had just been built, and a formal burial ceremony was needed. In addition, the Kabu tribe had just joined the Daxia Territory. To show their importance, Xia Duo personally hosted it.
"It doesn't matter. The meaning of the shaman's existence is for the tribe. He died a worthy death." Gray Eagle Shaman said calmly.
Xia Duo was silent, and then changed the topic back to its original track: "I wonder who the Gray Eagle clan leader is going to send to the Great Xia Territory?"
"Can I go there in person?"
"No problem, shall we go there now, or -"
"Go over there now!"
Now that he has made up his mind, the leader of the Gray Eagle clan no longer hesitates. If he hadn't seen the actual situation of the Daxia Territory with his own eyes, he might have agreed by now.
Immediately afterwards, the leader of the Gray Eagle tribe asked the shaman, "If anyone comes to me, just say that I am praying to the ancestors and hope that the tribe can survive this crisis."
"Clan leader, don't worry, I will take care of it on the tribe's side."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Shaman."
…
The conversation between the two was not hidden from Xia Duo, and they quickly explained all the affairs in the territory. After that, the leader of the Gray Eagle clan looked like he was ready to die and said to Xia Duo:
"Lord Shado, I'm ready."
"Haha, don't be so nervous. The teleportation spell is very safe. You will be able to see the true situation of Daxia Territory soon!"
With that said, Xia Duo directly opened the portal to the Territory Code Square in the Ancestral Spirit Hall, then walked in first and waved to Lord Gray Eagle from the opposite side.
