From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 196 Conspiracy (Part 1) Give me some monthly votes~

The night after the negotiations broke up, several sneaky figures quietly returned to the expeditionary camp, saying they wanted to ask to see the Troll Commander.

When Big Ya met them in his small office with doubts, these sneaky figures finally revealed their identities.

There were three visitors in total, the leader of whom was the son of the only remaining chief of the Toulon tribe, Tutun Earthshaker who had visited the Yabu headquarters;

The rest were those who attended the morning meeting, and represented some two of the clan representatives.

The three figures stood with Tutun as the center, then took off their hooded robes, followed the rules of the trolls, and bowed to salute the giant fang while stroking their chests.

Big Tooth looked at them with great interest, and then asked,

"Isn't this the chief's son? It seems that these two people met during negotiations during the day? So, what are you going to do?"

"Your Excellency, the commander of the powerful expeditionary force in the Black Forest, you remember correctly. I am Tutun Earthshaker, and I am indeed the only remaining descendant of the former great chief."

"What? Are you here to take revenge? Hahaha!"

"How could it be? Although my father and two brothers both died in the battle, they died heroically after all; and the expeditionary force's uprightness also allowed them to die well. For a soldier, this is the most glorious and most honorable death.

An elusive death."

"Yes, it is better to die on the battlefield than to die in the conspiracy of the tribe. We will never have any hatred towards the great Black Forest Troll because of this."

The son of the chief and another horned hoof species quickly opened their mouths to explain.

"Haha! You guys are quite interesting." Big Tooth laughed for a while before stopping, and then continued with the slightly embarrassed expressions of the three horn-hoofed species,

The one on the right is the representative of the Zafarullah clan of Tutun's mother clan, and is the brother of the deceased chief's wife.

The shamans don't know which tendon suddenly went wrong, and they are planning to establish a "caster council system" after this period, so that the Toulon tribe will never have the position of "big chief" in the future.

Even the Ancestral Altar wants to overthrow the clan politics that the Toulon tribe has always implemented.

The Zafarullah clan specializes in forging weapons. Although their products are not the best in the North, they still have a firm grip on the local market at that time due to their geographical advantages and decent craftsmanship.

Supply of weapons to the Lun tribe and other surrounding tribes.

And starting from the time when the previous chiefs of the Duarlana clan took office, the three clans continued to expand their strength in all aspects;

By the time the fourth great chief of the clan came to power, nearly a hundred years before they moved south, the Duarlana clan had already begun to intensify their infiltration into the Earthshaker Legion with the help of their allies;

Its purpose is naturally to deepen its control over the tribe's standing elite legions.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next chief will not even need to be elected by the traditional tribal assembly, but will be directly appointed by a descendant of the previous chief.

"Yes, I will obey your will"

And the reason lies in the black forest and the altar of ancestors. Although it is only a one-sided statement.

From this, a problem arose. The status of the three clan alliance that had ruled Toulon for six generations suddenly became precarious at this time.

Adler's was famous for its wine making in the North. At its peak, its products were sold well in the North and east and west, and it was one of the synonyms of high-quality wine in the North.

It can be said that if this sudden war had not occurred, the alliance of the three clans, with their respective advantages and deep foundation, would have basically stood on the absolute commanding heights over the other clans, and would have been almost unstoppable.

Possibility of overturning.

The relationship between them is also very interesting in Big Tooth's opinion. It is a kind of 'clan alliance' that is basically impossible to form in the black forest.

The clan from which Tutun came was called the Duarlana clan in ancient times. They had been married to the Adler clan and the Zafarullah clan for generations since the Toulon clan was still rooted in the north.

Close allies within the tribe.

One of the manifestations of this is that the Earthshaker clan, with the acquiescence of other clans, gradually has a tendency to turn the position of chief into a hereditary system, in order to further neutralize the prestige of the ancestor altar in the tribe.

After that, the third son of the chief began to introduce the two people around him and the general reason for coming.

The person on his left is the representative of the Adler family of Tutun's wife clan, who seems to be his wife's younger brother, or something like an elder brother;

Another 20% are from the Zafarullah family, and 10% are from the Adler family. After calculation, the three families are combined to be 70%.

In addition, because shamans have a strict tradition of "breaking away from the clan", and the ancestor altar has an extremely strong special status among the people, even among the bottom members of each clan;

Therefore, although these seventeen clans also compete with each other, most of the time they actually stand on the same front to fight against the control of the people's hearts by the Ancestral Altar.

In the next hundred years, the three clans started to use methods such as marrying off their daughters. Until the former chief changed the name of the clan to "Earthshaker" during the migration, their plot against the legion was finally successful.

But the situation took a turn for the worse in the past few days. The situation suddenly changed drastically, and their original intention of "retreating bravely" became filled with reluctance.

Although the other clans had some complaints about the long-term strength of the Three Clans Alliance, they had previously prepared to take the opportunity to pull them down;

But no matter what, everyone is digging in the same pit, and now suddenly an 'outsider' wants to take the opportunity to overturn the table, which naturally makes them unite again.

Although with the start of the southward migration, the strength of the remaining two tribes in the alliance has shown an unstoppable downward trend due to the loss of markets, loss of minerals and other reasons;

But relying on the foundation they have accumulated over hundreds of years, they still firmly stand in the top eight ranks of the Seventeen Clan.

Big Ya felt dizzy after hearing this long and stinky narration;

He rubbed his eyes, waved his hand impatiently for them to leave temporarily, and then walked directly to the witch doctors, preparing to leave such a complicated matter to them.

After a while, the witch doctors gathered together again and listened to Big Tooth's ragged retelling.

Even the position of warchief that was 'supposed' to be inherited by Tutun Earthshaker has tended to be passed over to his family due to various disputes.

The combined efforts of the three parties have both military force, financial resources, and a stable supply of weapons, giving the alliance the confidence to look out for all directions from the very beginning.

According to their own words, under this situation of internal and external troubles, the three clans have given up their thoughts on continuing to fight;

He planned to use the reputation of the Earthshaker clan among the people as bait, settle for the next best thing, wait for a price among the other clans, and then work hard for a period of time in a low-key manner, seeking to restore his own strength.

"Okay, I don't like nonsense, let's tell you why you are here."

How can this be done?

As for Duarlana, who had been renamed Earthshaker, during the reign of the sixth chief, the father of Tutun, his status did not even decline but rose;

The clan's control over military power reached its peak during the migration;

Tutun's father also relied on his success in leading the tribe to migrate smoothly, and became the most prestigious chief in the tribe in the past few hundred years. He even suppressed the voice of the ancestor altar in the tribe at one time.

In the end, although Juya couldn't bear to deal with this kind of thing, he was not really stupid, and the simple description could still be completed.

As for the remaining 30%, part of it was divided up by the remaining 14 clans, and the other part was occupied by the horned hoof commoners.

At this moment when all the heads of the three clans were killed in the battle, these three are equivalent to the 'characters' who currently hold the highest real power in their respective clans.

As a result, the prestige accumulated by the ancestors of the Earthshaker clan can be used again, and the clans are preparing to put him on the stage, who has lost most of his power, to win the hearts and minds of the people with the Ancestral Altar.

However, the seeds of distrust had already been planted in the previous "adding insult to injury". However, the Three Clans Alliance had other thoughts during these ups and downs. They were ready to do nothing and simply rely on the great people.

Black Forest Troll.

In other words, the three Tutuns came here to seek the status of a 'spokesperson' and wanted to use the power of the Black Forest Troll to once and for all secure their dominance in the Toulon tribe.

"The shamans are too scheming after all. A Toulon tribe that is purely ruled by clans may be more powerful against us? This may be an opportunity."

And this willingness to unite has become stronger after this morning's negotiations.

But in this battle, everything changed, and the invasion of the trolls became an 'accident'.

Because the binding between the three clans and the Earthshaker Legion is too deep, especially the Earthshaker clan, in order to strengthen their control over the legion, many elites in the clan serve as various mid- to high-level officers;

Then, they naturally suffered all casualties during the war, causing the clan's own combat strength to be seriously damaged;

The other two clans were already in the throes of migration, and their losses in this battle were more serious than those of the other clans.

Today, among the three clans, there is a relationship between you, me, and you. It can be regarded as a kind of relationship where everyone is prosperous and the other suffers.

Among them, the Duarlana clan dominates with their warrior talents and the resulting individual combat power. So far, this clan has produced six consecutive Toulon chiefs, who have controlled the clan for a long period of time.

The temporal power of the tribe.

Moreover, each of the three clans can be regarded as the most powerful among the major clans of the Hornhoof Tribe.

Before the start of this war, 40% of the mid- to high-level officers in the Earthshaker Legion were from the Duarlana clan, or were the clan's sons-in-law;

"I guess so, but how to use it?"

"Maybe we should listen to what the three visitors have to say? They have more experience and knowledge in this area than we do. Maybe they already have ideas?"

"That's fine."

Give me some monthly tickets~ At least it will put me higher on the fantasy list.

Woohoo~ I can only rely on this way to get exposure. With more readers, can I write more vigorously~~
