Wyande considered his words and replied cautiously: "This information has not been verified, but is hearsay. There are various opinions, but one thing is certain. There is indeed a new wave in the Andis Mountains.
The power of the river is rising, and the source of the reflowed Jacob River is indeed in the Andis Mountains, and the source of the mother river is also in the Andis Mountains, but few people know the specific situation, and the situation there is very closed."
"Whether what that Andis man said is true or false, one thing is certain, our despair swamp is changing. Once it really turns back to the plains, this place will become the fattest fat. Let's not say it far, just say it.
Our old neighbor, the Kingsley family led by the Carter Army, is eyeing us. In fact, before I came back, that old viper Buck had already attacked the border city of Despair Swamp, but the man he sent was a
Idiot, Wycliffe and I have tampered with it a little bit more, and now it's completely in chaos, and the Kingsley family shouldn't be able to borrow from it."
Wyande took a deep breath and completely revealed the situation he had mastered, "But the Kingsley family is stepping up its efforts to clean up the internal turmoil, and the army is gathering in the direction of the Swamp of Despair. They have long had the intention to plot the Swamp of Despair. Once they lose
Due to the geographical dangers, there is no way to resist them with just one city and one town. We must summon all the clan leaders and elders, convene an elders' council, and work together to be able to defend our homeland."
"If this is the case, it is not just the Kingsley family who are plotting our swamp of despair." Weber's expression was gloomy and he meant something.
Although he has not gone out to see the world like his son, it does not mean that he does not understand the situation outside at all, especially about his old neighbor, the Kingsley family led by the Carter Army.
Over the years, they have been scheming with each other in border cities to protect the interests of the Crocodile tribe from being infringed upon.
Wyande was also a smart man, and he understood it clearly. He took a breath and said, "What does father mean, that the Andis people also want to plot the Swamp of Despair?"
"The other party has greater ambitions. Not only does it plot the Swamp of Despair, but it also wants to eat us crocodile tribesmen in one bite!" Weber looked at the Donau River in the distance, his eyes deepening.
"Eating our crocodile tribe members in one bite shows how ambitious they are. What exactly did they say?" Wyande was a young man after all, and he jumped up in anger after hearing this.
"The statement is similar to yours. It won't be long before the Despair Swamp will become a place of war for many forces. We, the Crocodile Tribe, will never be spared if we are exposed to it. He also said that we, the Crocodile Tribe, will never be able to resist it on our own.
In the past, in the eyes of those Byron people who lived a prosperous life, we were just barbarians in the backcountry, and they would not regard us as human beings at all, especially the Kingsley family. If they fell into their hands, they would only be reduced to mining slaves.
And their Yongye Army Leader is willing to lend a helping hand. We and they are both survivors of the Guandis Empire. We are originally a family. We Crocodile Tribe people can fully join the Yongye Army Leader. They will treat us equally.
It’s time to jointly develop a new swamp of despair and turn this place back into the land of plenty it once was. That’s pretty much what it means.”
Weber answered expressionlessly, but there was a coldness hidden under his hard expression.
Wyande was extremely angry and laughed back: "It's really shameless. I have never seen anyone talk about the invasion in such a high-sounding way. What's the difference between them and the Kingsley family? It's just a blunt statement.
Put a hypocritical mask on your face. The Swamp of Despair is the place where we have lived for generations. Why should we develop it with them? What if we refuse? Don’t they just march into the Swamp of Despair? Why do we Crocodile tribesmen join them?
?Instead of them joining us Crocodile tribesmen? We develop the Andes Mountains with them, do they agree?"
"Where is the envoy from the Andis people? I want to see him now to see what he has to say." Wyande turned around and wanted to walk out. Even though the Andis envoy was now
If you're not in Lausanne, you won't be far away in three days.
"Come back." Weber shouted sharply, "I thought you had become mature after ten years of training, but why are you still acting so impetuous and childish? What's the point of asking these questions? What ultimately matters is not the strength of the tribe. If
We are strong enough, let alone the Kingsley family, the leader of the Yongye Army, what if the entire Byron Alliance invades on a large scale? If we don't have enough strength, what will happen no matter how reasonable we are?"
Wyande's raised steps froze there, and after a few seconds, he finally fell down.
Yes, he is no longer the high-spirited young man who ran away from home with his companions at all costs for his own dreams.
Although the outside world is colorful, it is also extremely cruel. Especially as a foreigner, I feel endless malice in it.
In the final analysis, they are still too weak. If their race can be as powerful as the Odin orcs outside the Broken Mountains, they will probably have to treat it with a different attitude.
Fortunately, Wyande can be said to have weathered the storm and is not so easily decadent. Since he has no chance to enjoy the shadow of the powerful race and tribe, he strives to let his descendants enjoy the shadow of his own, asking: "What's wrong with my father?"
Intend?"
"I am going to convene a council of elders and ask the elders to listen to what the Andis man said and see how the elders react before making any plans. It is useless for me to believe it alone. If the elders of other ethnic groups don't believe it,
"It's useless if you don't cooperate." Weber patted Wyande on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, you are back. Not only does it make my father feel confident, but he is no longer fighting alone. He must be tired after walking such a long way.
, go wash your face, have a good sleep, and change your clothes, you are already home, it is outrageous to still be wearing outer clothes."
"Understood, father." Wyande lowered his head to express his submission.
Weber chatted with Wyand for a few more words about his experiences away from home in the past few years, and then left in a hurry.
Convening an elders' meeting is a truly major event. Not only do people need to be sent to contact the elders of each ethnic group, but the corresponding venue must also be prepared.
This is a matter of face for this tribe. If it is too crude, it will spread throughout the Despair Swamp and become a joke to the entire Crocodile tribe.
Fortunately, they now have Losander Castle, which is absolutely unique among the entire Crocodile tribe, and will earn them plenty of face.
But the most important thing is security work.
You must know that the Elders Council invited the elders of the entire Despair Swamp Crocodile tribe.
However, the Crocodile tribe has never been harmonious and unified within the tribe. There are annexations and hatreds between tribes and tribes. Even the usual process of convening the Council of Elders will not go smoothly, and several lives will be lost if not careful.
If they are ordinary guards and followers, that's it. If they are elders, it will mean the survival of the corresponding ethnic group and tribe. The ethnic group and tribe that convened the elders meeting will also be criticized and their prestige will be greatly lost. No one will come to attend the elders meeting they convened next time.
Parliament.
Now due to the shortage of food, the entire Despair Swamp is in severe conflict. It is really not the best time to convene the Council of Elders.
But the news brought by the Andis envoy left Weber with no choice. He could not believe what the other party said, but he could not ignore the changes that were taking place in the Despair Swamp environment. Now his son had confirmed the news.
Wyande's previous question was not something he had not asked himself.
If they reject the Andis people's suggestion, will they abandon Swamp of Despair?
the answer is negative.
The next time the other party comes, it will not be a messenger, but a mighty army.
This kind of courtesy first and then attack by the other party also illustrates a problem in disguise. The other party is confident enough and confident that they can eat them even if they are prepared.
Wyande did not give up. He always wanted to meet the Andis envoy from the Andis Mountains, but he never found the opportunity.
There is no better son than a father.
Even though the two hadn't seen each other for ten years, Weber still saw through his little thoughts and didn't want him to cause trouble when the Council of Elders was about to convene.
Losander is an out-and-out large group among the Crocodile Clan. The territory they control spans nearly a hundred kilometers, and most of them are along the Donau River, which is the richest in products. There are over 10,000 Crocodile Clan soldiers. If not for this, the Yongye Army would have
The envoys will not be the first to find them.
Losander has also had a pretty good reputation in recent decades. No ethnic group will refuse their invitation, including those ethnic groups that don't deal with them. They not only want to participate, but also actively participate.
Because they refused to participate in the Council of Elders, the organizers would have ulterior motives and put forward some proposals that were extremely unfavorable to them. Once passed, they would die without knowing how.
As for the safety of the elders, there is no need to worry. Not only can the organizer not harm them, but they must also try their best to protect them.
If something unexpected happens to them during the Council of Elders, or if there is evidence that the organizer did it, it will not be a matter of discrediting them, but they will be attacked by a group.
This is a unique custom developed by the Crocodile people over hundreds of years.
In just a few days, Losander became very lively. Countless top figures from the Crocodile tribe came by boat, and the gathering speed was beyond imagination.
It's not out of concern for Losander, it's purely out of despair that the water flow has been reduced by 70 to 80%. Now it's as quiet as a lady, swimming upstream, very smoothly, and naturally much faster.
In the past, if you wanted to walk through it, you had to be careful and take huge risks. There might be a big wave coming at any time and dragging you into the water to feed the fish.
The changes in Swamp of Despair can only be said to have pros and cons, depending on which angle you look at it.
"Clan Chief Weber, what is the purpose of convening this council of elders? Isn't he prepared to mediate?"
"I admit that Chief Weber's prestige has been increasing day by day in recent years, but if he wants to mediate, I'm afraid he can't do it. After all, this is not a man-made disaster, but a natural disaster. You are not fighting for territory, but for the survival of the tribe. Unless they can
Produce enough food for all the tribes, otherwise it is just a daydream. From what I have observed in the past few days, they are living a tight life, and I am afraid there is no extra food to support us."
"But if this chaos continues, there is no solution. No matter how fierce the fighting is, the number of fish in the water will not increase. We fight for half a day. In the end, it is not that the catch has increased, but that the population has decreased, and we can barely maintain enough food.
Belly, as you just said, the fight between us is not to fight for territory, but for the sake of food for the tribe. There are many ways to solve the problem, why should we choose the wrong one?"
"What you say makes sense and sounds good, but the question is, where can we get excess food? If there is no more food, it is useless to talk about it, and we will still fight when we need to fight."
"There isn't that much food in the Swamp of Despair, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything outside the Swamp of Despair. If you ask me, instead of working hard at home, it's better to just go out and grab it. I heard that the plains of Asia Minor are very rich, and those nobles and nobles are all lying on the food.
Go to bed and grab a few counties and cities, which will be enough for us to survive for several years."
"Speaking of simplicity, tell me first, which direction is the plain of Asia Minor? How are you going to get there? Just with two legs? By the time you get there, you may have starved to death halfway. And the plain is dominated by war horses.
The warriors of our tribe are not enough to be killed by one of their cavalry squads. To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the natural dangers of our Despair Swamp, our crocodile tribe would have become part of their tribe long ago. If we want to rob others, we must first weigh our own weight.
That’s it.”
"Don't let others gain prestige here and destroy your own ambition. Are you a member of our crocodile clan?"
"I'm just discussing the matter. What does it have to do with whether I'm a member of the crocodile clan? If you don't believe it, you can take someone to try it. I'm just waiting to see how miserable your death will be."
"Don't say a few words. We are working together to find a better way out for our people. If we can't find a better way out for our people, we can't do it on the plains of Asia Minor. What about the Flower Language Plateau? I heard that there is enough food to make wine, and there is an alliance with Byron.
The division is so severe that even if it is invaded, it will be difficult for other territories to send reinforcements, and the Black family has never been famous for its military."
"It's true that they are not famous for their military, but they have natural dangers just like us. Do you think those continuous mountains are so easy to climb? It's the same problem. Our army has starved to death before it reaches the ground.
"
"It's also possible that in the border city, the Kingsley family has made new moves there, creating a mess there. The interests of many ethnic groups and tribes there have been harmed, and we must find ways to stop it."
The elders gathered together could not help but talk a lot, speculating on the reason why Weber convened the Elders Council at this time.
After thinking about it, what deserves attention is the food crisis involving the entire Swamp of Despair.
Being able to become an elder of the Crocodile Clan may not be the most powerful warrior in the village, but he must be the wisest and smartest person. Having been in a high position for a long time, his vision is naturally higher than that of ordinary people. Coupled with his rich experience, it is somewhat difficult for him to do so.
They noticed something unusual about this change in heaven and earth, and they would be lying if they said they were not in a hurry.
If it were not for the Council of Elders initiated by Losander this time, it would not be long before some of them could no longer hold their nerve and initiate a Council of Elders to find a way to overcome this crisis.
After thinking about it, all I could think of was invading other territories to find food.
But the Crocodile Tribe is really not good at doing this. Not to mention the combat effectiveness of their soldiers, not to mention the scattered tribes, the army rations alone are enough to give them a headache.
Fish caught in the water account for more than half of their food. They can't go to war with a bunch of fish, right?
The means of transportation that they most relied on were useless once they left the Swamp of Despair. Not only would they be inferior to humans in horse combat, but they would also be inferior to humans in foot combat. They would only deliver food and be beaten when they went out.
It is true that these elders are smart people, but they also have their own limitations. They never thought that the situation in the Swamp of Despair was caused by man-made things.
When Brann, the chief of military staff from the Eternal Night Legion, repeated what Weber had said in front of hundreds of Crocodile clan elders, the entire council fell into silence.
