Seven days later, the Panshi sent the eleven elders of the Crocodile Tribe out of the Death Aqueduct intact. During this period, Sean and the others did not make any small moves.
It has nothing to do with whether your morals are high or not. Pure interests are not tempting.
If we capture them all, we can make the Crocodile tribesmen bow their heads. They will definitely not show any mercy.
Judging from the current situation, their actions do not have much meaning other than angering the Crocodile tribe and making them completely turn against themselves.
The same banquet, but this time it is not a welcome, but a farewell.
Sean stood up and said: "After drinking this glass of wine, I will say goodbye to you elders. Before that, I have a few words to say. We have shown our sincerity. I dare not say anything else. I can
I promise you, as long as you are willing to join Yong Ye, your people will have the same life as the Andis people. At that time, we will elect elders from the Andis people and form a new group with you.
Parliament, participates in listening to government affairs and has legislative power."
Sean's eyes swept across the eleven crocodile clan elders, and finally landed on Weber, the control-level warlock Nidia and the champion knight Klein. This small team was vaguely headed by these three people.
After spending seven days together day and night, although they did not express their opinions directly, Sean could still feel their true inner thoughts to some extent from their subtle expressions and movements.
Among them, Nidia is the closest to the leader of the Yongye Army. This 135-year-old birthday girl comes from a family of warlocks. The Ancient Andis Empire, which is far away to others, is not a big deal to her.
distant.
Her maternal grandmother, a control-level warlock who lived for two centuries before dying, was a serious survivor of the Ancient Andis Empire. She probably heard stories about the Ancient Andis Empire when she was a child.
What other people see as legend and history is memory to her.
Therefore, I have a strong sense of identity with Sean's concept that the Andis and the Crocodile tribe are one family.
He was even more interested in the history of the Ancient Andis Empire. For this reason, when passing by the archaeological site, Sean specially sent someone to bring Lan Xili over to discuss this knowledge with the old lady.
Sean also had a natural affection for this kind-hearted old lady. Perhaps he saw the reflection of his beloved grandmother in her.
He doesn't talk much, but he lacks the light of wisdom and looks at things very detachedly. In some aspects, even Sean feels embarrassed. This should be the benefit of living long enough.
Among these eleven Crocodile Clan elders, her status is very transcendent, not only because of her great strength, but also because most of them are her grandchildren, and her influence is far greater than what she appears.
The same thing comes from living longer.
Sean had the most communication with her.
However, this old lady is also the most cunning one. She only showed a hint of kindness from beginning to end and did not give any more expressions. It is difficult to find out what she really thinks.
Contrary to Nydia's goodwill, Champion Knight Klein is hostile and resistant. The stronger the Eternal Night Army leader shows, the stronger this hostility becomes.
This should be related to the fact that he is in the prime of life and his own tribe is one of the largest in number among the crocodile tribe.
The other party is probably thinking of taking advantage of the chaos in the Swamp of Despair to flex its muscles and expand the influence of its own tribe. Now the leader of the Yongye Army has stepped in. It's damn good that he is willing to accept it.
This person is afraid that he will become the biggest obstacle to Yong Ye's military leader's policy towards the Crocodile tribe, but he cannot be touched at this time.
Once he is moved, the efforts made by Yongye Army to take the lead will be in vain.
Then there is Weber, among the eleven, he is the deepest, the most serious and careful in observing the situation of the Yong Ye army leader.
When he greeted him seven days ago, Sean called out his name, which was somewhat of a trick to deceive him. Because he was worried about Bran's safety, Sean once used the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard to secretly embed himself in Losander and fight him.
We met face to face and overheard his name.
It's impossible to say how well we really know him.
This person's influence among the elders is also not weak.
After a short deliberation, Sean finally said: "Whether it is a friend or an enemy, the choice is not in our hands, but in the hands of the elders. No matter which choice you make in the end, please choose carefully. I look forward to it even more."
The next time we meet, it will be to drink and chat with the elders, not to fight with swords. No matter what happens in the future, please drink this cup and say goodbye."
"Thank you Lord for your hospitality. I hope you will have the opportunity to visit Losander." Just like when he came, Webber was also the first to stand up and jump off the Rock.
Standing below and looking up at the Rock again, I felt a different feeling. The heavy and depressing feeling always lingered.
Because until now, they haven't figured out a way to compete with it other than using human lives.
The silver-haired Nitya walked last, leaving behind a meaningful word, "Young man, listen to my mother-in-law's advice, keep a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future, and don't do anything impossible."
Without waiting for Sean's answer, he turned over. His body was not much worse than that of a champion knight.
No wonder many people are desperately trying to climb to the top of their personal martial arts, just for the sake of getting stronger and stronger, it is worth it.
Sean thought carefully about Nitya's words, but he couldn't figure it out. Now the leader of the Evernight Army has done everything he can, and the only thing left is to wait.
As Sean just said, whether it is friend or foe, the choice is not in the hands of the leader of the Yongye Army, but in the hands of the Crocodile Tribe people.
After the eleven crocodile clan elders successfully returned to Losander, they received a warm welcome like a hero.
However, most of these heroes were preoccupied and immediately convened a council of elders.
This time it was an internal meeting, and Brann, the envoy of the Eternal Night Army, was blocked from outside.
The eleven elders who had gone to the Yongye Army had vaguely become the center of the Elders Council. All eyes were on them, anxiously waiting for their speeches.
Who knows that they are the ones who have first-hand information now? When they saw it off, they had already seen the Panshi with their own eyes, and the tip of the iceberg revealed by the leader of the Yongye Army made them secretly frightened.
When did the Andis become so powerful? How come they didn't hear the slightest bit of news?
The lack of news has caused most elders’ understanding of the Andis people in the Andis Mountains to remain in the structure of three caves and eight villages thirty years ago. Even in recent decades, the Andis people have always been plundered.
Little is known about the situation of slavery, let alone the rapid rise of the Yongye Army Leader.
This makes some crocodile clan elders with lofty ambitions scratch their livers and lungs in distress. If they had known the current situation, even if they took some risks, they would still have squeezed out their scalps and joined the visiting group. How could they be cheaper than those in their 70s and 80s?
Old guy?
Not many people in this world knew earlier that their previous hesitations and calculations destined them to be marginalized in this Council of Elders.
Was it a coincidence that Weber was very determined to ask to join? Or had he already seen the current situation?
If it's the latter, this person's power and scheming are not terrible.
After a short discussion among the group of eleven, the kind-hearted old lady Nidia said: "Elder Weber, you are the initiator of this council, and you are responsible for your duties. It is up to you to explain the situation to everyone, and speak truthfully so that everyone can understand."
Understand the situation, after all, this is something that is really relevant to every one of us Crocodile Tribe people, and they have the right to know."
"Then I will tell you what I saw. If there are any omissions or mistakes, the elders can interrupt at any time." Weber pondered for a moment and said.
The eleven elders of the Yongye Army who went to the Yongye Army Leader this time are generally older. After all, when making decisions, they had a very limited understanding of the Yongye Army Leader, and they all held the hope that there would be no return.
.
After all, older people have more open-minded ideas. There is always a way that even if you die now, it won't be a big loss, but you can still leave your name in the history of the Crocodile tribe.
But their energy is obviously not that strong, and they are powerless in some things. After all, they do not have the ability to control the warlock Nidia to delay the aging of the body, nor do they have the physical fitness like the monster of the champion knight Klein.
Weber, who is nearly fifty years old, is actually the youngest and most powerful among them. Champion Knight Klein wants to stand out, but words have never been what he is good at. It is better for him to speak in front of hundreds of pairs of eyes than to have him face hundreds of fully armed men.
The pressure is a hundred times greater than the enemy's. In this situation, you are powerless.
Weber looked around and said in a calm tone: "I want to tell you some unfortunate news. After we confirmed, the news from the Yongye Army Leader is true. This is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. The past situation of the Despair Swamp will be gone.
There will be no return. The weather changes will not slow down as time goes by, but will become more severe. Before long, more than 80% of the water in the Swamp of Despair will become a thing of the past forever."
The bombshell that Brann dropped half a month ago completely detonated at this moment, and the entire Council of Elders exploded, seeming to overthrow the castle.
"Impossible, this is not true. You tell us, this is not true. How can manpower do this? Our Despair Swamp is not a small pond. It can be changed by saying it changes? You must be wrong."
"Let's face it, it's not like you haven't seen the situation of the mother river. Who has been able to go upstream and see the source of the mother river before? All the evidence has been before us, but we can't believe it. What's more,
, these eleven elders are all jointly recommended by you, the most virtuous and wise among us, and their joint judgment will not be wrong. Don’t you trust others, don’t you trust the ancestors of Nitya?
"
"Ancestor Nidia, please tell me, is what Elder Weber said true?"
"Yes, ancestor Nitya, among us, you are the wisest and the most knowledgeable. Say something!"
"What do you want me to say? All the evidence has been placed in front of you, but you are unwilling to open your eyes and see it. Do you want to continue to deceive yourself and others? That will only lead your people to the abyss of eternal destruction. As Elder Weber said,
It is the result of the joint determination of our eleven elders.”
Being questioned by many people, there was no other way. Nitya, who was originally reluctant to come forward, said in a rare stern tone.
The heated scene suddenly cooled down a lot.
In fact, when they saw the source of the Danube River with their own eyes, they already felt that something was wrong, and they were vaguely convinced, but they were just holding on to the last bit of luck.
Now that the last layer of window paper has been punctured, many people are close to collapse and don't know where the Crocodile tribe will go.
Because what they are facing now is not only a huge change in the world, but also foreigners who are eyeing this place.
I have to say that Sean is pretty good at judging people. This unassuming old lady has indeed greater influence among the Crocodile tribe than imagined.
Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down again, Nidia winked at Weber and sat back down again.
Weber continued with a tacit understanding: "The cruel reality has been placed in front of us. Blindly escaping is not the right solution. If we work together, there is still a glimmer of hope. If we continue to fight in a scattered nest like before, we
The final fate will be that our homeland will be invaded and our people will be enslaved..."
"Elder Weber is a bit alarmist. I admit that the Andis man who claims to be the leader of the Eternal Night Army does have some strength, but if he wants to eat us in one bite, he would be looking down on us, and he is not afraid of breaking his teeth."
An elder of the Crocodile Tribe interrupted Weber's speech with a sneer, but it was hard to say whether it was aimed at the leader of the Yongye Army or an insinuation directed at Weber.
After all, judging from the current situation, once the Crocodile tribe unites, it is very likely that these eleven elders will be the core. This is not what other elders want to see, especially those who have competition and feud with their tribe.
.
"Alarmist?" Weber's face was covered with a thick chill. "The leader of the Evernight Army is not the only one who peeks into the Swamp of Despair. I got the exact news. If it weren't for the Kingsley family's army being entangled by the rebels in the territory.
, their army has already arrived at our door. Why do you think the border towns have become so chaotic recently? This is the Kingsley family preparing for a large-scale invasion. You have to wait until the other party comes to your door to recognize it.
Is it realistic?”
Weber's news plunged the Council of Elders into chaos once again.
It's not that these elders are stupid and can't even see this clearly, but that all the news comes so fast that they don't have time to digest it, let alone think in this direction.
After Weber's suggestion, I immediately understood what was going on.
This time no one questioned the accuracy of Weber's message.
Compared to the new force of the Yongye Army, the Crocodile tribe has been entangled with the Kingsley family for a long time. Not only do they know their strength very well, but they are also very clear about their ambitions.
If it weren't for the unique geographical environment of the Swamp of Despair, they would have entered it long ago.
Their geographical advantage is about to disappear, and it is inevitable that the other party will invade on a large scale.
Unlike the leader of the Yongye Army, the relationship between the Crocodile tribe and the Kingsley family is on the same level.
Less than half of the Crocodile Tribe's missing people are swallowed up by the swamp every year, while the other half are kidnapped and sold to the Carter Army as mining slaves, where they never see the light of day for the rest of their lives.
In the past, the Kingsley family could also purchase large-scale Andis people from the Manyu military leader as mining slaves.
With the rise of the Yongye Army led by Sean, which blocked the main access to the mountain, the Manyu Army fell into civil strife, and Kingsley lost its largest source of mining slaves.
The Carter military leaders had already developed the habit of using mining slaves as consumables. By the time they discovered that something was wrong and corrected the situation, there was already a serious labor gap.
