The noise was accompanied by chaos. Aksu, the leader of the Lizard Tribe, stood on a high place and looked at the battle. Everything he looked at was chaos. The cold wind howling at night was making wanton noise around him, and Aksu's heart was as cold as his body.
Seran.
Forty years ago... Aksu, who was in his prime, succeeded the clan leader. Although he was quite capable, his reputation within the Lizard Clan was not high because he was not domineering enough.
Aquatic orcs are also orcs. Orcs respect strength. When they have a dispute with others, humans will speak with their mouths, while orcs speak with their fists. Whoever has a stronger fist will be justified. The weak must either be obedient or get out. This is
The basic principles followed by orcs.
Aksu often violates this rule.
The island in the middle of the lake and the surrounding waters are only so large. As the population increased, a territorial dispute broke out between the Lizard Tribe and the Amphibious Murlocs. Aksu, the leader of the tribe, led his people to engage in a fierce battle with the Amphibious Murlocs. The Amphibious Murlocs were defeated, and the entire Lizard Tribe was defeated.
Celebrate because if you win, you can own new land.
However, as the clan leader, Aksu poured cold water on them.
He said: Since the Lizard Tribe has encroached on the Murloc Tribe’s activity space due to its increased activity range, the Lizard Tribe is willing to return the occupied land, and the Murloc Tribe, as the defeated party, is willing to compensate the Lizard Tribe for a considerable amount of food and supplies. Are both parties willing to form an alliance?
What the hell is an alliance? What a big joke!!
The orcs respect the strong, and the strong should eat delicious food, sleep with beautiful women, and have fertile land. Why should they return the things they robbed with their own abilities to the weak? Survival of the fittest is the key to natural selection.
The iron law of nature is that everything belonging to the weak can be robbed by the strong. As long as the strong party wants to rob it, everything belonging to the weak can be owned by the strong. The weak should die, let alone any relationship of equality, which will only make people laugh.
Why can the weak murloc tribe form an alliance with the powerful lizard tribe, let alone the lizard tribe sending troops to assist the murloc tribe when they are invaded by other races? Why should the powerful lizard tribe save the amphibious murlocs that should be eliminated?
If only they had died!
As for the compensation materials provided by the amphibian murlocs, they only alleviated the complaints of some members of the tribe, while others followed the tribe's tradition and made a request for a duel to Aksu.
——If you win, you can become the new clan leader! You can kick this unpleasant garbage clan leader out of his position!
However, Aksu is Aksu. Although he is usually inconspicuous, he can always win in duels.
Strength is one of the important factors for Aksu to become the leader of the clan.
Since then, Aksu's behavior has been increasingly criticized by his tribe.
He has become more and more strict with his tribe members, but he is soft to the outside world. He and other aquatic tribes can't fight without fighting. Although they have won the inevitable battles, the benefits obtained after the victory have always been unsatisfactory.
Only Aksu himself has a clear calculation. The population of their lizard people is growing, while other aquatic races are attacking each other every three days, and their overall strength has not increased.
Time passed little by little amid Aksu's chaotic curses. Seven or eight years later, the population of the Lizard Tribe finally reached the limit that the existing land could tolerate.
Aksu immediately teamed up with the amphibious fishmen to break through the territory of the snake people, annexed their land, and expelled their people.
Since Aksu came to power, the Lizard Tribe has never acquired so much land and supplies at once, but Aksu is still scolded.
Because when Aksu banished the snake people, he gave them a certain amount of food (this was a waste), a certain amount of supplies (a waste of food and supplies), and even accepted some snake people who were willing to submit (accepting the weak and an eyesore?), and strictly ordered the lizard people to
They must not be bullied, they must be treated equally (ridiculous!), and he even shared the war proceeds equally with the amphibious murlocs (the lizardmen are the main force, why should they share the spoils equally with the amphibious murlocs who are lagging behind).
Many tribesmen thought he was fatuous, so they asked for another duel. Aksu, who was in his prime, defeated them one by one again.
Although Aksu's reputation is getting worse, he has handled all the contradictions in the development of the lizard people quite delicately. It cannot be said to be good or bad. Life is indeed getting better year by year, so there are not many people.
Gather together to launch a "coup".
What's more, new problems have arisen in the development of the lizard tribe.
As the lizard people occupied the territory of the snake people, conflicts between the lizard people and other aquatic races suddenly became numerous.
In the small circle of Huxin Island, mutual conquests often occur. Today one clan wins and the other clan suffers some losses. Tomorrow the other clan wins and this clan suffers some losses. These are all common things. Like Aksu
It was rare to launch an attack on another ethnic group, occupy its land and everything, and expel its people all at once. The surrounding ethnic groups were particularly nervous about the growing lizard people.
And some races are doubting: The lizard people have taken over such a large territory of the snake people all at once. Do they have the strength to hold it? So with all kinds of insinuations, all kinds of frictions and temptations that seem to be fictitious, Aksu wants to continue his plan.
A cowardly policy, gentle externally, rigorous internally...
...but it didn't work this time.
As the Lizardmen clan has grown in strength, a sense of pride has arisen in the hearts of the simple-minded Lizardmen. Many members of the clan cannot tolerate provocations and insults from foreign races, especially young people who have just grown up.
These young people, whose average age is more than ten years old, have not experienced the difficult days in the past. They grew up during the period when the Lizard Tribe continued to grow, and their love and pride for their tribe are heavier than ordinary people. The restraining orders of the patriarch Aksu can only affect
It is impossible to restrain the strong men in the clan who are over twenty-five years old, but the stupid young people in their late teens and early twenties.
They constantly fight and conflict with foreigners, winning and losing. When they win, the adults in the family will be happy for them and encourage and motivate them. When they lose, the adults in the family will be unhappy and will protect their children. They are older.
My father's generation was restricted by the patriarch Aksu not to participate in external conflicts, and this kind of small conflict between a dozen people was not allowed. My father's generation instigated the slightly older brothers in the family to vent their anger on the younger brothers.
There are more and more conflicts and armed fights with surrounding foreign races, and those who are more capable in fighting among the younger generation are more popular. The most shining star among them is McKenden - McKenden, the son of Aksu!
McKenden was stronger than any young man, could fight harder than any young man, and was braver than anyone in external conflicts.
The tribesmen all insulted Aksu behind his back, but Aksu didn't take it seriously. However, McKenden couldn't do it. McKenden understood his father's power better than anyone else, and respected Aksu more than anyone else. He couldn't stand the insults to his father by his tribe.
Make money for Aksu in your own way!
The slightly famous McKenden has been respected by most young people, but this is not enough. The middle-aged people who are the backbone of the Lizard tribe still regard him as a child. Fortunately, the opportunity has come to prove that he has grown up.
——The amphibian fishman has an idea.
The Lizardmen planned an attack on the Snakemen, occupied the territory of the Snakemen, and received great benefits. Although the Amphibian Murlocs assisted and received certain rewards after the war, they were much worse than what the Lizardmen received.
The amphibious fishmen found Aksu and wanted to do what the lizardmen had done. The amphibious fishmen wanted to attack the buffalo tribe, which had a small tribe but owned a river beach.
Aksu frowned and told the amphibious fishman that the buffalo tribe was individually powerful, and there was a reason why they could occupy a river beach with only a small tribe.
However, the amphibian fishman is obsessed with money and yells at Aksu to argue with the alliance treaty, saying that the lizard tribe will turn their backs and disown each other after taking advantage of it...
The helpless Aksu could only agree to the amphibious fishmen's request to send troops, but he also put forward conditions: when the lizardmen attacked the snake tribe, the lizardmen were the main force, and the amphibious fishmen only assisted from the side; now the amphibious fishmen want to fight the buffalo tribe, and the amphibious fishmen
Humans can be the main force, but the lizard tribe cannot be the main force, they can only assist from the side.
The lizard people agreed to send troops, which made the amphibian fish people overjoyed. The simple-minded amphibian fish people didn't think about it at all. In their senses, the combined number of amphibian fish people and lizard people was eight or nine times that of the buffalo people.
The buffalo tribe has been beaten to death, how can they still lose?
Thus, an unexpected battle began in the waters of the lake center island.
