"He is the current leader of our clan - Ariel!!"
Every time he spoke a word, Talibo's body seemed to be at war, and his tone and eyes were full of struggle.
When he heard the name spoken by the other party, Allen was also stunned. He thought that this conversation was because the other party realized that he had targeted the Snowmi tribe as a suspect, so he thought of using the conversation to divert the target. Or maybe he really knows the real murderer and is going to take this opportunity to connect with each other.
However, Allen did not expect that the real murderer Talibo finally revealed was the highest authority of his own tribe. If this conversation was heard by Ariel, then Talibo would probably not even think about it. He would no longer gain a foothold in the Snowmi tribe, because it meant his betrayal of the Snowmi tribe.
Such a strange move by the other party suddenly made Alan feel wary again. His eyes were cold and full of disgust, and he met the other party's eyes.
"I know what it means when I say these words now, but I don't want to cause greater damage to the tribe because of the actions of our chief."
"Rather than having this matter discovered by you, Chief Allen, it would be better for me to confess to you in exchange for your help."
Talibo smiled bitterly, how could he be willing to do such a thing? It is actually the choices and decisions made by Patriarch Yarel in the past few decades that have brought benefits to the tribe and the Chinese people in Talibo. In order to stop the damage in time, Talibo decided to launch a power challenge.
"Help? What kind of help do you want?"
Allen was no longer a young man who could be easily impressed by words. He tilted his head and frowned slightly as he asked.
"I will tell you, Chief Alan, Chief Ariel's action plan in the next period of time. I hope that Chief Alan can formulate a sure-fire revenge plan. At least Chief Ariel will be severely injured, and of course he can kill him on the spot. His words would be even better!!”
"I want to ascend to the position of chief of the Snowmi tribe!!"
After telling his true purpose in front of Allen, Talibo's ambition could no longer be hidden, and his raging fighting spirit suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"..."
No wonder Talibo would negotiate terms with Allen in advance before confessing the real culprit. It turned out that his intention was to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and at the same time reserve a way out for himself, whether he succeeded in seizing power or failed.
"Why should I believe you?"
Talibo's reason was beyond Allen's expectation, but it made Allen have to believe it. It was a pity that before, he only looked at trivial information about the Snowmi tribe, but did not bother to take a closer look at the Snowmi tribe. Nomi's true current situation, perhaps Allen at this time can know how real Talibo wants to seize power.
"It's very trivial, Chief Allen, you should know it, so I'll tell you something you don't know. It's up to you, Chief Allen, to judge whether Ariel has become stupid!!"
Talibo gritted his teeth, and finally felt cruel in his heart, and decided to tell more inside stories in order to impress Allen. Now that I have made my choice, there is no need to look forward or backward.
"Since Ariel surrendered to the Natural Church, he followed the church's call and directly formed a regular army of more than 20,000 people. It is still stationed in the military camp north of Bonn City to this day."
"The 20,000 troops eat horse chews, and the food and materials consumed every year are a heavy burden on the tribe. You know, in our tribe's territory, only the Ness River, Canal and the plains along the coast can cultivate food. Just to maintain the consumption of the army, it will cost almost 14% of the harvested food, and the remaining 34% of food can be distributed to the hundreds of thousands of people in the clan."
"However, until now, the Church of Nature has not issued any other tasks. It only asked my tribe to maintain this large army..."
"Due to the enmity with the goblins of Ajnaga, Ariel has always made things difficult for the tribe's caravans in the past few years. Many caravans are no longer willing to pass through our tribe's territory."
"The supplies our clan wants to purchase have been stuck at Namur Fortress. In addition, the border between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Elf Kingdom in the north is still blocked. As a result, the supplies our clan urgently needs can only detour through your Green Field Plain before arriving. We went south to Mansha City and went through a lot of hardships to transport the remaining supplies back."
"Yariel is now devoted to currying favor with the Church of Nature. In order to support the Orc Empire's battle with humans in the south, he also took the initiative to raise a batch of supplies and went south, but completely ignored the interests of my troll tribe..."
It can be seen that Talibo's dissatisfaction with Ariel has been accumulating for a long time, otherwise he would not have confessed to Allen at this time and said more than a dozen dissatisfaction issues in one breath.
Allen combined it with the various scattered intelligence collected by the Ring of Thorns team, such as the rising prices in Bonn City, the flight of people in the clan, and other clues. It can be seen that what the other party said is not unfounded.
As he digested all the contents of Talibo's words, Allen really believed that the other party did have murderous intentions towards Ariel.
However, there is another problem here, and that is Talibo's own strength. According to Allen's intelligence, he is only a mid-level legend. He has been stagnant at this strength for nearly 80 years. Even if the other party deliberately concealed it and quietly promoted to the legendary high-level a few years ago, don't forget that in addition to Ariel, the legendary high-level existence, the Snowmi tribe still has a legendary high-level shaman elder, Talibo thought. It may not be easy to sit in the position of chief.
"Are you sure you can take the chief's position?"
If you have any doubts in your mind, you should naturally raise them to see if the other party has any other back-ups.
"You are worried about our clan's great elder Chakri. You can rest assured. The great elder has long been dissatisfied with Chief Yarel's actions. It's just because he has been promoted to legend for too long. Even if he challenges the chief with his tentacles, Chakri At Elder Li's age, he won't be able to sit in that position for long, and his lifespan will be reached in a hundred years at most."
"When I decided to take action this time, I had already communicated with Elder Chakri. He would take a neutral stance on this matter. As long as your assassination plan does not endanger the interests of our Snowmi family, then he will not Will rescue Ariel."
Talibo heard the implication of Allen's words, and no longer worried about revealing too much, he simply revealed all his preparations, just to win Allen's trust and impress the other party.
"..."
Another fierce negotiation ensued, and Allen was not very prepared for the sudden incident, but this did not prevent him from wisely aware of whether this matter was beneficial to his tribe.
If we can use this to weaken Snowmi, a powerful opponent, or even bring him into the Ring of Thorns team, then the Wild North will be considered a dominant one.
The Church of Nature may not like this situation. After all, the Snowmi tribe and the gnolls of Crow Claw are the two chess pieces they have placed in the north. In the future, they can use this to gradually erode Ajnaga, a vassal of the Oak Church. Tribe etc. But if Talibo succeeds in seizing power, it means that the Snowi tribe, which could have suppressed the Ajinaga tribe, will lose a legendary high-ranking man. Facing the Ajinaga tribe and the gradually stabilizing thorns The ring will inevitably become more disadvantaged.
But this is good news for Allen and his tribe in the north. Because of the war between humans and orcs in the south, the Church of Nature has teamed up with other churches of nature gods and mobilized manpower and material resources from major tribes to the south countless times. .
That is to say, the northern border is also responsible for guarding against the war between the Elf Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom. In addition, the Oak Church and the two descendant goddesses under the crown of Silvanus have united together and are not satisfied with certain measures of the Church of Nature. That was why the Ajinaga tribe, which was friendly to the Oak Church, did not participate too much in the war in the south.
Based on this, Allen and the others hope to maintain their relationship with the Oak Church, the Ranger Church, and the Sprout Church. This means that they have a lot of conflicts with the Natural Church.
"Such an important thing cannot be accomplished by me alone, so I need to join forces with other strong people."
After a long exchange, Allen was indeed moved, but he also knew very well that although he had advanced to the intermediate level of legend, he still had enough understanding to face the existence of high-level legend Yarel.
"No problem, of course I would prefer that the greater your power, the better, the more likely my purpose will be to succeed."
Talibo nodded slowly and replied reasonably.
"After you have discussed it, let's meet again. Then I will tell you more detailed information about Ariel and the timing of his departure."
"Okay, no problem. When will we meet again?"
Allen nodded.
"How about one month later? It should be enough for you to discuss a definite result."
"We will still meet here then."
"good!!"
The two ghostly figures separated into two different directions and left quickly.
After returning to Namur Fortress, Allen first thought about it alone in his residence for a long time. After analyzing all the pros and cons clearly, he found Bilaire again and notified several other tribes to send strong men. Everyone held a meeting again.
"This is the second time a meeting has been held in just two months. Chief Allen, you can't make everyone rush here just because of some trivial matters. Everyone has their own things to do."
When Allen proposed revenge before, the Amansha and Argan tribes were actually not very willing, and when providing various intelligence, their two tribes also sent the least information. Now that Allen has invited him to attend the meeting again, Argan's chief Fendi is very dissatisfied. The chief elder of the tribe went south to Mansha City. As a legendary chief, he is the leader of the tribe. After all, it is still dangerous to leave the tribe rashly.
"Feel sorry."
Allen bowed his head slightly and apologized, and then handed each of the representatives a ledger. This was some kind of mental evidence he obtained after summarizing various intelligence while waiting for the representatives to arrive.
"I already have witnesses who can confirm who was the real culprit who assassinated me last time, so I have called a few of them this time to discuss the next revenge plan."
"Do you really want revenge? The murderer who dared to assassinate you must be Legend. Are you sure you want to cause trouble for Legend? Aren't you afraid that he will turn around and kill your tribe?"
The representative from the Amansha tribe, who was also the leader of the tribe, Jie Lang, asked somewhat unexpectedly.
"I'm very sure, and this plan is also very important to you and our entire Ring of Thorns. I don't think it was an impulsive act this time..."
Allen faced everyone seriously and spoke eloquently: "As expected, my opponent this time is the leader of the Snowmi tribe, Ariel."
"Moreover, we just have a suitable opportunity that can help us complete our revenge on Yarel."
"The Snowmi tribe is currently in a very chaotic internal situation. This account book contains my various judgments on their tribe's living supplies and burden based on the information collected by everyone."
"What's the point of these things? Is it difficult for us to really launch a war of annihilation against Snowmi? As long as we take action, the Natural Church behind those trolls will definitely take action and take the opportunity to make plans against our tribes, and then use this opportunity They interfere in the internal affairs of our respective tribes."
Chief Fundy's eyes were cold, although the final result of Allen's investigation had long been in his psychological expectation. After all, there were only a few people in the North who had the courage and strength to take action against the legend of Allen.
"We don't need to take action against the entire Snowmi tribe, we only need to deal with Ariel, the troll."
Allen was confident, and he believed that what he was going to say next would definitely arouse everyone's interest.
"There has also been a power struggle within their tribe. Talibo, the second elder of the Snomi tribe, invited me to meet a few days ago. He is willing to provide us with Ariel's whereabouts and information about his strength to help We formulate an assassination plan.”
"And the price we need to pay is to support Talibo's rise to power after the assassination incident, and accept him into the Ring of Thorns..."
"This is impossible!!!"
"Is this old guy Talibo crazy??"
Sure enough, a storm broke out in the small conference room. A group of legends could not contain their inner excitement. The pressure of legends enveloped the small space. Fortunately, everyone was a legend. This pressure affected each other. Not too big.
After a long time, Allen began to repeat many of the inside stories that Talibo had told him before. However, this time, because of the support of various intelligence prepared by Allen in advance, he was more confident in speaking than when he faced Talibo before.
Whether there is a problem in a tribe will eventually be revealed through some small things in the tribe that go unnoticed. For example, the current price of food in Bonn City of the Snowmi Tribe is at least twice as high as in cities such as Namur Fortress.
"Are you sure that Talibo's cooperation is credible?"
Everyone was moved by Allen, especially Bilaire, who had always regarded the Snowmi tribe as his biggest opponent, and asked thoughtfully.
"I dare not say that I am 100% sure of the other party's sincerity, but many of the inside stories Talibo told me are consistent with the intelligence collected by all of us. This shows that at least the other party's reason for wanting to betray Yarel is It’s tenable.”
"Regardless of whether he has other conspiracies in the end, I believe that as long as we all be careful, there won't be any big problems."
"If the facts that everyone promised before have not changed, then if each of our tribes dispatches a legend, even the Natural Church does not have the strength to pose a threat to our team in joint operations around the Cattor Mountains. The trap is coming.”
"Even if the plan fails, as long as we don't make a large-scale attack on the Snowmi tribe, the Natural Church will not find any reason to target and suppress us."
Allen was worried that Talibo was deliberately tempting them, but compared to the strength of the Ring of Thorns, Snowmi and Crow Claw's camp really did not have the qualifications to actively provoke the Ring of Thorns.
