"...I don't care about the agreement you are talking about. I only care about one thing. Our friend Chief Yarel will not lose his position as chief!!"
"If he loses his original status, then as a friend and ally, we, the Hosea Federation, will definitely seek justice for him!!"
The last person to issue a cold threat was Mistress Penile, who was sitting across from Allen. When she said these words, the scene suddenly became deserted, and the faint smell of gunpowder rose again.
"First of all, the Snowmi tribe is a member of our Mansha Alliance. If any external force dares to attack them, it means a provocation to our alliance. As a member of the alliance, all the tribal leaders and elders here will never tolerate it. Such provocative behavior will be dealt with resolutely at any cost!!"
Facing the power of the demigods, the faces of other strong men have changed more or less, but Allen, who has a dark face, can now bear it calmly. Although there is some pressure, it is within the tolerable range.
"Chief Allen, what you said is serious. The Hogia Federation has been working hard to join the Mansha Alliance over the years. Most members of the alliance have also recognized their existence. Maybe in the next ten years When they meet in Parliament, they can join the alliance and become a member!!”
Philemon came out to smooth things over and smiled warmly at Allen.
"Let's wait until they join the alliance. As long as they don't join the alliance for a day, our northern tribes will not recognize their existence for a day!!"
After a simple treatment, Maggot Eyes regained some of his strength. He leaned back on the chair and expressed his attitude softly.
Although he was depressed and decadent in his heart, thinking that it would be difficult to regain his homeland after recognizing the reality, when facing the drow, Maggot Eyes would not back down due to hatred and other reasons, even if there was no support from others.
"But your current behavior of meddling in the affairs of other tribes also violates the alliance's charter. As the person in charge of the Natural Church in the north, I will raise objections to the Alliance Council on behalf of the church and hold you accountable!!"
After all, Philemon was also the chief priest of the Church of Nature. Seeing that the situation was about to develop in a direction that was not conducive to negotiations, he immediately jumped out to express his attitude.
"At the same time, there is no precedent for the Snowmi clan to abolish Chief Ariel. Naturally, our church will not recognize any Snowmi leader except Chief Ariel!!"
There is no doubt about the influence of the Church of Nature. Now Philemon actually took the initiative to express his attitude. The faces of the powerful wilderness men in front of him had different expressions and they were all lost in thought.
"Priest Philemon, you have crossed the line..."
Allen raised his eyes and glanced at Philemon.
"Crossing the border? As the northern chief priest of the church, my first purpose is to maintain the stability of the northern border. Any issues that may cause war are my responsibilities!!"
Philemon felt a strange pressure, which made his heart sink, but he must not let go at this time, otherwise other tribe representatives might see another trouble.
"Furthermore, I am also at the request of Chief Yarel to seek justice for him!!!"
“Thank you Priest Philemon!!”
Ariel responded in time, bowing slightly and saluting, with full gestures.
Allen was speechless, retracting his eyes and looking at Penile.
"Chief Allen, our request is not excessive. We just hope that Chief Ariel can continue his previous rule, and at the same time, everyone recognizes the contract signed between our two tribes."
Pernilai felt Allen's gaze, and her slender fingers caressed her chin.
"Whether we can continue to rule the Snowmi tribe depends on the attitude of Elder Tim and others. We can't make decisions for them, otherwise we will be sued by Chief Priest Philemon to the Alliance Council to find our mistakes!!"
…………
The topic continued to revolve around Ariel and his tribal power. Because the drow took the initiative to negotiate, at least Allen's attitude was still tough. But Allen was observing secretly while negotiating. In fact, the expressions of Fendi and Jerran were more or less hesitant. Even Maggot Eye, the Jackal leader who should have insisted the most, Allen always felt that the other party's expressions Something was wrong, as if he had experienced a huge blow.
The Church of Nature, the Federation of Drow...all kinds of concerns and worries emerged in Legend's mind. In fact, even Allen himself was wary of the alliance between Drow and the Church of Nature.
It's just that as a party involved and with great ambitions in his heart, Allen knew that every time he gave in, he would probably have to pay a greater price for it in the future, so the gestures he made in this negotiation were all very serious. tough.
Of course, this is more or less a side effect caused by the strength and mentality of becoming a demigod.
Fortunately, Mistress Pernilai opposite seemed to be trying to show her kindness. At least in Allen's opinion, the other party did make some concessions. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any slight confusion in the eyes of the mistresses next to her. A look of dissatisfaction.
"... Chief Yarel's right to rule cannot be changed. This is the unchanging bottom line between Chief Yarel and us. At the same time, the covenant he signed with us must also be implemented!!"
"...We recognize Chief Yarel's contribution over the years and are willing to continue to live under his leadership. However, the power in the clan must be divided, and the chief can no longer speak out!!"
"...The institutional structure of the three-tribe joint community has been completed. Even if Chief Ariel returns to the tribe, he has no right to announce that the Snowmi tribe will withdraw from the union..."
The negotiations were conducted in an orderly manner while testing each other's bottom lines and making concessions to each other. Mistress Penile changed the drow's previous plan and lowered their demands. Allen also knew that he wanted to really overthrow Ariel. Chieftainship was not feasible.
"I hope you all can live together in peace in the future, and may the grace of nature bless the North forever!!"
Philemon was relieved. At least he had gained something this time. Ariel could continue to lead the Snowmi clan, and then the Natural Church could re-establish a church in the DC area of Nasir Fortress to preach.
At the same time, the contract signed between Drow and Ariel also reduced the number of members who resisted Drow joining the alliance. In the next few years, if the Church of Nature and Drow work hard to win over several tribes, they will probably be able to join the Mangan Alliance. The conditions of the Sasha Alliance.
By that time, the drow will have truly established a foothold in the wilderness and will no longer worry about being attacked from both sides and becoming a sandwich cookie between the two major forces.
"snort!!"
Maggot Eyes must be dissatisfied. His territory was attacked for no reason, and hundreds of elite members of the clan died. His attitude towards Ariel was also extremely cold, and he no longer had the closeness he once had.
Ewinnie's face was solemn. As the person in charge of the Oak Holy See in Nasir Fortress, although Allen, Maggot Eyes and others still respected her, in fact, she did not hold much weight in the negotiations. She said some of her own No one really cares about opinions.
Now that the tentacles of the Church of Nature have once again reached the front line of the Cator Mountains, this is somewhat of a hidden danger for the Oak camp.
As one of the parties involved, Tim felt relieved at this time. Ariel could return to the tribe. Although he lost most of his power, it was still better than having nothing at all.
"I hope this won't happen again in the future, otherwise the agreement I reached with the Natural Church will no longer exist!!"
Allen was in a good mood. Whether it was the establishment of the United Community or the antagonism between Maggot Eyes and Ariel, it was a great gain for Allen.
Not to mention breaking through oneself in battle and successfully forming a vortex of anger, which means that it is only a matter of time before one becomes a demigod.
"Giggle, for the sake of you, Chief Allen, I will also restrain the drow and try not to cause any friction with you three clans."
"However, in future business dealings, I hope that you, Chief Allen, will not deliberately make things difficult!!"
Pernilai smiled faintly, raised the drink beside her to mention to Allen, and then drank it down in one gulp.
Lillian, Deborah and Siya, the three matrons who accompanied Pernilai to negotiate and demonstrate, could not hide their dissatisfaction. What they gained from the negotiations could only be regarded as the guarantee of the previous plan, and more should have been The benefits that could be obtained were all given up as Pernilai stopped negotiating early.
Deborah's eyes were shining and she was thoughtful. As the matron who paid the most attention to Allen and the drow who was relatively more familiar with Allen's strength, she could vaguely feel the slight change in Allen's momentum and spirit. The changes, coupled with the fact that Pernilai was extremely polite to him, seemed to treat him as an equal existence, Deborah had an immature guess in her mind.
"I, Alan Witt, have never violated a contract first. You must understand this!! As long as you abide by your promise, I will not violate the contract."
Allen has gained enough from this sudden incident. In the long years to come, he will need to digest the existing benefits and wrap up his multi-year layout. In the short term, he really doesn't need to expand more territory, so as long as the drow don't come to cause trouble, he is happy to continue to develop in an insignificant way.
Representatives of other ethnic groups also understand that the current results are already the best for the Northern Territory. Who makes them have a big gap in the quality of strong men unless all the strong men from the six ethnic groups in the Northern Territory gather together? , or they can still remain undefeated, otherwise the gap in strength between them at this moment is still very obvious.
Anyway, everyone did not suffer any losses in this war. That is to say, the Drow's intervention in Nasir Fortress through Ariel may have a great impact on the defense of the northern border. However, there are people who are more worried about this matter than them. With these two unlucky guys in front, everyone felt relatively at ease.
The one who suffered the biggest loss was probably Ariel, the leader of the trolls. Unluckily enough, he was captured alive by the drow, and his tribe's rights and interests were also greatly damaged. Maggot Eyes is considered implicated. Their tribe shares the same city territory with the Snowmi clan. If the drow really want to extend their tentacles, the Crow's Claw gnoll clan will be the first to bear the brunt.
Fortunately, Allen and the others had developed this joint community mechanism in advance, which could effectively deal with the invisible invasion of the drow. Whether it was military defense or preventing spy infiltration, there were ways to prevent the drow from intervening. The rest were the three tribes. I have been secretly competing with the drow for a long time.
The drow didn't have many people, and they were all arrogant beings. Until now, the strong men of the wilderness had a bad impression of them. They didn't stay after talking about the matter and went straight back home.
"We will return the equipment you commonly use to you, but Deborah and the others will definitely not return the items in your dimensional bag to you. I left some for you in the dimensional bag that you may need. It will all depend on your own efforts from now on.”
"I hope you can regain the power that belongs to you. When the time comes, I will give you corresponding rewards based on your abilities and contributions!!"
Before leaving, Pernilai called Ariel aside, threw him a familiar dimensional equipment and warned him.
“Even if it’s for myself, I will work hard!!”
Ariel poured his spiritual power into the dimensional bag, counted the contents inside, and when he raised his head to face Pernilai, he felt a little more grateful.
When he was captured, Ariel was stripped naked by Deborah and the others, and all valuable things and equipment became the trophies of the other party. Even if Ariel later surrendered to the drow, no one would take out these equipment and return them to him. A legendary strongman without suitable equipment would lose most of his combat effectiveness. At this time, Ariel may not even be able to fight. Pass the legendary mid-level goblin Cole.
Now that the tailor-made equipment is back in his hands, judging from Zhuoer's character, Pernilai must have spent some time and paid a high price to get these things.
From this point of view alone, Pernilai's methods and ambition to win people's hearts are better than other matrons.
"Then let's leave. If there is a problem that we really can't handle, send someone to send the news to Bonn City. I will send someone to assist you as appropriate!!"
It is rare to develop a valuable chess piece, and Penile does not want him to die early. At least until the cost is recovered to achieve their goals, Ariel still deserves preferential treatment.
"OK."
Ariel now has no choice but to retreat. When he chose to come with the drow to negotiate, his reputation in the tribe was no longer what it was before. If he still wants to enjoy the power of the leader and settle the future development plan for his family in the remaining decades of his life, then he can only hold on to the two thighs of Drow and the Natural Church.
Ariel himself may not have thought that when he fought repeatedly between the Church of Nature and the Oak Church, he would now suffer retribution and return to the embrace of the Church of Nature. If I had known it would be like this, maybe I should not have turned against the Church of Nature in the first place, which would have been the right choice.
Watching the legendary figure of the drow flying toward the northern horizon, in the direction of their team, Ariel sensed someone approaching with his keen sense before he could even look away.
"Chief, I'm sorry."
Tim came over with an apology on his face.
"Hmph, you're fine, what's there to be sorry for!!"
Ariel looked cold and answered calmly.
"For the benefit of the tribe, I must make a choice..."
Tim tried to justify his actions.
"I know……"
Maggot Eyes and Fendi were without Drow at this time, and their attitude towards Ariel was clear at a glance. The disgust and hostility revealed in his pupils fell in Ariel's eyes, but he pretended not to see it, and just had a cold face. After nodding with Allen and Philemon, he left the city and headed for his tribe's territory.
"Thank you for coming, everyone for your hard work..."
"Fighting against the drow is a matter for all of us. What's there to thank you for..."
Allen didn't have much emotion towards Ariel. After the other party left, he also enthusiastically expressed his gratitude to Fendi, Yug and others. They spent a lot of time on the city wall, and soon everyone also They dispersed one after another.
