In this environment, the Council of Elders of the Crocodile was reconvened.

"We can't drag it out like this anymore, we must break the current situation, otherwise it won't take two years, and our crocodile clan will be wiped out, no, it won't take two years, and in another year and a half, most of our people will starve to death, let alone go to war." ”

"Breaking the current situation, to put it lightly, you haven't seen the situation on the front line, the Kingsley family's equipment advantage is too obvious, the clansmen want to exchange their lives, and they must also rely on geographical advantages, if we don't have geographical advantages, we don't even have a chance to change lives, how can we completely defeat them? Even if we can defeat them? The food crisis will not be alleviated at all. ”

"According to you, we can only close our eyes and wait for death?

"Bah, bastard, surrender to the Kingsley family, you can think of it, you want to be reduced to a mine slave for generations, in that miner's cave where the light of day, like a mouse, survive? ”

"That's right, we will never surrender, we will fight these greedy people to the end. ”

"Cheng, you are tough, you have come up with a solution, even if it is a bloody battle, you must take advantage of the strength of the strength, if you are hungry, you can't even lift your weapon. What kind of bloody battle?"

"Have you forgotten that we are not alone!"

"You mean the Commander of the Eternal Night?"

"That's right, it's the Eternal Night Leader, with our own strength, there is no way to drive away the Kingsley family, the strength of the Eternal Night Leader, many people have seen it with their own eyes, the equipment is not much worse than the Kingsley family, the other party doesn't seem to be short of food, even if we don't send troops, we can fight for the other party to help us with food, we can hold on for a longer time and find other ways out. ”

"You are plotting with the tiger, the Eternal Night Army Leader has never acted on any good intentions, do you really think that the other party will help us for free because of the cliché of the family three hundred years ago? Their wolf ambition to annex us has not changed from beginning to end, and now they are waiting for us to send it to the door themselves!"

"I didn't know that this was a tiger skin, but do we have any other choice? Compared to the Kingsley family, their food appearance is at least a little more elegant, and even if they are eaten, I would rather choose the Eternal Night Leader than the Kingsley family. ”

"You are so diligently touting the leader of the Eternal Night, are you taking advantage of others? Your clan territory is so close to them, and the number of merchant ships coming and going is the largest, there must be an ulterior secret in it. ”

"You are spewing blood, you are responsible for saying such things, you have to talk about evidence, there is no basis for it, why do you say that? I just give a reasonable suggestion. ”

"What are you excited about, are you a thief?"

"I'm not messing around with you, anyway, I've already said the suggestion, if you like to listen to it or not, just wait to be eaten by the Kingsley family and be a slave for generations!"

"Don't be excited, calm down, calm down, everyone is for the sake of the crocodile, we must be in the same boat, in order to get through the current difficulties, if there is a contradiction within us, then there is really no chance at all, in my opinion, contact the Eternal Night Commander, see what help they can provide us, and what requirements they have, if it is reasonable, we can not cooperate, our current situation, it is impossible to get through without cutting a little meat, as long as we get through, let's find a way to get it back." ”

"I think what Elder Roy said is the right solution, and it is not wise to try to negotiate with the Eternal Night Commander to see what conditions the other party offers, and then veto it before it has been tried. ”

"I also agree with Elder Roy's method, isn't that envoy on the other side still in Lobsand?

Everyone's eyes turned to the Great Council of Five.

In the previous offensive and defensive battles with Akmether, the Great Elders of the Five had already proven their worth, and they had achieved a decisive effect not only at critical moments.

When the whole situation was in danger, he took the lead and charged on the front line, winning the respect of everyone.

They may have flaws of one kind or another, but they do fight for the future of the entire crocodile people.

"I think it's workable, you can try it, and there's nothing to lose. Weber was the first to show his attitude.

This leader in the prime of life did not directly express his attitude when he was in the Eternal Night Army, but after returning to the Council of Elders, his attitude was somewhat biased towards the Eternal Night Army.

Before the Kingsley family's army was killed and the Great Council of Elders was formed, he suggested that the Council of Elders adopt a soft and co-optative stance towards the Eternal Night Leader.

It's not that he has a sense of identity with them because he has wandered around the Eternal Night Army, but he is simply not optimistic about the situation of the crocodile, believing that they have no experience in large-scale wars and it is difficult for them to resist the large-scale invasion of the Kingsley family with their own strength.

If the Eternal Night Army Leader is completely offended, then they really have no chance at all, and there is no way to resist the pressure of the two fronts.

On the contrary, the Eternal Night Leader has shown other schemes to their crocodile people from the beginning, but it is a weakness that can be exploited.

It is also worth using this to seek benefits and support for themselves as much as possible, and it is worth paying a certain price for this, only by surviving can there be other possibilities, if the dead race is wiped out, they will no longer have hope.

The opening of trade with the Eternal Night Commander was also proposed by him.

The crocodile people are in the center of a storm that they have not seen in a century, and they can no longer stick to the old ways of doing things, and should adopt a positive attitude, and the trade exchange with the Eternal Night Commander is a good start.

As an example, he was the first to open his tribe in the Château de Lausand.

However, his view, in the conservative council of elders, at the beginning, was of the more radical type, and received little support.

It's just that due to the embarrassment of the crocodile people, it is allowed to try it partially.

Unexpectedly, after opening the opening, they couldn't stop the car, after all, the Eternal Night Army Leader had a lot of goods in his hands that they couldn't refuse, such as food and weapons.

Using these two to open the way is really invincible, and those elders who oppose it can't stop it, because the result of their brutal actions will only lose the hearts of the people and let their people overthrow themselves from power, and they can only turn a blind eye.

However, the Eternal Night Commander knows very well what the Crocodiles need, and has always kept them in a state of starvation, and the food they have brought can only barely sustain them from falling into a large-scale food shortage, but they have never been truly fed.

If you want to completely fill your stomach, you have to pay a price.

Some small tribes that cannot be sustained have secretly extended an olive branch to the Eternal Night Army.

This is an open secret in the Council of Elders, but there is no way to stop it, they can't eradicate those tribes as traitors, can they?

And if they don't find a way to solve the food problem, it will only increase.

With the defeat in the head-on battle with the Kingsley family, a more pessimistic mood has emerged among the crocodile people, and Elder Webb's original more extreme ideas have become the norm and are sought after by many people.

Especially those who suffered heavy losses in the course of the war and those small tribes, not only because they were less able to bear the disaster, but also because they had to beware of their own people, not to be swallowed up, once they fell into their mouths, they would really not be left with scum, and they would completely become part of the other races.

At least for now, the Eternal Night Leader has shown a milder attitude towards them.

"We have no other choice, even if we have to endure their exploitation, it is better than the extermination of the dead race, I hope the other party does not go too far. Another Grand Elder, Stephani, chimed in.

This female champion knight has not traveled to the Eternal Night Lord, and her knowledge of them is only hearsay, and there is no affection for or dislike, but only from the perspective of the best interests of the crocodile.

"I'm against it, our situation isn't bad enough yet, and once we drag them in, the situation will become even more chaotic. "It was Klein who spoke against it.

The Great Elder, who had traveled to the Eternal Night Army, had shown undisguised hostility towards him from the beginning.

This kind of hostility was certainly not unprovoked, and the other elders saw the discipline in the Eternal Night Leader, but in his eyes it was an out-and-out powerful military government, and their current appearance of kindness was a disguise, and once the annexation was launched, the level of ferocity would only exceed their imagination.

But he was not as good at thinking and talking as Weber, and there was no way to put this thick concern into words and pass it on to others, and the only thing he could do was to resist it with his own tough attitude.

With the transformation of the internal atmosphere of the Council of Elders, his resistance from beginning to end has slowly become synonymous with stubbornness, and his popularity has become worse and worse, if it weren't for him on the battlefield, he and the clan he led were extremely brave, always taking the lead, charging at the front line, I am afraid that he would have been squeezed out of the Council of Five.

"Do you think they won't come in if we don't drag? Don't be too naïve, they are just sitting and watching now, I guess the army of others is already ready, even if we don't contact them, when the time is right, they will go downstream, and in our current situation, what can we do to resist their fleet? At that time, we will be completely in a passive state, rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the present and take the initiative in our hands. ”

Webber replied unceremoniously, apparently he had endured Klein for not a day or two, and he had no doubt about the other party's feelings for the crocodile.

But this insistence also depends on the situation, what is the situation of the crocodile people now?

If one is not handled carefully, it will be a catastrophe and the extinction of the species.

He's still here to die, and if he continues like this, he'll become a stumbling block to the survival of the crocodile. 、

"Then let's fight back, no matter how difficult the environment is, we still have countless soldiers full of blood, even if the last drop of blood is shed, we will never abandon a clansman and lose a piece of land. When Crane craned his neck to say this, his expression was serious and impassioned.

It can be seen that he is not simply shouting slogans, but is really ready to do this, I don't know if others are infected, he moved himself first.

"Brainless and reckless!" Webber couldn't help but scold angrily, this kind of person who led the whole clan to death because of his obsessive thoughts, he looked down on the most.

What qualifications do you have to act such an irrational act on behalf of your own people?

How can you be sure that your people and what you hold is an idea?

Is the nobility of your mind really so noble?

Not necessarily, it's more like a kind of outright selfishness.

"Both, calm down, calm down, everyone is for the survival and continuation of the crocodile people, there is no selfishness, why be vindictive?" Bishop said with a smile.

This is the other of the five Great Elders who has never been to the Eternal Night Army.

He was able to be selected neither because of his personal strength, nor because of his strong ethnic power, but because of his super popularity.

To put it bluntly, he is a good gentleman, and he doesn't know if he was born like this, or because he has been laughing for too long, and laughter has become his only expression.

Whether you look from the front or the side, you will always see the smiling face of a kind elder, and it is difficult to make people feel bad.

Any force needs such people, especially the elder council system of the crocodile, and it also needs people with good popularity to mediate and make peace in the middle, otherwise it will not be beneficial for anyone to be here like Webb and Crane.

So, in a way, when Bishop came forward and started to play the round, it was a stoppage.

Webb and Klein snorted angrily at the same time, and their faces parted from each other, and although they did not reach a settlement, they did not continue to argue.

Bishop made persistent efforts and said to Nitya, who had never expressed her position in the Council of Five Elders: "Great-grandmother, what is your opinion on this matter?"

In terms of physiognomy, Bishop is a few years older than Nitya.

But in terms of age, the relationship between the two is indeed an out-and-out great-grandmother and grandson, and the blood relationship between the two sides is still relatively close.

Having said that, in the Council of Elders, there are not a few people who are inextricably related to Nitya.

When a person lives long enough, her age will be her greatest asset.

"One more friend, one more road. "The gentleness of the kind-eyed Nidia," I see that people still have a little vision, the little guy named Sean, although a little ambitious, but the heart is not bad, everything is left in a line, and there is no absolute, even if we crocodile people have no way out, throw themselves under his banner, the situation will not be so bad, and when you live for a long time, you will know that some things are not as important as you think, such as the name of the crocodile people, this is not a title, but a spirit, a concept, is rooted in our body, and will not change with where we are, if you simply think that living in the swamp of despair, domesticating war crocodiles can be called crocodiles, that is the real narrow prejudice。 ”

"The religion of our ancestors is that we are too paranoid. ”

Great-grandmother had a point. ”

Whether she is convinced or dismissive, when Nitya speaks, she always has to echo it on the surface.

Whether it is the Council of Great Elders or the Council of Elders, compared to the beginning, the attitude towards the Eternal Night Commander has undergone a great change.

Now the voices of secondary communication with him have prevailed, and the opposition forces led by Klein have been completely drowned out under the rule that the minority obeys the majority.
