Chapter 123: Tribal Alliance!
One mountain does not allow two tigers!
This is a Chinese proverb, from Ouyang Shan's "Three Family Alleys", the original meaning is a metaphor for two people who are incompatible, and there will be conflicts together.
Later, with the widespread application of this phrase, it was defined as the incompatibility of two strong people in the same place.
And in this primitive world, the guardian spirit is also unique to the tribe.
Because, for many of the weaker tribes, they simply do not have the ability to provide for multiple guardian spirits at the same time.
For example, in the bamboo tribe, most of the fierce beasts hunted every year are used by totem warriors to improve their strength, and the flesh and blood of the fierce beasts that are really enshrined to the purple bamboo spirit are actually not very many.
In such a situation where it is a little difficult to provide even one guardian spirit, how can it be possible to provide for multiple guardian spirits.
As for the tribes that are powerful enough to support multiple guardian spirits, they will not make that choice either.
Instead of feeding multiple Guardians at the same time, concentrating all resources on a single Guardian Spirit will undoubtedly make the tribe stronger.
Because, compared to quantity, it is more important to make a qualitative leap in strength.
For example, the Tiger Tribe, after the strength of the saber-toothed tiger reached the level of a barbarian beast, it easily wiped out the Peach Tribe, which was equal to their strength before.
And the two tribes of Bamboo and Fox also defeated the Tiger tribe that had been hit hard after paying a great price.
Moreover, the reason why they were able to defeat the Tiger Tribe was because the saber-toothed tiger had just broken through to become a barbarian beast, and its strength was not yet completely stable.
Otherwise, even if the two tribes of Bamboo and Fox unite, they will not be the opponent of the Tiger Tribe.
Even, if the Tiger Tribe were given another few hundred years to develop, they would most likely become as powerful as the Hideous Tribe.
What's more, the improvement of the strength of the guardian spirit also represents the strength of the totem warrior, and there will be more room for improvement.
This will undoubtedly raise the overall strength of the tribe to a higher level.
Therefore, as far as the number of guardian spirits is concerned, it is naturally more important than more.
Of course, these are the considerations of the human tribe in this regard.
For the guardian spirit, it is still necessary to return to the original sentence: one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers!
As spirits with great strength and wisdom not inferior to human beings, they all have their own haughty dignity, and it is impossible to allow other people of the same kind to exist in the same tribe.
It is for this reason that the Guardian Spirit is unique to each tribe.
Therefore, when he heard Lin Luo ask what would happen if a tribe had two guardian spirits, Zizhu Ling's tone would change significantly.
"Lin Luo, do you know what you're talking about?"
Wu hurriedly immediately reminded Lin Luo.
"I'm sorry Spirit, but my thoughts are not what you think, and I definitely don't mean to offend you. ”
Hearing this, Lin Luo immediately said sorry to Zizhu Ling, realizing that the sentence he asked was a little too abrupt.
"Tell me what you think!"
Zizhu Ling's voice quickly returned to its previous calm.
"Good. ”
Hearing this, Lin Luo nodded and stopped worrying about his appetite, and said directly: "Ling, I remember you once told me that there is an animal called black ants living in the jungle, although they are very small in size and weak in strength.
However, they are accustomed to moving together as a whole group, and even powerful beasts become food when millions of black ants hunt together.
Therefore, I thought that our Bamboo Tribe might be able to use this as a way for the tribe to survive and unite with other tribes to form a solid tribal alliance.
In this way, as the number of tribes joining the alliance increases, with the huge advantage in numbers, we may soon not even have to be afraid of the monstrous tribe. ”
Ants bite and kill elephants! A lone tiger can't stand a pack of wolves!
These sentences, which use animals in nature as descriptions, are all expounding the truth that there is great power in man.
And in this primitive world, in addition to hunting fierce beasts, the common way for tribes to develop is to annex other tribes.
However, this kind of development method is actually very inefficient.
Because, in the process of annexing other tribes, their own tribes will also suffer losses.
And it will take a long time for the children of the annexed tribes to grow up and truly reap the "dividends" brought by the population explosion.
So, in comparison, the way of forming a tribal alliance is undoubtedly more efficient.
Not only can it avoid the losses suffered by one's own tribe during the war, but as other tribes continue to join, the strength of the alliance will also be greatly increased.
And this is the way of development that Lin Luo thought of after thinking for a long time.
Among them, it also draws on the valuable experience of those sages in ancient China.
At the beginning, after the emperor became the leader of the Youxiong clan, he took advantage of the time to defeat other tribes and became the leader of the ancient Chinese tribal alliance, forming the initial prototype of Chinese civilization in the Yellow River Valley.
"Have you ever thought about betrayal?"
After listening to Lin Luo's story, Zizhu Ling asked out loud.
In the past, the Bamboo Tribe and the Fox Tribe were allies, but as the situation has changed, the two tribes have now become enemies.
In the face of its own interests, the so-called covenant is simply fragile.
This is why, when a tribe annexes another tribe, it chooses to kill all the spirits, witches, and totem warriors.
That's not because the tribes have a penchant for killing, but because they want to completely cut off the hope of the absolute side.
Only when the spirits, witches, and totem warriors are all killed, will the remaining tribes willingly submit to the new tribe in order to survive.
But alliances are different, and if each tribe has its own guardian spirit, then they will always have their own tribe's interests at heart.
If you really encounter a powerful enemy, it is very likely that some tribes will choose to betray the alliance out of selfishness.
And for an alliance, the slightest betrayal is equivalent to a fatal blow.
"I've thought about this question for a long time. ”
Hearing Zizhu Ling's inquiry, Lin Luo immediately replied, "The alliance I am talking about does not mean a simple alliance relationship.
That's why, at the beginning, I asked you what happens when there are two guardians in a tribe. ”
"Oh, tell me what kind of alliance you're going to form?"
Hearing this, Zizhu Lingcai finally had some interest in the alliance that Lin Luo was talking about.
