There were six guards and twelve people sitting in the middle of a tent in the camp of the Boundary Atlas Department, and everyone had doubts in the face of Ubar's conjecture, although the facts were clear and clear, but all the evidence did not know where to point, and the fear of the unknown enemy affected the normal thoughts, and also blocked the mouths of the six.

After a long while, Ubar finally spoke: "Don't panic, since we already know the existence of a strong enemy, just deal with it carefully, starting tomorrow, the whole clan will enter a state of emergency, each clan will be on duty twenty-four hours a day, weapons and armor will be worn with you, and the depth of exploration of the tribe's periphery will be increased. As for you, Timgara, your snake must have been killed during the invasion, and you don't have to look for it anymore, as long as you don't get into trouble and don't restrict your freedom. ”

"Snake... My snake—" Timgara muttered, and got up and left the tent.

"Kazan, you go now, go to the Bakin Department to find Silaheim, tell them what happened here, let them hurry back as soon as possible, and the twelve of us must fight together against the unknown enemy. ”

"Okay, I'll go. ”

As soon as Kazan got up, the curtain of the tent was raised, and the messenger said, "Ubar, the old chief has invited you to go to the tent. ”

"Got it, we'll go over now. Ubar ordered the men to go to Timgara, and the five of them came to the tent together.

"Old chief, we're in. Ubar respectfully announced outside the tent door.

"Come in. As soon as the tent door was pushed open, Timgalla was seen sitting beside the old chief, bowing his head and sobbing.

"Timgara, how dare you come here to harass the old leader, you..."

"Okay, Yerge, it's understandable that he lost his pet and asked the old man to vent his emotions. The old leader sat on a tiger skin chair and waved his hand to persuade Yerg.

"Old Chief, what do you call us?" asked Ubar.

"The situation in the tribe has been a little unusual lately, and I know everyone is worried and confused, but..."

"Sorry to interrupt you, but we've already worked out a way to deal with it, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Ubar, the old man knows that you are capable and that you are doing your best for the safety of the tribe, but this matter is related to the fate of everyone, and it is not up to you to decide. ”

"Old Chief, you don't have to worry about what he thinks, we'll do what you say. Mangu Yun glanced at Ubar and said unceremoniously.

"Old chief, do you already know, who is we attacking?"

"The old man has nothing to hide, but this matter needs to be reported to the whole clan, from now on, all the tribes sent outside to reconnoiter and patrol are all recalled, leaving a few people to answer at the entrances and exits, and the rest of the people are not allowed to leave the tribe, and the old man will explain to everyone tomorrow. ”

"But the old leader was sent to Hilaheim in the Bergin Ministry, what will they do?"

"You don't have to inform them, let them continue with their mission and let them know when they come back. ”

"Okay, it's up to you. Then they saluted and left the tent.

Ubar arranged according to the old chief's orders, and deliberately called Yarg and Kazan aside, and instructed them to take turns patrolling the entrances and exits, and to report any visions as soon as possible, and not to fight alone, so as not to be controlled by the enemy.

The men and horses who had been patrolling outside in the evening returned to the camp and reported the situation around Ubar to the people who had returned from a stupor. Ubar immediately informed the guards at the entrances and exits to take care of them, explain the situation to the newly returned tribes, calm their emotions, and prevent them from disturbing the order of the camp.

The next morning, the six of them waited outside the old chief's tent, Ubar paced back and forth anxiously, Yerg and Kazan were a little tired from resting all night, Mangu Yun and Ye Suohong talked and laughed freely, and Timgara changed his crazy style and stood quietly not far away.

The old chief pushed open the door of the tent, saw the six of them, and said with a smile on his face, "You have risen early enough, go and gather everyone." Then he turned and went back to his tent.

With the exception of Timgara, the other five split up to deliver orders. After about two hours, all the members of the tribe arrived, and the old chief's side tent was flooded, and the crowd was crowded and noisy.

Ubar and the other six stood outside the side tent door to welcome the old leader out, and all the tribes present shut up after seeing the old leader, and stopped discussing it wantonly.

"Recently, all kinds of strange images in the camp and everyone's suspicions, the old man has already known, and everyone is called today for this matter, please listen to the old man's explanation patiently. The attendant used voice magic to convey the old leader's words clearly to everyone present.

As soon as the words fell, the tribes were in an uproar, it turned out that the old leader knew the truth, and the doubts that had been suspicious for a long time could finally be solved. The crowd first turned from sorrow to joy, motivating each other with their eyes and words, and then shook their heads gently, fearing that the old chief's answer would be even more unexpected, so they turned from safety to danger, and looked at the old chief with praying eyes, hoping that he would not only explain all the visions, but also give solutions.

After everyone was quiet, the old leader continued: "The facts we see with our own eyes are not necessarily the truth, and unfounded speculations are not necessarily delusions, we were born as wasteland people, in order to protect this land, heroic and fearless is the character we should have, knowing or not knowing can not be stopped, since doubts hinder everyone's nature, then forget it." ”

Everyone present, including Ubar, was full of suspicion, not knowing what the old leader meant, literally asking everyone to forget about this matter and stick to their duty, but this explanation was too hasty and unconvincing, which made everyone even more confused, looking at each other with a solemn face.

"Old chief, this..."

"Wait. The old leader raised his hand to stop Ubar's question.

A breeze spread around the old leader, kicking up sand and dust along the ground beneath everyone's feet, like ripples on the surface of the water until it covered everyone.

Suddenly, the old leader raised his hands and shouted "now", everyone was attracted by this word, no one noticed the white light gradually shining on the ground, the light from simple lines connected into complex patterns, and finally turned into a huge magic circle enveloping everyone in it, the dazzling light gradually brightened, against the sunlight, reflecting people and everything around them white, as if disappearing, all merged into this single color.

"Rebuild the central tent, mend the broken tents, fill in the arrow pits, and from now on, all the newly returned tribes will be brought to my tent, and let me act. The old leader gave the order in the center of the circle, and as soon as he finished speaking, the white light disappeared, and he turned around and entered the side tent.

The expressions of the tribes present were calm, and they dispersed one after another, performing their duties as instructed, and all the previous suspicions and doubts disappeared, and everything returned to normal.

Ubar directs the reconstruction around the ruins of the Great Horde, Yerg and Kazan run outside the camp to practice martial arts, Mangu Yun dismemberes his prey, Ye Suohong sets up a grill on the side, and Timgara pours bottles and cans in his tent, leaving the death of the viper behind, everything is justified and nothing is left to their suspicions.

At dinner, the old chief summoned them into the tent, and Ubar saw the old leader's demeanor and hurriedly asked, "Old chief, are you not feeling well?"

"The old man is just a little tired, how is the central tent repaired?"

"Using the remaining inventory, the pillars have been basically erected, and it will take a day or two for the laying of the books, since you are unwell, you don't have to worry about these little things, just leave it to me to preside. ”

"What's the matter? The old leader can't even ask, and he will be presided over by you, you want to take advantage of the old leader's health to further usurp power and seize the throne. Mangu Yun questioned Ubar.

"You... You are talking nonsense, I am loyal to the old chief, I am just worried about the old chief's physical condition, there is no other meaning, you..."

"Mangu Yun, it's really inappropriate for you to say that about Ubar, he's just..."

"Yo, when did you become his lackey, do you need to interject?"

"Mangu Yun, you—" Yerg stood up, and Kazan hurriedly grabbed him.

"Why, do you still want to use force with me, let's go, let's go out, I'm going to try how good the first melee in the wasteland is. ”

"Everyone, stop arguing, don't argue, the old leader is unwell, you are still arguing there, don't sit down quickly. Kazan was furious and forced Yager back to his seat, and Ye Suohong also dragged Mangu Yun and shook his head frequently.

"Haha, haha, it's business as usual. The old chief laughed.

"Old chief, what's wrong with you, are you confused by Ubar, you..."

"Alright, Mangu Yun, stop taunting Ubar. Ubar, you don't want to be like her, you are both twelve guards, you usually communicate more, don't always quarrel, let the people see jokes. Hehe. ”

Everyone didn't know what was wrong with the old chief, and instead changed his usual serious attitude, he actually gently persuaded and taught, but since the old leader had spoken, they didn't ask any more questions, and they all quieted down.

"Timgara, how are you, have you researched a new poison?"

"Snakes, centipedes, lizards, bats, toads..."

"Okay, okay, it seems that you haven't chosen yet, wait until you find a new pet, let the old man and me take a look." ”

"Old chief, he is mentally incomplete, in case the poison hurts you... Don't look at it. Ubar persuaded.

"It's okay, it's okay, Timgara can still do his own thing, but he can still control the measure. Okay, let's not talk about this, the old man called you today for no other meaning, that is, to accompany the old man to have dinner, by the way to arrange the big and small matters in the clan, Silaheim and they went to the Bergin tribe, there are only six of you left in the clan, during this time you must shoulder the responsibilities of twelve people, double the spirit, and protect the safety of the tribe. ”

"Yes. All six replied at the same time.

"Alright, let's eat. ”

Seemingly an encouraging reminder, but in fact testing the efficacy of memory magic, Ubar has no doubt about the rebuilt Central Horde, and Timgara no longer cares about the lost viper, judging by the performance of the two, they have once again succeeded in tampering with their memories.
