144. Co-optation
For Sarsin, opportunities have never been created by waiting, but by his own hands. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
If he were a man who went with the flow, then he might have been at the mercy of the old chieftain Baird, and would continue to be used as a checkcheck and balance on the relationship with the chieftain Gulawo, and wait until one of them had been killed, and then take over the position of chief or chieftain.
But his utilitarian refusal to wait so slowly, and instead chose another risky shortcut, and he succeeded, now the sole leader and chief of the dark troll tribe, all in one.
Yet he still had some scruples.
Sasin could feel the malice coming from the narrow corners of his vision, he felt that his rule was in jeopardy, and a man who relied on betrayal to rise to power was always on the lookout for betrayals from others.
As he said before, Sasin never waits in vain, and he likes to look for opportunities to address the uneasiness around him.
He came up with a very apt excuse.
Seeing that winter was about to begin, the clan needed to stock up on some food, so he sent his warriors to hunt.
Although fresh raw meat is easy to spoil and spoil, it is much easier to store when hung up and dried into jerky, and the dark troll still has this wisdom. Sasin's request was reasonable, because there was always not enough food, and every winter was difficult for the people, and it was necessary to prepare in advance.
But one thing is different from the usual is that in the past, the chief personally led everyone to hunt, but Sasin also has the identity of a leader, so the person responsible for leading the warriors to hunt is one of Sasin's henchmen named Cory, because the current tribe is basically Sasin's Yiyantang, so no one raises any objections.
But what they never imagined was that it was a trap set by Sarsin.
Following Sarsin's plan, Corey lured the warriors whom Sarsin had decided to get rid of into a trap they had dug beforehand. The dark trolls are relatively simple, because of the control of the old leader Baird in the past, many of them have not even walked out of this foothill since they were born, so they have no heart, although they want to overthrow the tyranny of Sasin and avenge the old leader or chief, but in fact they are still overshadowed by Sasin.
When they reached the trap, the mountain collapsed, and they tried to escape, but they found that Cory, who had led them here, had ordered all their retreats to be sealed and buried alive. It was also their fate that should not be extinguished, who could have known that there was a narrow gap in the mountain they hurriedly hid in, which actually allowed them to escape.
The warriors who survived the aftermath vowed revenge, and when they returned to their tribe, they found that the old men and boys associated with them had been killed, and the women had been forcibly seized by Sasin and his men.
The new feud and the old grudge completely split the power of the dark trolls, and they fought a battle for it, but as I said before, Sasin's strength is also there, and after the death of Gulawo, the strongest in the tribe in the past, he is now the first person in the entire tribe.
The warriors, who were anxious for revenge, did not get a favor, and Sasin did not have time to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, for the snow had fallen and winter had arrived.
Even if Sasin was in a hurry to win, he wouldn't joke in the winter, which was a tough hurdle for the dark trolls who lived in harsh conditions, and perhaps Sasin could hope that the group would die in a starving and unprepared treacherous environment - which would certainly save him a lot of trouble.
And the timing of the appearance of Alan and Ysera was at this stall.
To be honest, the number of warriors who survived was very small, because many of them had died during the cold winter, and they had survived because of their resentment, and because they had been aided by other creatures in the forest.
After all, under the rule of Senarius, the king of the forest, the animals are still mostly well-intentioned.
Livai was the leader of the remnants of the exiles, and unlike the leaders and chieftains who had been screened through layers, his status as a leader was very watery, and he was randomly elected by everyone, and everyone was very confused at that time, hoping that someone would stand up and show him the way, and then follow suit.
As the elected Livai is very young, even the childishness on his face has not been shed, and he does not look much older than Harvis.
However, this is not surprising, because most of the elite among the dark trolls were taken away by Azhara last time, and the rest of these are the old guys who support the old leader Baird, and the young men who favor Gulavo in favor of the strong-blooded young people.
Livai and his half-brother were once staunch supporters of the chieftain Gulavo, and they also swore to Loa to avenge the chieftain, but Livai's brother had died in the previous battle, and now Livai was left alone. To be honest, Levai is not a person with leadership skills, when his brother gave everyone to himself before he died, but in fact, Levai himself does not know where to take these people, none of them are Sasin's opponents, and the number of fighters is far less than that of the other party, this revenge, I don't know when and how to revenge.
Now that the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the warriors who have been ordered by Sasin have begun to move around, and it is predictable that even if they don't go to trouble each other, Sasin will definitely not let go of his group.
What should I do?
Ask for help from others, but who to turn to, although the inhabitants of the forest give them help, but they themselves are not good at fighting, or ask for the protection of the god of the forest, but he is really willing to agree. As we all know, the god of the forest never intervenes in the internal affairs of the various races, and he only cares about the balance of the forest.
Just when Livi was at a loss, he met Alan and Ysera, who had come to visit.
Purple-skinned, with no fangs on their mouths, they were clothed in brocade and linen, not tightly wrapped in a fur or thatched garment, as they were.
Levi remembers that he had seen someone like this once.
"Are you the messengers of the priests?" Livai asked.
In fact, Azhara is no longer a priest, but Ellen is indeed Azhara's man, which is true.
So he replied succinctly, "Yes, we are here to help you kill Sasin." (To be continued.) )
