Just after noon, Trist finished his daily feeding of the two little captives, cleaning the water bladders by the river.

Different from the sparse small villages in the poor hills in the north, the Red Maple Plain in front of you is the core area of the Red Maple Tribe, with more than 100 large villages crisscrossed by the surrounding fields, revealing the prosperity of the large tribe of nearly 40,000 people.

Qinghu Village and more than a dozen villages in the north temporarily settled on the periphery.

"Let's go", the one-legged old village chief leaned against the tree on crutches, and greeted Trist with the help of his son Alex.

"Good"

Trist dipped a little water, brushed back the broken hair on his forehead, and according to the custom of the Red Maple tribe, he tied a dark red tie on his forehead, and hung a beast tooth necklace around his neck, wolves, foxes, black bears, forest leopards, and all kinds of fierce beasts, which were the results of Triste's hunting in the past few months.

Vivian, who was pretending to freshen up by the river not far away, glanced at the dazzling array of loot, and only felt that her heart was beating half a beat slower, because in the tribe, warriors would only make the teeth of their own prey into ornaments, and disdain to use other people's prey. Alex looked at the necklace he was wearing only into a diamond-shaped glass piece, and secretly stomped his foot in exchange for a violent shudder from his father.

。。。。。。

Different from the wooden houses of the small tribes, the Red Maple Tribe Council Hall is a spacious stone house, silently telling the grandeur of the old days of the big tribe.

It's just that unlike the scene of more than 100 people who were noisy and shouting in the past, there were only a few dozen people sitting in the position at this moment, and the rest of the people who were not present, some followed the former leader Frus to expel the invaders, thus being buried in the Red Maple Grand Canyon, and some were surrounded by the caravan escort in Silver Moon Bay, 100 kilometers away, and only a few elders who stayed behind to deal with daily affairs survived.

The uncle of the former chief of Forest, who has always been in charge of the overall situation and handling the daily affairs of the tribe, and the great elder in his seventies, who has always been at odds with Luther, suffered a stroke and was bedridden after receiving the news of the fiasco of the Red Maple Grand Canyon and the death of his nephew. Therefore, the meeting was chaired by Luther, who is also the head of the border village of Qinghu.

Luthel looked at the door stunned, more than ten minutes passed, still staring at the door without saying a word, hoping that a few more figures would appear outside the door, but unfortunately it was doomed to be in vain, all who could arrive had already arrived.

Motioning for the slightly immature new guard outside the door to close the door, Luthel coughed a few times and held out his hand to invite Trist to come to the stage.

In the surprised eyes of the remaining high-ranking members of the surrounding tribes, Luthel slowly introduced, "This is Trist of Qinghu Village, the hero who saved our village...... He single-handedly took out 18 invaders of the Ice Nation......"

There was a sound of inhalation from the audience, first of all, this childish child who looked fifteen or sixteen years old had an official name instead of a nickname, which showed that he should be from the upper echelons of the tribe, but the upper echelons of the tribe had not heard of such an excellent young man. Secondly, because in the tribe, the warrior will only make the teeth of his prey into ornaments, and disdain to use other people's prey, and the young man in front of him, the prey teeth on the necklace are not ordinary, some old hunters with eyesight, have identified the teeth of black bears and forest leopards, due to nuclear radiation mutations, forest leopards and other cats have a certain atavistic phenomenon, fangs become longer, there is a tendency to change to saber-toothed tigers, so it is easier to identify. Because of this, and unlike the often exaggerated former leader Fruss, Elder Luthel has always been targeted, and the old hunters were suddenly secretly frightened, when did the younger generation have such a powerful genius?

Before they could digest it, the sentence that followed, 'He single-handedly dealt with 18 invaders of the Ice Country' dropped even more shock. The people who attended the meeting were all human spirits, and they suddenly understood Luthel's potential meaning, this is to launch this young man to run for the next village chief? After all, Luther's only son, Alex, is good for nothing (little Alex outside the door sneezed a few times). However, now the Red Maple Tribe is facing life and death, first at the beginning of the year, most of the farmland was burned by the Black Bear Overseer's surprise attack, and then the Red Maple Grand Canyon was defeated, more than 3,000 soldiers were wiped out, and more than 800 people who were urgently dispatched to the area to trade grain and winter wheat seeds were surrounded in Silver Moon Bay together with supplies, 100,000 urgent, now is not the time to fight for power and profit!

Even Luther's hardcore friend, Elder Lake, frowned disapprovingly at this time, feeling that his old friend still hadn't come out of the shadow of his failure to run for the leader twenty years ago.

"Now, let Trist tell us what he thinks......" Luthel said seemingly unhurriedly, but was hastily interrupted by Elder Lake, "Luthall, calm down...... We still have more than 800 fighters surrounded...... Now it's not ....."

"I lost Su Man!" , The sudden roar made Elder Lake speechless, the one-legged tiger had tears in his eyes, and the emotions that he had endured for three days suddenly exploded, "Calm down? How to calm down? Su Man...... My Suman ...... Qinghu Village was also attacked...... Including Su Man, twenty-two of us died...... Twenty-two people! ...... Woo woo......", wiping a handful of tears from his eyes, Elder Luthor continued, "You think I want to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power? Fart! ...... I just want revenge now! ...... I just want to rescue my tribal brothers in Silvermoon Bay right now! In the battle of Red Maple Canyon, our village sent twenty warriors, twenty! They're not coming back now! Never back! ...... The Red Maple Tribe can't bleed anymore...... The people of Silvermoon Bay, we must find a way to rescue them......"

Thinking of the relatives whose life and death were uncertain, the elders under the seat also had a look of concern on their faces.

"Now, let's listen to Trist's thoughts......", Luthel regained his composure, and the crowd was silent, and watched with complicated eyes as the strange teenager walked up to the stage.

“...... I'm Trist from Qinghu Village, and I have some immature ideas ...... at the moment", Trist took a deep breath and calmly recounted his judgment by the tent the day before yesterday.

Unlike the oppressive life of the Ark, the emotional tribesmen gave Triss a special feeling.

But so what? Joining Qinghu Village, just because of the attack of the Ice Country, in order to protect himself, of course, the one-legged village chief Luthel took a lot of care of himself, so he analyzed the current situation and made suggestions, as for whether the Red Maple Tribe listened to or not, Trist didn't care at all, he never forgot the purpose of this landing.

When it comes to the affairs of the Ice State, he will continue to inquire about the information of the tribesmen as a wanderer in Qinghu Village of the Red Maple Tribe, and when Murphy and the others come to Earth, he will protect these bear children, and then hand over the information of the tribesmen and mountain people to the Ark by the way.

“...... To sum up, we should shake hands with the Guanghu tribe and ask for the assistance of the Guanghu tribe on the condition that Silver Moon Bay be returned after the war......"

Trist walked down silently, ready to leave, he was already aware of Luther's deliberate wooing and momentum along the way, but he was not ready to accept it.

Everyone in the audience discussed at first, and was impressed by this reasoned and well-founded analysis, but they were a little hesitant to ask for help.

"Father...... Elder ......", Alex Jr. hurriedly pushed open the door and gasped for breath, "Eric, the new leader of the Light Lake Tribe, is visiting......"

Outside the village, Eric loosened his sharkskin cloak, fastened his horse, and watched the warriors of the Guanghu tribe who were passing the word go and return, followed by a small warrior of the Red Maple tribe with a beautiful face, "I...... I'm Alex from Qinghu Village of the Red Maple Tribe, and I ask you to go to the council chamber on the orders of the elders......"

Looking at the old, weak, sick and disabled warriors of the Red Maple Tribe who came all the way, Eric, the young new leader of the Guanghu Tribe, smiled knowingly, greeted the afternoon sun, and walked into the Red Maple Tribe Council Hall in the center of the village......
