Red quickly made an excuse and changed the subject, "On this expedition, we have twenty-five good brothers who died in battle, and I propose that if there are underage men in their families, the tribe will provide for them until they reach adulthood. ”

"If there are no men in the house, and only the women are left, they will also be provided for by the tribe until the day when they find a new man or die of old age. ”

Red's proposal was also unanimously approved, and it was supposed to be a pension system for the tribe against the dead soldiers.

In this primitive and barbaric era, if a woman dies a man, she should remarry again, as long as she is still at an age suitable for childbearing, the tribe cannot tolerate idle resources, and every woman of the right age is precious.

The welcoming crowd gathered around the marching procession back to the camp and into the central square, where the onlookers pointed at the ninety Panther women they had brought back, as if they were good looking and which woman was in good shape.

The elders had published the resolutions they had just agreed upon, and the Wolf clan had always adhered to the principle of openness and fairness in this regard, so no one objected to the elders' decision.

Next, it was time for the main event, ninety women of the Panser tribe stood in the central clearing, and the warriors of the Wolf tribe stepped forward to choose in turn according to the method agreed in advance, according to the size of their contributions to the tribe.

This time, Green didn't choose to abstain, he fell in love with a beautiful woman from the Panther tribe at a glance among these women, yes, definitely the most beautiful of the ninety women, and still very young, maybe just an adult?

All the warriors of the Wolf clan who qualified to participate in the selection booed and whistled, they were naked jealous, but there was no way, who made Green accumulate merit second only to Red!

After Grimm, the remaining women were soon carried back to their houses by the hungry warriors, and the crowd laughed knowingly.

The elders comforted the warriors who had not been assigned to the women, "Don't worry, there are still sixty women from the Bell tribe who are about to be sent, there are oath scrolls here, I am not afraid that they will repent, you wait patiently for a few days!"

The weapons and skins captured during this expedition were also converted into meritorious deeds and distributed equally among each warrior, with a special elder in the clan responsible for recording the exploits of each warrior.

Because it is the winning side, after cleaning the battlefield, the throwing spears and oak arrows are basically recovered.

These two weapons have made a great contribution in this battle, and Red's decision to equip some of them with two throwing guns is definitely too wise.

The celebratory crowd gradually dispersed, and most of the families went back laughing and laughing, and the children saw their fathers, the wives saw their husbands, and the mothers saw their sons, all of which were joys for the rest of their lives.

Only a few families with men who had died let out a sad cry, stroking the bodies that Red had brought back and wiping their bodies with water over and over again.

Tomorrow, the tribe will hold a collective funeral to mourn and bury these warriors who died for the tribe.

Red asks Mary to take little Blue and Buzz home first, and he has something to discuss with the elders.

Red followed the elders and the witch doctor into a large spacious house next to the central plaza, where the clan's council hall was located, where the elders made their highest decisions.

Everyone sat down around the central fire pit, the elders were old, and their physique was certainly not as good as that of the young people, and there would be a bonfire in this fire pit all year round to add some warmth to the hall.

The elders sat comfortably in their seats, the witch doctor had her own special seat, and only Red sat in the guest seat at the doorway.

The Wolf clan now has four elders, Elder Stone, Elder Thor, Elder Bill, and Elder Brown, all of whom are old fellows from Red's father's generation.

According to the traditions of the tribe, it stands to reason that the former patriarch who has taken a back seat should serve as the Grand Elder of the Council of Elders, but Rhett's father has been missing for more than ten years, so naturally the most senior Stone can only serve as the Grand Elder.

The Presbyterian Council implements a voting system when deciding on major matters concerning the tribe, and the four elders plus the witch doctor have the right to vote, while the original Grand Elder has the power of two votes.

Now, in order to be able to vote on the final result, it has to be an odd number, so it has become a system of five people with one vote each.

"Rhett, is there anything else you'd like to talk to us about alone?" Grand Elder Stone asked lightly.

"Yes, there is one thing I want to tell you, ten of these ninety women are additional, and the Panther tribe has traded them for a promise from us!"

"What promise?" several elders asked in unison.

"Extend the armistice between the two tribes from three to six years, and for six years we cannot have any conflict with the Panser clan. ”

"Oh, on this condition, ten women in exchange for a three-year truce, suitable, you have done a good job!" the elders sighed, they thought it was some tricky promise.

"I'm not worried about the Panser tribe, after this defeat, they won't be able to recover for more than ten years, and they invited the Bell tribe to help, and the price must not be small. ”

"I'm really worried about the Bell tribe, after this battle, we have formed a bond with them, and I think it will provoke their revenge in the future, the Bell tribe is notoriously brainless, and it is also a well-known retribution!"

Hearing this, several elders also put away their smiling faces, and their expressions became solemn.

What Red said was true, the Bell tribe was notoriously vengeful, and with their great combat power, I hadn't heard of anyone they had ever surrendered to near this grassland and forest.

Although they lost this time and had to compensate sixty women, it is very likely that the Bell tribe will take revenge in the next bright year.

This time, they just casually sent war pets and warriors to help the Panser tribe, and did not really dispatch the main force of their tribe, and if they wanted to take revenge, I am afraid they would be out.

The "Man-Bear Warriors" of the Bell tribe are the most famous warriors in this grassland, and they are also the most powerful warriors in personal combat, and the Wolf tribe has suffered great losses in history, and even a patriarch has fallen into their hands.

The witch doctor, who had not spoken, raised his head and looked at Red, "Rhett, you say that, is there any way to deal with it?"

The elders also set their hopes on Red, "Yes, I have an idea, to deal with the powerful man-bear warriors, you must rely on bows and arrows, I propose that the clan try to trade as many strong bows as possible when the caravan arrives next time, preferably if you can trade meteoric iron bows and arrows." ”

"I think it's hard for a normal oak bow to do damage to a Bear Warrior, and only a meteoric iron bow can break through their defenses. ”
