Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Meeting Begins
The rest of the tribesmen, led by the tribal elders, moved away from their homeland, far from the grasslands, and did not return for two hundred years, let alone attend the League convention, so their camp gradually fell into disuse.
When Bull saw that the elders and witch doctors had heard of his tribe, his attitude immediately changed a lot, and he was no longer so arrogant.
He took out a wooden plaque and showed it to the elders, which was a token issued by the tribal alliance to each member clan.
The token is made of oak wood and is intricately crafted, with the banners of each clan and the name of the clan, which will be engraved if they have won the honor of being the Lord of the Alliance or the First Chief.
The Baisen tribe used to be very powerful, the lord of the alliance and the patriarch were the first in the competition, and they all won it a few times, and this wooden card is clearly recorded on it.
The elders unanimously determined that this wooden plaque was genuine, which means that they are really members of the Baisen tribe and one of the members of the alliance, and the tribe that moved away was not removed from the alliance, so they are eligible to participate in the alliance meeting and the patriarch competition.
Rhett frowned when he heard the elders' announcement, such a coincidence?
He exchanged his eyes with Elder Brown, and Elder Brown nodded, meaning that the wooden cards were real, and they were really from the Baisen tribe.
Red looked at the patriarch of the Bison tribe, Bull, who was tall and burly, and had a fight with Bell's size, and it seemed that there was another strong rival.
Since they are eligible to participate in the alliance conference, the Baisen tribe can naturally live back to their own station, and the people of the Tiger tribe can only retreat to their own station, but the two sides are still glaring angrily, it seems that this beam is not easy to expose.
Two days passed quickly, and this day was the day of the Tribal Alliance Conference.
After breakfast, everyone came out of their quarters and walked towards the middle of the camp.
In the middle of the camp, there was a huge meeting hall, round of rough wooden chairs, also divided into thirty-two parts.
Each clan had its own markings, but there were only a limited number of them, and only the chiefs and elders could sit, and the rest of the warriors had to stand.
Each tribe brought its own banner and planted it in front of its own wooden chairs.
Before the meeting begins, the nineteen tribes elect a presiding officer for the assembly, usually the most respected elder or witch doctor.
The final result was that the witch doctor of the Igor tribe was chosen to be the presiding officer of the conference, she was the elder of the three league conferences, and there was no one more qualified than her.
The Igor tribe is the one that uses the golden eye carving as the banner pattern, and they have always been the top three powerful tribes in the alliance, so the witch doctor of their tribe still has enough confidence and strength to act as the host.
Igor Witch Doctor was quite strong, and she walked into the middle of the arena, yes, in the center of all the wooden chairs was surrounded by a wide circular playing field, which was the arena for the patriarch to compete.
The patriarchs, elders, and warriors of all the tribes applauded her in respect, and she raised her hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Today is our Steppe Tribal Alliance, the Twenty-Year Alliance Meeting, and I am very happy that this year's Alliance Meeting, after a long absence, the returning Baisen tribe participated, and the number of members of the Congress increased again to nineteen. ”
"Let me briefly talk about the process of the conference, everyone may be familiar with it, first of all, the selection of the most powerful clan in the alliance in the past twenty years, the patriarch of this tribe will receive the honorary title of the lord of the alliance. ”
"Then, it is the traditional competition of the patriarchs of the various clans, and I repeat the rules of the competition, as long as you sign up for the patriarch competition, it means that you agree to abide by the rules of the competition, life and death have their own destiny, and you are allowed to use personal equipment and weapons. ”
"The final winner of the Patriarch Contest, according to tradition, will be eligible to participate in the Altar Trial of the God of the Forest, and the witch doctors of each clan will activate the portal and send them to the Land of Trials. ”
"As for the result of the trial, it depends on the will of God, maybe he will return with a full load, or he may lose his life, so in the end, I will say again, the patriarch will compete, don't force it, but voluntarily. ”
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Igor Witch Doctor nodded, "Then, the assembly begins now, and we will first select the strongest clan in the past twenty years,"
"The major tribes report their tribal populations, the number of warriors, and the tribal records of the last twenty years, as well as the number and area of hunting grounds under your control, starting from west to east in order of seating. ”
The first to report is the patriarch of the Igor tribe, the Igor tribe has always been a powerful clan in the alliance, and their warriors like to capture the golden-eyed eagle and train it to be a war pet.
Although the golden-eyed eagle is difficult to capture, it will not become a war pet once it becomes a war pet, and the strength is very strong, and they have a set of ancestral methods for training the golden-eyed eagle, which is much more powerful than Green's war pet.
Therefore, there are few other tribes who are enemies of them, and without foreign enemies, they can develop steadily, and the population of the tribe has reached 5,430 people, which is already the historical peak of their tribe, and there are 360 warriors.
As soon as this number came out, all the major tribes couldn't help but marvel, and many tribes were far from each other, and it was difficult to match them.
Some of the subsequent tribes, even like the mighty Tiger tribe, were far inferior to the results of the Igor tribe, and even if they barely had the same number of warriors, their population was far behind.
When Shet, the patriarch of the Panser clan, stepped forward to tell the data of his tribe, there was a lot of discussion below, and some people even laughed.
The population of the Panser tribe is now only 3,460 people, and the warriors of the tribe are only 210 people, which is the result of years of recuperation.
The hunting grounds under their control were even more pitiful, and it was only because the large river next to their camp was rich in all kinds of river fish that they were able to ensure their rations.
Shet couldn't raise his head in shame when he heard the laughter below, and he couldn't help but glance viciously at Green, who was the happiest laugher, and Green immediately glared back with the same ferocity.
Shet rushed off the stage, he really couldn't afford to lose this person, but all this was thanks to Red and Green, and he must avenge his father's death.
Next to step forward was the patriarch of the Bell clan, Bell, who also glared at Red after he appeared, and then said the data of his clan angrily.
The Bell tribe suffered heavy losses after two fierce battles with the Wolf tribe, and both of them were defeated.
Their current tribe population was only 4,935 people, and this was the result of the two years of raiding other tribes, so the Bell tribe had many more enemies than his allies.
The Bell tribe still has 300 warriors, and Bell is most worried about this, if it weren't for the two defeats with the Wolf tribe, their number of warriors would definitely exceed 400.
The two defeats not only killed ninety-seven Bell tribesmen warriors, but also more than 20 people were seriously wounded and could not continue to fight for the tribe and became invalids.
And they also sent out one hundred and forty-five women of childbearing age, which was definitely a heavy blow and directly led to a significant reduction in the number of fighters of a generation.
