190th Sula Inter-Bureau
Muhadi untied the water bag from his waist and poured it into his thirsty throat to ease his body's protests. The bag of water had bottomed out, and he turned the bag upside down, leaving only two drops of water, which splashed on the sand with a crackling sound. A finger-sized lizard poked its head out of the sand, looked around furtively, and then burrowed back in.
Based on long observations, Muhadi determined that he lived in the middle latitudes of this world. Now that the weather is getting hotter, it is becoming more and more difficult to travel during the day.
As soon as the gray-scaled bird stopped, it kept pecking on the ground. It seems to have the ability to reveal small insects that hide beneath the surface of the sand. The psychic mancer can sense thoughts, feel light pressure through his skin, and receive visual, auditory, and vibrating messages through guΓ² synaesthesia, but none of them can perceive the creatures beneath the ground like this gray-scaled bird. I wonder if it's because of the magic of nature, or because the Grey Scale Bird is also a creation of ancient halfling biotechnology?
He put on a scarf for Medici, and it was noon, and at such temperatures, if he didn't protect himself, he could even burn his respiratory tract or exacerbate the loss of water.
There is no shade in the vicinity of this area, no rocky hills, no trees. There are a number of circular gravel circles around it, which are formed by the fragmentation of large stones after countless temperature changes in the distance between day and night.
The Grey Scaled Bird folded one leg and stood on one leg, and after a while stood on another leg. Muhati hid in the shadow cast by the bird, thinking about what to do next.
Muhadi's current location is home to the dry bed of an ancient river. In ancient times, Tyre was known as the city of seven bridges, and the natural water system reached. Now that the world has been completely desertified, the rivers have disappeared, but the riverbed still exists, and if you go upstream along the riverbed, you will find Tyre.
But now that he is back in Tyre, he will have to face the siege of the coalition army next, and it is really a life of death. It is better to go back to the tribe first, settle the dispute with the chief, take some tribal warriors with you, and then go to Tyre.
Muhathir secretly made up his mind that this time he would copy Fatou-makh and become the chief. Fahd was an ambitious guy who was not an ordinary person under the Ganju people, and he happened to be sent to Tildang as a member of the ruling council. Now the Consul Council has been reduced to a wooden seal by the Coral Witch Shatiri, with no real power, even if Tessian becomes the King of Tyre in the future. He was born as a Templar, so how could he give a bunch of councillors a good look.
He took out some broken naan from his bag, chewed hard, swallowed it, then stood up and patted the sand on his body, and went on his road again.
After receiving the news from the sand eagle a few days ago, the elves of the Scorpion tribe had different opinions for a while.
Fahd's followers all advocated hurrying to the pick-up location, but this drew opposition from many elves. Most of these elves did not follow Fatuma or a particular side of Fahd, and in their opinion, now that the tribe had reaped enough benefits, it was better to take any more risks and return to the settlement to repair itself.
Fatoumah said no, and her followers did not dare to express their opinions. The group argued, and the final compromise was that those who wanted to go back would go back, and the rest would go to pick them up.
In the end, the remaining two hundred elven warriors chose to stay, most of them Fahd's men. Most of Fatoumah's followers chose to go back, but to the elves' surprise, the girl herself chose to stay. Find a way to rescue Muhadi and his half-brother.
Due to the coalition forces constantly using magic carpets in the air to scout, the Scorpion tribe's centaurs have never approached the iron mine. Fear of the Witch King was widespread among the tribesmen, and the elves, fearing the ruins of fighting the Witch King's people, had been hiding in a hidden spot near the iron mines.
After a few days, they met Fahd, who had escaped from the iron mines. Fahd used the magic sword named High Cone to recruit a large number of elves and half-elves from the iron mines, and was about to return to the tribe, only to meet the two sides unexpectedly.
As soon as the two groups of people met, they almost fought again. Fatoumah believed that Fahd had brought in so many men in order to reverse the balance of power and seize the position of chieftain. Fahd claimed that these elves were his personal slaves, and that he, as a warrior of the tribe, had the right to include his slaves as members of the tribe. He then announced the release of the slaves, which he disposed of as his private property, and no one else was allowed to beak them. Not even Fatumah wanted to duel him, because the chief had not yet been decided, and private duels between the two candidates were not allowed.
Fahd incorporated the elves he had recruited in the Iron Mines into the Scorpion tribe, and since they had not yet proven themselves, they had no right to call themselves warriors and share in the spoils. Seeing that these people would not take their spoils, the other samurai did not have much objection.
After Fahd settled his new recruits, he told the others that the Tyr Iron Mine was on the verge of falling. When he fled from the iron mines, the chaos had not yet begun, but he deduced that the place would not be defended for a long time under the attack of the coalition forces. The reason is simple, if it can be defended, then the military strength in Tyre is stronger, and it is not a problem. And if the Witch King's alliance did not have the strength to capture Tyre, wouldn't it be foolish for the Witch Kings to send an army, and the Witch Kings are never stupid.
"You think finding these people will allow you to climb on top of me?" the elven girl questioned Fahd, kicking up a pile of sand and splashing it under Fahd's robes. "They weren't samurai, and they didn't even say anything. When I become a chieftain, the first thing I'll do is banish you from the tribe, and then exile these guys to the depths of the desert and leave them to fend for themselves!"
Fahd was silent for a moment and said. "Your gaze is too close, that's why you're always inferior to me......"
"You dare to say that I can't compare to you?!" Fatoumah said angrily.
The latter ignored her and continued. β...... You think about the tribe, you think about your father's legacy. You will be a good chief, but you will never be a king. These elves ......," he pointed to the men he had brought, "...... Not members of our tribe, but they are indeed elves like us, why do you treat them as outsiders who are not of my race?"
"We used to have great civilizations, but now we elves have lost all the splendor we once had. Our numbers are dwindling day by day, and the rest are divided into tribes that fight against each other. He raised his magic sword, the one that was said to be the one used by the ancient elven royal family. "Maybe this sword is real, maybe it's fake. But when I picked it up, my purpose was the same as those of the ancient kings of my peopleβto defend the interests of all elves. β
"I see too close, and you see too far!" Fatuma pointed out unceremoniously, "and you stare at the stars in the sky, and you end up falling into the quicksand." Revive the elves?If we can't even grow our own tribe, how can we talk about reviving the elves? The witch king and the ** masters of the human race rule the city, and you don't want to gather the power of the elves, but instead you will set yourself on fire and perish faster!"
Fahd didn't say anything, "Time will tell who is right between the two of us." Now, I want you to promise me one thing. β
"What's that?" asked the elven girl.
"Give me the chieftaincy, and I'll take you and the rest of the men and horses to get that human lover of yours out. β
Fatuma's pupils contracted suddenly, "He's in danger?"
"Anything can be born if you escape from the iron mine. Maybe someone is chasing, maybe there's a monster on the road, and we need to answer it......" Fahd said, pausing, and then laughing heartily. "Forget it, I'm kidding you. I won't force you to make such a difficult choice, isn't the most painful thing for a woman to have her betray her love? β
"You say I love him?" Fatuma made a disdainful expression.
"I didn't say that, your eyes said so. Fahd said, "Come on, let's go to him together." I'm afraid that Muhadi's friends have had a little misunderstanding about me recently, and I still need your help to mediate. β
"How can I help you? You want to compete with me for the position of chief, you are my enemy. β
"I'm giving up," Fahd shrugged, "there's an alternate position that suits me better, and I need your help in order to get it." β
After a pause, he said, "Chief Fatoumah." β
