In the early afternoon, a high-speed frigate left the Wolf's Tooth Fortress and sailed towards a plain at the corner of the Great Cloister. There are four werewolf tribes, one large and three small, living there.

The target was only specified on the map when Thousand Nights set off, so there is no possibility that Eskar was secretly cheating.

Song Hui once seized the opportunity to be alone with Qianye for a short time, and once again expressed her opinion, "There must be a conspiracy behind this, and that stinky wolf must have its own purpose!"

It can be seen that she is extremely wary of Eskar at this time, and even Qianye herself is refreshing her understanding of the werewolf count again and again. It is no wonder that in the case of such a big difference in the social forms of the two sides, and there are generals like Xu Jingxuan, Zheng Guo has not taken advantage of the werewolves.

However, Qianye has his own opinion on this, "It's normal to have a purpose, otherwise for what? Suppress it by force? Then a clan leader from the Twilight Continent can take Yong Lu into his pocket." As for whether it is a conspiracy, just see. ”

The journey is not long, and it takes a lot to reach the destination quickly.

It was the first time that many mercenary generals had entered the werewolf camp as visitors. And even though Qianye had seen more than one werewolf tribe in the Eternal Night Continent, he was still quite surprised by what he saw.

Compared to the werewolves of other continents, the werewolf tribes here are much more primitive. The cone-roofed houses were made of wood, hay and mud bricks, and the camps were protected by wooden thorn fences, not even walls. There are many tall poles erected in the camp, on which dried prey is carried. The camp is not small, but there are only a few large prey, mostly pheasants and ducks.

Seeing Qianye walking into the camp, many werewolf tribesmen came out of the grass hut and watched silently. Most of the people in the camp were women and children, and there were very few young and strong people, which was not surprising, maybe they were already in the conscripted army, but there were few old people, so it was a little strange. The wolves lie listlessly in the shade, occasionally flicking their tails.

Most of the werewolves wore homemade leather suits, many children were simply naked, and even some women were topless.

Next to the thatched hut, on the kitchen table of the werewolves, there were some grains and dried fruits scattered around, mixed with air-dried minced meat, and boiled into meat porridge, which was their food. It's just that the proportion of meat is pitiful, and it may only add a bit of meat flavor to the porridge.

Looking at the visitors, there was curiosity and awe in the werewolves' eyes, but more often there was indifference and numbness, as if the hard life had drained all their enthusiasm.

Thousand Nights had never seen the lives of the Buraku from the perspective of a peaceful bystander, nor did she expect the werewolves in the Great Cloister to be so down. For a moment, he thought of the garbage dumps on the Continent of Eternal Night.

Werewolves are not completely carnivorous creatures, and they are not much different. If you eat less meat, it will seriously affect their growth. In the past, the empire imprisoned werewolf captives, and one of the secrets was to only give them grain food, and after eating for a week, no matter how strong the werewolf was, it would become weak and powerless, let alone resist, and even have no strength to escape.

But the werewolves in the Great Cloister seem to have become accustomed to vegetarianism, which is also forced by the environment.

Just as Qianye was observing the details of the werewolf tribe, an old werewolf priest sniffed hard, and suddenly shouted: "It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty Qianye!"

He rushed in front of Chiya, threw himself to the ground, and kissed Chiya's boots. The werewolves of the entire tribe seemed to explode, and they all rushed over, like madness.

The mercenary generals were taken aback, and someone drew their weapons.

Eskar immediately let out a breath, and the strong coercion shocked the werewolf tribesmen, and then shouted: "All stand down, keep your distance, if anyone offends Your Majesty, I will skin him, hang him on a high pole and hang him!"

At this moment, the Dark Earl, who is known for his sniper talent and therefore has a relatively stable combat style, reveals the ferocity and cruelty of the werewolf. Such a threat worked very well against the werewolves, who knelt on the ground and prostrated back to make way for Chiya and the others.

Qianye swept at Eskar coldly, frowning slightly, "What's the name just now?"

Eskar said respectfully, "You can go to the ancestral altar and take a look. ”

Qianye glared at him and walked into one of the largest thatched huts in the center of the tribe. This is where the ancestral altar is located, and it is also the sacred place of the entire tribe, not to mention outsiders, even ordinary tribesmen do not have the right to step into it casually. However, several priests did not have the slightest objection, and prostrate on the ground to welcome Qianye inside.

Chiya frowned and stepped through the door. As soon as you enter the door, it is like stepping into another world, and the atmosphere inside and outside is completely different. Unexpectedly, Qianye actually sensed his own aura on the ancestral altar. In today's world, I'm afraid that only Qianye has dark gold blood, and this kind of aura will never be misunderstood.

In the center of the altar of the ancestors, the totem poles of the tribal ancestors surround a central coat of arms like stars and moons. The coat of arms is cast from steel, with rough workmanship and jagged edges, and it is not even cut into a perfect circle. Just such a thing, if it is placed in the empire, it is a stall, and it will be the end of selling a few copper coins.

If there's anything special about it, it's that it's contaminated with a little bit of the blood of a thousand nights. This badge was one of the ones that Eskar had used to dye Senya's blood. At that time, Thousand Nights thought that he wanted some tokens to use as proof of action, which was a common thing in Eternal Night and the Empire. The tokens of the real big people all have a unique atmosphere and cannot be forged.

Who would have thought that such a batch of shoddy things would be placed in the middle of the ancestral altar by the werewolf tribe and worshiped as holy relics?

Qianye picked up the badge and looked at it, then put it back on the altar. He also found that after such a long time, the blood qi he had left on the badge had not weakened, but had increased. Could it be that the worship of werewolves can also nourish the blood?

"What's going on?" asked Chiya again.

"You've seen that the werewolves throughout the Great Cloister region regard you as the true king. Your place in their minds is unique above that of your ancestors. So you don't need to worry about our loyalty. ”

Qianye sneered, "Do you think I'll believe it? What did you say to them to make this happen?"

Eskar knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, this is the case. Not only them, but my people and I believe that you are the true king who will lead us out of our troubles. ”

Qianye's voice was cold, and he asked, "What is the reason? I showed you the blood." In the upper continent, there is a feud between the blood clan and the werewolves, and the holy war has been fought for thousands of years, if not for 10,000 years. ”

"Your Majesty......"

"I don't want to hear that anymore. ”

Eskar choked, lowered her head, and said, "As you wish." ”

He paused slightly, as if to sort out his thoughts, but said: "The upper continent is too far away from us, the holy war is just a legend, and what the werewolves in the Great Corridor want is very simple, just to live. ”

Qianye said coldly, "What every ethnic group wants is to live. Tell me the point, or is that all you can say?"

Eskar said, "For the werewolves in the Great Corridor, survival is a very luxurious goal. For the survival of the tribal race, we have no choice, yes, there is no alternative to war. Either bring back the spoils of war on the battlefield, or die in battle to lighten the burden on the tribe. The Great Cloister can't afford to keep so many werewolves, and some people have to die in order for others to live. ”

This is a heavy and simple truth.

The struggle for living space is the eternal theme of the unquenchable war in the entire Eternal Night World, and the difference between camps, within their respective camps, and even within the same clan, is only in degree. And the tribal situation of the werewolves in the big cloister in front of them may be more tragic than in most places.

Xu Jingxuan suddenly said, "This is the reason why you attack Zheng Guo every year?"

Eskar nodded, "That's the most important reason. Otherwise, no one would want to attack a well-defended fortress. ”

Xu Jingxuan snorted, his face ugly. Every year at the turn of summer and autumn, werewolves will attack Zheng Guo, loot autumn grain, loot supplies, roar and roar away. Even with the help of fortresses, the casualties of the defenders were still not small. During the years of serving as the Lord of the West, many familiar faces were turned into names on tombstones every year.

In terms of casualty figures, werewolves still outnumber humans. Even if he sees the living environment of werewolves now, and knows that it is werewolves who want to reduce the population, for Xu Jingxuan, hatred is still hatred, and he can't give birth to half of sympathy.

A mercenary general suddenly said: "You werewolves can't support themselves, so they all surrender and let the adults support you?"

This sentence can be regarded as saying what many people are thinking at the moment, and staring at Eskar's gaze is not good.

Eskar looked up to meet the gaze of a thousand nights. His eyes are clear, and there is courage, pride, and honesty in him, but there is no panic and weakness that has been debunked by schemes.

"The reason for our submission is indeed to live. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, many mercenary generals scoffed at Eskar and glared angrily. Only the two deacons of the Frost Thunder Temple were expressionless, not knowing what they were thinking.

Eskar suddenly raised her voice and said, "But we don't want you to feed us, we werewolves are all born warriors, and our ancestors were born in the flames of war and died in the flames of war. We can feed ourselves! Even if we need a little help from you now, it's only because it's this season, at this time, when women are going to have babies and they need to eat more. I, on the other hand, want to make sure that the elderly can live long until after the grain harvest. ”

Qianye slowly heard some different meanings at this time, "You said an old person?"

Eska's voice turned low, and she pointed to the white-haired priests, saying, "In the Great Cloister, only the priests and witch doctors can live to this age. As soon as the rest of the tribe began to lose their strength, they had to go to the battlefield or go deep into the mountains to find a suitable cemetery. So you are in the tribe, you don't see the old man. Werewolves here are not qualified to grow old. ”

A few simple words, but extremely heavy.

Even Xu Jingxuan and the mercenary general were silent, and among the high-level Dark Fire present, they had a deeper feeling than those who were born in the Song Dynasty. In this dark world, the Terrans have always been a weak race, and in a small country like the Neutral Land and Zheng Guo, the fate of the low-level civilians and those who have lost the ability to fight is not much better than that of these werewolves. It was only in the powerful Qin Empire, which had stood for thousands of years, that there was peace in the native interior, and there was the word for recuperation.

Qianye looked at Eskar, her eyes a little wandering, as if she had seen an unknown void somewhere through him, or maybe a node in the long river of time.

After a while, Qianye said, "What do you want me to do?"
