Every day, the sun rises in the east.

And in this world, the first people to see it were the mountain tribesmen who lived in the western Pato Plateau.

With an average altitude of more than 3 kilometers, the Pato Plateau is considered the "top of the world" by the mountaineers.

It is separated from the Borderlands by a barren Gobi, and as you walk west along the Gobi, you can see a spectacular landscape: the earth seems to have suddenly broken here, and the ground on one side rises sharply, forming a plateau wall that stretches for thousands of miles.

Entering the plateau wall is the gateway to the Pato Plateau.

Whenever the morning sun rises, the outposts of the Pato Plateau will erect thousands of flags along the plateau wall, each flag painted with a different pattern, with animals, insects, natural phenomena, demons, gods and demons...

These flags seem to say, "Everything in the world originated in the Pato Plateau".

Today, the strong men of the outpost raised their flags as usual, looking at the sun that was about to rise in the east.

Suddenly, someone noticed that on the eastern horizon, against the background of the morning sun, two shadows were moving in the direction of the plateau.

The people of the mountain tribes were accustomed to moving in groups, and it was impossible to exist in a squad of only two people.

"What's that?"

"I don't know..."

The sentinels beat their drums and signaled to the guards below the plateau wall that there was an anomaly ahead.

When the guards heard the sound of the drums, they immediately picked up their spirits and took up all kinds of weapons and prepared to deal with the attackers.

Gradually, they saw clearly ...

It was two mountain men, who were riding gray wolves, moving towards the Pato Plateau.

One of them lost his left arm, and the other covered his eyes and rode on the back of a wolf, limp and shaky.

"Clansmen of the Ge clan!

The guards saw clearly that it was the Go's lieutenant general Goshu and his subordinate Golden, and they returned wounded, indicating that the Go's troops were under attack outside.

Seeing that he was about to reach the outpost, Ge Xiu finally couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed.

...

“... Our trip this time, a total of 500 people, mainly arrived at the three places of Chuantang, Chuermu, and Kailin, the first two places have collected enough resources, but the team suffered a joint attack in Kailin, so..."

Gosho gradually regained consciousness, and when he heard Golden's words, he should have reported the situation.

He slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in a large tent with four or five clan elders sitting around him.

"And then?"

A deep and fierce question was heard, and the speaker's anger could be heard.

Gosho knew that it was his elder brother, the chief of the Goe clan, who was "roaring in the abyss" Gobir questioning.

"We've been attacked," Gosho replied, shuddering from the ground.

He saw a person sitting next to his brother, who was the leader of the Ao clan, "Storm Gathering" Ormen, and wondered why there were foreigners present at the clan meeting, he pointed to Ormen and asked,

"Why is he here?"

"Don't be so sensitive, good warriors of the Ge clan..."Ormen stood up, walked to Ge Xiu's side, and patted him on the shoulder, "We are both from the Gaoshan tribe, the Ge clan is in trouble, and we, the Ao clan, are of course willing to help." ”

"Hmph," Goshu shook off Ormen's hand, very disdainful, "you weak clan is not worthy of helping us at all!"

"Gossi!" Gobir clapped the handrail and yelled, "Look at the way you look now, what qualifications do you have to say this!"

Ge Xiu understood that he had suffered a defeat and was blind in his left eye. However, he still looked down on the chief of the Ao clan in front of him, who was half a head shorter than him and looked very thin. In his opinion, this chief is just a rat who can play tricks. The mountain people worship strength, and if the clan chiefs are like this, then the entire clan will definitely be looked down upon.

The acquaintance Ormen put a cold ass with a hot face, and naturally obediently returned to his seat, listening to Gossiu continue,

"The savages of Kailin did not intend to hand over the food obediently as usual, they secretly set up an ambush... We were careless. ”

"Careless..."

Gobir sat on the clan chair and slowly hummed out these three words, and it could be heard that he was angry.

His rough fingers kept tapping on the armrest, his thick black eyebrows were locked on his forehead in an inverted figure-eight, and his eyes were fixed on Ge Xiu, as if he was thinking about whether to put him to death in front of his people.

Gosho didn't dare to look the chief in the eye, even though it was his brother too. He knew what this defeat meant.

Suddenly, Gobir got up and walked over to Gossiu's side. Ge Xiu lowered his head, as if he was ready to give his life.

Gobir pressed his hand on Gossi's head, causing him to gradually lift up and look at himself.

"This scar was left in the border war with Ilan," Gobir pointed to his bald head, with a long scar in the middle of it, "You should know that the weapons of the Ilan people are stained with poison..."

Gosho looked at the scar on his brother's head, a long, purple-black scar.

"Do you know what was going on my mind when the enemy's knife slashed my head?" Gobir leaned in close to Gosho and forced his eye on him.

Gosho shook his head, speechless.

"I was thinking, I'm hurt, if I withdraw at this time, I can go back to the Pato Plateau, I can find the wizard, I can survive. However, the life I picked up by escaping will also be spurned to death in front of the clan, and it will be stenched for thousands of years!" His tone became more and more excited, and his eyes became more and more fierce, "So, I fought to the last moment, until I lost consciousness. I believe that the heavens will always favor the brave, and when I wake up again, Ilan has withdrawn his troops, and the poison on my head has disappeared, and the wizard said to me, this is a miracle, but this miracle is a desperate effort, do you understand!"

Ge Xiu nodded nervously, he knew the tradition of the mountain tribes, the life of a deserter could only be used to sacrifice the warriors who died in battle.

"And you," Gobir pushed Gosher away and walked towards Golden, grabbing his severed arm with his hand, "You're a cripple now, what's the value of living?"

Golden endured the severe pain and did not dare to speak.

Ormen was watching the excitement of other people's clans, but he was not honest for a moment. He gave an elder sitting next to him a look, and the old fellow immediately understood,

"The chief of the Goe clan, Lord Gobir of the 'Abyss Roar'...", the elder immediately stood up and spoke, "The mountain people worship strength, regard death as home, and have never deserted, this time, if it sets a precedent..."

"I know!" Gobir snatched the words before he could finish, "I will never allow it... There are deserters in the clan!"

With that, Golden pulled out the scimitar behind the clan chair and walked towards Gosher.

"Great chief," Gosho knelt in front of Gobir, speaking in a hurry, panicked, "it's Ace's cavalry... It was they who united the wildlings to attack us!"

"Ace's cavalry..."Gobir was unmoved, holding his sword, and slowly walked towards Gosher, "Those little people have actually become your excuse!"

Gobir was determined, wielding his knife and preparing to end his brother's life.

"It's the Hunter!" Golden, who was next to him, also quickly knelt down, "Great Chief, 'Abyss Roar' Gobir, we have been attacked by the Hunter!"

Gobir's swinging of the knife suddenly stopped, and his mind was racing to determine whether the words of the man with the broken arm in front of him were reasonable.

Ormen put away a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, and Golden's answer was also unexpected by him.

"Say what you just said, waste..."Gobir put down his knife and walked over to Golden, grabbing him by the neck, "Do you want to add another charge of cheating the clan?"

"He's not lying, Great Chief—" Goshu next to him also spoke, "I know, it's not reasonable, but when I returned to Kailin, I did see the Crimson Arrow!"

Gobir was at a loss for a moment, and several clan elders on the seat looked at each other, and it was difficult to accept this reply.

He let go of Golden, returned to the clan chair, and slowly thrust the knife back.

"Lord Gobir," Ormen spoke, "I'm sure the warriors of the Gob clan won't lie, but this answer is too ridiculous for us to verify, unless..."

Ormen deliberately didn't finish his words, just waiting for Gobir to say it himself...

"Do you dare to swear by what you say in front of the mountain totem?"

After listening to Ormen's words, Gobir asked Gosho and Golden.

"I dare, great chief," Gordon puffed out his chest, "and I am willing to tell the truth what I have seen, in front of all the tribesmen, in front of the mountain totem!"

Gosher glanced at Ormen with his remaining right eye, and he was snickering contentedly, as if his goal had been achieved.

"Gobir, are you going to start a mountain meeting?" one of the elders stood up excitedly, as if trying to stop Gobir's madness.

"The mountain tribes have never encountered any threat in the Borderlands all these years, but this time, look at them!" Gobir pointed to the two deserters in front of him, "I don't believe that there is still an evil power in their mouths in this world!

The elders had nothing to say, they knew that Gobir had already made up his mind to launch the Mountain Council.

The Mountain Meeting is a council initiated by the leaders of the three major clans and is related to the major decisions of the entire mountain tribe. All major decisions involving the interests of the mountain tribes will be discussed at the mountain meeting. It was at this meeting that the mountain tribes made their first compromise decision to withdraw from the Four Nations War and no longer send troops to invade the borderlands, and it was at this meeting that the proposal to eliminate the Hunters was made, and they actively cooperated with the other three countries to advance it.

It was late at night, and a crescent moon hung high in the night sky, especially in the Pato Plateau, where the moon was particularly bright, and its snow-white light shone on the entire mountain tribe, guiding the people of the country at night.

At this time, all the mountain warriors were rushing to one place, Crescent Peak.

Crescent Peak is the closest place to the moon on the entire plateau. At its peak, stands a huge totem, which is inlaid with the skulls of the great tribal leaders of the past generations. And the mountain meeting was carried out under the totem. They believed that all major decisions related to the mountain tribes should be subject to the supervision of their ancestors.

This mountain meeting was launched in a hurry, which made everyone feel uneasy. Because, fifteen years have passed since the last meeting...
