Volume III Mountain Tribes 031 Ormen: The Conspiracy Before the War
"War is coming!"
The declaration of the "Elder of the Mountains" Bard has always echoed in the minds of the mountain people.
Although the world has been developing peacefully for fifteen years, the mountain people have never been afraid of war, because it is a good opportunity to prove their strength.
In the past few days, the sun is still rising in the east, and thousands of flags are still erected on the plateau wall on time... Nothing seems to have changed.
However, inside the plateau, many people are already ready to move...
"The declaration of war was made by Elder Bud, and I'm worried that Baya, the 'King of the Mountain', will raise an army..."
"This is the decision of the Mountain Meeting, and even the supreme leader must follow it. ”
"Old friend, our supreme leader has been in power for thirty years, do you think that under his leadership, the mountain tribe has made any progress?"
"I don't know, but the name of the 'King of the Mountain' is sacred and unshakable. ”
"Then you... Do you want to get that name?"
...
"Brother!"
Goshu rushed in from outside the tent, and was about to say something, only to find that there was a foreigner sitting next to his brother.
"Why are you here again, Ormen!" Goshu said, pointing to the foreigner.
"Goshy!" Gobir glared at his younger brother, "The lieutenant general of my clan should know how to be polite!"
"The chief of the Goe clan, 'Abyss Roars' Gobir," Goshu became respectful, "I just think that there shouldn't be frequent haunts from other clansmen in my clan's camp!"
"Don't mind too much, little general, I'm not the kind of person who is boring to myself..."Ormen stood up and gestured with a smile, "I'm talking to the chief of the Goe clan about sending troops to Ace. It's in the interests of the whole mountain, and it needs to be treated with caution, right?"
"I don't want to hear your arguments," Gosho said, glancing at Ormen, "I have clan affairs to discuss with the chief. ”
"Then I'll retire first, and we'll discuss the matter of sending troops later. ”
Olmen was about to leave after saying goodbye to Gobir, and he left a meaningful smile as he passed by Gossi.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" asked Gobirle as he waited for Ormen to come out of the tent.
"Gordon is my bodyguard, why are you exiling him?" asked Gosho angrily.
"He's a deserter from the Kailin War! Back in the mountains, there are only two paths before him: either sacrifice the soul of the dead warrior, or be exiled, understand!"
"What about me, you can keep me, why can't you keep my guards, besides, he lost an arm for the sake of war!" Goshu was unrelenting, and it seemed that he was very unhappy with this decision.
Gobir stood up, suppressed his anger, walked up to Gossi, pulled him by the collar and said,
"You should be grateful for the identity of 'Chief's Brother', otherwise you would be a corpse by now, understand!"
Ge Xiu didn't dare to argue anymore, because he also knew that his life was almost over.
"Is there anything else you don't like!" Gobir let go of his hand and returned to the clan chair.
"We... When will the troops be dispatched?" Ge Xiu's confidence weakened significantly.
"I don't know, wait for news from the Ba clan. ”
"The Ba clan...," Goshu sneered, "It's not their clansmen who died, do you think they'll be in a hurry?"
"Ge Xiu, the deputy general of the Ge clan..."Gobir's fingers kept tapping on the handrail to ease the anger in his heart, "The Ba clan is now the ruling clan of the mountain tribe, and the 'king of the mountain' didn't give an order, so we waited, understand!"
"The 'King of the Mountain' is old. Gosho spoke of his ambitions, "He can't lead Takayama to prosperity. ”
"Gossi!" Gobir slapped the armrest and glared at his brother angrily, "Let me hear these words come out of your mouth again, and I'll keep you shut up forever!"
It seems that Ge Xiu's words have stimulated the chief, and he does not dare to continue to talk about himself, so he can only leave without saying a word.
Leaving the chief's tent, Gosho's heart was still angry. He had always thought that the Ba clan had long been lonely, Baya was no longer able to lead the tribe, and the other clans were reluctant to challenge the position of the great leader, including his brother, who was the strongest warrior in the entire clan, which puzzled him.
"The lieutenant general of the Ge clan doesn't seem to be in a good mood..."
Just as Gosho was about to leave the camp, a familiar voice suddenly appeared.
Gosho turned his head and saw that it was Ormen.
"Why haven't you left yet!" he still looked down on the little chieftain.
"Because I found out that you are similar to me, I wanted to talk to you. There was a hint of cunning in Ormen's eyes.
"Phew!" Goshu disdained, "Do you want to compare your fists and see if they look like them?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about opinions," Ormen hurriedly explained.
"What's the point of view?"
"Regarding the opinion of the ruler of the mountain tribes..."Ormen deliberately stopped talking, "This is still your camp, do you want to go out with me?"
Gosho understood what the chief was trying to say, and he stopped arguing and obediently followed Ormen out of the camp.
"Why are you helping me?"
Gosho asked, after they avoided anyone altogether.
"What can I help you?"
"You know!" Goshu didn't have much patience for his knowingly asked, "At the Mountain Meeting, why did you help us convince the 'King of the Mountain' to send troops?"
"Oh, that's it... Ormen disagreed, "The army of the Goshi clan has suffered heavy casualties outside, which is intolerable for the entire high mountain, I just did what all high mountain people do." ”
"No, the Ba clan doesn't think so. The dissatisfaction in Ge Xiu's heart was aroused again, "They actually want to stop there!"
"The deputy general of the Ge clan, Ge Xiu," Ormen looked at Ge Xiu, his eyes full of cunning, "Do you think that the current 'King of the Mountain' can make our mountains stronger?"
"What do you mean?" Although Ge Xiu knew it, he was still more cautious in the face of foreigners.
"We all know that. Ormen said bluntly, "Baya has been reigning for thirty years, has there been any development of the mountain tribes? Our territory, our resources, do not allow to feed so many warriors, but our great leader has not taken any action..."
Gosho listened to Ormen's words and was silent. Although he had just complained to his brother, he still couldn't completely let down his guard in the face of foreigners.
"It's been thirty years," Ormen continued, "and the new and old warriors of the mountains have long since changed, but there is a man in the position of 'king of the mountain,' a man who does nothing. He's old, and he doesn't have the ability to lead the mountains!"
"Do you want to start a lord challenge?" asked Goshu.
"No, it shouldn't be me who sits in that position. Ormen looked at his weak body and said, "You also know that with my body, I am not qualified to challenge. ”
"Then why are you saying this to me?"
"I think it's your brother who has the ability to lead Takayama now. Ormen leaned in and whispered, "The title of 'King of the Mountain' should be given to the chief of the Goe clan, Gobir!"
Gosho's heart suddenly raced, and he seemed to be able to peek into Ormen's ambitions.
"My brother... The chief of the Goe clan has no intention of competing for the position of chief," Goshu replied, "and he respects our 'King of the Mountain' very much. ”
"Then if he had to choose between his clan and the current Grand Chief, which one would he choose?" Ormen asked a very tricky question.
Gosho remained silent, not knowing how to answer.
"Our border war with Ilan, and our trip to the Borderlands to find resources, it will always be the Ge clan who rush to the front, right?" Ormen deliberately accentuated his tone, trying to arouse Ge Xiu's emotions, "What about the Ba clan, they are the main clan of the mountains, but they have always let you charge. When your warriors are dead, you won't be able to threaten their position, you know!"
Gosho clenched his fists tightly, and he seemed to be persuaded by Ormen.
"Look, this time the troops, the vanguard formation, must also be your Go's warriors!" Ormen continued to stimulate Gossi, "If you are defeated and flee again, you will not be as lucky as this time." Even if Gobir wants to protect you, Baya will cut off your head!"
"The warriors of the Ge clan will never be defeated!" Ge Xiu grabbed Ormen's neck and glared at him, "After this war, I will let my brother sit in the position of the great chief, the name of 'King of the Mountain' should have changed hands a long time ago!"
With that, Gosho pushed open the Orr Gate and walked straight back to the camp.
Ormen looked at Gosho's back, and he knew that his purpose had been achieved.
In this power-revering tribe, Ormen is thin but able to sit on the position of chief, and he does have a unique point. He understood that the Ao clan was the weakest of the three clans, and if he wanted to compete for the right to speak, he had to rely on the power of a certain clan. If the Ba clan and the Ge clan are closely related, then the entire tribe will have nothing to do with him. And now there is a God-given opportunity, and the two major ethnic groups are full of contradictions, which seems to have given him a stage to play.
He will not give up this hard-won opportunity, although he is small, his ambition is greater than anyone else.
