Chapter 12: The Wolf and the Embarrassment
The White Wolf Patriarch Najib was walking around in the gorgeous tent, and he was in a terrible mood!
He had accepted the wise man's advice and sent someone to Tarun, the leader of the Red Wolf Clan, to ask his disabled son Carey to marry his daughter Pamela. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info For this, he is even ready to give a bride price of a thousand cows.
Such a rich bride price had never been before, and he was very confident that the old fat man who was greedy for money would surely accept it.
As a result, the red wolf patriarch was greedy for money, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the happiness of his only daughter and agreed to his proposal. But when Carey took a thousand cattle and drove to the Red Wolf tribe with great force. Taron's daughter, Pamela, actually beat Carey to a serious injury, and even directly crippled him, and he could no longer be a man. That hateful woman actually declared in public: "If you want to be my man, you must first be able to defeat me and make me surrender." If a cripple like you can't even beat your own woman, what face do you have to ask for a marriage?"
Men have self-esteem, especially for orcs who value honor. Although Carey was wounded, the tribal elders who had gone with him could not get angry............ Because they also asked themselves, it's too embarrassing that even a woman can't be beaten, and it's all Carey himself who is not angry.
And so they came back with a thousand cows!
Carey lay in his tent screaming and crying, begging his father to make his decisions. Even Najib was disgusted when he saw it...... If it weren't for his own son, he would have the heart to kill Carey directly.
It's just one son, and he has several, and in all fairness, Najib doesn't care. But he felt that his majesty had been humiliated, and he was furious about it.
"Patriarch, don't be too angry, maybe that's a good thing. An old man who was a little thin, hunched over his waist, with his hands curled up as if he was disabled, whispered behind him.
"What do you say, Bayom? This is a good thing? I have become a laughing stock on the grassland, what is a good thing?" said Najib irritably, but he did not get angry at the old man.
"Don't you think that the Red Wolf Clan has given us an excellent excuse this time? Have you forgotten your ambition? The wolf tribe who wants to dominate the entire Deria savannah has an opportunity for us to make a move, and it is justified. Even if the other wolf tribes are jealous, there is no reason to stop us?" said the old man named Bayom, his modest eyes shining with a sly light.
"You mean...... We took this opportunity to annex the Red Wolf Tribe?" asked Najib as he paused, looking at Bayom.
"Originally, my plan was to gain their support by marrying the Red Wolf Clan, and then choose the weak Wolf Clan to attack. Since they don't know each other, simply declare war on them directly. As long as we annex the Red Wolf Tribe, our strength will increase even more, and even if the other tribes see that the situation is not good and want to unite, we will not be afraid. Bayom said.
From a young age, Najib had ambitions to become the king of the wolf clan in the steppes of Derria. After so many years of accumulating strength, he already has the strength to crush any tribe, so he naturally began to be unable to hold it back. But after all, the matter was too big, and he hesitated.
"Don't worry, don't forget that we have helpers. Beron of the Golden Wolf Tribe accepted our advice and has poisoned his father and driven out his younger brother, and although he has become the patriarch, his methods have not been honorable. And we will take his handle, and when the time comes, let him send troops together, and give some benefits at will, with his reckless character, we will definitely not object. β
Najib nodded in agreement. Although the Golden Wolf Tribe is the weakest on the grassland, they also have their own strong strength, that is, a thousand wolf cavalry. Know that the Zodiac Wolf is a rare and powerful mount. Even the White Wolf Clan, which has 30,000 people, although there are 5,000 warriors, there are only 1,000 wolf cavalry among them, and the rest of the warriors are all on horseback.
If you get the assistance of the Thousand Wolf Riders of the Golden Wolf Clan, it is not difficult to defeat the Red Wolf Clan, and you don't even need to pay too much price.
So Najib accepted the advice of the old wise man Bayom and sent someone to invite Beron to the White Wolf tribe to discuss important matters. Sure enough, Beron was tempted by the conditions given by Najib and agreed to help them attack the Red Wolf Clan without hesitation.
Originally, everything was planned, and the troops were going to be sent in a few days. Suddenly, Belon anxiously came to see him and told the bad news that the Golden Wolf Tribe had changed.
This time, not only Najib had a headache, but even the old wise man Bayom shook his head............ The muddy Peron, who has been in control of the tribe for more than a year, was easily regained after Lambas returned. He's just as incompetent as the White Wolf Clan's cousin Carey!
There is no choice but to help the Golden Wolf Clan quell the civil strife first, and then discuss the action to conquer the Red Wolf Tribe. ............
........................ Dividing line ............
Chen Tang and Lambas waited for a few days, but they still didn't see Veron coming back. He was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Lambas, is Peron really as short-tempered and arrogant and incompetent as you say? According to such a temperament, when he learned the news that the tribe was seized, he must have rushed back to fight as soon as he could?"
Lambas was also confused: "I'm Belon's younger brother, we've been together for decades, how can I not know him?
"Lambas, do you think it could be that someone from the White Wolf Clan gave him an idea and persuaded him not to be impulsive?" Chen Tang thought of this.
Lambas nodded violently, exclaiming in frustration, "yes, how did I forget that old man of the White Wolf Clan, if that cunning guy helps Veron with his ideas, we will not be in a good situation." β
Seeing Chen Tang's puzzled expression, Lambas explained: "In addition to the white wolf clan's patriarch Najib being a smart man, there is also a more cunning old guy, which is their wise man Bayom, a very special embarrassment among our wolf clan. Within the White Wolf Clan, Old Badmum is respected by everyone, just like you are within the Golden Wolf Clan. His cunning and ruthlessness are known throughout the Deria steppe. β
met his peers, Chen Tang said in his heart.
"Let's talk about this old Badjom, we may have overlooked this from the beginning. β
"At that time, Najib was not the patriarch of the White Wolf Clan, but only the most inconspicuous son of the former patriarch. Later, for some reason, he rescued one of his crippled shepherd slaves and promoted him to be his confidant. Only then did he suddenly stand out from the crowd of competitors and eventually became the new patriarch. And that shepherd slave was Bayom. Back then, the White Wolf Clan's struggle for the position of patriarch was very noisy for a long time, and several of the most promising and powerful heirs were finally suppressed inexplicably one after another, either accidentally dying or automatically withdrawing from the competition. It wasn't until Najib became the patriarch that the dust settled, and he immediately declared Bayom the wise man of the tribe. People suddenly woke up to the fact that it was this inconspicuous-looking cripple who secretly gave him advice, and finally won the position of patriarch. β
Lambas said: "This is not the end, I heard my father say that at that time, the White Wolf Clan was not the only one in the Deria Prairie. The Black Wolf Clan used to be as powerful as them, but there was a war between the two major tribes, and with Bayom's resourcefulness, the White Wolf Clan finally won. Najibwe's fame has been greatly enhanced, and the Black Wolf Clan has collapsed, and now it is a little stronger than our Golden Wolf Clan. β
A guy who needs to be taken seriously, Chen Tang has an inference. Thinking of his current situation, he knew that he couldn't wait like this anymore.
"Lambas, if I'm right, I'm afraid Beron will come back with reinforcements from the White Wolf Clan. Even if you gain the support of all your clansmen, our chances of victory will be slim. β
"What then?" asked Lambas, who also knew the seriousness of the matter.
Chen Tang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Is there only Belon with reinforcements, we can also go to find reinforcements." Lambas, have you heard that joke about the recent rumors in the grasslands? is that the joke that Pamela of the Red Wolf Clan deposed her fiancΓ©?"
Oh, that's it, Lambas nodded: "Of course I've heard that that idiot-like Kairi of the White Wolf Clan actually wants to fight Pamela's idea, it's really wishful thinking, and he deserves it." "Obviously, no man wants to see the beautiful prairie ruby spoiled by him.
"Hehe, if I say I gave Pamela the idea, do you believe it?"
Lambas' eyes widened, "You gave him the idea?...... Could it be the last time you went to ask for a shaman?"
"Yes, I just thought it was fun, but I didn't expect it to be a windfall. It seems that I myself am going to marvel at my own wisdom. Chen Tang said with a smile, his expression was a little strange.
"You mean...... Since the Red Wolf Clan has offended the White Wolf Clan, let's go to the Red Wolf Clan for help?Deal with Belon and the possible reinforcements of the White Wolf Clan?" Lambas asked.
"No, it's not a call for help, it's for us to form an alliance with the Red Wolf Clan. This must be clarified. Chen Tang corrected Lambas's words.
"Now they shouldn't know our disadvantaged situation, let's just say in the past that it is to repay you for the kindness of detoxification, and are ready to enthusiastically help the Red Wolf Clan, do you think they will be grateful to us?
Lambas didn't know what to mutter, tilted his head to look at Chen Tang, and couldn't help but say, "I found out that you are fortunate to be our wise man, otherwise you will be played to death by you......!"
Okay, that's it, that's a compliment!" Chen Tang thought.
