Chapter 60: Exhortation
The Minotaurs are still drawing circles non-stop these days. He also forcibly requisitioned a lot of precious materials from the elders of the Snow Plains Tribe. They meant that the facilities constructed of these materials would enhance the stability of the Passage between the Two Realms.
But according to Gail's observations. Many minotaur soldiers secretly kept the more valuable materials for themselves. It seems that in another world, the value of cherished materials is just as expensive.
An elder who had watched Gael grow up walked slowly, and he looked at the future king of the tribe on crutches and asked, "Prince, your father told you that you had important matters to discuss in the past. ”
Gail nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll be over right away." ”
The northern snowfields are nomadic and the harsh climate leaves them without a fixed place to live. They often live in tents. These tents are often made of wool and serve as shelter for them for many years.
Originally, the resources in the snow field could make their tribe barely survive. Their ancestors were also able to live freely by hunting.
However, as the invasion of the Empire disrupted their peaceful daily life, the nobles often had to pay a large amount of fur and livestock to satisfy their appetite in order to enjoy the luxury of the snowfields under the jurisdiction of the Empire.
The people of the Snow Plains tribe relied on everything they relied on for the winter was plundered by the nobles, and they lost the resources they needed to survive, and the population of the tribe gradually decreased. Even so, the taxes of the empire increased year by year.
Eventually, the horde leaders killed the governor of the snowfields, and under the leadership of Gael's father, the tribes formed an alliance and began to unite against the Empire's rule. But because of years of fighting, the old leader, who was covered with scars, was no longer strong. After a sudden serious illness, the leader of the Snowfield Tribe was replaced by Prince Gael.
The size of the tribe in the snowy fields was nowhere near the size of the city of St. Caron, and Gale walked for a moment to the king's tent where his father rested.
As soon as Gail entered the tent, a wave of heat hit his face. Because after his father became seriously ill, his body could no longer stand the cold, and he had to rely on many torches every day to maintain the temperature, so that his condition would not worsen day by day.
Seeing that his father, who was majestic in the past, is now so weak, Gail is full of emotion. The original hesitation in my heart to summon reinforcements from the otherworldly people disappeared again.
He looked at his sleeping father and shouted softly, "Father, I'm here!"
The old king slowly opened his eyes, showed a kind smile and said, "Child, come and sit down!"
When Gale sat down, he turned to look at his only son and said, "Have you cooperated with the Duke of Nicholas of the Empire? I don't know what kind of magic you used to summon a group of monsters? Nikolai is an old fox, you have to be careful with him!"
Seeing that his father already knew everything he had done, Gai'er had to bow his head and admit: "Yes, father, although the empire has begun to decline, our strength is not enough to compete with them, so I agreed to Nikolai's plan, I originally wanted to bring reinforcements from inside and outside to attack the inside and outside of the empire, and we would divide the entire continent equally with the other world in the future, but I didn't expect a sudden change." ”
"Ahem, cough, cough!" The king coughed a few times when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Child, you are still too young, can you still believe what the people from the other world say? You don't know what their world is like, so you easily agreed to their request, our blood forces are still too weak, and negotiating terms with them is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger." ”
Gail showed an expression of refusal to admit defeat and said, "Father, you are still old, and you don't have the ambition you had before. Since your illness, our war against the Empire has been relatively smooth. But this is the empire has not rested. Once the empire is ready, it will be a catastrophe for our snowy fields. Therefore, when we cooperate with them to destroy the empire, our strength will increase greatly, and we will be able to compete with the otherworldly people when the time comes. ”
The old king opened his mouth to say something, but Gale got up and said impatiently: "Father, rest well, now I am in charge of all the affairs of the tribe." So it's up to me to decide the future of the snowfield!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gael brushed his sleeves away, lifted the curtain and brought a cold wind from outside. After a long time, a long sigh came from the tent.
The angry Gail came to the clearing, looking at the busy construction camp soldiers, his impetuous heart gradually calmed down. He picked up the big knife of martial arts practice and began to wield the machete on the playground.
"You're pretty good at swordsmanship!" said a loud voice from behind Gail.
Gail turned his head when he heard this, and it turned out to be the leader of the Minotaurs. He put down the knife in his hand and asked, "Is there anything you have to do here?"
I've been busy for the past few days since I came to you, preparing for the arrival of the next horde. , I'm almost busy today, and I want to take a break, just in time to see you practicing martial arts. ”
Gale looked at the sturdy Minotaur leader, and his mood that had just calmed down gradually stirred, he looked at the leader and said, "Do you want to have a game?"
The leader shook his head and said, "You humans are too petite, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand my full blow, okay? I'll give you a hand." ”
Gail also shouted loudly, "You can come and have a try!"
The Minotaur leader moved his muscles, picked up a large knife and jumped into the middle of the field, slashing it down with a single blow.
