Chapter 471: Making a Choice
On the first day after Svein's departure, the Balanced Cult had already appeared in large numbers around Tubutai.
On the third day, all exits to Tubutai were blocked, but access was still unrestricted.
Within the tribe.
Bang!
Morihei slammed his fists on the table with anger on his face:
"What do those cowards mean by only daring to block us? You have what it takes to fight Noxus! ”
In front of him, there was Golmud who was drinking tea, and the old patriarch with an equally unsightly face.
"Patriarch, do we want to rush into a wave? It's not a way for that group of cowards to block up like this! Morihira said aggrievedly.
Of all the people, he was the most uncomfortable.
Long before Svein arrived, he had personally approached the Sect of Equilibrium and asked if they wanted to work together.
As a result, he didn't receive a reply, and was blocked back by someone with a sentence of 'own arrangement'.
When Svein left, the group immediately appeared. Not to chase Svein, but to block them.
Just now, he went to theorize, but the other party suspected that he was colluding with Noxus.
If it hadn't been for that guy in Golmud who had stopped him, he would have wanted to slash that damn cultist with a single sword.
He felt like a clown, and the Equilibrium Sect had never looked down on him.
"It's not time to stir up, the anger of the people in the Kuzan area has been stirred up by the Equilibrium sect." The old patriarch shook his head.
"What does Noxus do to us?"
Mori was dissatisfied, "What's more, the Rand Forest and Kuri Hill were really done by Noxus?" ”
"I don't think so!" He snorted coldly, "I think it's a good thing that the people of the Equilibrium Sect did secretly. There is no way to take Noxus, but to do some small actions like this. ”
engulf
The entry and exit of the tribesmen had not been hindered for the time being, and they had also sent people to the Rand Forest and the Kurui Mountains, which had indeed been destroyed, as the Sect of Equilibrium had claimed.
As for the spirits of nature spoken of by the Sect of Equilibrium, those are legendary beings.
Ordinary people had never come into contact with them at all, even the old patriarch had only heard of them, and they had no way of verifying whether what the Equilibrium Sect said was true.
As for Noxus, they obviously won't really ask either.
"Did Noxus do it, does it matter?"
Golmud sat on the chair, looking completely unworried, and even leisurely sipped the tea in the cup.
Morihei frowned and subconsciously retorted:
"How it doesn't matter, they're just slandering!"
"What did they slander us?" Golmud asked rhetorically.
"They say we have collusion with Noxus!" Morihei replied aggrievedly.
"Don't we?" Golmud laughed dumbly.
"Huh!?"
Morihei was choked by this sentence, and only said naturally:
"We are collaborative! It's to strengthen yourself with the power of Noxus. ”
"Will anyone else believe it?" Golmud raised an eyebrow.
Why didn't they believe it! That group of **, Svein didn't dare to speak when he came..."
A large paragraph of beautiful words erupted from Morihira's mouth.
It's not that he doesn't understand what Golmud said, but this kind of thing happens to him, and it's always unpleasant.
"Do you have any workaround?" The old patriarch looked at Golmud.
"Just let it go." Golmud shook his head, "Whether we want to admit it or not, but since we accepted Noxus's terms, we have no choice. ”
"The people of Kuzan won't trust us, and it's useless for us to prove our innocence. Because they simply wouldn't believe that the top three rulers of the Empire had come to our tribe just to achieve simple business cooperation. ”
"How do I feel... With a simple business cooperation, we are no longer Ionians. Morihira muttered.
"yes." Golmud admits in a humble manner, "This is the Yang Scheme, as long as that Grand Commander comes to us, as long as he does a simple thing, he can completely break our ties with the rest of the Kuzan region." ”
"I knew I would have rejected them." Morihei regretted it a little.
"We can't say no." The old patriarch shook his head, "The consequences of refusal are simply unacceptable to us, not only offending Noxus, but also offending the Equilibrium Sect. ”
"Why is this still related to the Equilibrium Sect?" Morihira was a little confused.
"It's very simple, the Equilibrium Sect has let go of its cruel words before, so in order to avoid misfire, it is impossible for them to send people of weight to our tribe to spy on us."
Golmud spread his hands, "The entire tribe is our own people, how can we believe whatever we say." ”
"Do you think Noxus is like a great good man, and we won't react if we refuse?" Golmud asked.
Moritaira hesitated, "I think I'll retaliate..."
"You've been in contact with them and they've all said that, even if Noxus doesn't retaliate, do you think the Sect of Equilibrium will trust our wording?" Golmud asked rhetorically.
"Uh... There is no solution to this co-authorship. Morihira was a little confused.
"When there is a crisis of trust between the two sides, then what we do is wrong."
Golmud sighed:
"Just because... We are too weak! ”
"Are you weak..."
Sen Ping clenched his fists unwillingly, this feeling of obviously not doing anything wrong, and finally having to bear the infamy, really made him extremely uncomfortable.
Compared with the contradictions between them and the Vastaya people, the uncomfortable feeling brought by external pressure even made him feel breathless.
"If we don't do anything, will they let us go? I'm against that! ”
After a long time, Sen Ping slowly raised his head and looked at Golmud unswervingly.
Seeing Sen Ping's appearance, Golmud couldn't help but be stunned: "What do you want to do?" ”
"They dare to surround us, it's not that they think we're weak!"
Morihei had a ruthless look in his eyes:
"I suggest using the tribal heritage and turning it all into current combat power."
"Are you serious?" Golmud sat up straight and looked at Morihira with some surprise.
He had long known that Mori Ping's character would be unbearable, but he didn't expect that it was only the third day, and he had already pushed Mori Ping to the extreme.
Now there are many complaints in the clan, and he has heard a lot these days, Vastaya is used to the prejudices of the Ionians, and it is fine with him and Lusa's appeasement.
On Ionia's side, some of the fiercers had already clashed with the Balanced Sect, and he knew all these things.
These things are all pressed on Senpei now.
However, he originally thought that Morihei would only go to a catharsis by himself, but he didn't expect to think of using the tribal heritage.
As a tribe with a long heritage, it naturally also has a collection of countless precious treasures.
Some are valuable, some are magical, and some can help them survive disasters.
Each of those things was worth far more than what you could get from trading with Noxus.
"I'm serious. Since they can provoke, don't blame us for fighting back. ”
Mori Ping took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the old patriarch:
"Patriarch, I know you may not approve of it. But forgive my willfulness, and this time I'm exercising my elder rights. ”
"Use the clan heritage to find Noxus in exchange for enough power to compete with the Equilibrium Sect, who is in favor and who is against?"
Morihei looked around at several elders and voted directly.
The Ionian elders behind him, except for a few older ones, all voted in favor.
And Elder Vastaya, after seeing Golmud's approval, also chose to approve.
Moripei's proposal was passed almost without hindrance.
"Although I agree with you, there is one thing I still want to declare."
Golmud's expression was serious, and external pressure had brought him and Ionia together, but that didn't mean that their contradictions had disappeared.
"I think you should take it upon yourself this time, and I will go to Noxus with you first with a group of clan backgrounds, and discuss with them first."
"No problem, can you go straight to Grace Harbor?"
Morihira readily agreed, and now he just wanted to teach the Equilibrium Sect a lesson.
"No, let's go directly to the Immortal Fortress through the Meredith Chamber of Commerce!" Golmud said seriously, "There, we can have more choices." ”
After a few words, the two of them explained the matter properly, and when they finally looked at the old patriarch, they also saw him nod.
They thought that the old patriarch was just forced to agree, but when they looked at the two of them when they discussed, the old patriarch's eyes were only relieved.
