Chapter Seventy-Five, The Iron Law of Blood Rock 4
Snow is still falling on the northern snowfields, but spring is already here.
If you dig open the snow layer under your feet, you will find that life is already in birth, and the buds of the grass have already emerged.
It's been more than two months since the little wolf girl came out of the Forest of Death, and it's been a month since she was separated from her beloved Chris. She remembered the body temperature and smell of the human men, who were too familiar with each other's bodies on the way back.
Now her people found the little princess even more joyful and stranger.
Sometimes she would giggle all day for no reason, sometimes she would sleep all day at once, and her appetite would become larger. These would not have happened to her at this age.
So her grandma thought she was sick.
Insistent on not being willing, she had the Wolf High Priest, the witch doctor of the clan, examine her body and come to a conclusion that stunned both of them.
Alexia is pregnant.
To her mother's and high priest's horror, upon questioning, the little wolf girl revealed that the child's father was a human.
The mother of the leader of the wolf clan, an old woman who had been strong all her life, burst into tears.
And the high priest hastened to gather the surrounding guards and make them swear that they will not tell anyone what happened.
Anyone, including their own family.
The little wolf girl was confined to her mother's small tent, not even allowed to eat or drink, and not even Cage's children were allowed to come and play.
"She's sick and needs to recuperate."
This is what her mother and high priest told the people.
They are waiting for Cage's return, waiting for the leader of the wolf clan who has gone to the territory of the Minotaur to return, and come up with a safe way to save the little wolf girl's life.
Perhaps, the wise Cage will send her to the human world to hide, and then tell her people that she is sick and dead.
That's what they look forward to.
In the midst of the hope, Cage finally returned.
He got his wish from the wisdom of the High Priest of the Minotaur: whether the Eton family is strong or not, they all need allies, and the subhuman tribe is the best choice.
The worries were solved, and he was in a good mood.
But as soon as he jumped off the wolf, a piece of news broke him.
His dear sister is pregnant with a Terran child.
What made him even more helpless was that when he learned the news, he was accompanied by Carl Bloodhoof, the leader of the Minotaurs.
The Minotaurs are the elders of the Northern Bloodrock sub-human race, they are kind, simple, and tenacious...
And never lies.
This means that the matter of the little wolf girl's union with humans will be known to the entire alliance, and he will not even have a chance to secretly send his sister away.
Cage knows the consequences of violating the iron law of the Northern Blood Rock.
Spit on and dead.
Because all the tribes felt that this was a stain on the glory of the bloody struggle of the ancestors.
"No..."
Cage, who was already in his forties, grabbed the silver hair on his head and squatted down in pain, helpless like a child.
Carl Bloodhoof, who came with him, grew his mouth, and even Johnnie and Kano, who had been bickering all the time, forgot about their quarrel.
...................
As soon as Chris entered the territory of the Northern Blood Rock Werewolf Clan, he was surrounded by various weapons.
Ironically, these weapons were all shipped from the Eaton family.
"I want to see your chief."
He said there was not a trace of fear.
The werewolves didn't answer, just glanced at each other, still pointing their swords at Chris's vital point.
Everything in the werewolf territory has not changed, it is still a rolling tent, and it is still a busy scene. The difference is that the last time I visited Chris, I received a sincere smile, and now I have an angry look.
This human has scourged Alexia!
That's what all the werewolves think.
When he saw Cage, the former enthusiastic werewolf leader pursed his lips tightly and looked angry.
If eyes could kill, Chris had died many times.
"Chief Cage, I'm here to pick up Alexia, the bride price of the Eaton family is ......"
"Get out!"
Before he could finish speaking, Cage replied with a huge fist.
Chris didn't dodge, so he was hit hard in the face and fell to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up again, "I'm not going to go, until I get her." Alexia and I are already husband and wife! ”
"Don't mention her name! Selfish human beings! You don't deserve to mention her name! ”
The leader of the werewolves roared like a wounded beast, and his fist quickly landed on the human, "Ancestor is above, you want to pick her up?" Haha, you want to pick her up! You damn it! You've killed her, and you want to take her? ”
"No!"
Chris's eyes quickly turned red, "What did you do to Alexia!?" ”
He struggled to fend off the werewolf's attacks and fought back, before being knocked to the ground again and again until he could no longer get up.
"You killed my sister, you made Alexia a piece of ashes on the altar! Get out of our territory, or I'll skin you alive on the altar!" ”
Cage kicked the human in the stomach hard.
It's like kicking a wild dog and making it roll around like a gourd several times.
"Throw him out of the territory, and if he dares to take a step further, screw his head off!"
He instructed the werewolf man beside him, the one who had fought with Chris at the campfire dinner.
Chris had been lying at the junction of the wolf territory for a long time.
It wasn't until the snowflakes almost covered him that he got up the next day and walked away with grief and despair.
He didn't even know that Alexia already had a child in her belly.
their children.
The Eaton territorial guards had been deployed to the foot of the Alps, and they had been gathered for ten days, all with caution and the hesitation of imminent war.
In Henry Sr.'s study, Kafka and his father were silent staring at the burning fireplace.
Kafka, who knew his children well, did not go to the Terrible Ze to ask for help from the snake people.
Soon, the door was pushed open.
The cold wind of early spring followed Chris in.
"Grandpa, father, if I were strong, Alexia wouldn't be dead, would I? The subhuman tribes agreed to marry our family, right? ”
The young man's face was haggard, and his voice was bitter.
Even if there were ten strong men in the Eton family, the tribes of the northern blood rock would not give in.
Poor child, unless you are a demigod and have the strength to exterminate them.
Old Henry knew the answer, but didn't want to strike him any more; And the old man also knew that in fact, Chris also had the answer in his heart, and the reason why he asked was just to find a reason.
So he patted Chris on the shoulder as he held his head and sobbed.
"Yes, kid. Strength determines fate, and interests determine everything. We don't have the strength to make them submit, and we don't let them sell the interests of their faith. ”
"Grandpa, I want to go to the South, Sin City."
Chris stood up, his tear-stained face was already stubborn, "When I come back, our family will have a strong man." ”
"Go ahead!"
The old man sighed deeply, "Grandpa will try to live and wait for you to come back." ”
Kafka hugged his son with his chubby hands, "Whether you are strong or not, you have to come back!" Your mother's life continues on you, and no matter what happens, you can't give up easily. ”
"Father, I'll be back."
The voice still echoed in the empty study, and there was no trace of the person.
Alexia is not dead, at least not yet.
She was now taken by Cage to the middle of the northern Blood Rocks, where she was locked up in a small tent guarded by several high-ranking warriors, none of whom were werewolves.
She became pregnant with a human child, and the incident was a great earthquake for the entire tribal alliance.
The leaders of all the tribes have gathered at the meeting point of the Alliance, and they will negotiate a conclusion that will decide the fate of the little wolf girl.
Because the identity of the little wolf girl is not ordinary.
She is the sister of the leader of the werewolf clan, and the wolf clan, the Tyranny Eagle Clan, and the Dire Crocodile Clan have always advanced and retreated, and the three races together account for almost half of the entire northern Blood Rock population.
Also because the father of the child in the womb of the little wolf girl is not ordinary.
He is the heir of the Eton family, the provider of weapons throughout the northern Bloodrock, and has the protection of the snake people, so that the tribes do not want to start a war easily.
It took almost three months to find out about her pregnancy, it took a month to get to the council of the Alliance, another month to wait for all the tribal leaders to arrive, and now they have spent three months arguing and voting countless times.
So the little wolf girl's belly is already very big.
Werewolves, like humans, were only more than nine months pregnant, and now that eight months have passed, they have to make a decision.
The leaders of the alliance were divided into two factions.
The leaders of the fox, cat, and rabbit tribes are determined to execute the little wolf girl, so that the glory of the ancestors will not be trampled on; The leaders led by the Storm Eagle Clan suggested that the overall situation should be the priority, so that the tribe could reproduce better.
As for Cage, as the brother of the party, he has no say in this matter.
But everyone knows that the Storm Hawks are staunch supporters of werewolves.
One side adheres to tradition, the other looks to the future, both sides take advantage, and neither can convince the other.
Eventually, all eyes were on Carl Bloodhoof.
The Minotaur is the elder on the blood rock in the north, has the most just reputation, has the most convincing appeal, and he has never expressed his position.
Karl's voice was sincere, just like the character that the Minotaur had always maintained.
He first told everyone about the fact that the human demigod was about to fall, and then he threw out his opinion, that is, to let the little wolf girl go, because of the child in her womb.
He felt that the unborn child carried the hope of the future of the subhuman tribes, and that all the tribes could settle in the Northwest Plains.
Quite smoothly, the chiefs fell into whispering, and they were tempted.
Most of the leaders of the Subhumans agreed with Karl's suggestion, as returning to their ancestral homeland had been their hope for thousands of years.
But at this moment, the leader of the fox tribe stood up.
He roared vigorously, "I will never accept such a shame!" Have you forgotten the struggles of our forefathers? Have you forgotten the slaughter of humans? As future generations, are we going to accept the charity of humanity now? Ancestors are above, if you accept it, the fox people will withdraw from the alliance! Because you who disdain and forget the glory of your ancestors are in the company! ”
His words silenced the chiefs.
This accusation is too serious for anyone to bear.
Although all tribal leaders know that the anger of the fox people comes more from the blood and tears of the persecution of the women in their tribe by the human race.
"Since we can't reach a consensus, let the ancestors decide."
Eventually, a tribal leader came up with a compromise based on the Union's practice.
