Chapter 67: Mobilization
It's quite normal for a daylight.
The old trolls, who were watching over the animals or the fruit trees, were smiling heartily as they remembered the toil of the tribe;
In the newly built school near the central council hall, the little trolls are learning all kinds of knowledge painfully and happily, and from time to time they look enviously at the busyness outside the teachers;
Mothers and mothers-to-be in the nursery area are either irritable and breastfeeding the little trolls, or complaining impatiently about wanting to go hunting, but the witch doctors with brain diseases just won't let them go.
In short, it is not 100% peaceful, but everything in the tribe runs in an orderly manner.
Until, when a bloodstained troll appeared at the door of the tribe, everything was still like this.
It was as if some kind of magic box had been opened, and almost in the same direction, it was followed by many equally embarrassed compatriots.
The witch doctors were given the news almost immediately and gave them the most serious concern.
In a short time, they inquired about the exact situation: encounters, hunts, flights, hostile tribes.
The trolls who escaped were not from a few hunting teams, but from at least a dozen different hunting teams in a large area to the east.
The witch doctors understood what that meant, which meant that the tribe had lost at least nearly a hundred laborers in a single day, or a few days;
At the same time, it also means that the adversaries are not small fights, but large-scale, and possibly even out-of-the-nest.
"Where did the enemy come from?"
"Which tribe is it, since it is so costly!"
"What to do... What to do. ”
Most of the 'civilized' trolls in the council chamber were as calm as ever, anxiously talking to each other, unconsciously spreading useless panic in their 'buzzing' voices.
'Bell, bell, bell'
Bladefang didn't have time to sit in the Speaker's seat for a long time, so he walked quickly to the top and struck the hammer several times, which silenced the overly clever and cranky apprentices and the few new witch doctors who had never seen the storm.
He looked around, focusing on the three new witch doctors....
Most of the members of the hunting team who escaped this time belonged to the original Fina and Nomen, while the tooth trolls suffered relatively heavy casualties.
He couldn't blame the members of the two departments, and when there was a huge disparity between friend and foe, it was not a mistake to come back immediately to report the news, but a wise choice.
It could even be argued that their escape gave the tribe relatively ample time to react;
But at the same time, it seems to prove that the triumph path is far from successful.....
But now is clearly not the time to think about it.....
Blade Fang sorted out his chaotic thoughts a little, and after cleaning up his mood, he put on a calm and calm expression, and said to the trolls below, who were almost quiet, but still looked panicked,
"The troops who went to Nomen and Finai have been on their way for several days, and the contingent there has not returned; The Horde's defenses were thus plunged into an unprecedented emptiness. ”
"This is a mistake in our decision-making, but the priority now is not to hold accountable; What we need is immediate mobilization, and the most suitable forces and places can be put in the most appropriate places as quickly as possible. ”
Perhaps infected by his calm attitude, the trolls below have calmed down a lot when they hear this.
"In such an emergency, I will be temporary dictator, and will be in charge of all matters from now until the repulsion of the invading enemy! Those who disagree will keep their mouths shut and wait until the crisis is over. ”
At such a moment, there are people who are trusted by all the trolls who are willing to stand up and take the head, and naturally they are welcomed by everyone's hands and feet, and all the trolls nod their heads in approval.
"That being the case, then I will give the first order. The Grand Witch Doctor, you lead the five Witch Doctors, starting from the last seat, to open underground bunkers in the heart of the tribe; Let all the pregnant and nursing trolls escape with trolls under the age of 16; Remember to let them bring plenty of food and water, and remember to leave vents in the bunkers.... Let's go. ”
"Understood."
The Great Witch Doctor nodded, and even though he had a solemn face, he got up and set off with the four witch doctors at the bottom of the table.
"Second, Hanya, you take all the midshippers on your left hand to open the armament warehouse, take out the reserve weapons and carry them to the square in front of the council chamber."
"Understood." As the words fell, Cold Fang also led the trolls in the designated area to rush out.
"Thirdly, Your Excellency the Consul, Your Excellency Daba (formerly Chief Finai), and Your Excellency Nonai (formerly Chief Nomen), you take the remaining probationary members of the House of Representatives, and immediately go and mobilize all the sub-adult and middle-aged trolls who have combat effectiveness to form a militia queue during training, and go to the square to receive special weapons for war."
"Understood." This time, only the consul nodded, and almost dragged the two former chiefs, who didn't understand anything, out.
"Fifth, Fanged Witch Doctor, Meiya, you take the rest of the witch doctor to the east of the tribe and bury thorn vines a hundred steps away, remember to hide as much as possible and bury them all underground."
"Okay." The two also left as ordered.
"Sixth... Who learned to ride a deer? Looking at the few remaining trolls, Bladefang asked.
"I will! Discuss... Your Excellency the Dictator! I will. ”
Blade Fang turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and found that it was the wooden tooth who said that he had learned 'eight hundred words', nodded and said to him,
"Ride the deer you know best, set out at once to chase the hunters sent to Finnay, and return with them.... No, take them around to the east. Your mission is to stop the fleeing enemies, and leave them behind for me! ”
"It's... Yes, I see. ”
Mu Ya was actually a little hesitant in his heart, he could understand from the previous casualty figures and the range of casualties that he might face more than a thousand enemies this time.... Maybe even more.
But the order given to him by the Blade Tooth Witch Doctor was actually intercepted from behind...... Shouldn't it be an emergency bailout?
He didn't know if this confidence was a good thing, but now he had to follow orders.
'Let's hope the tribe is safe...'
Feeling so emotional, Muya left the council hall with trepidation and ran quickly in the direction of the deer farm.
When Muya also left, the chamber was almost all that was left with the witch medicine cultists looking at each other.
Left and right also failed to hear the arrangement of the trolls for themselves, so they fell into a state of confusion, and at this time they were cautiously looking at the mighty dictator at the top.
But as everyone knows, Blade Fang is now also in a dilemma between how to arrange them.
In his heart, he wanted these precious seeds to hide, and the farther away he could, the better...
However, at such a moment, it seems that this should not be done, even if there is a high-sounding reason.
Time was urgent, and he couldn't think about it anymore, so he gritted his teeth and made a ruthless decision.
"Over 20 years old... Go get your weapons and you'll be fighting with your warriors..... Bring the most powerful core; ”
"Those over 16 years of age should take a spear and a scalpel for self-defense; Once the battle begins, you are responsible for helping the fighters who are bleeding from inside to regain their combat effectiveness; ”
"The rest of the little ones... Go and hide, it's not time for you to take responsibility. ”
The witch medicine disciples either left relieved, unwilling, or full of fighting spirit.
In the council hall, only Blade Fang was still standing alone.
This sudden crisis, and the tension and apprehension that followed, it would certainly be a lie to say that it did not affect him.
But it has been nearly thirty years since he came to this life, and Blade Fang is no longer the student who never came out of the ivory tower in his previous life, and he has also grown.
There are his relatives and friends here, and there are his hard work, which are all things that Blade Fang wants to protect and must protect.
So, standing alone in the hesitation lasted only a moment, he patted his cheeks vigorously, and without hesitation, he left and walked to his own battlefield.
