Section XXVII explained

By the time the big and small things are done, it's night. Assowen convened the council as usual, and Claire had the privilege of attending for the first time, and she also enjoyed the craft of Eshurufat. The atmosphere of the evening meeting was lively, and after Claire had completed this task, the two major problems - intelligence and military rations - were greatly relieved, and everyone had plenty of leisure to carefully study the strategy for the future.

The only surprise was that the number two person in the tribe, the Chosen Warrior Ned, didn't come. According to everyone, Ned left early the morning with his full gear on his own. No one knows where he went or what he was doing, except that his slave returned yesterday.

There are rumors that Ned wants to go out and ask for news, but there is no hard evidence.

After the council, Claire and Ashrufat returned to their tent together.

Although Claire was tired from the journey and the meeting (a car without shock absorption is really difficult to sit), she couldn't hide the excitement on her face. Her status in the tribe was not the same as it had been a month ago. In the past, although she said that "no one bullied me", the life of a child without a protector is really not comfortable. In order to make a living, she had to sell some of what her parents had left behind.

It seems that since that night, when he unexpectedly met Ashrufat, his luck has become very good.

In fact, this man from the south is good in everything, whether it is his appearance or strength (or his cooking level), he is impeccable. Except that he was a little too weak mentally - but it was inevitable, after all, he was a southerner. If a southerner is not weak, is it called a southerner? Besides, theoretically speaking, this kind of psychological weakness can be reversed.

In particular, it should be noted here that when he was in the south, the scar in the middle of the bridge of Ashrufat's nose was a stain on his appearance (although he was not ugly because of this, but this scar dragged down some of his appearance), but in the Chaos Tribe, this scar immediately became a merit that added to his manhood.

Maybe...... Can ...... tonight

By the time she thought so, she had already reached her tent. In other words, to the place where I usually sleep. As mentioned earlier, her tent was actually quite large, and Ashrufat and she did not sleep close to each other, but in two corners far apart.

"Claire. Suddenly, she heard Ashrufat's voice. There was a faint taste in the voice. "I think it's almost time for me to leave. ”

The blow was so sudden that she didn't react for a few seconds. "Uh, farewell?"

"Well, I've been here long enough and I've learned a lot. I think it's time for me to leave. Ashrufat said. He felt that his request was very reasonable, so he didn't expect the other party to react like this.

Claire glared at her, her eyes flashing with fire.

This kind of look Ashrufat had ever seen. Ah Jin used to suffer a small loss when he was doing business (that is, doing market research in Eagle Falcon City, and doing some small business by the way), and he lost a full five gold ori - although Ah Jin is really a business veteran, but the so-called tiger also has a nap - at that time, Ah Jin had this kind of look.

Although Ah Jin emphasized that a few of the Kioli were small money, he was angry that he was actually being calculated by the fact that he was being calculated. But in Ashrufat's view, it was just a loss for him who felt sorry for himself. Yes, Ah Jin is not a stingy person, but it is based on the basis of being rewarded (such as food, clothing, enjoyment, or the necessary capital to do business). If it is a loss in business, a completely meaningless loss, his expression when he touches the money is as distressed as giving away his own daughter.

"You want to go?"

"It's time for me to go. Ashrufat said. "You know, I'm just...... Stay here for a while and learn some common sense. He felt the need to be cautious in his rhetoric, for he couldn't understand why Claire had such an expression—and at some point, he found himself completely incomprehensible to women. No matter where the woman is, it seems to be like this. "Like, that's what I said at first. ”

The flame in Claire's eyes didn't diminish at all.

"You can't go!"

"Why?"

"Because there's going to be a war here. Claire stared at Aerufat. "Wander the Hunter Tribe and the Khazar Tribe, you know. War is going to start in a few days. It's too dangerous for you to be a lone traveler. ”

"I'm not going to be in danger...... I'll avoid ......."

"There's no way you can avoid it!" Claire said decisively. "No one knows where the fighting will break out, let alone how many locations it will break out. It's too dangerous. ”

She looked at Ashrufat so eagerly that Ashrufat even felt embarrassed to say no.

"Okay, wait until this battle is over. He said. If Ned is right, it will only be a delay of three to five days at most.

Late at night, the entire tribe's camp fell into a deep sleep. Claire lay in a thick fur blanket, tossing and turning, but unable to sleep. Although her body was tired from the journey, she couldn't sleep.

Ashrufat is leaving.

This is not surprising, when he first came to the tribe, he made it clear to Asowen directly. Before that, he also told her to understand his reason for coming to the north this time. It was for this reason that he needed to share a tent with her.

But...... At the thought of him leaving, there was naturally an inexplicable sadness in his heart. In any case, don't want him to leave.

However, there was no reason to keep him. This so-called "for your safety" is nothing more than self-deception. And even then, it won't take too long.

A hundred thoughts skipped through her mind, each of which was annihilated before reason.

What to do? What to do? Wait, maybe I should be sure first.

......

The clouds of war are growing in the northern steppes. Maybe it's the gods behind it, or maybe it's just the influence of human nature, in short, a large-scale melee is imminent. Almost every tribe is on the lookout for suitable prey, both to prevent enemy attacks and to find suitable prey.

On the edge of the desert there are two tribes, one is the wandering hunters and the other is the Qajar. The two have long been feuds, and now, both sides feel that the time has come to fight each other.

However, two days away from the two tribes, in a remote, barren land, there was a third Chaos tribe. The region was so barren that it was neglected by the two great tribes, and few believed that there was still a threat to the place - barren meant not being able to support too many people, and numbers meant fighting power. Therefore, even if the two tribes sent scouts to scout the surroundings, they never went this way.

Ashrufat walked through the camp. Two children who had just learned to walk were running happily around the camp, and it was clear that they were twins. The two children collided with him. They were not afraid of life at all, and they were actually holding Ashrufat's leg and playing hide and seek.

No matter how tense the atmosphere is, there is also some quiet atmosphere in it.

The entire tribe was ready to move under the orders of Asowen. There is already news that the Wandering Hunter tribe has gone straight to the vengeance. Because it was a decisive battle, and they didn't expect the Yellow Sparrow to be in the aftermath, they had little strength left to garrison the camp.

From the fighter's point of view, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of the sneak attack. Someone did this, but Asowen vetoed the plan. It must be said that it was not for nothing that this wizard became the head of the tribe, he was very clear-headed, and there was no profit in the slightest. He knew very well that his strength was too weak, so he must not expose his existence - otherwise, the victor would have destroyed him without difficulty.

"Ashrufat," someone called him after a little play with the two children. It was a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, named Gander - a scout and a marauder. "It's time for us to go. ”

That's right, Ashruphat joined the scout squad. Because he wanted to learn the art of tracking and hiding in the wilderness by the Chaos Warriors. This also makes a lot of sense, because it is likely to be used in the future. As mentioned earlier, as Asowen had promised, Ashrufat's request was immediately granted.

"What are we going to do this time?" asked Ashorufat after he had left the camp.

"Go see how they're doing. ”

"Fighting?"

"Ha, if the winner could be decided so quickly, there would have been only one tribe left here. Gander replied. "It's not that simple. You are from the South, but you should know that...... No one wants to lose in war. Even if you lose, at least you can't lose too badly. ”

"I totally understand that. ”

"Well, that's how it happened. Both sides have set up strong military camps, and even small defeats on the battlefield can have a place to retreat. Gander said.

Ashrufat vaguely felt that something was wrong. By the way, the Chaos Legion is known for its fearlessness. How could they ......

"Well, maybe you have some misunderstandings, but you have to understand that wars between tribes are not the same as forming legions to go on expeditions. Gander said. "Especially the sadistic madmen. ”

Ashruphat now understood that sadistic believers were feared even in the midst of chaos. The key lies in their fearless style of dying. For example, in the last battle with the Sadistic Gang, most of the surrenders and escapes in the battle were marauders, and most of the real Sadistic fighters chose to die in battle. If it weren't for Assowen's final crucial magic, it's hard to say how things would have turned out. It was that magic that aroused all sorts of inexplicable desires in humans, and even temporarily overwhelmed the madmigic warriors' enthusiasm for blood and battle.

"Well, anyway, the fighting style is more conservative, right?"

"That's right. Gander said. "In particular, it is important to note that...... People who are not of the warrior class can easily break down. They...... It's only slightly better than the average Southerner. You understand that. ”

"Have you seen the other Southerners?" asked Ashrufat, with some interest.
