Oakes returned to the priestly colony, clarified the reality to all the priests, and raised his own questions.

"What are we going to do?!"

Many of the priests fell silent in response to Oakes' question.

As a member of the royal family, they have to say that they have no ambition or desire in their hearts, and they themselves do not believe it! Especially for more than 2,000 years, the priest community has been proud of the change of power of the royal human race!

Therefore, in the minds of many priests, it was absolutely necessary to maintain the authority of the priesthood......! After all, they are members of the royal family of the barbarians!

How can a tree flourish without a foundation?!

All priests knew that if the barbarians were in chaos and the power of the royal family was challenged, then the authority of the priests would inevitably be challenged as well!

Therefore, maintaining the stability of the barbarian race is the first and necessary condition!

Now, Hakbass has died in battle, the younger generation of the barbarian race of his generation is doing nothing, and the heir cultivated by the new generation has not been selected, and the question of whether the barbarian king Salton will stay has become the key to the discussion!

To stabilize the stability of the entire barbarian race, there must be a powerful and powerful barbarian king!, but now...... The priests were faced with a dilemma!

As the barbarian king, although Salton is not the best group in the history of the barbarians, he does have his own extraordinary means and abilities! The reason why he is not as good as the various 'British kings' in the history of the barbarian race is that he was born at the wrong time and did not give Salton the opportunity to display his talents!

And now, the problem of defeat in front of the Barbarian hierarchy presents Salton with a golden opportunity: the chance to extend the throne!

All priests knew that the barbarian king had a natural hostility to the priest community! This was a special relationship formed since the priests obtained the power of the barbarian king more than 2,000 years ago!

After the priests obtained the power to change the throne of the barbarian king, the power struggle between the barbarian king and them gradually became fierce. Every generation of barbarian kings is trying their best to regain their lost power, and the priests are naturally trying their best to maintain their power!

It's just that the barbarian king only has the power of the throne for two hundred years, making it difficult for each generation of barbarian kings to successfully regain their own power!

After all, two hundred years is too short a time, and if the barbarian king needs to build his own power, it will take at least three hundred years!

Some people will say that when they became the heir, they had already begun to build their own power? Isn't that enough for 300 years?!

Not really!

When it comes to becoming heirs, the vast majority of the so-called henchmen don't really belong to the heirs who lead them!

This is a mixture of priests and the hands given by the contemporary barbarian king, and there are only a handful of henchmen who really belong to the heir's side!

After each generation of barbarian kings obtained the throne, they first wanted to attack the old barbarian kings and priests in order to obtain more benefits! However, each generation of barbarian kings would find that there were not many forces under their control at all, and everything was just a superficial glory!

This is also the reason why Salton is wise and has a lot of ambitions, but he always dismisses them! In Saltton's mind, Hackbass's ambition is simply a fog and a moon in the water, and when he truly becomes the barbarian king, he will know that things are not what he imagined at all!

But for Salton, it's all different!

Now that Hakbass has died in battle, the new generation of barbarian kings cannot be determined, and the cultivation of excellent heirs has not yet begun. If Salton were to gain the throne for another hundred years or so, he would be confident that he would be able to build up his power against the priests, and finally gain the power and status of the barbarian king more than 2,000 years ago!

And the priest naturally knows very well what each generation of barbarian kings thinks, and has always had the idea of suppressing the power of each generation of barbarian kings, so as to firmly control the change of the throne of the barbarian kings in their hands!

"High Priest, Salton can't continue to control the position of the Barbarian King!" an older priest stood up, looked at Oakes with a frown, and said, "In another seventeen years, Salton should abdicate as usual! In other words, Salton's position as Barbarian King has been sitting for almost two hundred years!"

"That's right!" another priest with a face full of ravines also nodded and said, "The rule of rotation once every two hundred years cannot be broken! Otherwise, the inheritance order of the barbarian king will be chaotic in the future! The most important thing is ......"

"But the question is, who can be the new generation of barbarian kings?!" Oakes asked in a deep voice, frowning. It's not that he doesn't know the contradictions between the barbarian king and the priests, as the leader of the priests, Oakes naturally can't let go of the power in his hands. It's just that now this matter is not simply a matter of the change of the barbarian king, but also includes the control of the royal family over the entire barbarian race!

A generation of barbarian kings must not be incompetent and weak, after all, except for the royal family, the vast majority of the barbarian race is not a member of the royal family commanding a tribe. If the barbarian king is incompetent and cowardly, then the royal family will have a problem controlling the entire barbarian race!

Just like the priests control the change of the barbarian king, the barbarian king's control of the barbarian tribes cannot be challenged!

To put it bluntly, outside the barbarian race and within the priests, they restrain each other but cannot break the relationship with each other!

Once the priests bypass the barbarian king and control the barbarian race, then what is the role of the barbarian king's position?! In this way, there will be a huge disagreement among the priests in the royal family's power level, which will lead to the division of the royal family!

Therefore, no matter what the situation, the priests came to the front to control the barbarian tribes, even if they controlled the change of the barbarian king!

And as the barbarian king, he must also have enough ability to deal with the dissenting intentions of the barbarian tribes, or soft or hard means to deal with the ambitious people under his command! Only in this way can the control of the barbarian royal clan over the entire barbarian race be stabilized!

Now, the new generation of barbarian kings has a difficult birth, and there is a choice question in front of the royal family as a whole: whether to weaken the authority of the priests or weaken the authority of the barbarian king!

To weaken the authority of the Barbarian King is to let a person who lacks ability and strength inherit the position of the new Barbarian King. As a result, there will be turmoil in the entire barbarian tribe, and the royal family will face the inflated ambitions of the various tribes, thus shaking its power!

To weaken the authority of the priests is to keep Salton in the position of the barbarian king, and to continue his rule!

After that, it is foreseeable that after Salton completes the integration of the forces in his hands, he will definitely launch an offensive against the entire priests! The final result is likely to be that the priests will let go of the power of the barbarian king's succession, so that the barbarian king will live up to his name!

For the priests, these were two difficult choices! Either choice would inevitably have an impact on the authority of the priests.

Choosing a new barbarian king who doesn't meet the requirements is likely to cause turmoil within the entire barbarian race. As a result, the priests will inevitably bear the notoriety of 'not knowing people' and 'forgetting righteousness for selfish gain'! Therefore, the whole royal family will definitely have resentment against the priests, and thus ultimately damage the interests of the priests!

If Salton is chosen to remain the Barbarian King, then the situation will be even more obvious! Salton will definitely take back the power that belongs to the Barbarian King, and eventually the priests will probably lose the power to control the change of the Barbarian King's throne!

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Oakes said solemnly, looking at the priests, "Don't forget, what is the point of our existence if the royal family does not exist?!"

"Oakes, you mean to keep Saltton as the Barbarian King?!" an old priest asked, looking at Oakes, "Do you think about the consequences of this!"

"The consequences!?" Oakes shook his head and said in a deep voice, "If the royal family can't control the main barbarian race, the consequences will be even more eye-catching!"

"You have to be clear! The contradiction between our priest and the barbarian king belongs to the internal contradiction of the barbarian royal family! And once the barbarian king fails, resulting in the inability to control the entire barbarian race, then it will be the loss of all the royal clans!"

"So, how do we suppress Salton in the future?!" one of the priests asked.

"Suppress?!" Oakes shook his head, "How do you want to suppress?!Why suppress?!"

"......" All the priests fell silent, not knowing for a moment what to do.

Obviously, except for the high priest Oakes, the rest of the priests did not want to let go of their power easily!

"Guys, you should be able to see my attitude, what about you?!" Oakes asked in a deep voice, looking at the others.

"Oakes. At this time, the old priest, who thought that he was wearing a white priest's robe, was obviously far superior to the rest of the priests present in terms of seniority, and said, "Three days, give us three days! After three days, we will definitely discuss a method that the vast majority of people will accept! Whether it is to give up control of the barbarian king's throne, or whatever, everyone will accept it!"

"Yes, Ancestor!" Oakes said in a deep voice, bowing respectfully to the old priest.

========================================================

"Interesting!" When Gu Yi had a general understanding of the current situation of the barbarian race from the northern intelligence, he suddenly became a little full of nature.

Gu Yi has always attached great importance to the intelligence of the barbarian race.

It's just that the barbarians don't want the orcs or half-orcs, they have an independent system, except for the most superficial transactions, Gu Yi's secret agents can't go deep into it, and some of the information inside the barbarian race is not clear!

For a long time, Gu Yi has used the Xiongnu and Turks he has seen in his previous life as a template to figure out the habits of the barbarian race, although he has gained a lot of convenience from it, but Gu Yi still knows that the barbarian race is still very different from the Xiongnu and Turks he knows!

Especially the existence of the barbarian royal clan is a situation that Gu Yi has never seen in the world in his previous life!

In Gu Yi's previous life, only the Meng Yuan who experienced the late Song Dynasty had a similar existence to the barbarian royal family! Temujin's 'Golden Family' also had the meaning of the barbarian royal family!

It's just that compared to Meng Yuan in the previous life, the royal family of the barbarian race is very strong, and has ruled the entire barbarian race for tens of thousands of years!

They don't want the Zhao clan of the Purple Gold Empire, only their name has no power, but the supreme family that truly controls everything of the barbarian race!

As for the intelligence within the barbarian royal family, Gu Yi really didn't know!

There are no outsiders within the Barbarian King Royal Clan! Not to mention the Human Race, even ordinary Barbarian Race cannot enter their circle!

I don't know when it began, the entire royal family formed a consciousness: either the royal family is the enemy!

In other words, anyone who is not from the royal family will be regarded as an enemy by all the royal family! Even if he appears to support a certain member of the royal family, he will still be hostile to all the members of the royal family!

This method seems to be very closed, but I have to say that it is a perfect result of inhibiting the conspiracy of a certain person or a certain force to cause chaos within the barbarian royal family, and thus separate and separate!

Not only that, but all the methods that Gu Yi had tried to do under his command could not buy and approach the members of the royal family at all, and they could not understand the secrets within the barbarian royal family!

And the most important reason why the intelligence of the barbarian race interested Gu Yi this time was that when Hakbass was killed in battle, the various tribes of the barbarian tribe were ready to act!

Although he did not know the situation within the barbarian royal family, Gu Yi was still clear about some of the basic situation of the barbarian race! In the various tribes of the barbarian race, the royal family was an absolutely powerful ruler, and in addition, there were many barbarian tribes, strong or weak. On weekdays, they work for the subordinates of the royal family and the barbarian king!

But this is not to say that these tribes are loyal to the barbarians, and they are convinced of the barbarian royal family!

As long as they have the opportunity, these tribes will find a way to break away from the control of the barbarian royal clan and seek their own benefit!

Every year, many tribes rebel under the guidance of all parties, thus weakening the strength of the barbarian royal family and allowing the major tribes to find opportunities!

This time, Hakbass was killed in battle, and those barbarian tribes who were only small movements before were obviously ready to move, which made Gu Yi feel very curious!

From the information sent from the north, Gu Yi found that these tribes began to break away from the control of the barbarian royal clan and quietly trade with the human race. In particular, the trade of strategic goods has become frequent and in large quantities!

In less than a month, a large amount of grain and weapons were traded to the northern barbarian tribes, which was fundamentally different from the previous transactions led by the royal family!

Being sensitive to the incident, the northern intelligence officers sent the information to Gu Yi, and bluntly said that they thought that there was a possibility of great changes within the barbarian race!

"What do you think?!" Gu Yi looked at the girls beside him and asked with a smile.

"It should be Hakbas's death that has broken the balance within the barbarian race!" Li Shengnan frowned and said in distress, "It's a pity that we know too little about the intelligence within the barbarian race!"

"Yes!" the girls nodded at the same time.

"Forget it!" Gu Yi thought for a moment, and then he still didn't plan to make a fuss in it.

The 'Howling Heaven' force under his command is already in the south, and he can't reach the barbarian race, so he can only watch from afar! Besides, this is an internal problem of the barbarian race, he just needs to see the excitement, and he doesn't necessarily have to do anything!
