Heilu Tribe!
Chieftain Heilu, his face pale, was helped up to the entrance of the Heilu tribe camp by several wolf warriors.
"Aksu, have you made your choice?" Outside the Heilu tribe, Kordiak sat on his war wolf, looking at the ailing Chieftain Aksu who appeared on the camp's entrance.
The already pale face of Chieftain Heilu looked even worse at the moment.
The coalition had been defeated, and only about twenty disabled warriors had escaped back to the Heilu tribe, including himself, who was hit by several arrows. If not for his luck, he might not have made it back.
The coalition was defeated, and he naturally understood that the Silvermane tribe would not let it go easily. So as soon as he returned, disregarding his pain, he immediately ordered the tribe to migrate entirely, preparing to seek refuge with the Luochuan tribe.
After all, he had secretly pledged allegiance to the fourth young chieftain of Luochuan, Mamuti.
However, he didn't expect that before the tribe could start migrating, the pursuers from the Silvermane tribe arrived.
Looking at the hundred and fifty fully armed wolf cavalry, all with bows drawn, aimed at the tribe, Aksu began to feel uneasy.
This time, although he did not send all his forces to join the coalition, at most he could only gather less than fifty warriors. How could they fight against more than a hundred wolf cavalry?
Moreover, if he dared to resist, would the Silvermane tribe slaughter the entire tribe?
Aksu was very hesitant at the moment, to join the Silvermane tribe?
He had joined the coalition to attack the Silvermane tribe, and now to join the Silvermane tribe. What would happen to him as a chieftain?
"It seems you have chosen to resist!" Kordiak raised his hand, and all of a sudden, the wolf cavalry's bowstrings were drawn.
Aksu's face changed dramatically. Could they really dare to carry out a massacre?
"Commander Kordiak, allow me to say a few words." Thadon, seeing Kordiak's impatience, hurriedly spoke up.
Corvinus had called him here, surely hoping to bring back the people of the Heilu tribe smoothly. If Kordiak ordered a massacre, would Corvinus still favor him?
"Thadon... brother... speak." Kordiak, hearing Thadon speak, nodded.
On the way, he had chatted with Thadon, and his initial impression was quite good.
"Aksu, if you want to live, don't resist. Besides, the people of the Heilu tribe have been starving, and only by joining the Silvermane tribe can they survive." Thadon said loudly.
"You traitor, the coalition lost because of you!"
Aksu looked at Thadon with hatred. If it weren't for the Liewa tribe's betrayal, the coalition wouldn't have lost. Even if they lost, it wouldn't be as miserable and complete as it was now.
Thadon's voice was not only heard by Aksu but also by the guards on both sides of the camp entrance.
And Thadon noticed the guards were unsettled.
After all, from an ordinary person's perspective, if joining the Silvermane tribe meant having food to eat, then why not?
Thadon completely ignored Aksu's abuse and continued, "Also, let me tell you, Mamuti, Chief Kera, and Chief Sam have all been captured, and both Chief Kera and Chief Sam are willing to submit to the Silvermane tribe."
"Young Chief Mamuti has been captured?"
Aksu was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, he was the first to run away. You want to deceive me?"
Thadon wanted to speak, but Kordiak was impatient and said, "Brother Thadon, there's no need to waste words on him. I think they won't yield until they see blood."
Immediately, the wolf cavalry's bowstrings were drawn again, waiting for Kordiak's command.
"Heilu tribe people, Aksu completely disregards your lives. Only by joining the Silvermane tribe can you survive. Do you really want to resist us Silvermane tribe with him?"
"Is it worth it to serve such a person?" Thadon shouted again.
Aksu's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, don't believe his nonsense..."
However, before he could finish his words, he felt his hands being locked. Aksu was shocked and tried to struggle, but the pain in his chest prevented him from exerting any strength.
"What are you doing?"
"Want to betray me?" Aksu roared in anger and frustration.
He never thought that his own guards would betray him.
"Chief, it's not us betraying you, it's you betraying us. If it weren't for you, not assessing the situation, how could the tribe suffer such a heavy loss this time?"
"My brother, their brothers have died because of your leadership."
"Besides, at this point, knowing that we are outnumbered, you still want to fight, disregarding our lives."
"It's you who betrayed us!" One of the guards holding Aksu said coldly.
"Bastards, you traitors..."
Facing Aksu's roar, the two guards ignored him and then looked at the warriors on both sides who were stunned and ordered, "Don't you go down and open the gate to welcome the Silvermane tribe's masters? Do you all want to go to war with them?"
Immediately, some confused Heilu wolf warriors seemed to wake up from a dream.
They hurriedly jumped down and opened the gates of the Heilu tribe.
As for Kordiak outside the Heilu tribe, he was also stunned, after all, the distance between the two sides was only tens of meters, and he saw the scene of the guards betraying Aksu clearly.
"Thadon... brother, impressive!" Kordiak saw the opened gates of the Heilu tribe and praised.
Thadon shook his head, he was also confused, after all, the two guards moved too fast.
...
With Kordiak and Thadon bringing the Heilu tribe back to the Silvermane tribe the day before, the next morning, Thadon's father, Chief Liewa, led more than two hundred wolves to the Silvermane tribe as the sun just rose.
At noon, Kro and Bagin brought the Kera tribe and the Sam tribe back to the Silvermane tribe, respectively.
Immediately, the people of the four tribes all poured into the Silvermane tribe, and the entire high command of the Silvermane tribe was fully mobilized.
Even Corvinus was not idle.
It was not until the four tribes were completely settled that night fell.
At night!
On a piece of wasteland outside the Silvermane tribe.
A large number of Silvermane people, even the four tribes that just joined the tribe, all gathered here.
At the same time, Corvinus, Lothar, Kro, Bagin, and all the high-ranking members of the tribe were present.
In the center of the huge circle formed by the people, there was a wooden altar, surrounded by nine huge bonfires.
The Silvermane people did not know what to do, but they all received orders that they must participate.
In fact, the tribal hierarchy did not know exactly what was going on, but this was Corvinus's order, and no one dared to be absent.
"What is this for?" The onlooking tribal hierarchy, Lothar, looked at Kro and asked.
The others also looked at Kro because the altar and the nine bonfires were all done under Kro's command.
"I don't know either!" Kro shook his head, this was the chief's order, and he was not clear either.
The others were taken aback, Kro didn't know either?
"But the bonfires are filled with the bodies of fallen warriors."
Warrior's bodies?
Everyone was puzzled, Corvinus brought the bodies back, just to burn them?
