Chapter 264 Attitude Change
In this environment, the Elder Council of the Crocodiles was held again.
We can't drag on like this any longer. We must break the current situation, otherwise our crocodile clan will die in less than two years. No, it won't take two years. In another year or so, our people will be hungry. Most of them will die, let alone go to war.
To break the current situation, to put it lightly, it's not like you haven't seen the situation on the front line with your own eyes. The Kingsley family's equipment advantage is too obvious. If the clansmen want to trade their lives for it, they must rely on geographical advantages. If they don't Without the geographical advantage, we don’t even have a chance to change our lives, so how can we completely defeat them? Even if we can defeat them, so what? The food crisis will not be alleviated in the slightest.”
According to what you say, we can only close our eyes and wait for death? Or surrender to the Kingsley family directly?
Bah! You son of a bitch! Surrender to the Kingsley family, you can figure it out, you want to be reduced to miners for generations, living like rats in that dark miner's hole? My family would rather die in a collective battle , and will never surrender.
That's right, we will never surrender. We will fight these greedy people to the end.
Success, you guys are stubborn, but you guys have to come up with a solution. Even if you have a bloody battle, you have to take advantage of your strength. If you are so hungry, you can't even lift your weapon. What bloody battle?
Have you forgotten that we are not alone and helpless!
You mean the leader of the Yongye army?
That's right, it is the leader of the Yongye army. With our own strength alone, there is no way to drive away the Kingsley family. Many people have seen the strength of the leader of the Yongye army with their own eyes. The equipment is no better than that of the Kingsley family. No matter how bad it is, the opponent doesn’t seem to be short of food, even if we don’t send troops, if we can get the opponent to help us with food, we can hold on longer and find other ways out.”
You are seeking skin from a tiger. The leader of the Yongye Army has never acted with any kind intentions. Do you really think that the other party will help us for free because of the stereotype that they were a family three hundred years ago? Their wolfish ambition to annex us has not changed from the beginning to the end. Now It’s waiting for us to deliver it to our door!”
Why don't I know that this is seeking skin from a tiger, but do we have other options? Compared with the Kingsley family, their eating is at least a little more elegant. Even if they are really eaten by someone, I would rather choose the leader of the Yongye army than the Kingsley family. Not the Kingsleys.
You're trying so hard to brag about the Yong Ye army leader, are you taking advantage of him? Your ethnic group's territory is so close to them, and the number of merchant ships is the largest. There must be some ulterior secrets in it.
You are spitting blood, you have to be responsible for saying this kind of thing, you have to talk about evidence, there is no basis, why do you say that? I am just giving a reasonable suggestion.
What are you excited about? Are you guilty of being a thief?
I'm not messing around with you. Anyway, I've already said the suggestion. Whether you like to listen or not, just wait to be eaten by the Kingsley family and become slaves for generations!
Everyone, don't get excited, calm down, calm down, everyone is thinking about the crocodile clan, we must help each other in order to overcome the current difficulties, if there are conflicts among us, then there is really no chance at all, in my opinion, with Let’s get in touch with the Yong Ye army leader to see what help they can provide us and what requirements they have. If it’s reasonable, we can cooperate. It’s impossible for us to get through the current situation without cutting a bit of flesh. As long as we get through it Let’s find a way to get it back.”
I think what Elder Roy said is the correct solution. It is not wise to try to discuss with the leader of the Yongye army and see what conditions the other party offers. It is not wise to veto it without trying.
I also agree with Elder Roy's method. Isn't the emissary on the other side still in Losangel? It happened to be contacted through him. I don't know what the elders think?
All eyes turned to the Five-member Grand Presbyterian Council.
In the previous offense and defense with Ake Messer, the five-member Great Presbyterian Church had already proved their worth. Not only did they achieve the final result at critical moments.
When the whole situation was in danger, he even took the lead and charged on the front line, winning the respect of everyone.
They may have defects of one kind or another, but they are indeed fighting for the future of the entire crocodile tribe.
I think this method is feasible, you can try it, and there is no loss. Weber first expressed his attitude.
This leader, who was in his prime, did not directly express his attitude when he was the leader of the Yongye army, but after returning to the council of elders, his attitude was somewhat biased towards the leader of the Yongye army.
Before the Kingsley family's army arrived and the Great Council of Elders was established, he suggested that the Council of Elders adopt a gentle stance towards the leader of the Eternal Night Army.
It wasn't because he wandered around the Yong Ye army and had any sense of identity with them, but he was simply not optimistic about the situation of the crocodile tribe, thinking that they had no experience in large-scale wars, and it was difficult for them to rely on their own strength. Resist the massive invasion of the Kingsley family.
If they completely offend the Yong Ye army leader again, then they really have no chance at all, and there is no way to resist the pressure from the two lines.
On the contrary, the leader of the Yongye army has shown other schemes to the crocodile tribe from the very beginning, which is a weakness that can be exploited instead.
It is worthwhile to use this to seek benefits and support for oneself as much as possible. It is worth paying a certain price for this. Only by surviving can there be other possibilities. If the family is extinct, they will have no hope.
It was he who initiated the business relationship with the leader of the Yong Ye army.
The crocodile people are in the center of a once-in-a-century storm. They can no longer stick to the rules and treat things in the old way. They should adopt a positive attitude. The business exchange with the Yongye army leader is a good start.
As an example, he was the first to open the castle of Lausand in his tribe.
However, in the conservative council of elders, his views were relatively radical at the beginning, and did not receive much support.
It's just that due to the embarrassment of the crocodile people, it is allowed to try some parts.
Unexpectedly, after opening the mouth, the car would not be able to stop. After all, the leaders of the Yong Ye army had many commodities that they could not refuse, such as food and weapons.
Using these two to clear the way is really invincible, and those elders who are opposed can't stop it, because the result of their reckless actions will only lose people's hearts, and let their own clansmen overthrow themselves, so they can only turn a blind eye. only eye.
However, the Yong Ye army leader is very clear about what the Crocodile tribe needs, and keeps them in a state of hunger. The food brought over can barely keep them from falling into a large-scale food shortage, but they never really let them eat enough.
If you want to completely fill your stomach, you must pay a price.
Some unsustainable small tribes have secretly extended an olive branch to the leader of Yongye Army.
This is an open secret in the Council of Elders, but there is no way to stop it. They can't eradicate those tribes as traitors, can they?
And if they don't want to solve the food problem, this situation will only increase.
Following the failure of the frontal battle with the Kingsley family, a pessimistic mood emerged among the crocodile tribe. Elder Weber's original rather extreme thoughts have instead become the norm and are sought after by many people.
Especially those small tribes who suffered heavy losses of ethnic soldiers and those small tribes during the war, not only because their ability to bear disasters is worse, but also because they have to beware of their own tribes, not to be annexed, once it falls into their mouths Among them, there is really not even scum left, and it has completely become a part of other ethnic groups.
At least for now, the leader of the Yongye Army has shown a relatively gentle attitude in front of them.
We have no other choice. Even if we have to endure their exploitation, it is better than genocide. I hope the other party will not do too much. Another elder, Stefani, echoed.
This female champion knight has never been to the Yongye army leader, and her understanding of them is just hearsay, and she doesn't have any feelings of like or dislike. She just starts from the perspective that is most beneficial to the crocodile tribe.
I object. Our situation is not that bad. Once they are dragged in, the situation will become even more chaotic. It was Klein who objected.
The Great Elder who had been to the Eternal Night Army had shown undisguised hostility to him from the very beginning.
Of course, this kind of hostility is not without reason. The other elders saw strict discipline from the leader of the Yongye Army, but in his eyes, it is an out-and-out powerful military government. Their current kind appearance is just a disguise. Annexation, the degree of brutality may exceed their imagination.
But he is not as good at thinking and speaking as Weber. He has no way to organize this deep worry into words and pass it on to others. The only thing he can do is resist with his own tough attitude.
With the transformation of the internal atmosphere of the Council of Elders, his resistance from beginning to end has gradually become synonymous with stubbornness, and his popularity has become worse and worse. If he hadn't been on the battlefield, he and the group he led , extremely brave, always taking the lead, charging at the front line, I am afraid that he has long been excluded from the five-member elder council.
Do you think they won't come in if we don't pull it? Don't be too naive. They are just sitting on the ground and watching. I guess their army is already ready. Even if we don't contact them, when the time is right, they will come in. They will go down the river, but in our current situation, what can we do to resist their fleet? At that time, we will be completely passive, so we might as well take advantage of the present and hold the initiative in our hands.
Weber replied unceremoniously. Obviously, he had been patient with Klein for a long time, and he had no doubts about his feelings for the crocodile tribe.
But this kind of persistence depends on the situation. What is the situation of the crocodile people now?
A careless handling will lead to eternal doom and the death of the family.
He is still carrying it here, if he continues like this, he will become a stumbling block to the survival of the crocodile tribe. ,
Then let's fight back. No matter how difficult the environment is, we still have countless soldiers full of enthusiasm. Even if the last drop of blood is shed, we will never abandon a member of the clan and lose a piece of land. Klein said with a straight neck When speaking, the expression is serious and impassioned.
It can be seen that he is not simply shouting slogans, but is really planning to do so. I don't know if others have been infected, but he moved himself first.
No-brainer! Weber couldn't help cursing angrily. He despises people who lead the entire clan to their death because of their own persistent ideas.
What qualifications do you have to do such irrational behavior on behalf of your own people?
How do you make sure that your clansman is holding the same idea as you?
Is your nobility of thought really so lofty?
Not necessarily, more like a kind of outright selfishness.
Both of you, calm down, calm down, everyone is for the continuation of the crocodile tribe's survival, there is no selfishness, why should you fight? Bishop smoothed things over with a smile.
Among the five Great Elders, this is the other one who has never been to the Eternal Night Army.
He was able to be selected, neither because of his strong personal strength, nor because of the strength of his ethnic group, but entirely because of his excellent popularity.
To put it bluntly, he is a good man, and he doesn't know if he is born this way, or because he smiles for too long, and laughter has become his only expression.
Whether you look at it from the front or from the side, you will always see the smiling face of a benevolent elder, and it is difficult to make people feel bad.
Any force needs such a person, especially the Elder Council system like the Crocodile tribe, and it needs people with good karma to mediate peace in the middle, otherwise it will be no good for anyone to fight here like Weber and Klein.
Therefore, to a certain extent, when Bishop came forward to smooth things over, it was a talisman to stop the war.
Weber and Klein snorted at the same time, turned their faces away respectively, and although they didn't reach a settlement, they didn't continue to quarrel.
Bishop made persistent efforts and said to Nidia, who had never made a statement in the five-member elder council, Great-grandmother, what's your opinion on this matter?
Judging from his appearance, Bishop was a few years older than Netia.
But in terms of age, the relationship between the two is indeed an out-and-out great-grandmother and grandson, and the blood relationship between the two parties is relatively close.
Having said that, in the Council of Elders, there are not a few people who are inextricably related to Nidia by blood.
When a person lives long enough, her age will be her greatest capital.
One more friend, one more road. Nitya said kindly and kindly, I see people with a bit of discernment. Although that little guy named Xiao En is a bit ambitious, his heart is not bad, and everything is left behind. On the front line, there is no end. Even if we crocodile people have nowhere to go, the situation will not be so bad if we vote under his banner. When you live for a long time, you will know that some things are not as good as you imagined. Important, such as the name of the crocodile tribe, this is not a title, but a spirit, a concept, which is rooted in our body and will not change with where we are. If we simply think that life In the Swamp of Despair, only the domesticated war crocodile can be called the crocodile family, that is the real narrow prejudice.
What the ancestors taught is that we are too paranoid.
Great-grandmother was right.
No matter whether she is sincerely convinced or not, when Nidia speaks, she always agrees on the surface.
Whether it is the Great Council of Elders or the Council of Elders, compared to the beginning, the attitude towards the Yongye Army Commander has undergone a great change.
Now the voice of the second communication has gained the upper hand, and the opposition forces headed by Klein have been completely drowned out under the rule that the minority obeys the majority.
