Mage Joan

Chapter 101: The coup in the swamp (Ⅰ)

"Unfortunately, the past peace time is gone." Weiss sighed and said quietly, "At the beginning of this month, a goblin diplomat who called himself "Sir McKinney" came to our camp. , This person claims to be from the'Screaming Forest' and represents General Leto, the Goblin Lord and'Dinosaur Conqueror', with our cold-blooded tribe in formal negotiations on alliances."

The name "Letu" Joan felt familiar, thinking about it for a while before thinking of listening to Kandy's parents, this man is the leader of the screaming forest, the leader of tens of thousands of goblins, and has been ambitiously expanding its sphere of influence in recent years. , Has posed a serious threat to the village of Powatán.

"You have already formed an alliance with the Goblin family?" Joan asked anxiously.

"In fact, my father rejected Sir McKinney's alliance proposal face to face." Weiss looked gloomy. "There are three main reasons for refusing alliance. One is that our lizardfolk and goblin families have an endless vendetta against each other for many years. Since the conflict has continued, it is difficult for both parties to truly trust each other. Instead of making an unreliable friend, it is better to keep a distance with a knife in the back of the other side. It is better to keep a distance; the second is that Le Tu is too ambitious and my father hates it most in his life. Dealing with ambitions and forming alliances with people like Letu is like jumping on an out-of-control speedboat. It seems to be awe-inspiring in the wind and waves. In fact, it lurks a huge risk. Life, he didn’t want to be related to that kind of ambitious warlord; the last reason my father refused to form an alliance with the “king of goblins” was that he didn’t want to offend humanity in order to please Le Tu.”

"Offend humanity?" Dick couldn't help asking, "What is the relationship between the lizardmen and the goblins and our humanity?"

"Of course there is a close stake!" said the Lizardman sternly. "Why do you think Letu is eager to win allies? The purpose is to expand his power as soon as possible, once he thinks that enough power has gathered under his banner Will wage war against the surrounding villages and towns, killing human inhabitants in the most brutal and **** way, first of all in the Algonquin Valley, and then it is likely that you, the town of Delin, are bringing the entire Yalfheim into their own rule Before, the Goblin Lord would never stop conquering."

"If we lizardmen are involved in this war, they will be brutally retaliated against by the human army. My father knows that humans are the most dangerous races in Alfheim, with the most advanced civilization and the most lethal of this era. Weapons and the most powerful army, angering mankind is equivalent to digging a grave. Why do we lizardmen spend a good life? However, follow the madman of Letu on the road of self-destruction!" Weiss flushed with excitement.

Joan silently listened to the story of Prince Lizardman. Now that Wiss’ father is soberly aware that an alliance with goblins is not a wise choice, it should be reasonable to return to the request of the absolute party. The Lizardmen will also be strictly neutral between the two opposing camps of humans and goblins, and the big swamp will be calm and calm. How can Wes be his prince, how can he be reduced to his present situation? This shows that this matter is not over yet.

Then as he expected, Weis calmed down his excitement and hissed, "My father wanted to drive Sir McKinney away, but some people in the clan stood out to sing a contradiction and openly advocated an alliance with the goblin clan. , This is Elder Basong, and the strength and qualifications of the tribe are second only to my father’s other big shaman."

Joan exchanged glances with the Dingdall brothers, and all smelled the power struggle from Weiss's account.

"Elder Basong and Letu are actually not surprising, because he is also an ambitious person. He often criticized my father for being too weak in the elders meeting, tolerating the expansion of human beings, and publicly inciting people to attack human villages by violence. , Plundering their wealth, many young people believed in his gossip, and became more and more impulsive and aggressive. The strict restraint on my father also became more and more impatient, and even planned a private plot to overthrow my father. The rule of the elders promoted Elder Basong to the throne of the leader." When Vis mentioned Elder Basong, there was a grudge in his words.

"In other words, this elder Basong left a goblin diplomat and made it clear that he wanted to challenge the authority of your father through the power of Letu and seek to replace your father. How did your father fight back? Asked Roger Dingdall.

"On the night three days ago, my father and I discussed this issue. We all believed that Elder Basong’s growing ambition would jeopardize the safety of the tribe, and we must take decisive measures to deprive him of his elder title and surname and expel him. Tribe!” Weiss seemed to understand that Joan and the Dindal brothers did not understand, and further explained, “The virtue we value most is honor and loyalty, and these two virtues are closely related to the tribe, loyal to the tribe, for A tribe who wins honor is a hero. Conversely, if a lizardman commits a serious crime, he may be deprived of his surname and no longer be regarded as a tribe of the tribe. A lizardman who loses his surname is the most shameful sinner and has no honor. It can be said that his presence will shame the tribe and have to stay away from family and friends and spend the rest of his life alone."

"My father decided to announce the trial of Elder Bason at the meeting of the elders held the next day, but we did not expect that the insidious Bason was already guarded and even brought that goblin diplomat to the meeting. In this way, I Father will not be able to try Bassoon as planned, lest outsiders will see our jokes."

"Basong not only didn't understand my father's painstaking efforts to maintain tribal honor, but also brazenly asked for an in-depth discussion on the alliance between my family and the Goblin "screaming tribe", so that the participants would all come to listen to the talkative McKinney Sir explained the benefits of the alliance between the two communities, and finally all the elders and nobles who participated in the meeting voted together to support the alliance with the screaming tribe." Weiss said bitterly.

"The lizardmen's meeting of elders sounds similar to our parliament in Delrin." Dick commented. "The mayor or the elder elders do not have the power of the king's arbitrariness. If they want to pass a proposal, they have to win a majority. Participants’ support, the question is... Weiss, can your father’s supporters make up the majority in Parliament?"

"Of course!" Weiss said without hesitation. "Including myself, at least eight of the thirteen people who are eligible to attend Parliament support my father. Basong won a maximum of five votes."
