Chapter 219: The Plot of the Elf Tribe, The Selection of the Barbarian Tribe!
Su Han looked at him and said, “Oh? What happened?”
The barbarian leader shook his head and said, “A few years ago, our current Great Chieftain, Moore, was seriously ill. His physical condition has worsened over the past few years. Apparently, he doesn’t have much time left. Out of desperation, this Great Chieftain brought forward the selection date. In these few days, the new Great Chieftain should be promoted.”
Su Han nodded and asked some random questions. “How do you choose the Great Chieftain?”
The barbarian leader laughed and punched his own chest, saying, “Of course, whoever has the bigger fist will be the new Great Chieftain!”
Su Han said jokingly, “Then I can give it a try. Although my fist is not big, my strength is not small.”
The barbarian leader said solemnly, “Lord Su Han, you have absorbed the Bloodstone, so you are already one of us. You are fully qualified to participate in the selection of the Great Chieftain. With your strength, the position of the Great Chieftain belongs to you.”
Su Han shook his head and said with a smile, “Forget it. I don’t want to get involved in your affairs. I’ll stay for a while and then continue to go north.”
…
The Elven Empire.
The Ice Royal Court.
“It’s already been more than a month. The small team that went to the South to welcome the new King has yet to send news back!”
Inside the royal court, eight white-haired Northern Elves were sitting around a huge round table. They were having an internal high-level meeting, and their faces were extremely gloomy.
There were a total of nine seats around the round table, but one seat had been empty for almost a month.
“According to the time, the team led by the Seventh Elder should have arrived at the Southern human race half a month ago, but there is still no news from them.”
The First Elder who was sitting in the leader’s seat stood up solemnly and said, “I hope nothing unexpected will happen.”
Another Elder shook his head and said indifferently, “Perhaps they have been delayed on the road. In a few days, if they still don’t come back, I will personally lead the team to negotiate with them.”
The First Elder asked indifferently, “How are the negotiations with the barbarians in the south?”
The Elder said expressionlessly, “They are a group of barbaric beasts without any upbringing. We have already given them a chance, but that dying Great Chieftain is not willing to become our vassal and even injured our messenger.”
The First Elder said indifferently, “The Southern Barbarians are the first obstacle for us to head south. Only by understanding them will we be able to completely control the North. Now that the Southern Humans and orcs are about to launch an attack, it is our best chance. The barbarians have lost the source of the Southern Humans. They will not be a match for us.”
The Elder stood up and said with his head lowered, “Elder Sir, what should we do next?”
The First Elder said expressionlessly, “That Great Chieftain is dying. Our people have sent back information that the leaders of hundreds of barbarian tribes have all gathered in Vastaya. This is a good opportunity for us to capture them all in one go.”
The Elder narrowed his eyes and said, “Elder Sir, you mean…”
The First Elder said expressionlessly, “Destroy the entire Vastaya!”
Crack, the ground under his feet cracked open one crack after another.
…
Vastaya.
Su Han had rested in Vastaya for a night. The weather here was cold, but Su Han did not feel uncomfortable.
At noon, Su Han was awakened by a loud war drum outside.
He opened the window of the inn and looked outside. He saw a large number of barbarians on the street swarming toward the center of the city.
“Lord Su Han, the selection of the Great Chieftain is about to begin!”
The leader of the tribe walked in from outside and laughed loudly. “Sir, this is the once-in-50-years grand meeting of the Northern human race outside. If we miss today, we will have to wait another 50 years for the next general election!”
Su Han smiled and floated up, saying, “I’ll go and take a look then!”
Coming to the center of the city, the place was already packed with countless barbarians. The noisy crowd and the completely different style of the South, Su Han watched with relish.
Whether it was the architecture or the customs, they were all boorish and bold.
At this moment, Su Han saw an old barbarian being supported to sit in front of the throne on the high platform on the opposite side of the square. The noise in the square gradually died down.
“His name is Moore. He was once the strongest human warrior in the North and our current Great Chieftain,” said the leader of the tribe. “But I’m afraid he won’t live for long now.”
Su Han nodded. He had already seen through the Eye of Law that the Great Chieftain’s wheel of life had completely collapsed.
At the same time, he also saw another bad thing in his body.
“I’m afraid that your Great Chieftain is not simply infected with a disease,” Su Han said.
“Everyone, you have already seen my physical condition!” The Great Chieftain, Moore, looked at the thousands of barbarians below the stage and said in a deep voice, “I don’t have much time left, but we humans of the Northern Lands can not do without a Great Chieftain. Today, you have to show your courage and wildness in your daily battles with magical beasts. You must remember that only the strongest warriors are qualified to sit in my position. Blood and courage will be the best proof for you!”
“Strength and glory!” he roared.
“Strength and glory!” Below the stage, thousands of barbarians raised their battle axes and spears and roared loudly.
Hundreds of people who were qualified for the selection were arranged in various regions and started a battle of strength.
The leader of the tribe pointed at the nearest barbarian who had two axes. He said, “He is the leader of the largest barbarian tribe in the North, Locke. He is a powerful tier-6 warrior. Once, he relied on his own strength to go deep into the forest in the South and kill a tier-5 magical beast. He is very powerful. He is one of the most popular candidates for the Great Chieftain.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader called Locke punched through his opponent’s weapon and sent him flying, others cheering him on.
Su Han smiled slightly and said, “Very impressive.”
The strongest leader, Locke, brought his calculations to another place where there were many people. He raised his head and looked up. Su Han was slightly surprised. He did not expect that the person fighting on the field was actually a female barbarian.
That woman had wheat-colored skin and her face was painted with totem oil. Her fighting style was filled with wildness.
As expected of the barbarian tribe. Even the women’s fighting strength was so strong.
