The stone chamber fell into a short silence. The messenger of the Ghost Fox Tribe was prepared to be reserved for a moment and take out a shocking gift when the two in front of him opened their mouths. Only in this way could he achieve the effect and goal that the tribe leader had told him before he came. But after he lowered his head and waited for a long time, he found that things seemed to be somewhat different from what he had expected.
Whether it was the trusted tribe leader of the Black Fire Tribe or the black-robed priest who had recently become a terrifying legend in the Northern Wilderness, none of them had the intention to speak or respond.
The silent atmosphere quickly turned into an inexplicable and heavy pressure, making the Ghost Fox Tribe emissary feel depressed and his forehead slightly sweaty.
After a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his head and secretly glanced at the two in front of him. He saw that the two in front of him seemed to be frowning slightly, but they didn't seem to have the intention to speak.
The Ghost Fox Emissary really couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his voice and said, "My lords, I am under the orders of our tribe leader to present a generous gift to the Black Fire Tribe!"
Huo Yan glanced at Lu Chen and saw that his face was indifferent, as if he didn't care. Huo Yan also glanced at the Ghost Fox Emissary and said lightly, "Oh, what is the generous gift?"
Hearing him speak, the originally somewhat cold and oppressive atmosphere in the air suddenly relaxed a lot.
The Ghost Fox Emissary finally let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly said with a smile, "This generous gift is the friendship of our tribe leader and the entire Ghost Fox Tribe. The tribe leader asked me to tell you that from now on, the Ghost Fox Tribe is willing to follow the Black Fire Tribe and become an ally that will never betray you. In any war or fight, the warriors of the Ghost Fox Tribe will stand beside the warriors of the Black Fire Tribe. No matter how dangerous the situation is, we will face it together with the Black Fire Tribe and kill the enemy together. We will never retreat! "
Huo Yan raised his eyebrows and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face. Although the Ghost Fox Emissary spoke in a dignified manner, the meaning of the Ghost Fox Tribe's decision to bow down to the Black Fire Tribe could not be more obvious. At most, they probably wanted to preserve their tribe's faith and didn't want to end up like the Divine Wood Tribe and the Mountain Spirit Tribe. As for the rest, it seemed like the Ghost Fox tribe was completely willing to follow the orders of the Black Fire tribe.
At this moment, perhaps the Ghostly Fox Envoy felt that he had not made himself clear enough, so he took another step forward and said, "As long as our two tribes form an alliance, the Thunder Lizard Tribe will be the only tribe left in the northern region of the wasteland. When the time comes, we'll attack them together. No matter how capable they are, only death awaits them!"
This was probably the first tribe in the northern part of the Wilderness to surrender so straightforwardly in more than a hundred years.
Huo Yan was about to speak, but at this moment, he suddenly saw Lu Chen also turn his head to look in his direction, and then shook his head slightly.
Huo Yan froze, swallowing the words he was about to say. A moment later, he saw Lu Chen walking in front of the Ghost Fox Emissary, "Were you sent by the Ghost Fox Clan Leader?"
Facing this mysterious black-robed priest, the Ghost Fox Emissary did not dare to slight him. Even from his appearance, he seemed to respect this priest more than he did the Black Fire tribe leader Huo Yan. He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes."
"This is an important matter that concerns the future of your entire tribe. Have you confirmed it?"
The Ghost Fox Emissary said resolutely, "What I said just now is absolutely true!"
Lu Chen snorted and said, "Since it's such an important matter, why didn't your Clan Leader come himself?"
The Ghost Fox Emissary was shocked, then looked at Huo Yan and laughed dryly. He stammered, "Clan Leader, this … actually, this, you know …"
There were some words that the Ghost Fox Emissary did not say out loud, but in fact, everyone in the house understood what he meant.
Now that the Black Fire tribe was so powerful, even with a somewhat crazy aura, they had slaughtered the Divine Wood Tribe and the Mountain Spirit Tribe like a gale sweeping away fallen leaves. If the Ghost Fox tribe leader really dared to come to the Black Fire tribe for a discussion, then no one could guarantee that the Black Fire tribe would not take the opportunity to attack him.
But understanding was one thing, but even so, it was obvious that this black-robed priest did not intend to reason with the Ghost Fox Emissary.
"This won't do," the black-robed priest said to the Ghost Fox Emissary very simply.
The Ghost Fox Emissary was stunned and said, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"If you want to give a gift to our Clan Leader, sure, but your Clan Leader must come himself." Lu Chen said lightly, "This is a matter that will decide the fate of your entire tribe. Sending a messenger that we don't even know to say a few words is not acceptable. We don't accept it."
The Ghost Fox Emissary was furious and said, "What if our Clan Leader comes and there's danger?"
Lu Chen ignored his question and said to himself, "If he doesn't come, then we will directly send troops to attack the Ghost Fox tribe."
The Ghost Fox Emissary was so angry that his face turned green. He said angrily, "Sir, if you continue to be so unreasonable, then our Ghost Fox tribe will be forced to form an alliance with the Thunder Lizard tribe. That won't do you any good, right?"
Huo Yan smiled and walked to Lu Chen's side. After glancing at him, he faintly said, "The words of our High Priestess are my thoughts. Also, I can answer you. If the Ghost Fox tribe leader doesn't come, we will send troops to attack you. If you form an alliance with the Thunder Lizard tribe, we will send troops to attack both of your tribes. In short, there's no difference between exterminating one tribe and exterminating two tribes … "
When this was said, the Ghost Fox Emissary's face changed greatly. It seemed that he did not know what to say for a moment.
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Bring back Huo Yan tribe leader's words and tell your Clan Leader. Also, tell him one more thing. Tell him that I said it. Now that the Black Fire tribe wants to exterminate both of your tribes, it's as easy as lifting a finger. Whether you form an alliance or not has nothing to do with us. "
After saying this, he turned and walked out.
Huo Yan looked at the Ghost Fox Emissary and said, "Three days later, five miles west of the Black Fire camp, tell your Clan Leader to come and see me."
After saying that, he ignored the Ghost Fox Envoy, who was filled with shock and astonishment, and directly walked out.
…
Walking in the tribe's camp, two men walked side by side. Along the way, almost all of the Black Fire tribesmen bowed their heads in respect or made way for them. No one came close or talked to them.
Huo Yan suddenly sighed.
Lu Chen looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"
Huo Yan's face looked a little bleak. He said, "In the past, when I walked in the camp like this, the tribesmen, big or small, were very close to me. Many people would greet me and joke with me. Some children would even run over to play with me. But now, they don't."
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "They are afraid of me. Of course, maybe they are afraid of you."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I think they are afraid of both of us."
Huo Yan was silent and then nodded.
"Do you believe what that person said?" Huo Yan changed the topic and asked Lu Chen.
Lu Chen said, "I think it's most likely true. The Ghost Fox tribe is the most cunning. They probably saw that our Black Fire tribe has been unusually strong recently and they don't want to face us head on, so they came up with this trick."
Huo Yan smiled and said, "Do you believe them or not?"
Lu Chen sneered and said, "If the Thunder Lizard tribe suddenly has a Shaman who is much stronger than us tomorrow, do you think the Ghost Fox tribe will suddenly stab our Black Fire warriors in the back on the battlefield?"
Huo Yan thought for a moment and said, "This is really hard to say. But as the tribe leader, as long as it is possible, I will not let my warriors fall into this kind of danger!"
Lu Chen nodded his head and said, "You are right. This Ghost Fox tribe harbors evil intentions. Three days later, we will go and meet their tribe leader. If they are truly sincere in pledging their allegiance, there is no harm in accepting them. But if they are unwilling to surrender …"
He glanced at Huo Yan. Huo Yan smiled faintly and said, "Hurry up and engrave the Black Fire Runes on the Mountain Spirit Tribe's Black Fire Guardians. It will be useful."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Okay."
