Li Ke could only accept Oudir's request. After all, Oudir was the only person he could get in touch with if he wanted to figure out what was going on with his abilities.
However, plans could never keep up with changes. Before Li Ke and Oudir could roast the potatoes and ask him about it, Sejuani had returned to the stronghold with a full load of resources and herds.
"It seems that my warrior has not only awakened, but he's also in a good condition."
She rode on her big wild boar and looked down at Li Ke who was roasting potatoes beside the bonfire with a helpless smile on her face.
"You've really embarrassed me. But it's great that you're still alive."
She jumped down from the wild boar and hugged Li Ke who was sitting on a rock. She let Li Ke's face touch her cold chest armor. Then she laughed and patted his shoulder. She seemed really happy.
"I think I'd like some gentler etiquette, Sejuani."
This intimacy made Li Ke feel that something was wrong. These people's simple concept of marriage and standards made him a little scared. That was why the warrior, who did not even blink when a sword pierced his chest and could not even dry his eyes, pushed Sejuani away and maintained his cold demeanor.
"You're really cute like this. Compared to that kind look, you have more of your demeanor on the battlefield."
But it was a pity that it had the opposite effect.
Sejuani pinched his hair because of his words. Looking at the pure white color, her eyes shone with a different kind of expression.
"I don't think our relationship is that close to the point of such a relationship."
He took back his hair from Sejuani's hand, but the result was that Sejuani's smile became more obvious. And the other warriors who saw this scene also burst into laughter.
"He's shy!"
"I didn't think that even a warrior like him would show such a side in front of the Matriarch!"
"It's alright! As long as you don't feel shy at that time! "
"Looks like the Undying Ones are also very young! Hahaha! "
Such voices and sentences rose and fell, but this time, the laughter and discussions of the warriors didn't displease Sejuani. Instead, it made her even more proud.
However, Li Ke felt out of place.
Especially the feeling of being seduced.
"Don't mind them, they're just too excited. Because of you, when we attacked their village, they didn't dare to resist at all. They didn't even have time to take the supplies and ran away. "
Sejuani took off her helmet and sat beside Li Ke. Her mount walked back to its resting place. The other warriors also stopped laughing and began to bring the supplies to where they should be.
"It doesn't matter. If I cared about these things, I would've died a long time ago … So the Matriarch called Cerna and her tribe are no threat to you?"
Li Ke wanted to tell Sejuani not to be so intimate with him. He only agreed to be her husband because of a misunderstanding. But if he said such words in front of so many people, he was afraid that he would fall out with Sejuani.
"Of course, without supplies, they can only last for half a month at most. By then, even if we don't deal with them, they will fall apart in the cold wind."
Sejuani took the wine from the side and poured it into her cowhorn cup. Then, she drank it all in a forthright manner.
"But I won't wait until then. I will find them and destroy them completely. I will tell the other tribes that this is the price for becoming enemies with the Winter Claw Tribe!"
Li Ke poked the potatoes in the fire with a branch. Then, he heard Oudir winking at him as he drank. It was clear that he wanted him to persuade Sejuani.
This was the price he had to pay for his teachings, so he had to speak up reluctantly.
"How many warriors will we lose this time and how many warriors did we lose before?"
He knew that the other party asked for it, but running a force wasn't something that could be done just by being happy. Although the Winter Claw Tribe won this time, Li Ke believed that their losses were definitely not small.
Sejuani also went silent for a while because of this matter. The expression on her face became serious again.
"Our losses are huge. More than one-fifth of our warriors died in battle. There are even more injured. But if we don't destroy them, the other tribes will think that we can't defend these territories and supplies with our strength. They will swarm over like wolves and tear us apart like prey."
Li Ke didn't understand the situation here, but judging from Oudir's expression, what she said was true.
"There should be other ways to make the other tribes not dare to attack, right?"
"Yes, that is to let them join the Winter Claw. But their Battle Matriarch is too cowardly, so it's impossible. The warriors led by such a cowardly person will only be cowardly furnace owners and not qualified warriors. "
Sejuani chuckled.
"And their tribe doesn't have any other women who can become the Battle Matriarch. If there is, their new Battle Matriarch will use her head as a sign of sincerity to join the Winter Claw Tribe when we first arrived. But it's a pity that they didn't. "
She did have plans to incorporate the Cerna Tribe, but if it was the tribe led by Cerna, she would only choose to refuse. And the reason was simple. Cerna made the decision to attack the Winter Claw Tribe, so she would never accept Cerna's surrender.
No one could survive after provoking the Winter's Claw Tribe and her!
This was the message she wanted to send to the other tribes. She wanted the other tribes to submit to her tribe, and she wanted them to always be in awe of anything related to the Winter Claw Tribe.
"But Sejuani, if we start another war, our manpower may not be enough for us to hunt later. And we don't have enough manpower to build houses to resist the snowstorm before it comes. "
Oudir spoke. He didn't want Li Ke to persuade Sejuani alone because it would only make Sejuani feel that her authority as the Battle Matriarch was offended.
"This is also a problem."
She put down the cup and looked a little distressed, but after looking at Li Ke, she became high-spirited again.
"Then let's go rob other tribes. After dealing with Cerna, the other tribes will definitely feel that our strength is weak, so we have a high chance of success. And if it's just snatching furnaces …"
Oudir couldn't hold it in anymore. He stood up and his voice was a little loud.
"Sejuani!"
Matriarch Zhan was stunned when her name was called. She looked a little angry, but after calming down, she knew how risky her words were.
"… Sorry, I'm a little too excited. Oudir, let's discuss this problem tomorrow."
But how could she admit defeat? She looked at Li Ke, then stood up and walked back to her tent.
