Chapter 304 "Preparation for War"
Chapter 304 "Preparation for War"
Far East, tea bear territory Dorsey Mountains, mountain city Aalborg.
After sending off the messenger of the Black Bear Clan, the aged Tea Bear Patriarch Okur staggered back to the Elder Hall, propped his fat body on his arms and slowly sat cross-legged on the blanket sent by the Snow Werewolf, his eyes sweeping To all the elders in the hall, he said in a deep voice: "What do you think of the purpose of the Black Bear Clan coming this time?"
The elders looked at each other, and finally focused their attention on Elder Kuku.
Elder Kuku was still angry, and immediately patted his thigh angrily: "The condensed milk distillation machine was sent by our prairie friend who braved the heavy snow and crossed the York Mountains in the winter of the year before last, let alone a set of equipment. Now, even a single part is very precious and must not be given to them!"
The three sets of vacuum distillation equipment transported to the Far East by the prairie people were sold at cost price to the Tea Bear and the Lion Clan, who jointly engage in the milk tea industry, and the freight was confiscated; No matter how good-tempered these fat people are, it is impossible for these fat people to bear this kind of equipment that can turn difficult-to-preserve fresh milk into condensed milk.
"That's right, I can't give it to you!" Another elder said, "It's not just our tea bears. They want it, let the Lion Clan let it go!"
As soon as these words came out, the tea bear elders from all the villages in the elder hall nodded together... The lion tribe is so stingy and greedy, unless the beast emperor's own conscripts go to the golden plain, those guys will never give up their own land. Even a grain of wheat~!
One of the younger elders smiled "hehe", and the pair of round eyes on his simple and honest face showed a shrewd look: "If the Emperor Xiong is really willing to lead the army to fight the Lion Clan at this time, it would be fun to see gone."
"Isn't it? The Elephant Clan still has a headache and can't reach an agreement with the Lion Clan! If the Lion Clan is willing to stand with the Elephant Clan, how many people in the Imperial House of Elders will be shaken?"
"That's right, the guys from the ape clan have more to say. Maybe they can directly occupy the wetland south of the sea border. The ape clan can definitely do this kind of thing."
"Why don't we contact the elephant clan first..."
"No, the direction of the wind is not yet clear..."
The tea bear elders have no scruples in internal discussions, and the true nature of the naughty face is fully exposed-the anti-bear king hegemony alliance of various ethnic groups that started last year, the tea bear who does business closely with the prairie people, did not join at all...
The tea bear patriarch, who was too old and had been maintaining his spirit in the form of a bear, raised a paw, and the elders who were talking a lot stopped immediately.
"We must not get involved in the dispute between the elders of the elders." The tea bear patriarch Okur made a conclusion first, then paused, and then said, "The bear emperor is still there, and the black bear clan will always be the largest clan in the Far East. Open confrontation is not wise."
Older elders like Elder Kuku bowed their heads, but the younger ones were not convinced. The young elder who spoke at the beginning said unhappily: "Moon Bear lost troops in the cursed land, and even lost the general. , this time the Xionghuang conscription did not use the white bears in the north, which means that the white bears might not agree with Xionghuang's decision, if the elephant tribe can win over the lion tribe, why can't they fight against the black bear?"
The head of the tea bear patriarch, Okur, slowly shook his head: "The elephant clan has attracted the elders of the wing clan, fox clan, pika clan, and ape clan. It seems that there are many people, but it is just a look. Really The only ones capable of fighting are the Elephants and the Apes. Don’t forget that big clans like the Canines are currently choosing to wait and see.”
After a pause, Okur narrowed his eyes slightly: "Furthermore...if the Lion Clan joins and the Elephant Clan is qualified to fight against the Black Bears, who can guarantee that the Elephant Clan will not become the next Black Bear Clan?"
"But... now in the Far East, isn't it precisely because Emperor Xiong alone has the final say that there are so many problems?" The young Elder Tea Xiong still couldn't accept it.
Okur smiled, and looked at the young man kindly: "That's what the prairie people and the snow elves publicized with such fanfare in order to attack the prestige of the Bear Emperor, not to mention the Far East, even our little tea If the Xiong family cannot follow the same will, but a bunch of people are arguing non-stop, then our own family will be in chaos. The elves only respect the will of the elf king, and the prairie people obey the will of the king of Huoyan City , is no different from Far East following the will of Emperor Xiong."
The young elder was completely dumbfounded...
"Of course, the Elephant Clan can make the Emperor Xiong worry, which is not a bad thing for us weak races, so we tea bears will also push the boat along the way and help the prairie people and snow elves. But restricting the power of the Emperor Xiong and It is not the same thing to bring down the Emperor Xiong. If the Emperor Xiong falls, it is nothing but the transfer of the will of the empire representing the supremacy from one big clan to another, and it will not benefit us small clans. The elephant clan Challengers, it is best to be only challengers for a long period of time, and we must try our best to fight for the interests we deserve during the period when these two heroes are competing."
Okur taught the young elders slowly, his tone was still very slow, but none of the young elders dared to interrupt him, and all of them listened very seriously and had a very honest attitude.
"The black bear wants a milk condensing machine, so we will give it to them." The patriarch Okur smiled kindly and said forcefully, "Naturally, we have our own difficulties. The three sets of equipment are shared by the Lion Clan and our Clan, and our Clan has at most one We can donate one set, but we can help convince the lion clan to give up one set... When we set foot on the land of the prairie people with money, how many sets of the same equipment can't be bought? It can be solved with money Why do you need to add trouble to the matter."
The elders nodded one after another, and Elder Kuku, who was reluctant at first, also accepted the wishes of the patriarch.
"Don't feel reconciled, everyone. They still need our tea. The price they paid will be earned back sooner or later. Well, this matter is over. What do you think about the candidates for the grassland?"
"I want to send some studious young people to learn the knowledge of grassland people." Elder Kuku hurriedly said, "I asked Mr. Primo about the grain output of grassland people, and their wheat can produce more than 500 catties per mu. wheat ears, and the reason is that they used two things that we don't know, one is called 'agricultural fertilizer' and the other is called 'pesticide', I want young people to go and see if they can learn from it."
Another elder who also dealt with "Businessman" Primo said: "It is very necessary to do this. Like us, they can plant two seasons of potatoes every year, but their annual output of potatoes per mu is actually 5000. How many catties, twice as much as ours."
The elders of the village who were not on the "trading" route of Primo all stared round, and rushed to say: "Let the young people in our village follow, they are very hardworking, and they will not eat the food of the grassland people in vain. , During the study period, I will work hard to grow my rations."
The tea bear patriarch Okur nodded with a smile: "Let's go to a few young people in each village. If some people can't learn it, there will always be someone who can learn it. The Emperor Xiong asked us to send troops, but he didn't ask for all soldiers, except for [-] soldiers. , other candidates can be discussed.”
All the simple faces were smiling happily, and each counted how many "soldiers" they would send out with their fingers...
In the Lion City on the golden plain, the elders of the Lion Clan are also discussing this "dispatch of troops"... Of course, the painting style of the Lion Clan is fundamentally different from that of the tea bear.
"Going to at least 3000 people? It's too much trouble, it's such a long way to go!"
"That's right, Primo also brought a message, saying that during their stay there, they had to work to earn food rations, and our people traveled thousands of miles to support themselves. Who wants to go!"
"How about letting those single male lions go? Anyway, they have nothing to do when they lie down every day."
"How many people do you have to arrange to watch those guys go to the place honestly?"
"It's so troublesome! What's wrong with Emperor Xiong, throwing this kind of thing on us?!"
"Ah, I've heard from the Elder Elder about this. Originally, Emperor Xiong wanted the Elephant Clan to send troops, but the Elder Elder of the Elephant Clan refused, so Emperor Xiong chose us, a small tribe that is close to the grassland people..."
"The Emperor Xiong and the Elder of the Elephant Clan should just go and have a fight. Whoever loses will send troops. It's none of our business!"
This group of male lion elders who didn't even sit down to talk about business in the elders' meeting hall, and were full of complaints, successfully angered the lioness patriarch and lioness Natalie who sat at the top.
"Sit upright and talk to me!" Patriarch Natalie roared, "Whoever complains again will lose the special fresh juice for next month!"
The male lion elders who were paralyzed on the ground had to lazily get up and sit cross-legged.
Patriarch Natalie is also used to seeing the virtues of her family members, so she sat upright and turned to Elder Xiu, who had just been in office for a few years: "Xiu, what do you think?"
In the presbytery of the Lion Clan, there are more female lions than male lions, which is also unavoidable... The racial characteristics of the Lion Clan are like this, and the male lions seem to have grown lazy bones.The male lions who can serve as elders are at least willing to come to the meeting hall to discuss matters. If they were replaced by ordinary people, they probably just found a place facing the sun on the way to the meeting hall to lie down and bask in the sun.
Mrs. Xiu, who has only been an elder for a few years, is still not used to such formal occasions, so she said cautiously: "It is impossible for us to fight against Emperor Xiong, we must send someone there. But I don't think it is necessary for the soldiers to Let’s all go, just go for two or three hundred, and they can protect the team on the way. Uh...or we can wait for the tea bears to set off all the way, and their people can cook for us on the way.”
Mrs. Xiu's last words won the heart of Patriarch Natalie, and this old lioness looked at Mrs. Xiu's eyes suddenly much softer...
"That's right, who knows what kind of crooked idea Xiong Huang will come up with after we run out of soldiers? Let's go to a hundred soldiers!" Patriarch Natalie patted her thigh and said, "If there are not enough people, we will catch them from the single lions in the outer city. Let’s make up the numbers and tell them that as long as they arrive in Huoyan City, they will be able to eat the food made by the Snow Werewolves there for two or three years! As for the need to work to earn rations, let’s not talk about it. Anyway, they won’t move when they get there. The Snow Werewolves won't give them food either. If you suffer a little more outside, maybe it will make them work harder."
The male lion elders were all dumbfounded...
Patriarch Natalie's last words made Mrs. Xiu's eyes shine brightly: "Good idea, then let Rex go too! I heard that grassland people are very hardworking, so let Rex learn their strengths. "
Mrs. Xiu was really dissatisfied with her husband for a long time!That is the hatred accumulated over the years!
Patriarch Natalie had an expression of "I didn't expect to have this trick" on her face, and immediately looked at a male lion elder with piercing eyes.
The patriarch's husband, a male lion of the same age, shivered subconsciously.
