Chapter 307 Calling the name of [Rhine]!
"Barbarian Ax Tribe? Start a war?"
Hearing this, Xia En couldn't help but frown.
From these several experiences of entering the [Forge Secret Realm], he has some understanding of the situation near the [Warhammer Tribe].
I know that there are three tribes of different sizes around the [Warhammer Tribe].
They are [Barbarian Ax Tribe], [Gushan Tribe] and [Yang Yan Tribe].
Among them, the first two are not much different from the [Warhammer Tribe] in terms of overall strength. They are both small "Bronze-level tribes."
The scale of the [Sunfire Tribe] is very large. The total population of the tribe is almost three times that of the [Warhammer Tribe], and it is considered a "Silver Level Tribe" in the [Forge Realm].
As for the conflict between the [Wild Ax Tribe] and the [Warhammer Tribe], it has actually been going on for a long time. It's not something that happened in a day or two, but it has been around for decades.
A hundred years ago, these two tribes were one family, and the heads of the two tribes were even brothers.
However, due to some conflict that cannot be verified now, the two clan leaders turned against each other and eventually split into two tribes, the Barbarian Axe and the Warhammer.
Since then, there have been frictions and struggles, large and small, between the two parties.
But what makes Xia En strange is.
Obviously the combat power of [Barbarian Ax Tribe] is similar to that of [Warhammer Tribe], and even [Warhammer Tribe] has a strong man like themselves who can defeat [Fire Lizard King].
If a war really breaks out, even if they can defeat the [Warhammer Tribe], they will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties.
[Barbarian Ax Tribe] Why did you suddenly decide to start a war?
Seemingly seeing Xia En's doubts, Hope explained: "With the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] alone, naturally we don't have the courage to start a war directly."
"But it is said...this Once they received support from the [Yangyan Tribe]."
"Even the first warrior of the [Yangyan Tribe], Explosive Lie Yangyan, will join the battle as a reinforcement."
Xia. En frowned slightly and murmured: "The support of [Yang Yan Tribe]..."
At this time, he also had a certain understanding of the various titles in the dwarf tribe.
The so-called "First Warrior" is both a title and a position, specifically referring to the strongest person in the tribe.
The participation of the first warrior in the battle itself represents the importance that [Yang Yan Tribe] attaches to this battle.
However, Xia En couldn't help but be a little curious.
[The Wild Ax Tribe] went to war with the [Warhammer Tribe] because of their past grudges.
Why did [Yangyan Tribe] choose to intervene?
Is it simply to expand power and accommodate more people?
Shane expressed his doubts directly to Hope.
Hearing this, Hope suddenly said: "By the way, you have lost part of your memory, no wonder you have forgotten this matter."
He led Xia En out of the cave and pointed to the underground space Said the huge furnace in the center.
"Each tribe will have its own natal furnace. If you look carefully at the height of the furnace, what can you see?"
Xia En followed Hope's finger, observed carefully, and soon saw——
On the top of the huge furnace, there are some strange lines, which are like carved murals and totems used in the barbaric period, revealing an ancient and mysterious temperament.
However, no matter what it is, it has very obvious flaws.
In other words, it is just a small part of a huge whole.
"That is our ancestral totem."
Hope looked at those lines and said with reverence: "According to legend, our dwarves are not actually the aborigines of this world, but came from another world. Migrated here."
"The totem of our ancestors is the key to our ability to gain a foothold in this world."
"The way it used to resist the attacks of the [Fire Lizard King] was the ancestors. In addition to the efficacy of the totem, it also has many magical abilities."
At this point, Hope couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just that because it has existed for too long, the power in it is gradually passing away."
"I'm afraid it is for this reason that the [Yangyan Tribe] is determined to attack us. ?”
Xia En touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
After hearing these words, he truly understood the origin of the dwarves in the [Forge Secret Realm], as well as some deeper secrets.
Moreover, Xia En quickly realized something and asked.
"You mean... the reason why [Yang Yan Tribe] took action was for our ancestral totem?"
"That's right."
Hope nodded: "In the tribe In the oral history, the original ancestral totem should be intact."
"But due to an unknown incident, the ancestral totem fell into pieces and finally became part of the natal melting pot of each dwarf tribe."< br>
“In this case, of course there will be people who want to make the totem complete and make the dwarves great again.”
"At the same time, it is also to strengthen one's own tribe."
"It is said that in those more distant places, tribes have collected more than a dozen pieces of ancestral totems and developed several new uses of ancestral totems."
Hope smiled bitterly: "Actually, even I have had such an idea. Unfortunately, my talent is too limited."
Then, he Looking at Xia En expectantly, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he murmured.
“But, if you are the one with the blood of the God of War, maybe you can...”
"Blood of the God of War?"
Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What is that?"
This was the first time he heard this statement.
“Originally, these secrets should have been told to you after you became the clan leader, but now, we don’t have much time left.”
Hope said seriously: “In the first batch The dwarves who moved into this world all have the powerful blood of the God of War flowing in their bodies, which gives them great strength, strong recovery ability, and innate ability to fight.”
"However, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer dwarves with the blood of the God of War."
"In other words, the blood in our bodies has fallen asleep and the power cannot be manifested."
“And the reason why you were able to defeat [Fire Lizard King] must be because you awakened the power of the blood of the God of War at the critical moment of life and death.”
“Maybe your amnesia is also due to the influence of The impact of this power.”
Hearing this, Shane immediately understood that this was Hope’s misunderstanding!
Where does he have the blood of the God of War? The reason why he can burst out with such strong combat power is entirely due to the numerical values and mechanism brought by [Projection Body] - oh no, it is sweat and hard work!
However, Shane was also happy to see Hope have such a misunderstanding.
Otherwise, his rapid improvement in strength would be difficult to explain with common sense.
At the same time, Kull on the side also heard Hope's story.
When he heard words such as "after becoming the patriarch" and "blood of the god of war", the face of the bearded dwarf became paler to the naked eye.
The whole person's demeanor became a little depressed.
Even when facing Xia En's casual glance, his eyes would dodge.
Shane vaguely guessed what Hope meant by letting Kuhl hear these words.
The old patriarch may have guessed some of Kull's thoughts, so he wanted to use these words to completely make him give up.
At the same time, it also uses a relatively gentle way to eliminate the conflicts between the two.
Although Kuhl will be sad in the short term, it will be a good thing in the long term.
After all, Kull is also a member of the Warhammer tribe and a very good craftsman.
From Hope's point of view, this approach is undoubtedly a wise choice - it can be said to be the so-called "wisdom of old people", right?
Shane saw Hope's thoughts, but did not say more on this topic, but continued.
“Let’s not talk about the blood of the God of War for now, I still feel a little strange.” “How could [Yangyan Tribe] assist [Barbarian Ax Tribe] at this time?”
“With their strength, they should have been able to defeat us before, right?”
Unlike the Barbarian Ax tribe who are on equal footing with peace, the Yangyan tribe is a silver-level dwarf tribe, far more powerful than Warhammer. above the tribe.
In Xia En's opinion, the time they chose to start the war was a bit too coincidental.
Hope nodded: "That's right."
"There are actually many reasons behind this."
"First of all, the terrain of our world makes it difficult to implement large-scale long-distance travel and marching operations. No matter how strong [Yangyan Tribe] is, the range of radiation is actually Limited."
Xia En understood: "That's true."
There are no flat plains in [The Furnace Secret Realm], only large and small, rugged tunnels and caves.
It’s not that it’s impossible to pull out a large army to start a war, but it’s quite difficult.
——This is also the reason why [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and [Warhammer Tribe] were able to live in peace before.
Hope continued: "Secondly, I guess... [Yangyan Tribe] may have obtained another totem fragment related to our totem, so they chose to take action."
< br>Shane: "Associated totem fragments? What does this mean?"
Hope explained: "The power that a single totem fragment can exert is limited."
"But if you find the pieces that fit it and put it together into a more complete figure, its power will increase exponentially."
Upon hearing this, Xia En understood instantly.
Together with the dwarves’ ancestral totems there is a puzzle!
In the past, the totem of [Sunfire Tribe] may have been a puzzle piece that had nothing to do with [Warhammer Tribe].
Now, since we have found a matching puzzle piece, we might as well include the piece of [Warhammer Tribe] to form a larger totem.
"The last reason is..."
Hope showed a wry smile: "I don't know why recently, the frequency of [Fire Seeds] near us has become much higher, and the ground roars occur from time to time."
"Maybe the [Yangyan Tribe] also produces You feel a sense of crisis and want to increase your strength as soon as possible?"
"..."
Xia En's mouth twitched slightly.
To put it bluntly, this reason is really inseparable from his arrival.
Suddenly, Xia En thought of another question: "Chief Hope, where did you get the information about the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and the [Yangyan Tribe]?"
Transportation to [The Furnace Secret Realm] It is so inconvenient and the spread of news is extremely blocked.
Being able to know this information in advance is an incredible thing.
Hearing this question, Hope couldn't help but have a complicated expression on his face and answered.
“Actually, we learned this after intercepting a secret letter sent to Kuhl’s wife.”
"Kur's wife?"
Xia En looked at Kull beside him, and suddenly remembered that his wife Mary was originally a member of the [Wild Ax Tribe].
Now, the meaning of this secret letter seems to be clear at a glance.
“No, it’s not like that!”
At this time, Kuhl finally couldn’t help but retort: “Mary definitely didn’t mean that, this is definitely sowing discord!”
"In our tribe, Mary is not the only woman from the Wild Ax tribe."
Hope shook his head with some disappointment: "You have been with Mary for so long, and you still haven't seen her clearly. The essence of it?”
“No matter what, she must be kept in confinement during this period and no one is allowed to visit!”
“Marry can’t be released until the war is over”< br>
Kul opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Why is this..."
"Kool."
Shane walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said.
"War is cruel, you have to be mentally prepared in advance."
Kul was startled by Shane's slap and quickly took two or three steps back. , a completely frightened bird.
Xia En looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "What's wrong? Am I so scary?"
"Or is it more terrifying than facing the [Fire Lizard] alone?"
As if aware of the deep meaning of Xia En's words, Kull's face became even paler, and his body began to tremble slightly.
He swallowed and said with difficulty: "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'll leave first."
After that, Kull left quickly as if he was running away in a hurry. .
Seeing Kuhl's performance, Hope completely gave up the idea of naming him as the next successor.
A weak, timid and indecisive person is not worthy of becoming the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe].
However, after all, Kuhl was raised by Hope, and he sighed softly.
"I hope Kull can overcome this hurdle and cheer up as soon as possible."
Shane said meaningfully: "I believe he will."
……
...
After leaving the cave.
Kul staggered towards his small home, his back looking extremely embarrassed.
There was strong fear in Kull's eyes, and he guessed in his heart: "What I just said...did Bronzebeard remember it?"
"He discovered my previous conspiracy. ”
"This, this is impossible!"
Kool subconsciously didn't want to believe this.
After all, this means that Bronzebeard is bound to take revenge on himself.
Now, Bronzebeard is not only the number one warrior of the Warhammer tribe, but also the confirmed next leader.
If he wanted revenge, where would he be able to survive?
Not to mention that now, his wife Mary is still locked up.
The Warhammer Tribe and the Wild Ax Tribe are about to go to war!
Thinking of this, Coulton suddenly felt that life was gloomy and his heart was extremely despairing.
How can he live like this!
But when Kuhl returned to his cave in despair, he found an extra one on the stone table...
Paper made of unknown leather.
"This is?"
Kool didn't know why, so he carefully opened the roll of paper, and it was written in ancient fonts.
