"The Patriarch Campaign: Female Support Group"
Although the flood has receded, its effects on the northern jungles are still there.
The water in the Beast River was very turbid, and it was no longer in the state where it was so clear that you could drink it with your hands.
Most of the low and fragile trees in the jungle were broken, and some were even uprooted. The dense jungle now looks sparse and awkward.
The ground that was originally covered with moss and fallen leaves is also covered with a layer of compacted mud, which affects both sightlines and ecology.
Many animals lost their lives in this catastrophe, and only a few clever ones were carefully hiding in their nests. The originally bustling jungle was terribly quiet at this time.The morning birds chirped intermittently, and the running animals were sparse, and the food for the orcs suddenly decreased.
All problems need to be solved urgently.
On a very ordinary evening, the patriarchs of the three tribes summoned all the orcs to the central square.Clearly, there was something big to announce.
Due to the bad situation in the past few days, the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.
Ebony was brought out as the speaker as the youngest of the three patriarchs.
"A news has been circulating in the tribe a few days ago, I believe everyone has heard of it." Ebony's voice is clear and soft, which is in line with his elegant temperament - if you don't talk about his dark and arrogant nature.
The orcs whispered to each other when they heard the words, whispering to each other whether they were the new patriarch.
Ebony coughed lightly, and waited until the surrounding 4000 males and females were quiet before slowly saying: "Yes, I think the clansmen have guessed that the newly merged clan will elect a new clan leader. The two patriarchs discussed and decided that the new patriarch should be chosen among the younger generation of orcs."
Even though the gossip had spread widely, everyone couldn't help being surprised when they heard it with their own ears.
The patriarch did not choose an experienced and mature orc, but an immature and unsteady young man—it must be said that this situation was unprecedented.
Take the Central Tribes as an example, even if Buren resigns, there will still be Dahl’s generation, and there will be Uya under Dahl, why should they be skipped and selected in Ryan’s generation?A big question mark was drawn in the hearts of the orcs at the same time.
"As for why such a decision was made, I think an explanation should be given to the clansmen." Ebony glanced around and continued, "Everyone has seen that from the last winter when the beast horde was driven back, to this time Resisting the flood and rain, the young orcs have been rushing forward and doing a lot for the whole tribe."
"Maybe they are inexperienced and not strong enough, but their heart and wisdom are enough to make up for it. What's more, these defects will slowly accumulate as they grow. They are still young, and they have plenty of time and energy. But we are old. , I no longer have the courage to start from scratch.”
"The new tribe must have many problems. This requires an orc with courage, heart, and daring to think and do. He will become stronger with our tribe. Those who meet this condition are not old and experienced. Seniors, but young people full of fighting spirit. Fortunately, there are really some good enough candidates in our generation of orcs."
When Ebony said this, his eyes swept across the faces of Ryan, Honghao, Runrun and Chang Nian one by one, especially staying on Chang Nian for a long time.
Facing Shang Wumu's profound gaze, Chang Nian's heart trembled, feeling faintly that something would happen.
To be honest, Ebony's speech was not considered passionate, and he had heard Chang Nian who was more provocative. However, it was such a slightly plain speech that made his heart surge inexplicably.
The patriarch of the new tribe and so on, if you think about it before, you will think it is a super troublesome thing.At this time, for some unknown reason, he actually had the urge to try.
In fact, at this moment, all the orcs of the younger generation were filled with boundless pride.Even if they had no hope of becoming the patriarch, they all made up their minds to spare no effort in the construction of the new tribe.
At this moment, Ebony exchanged glances with the two patriarchs behind him, and Bo Lun took two steps forward and stood beside Ebony.
"Because there are more than one young orcs who meet the requirements, after discussion, we decided to let them compete, and the one who wins in the end can be the patriarch." Compared with Ebony's clear and slightly soft voice, Bolun's mature and deep voice is more majestic .
"Who is the chosen orc?"
"Is there XXX? Surely there is?"
"XX is amazing, without him we can't do it."
The orcs speculated.
Buren raised his only arm, motioning everyone to be quiet.Then, he said in a very official tone with a steady tone: "These young orcs were decided by us after discussion. They are Honghao from the Fox tribe, Runrun from the Gopher tribe, and Ryan from the Central tribe."
As soon as Bo Lun finished speaking, there was a burst of sighs from the crowd—everyone guessed it.The three of them are undoubtedly the best of this generation of orcs, and they are also well-known candidates for the patriarch.
Ebony stood up and added: "Of course, this is just the proposal of our three 'former' patriarchs. If you have a better candidate in your mind, please feel free to propose it. Or, if there are other young males or older males who want to If you want to stand up and challenge, we also welcome it.”
Ebony glanced at Chang Nian's face deliberately, then immediately staggered away, looked in Tiger's direction, and said half-jokingly: "Tiger of the Fox Tribe, your ability is well known, I wonder if you are interested?"
Tiger ignored Ebony's half-truth and half-fake smile, put on a blank face, and replied "I'm not interested", with no ups and downs in his tone.
Standing beside him, Chacha breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no suspense in such a result, Ebony is just routinely flirting with his rival.
Wumu raised his eyebrows, and looked at Wuya sitting on the branch with warm eyes, "Wuya, why don't you try it?"
Uya returned a contemptuous glance.With a dark face and tightly pursed lips, he always felt that this unscrupulous brother was embarrassing him all the time.
Ebony smiled without any displeasure.
"Clan Chief Ebony, why didn't you ask me?" Dahl clasped his hands, leaning against a tree lazily, with a wicked smile.
There was a booing sound all around.They are all males who usually get on good terms with Dahl, and they all look at the fox patriarch, who is not so good-looking as a male, with subtle expressions on their faces.
Ebony's face darkened, and he simply turned his head and pretended not to hear.
Ebony's reaction not only didn't disappoint everyone, but made everyone more interested.A few strong orcs pushed and shoved Dahl, saying things like "Keep working hard" and "It's a shame not to be able to catch up."
The Central Tribe is not the same as the Fox Tribe. The Central Tribe is more diverse and has more freedom of thought.Xiongxiong together is nothing to them.
Ebony didn't think so.Even if he likes males, he should be like Chacha, who is softer and cuter than females, and Dahl, who is taller and stronger than himself... Thinking about it is all gloomy.
This little episode made Ebony very unhappy.Anyway, his task was also completed, so he simply found a tree stump to sit and sulk, and left the task of making the final summary to Bo Lun.
At this time, Yinyin was trying to push through the crowd and push forward—according to the usual practice, as long as the tribe had a meeting, the females would just wander around the periphery, not because they were discriminated against due to their low status, but because they were not interested.
But this time, Yinyin fell in love with her for the first time.Because he has someone who must be recommended.
"Patriarch! Patriarch!" Yinyin pushed forward while shaking her right arm, expecting to attract Bo Lun's attention.
"What's the matter?" Bo Lun raised his head, saw Yinyin's figure, and asked puzzledly.
"Clan, patriarch!" Yinyin finally squeezed to the front, huh—it's not easy!
"Yinyin? Do you have anything to say?" Bo Lun still has a good impression of this little female, on the one hand because he is the cub of a friend's family, on the other hand, he always believes that Yinyin will be Ryan future mate.
Yinyin patted her chest while walking forward, and when she stood in front of Bo Lun, she quickly returned to a state of being steady and aware of the general situation.
"Patriarch, I have something to say." Yinyin looked at Bo Lun seriously.
Bo Lun nodded, "Speak." In the orc tribe, females and males have the same right to speak.
"I recommend Mao Mao from the Fox tribe!" Yinyin said loudly in front of all the orcs present.
As soon as this remark came out, it caused a lot of surprise.
Bo Lun frowned, and there was obvious reproach in his voice, "Yinyin, don't mess around!"
As a matter of fact, Ebony had raised the common idea as early as when discussing the candidates, and Moss, the gopher patriarch, had no objection, but was rejected by Buren with one vote.
For some unknown reason, Bo Lun felt that Chang Nian should not belong to the orc tribe. The animal shape, which could never grow up, was put aside, and just looked at the appearance that was more beautiful than a female——Bo Lun just thought of Ryan’s treatment of him. He thought about it, because he refused to even have sex with a female, so he couldn't express the shock in his heart.
"I'm not fooling around. I really think that Maomao has the qualifications to run for the patriarch." Yinyin quietly observed the gloomy expression on Bo Lun's face, and puffed out her chest without fear.
The other orcs also raised their ears and waited for the following.
Yinyin said very seriously: "I believe you are very clear about Mao Mao's ability and wisdom. The orcs of the fox clan can testify that he could speak before he was an adult. The underground cave where he lived in the winter last time was thought up by Mao Mao." , this time Mao Mao was able to rescue the orcs and gophers of the Fox tribe from the cellar, and it took a lot of effort."
What Yinyin said moved almost all the fox tribe orcs and gopher tribe people. In fact, that seemingly weak little fox did much more for them.
The orcs have started to support Chang Nian in twos and threes, most of them are from the fox clan and the gopher clan.
Bo Lun's face became more and more ugly.
"What's more..." Yinyin looked at Bo Lun steadfastly, and dropped the last blockbuster, "As far as I know, Mao Mao was the one who saved Ryan and adopted him, and it was Mao Mao who saved the patriarch later on. Patriarch, you said, why is such a Mao Mao not qualified?"
As soon as the words broke out, the onlookers stared wide-eyed in surprise—that little fox saved Ryan?Also saved the patriarch?Just kidding!
It is mainly the orcs of the central tribe who have this kind of psychology.It can't be blamed on them, after all, Chang Nian voluntarily asked to keep the matter of Ryan and Bo Lun secret. At that time, he had always followed the principle of keeping a low profile and saving his life, and he didn't like unrelated people to know.
And the orcs in the Central Tribe are suspicious of Maomao because of Ryan standing in front of them. In their concept, only a tall, strong and masculine orc like Ryan is truly powerful. Like Maomao, although he has done a few beautiful things , but in their eyes, it is just a little clever.
Therefore, among males, the voice of Chang Nian is actually not high.
This made the females unhappy.Who is Mao Mao?In their minds, the rare male orcs who are gentle, refined and respectful of females are not qualified!
"Support Maomao! Maomao should also run for election!" an unknown female shouted passionately with a high-pitched voice.
"How is this possible?"
"Even if you participate, you will definitely fail!"
More males raised objections, and many of them were suitors who were originally Chang Nian.
The females fought back, but the males were uncompromising.
Later, Chacha heard those males say that her Mao Mao was "only beautiful" and "just a little smarter." Finally, she couldn't help but frowned, and stood among the females with her hips akimbo, taking the lead in fighting against those "damn males".
Chang Nian didn't hold back.
Development to the final scene is difficult to control.Ebony had to come forward to temporarily appease everyone's emotions - by the way, Ebony's status in the hearts of females is also quite high. In conclusion, he and Chang Nian are regarded as the same type, but they are not as typical as Chang Nian.
The three patriarchs got together and started to discuss. During the period, they also called Darteg Uya, a male with high reputation among the orcs, and the involved Ryan, Honghao, and Runrun to make a decision together.
The time for several cups of tea passed, but in the end there was still no result.The reason is simple, and Buren strongly disagrees.
In fact, it would have been surprisingly easy without Buren.
I don't even look at the people who participated in the discussion - Wumu, Wuya, and Tiger are undoubtedly Chang Nian's support team, Ryan, Honghao, and Runrun have different emotions for Chang Nian, plus they want to Dar, who pleases his sweetheart, should be the result of pass, pass, pass without thinking about it.
It's the presence of the tough and manipulative Burren that makes things complicated.
From morning to dusk, the orcs wandered around several times and came back, but still no results were reached.
During this period, Chang Nian's mental activities went through a complex process.From the nervousness and emotion at the beginning, to the incomprehensible resentment when I saw Bo Lun's firm opposition, and then to relief.Seeing everyone's faces were red and red, but he was an outsider.
This feeling is subtle.
