Fire Dragon Song

Chapter 58

This year's Fire Festival, Wala led the young people of the Bandahi tribe to the Saiwan tribe to participate in the fire festival.Each year, the two festivals are held in turn in the four major tribes.During the Fire Festival, young orcs from every tribe are welcome, single or not.Orcs in the prime of life of the tribe will shoulder the responsibility of hunting and protecting the tribe during this period.During the Fire Festival, each tribe will take out certain items to exchange with other tribes.If the Bandahi tribe is willing, Vala can exchange two gold stones for at least twenty hexagonal beasts, enough to feed the whole tribe for five days.

However, Valla will definitely not exchange gold and stones.He didn't even bring anything that would cause a commotion, just a few things that were common in the tribe.The new patriarch Lear stayed in the tribe to sit in town, and Wala's son Ute did not come with him this year. He and Meren stayed in the tribe to help the new patriarch.Vala knew very well that whether it was gold stones, dried meat, salty sand, bacon, etc., based on Bandashi's current strength, it would not bring much benefit to the tribe, on the contrary it might bring disaster.

Therefore, when traveling, Vala gave repeated orders to the accompanying clansmen, not allowing these secrets of the tribe to be revealed, at least not now.Every orc knew this very well, so no one brought delicious dried meat, but only some prey that needed to be handed over to the Saiwan tribe.The Flame Festival will be held for ten days, and there are many people coming. It is unrealistic if all the food is provided by the tribes outside the Great Wall, after all, the white moon is coming soon.Therefore, the tribes that come here have to hand over a certain amount of food to the host tribe.

The Bandahi tribe was arranged by the Saiwan tribe in an open space not far from the tribe.The male orcs set up a tent made of animal skins, and Vala sat in a tent that had already been set up and thought deeply.As soon as his partner Leo who came with him came in and saw his expression, he immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Since the Kangding family left, Valla has been under a lot of pressure. Although there is a new patriarch now, Valla knows that the tribe is now in a very dangerous period, and often sleeps all night for the development of the tribe don't feel it.Compared to before Kangding left, Vala's face was much paler and thinner.Leo loves his partner very much, but he is too stupid to think of a good way to help his partner.

Wala was still in deep thought. After a while, he said: "Call everyone here, I have something to say to them."

Leo went out.There are no single marriageable females in the Bandahi tribe, and the single orcs who came this time are all males.When Wala learned of the resting place arranged for them by the Saiwan tribe, Wala felt a little uneasy.

Soon, more than a dozen people including Keya, Baresa, and Leo came in.Vala seated them, and whispered gravely, "The Saiwan Tribe has placed us very well this time. But it doesn't bode well for the Bandahi Tribe."

When Wala said this, everyone became cautious.They were quite surprised when they learned that they were arranged here.Some tribes that are bigger than them are only arranged in very remote open spaces, and their positions are very close to the settlements of the other three big tribes.

Wala said sternly: "No matter who asks you about those things in the tribe, you are not allowed to disclose a single word, even if the person who asks you is a female, remember!"

It's a big deal, everyone nods.

Wala said: "Maybe they have noticed some changes in our tribe. Children, when the Bandahi tribe becomes stronger, you will not lack the favor of females, but now, I would rather you go back alone this time than I would like to see any of you forget the safety of the tribe you carry on your shoulders because of being blinded by females. I don't think any of you would want to be a member of another tribe."

Even the faces of Kea and Baresa, who were slightly dissatisfied with Lord Vala, all became serious.No matter how small and weak their own tribe is, no one would like their tribe to become a vassal of other tribes or be annexed.If the Bandahi tribe is annexed, the cubs in the tribe will be discriminated against and oppressed, and their prime males will also become the first warriors facing danger in the big tribe.They are not afraid of danger, but they don't want to become homeless people from then on.No matter how good someone else's home is, it belongs to someone else.

Vala raised her hand, touched the heads of the young orcs one by one, and said, "Our tribe will get better. Before that, you all need to be patient."

"We know, Lord Valla."

The young people leaned over, at this moment, they were completely obedient, obedient from the bottom of their hearts.

Standing on the terrace, Jisang looked at the sky, feeling a little sad.When Zhao Yunxiao came out, seeing his appearance, he hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jisan turned around and said in a low voice, "The Fire Festival should begin."

"Fire Festival? What is that?" Zhao Yunxiao asked.

Jisang took Yunxiao back to the house and explained the Fire Festival to him.After hearing this, Zhao Yunxiao asked a little sadly: "Do you want to go? I think it's okay for Father Kang Ding to take you there. Although you have left the tribe, it should be okay to go and see, right?"

Jisang was stunned: "Yunxiao, I'm so sad that you can't go."

"Me?" Zhao Yunxiao wondered, "Don't you want to go?"

Jisan pouted: "I'm already an Eminem person. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. I'm not interested in Bidou. I'm sorry for you. The Fire Festival is very lively. You and Tuzuo could go."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunxiao hugged Jisang emotionally, and then said: "I don't like places with many strangers, and I don't like watching people compete. Well, in our place, people like me prefer to be quiet. , A place with few people. If it is held in the Bandahi tribe in the future, maybe I will go and see it.”

Jisang blinked, and then laughed. He could see that Yun Xiao really didn't have much interest in the Fire Festival.Then he said: "You're so pretty, so don't go. Although a female has a partner, other males won't pursue her again, but Yunxiao is so special, those single males will definitely gather around you when they see you, Tuzuo You must be unhappy."

Zhao Yunxiao's face was a little red, and he changed the subject: "There is another pumpkin, and I will make pumpkin pie for you tonight."

"Pumpkin pie? I want to eat~"

The reaction of the "residents" on the rocky mountain side to the Fire Festival was relatively flat, mainly due to the lack of interest of the two lone females.In fact, the Fire Festival does not mean that only single orcs or young people can go there.It's just that someone in the tribe must stay behind, and one of the main purposes of the Fire Festival is blind date, so as time goes by, the orcs who go there are mainly young orcs.In fact, anyone who is an orc can go to the Fire Festival.Originally, Kang Ding and Yunhuo were still thinking about this matter.Kang Ding left the tribe, Yunhuo's current status is special, and taking his partner to the Flame Festival will definitely "get angry", but they don't want their partner to be wronged.The Fire Festival is a big festival for the Orc tribe.Unexpectedly, their partners completely showed an attitude of not wanting to participate in the Flame Festival, and even their own partners didn't mention it at all.

Jisang said to Kangding: "The bottle of skin care cream that Yunxiao gave me is made of the bones of green beasts. It's too wasteful. You can burn some suitable bottles."

"……it is good."

Yunxiao said to Yunhuo: "You can bring back some animal skins, I want a lot of rice. I want to eat rice, rice cakes, and real rice porridge."

"……it is good!"

Since the two females pay more attention to daily necessities and food, the males naturally try to satisfy the female's requirements as much as possible.Kangding searched and hunted in the forest near the rocky mountain, Jisang continued to process all kinds of meat under the leadership of Zhao Yunxiao, and Qi Luo went to wherever he needed help.The rocky mountain seemed to be a small world independent of the orc world.

In the big hut of the chief of the Saiwan tribe, the chief of the tribe, Eliha, and his only son, Rafisa, were negotiating with the wizard and several elders of the tribe.Different from small tribes like Bandahi, the four major tribes not only have patriarchs, wizards, but also elders who assist the patriarchs in managing the tribe.After all, even the Luokita tribe with the smallest number of people in the four major tribes has five or six hundred people, and the Saiwan tribe, the head of the four tribes, even has thousands of people.Compared with them, the Bandahi tribe, which has only more than 100 members, was arranged to camp near the Saiwan tribe.

At this time, what the Saiwan tribe was discussing was related to the Bandahi tribe.Elder Milan, one of the elders, asked, "Is it true that the chief of Bandahi left the tribe?"

Lafite nodded lazily: "Some of our clansmen saw Kangding's son Baher appearing while hunting, and were chased away by Wala's son Ute. Ute said that Baher was a foreigner."

Milan frowned: "It is said that Kang Ding, the patriarch of the Bandaxi tribe, is a very cautious person...why did he suddenly leave the tribe?"

The orcs have a strong tribal concept, so the people of the Saiwan tribe only vaguely know that Kang Ding has left, but they don't know the reason for his departure.It was Rafisa, who said: "Someone saw the evil spirit of Bandahi once appeared, and it seemed that the evil spirit had brought a female with it."

"Has the evil spirit appeared?" Milan thought deeply, "Could it be that Kangding suddenly abandoned his tribe because he was cursed by the evil spirit?"

"Very likely." Several other elders agreed.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Rafisa's dark green eyes, and he said: "The Bandahi tribe didn't kill the evil spirits at the beginning, but now they have tasted the pain of the evil spirits. Why their patriarch left has nothing to do with the Saiwan tribe, right? Like The more chaotic a small tribe like Bandahi is, the better it is for the Saiwan tribe. I think the most important thing at the moment is to confirm whether the salty sand and dried meat of the Bandahi tribe are real. If it is true, what should we do? Let the Bandahi tribe tell us the method, or..." He made a beheading motion.

Compared with the ruthlessness of his only son, Iliha is very cautious. He said: "Rafisa, the tribe needs to grow continuously, but subduing other tribes with blood will attract dissatisfaction and opposition from the other three tribes. If the three tribes It is very bad for us if the tribes unite against us, you have to get rid of this idea."

Rafisa insisted on his opinion: "Father, if the Saiwan tribe wants to become the most powerful tribe in the Orc Continent, it is absolutely not enough to rely on the attachment of other tribes. The wolf will kill the leaders of other wolf packs and then take over The other party's territory and clansmen, our orc tribe should rely on our own strength to annex other tribes like the wolf, in order to truly grow. We know the situation of the Bandaxi tribe, and the other three tribes will also know it. If What about the Bandahi tribe who defected to other tribes? Our relationship with the Bandahi tribe is not close."

Speaking of which, Rafisa curled her lips: "Originally, I planned to let a female from the Bandaxi tribe fall in love with me so that I could get some news, but I didn't know that except for the old female of Vala, the others were all males. A tribe without even a single female is doomed to be eaten by other tribes."

Iliha pondered, and Elder Milan thought for a while and said: "It's better to let the Bandaxi tribe agree to become our sub-tribe first. Their strength is getting weaker and weaker now. I believe they will not refuse our invitation. Our sub-tribe, then everything will be settled."

"What if they don't want to?" Rafisa asked. It was a simple question. For a large tribe like the Saiwan tribe, willing to take the initiative to make a certain tribe a sub-tribe should be something that the other party can't wait for.

Elder Milan showed a confident smile: "They will not be unwilling."

"What we have to do is to be ahead of the other three tribes." Elder Megan reminded, "We must not let the Bandahi tribe be snatched away by the other three tribes. The white moon is coming, and it must end at this Fire Festival." be determined beforehand."

The shaman Jiamu, who hadn't spoken much, said with a blank expression: "Rafisa, you will personally invite the shaman Wala of the Bandahi tribe to come to my house tomorrow."

"Yes, Master Jiamu." Rafisa did not refuse.

Whether it is ancient or modern, and whether it is a beast "human" or a pure human being, when they have a sense of territory and tribe, fighting is inevitable. This is an inevitable trend of social development.

On the first night of arriving at the Saiwan Tribe, Vala suffered from insomnia.The third day was the official start of the Flame Festival. The next day, more and more tribes rushed to the Saiwan tribe. When the orcs of those small tribes saw the huts of the Saiwan tribe and the absolute momentum filled in a large tribe , males and females responded in diametrically opposite directions.Young male orcs hope that their tribe will one day become such a large tribe, and single females hope to find a male mate from the Saiwan tribe.No female would not want to live in a large, secure tribe.

Of course, this was just the reaction of the orcs of those small tribes.As the other three tribes: the Amai Tribe, the Black Feather Tribe, and the Lokita Tribe, seeing the Saiwan Tribe, the leader of the four tribes, they are more likely to find ways to obtain more internal information about the Saiwan Tribe, so as to In order to learn from the development and growth of their own tribe.Although the Saiwan tribe is recognized as the leader of the four tribes, no one can guarantee that they will always remain the leader, including themselves.Therefore, unlike those small tribes that focus on survival, large tribes like the Saiwan tribe not only have to survive, but also strive to grow their tribe so that their tribe will always be among the strongest.

Vala didn't fall asleep until dawn, and Leo stayed by his side.Vala stayed up all night, and Leo stayed with him all night.The Flame Festival is a festival for young people. As the host of the Flame Festival this year, the Saiwan Tribe will arrange various programs on the Flame Festival. Young people from various tribes can interact and communicate freely. The elders who lead the team usually do not Interfering too much.So even though it was dawn, Leo didn't wake up Vala, and even covered his partner's ears with his animal claws, so as not to disturb him from the noise outside, but it was difficult.

"Lord Wala, are you up?" Baresa's voice came from outside the tent.

Leo turned back into a human form, and was about to reply that his partner hadn't gotten up yet, when Vala said, "What's the matter? I'm not up yet."

"Lord Wala, Rafisa, the son of the chief of Saiwan Tribe, wants to see you."

Wala, who was rubbing his forehead, frowned suddenly, and then he heard a deep but dangerous voice: "Master Wala, I am Lafesa from the Saiwan Tribe, I am sorry to disturb your rest."

Rafisa, the only son of the patriarch of the Saiwan tribe, is a powerful but extremely dangerous male orc. Numerous evaluations of Rafisa flashed through La's head.

Vala said calmly: "Please wait a moment."

"Ok."

Rafisa stood beside Baresa with a smile on his face. He was half a head taller and stronger than Baresa.Rafisa has dark brown hair, and his dark brown eyes will flash golden light from time to time, making him intimidating.However, he had seen a guy who was so strong that he could only be described as terrifying, and Baresa had no special reaction to the strength and coercion displayed by Rafisa.Not only did Baresa have none, but the people from the Bandahi tribe didn't.Rafisa's size can be considered extremely strong among male orcs. All the male orcs who have seen him are envious of him, and the females who have seen him are rarely indifferent. But the orcs of the Bandaxi tribe expressed Feeling a little cold, Rafisa narrowed his eyes several times after entering the campsite of the Bandahi tribe.

Vala's tent opened, and Leo, as Vala's partner, invited Rafisa to enter.Seeing the obvious blue eyes of the wizards of the Bandaxi tribe, Rafisa became concerned. The situation of the Bandaxi tribe did not look very good.
