Chi Yan frowned: "A deputy captain and his beast soldiers, plus the people you brought with you, aren't they enough?"
"Of course it's not enough." The bear elder said matter-of-factly, "Didn't Beast City send people here to protect us? If you don't give us more people, what will happen if we get hurt?"
Chi Yan's brows furrowed even tighter: "No one is safe from injury in a war."
The bear tribe elder waved his hand and said, "You'd better give us a few more people."
Chi Yan exhaled heavily, tapped his index finger on the table, and said, "In that case, I will assign you another deputy captain and half of the beast soldiers in his team."
"How can half be enough? Since the deputy captain has given it to us, shouldn't he give us all the beast soldiers?"
It's easy for them to say, it takes two teams to open and close their upper and lower lips. You have to know that the red crab's nest is more numerous and more dangerous than the schistosomes. If we give them so many people, our own troops will be far from enough.
The Bear Clan elder finished playing the good cop role, and the Horse Clan elder began playing the bad cop role: "Captain Chi Yan, please be fair. Let's divide the forces equally. If the schistosomiasis is dealt with quickly, we can still come to help you then."
Su Hui said, "There's no need to split two teams into two to deal with the schistosomiasis. The red crab nest is much more dangerous than the schistosomiasis swarm."
The Horse Tribe elder sighed, "You're not right. We're all fighting, how can you be more dangerous? Red crabs may be numerous, but if you get bitten you can at least run away. But if you get bit by schistosomiasis, it'll take only a minute for them to get inside."
Su Hui: "Your clan leaders are all atavistic orcs, what are you afraid of?"
"Our people are all ordinary orcs, so we have to consider them."
Chi Yan listened to them talking, with a serious face and no response.
Although the elders of the Horse and Bear tribes did not speak, it was obvious that these two elders were acting as bad guys under the orders of their own clan leaders.
No matter what, they always have an excuse to want to hire more people, but the reality is that their situation does not require so many people.
Chi Yan was indeed tasked with exterminating the red crabs and schistosomes and protecting this area, and he did not want to fall out with this group of people.
If we were in the Beast City now, these orcs would definitely not dare to say anything, but now we are in someone else's territory.
Do we really have to give the person to them and let them control him?
Su Hui couldn't win the argument with them and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Bai Jing, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up and said, "Captain Chi Yan, since the two elders have said so, you should assign them two vice-captains."
Chi Yan remained silent.
Bai Jing didn't intend for him to answer. He turned around and complimented the Bear and Horse tribe leaders, who had remained silent the entire time. "I heard that the two leaders gained the power of atavism upon reaching adulthood, and their strength has always been among the best in the tribe."
The two clan leaders looked at each other with a smug look in their eyes: "Of course, we are both the best warriors in the tribe."
Bai Jing smiled and said, "I'm lucky to meet you today. I didn't expect that you two are not only so powerful, but also so united in your tribe."
Before the two clan leaders could react, Bai Jing continued, "The elders are worried that you two are too old to fight, so they want more people to protect you. I am truly moved by your loyalty."
The bear tribe leader's face froze: "What do you mean by that?"
Bai Jing shook his head. "I just admire your ability as a tribe leader. You make everyone in the tribe get along so well and respect you so much. I'm different. Without the protection of the elders, I have to do everything on my own. But this is also good. It can also improve my strength."
"Captain Chi Yan." Bai Jing suddenly turned to Chi Yan and said, "Assign two deputy captains to each of the two clan leaders. As for me, I'm still young and in my prime, so one deputy captain is enough."
"This..." Chi Yan looked at the leaders of the bear and horse tribes hesitantly.
The Bear Clan leader was already irritated by Bai Jing's constant calls of "old" and "young" and stared at him angrily, "Tiger Clan leader, what do you mean by this? Are you mocking us?"
Bai Jing curled his lips, remaining calm despite his glare. "I simply feel that the two elders are loyal and devoted, always thinking of you and concerned about your safety. Otherwise, why would the elders insist on sending more people to protect you when the two clan leaders are so powerful?"
The bear tribe leader froze, and all the anger in his body suddenly became difficult to vent.
Bai Jing suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly showed a hint of surprise: "Could it be that the clan leaders are afraid of pain and injury, so the elders are risking their reputation to come out and ask for help?"
The horse tribe leader, whose thoughts were guessed, blushed. "You, what nonsense are you talking about! Scars are the glory of orcs, of course we don't think so."
Bai Jing smiled gently, "I knew the elders were just worried about the request for more people, so they took the initiative. As powerful as the two clan leaders are, they're certainly not afraid of that. Even if you don't want a deputy captain, you can still successfully eradicate the schistosomiasis by leading your own troops."
"I, we..."
"After all, even I, who has just become the clan leader, only need one deputy captain." Bai Jing added slowly.
The horse tribe leader's face turned even redder.
"What's wrong? Do the clan leaders also feel that they are really powerless?" Seeing that they didn't say anything, Bai Jing lightly added fuel to the fire.
When the bear tribe leader was touched by the fire, he immediately burned up like a match tower.
Provoked by Bai Jing, he stopped thinking too much and said loudly, "It's just a few schistosomiasis. What's there to be afraid of? I'm powerful, so of course I don't need a deputy captain."
