Chapter 122 Undercurrent
Long footprints were left on the snow, densely packed, reaching straight to the sky.
The Sixth Chief accompanied the Sand Tribe Chief to stay and watch until the entire team disappeared into the sky. The Sand Tribe Chief sighed and turned back to thank the Sixth Chief.
"The Sand Tribe will never forget the friendship of the Fire Tribe."
The Sand Tribe Chief bowed deeply to thank the Sixth Chief.
The team delivering food set out, led by the Sun Totem Shaman and the chief himself holding a sunset bow. Only a small number of Sand Tribe warriors led the way, and the rest of the transporters were all Fire Tribe Sun Totem warriors.
This was done to reduce the pressure on the Sand Tribe. The Sand Tribe warriors could stay here and hunt for a living. If they returned to the desolate desert, it would only increase the pressure on the Sand Tribe. It is better
to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
The warriors of the Sand Tribe can hunt more wild animals if they stay outside the desert, which not only reduces the food consumption of the tribe, but also provides a steady stream of assistance to the tribe.
The arrangement made by the Sixth Generation Chieftain grateful from the bottom of the hearts of the warriors of the Sand Tribe, but it also caused great dissatisfaction within the tribe.
The Fire Tribe has little food left, and not only does it give a large part to the Sand Tribe, but it also leaves the warriors of the Sand Tribe to fight for survival space. How can the Fire Tribe warriors feel?
If it were just like this, it would be nothing. The prestige of the Sixth Generation Chieftain could still suppress the dissatisfaction within the Fire Tribe, but the leader of the Moon Totem Tribe began to secretly instigate more people to express dissatisfaction, making the voices of dissatisfaction grow.
In the Fire Tribe, the Moon Totem leader came to the home of the leader of the Five Hundred in the name of discussing hunting.
"The Fire Tribe is running out of food, and the prey in the snow is also decreasing. I think we should let the warriors go hunting farther away."
The Moon Totem leader expressed his plan, and this was also the loudest voice among the tribesmen.
If the warriors are to go farther away, they must be provided with movable totem fires, which is not difficult.
Mountain totems and bloodthirsty guns are fine. If that doesn't work, they can just rob some totem stones from small tribes. It's not impossible.
When it comes to life and death, primitive people who don't have any morality will do something more brutal. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and everyone follows this rule.
What's more, the Fire Tribe has a history of snatching other people's totem stones, and it has been like this since the fourth generation of witches. The sun and moon totem stones were snatched, and they were used very well.
The leader of the five hundred people frowned and did not respond.
He clearly knew the disadvantages of doing so.
Once a small group of warriors master the totem fire, there is a great risk of never returning, especially the warriors of the Sun and Moon Totem Tribe.
In the absence of ice and snow, the expansion of the tribe to 10,000 people is basically the maximum scale. If it is larger, it must be dispersed and use more vast land to support more tribesmen.
This is the price of hunting and gathering. If you want to expand further, you have to develop into farming. However, the Fire Tribe has never encountered a farming tribe along the way.
On the way from the coast to the Fire Tribe, Diwu Xuan found a cattle tribe with traces of farming, but unfortunately no seeds were found.
The Fire Tribe, which could not go further, could only endure such pain. Now that the ice and snow have continued to the spring, the land here is no longer enough to support a tribe of 10,000 people.
The Fire Tribe has always relied on long-term accumulation, but many tribesmen think that living off the land is inappropriate.
The Moon Tribe leader’s suggestion at this time is not aimless.
The leader of the five hundred people did not deny it directly, and it was based on this cognition.
"The leader will not agree."
The leader of the five hundred people had an inexplicable look in his eyes, as if he was lost in thought.
Such an answer made the Moon Tribe leader's eyes light up. He did not refuse directly, but was willing to talk. This was the experience she had accumulated from many lobbyings.
"At this moment of life and death, we must persuade the chief to make the right choice. This is necessary."
The Moon Totem leader excitedly slammed his fist on the stone table, making a dull thud.
The dull thud startled the leader of the five hundred people. He looked at the Moon Tribe leader in surprise. He didn't expect her to be so radical.
"But this is likely to cause the Fire Tribe... to split."
He answered with gritted teeth. It seemed that he had spent a lot of energy to say this.
"Normally at this time, the heavy snow should have stopped, the green grass should have sprouted, and the grassland should be full of animals. It would be a hunting world, but look at it now."
The Moon Totem leader became more and more excited. She stood up and pointed outside.
"The grass is not growing, the beasts have disappeared, there is no need to think about gathering, and the hunters always return empty-handed. When will this day end?"
"Look at the children in the tribe, they are starting to lose weight, and the children of the Moon Totem Tribe are already showing their ribs. If this continues, the five hundred people will not have the strength to fight. If the enemy attacks..."
She sat down with a sad face, as if she couldn't bear to say anything more.
The leader of the five hundred people seemed to be touched by her words and fell into inexplicable grief.
The room fell silent, and the two of them were silent, as if they were worried about the future of the tribe.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it..."
The leader of the five hundred people repeated softly, hesitating.
The Moon Totem leader did not say anything more. He had enough lobbying experience to know that at this time, saying too much would easily backfire.
After saying a few more words, she stood up and said goodbye, and walked out the door to the home of a team leader.
The Moon Totem leader was not the only lobbyist like this. Many warriors who were persuaded by her spontaneously launched lobbying. This undercurrent has been stirring in the Fire Tribe for a long time.
If the sixth-generation witch could stand up and support the sixth-generation leader, the undercurrent might not be so turbulent, but the sixth-generation witch kept talking nonsense every day, and many people already felt that at this moment, he could no longer guide the tribe.
The witch is crazy, and the leader is stubborn. The warriors of the Fire Tribe must spontaneously find a way to solve the problem. This is a true reflection of the inner thoughts of many lobbyists.
The leadership distrust crisis has already appeared, and the sixth-generation leader is still considering the future of the Sand Tribe. This makes more people dissatisfied and willing to join and participate spontaneously.
The Fifth Xuan looked at all this quietly. He looked down at the entire tribe and could see a lot more than ordinary tribesmen and some leaders.
"Sixth-generation leader, I hope you don't play with fire and burn yourself." The Fifth Xuan thought with a little worry.
At this time, it was too late for him to stop it, but many times, he would doubt whether this was a manifestation of his own will, because in his heart, he hoped that things would develop in this way.
It is easier to fish in turbid waters. If a catastrophe really strikes, it is important to solve the internal problems as soon as possible.
He does not want the tribe to be forced to disperse one day, and those forces that have escaped will occupy their own hilltops and become kings.
"I just hope everything goes well, and I hope this disaster is not as I imagined."
Diwu Xuan said silently in his heart.
