Chapter 287 The situation is getting worse and worse
. The return of the third generation of the Herb Wizard brought a lot of good news.
For example, the goodwill of the Ice Bear Tribe, the recent situation of the Fatty Pile, and the road to the totem godhood...
But these good news did not make Diwu Xuan happy, because his return did not stop the Fire Tribe's path to division, but made the entire tribe more polarized.
After he figured out the cause and effect, he quickly joined Shi's camp, and even the eighth generation wizard, the Sound Tribe wizard, the Chuan Mo wizard and others also joined this secret war.
After all, Shi's rise was a little short, and his personal prestige has not yet been established. He is still far
behind in the secret battle with the sixth generation leader. But the third generation of the Herb Wizard is different. He is recognized by the seventh generation wizard. Recently, he has been sent to the Ice Bear Tribe and perfectly resolved the crisis from the north. It is the time when he is highly respected.
As soon as he joined this faction, he immediately became the leader of the entire faction. Everyone in the entire faction, including Shi, gathered around him.
The first thing this force did after it was formed was to suggest to the sixth-generation chief to abolish flogging in the tribe.
"Impossible."
The answer given by the sixth-generation chief was very firm, leaving no room for detours.
But the third-generation herb witch did not give up. He began to incite the old and weak, advocating severe torture, which would only make the Fire Tribe go further and further on this path, and eventually use cruelty on their own people.
Under the deliberate instigation of several witches, the entire Fire Tribe began to discuss the issue of punishment more and more deeply.
And with the resolution of the crisis in the north, the harsh training and cruel punishment no longer seemed so necessary, and many warriors also began to criticize.
The pressure on the sixth generation leader was getting bigger and bigger. When he was angry, he slapped the Wolf Tribe witch who was trying to persuade him, which caused a rift between him and the Wolf Tribe.
Under external pressure, the sixth generation leader finally chose to compromise, but the whipping was still retained. It was just that it was no longer used on the Fire Tribe people. For enemies and slaves, the whipping still existed.
The third generation of the Herb Witch did not push it any further, but stopped when he saw the good, and did not speak again for a long time afterwards.
Although he remained silent, many tribesmen had already realized this secret war, but everyone tacitly did not speak out.
In their view, this was a power struggle between the leader and the witch, and also a struggle between the old school and the new school.
The sixth generation leader was old, and he saw that those standing on the opposite side of him were all his juniors.
The two sides cannot coexist, but under these two conditions, it is not unacceptable.
Secretly, everyone is more optimistic about the faction of the Third Generation Herb Witch, because they are young, energetic, and represent the future of the tribe.
But the Sixth Generation Chief is the undisputed king of this era. He still has the highest support among the warriors, and the elders of the tribe are very much in agreement with him. Even if they oppose him on one or two things, it does not mean an overall overthrow. Those
who support the new faction are mostly young and strong. Among the warriors, only the team leader Yan and Shi, who was demoted to the captain, support the Third Generation Herb Witch.
Diwu Xuan looked at the calm Fire Tribe, and his uneasy heart calmed down.
Having these two forces may not be a bad thing.
The representative of the old faction, the Sixth Generation Chief, is still in control of the overall situation. Although the new faction is not strong enough, it is young.
When the old faction dies, the Fire Tribe will not be in a situation of lack of successors.
When the big leader died, the second and third generation leaders caused so much trouble because they had never managed the tribe before, which led to their chaos and confusion, and caused a plague, forcing the Fifth Xuan to self-destruct and fall into a coma, and the entire tribe to migrate.
In view of this, the current situation is the best, if this situation can continue.
Unfortunately, this peace did not last long. Shi once again hunted a pregnant killer and gave it to the tapir witch, which caused a deeper conflict between the two factions.
The source of the conflict was Shi and the sixth generation leader.
Although Chuan Mo Wu stood on the opposite side of his father, the Sixth Generation Chief was not unhappy. He even thought it was a good thing for his child, proving that he had his own ideas.
However, Shi's behavior made him feel that Shi was taking revenge on him for taking the credit.
Because Chuan Mo Wu had aged rapidly after lighting the water totem column, he and the Sixth Generation Chief stood together and looked like brothers instead of father and son. The
angry Sixth Generation Chief grabbed Shi on the spot, tied him to a wooden frame, and whipped him severely.
This whipping seemed to have become a fuse, and the conflict between the two sides increased instantly, from disagreements to personal attacks.
Yan and Ran, who was promoted to squadron leader, led warriors to snatch Shi from the wooden frame, but Zhuo and the supporters of the Sixth Generation Chief arrived at the scene at the same time and stopped them.
When the Fifth Xuan arrived, although the two sides did not fight, there was already some friction.
The arrival of the totem made both sides restrain a lot. Fighting was impossible, but the verbal confrontation would not stop.
"He wants to kill my only son. Look what he did to my child."
The Sixth Generation Chief pulled out the Tapir Shaman and pointed to everyone.
"Father, this is what I asked him to do."
The Tapir Shaman still defended Shi, but his voice sounded even older than that of the Sixth Generation Chief.
Everyone looked at the white-haired tapir wizard, his face was full of wrinkles like channels, his eyes seemed to be narrowed into a slit, and the little look he showed was also full of turbidity.
"Sixth-generation leader, you need to calm down first."
The third-generation herb wizard stood up and advised.
He didn't want the two sides to escalate to the point of fighting, which would definitely not be a good thing for the Fire Tribe, and it was not what he wanted.
But now the warriors are very excited, and the sixth-generation leader is also excited.
"I am calm? Tell me, if you were me, would you be calm?"
The sixth-generation leader roared and questioned the third-generation herb wizard.
The third generation of the Herb Wizard twitched his mouth, his face full of bitterness.
He knew about this, and he had advised the Tapir Wizard not to continue bestowing spirits, as it would do too much harm to him, but he just wouldn't listen, and threatened Shi that if he didn't hunt the pregnant beast for him, he would go by himself.
"I threatened him, if he doesn't go, I will..."
"It's come to this, and you're still speaking in his favor?"
The sixth generation leader interrupted the Tapir Wizard's words of defense for Shi, and pointed at Shi angrily.
"He's just jealous, jealous that I have a good son, while he has nothing, not even a wife."
These words were true, but they were also a bit harsh.
It is true that Shi couldn't find a wife before, but now he has a chance to find one, but he was devoted to training the power of the totem, and his mind was not on this, so he still has no wife and children.
"Your leader is really angry."
The Bull Totem said.
Diwu Xuan glanced at him, and seeing that he was somewhat gloating, he raised his foot and kicked him away.
He was not in a good mood at this time. He could understand the mood of the sixth generation leader. Anyone would not be able to bear to see his son become as old as his brothers.
But all this was voluntary on his part, and it was not good for him to resort to lynching like this.
It is impossible to cut it off, and it is still a mess, which is what Diwu Xuan thinks now.
But no matter how this matter is finally handled, the struggle between the two factions has been completely put on the table.
