After hearing Yu's words, even though Atuna had long known that this guy couldn't say anything nice and was already prepared, Atuna was still shocked by his shamelessness and angrily said, "You're using us?"
Not only Atuna, but everyone who heard Yu's words was just as angry as Atuna. They never expected that Yu would say such a thing.
Yu said with a completely innocent look, "How can this be called taking advantage of someone? To use Black Foot's words, um... what was that line you said again?"
Blackfoot reminded him, "It's a 'deal,' Chief."
“Yes, it’s a ‘transaction’!” Yu clapped his hands. “Why get so angry? We’re just making a transaction.”
"You'll join us in wiping out the Red Flower Tribe, and as a thank you, we'll give you the antidote for Blazing Flames," Yu said, pouting. "Since you both hate the Red Flower Tribe so much, isn't this request something that's very beneficial to both of our tribes?"
Blackfoot added, "If your chief were here, he would definitely agree to our request. Hehe, isn't your Blackwind tribe always the one who likes to weigh the pros and cons? Why don't you think carefully about our proposal? Anyway, they only have so few people now. Your tribe, plus the few people from our tribe, can definitely wipe them out."
Atu Na suppressed his anger. To be honest, he hated the White Feather Tribe even more than the Red Flower Tribe. He had always disliked the way the White Feather Tribe did things. If the Red Flower Tribe hadn't been weaker than the White Feather Tribe, they might have considered eliminating the White Feather Tribe first.
Admittedly, Yu and Blackfoot's words were piercing. With their own strength alone, it was simply impossible to wipe out the Red Flower Tribe. However, if the two tribes joined forces, the matter would become much easier.
But... wouldn't this be tantamount to being led by the nose by the White Feather Tribe?
hateful!
If it weren't for the fact that Flame's fate was currently unknown and the chief and the others didn't know when they would return, he wouldn't have tolerated this guy being so arrogant in the tribe.
Blackfoot was about to explain the pros and cons again, but Yu stopped him, saying with a smile, "Don't rush, we've said what we need to say, now let's see how they react."
Blackfoot was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "Chief is wise."
Their silence puts pressure on the Black Wind Tribe, which is much better than saying a lot of things and hitting their weak points. If the Black Wind Tribe is really provoked after their repeated provocations, their plan will fail. It's better to let them think for themselves, which also puts invisible pressure on them.
At this moment, the relationship between the two tribes had become somewhat delicate, and the Red Flower Tribe, as bystanders, couldn't help but feel a little nervous upon hearing the conversation between the two tribes.
From the perspective of everyone in the Red Flower Tribe, Atuna would definitely agree to the White Feather Tribe's demands—they had not only tricked both tribes, but also left many people from both tribes forever in the Black Crow Forest. Regardless of which tribe, there was ample reason to unite against them.
"Chief, when will Mai Zi and the others be back?"
One of them asked nervously.
Given their current fighting strength, if the two opposing tribes were to unite, it would be a huge problem.
Dian smiled wryly, "They should be back as soon as possible."
This was as good as saying nothing at all. The person who asked the question probably knew that the best response they would get was comfort, so they could only sigh and ask worriedly, "So what should we do now?"
After thinking it over, Dian finally made a more prudent decision: "We can't rush things. Let's wait and see what the Black Wind Tribe does."
Upon hearing this, the young soldier turned pale and thought to himself, "This is tantamount to entrusting my fate to someone else."
"Wheat, Banshi, where are you? You must come back soon!"
...
Atuna felt countless eyes watching him. He knew that with the chief and other high-ranking warriors absent, the entire tribe depended on him alone. Whether he agreed or refused, no one could help him.
A Tu Na felt her mind was in turmoil, her thoughts filled with the unknown fate of Lie Yan. How was she now? So much time had passed, why was there no movement inside? Had something happened? What should she do now? Did she really have no choice but to agree to their demands?
The worries in his mind were written all over Atuna's face. He wished he had a companion by his side so he could ask for their opinion, but he couldn't do that now.
So this is what it's like to be a chief. Every decision, every task, is such an ordeal... I even dreamed of becoming a warrior like Tashan, or even the next chief. How ridiculous! What qualifications do I have?!
At this moment, Yu had been paying close attention to Atuna. From Atuna's words and actions, he could tell that Atuna was starting to panic, so he stopped waiting quietly and asked with a smile, "How have you decided?"
"We don't have that much time for you to think about it."
One of the warriors behind Yu sneered.
“Listen, so much time has passed. You can wait, but Blaze can’t.”
"You've wasted so much time, and what you've gained in return might be that Lieyan's life... is affected."
Blackfoot snapped at the man who had just spoken, then put on a fake mask and said to Atuna, "I'm sorry, he was a little emotional, but his intentions were good, so please don't blame him."
He smiled, but every word he uttered sent chills down the spines of Atuna and the warriors behind him.
“We’ve done some calculations. If you still haven’t figured out what to do within two hundred breaths, it will be too late.”
"Blazing Flame will die. At that time, even if you kneel down and beg me, there will be no way we can help you. More importantly, the problem facing you is that if you don't kill the Red Flower Tribe, they will kill you!"
"You've been at odds with the Red Flower Tribe for so long, and although not many people have died, do you really think the Red Flower Tribe won't do anything to your tribe?"
"Cooperate with us, Atuna." Blackfoot said almost commandingly at the end, "You have no other choice but to cooperate with us."
