An hour later, Xiao Chen left the room and came to the hall where the old patriarch was.
Now that we have a Wolf King, this meeting should have been held in the Wolf King's Palace, but the place is in a mess and cannot be used.
Therefore, the old patriarch chose this place as the venue.
When Xiao Chen arrived, most of the elders had already arrived.
Moreover, there are quite a few of them.
Except for the elder who presided over the war against the blood clan, even the elder who was in seclusion came out this time.
After all, this is a matter of life and death for the werewolf clan, so the old patriarch asked Amos to call them all over.
Xiao Chen had seen most of the elders before, except for a few who seemed unfamiliar to him.
"Lord Wolf King."
When the elders saw Xiao Chen, they all stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and greeted them.
"Wolf King."
The old patriarch also spoke, pointing to the seat that should have belonged to him.
"You sit here."
"Haha, no, Patriarch."
Xiao Chen smiled and sat next to Amos.
"You are the one who will host today's meeting. I will just sit in as an observer."
After hearing what Xiao Chen said, the old patriarch didn't insist any more, nodded, and sat down.
"So young?"
“It feels strong.”
“…”
Several elders who had never seen Xiao Chen looked at him, each with their own thoughts.
"Before we get down to business, let me introduce these elders to the Wolf King."
The old patriarch spoke and introduced a few unfamiliar faces to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen greeted them with a smile. These old werewolves were also very old.
Basically, they are all from the previous generation. If they must be ranked by seniority, they would be the supreme elders.
The few old werewolves were relatively friendly. After all, they usually didn't get involved and rarely even showed up.
Whoever becomes the wolf king will have no conflict of interest with them.
Since Xiao Chen has been to the ancestral land and obtained the approval of the Wolf King, they will not object anymore.
The main thing is… opposition is useless.
It has no other use except offending Xiao Chen for no reason.
After the greetings, the old patriarch waved his hand and the door of the hall slowly closed.
"I called you all here today because I have something I want to discuss with you."
The old patriarch spoke slowly.
After hearing the old patriarch's words, the elders looked at him, waiting for his next words.
Only a few people, such as Alec, knew about the Wolf God.
Most of the elders realized that something serious might have happened, but they didn't know what it was.
"Next, the matter I'm going to talk about is very serious, serious enough to destroy the werewolf clan..."
The old patriarch glanced across the room and spoke in a deep voice.
The elders of the clan, who were unaware of the situation and were making all kinds of guesses, suddenly looked very unhappy. Has the situation become so serious?
"Everyone knows that the Wolf God is the patron saint of the werewolf clan, but now... he is preparing to destroy the werewolf clan in exchange for his own freedom."
Without waiting for the elders to ask, the old patriarch continued.
Following his words, the whole audience was in an uproar.
The Wolf God wants to destroy the werewolf clan?
Many people’s first reaction is disbelief, or even absurdity. How could this be possible?
Werewolf has always been protecting the werewolf clan!
But when they looked at the old patriarch's serious expression, they felt... it didn't seem like he was joking with them.
Besides, the old patriarch would not joke about the Wolf God!
"Many years ago, the Wolf God had this idea. My father, the previous clan leader...he imprisoned the Wolf God for this."
The old patriarch took everyone's reactions into consideration and spoke slowly.
After hearing this, the uproar grew louder. The Wolf God was imprisoned?
They don’t know?
"Because you are the elders of the tribe and the backbone of the werewolf tribe, I have gathered you tonight to tell you this matter... The situation is very critical because the wolf god has escaped."
The old patriarch's voice became much deeper.
"I think you all noticed the unusual movements today. The Wolf King and I fought a great battle with the Wolf God in the ancestral land and temporarily trapped him in the ancestral land... However, this is only temporary. Once he leaves the ancestral land, it will be a disaster for the werewolf clan."
The elders were startled and all looked at Xiao Chen. The Wolf King and the old clan leader had fought a great battle with the Wolf God in their ancestral land?
"That's right."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiao Chen nodded.
"I didn't expect that the Wolf God would have such an idea... After I entered the ancestral land, the Wolf God lured me and wanted me to help him escape. Fortunately, I discovered his conspiracy and refused! However, even without my help, the Wolf God escaped with the help of several elders... Fortunately, the old patriarch showed up at the critical moment, otherwise a disaster would have swept the werewolf tribe."
"With the help of the elders? Who?"
The elders' faces changed and they looked at each other, wondering who didn't come?
Soon, they discovered that there were two elders who had not come.
"Amu?"
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Not only them, but also an elder who guarded the ancestral land was bribed by the Wolf God... One of the elders was killed in order to stop the Wolf God."
The old patriarch glanced at Xiao Chen. He knew exactly what was going on.
Amu and his friends are members of the Demonic Wolf, and they entered the ancestral land under his orders.
And the guardian elder was probably bribed by the Wolf God and then killed.
Now, Xiao Chen also said that Amu and the others were lured by the Wolf God and helped the Wolf God escape. What did that mean?
Soon, he figured it out. If he didn't blame the Wolf God, it would be impossible to explain why Amu and the others entered the ancestral land.
Once their identity as [Demon Wolves] is mentioned, it becomes even more difficult to explain.
These elders are not fools.
"You should have heard that I brought a ferocious beast out from my ancestral land, right? Some people should have seen that dinosaur-like beast."
Xiao Chen looked at the elders and said.
"Now, the ancestral land is in chaos. The Wolf God has escaped from his captivity, and the forest has lost its restrictions. The beasts in it have also run out of the forest..."
Listening to Xiao Chen's words, the expressions of the elders changed. Is it already so chaotic?
Although this matter sounded incredible and they could not believe it, now that the old patriarch and the new wolf king had said so, they had no choice but to believe it.
Unless the old patriarch and the new wolf king team up to deceive them.
But they all knew that there were wild beasts in the forest and they could not leave.
Besides, they may not trust the new wolf king, but they cannot not trust the old patriarch.
Compared with the Wolf God, they are more familiar with the old patriarch and naturally trust him more.
The Wolf God is a supreme being that protects the entire clan and is their belief.
And the old patriarch is the living faith.
"Master, the Wolf God left. Why did he want to destroy my werewolf clan?"
An elder of the tribe asked.
"I just said that he did it for his own freedom..."
The old patriarch gave a brief explanation.
"So what can we do to stop the Wolf God?"
Another elder asked.
"It shouldn't be that easy, right? The Wolf God is very powerful and invincible..."
“It’s not that exaggerated.”
It was Xiao Chen who spoke, and he shook his head.
"If he is really invincible, then why are we resisting? Just let him devour us... The old clan leader and I have fought him before. He is very strong, but not invincible."
"Did you...win or lose?"
An elder who had been in seclusion for many years asked hurriedly.
“It’s a draw!”
Xiao Chen boasted, how could he say he was defeated at this time? He had no confidence and morale, so if he said he was defeated, there was really no need to fight.
"So, the Wolf God isn't that strong... If we go together, we can definitely kill him in a minute."
“…”
The elders looked at Xiao Chen with some doubt. It's a draw?
Is it possible?
"Well, the fact that the Wolf God has been imprisoned for so many years shows that he is not invincible... If he were really that strong, he would not have been trapped in the ancestral land and would have come out long ago."
The old patriarch coughed dryly and said.
"The Wolf King and I are confident that we can deal with the Wolf God."
“…”
Xiao Chen looked at the old patriarch. How could this old werewolf not even blush when he lied? It seemed that he really had to be careful of this old guy!
"Of course, even if we are sure, we still have to make some plans early. And what I am going to say next is related to whether the Wolf God can become stronger..."
The old patriarch looked around and brought up the 'evacuation' plan he had mentioned earlier.
"It doesn't need to be too far, we can just go to Wusi City... First, it can make the Wolf God less powerful, and second, if something really happens, the tribesmen can leave in the shortest possible time."
"How is the specific arrangement?"
An elder of the tribe asked.
"Those who have families should bring their families to Wusi City. Those who don't have families should bring more people..."
The old patriarch said slowly.
"There are so many werewolves in the Wusi Mountains. It's not realistic to take them all away."
An elder of the tribe frowned and asked.
"There's no point in taking those civilians away. Just leave them behind."
Another elder of the tribe took over the conversation.
"The power of the Wolf God they possess is very little to begin with. Even if... they die, they die."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen glanced at the elder. Although he felt a little uncomfortable with what he said, he couldn't refute anything.
After all, the werewolf clan has a strict hierarchy, they are like royal family, and the lives of ordinary people may really mean nothing in their eyes.
Just like the dog at home, when a disaster really happens, not many people can take the dog with them to escape.
"Take as many people as possible away. They are also of werewolf bloodline... Among them, there may be some who can return to their ancestral home."
The old patriarch said slowly.
"yes."
When the elders heard the old patriarch say this, they all nodded.
Afterwards, the old patriarch made some arrangements, and not all of these elders would leave.
In addition to Alec and his friends, the old patriarch selected a few other elders to stay and help.
Xiao Chen noticed that the people left behind by the old patriarch were those unfamiliar-looking elders who had been in seclusion for many years.
This made him feel moved. Was it because they were old and strong enough, or was there some other reason?
"Remember, don't tell anyone about the Wolf God!"
The old patriarch said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The elders of the tribe spoke up one after another; they also felt heavy in their hearts and were very uncertain.
