Chapter 352 What's going on?
The elves are indeed blessed with innate advantages that humans can hardly imagine, but this innate advantage also makes them prone to complacency and thus slackness.
Looking at Silk's departing back, Zhou Xu quickly sorted out his thoughts.
[According to the intelligence information I have learned so far, whether it is Silk or Drogo, they are not the natives of this world, but foreign races from other worlds. ]
[And Silk just said that they used the ancient elven language to activate their extraordinary power. In essence, this should also be something similar to "mantra", but the system cannot recognize it, so the mantra column I saw showed three question marks. ]
[Does this mean that the system in me is from this world, and that the system of this world cannot clearly present some unknown things from other worlds?]
Based on limited information, Zhou Xu made a lot of speculations and analyses.
During this time, Silk, despite having a headache, called in five of his subordinates who had been discharged from the hospital.
Although he did not have the talent to be a clan leader, he was not stupid. It was impossible for him to announce this matter in front of all the clan members right away.
He planned to confirm the attitudes of his five subordinates first.
Compared to ordinary tribesmen, these subordinates are his confidants.
And Silk knew in his heart that in this situation, they who had the ability to fight were the key.
As long as the nine elven knights here can form a united front with him, the opinions of ordinary tribesmen will not matter.
After sorting out his thoughts, Silk called aside the five subordinates who had been discharged from the hospital and told them about this matter.
At that moment, the five subordinates felt a "boom" in their heads, and everything went blank. They all stood there in a daze.
Too many things have happened recently, and they have been experiencing extreme joy and sorrow so frequently that their brains are a little confused.
Silk wasn't in a hurry for the time being, so he let them take their time first.
During this process, the five subordinates couldn't help but confirm after sorting out their thoughts.
"Lord Silk, do you mean that we will work for the leader of the Great Zhou in the future?"
Hearing this, Silk frowned slightly.
"Not quite. To be precise, we have become a member of the Great Zhou and merged with them. From now on, in the Great Zhou, we will be the same as them."
As he spoke, Silk pointed to a villager from the grassland village who was busy working in the distance.
According to the subordinate's understanding, it was as if they were working like slaves for the other party, but in fact it was not the case. There was still a big difference between the two. Silk hurriedly explained.
After hearing this, the five subordinates' expressions looked a little better, but they were still a little awkward.
It's no wonder. Not only them, but even Silk had never thought of such a thing before.
As a grassland elf, he had experienced the ideological struggles that his five subordinates were going through at the moment, and now he probably understood what they were struggling with.
Taking a deep breath, Silk tried to explain the matter calmly.
"Although Da Zhou is our ally, they were able to save us at a time like this, provide us with food and water, and offer us medical treatment. We can't even repay this favor now. We can't continue to stay here without any status or position."
Hearing this, the subordinates responded subconsciously.
"Then we can..."
He swallowed the words back when he was halfway through speaking.
Obviously, he had realized the problem by now.
"Leave here? Where can we go?"
There was an unconscious hint of sadness in Silk's tone.
"The village is gone, the tribe leader is dead, and we have nowhere to go. Not to mention that apart from a few of us, most of the tribe members still need medical treatment."
The cold reality was right in front of them, leaving them with almost no choice.
At this moment, the subordinates could not help but fall silent.
In response to this situation, Silk let out a long breath.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You have lived in this village for a while. What do you think of this place?"
Faced with the question, the five subordinates remained silent for a few seconds, and then slowly started talking one by one.
“The food was delicious.”
"The house is warm and safe, and can even keep out a snowstorm."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other subordinates followed suit.
Apparently, Silk wasn't the only one who had trouble sleeping during those stormy nights.
“And the village is huge.”
“There are so many things we haven’t seen before.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Have you seen those things outside the village that were dragged by horses and could run on the snow? I took a chance and took a look, but I couldn't understand it no matter how hard I looked."
For the grassland elves who were lazy about development and content with the status quo in the past, there are so many new and interesting things in the grassland village that they can talk endlessly about them.
But as they spoke later, the five subordinates gradually fell silent.
At this moment, they all clearly realized that their original village was no match for this human village.
Looking at his subordinates who had fallen silent, Silk knew that his goal had been achieved.
"What if I tell you that there is probably more than one village like this in the Great Zhou?"
Hearing this, the five subordinates opened their mouths a few times, as if they wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
Everything before them was telling them that surrendering to the Great Zhou was the best option right now.
There may be some guidance from Silk in this, but to some extent, this is also the conclusion they came to themselves.
However, the performance of these five subordinates was not as straightforward and decisive as Silk's. Even though the indisputable answer was already in front of them, they were still struggling.
Silk also showed enough patience in this regard.
Eventually his patience earned him an answer.
"I agree to join the Great Zhou."
"I agree, too."
"I agree."
“…”
As the five people expressed their opinions one after another, Silk's slightly hanging heart could finally be put back into his stomach.
What he had to do next was to get his five subordinates to cooperate with him, inform the subordinates who were still in hospital and the 19 tribesmen of the news, and convince them.
He was not in a hurry as for the 19 tribesmen. He wanted to let them experience the life in the grassland village first.
As long as he has experienced life here, his chances of convincing others will be greatly improved.
The result was basically as he expected. It took a little bit of persuasion, but he finally managed to convince all the remaining grassland elves.
After that, Zhou Xu also directly and loudly announced the joining of the grassland elves and recognized the grassland elves' identity as "citizens of the Great Zhou".
When the news got out, Drogo, who was thinking about what to have for dinner, was stunned.
"What's going on? Are those long-eared guys in league with Zhou Xu and his gang?"
