Chapter 426: Migration of the Whole Clan
As an important member of the Centaur tribe, Diak actually has some idea that he is likely to be the next leader of the tribe.
But he didn't expect that this would happen so suddenly. After all, Tal was not old enough to abdicate any time soon, so he was a little caught off guard.
Now, according to Bal's message, although it was not explicitly stated that the throne was passed to him, from the actual situation, he did begin to exercise his power as the patriarch.
Under this premise, the first thing the king of the Great Zhou proposed was equivalent to a series of bombardments to him before he had time to adapt to his new identity.
Good fellow, right off the bat he was talking about the big issue of the entire clan migrating! They had never thought about this before, so how should he answer?
Perhaps noticing that Diack was a little confused, Zhou Xu patiently explained.
"Unlike our Great Zhou, your clan is in the opposite world. This has greatly affected our exchanges. If something happens, it will be difficult for us to support each other."
Listening to Zhou Xu's words, Diak nodded subconsciously.
That's true. Without the ability of the Lizardmen, the energy channels are unstable for them. If something really happens, the support efficiency cannot be guaranteed at all.
It is even possible that something happened to one of them and the other one was unaware of it.
Seeing Diak nod, Zhou Xu continued speaking.
"But as long as your entire tribe migrates here, it will be easy for you to support each other on a daily basis. This will allow us to further deepen our ties and establish a better alliance. In addition, you can also use this opportunity to get rid of the 'neighbor' Lizardmen."
During this process, Zhou Xu spoke one by one, while Diak listened word by word.
The pressure from the entire family forced him to pick out every word Zhou Xu said and ponder it over again.
Then he found that what Zhou Xu said really made sense...
Are the Centaurs living there voluntarily? Of course not. The Centaurs are a nomadic race. Normally, they cannot stay in the same place all the time. Their situation is not normal.
The reason for this is that the existence of lizardmen and ratmen has occupied most of the living space in the area.
The Centaurs had no room for "hunting" at all, and they could only quickly occupy a place with decent resources and survive first.
This situation, to put it simply, is a struggle to survive, and they are basically forced to stay there.
Now that they have new options, it would be a lie if Diak said he was not tempted.
However, because it involved an entire ethnic group, he did not dare to make this decision too easily.
"If we agree to migrate, how do you plan to accommodate us once we get here?"
Zhou Xu already had an idea about this issue when he made this decision.
"This grassland is vast. I can set aside a piece of land on the periphery as your Centaur tribe's territory for you to survive."
Speaking of grassland, Diak's love for this grassland is beyond words.
Therefore, when Zhou Xu said that he would allocate a piece of land on the grassland for them to live in, Diak almost agreed directly.
He swallowed the two words that were already on the tip of his tongue back into his stomach, and this was really all thanks to his strong willpower.
"The Lizardmen may not let us go."
"I will make this a requirement and propose it to the Lizardmen. If they want to negotiate peace, they have to let you go. When you arrive here, our peace agreement will take effect."
“…”
Obviously, Zhou Xu has taken all aspects into consideration.
At this point, what else can Diak say?
He took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.
"We, the Centaurs, are willing to migrate here with our entire tribe."
Of course, Diak and the others were not able to establish enough trust with Zhou Xu in such a brief contact.
He was able to agree because in his opinion, as a neighbor, no matter what, the Great Zhou could not be worse than the Lizardmen.
At this point, we have basically finished discussing everything that needs to be discussed.
The emergency meeting held yesterday at midnight obviously affected Zhou Xu's sleep quality.
Nothing happened that night, and the next morning Bal was sleeping soundly.
He was exhausted from traveling all night yesterday. After the discussion, he went to the resting place and fell asleep at the speed of light without even having time to feel the dryness and comfort of the bed.
This morning, he had no intention of waking up, but...
"Wake up! Wake up quickly, or it will be too late!"
In his sleep, he vaguely heard a familiar voice calling him.
He struggled to open his eyelids that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and then looked at the face in front of him. After being stunned for five or six seconds, Bal spoke angrily.
"Joseph, if you..."
Before Bal could finish his words, Joseph, who came to wake him up, forcibly pulled him up and ran in one direction at the fastest speed! "It's too late, too late!"
Even before he woke up, he had vaguely heard what Joseph was saying about it being too late. Now, when he heard it again, while subconsciously continuing to run after Joseph, Bal couldn't help but ask a question.
"Too late for what?"
"Breakfast! It's too late for breakfast!!"
At this moment, Joseph's excited voice almost spread throughout the entire village.
As they were talking, Joseph had already dragged Bal to the cafeteria. Looking at the long queue, Joseph couldn't help but let out a howl.
"Ah~ I was so kind to come and call you, but you slept so soundly. I definitely won't be able to eat the food I want today!"
At this moment, Bal still didn't understand what was going on. However, the fragrance wafting from the front of the team made his stomach growl and gave him a clear hint.
The chef was quick and the line moved quite fast, but being at the back meant that some dishes might be gone by the time it was their turn.
"See that over here? It's called a dinner plate. Take one and keep going."
Joseph regained his spirits and now behaved like an old driver in the cafeteria. He skillfully guided the newcomer, Bal, to get familiar with the procedures and environment.
His whole state seemed quite arrogant, which made Bal, who was following behind him and imitating him, have a subtle expression. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Until Diak came over and slapped Joseph on the back of the head.
"Yoseph, what are you so proud of? Aren't you just a person who comes to get food?!"
“…”
