Chapter 225 The Tribe's Decision
The atmosphere in the Great Khan's Mongolian tent was thick and tense. The Great Khan Akitila sat in the center, looking at everyone calmly. The news that Karl wanted to build a wall in the north had spread among the tribes. Once the news came in, the tribes had different reactions, with voices of support and opposition. And it was precisely because of this that today's gathering took place.
The Khan of the Chaga tribe, Bakhtar, the Khan of the Black Eagle tribe, Tarbat, the Khan of the Red Blood tribe, Sogar, the Khan of the Egret tribe, and Alma, the Khan of the White Egret tribe, all four tribes were present. In addition, there were a dozen leaders of other tribes sitting in the center of the tent. The Snow Princess Nura sat next to the Khan, scanning everyone with a cold gaze, and then focused her gaze on her father.
"I agree with Carl's suggestion," Akitila said in a steady but unquestionable voice, "If the Great Wall can stop the orcs, it will undoubtedly be a guarantee for our northern tribes."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Sogar, the Khan of the Red Blood Tribe, stood up suddenly, his eyes were as hot as flames and his face was full of anger.
"No! Our tribe's territory is the entire prairie! Building a wall, isn't that the same as the Yankees?" Sogar said indignantly, clenching his fists. "We, the Red Blood Tribe, are nomadic warriors. We will never give up our freedom for anyone's wall!"
Then Khan Tarbat of the Black Eagle tribe also echoed, "We are used to nomadic life, living by the water and grass, guarding our own territory, and not being blocked by stone walls!" He had a look of contempt on his face, "The wall can only restrain us, and even turn us into the cowardly turtles in the south!"
The fierce words of Sogar and Talbat immediately resonated in the big tent, and many clan leaders whispered and nodded in agreement. The atmosphere in the tent became more solemn due to the dissenting opinions, and even filled with a hint of uneasiness. However, just as Sogar's voice fell, a cold and sonorous voice sounded, breaking the commotion in the big tent.
"The city walls are not meant to restrain anyone, but to help our region from orc invasions?" The voice came from Noura, who stood beside Great Khan Akitila, with an upright posture and a firm look on her face. She looked directly at Sogar and Talbat, "The tribes can still move as before, and the city walls will not hinder anyone's freedom of movement."
The atmosphere in the big tent became increasingly tense. Sogar's face turned pale, and with a hint of contempt, he shouted to Nura:
"Humph, that sounds nice! We've seen the power of the Southerners' weapons with those towering towers and turrets. Now you want to build a wall like this to block our access. In the future, won't our access be controlled by others? By then, the life and death of each tribe will be determined by this wall!"
His words aroused the echo of the crowd. Many clan leaders whispered about it, and some even looked at Nura with gritted teeth.
"This means you're selling us all out! You're selling us to Carl!" Talbat lost no time in fanning the flames. As soon as he finished speaking, it caused a bigger commotion in the tent.
The Great Khan's face darkened, and he scanned the noisy crowd with his eyes. He slammed the wooden table in front of him and shouted majestically: "Be quiet! Listen to what my daughter has to say."
Noura cleared his throat slightly, straightened his back, looked around at everyone present with a firm gaze, and then said seriously:
"First of all, I want to make it clear that Karl is only responsible for the construction. After the Great Wall is completed, the guarding of this wall will be entirely in the hands of my shooting army."
"The musketeers?" Sogar deliberately sneered and interrupted her. "Is it the musketeers that Karl helped you train? Aren't you afraid that he will use this to plant traitors among us?"
The Great Khan frowned and stared at Sogar coldly: "Sogar, are you questioning my daughter?"
Sogar immediately restrained himself, but still unwillingly defended himself: "No, of course I believe the princess. I'm just worried that she will be deceived by that guy Carl."
At this time, Alma, who was standing aside, thought for a moment and said, "I am not opposed to building a city wall... But, can we really complete such a project before the orcs invade?"
Noura smiled and replied confidently: "Don't worry about that. Karl has his own way."
Tarbat sneered disdainfully, glanced at Nura coldly, turned around and patted Bahriyta next to him, "Humph, it's that Karl again! Bahriyta, why don't you express your opinion!"
Bahirta was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, with a hint of hesitation in his tone: "To be honest, I don't know if building a wall is a perfect solution... But if we can have a wall, it is indeed a good thing. After all, last time, we almost got wiped out."
Talbat snorted coldly and glared at Bahirta with dissatisfaction: "So, you agree?"
Bakhtar shrugged and replied calmly: "I am just telling the truth."
"I didn't expect that the Khan of the Chaga tribe would become such a coward." Talbat said sarcastically.
"Can you say that again?"
"Enough!" At this moment, Great Khan Akitila spoke again.
"I agree with what Noura said," he announced in an unquestionable tone, "The city wall is of vital importance. Everyone knows about the previous battle. The orcs are becoming more and more difficult to deal with. If this continues... After all, this is related to the survival of our tribe. No one can object anymore."
Sogar and Talbat looked at each other with resentment in their eyes, but they heard the Great Khan shout again:
"Sogar, Talbat, do you understand?"
The two looked at each other again, and finally lowered their heads helplessly:
"I see. They are all great Khans."
At this time, Akitila's expression eased a little. He turned to Noura and said, "Nura, this task is yours. Choose a suitable location for building the city wall. Make sure to find a strong and easily defended location."
Noura bowed slightly and nodded firmly.
Noura bowed her head firmly and accepted the task. She took the accompanying tribal warriors, craftsmen and guides and began the difficult terrain exploration. During the day, they crossed the mountains and plains, and at night they camped at the edge of the desert to rest, day after day. Noura and her entourage traveled all over the northern wilderness, observing the soil, rock formations and wind direction, and recording all possible locations for building the wall along the way.
Finally, after several days of searching, they arrived at an area where mountains and hills meet. The cliffs on both sides naturally formed a narrow canyon passage, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and faced the open grassland in the north. The mouth of the canyon was more suitable as the starting point of the city wall. Not only could the wall be built to block the direction of the orc invasion, but the natural barrier of the canyon could also be used to reduce the pressure of defense. Nura stood on this land, took a deep breath of the cool wind, and knew that she had finally found the most suitable place.
