Wolf King

"Ted?!"

"Yale!"

When the two existing senior officers of the tiger tribe met, they were so excited that they hammered each other's shoulders vigorously, and both laughed.

Xiao Yun next to him heard their "fist-to-flesh" greetings, the corners of his mouth twitched... He will never despise the tauren's death embrace from now on.

Ted Zhongzhang probably rushed over as soon as the foundry finished work. The canvas work clothes on his body were still stained with a lot of potato starch. He chased to the square in front of the cafeteria like the wind, and found Xiao Yun and the grassroots patriarch. The tiger heads rushed over immediately... That aura is completely worthy of the adjective "tiger descending the mountain"...

Ted is older than Yale, and he was a member of the Tiger Clan 20 years ago. Due to his vision, level and luck, he did not get promoted from the leader of the tent like Yale.At first, he was a little dissatisfied with "young people" like Yale taking up the position of the big tent, but after the fall of the Tiger King and the disintegration of the Tiger Clan, he was the only one left in the middle tent with more than 200 tribesmen to linger in the royal court. , The Yale tent in another continent has become his spiritual sustenance... The important task of race continuation is too heavy for a standard middle-level military officer like him!

"Clan people...are you alright?" Ted Zhongzhang asked impatiently, regardless of whether he was in a square full of people coming and going.

"It's all good." Yale was also very excited, but he was obviously more stable than Ted Zhongzhang, "How are the tribesmen on the grassland?"

"We are fine too." Ted Zhongzhang smiled and greeted the veterans who followed Yale.

The grassroots patriarch standing beside Xiao Yun silently shook his head, he couldn't bear to look directly at Ted's performance...

Whether or not to intervene in the internal affairs of the Tiger Clan has been discussed within the high-level officials of Huoyan City. Ali once suggested that if the Yale account is not easy to control, he should support Ted Zhongzhang, a general of the Tiger Clan, to seize power--now it seems Fortunately, Yale Dazhang is a "reasonable" person, and Ted Zhongzhang really doesn't look like he has the ability to compete with Yale Dazhang!

Well, the grassroots patriarch clearly opposed Patriarch Ali's proposal, and Xiao Yun also shook his head.

And the reason why Xiao Yun didn't support it was that the weak Tiger Clan didn't need to spend any effort to split up again...they had the strength to move towards the Far East!

The grassroots patriarch does not agree with the use of methods against the Far East against the Tiger Clan, which does not mean that she has no idea about the Tiger Clan.She was a little disappointed by the affiliation shown after the meeting between Ted and Yale, but in the disappointment of Ted's lack of "home court awareness", she suddenly came up with a bold idea.

Glancing at Xiao Yun vaguely, the grassroots patriarch put on a smile and strode into the middle of the tiger heads, and affectionately patted Ted, who had a lot of dealings with her due to work: "Let's stop standing here, go into the cafeteria and say Let's eat and chat." After Ted nodded in excitement, she asked again with concern, "Ted, are you the only one here?"

Ted Zhongzhang was a little embarrassed: "We haven't finished this month's production, and everyone is still working overtime."

"That's it, then let's take everyone to your foundry and let your clansmen see the results of your work." The grassroots patriarch smiled and put his other hand on the shoulder of the white tiger veteran.

"Can we go?" The tiger clan veteran who was embraced by the grassroots patriarch was flattered.

"Of course, our farm is not a restricted area." The grassroots patriarch laughed and said, "Ted's foundry is rich. Let Ted be responsible for your board and lodging, just eat and drink from him!"

Ted blushed and patted his chest: "No problem!"

The grassroots patriarch turned his head and smiled and said to the Tiger Clan veterans: "Don't look at Ted's dusty suit, they are big families here, and their houses are bigger than ours..."

Yale stared blankly at the grassroots patriarch who took all the attention and thoughts of the tribe away with a few words, and followed him with a swipe of his face.

Xiao Yun who fell last: "..."

The grassroots patriarch, who controlled the scene with a few words, pretended to turn his head casually, and winked at Xiao Yun.

"Haven't given up fishing for tiger clan to make vermicelli." Xiao Yun was annoyed and funny.

He has often analyzed with the grassroots patriarch that the longer the tiger clan's separation lasts, the better it will be for absorbing the tiger heads, but obviously, after discovering that his attitude towards the tiger clan has changed, the grassroots patriarch doesn't want to wait so long ——The wind magic talent of the tiger tribe is indeed valuable in making vermicelli. Only two bear tribes combined can equal the workload of a tiger's head!

Glancing at the back of Yale's big tent, Xiao Yun thought about it, and felt that this is not impossible... The leader of the Tiger Clan in the downturn period couldn't stand upright, and took this opportunity to implement the previous ups and downs between the Prairie Kingdom and the Tiger Clan. Relationships, making the Tigers accustomed to trusting and even relying on Huoyan City, did not affect the plan.

"In this case, just hiring and cooperating is not enough... Well, let them send the cubs here. Centralized education is better than free-range breeding." Zhuge Liang, when the subordinates rush forward and take risks, the boss must also be carried by the subordinates.The grassroots patriarch who is eager to gain manpower will undoubtedly arouse the suspicion and vigilance of the Tiger Clan. Xiao Yun can't dismantle the grassroots patriarch's position, so he can only carry the blame on.

So... Early the next morning, before Ted happily took the clansmen away, Xiao Yun took the Yale tent to visit the school in Huoyan City, and asked them to send the cubs to Huoyan City to accept the group. Education... The Yale tent stared at him with extremely dangerous eyes for at least five seconds on the spot.

Xiao Yun looked at him purely, with a very friendly smile: "Ted Zhongzhang and their cubs are in school, come and see how they are doing."

Seeing the little tiger heads sitting in the same classroom with the calf heads, cat cubs, and goblin cubs, the Yale tent was silent for a long time and nodded silently.

The sage Ayun did not bluntly say whether he would take the cubs of the Tiger Clan as hostages, nor did the Yale tent ask whether Huoyan City would take their cubs as hostages. There is a need to exist...

Yale did not receive an authentic elite education, but the environment he experienced was enough to temper people. When he led his tribe to migrate out of the endless mountains and moved to Bolton Territory, where the soil was more fertile and the popularity was more vigorous, Yale's tent knew about the Tiger Clan. The future is destined to be tied to the grassland, and this is what he wants to see... The Tiger Clan still has value worthy of being wooed, which is better than not relying on anything.

Bringing the veterans back to their homeland, Yale was ready to declare that "the Tiger Clan is willing to be a vassal" - he was not so naive as to think that the Huoyan City headed by the Snow Wolf Clan had no purpose for the Tiger Clan!

But now... Huoyan City is not only trying to accept the Tiger Clan as vassals, but to swallow the Tiger Clan in one bite!

The Yale tent is a bit square!

With such a complicated mentality, Yale Dazhang silently got on the cart to the cat family farm.

Then...Yale tent saw the Tiger Clan foundry covering an area of ​​tens of acres, the Tiger Clan people surrounding those weird machines they didn't know, and the bear heads studying with them.

"The foundry of the Xiong tribe was completed two months ago, but the output did not meet expectations, so their workers came back to us for further training." Ted Zhongzhang pointed to the tribe with apprentices with a smile on his face and introduced, "Hey, Sang Xi is leading The most important one is the workshop director of the Bear Clan, their starch pool always has problems, this time I plan to learn all the operating procedures of our Tiger Clan..."

Yale tent opened his mouth slightly: "..."

"Sang Xi is really so capable?" The white tiger veteran didn't have as many worries as Yale, and asked in surprise.

"Hahaha..." Ted Zhongzhang laughed a few times at first, and then whispered after leading the visitors out of the starch workshop, "Actually, there is a problem with the living habits of the bear clan, they are always not very particular It’s hygienic, so the vermicelli produced has a lot of impurities, and it always fails the inspection..."

After visiting the foundry, Ted Zhongzhang, who had suppressed his desire for performance for a long time, took Yale Dazhang to visit the living area of ​​the Tiger Clan.

The beautiful townhouses (saving building materials on both sides of the walls...), the small gardens attached to each house, the standard atmosphere and full of big cats and small sentimental street scenes, directly shocked the Yale big tent and the big scene. veterans.

"It's really good, it's more spacious than the blocks of the human race!" The veterans were extremely moved. They were originally worried about the poor life of the tribesmen who stayed behind in the grassland, but now they are all relieved.

Ted Zhongzhang smiled, he hadn't been this happy for a long time: "Clan Chief Arthur said that all the houses on the Lion Clan have nice yards that can bask in the sun, and our Tiger Clan should have one too, so when we built the house So we allocated some more land for us, not only to have small gardens in everyone’s houses, but also to make the streets wide (in fact, we are trying to find a way to get the money out of the hands of the Tiger Clan...). Now Patriarch Arthur It should be at the Farm Office, let's go visit her."

In a blue-brick house that was older than the new house where the tigers lived, the tiger heads saw the snow leopard Arthur with a kind and kind smile on his face.

"We're finally reunited!" Chief Arthur and the Yale tent knew each other, and he smiled at Ted, "Ted, you can't be stingy on such a happy day, you bleed a little in the back of the cafeteria Let's hold a bonfire party in the square, everyone is lively."

"No problem." Ted Zhongzhang patted his chest grandly.

"I just like your straightforwardness!" Patriarch Arthur jumped off the kang and pulled Ted out of the middle tent, "Come and pick out the ingredients for the party, don't want the ones in the warehouse, just pick them all!" He greeted the veterans again, "It's time to eat the big guys, and none of us should be polite to Ted!"

When the veterans met Chief Arthur for the first time, they were a little uncomfortable with such a small cat clan (the snow leopard is really small compared to the Tiger clan). After a few words, the group of veterans naturally followed Patriarch Arthur's buttocks...

Yale who fell aside: "..."

Whether it is the grassroots patriarch or the Arthur patriarch, they are intentionally or unintentionally highlighting Ted's status and downplaying his influence on the tiger clan. Yale is not stupid.

However, the actions of the two patriarchs really cannot be faulted. They opened their mouths to say "we" and closed their mouths to "everyone". Yale must admit that the new leaders of these grasslands really know how to buy people's hearts.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Yale cheered up and followed the crowd.

Let him see what else these prairie people can do!

The bonfire party held at the Cat Clan Farm that night was very lively. Even the theater troupe composed of Cat Clan, Human Clan and Snake Clan came to put on an impromptu performance. Under the intentional drive of Chief Arthur, the Yale tent and the veterans were even more so. Happened to witness first hand how popular and respected Ted is in the tent here...

"Will it be too obvious? I don't think the face of that big tent is very good-looking." In private, A Jiang, the golden cat cub trained by Chief Arthur himself, asked Chief Arthur this way.

"It's okay, we have the support of the grassroots patriarch." Patriarch Arthur was very calm, "Ah Yun didn't object, this thing must be done."

Ah Jiang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Yale Dazhang was very calm, even if the veterans he brought surrounded Ted Zhongzhang, he did not say a word that would disturb the interest of the tribe.

On the third day after arriving at the Cat Clan Farm, Chief Arthur tried to see what he knew... First, he arranged for a few veterans to help in the foundry, and then took Yale to attend the farm management meeting.

Halfway through the meeting, Yale's gaze on Patriarch Arthur was extremely profound... By the end of the meeting, Yale's gaze on Ted was already very complicated.

Ted, who has been integrated into the Huoyan City system unknowingly, can't understand Yale's complicated mood at all, and said beamingly: "Dazhang, I think this is good. If the foundry scale expands to the thousand-person level, we can also use Barr." There is a new type of starch machine at the vermicelli factory, which is more efficient than the current beating machine."

Seeing that Yale looked wrong, Ted seemed to have thought of something, and quickly said: "Of course, it would be inappropriate for me to continue to be the director of the foundry. Why don't you arrange someone to take over the factory?"

The longer Ted hangs out with people like Chief Arthur, the more he is convinced of his ability. His middle account is purely based on his seniority. The adjutant appointed by the Tiger King was also a similar candidate. Rest assured is also understandable.

Yale: "..."

The big tent of the tiger tribe patted Ted on the shoulder with complicated emotions, and a thousand words turned into a sigh...

"Yale's tent agrees?"

On Huoyan City's side, seeing the grassroots patriarch smiling happily, Xiao Yun knew that the patriarch's plan to recruit people had succeeded.If it were someone else's words, Xiao Yun's praises were already pouring out, and Xiao Yun couldn't help but want to hit her with the words of the grassroots patriarch: "You are too bold, that big account is not like Ted. It's easy to deal with, in case people don't cooperate that much, or see through our bottom line and overturn the table and force us to make concessions, good things can turn into bad things."

"I know, I know, exposing the bottom line too early will make people make a fuss, right? You should take your time, give some buffer time for people to consider the pros and cons, and then create a mentality of worrying about gains and losses. At that time, you can reach out to be stable." Grassroots patriarch said with a smile, "But if we follow your steps, this time we have to put people back first, and wait a year or so before we can pull them over. Why bother?" How about wasting this time? I think Ayun, you are seeking too much stability, we don’t need to be so careful now.”

Xiao Yun opened his mouth wide: "..."

This guy bowed his head and reflected for a while, struggling: "Well—you are right, I am too cautious in this place. With the bargaining chips we can get, we really don't have to worry about the current Tiger Clan being able to overturn the table. "

Not sticking to one's own opinion for the sake of face is the quality that the management should have. The clan members of Yale's account do not have low frequency of dealing with the grassland. It doesn't mean that it can be closed if it is closed, let alone that the Yale tent has already made a gesture of bowing its head willingly?

It was only a matter of time before his head was lowered and he bent over. Out of habit, Xiao Yun planned to spend another year and a half on subduing the Tiger Clan. relation.

After adjusting his thoughts, Xiao Yun quickly cheered up: "Okay, since the general trend is like this... then let's take advantage of the trend and eat the Tiger Clan into our mouths, and don't waste this good opportunity."

This time, the grassroots patriarch opened his mouth wide: "Wait, your thoughts are jumping too fast and I can't keep up. What are you planning to do?"

Xiao Yun smiled mysteriously...

Yale, who had just reluctantly accepted the established fact that the Tiger Clan was absorbed into the New Grassland Kingdom, was soon called to Huoyan City to hold the "National Defense and Military Conference".

At the meeting, the Yale tent looked left at White Bear General Wood, right at Lion Clan General Gloria, Wing Clan Elder and others, and turned his gaze to Flame Kingdom Marshal Yu, General A Tian, ​​Xiao Hua and others ahead. Confused.

——Why are there Far Eastern races present? !This is the military meeting of the Prairie Kingdom, right? ?

The sage Ayun who presided over the meeting stood up and said to the participants in high spirits: "According to the information we have received, the expeditionary force of the White Bear Clan will enter the York Mountains before August."

General Gloria, Elder Yi Clan, Elder Tea Bear, Marshal Yu, and others looked in the direction of White Bear General Wood, smiling and applauding...

Yale: "??"

"Great, Wood, Hal, Ice Bear's farm can be marked out in advance." The No. [-] cat clan farm representative, Chief Arthur, said happily to the two white bears present.

Wood nodded reservedly, and Hal, who was sitting next to him, was not as calm as he was, and shook his fist excitedly.

"Arthur, is the agricultural machinery at the farm enough to support the white bear?" said the gray dwarf Baru, the representative of the hilly new area.

"Enough, the batch purchased at the beginning of the year has not been used yet. If it is not enough, I will submit an order to you." Patriarch Arthur said.

"Wait, it's not appropriate for the white bear to belong to the No. [-] farm. Will Chief Arthur be too busy?" Banbao Xia, the representative of the No. [-] farm, suddenly said, "For the past two years, our No. The source of the upper reaches of the river was developed, and the water and soil of that generation were good, even if the Grand Canal was not opened, it would still be enough to irrigate the land that is conservatively estimated to be thousands of slopes, and it is more northerly, more suitable for white bears to live in."

Yale: "???"

"Wait Xia, it's too ugly to rob people at this time, why didn't I see you say that Chief Arthur is too busy two years ago?" Black Panther Qingyan, the representative of Farm No. [-], patted the table with his eyebrows raised.

"I'm just stating the facts. There is indeed land in the north that is more suitable for white bears." Xia was not in a hurry at all, and smiled friendlyly at Wood and Hal, "It's closer to the hilly new area, and it's easier to transfer agricultural machinery Convenience, secondly, there is a large piece of grassland that has been raised for several years around, if the white bear family intends to start animal husbandry, there is ready-made grass fodder that can be used..."

"Keeping a ghost is simply a deserted pasture!" Seeing that Wood and Hal were really moved, Qing Yan became anxious, "Then why not come to our No. [-] farm, where the place is more open!"

Yale: "????"

Is this really a military meeting? !

"Okay, okay!" the grassroots patriarch stopped the two big cats who were pinching each other, "the number of farms under the jurisdiction of No. [-] farm has exceeded [-], and Arthur may indeed be too busy. Since No. I intend to share the work for Arthur. How about this? After you both go back, hurry up and prepare the receiving personnel. When the white bears arrive, you will arrange the new arrivals of the white bears. The white bears will choose which side to participate in the production. General Wood thinks how?"

Wood hesitated for two seconds, then nodded reservedly - he has been living in the snow leopard Arthur's place, and he doesn't know much about the other two farms. He is happy to see that the two sides actively offer various preferential policies in order to compete for his clansman...

Yale: "..."

"The next thing is to arrange for the salaries of the various tribes to be sent back to the Far East." Xiao Yun, who did not participate in the disputes among the participants, smiled and nodded at Wood, "This time, the white bear tribe's expeditionary force has prepared transportation personnel for us, and they will have a The small troop got separated from the big troop after the 'battle', and returned to the polar region on their own. On the way, they helped everyone send the property they wanted to send back to the place..."

"Can you also send heavier equipment?" Tea Bear Elder Kuku quickly raised his hand.

It was General Wood who answered Elder Kuku: "All equipment that can be disassembled and assembled can be delivered, and the total weight should not exceed three tons." If it is too heavy, it will be impossible to bring goods for others, and Bai Xiong also has things to send back.

"Can you guarantee the safety of your property?" Lion General Gloria asked.

"The elders of my clan lead the team personally, don't worry." Wood replied.

"For our side... I hope that some clan members who are worried about their families can return to Helsinki, and arrange some other people to come over. Will it be too much trouble?" the elder of the Yi clan asked cautiously.Worrying about the family is just an excuse. In fact, some clansmen really can't adapt to the climate on the grassland. The elders of the Yi clan want to replace some people who can do things.

"We need to prepare for this in advance. It is best to arrange for people to go to the York Mountains to stand by before July." Xiao Yun also knew the difficulties of the Yi Clan, so he opened the door for convenience.

"Okay!" The Yi clan elder nodded quickly.

Next, the various ethnic groups in the Far East began to calculate how much money and supplies they had to send back to their hometowns, and discussed how to allocate the "transportation capacity" provided by the white bear...

Yale, who sat by and listened blankly: "..."

If you insist on saying that this is a military meeting, then so be it...

Using such a special military meeting as a foreshadowing, Xiao Yun personally took the Yale tent to visit the army training site of the New Grassland Kingdom, and let the Yale tent know the combat effectiveness of the wolf cavalry brigade and the newborn cat clan magician group. In the end, I also showed the Yale big tent a new way of fighting-the detonators buried in the open space were detonated by the goblin technology units responsible for the blasting, and the boulders weighing dozens of tons were blown up into the sky.

"Goblins should still play explosions." Xiao Yun said with a smile to the big tent of the Tiger Clan whose ears were bristling.

Yale: "..." The Tiger Clan of the aborigines has never played Warcraft, so they definitely don't know how to pick up this stalk.

Next, when Xiao Yun raised the sensitive issue of whether someone from the Tiger Clan "joined the army", Yale did not decline immediately.

"We don't treat soldiers as consumables. Any soldier is extremely precious to us. We will do our best to use other methods to resolve disputes where there is no need to invest soldiers to fight for their lives." Xiao Yun said solemnly. "In the past few years, Huoyan City has not made any soldier pay the price of life that he should not have to pay in the battle against the Far East invaders."

Yale really wants to say, you and the Far East are really not at war...

"Of course, not wanting any soldiers to sacrifice meaninglessly does not mean that our soldiers cannot go to the battlefield and our army does not have to maintain combat effectiveness. If we grassland people want to protect our homeland and our living space, we must have a strong I will not assure you that not a Tiger soldier will die on the battlefield if a Tiger soldier is a part of our army. The moment anyone takes up arms, everyone must Facing death threats."

After a pause, Xiao Yun looked up at Yale, and solemnly extended the invitation: "Tiger Clan, are you still willing to regard this grassland as a home that you will protect at the expense of your life?"

Different from the small calculations of the grassroots and Arthur patriarchs, Xiao Yun not only wants the people of the Tiger Clan, but also the hearts of the Tiger Clan!

The Yale tent and the sage of the snow wolf tribe looked at each other for a few seconds, secretly clenched their fists, and said forcefully, "Yes!"
