Warlord: King of All Clans

Ajina laughed angrily, "Is it the bath I'm talking about? I mean, something so serious happened in Ulanggar, why didn't he come over?"

Freya was even more puzzled. While scrubbing her body, she asked curiously, "What's the big deal?"

Arina was completely speechless and felt a little discouraged.

For the current Hewan, as long as there is a stable supply of fuel stone in the West, everything else is a small matter.

What’s the big deal about Dukak taking the lead in forcing the emperor to abdicate?

Sending Freya, Six and Strong here is enough to show how much importance they attach.

If it were another internal conflict among the earls of the North, Leo would at most send an envoy to watch the show.

After returning from Gustav, Arina felt deeply that the river bay was expanding rapidly and the pressure was enormous.

So they followed Hewan's example and annexed small tribes on a large scale, preparing to unite with the vassal centurions to form a "united tribe."

However, the political ecology of the Western Territory is completely different from that of the Northern Territory, and Arina does not have a mature reform plan, so she has to rely entirely on her own inherent political acumen to implement it.

This palace coup led by Dukak was largely forced by herself.

In fact, tribal mergers on the grassland are happening every year, and everyone is a case of big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimps.

It's just that Arina took a step too big, which went against the understanding of most of the vassal centurions, so Dukak took the opportunity to attack her.

Seeing that Freya couldn't give any answers, Arina began to inquire about Leo's personal situation.

"How long has Knight Noreen been in Riverbend? Why did she stay so long? Doesn't she have to go back to work?"

Freya said indifferently, "Sister Norin has been in the river bend for two months, right? She is doing very well, and everyone likes her very much. But brother Ivan said that Leo is a little weak."

Arina had a gloomy face. She had devoted all her efforts to assisting Strong and helped Hewan capture the city of Xingtao. Until now, there has been no response from the big house.

On the contrary, Noreen, who was just delivering a letter, was much happier than her.

But Arina was also hesitant about her marriage.

If they don't marry into the tribe, it will be difficult for the Tarhan tribe to gain greater support in the river bend.

If she married him, she would not be able to continue staying in the Western Territory to assist her aging father.

An upset Arina could only tell Freya, "When you get home, help me keep an eye on Leo. Don't let any weird women get close to him!"

Then she thought about it, took the bath towel and gave Freya a bath, "My family is in trouble this time, you must help me."

"good!"

Because of the arrival of the River Bend delegation, the sick Slatu finally came out to host a banquet to welcome Strong and others.

Yue Gechaer was still too young and thought that he could help his family by rushing back home in the wind and snow.

In fact, if Strong had not led the team to escort him, he might not have been able to enter the city alive, or he might have been kidnapped and turned into a puppet to seize power.

Shilatu's sons were all mediocre, only his daughter Arina was outstanding and his youngest son Yuegechar was well-behaved and sensible, so he also loved this pair of siblings.

Now that Strong has sent Yue Gechar over and also expressed condolences on behalf of Earl Hewan, Slatu certainly cannot fail to entertain him.

A Western-style dinner soon began, and the thousand captains gathered in Ulangar also attended the banquet.

Strong and a group of friends sat in the host and guest seats, while Arina, who was washed clean by Freya, served as the host.

More than a dozen centurions took their seats at the bottom.

In recent years, the Tarhan tribe has obtained a large number of iron armors and northern war horses through cross-border trade at Buck Fortress, and the guns and ammunition purchased are no less than those produced by their own.

It was with these that Shilatu established the invincible armored musket cavalry regiment in the western border, consolidated his rule, and annexed the Yuezhong tribe, becoming the overlord of the grassland.

The captains under his command also became wealthy, each of them had over a thousand armored cavalry and countless cattle and sheep.

In the cold winter, there is no fresh food on the grassland, except for some lake fish caught by breaking ice and grassland barbecue series.

Minotaur and elves are the same. Although they mainly eat vegetarian food, they are actually omnivores and do not refuse delicious food.

Slatu sat in the main seat, chatting and laughing with Strong, who was eating like crazy.

Although he was extremely unhappy, he had also heard of the legend of this minotaur, so this was the first time in his life that he showed such courtesy to a foreigner.

Even though Strong had only been a member of Riverbend for a few years, he had witnessed the Siege of Clemens, the Dragon Slaying Battle, and the Siege of Osluden.

Even among the few famous commanders in the West, no one had ever faced two earl's cities and a holy dragon.

Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, Dukak, who was in the lower position, started to make trouble again. He pushed the table in front of him forward and moved next to Strong, and asked curiously: "I have a question that has been puzzling me for a long time."

Strong showed a simple expression, "What's the problem?"

Dukak smiled and asked, "Do you minotaurs eat beef?"

As soon as he said this, the whole room fell silent.

Asking a tauren if they eat beef is offensive, whether they do or not.

But everyone was also very curious, because there were no more Tauren tribes in the West, and everyone was curious about these big, herbivorous creatures.

Seeing that Strong didn't speak, Dukak sneered and raised his hand, "Come, serve a roasted whole cow to our distinguished guest!"

Ajina, who was accompanying him, couldn't help it and threw the cup and said, "Dukak, what are you doing again?"

Dukak glanced at Ajina and said, "Men are talking, women should not interrupt. The envoy from the river bay is coming. What leftovers are you serving to your distinguished guests? The Tarhan tribe has occupied half of the grassland, and you can't even provide this little food?"

As he said this, he winked at the guards next to him, and before the guards of the Talhan family could stop them, several warriors of the Kerait tribe carried over a roasted whole cow.

What’s special is that this roasted whole cow was dismembered and rearranged on the plate, and it looks like a minotaur.

Arina immediately knew that something bad was going to happen. Dukak was determined to represent the West this time and anger River Bay.

According to diplomatic etiquette, it doesn't matter whether your surname is Kerait or Talhan. If you offend the River Bay envoy at a formal dinner, then that's the Talhan tribe's problem.

It’s like if an envoy from the West Territory went to the River Bend and was humiliated in public, no one would think that this was the personal wish of their generals.

Besides, Dukak is Slatu's son-in-law.

Shilatu had to smooth things over, "Dukak, you are drunk, go back and sober up."

At this moment, Strong, who had always been easy to talk to, suddenly lost his temper and overturned the table in front of him.

“I don’t eat beef!”

Dukak responded sharply, slamming the cup and saying, "You have to eat today even if you don't want to!"

He stood up, holding the hilt of the sword, and looked proudly at the centurions behind him.

This winter, he has formed an alliance with this group of centurions to force Slatu to step down.

This group of centurions not only represents 60% of the Tarhan tribe's military strength, but is also a group of extraordinary people, and there are two mid-level strongmen who are second only to him.

On Shilaotu's side, his left-hand man Geshu Man had been released and became the captain of a thousand men in the Geshu tribe, guarding the main city of the Yuezhong tribe for Shilaotu.

Arina, the right-hand man, was also at the intermediate-advanced level like him, and could only fight him alone, not a group of people.

But at this time, Dukak looked around and saw that all the centurions were drinking with their heads down and did not respond to him at all.
