The Second Tribe - Part 2
The Second Tribe - Part 2
However, he had Aki now, he would let the rat beastmen do the talk with the Chief of the Rodentar Tribe. He glanced at the rat beastmen and the latter nodded. Aki stepped forward and came closer to The Chief of the Rodentar Tribe.
"What's the meaning of this, Aki? Are you going to force us to join the Dark Tribe now? You know the rule, right?" The Chief of the Rodentar Tribe questioned Aki who came closer toward him.
"Are you talking about the unwritten rule in the Gigante Forest?" Aki asked the Chief while shaking his head, "You should know the law of the jungle, the strong will rule the weak or the weak will be the prey of the strong. The unwritten rule about not attacking the neutral tribe is bullshit.
I am not here to represent the Dark Tribe, but the Empire of Tang," Aki bowed toward Tang Shaoyang, "He is my new Master and we are working to conquer the Gigante Forest. We hope that the Rodentar Forest will join our cause to conquer the forest, Chief Doof."
Doof was the name of the Chief of the Rodentar Tribe. The two seemed to be acquaintances as they recognized each other, or it was Aki was the famous beastmen in the outer territory of the Gigante Forest.
"What if I refuse?" Chief Doof asked back. At the same time, Chief Doof kept glancing at Tang Shaoyang. It was hard to believe that the famous Aki was working for a human.
"The law of the jungle, Chief Doof. Remember that for you tribesmen. If we can't rule you, we will prey on you and your tribe. The choice is on your hand, Chief Doof," Aki was smiling at Chief Doof. Behind the smiling, there was a dagger that threatened the Rodentar Tribe.
Chief Doof scanned the opposite party. Even though they had the numerical advantage, he noticed that the opposite party was composed. They were confident that the Rodentar Tribe could not win against them. He could tell that just by looking at them.
Chief Doof's shoulders slumped in defeat. In order to kill Aki, at least they would lose half of them for sure. This rat beastmen was attacking their mind directly and they had nothing to counter. Meanwhile, Aki was not the only enemy they should face. The Chief of the Pallarmus Tribe and his elite tribesmen were here and the three humans with unknown power as well.
Chief Doof found no chance to win against the uninvited guests, the only choice was to accept the offer. Grabbing the chance to survive. As for the offer to reach another height, he doubted that. The Rodentar Tribe was quite weak amongst many tribes. Chief Doof was satisfied as long as they could maintain the tribe's survival, "Alright, we will accept the offer and join the Empire of Tang,"
"Good choice~," Aki turned around. Selena came down from the carrier and walked toward them along with Lord Tang. Aki turned back toward Chief Doof, "Then let's gather your Elder, you have to make an oath, then the Rodentar Tribe's safety is guaranteed,"
"Oath? What is that?" This was the first time Chief Doof heard something about the oath. Aki smiled, "Don't worry, you just need to follow what he said then we will be done." Even though Chief Doof was confused with the oath, he still gathered the Elder. There were eight Elders in total.
The Chief and the eight Elders stood across from Tang Shaoyang and Selena was standing between the two. She put her hands together on her chest and the white magical circle formed below them, reaching Tang Shaoyang also the Chief and the eight Elders of the Rodentar Tribe, "Please follow me word by word," She spoke to Chief Doof and the Elders.
The oath ceremony lasted in less than five minutes and it was done. Since it only involved nine individuals, Selena was fine after the oath ceremony. She was forcing herself when she did the oath ceremony for the whole Pallarmus Tribe.
Chief Doof looked at his own body as part of the magical circle entered his body. He turned around only to see the same scene happen to the Elder. When the magical circle disappeared, he considered the oath ceremony to be over. He turned back to the new chief, no, the New Lord, "What can I do for you, My Lord?" Chief Doof knelt and the eight Elders followed before the remaining Rodentar Tribe followed to kneel as well.
"Get your fifty elite tribesmen ready, we will depart immediately, but you can leave two Elders behind to manage your people and your village," Tang Shaoyang gave his command, "If you want to know where we will be going, you can ask that on the way. Just get ready for now, we are in a hurry!"
"Yes, My Lord! But I need ten minutes to arrange everything before we leave..." Chief Doof replied, but before he could finish his words, Tang Shaoyang cut him off, "Alright, you can have ten minutes, so hurry up!"
Chief Doof and the eight Elders turned around and headed back to the village. They stayed exactly ten minutes before they returned. Chief Doof was choosing his tribesmen who would be following him in the journey with the new lord.
"Don't tell me you are thinking that you will not return to your tribe?" Tang Shaoyang then realized why Chief Doof asked him for ten minutes. The Rodentar was arranging things, thinking they would never return to the village.
"Huh!? We can return later?" Chief Doof blurted that out, but he immediately regretted it.
"Of course you can. You can return to your tribe and family after we achieve our purpose," Aki was the one who replied, "Alright then, since you guys are ready, let's depart!"
Just like that, Tang Shayang conquered the second tribe of the Gigante Forest.
