Chapter 63 Kejia
Pfft!
Kergar pulled out his blood-stained spear, and with the fall of the last gnoll, they had successfully won the battle.
His eyes betrayed his exhaustion, and his face showed no joy of victory. Looking at his wounded tribesmen, he knew he had to take action.
He threw the spear to the ground and then began to help clean up the battlefield.
.........................
The Black Forest Central Ring is also known as the Ring of Demi-humans. Dozens of demi-human tribes are located here, and a large number of extraordinary creatures live here. Ordinary people who enter here will be eaten in no time.
As one of the five major tribes, the Minotaur tribe has hundreds of warriors who are no less than extraordinary beings, including at least ten bronze-rank warriors. Moreover, their leaders, father and son, are both silver-rank warriors, so their strength is beyond question.
At dawn, just as the sun rose, an elderly centaur arrived alone at this foreign tribe.
"Please announce my arrival. I am K'ja from the Forest Centaur tribe, and I have come to pay my respects to your chief!"
Kergar bowed to the two minotaur guards at the entrance, then stopped to rest.
The long journey had left him somewhat exhausted, and it was tough on him at his age to still have to travel all over the place for the tribe.
When he was young, Kega was on good terms with the former chief of the Minotaur tribe, and the two tribes became connected because of their relationship.
Later, the leader of the Minotaur tribe died in a battle, and the two tribes had less and less contact, and their relationship became increasingly distant.
After waiting a while, a minotaur led K'ja into the tribe. Looking at the robust minotaurs, K'ja couldn't help but sigh:
"Your tribe is getting stronger and stronger!"
In contrast to the gradual decline of the forest centaur tribe, the minotaur tribe did the opposite. After that battle, although they lost their leader, under some influence, the number of extraordinary warriors in the tribe increased, the tribe expanded, and became stronger and stronger.
"That's natural!"
Just then, a Tauren who was a size larger than the others suddenly took over the conversation. His face was full of confidence, and it was clear that he was genuinely proud of the development of his tribe.
“I am the son of the chief of this tribe, Stonebreaker.”
"Mr. K'ja, chieftain of the forest centaurs who have traveled from afar, on behalf of the minotaur tribe, I welcome you!"
Son of the leader?
Isn't that their grandchildren's generation?
Kejia couldn't hide his shock. The aura this guy exuded was that of a Silver-rank expert. He himself had once been a Silver-rank expert, so he couldn't be mistaken.
This guy has already reached the Silver Rank at such a young age, he's truly a force to be reckoned with!
The two shook hands amicably, and then Shatter took over the task of leading the minotaur and began to lead K'ga inside!
Surprisingly, when Kja and Shatter arrived at the hall of the Minotaur tribe, a tiger-man was standing at the entrance, shaking hands and talking with an extremely tall minotaur.
The tall minotaur noticed the approaching rubble and said a few words to the tiger-man, who nodded in agreement. The two then released each other.
"Then I won't bother you any longer!"
"Yes, please give my regards to your clan leader!"
Kejia watched the departing black tiger, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
Others send messengers to communicate, but he, as the head of a clan, now has to humbly beg for help. He would never have done that when he was younger.
"Chief Kega, it's been a long time!"
Upon seeing K'ja arrive, the tall minotaur also smiled.
His name is Shattered Axe, father of Shattered Stone, chieftain of the Minotaur tribe, son of K'ja's former comrade-in-arms, and a Silver Four-Star powerhouse!
"Long time no see! You've grown so much in the blink of an eye! You're much more talented than I was back then!"
"No, no, I used to admire you a lot!"
The two shook hands amicably and exchanged pleasantries before Shattered Axe led Krug to the reception room.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Kejia revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Chief of the Shattered Axe Clan."
"Hey, Chief Kega, what do you say?"
“I won’t beat around the bush anymore. You know our forest centaur tribe has fallen on hard times. Recently, the gnoll tribe has been attacking us. Although we want to resist, we are powerless to fight back. The losses from the struggle are getting bigger and bigger. I hope you can help suppress the gnolls for the sake of the past friendship between our two tribes.”
Kergar got straight to the point and stated his thoughts, but Shattered Axe did not immediately respond to Kergar's blunt words.
Seeing that Broken Axe remained silent, Kejia's heart sank. He knew that the matter was probably doomed. However, there was nothing he could say. After all, he was the one asking for help, and if the other party did not agree, there was nothing he could do.
"Sigh~ It's not that I don't want to help you, but the Lionmen tribe is now eyeing us covetously. As the leader of the tribe, I am in a position where every move affects the whole tribe. If I act rashly, it could easily put the tribe in a disadvantageous situation."
Broken Axe sighed, looking very regretful. Seeing this, Kejia fell silent for a moment.
"I understand."
After a long silence, Kejia sighed softly, knowing that the matter was hopeless. He didn't press the issue further, and after a moment's thought, he shamelessly made another request:
"Could the Stones lend us some food? Lately, the gnoll attacks have become more and more frequent. Our hunting party has been attacked repeatedly, and our harvest is getting smaller and smaller. If this continues..."
Faced with this request, Broken Stone did not refuse again. He only pondered for a moment before agreeing. Seeing this, Kejia's bitter face finally showed a bit of joy.
With the conditions met, the meeting quickly came to an end, and the father and son, Broken Axe and Broken Stone, watched as Kja left.
"What, you feel sorry for him?"
"No, it's just... a bit of a feeling."
"That's how this forest is—the law of the jungle prevails. Only the strong have a voice. If you and I, father and son, didn't have these abilities, how much better off would we be?"
"I understand."
"I understand."
.................
Kejia ran swiftly through the forest, his eyes brimming with joy. Although he hadn't gotten any soldiers, he had gotten some grain. As long as he took a few young men to the Minotaur tribe to transport the grain back, their lives would be much easier from now on.
Coming!
Kejia had traversed this forest for countless years and knew its environment intimately. Suddenly, Kejia slammed on the brakes and came to a stop, simply because he smelled the stench of blood.
It's not unusual to smell blood in the wild. After all, in this ecosystem, struggle is a constant occurrence, and lives are lost every day, either killed by enemies or left to rot in the wilderness.
However, what disturbed Kega was the extremely strong smell of blood, which lingered in his nose for a long time and could not be dispelled. This could definitely not have been caused by just one or two corpses.
And his current position.........
It's not far from the Forest Centaur tribe!
