Chapter 428 Ambitious and Ambitious
Xiong Zhi and Xiong Zhan exchanged a glance, and Xiong Zhan said in a deep voice, "Naturally, it's Zhi."
Lin Baiyan looked at Xiong Zhan with great interest. "Oh? But you are the chieftain of the Giant Bear Tribe."
“Without Zhi, there would be no so-called clan leader. My glory is shared with him, and all my rights should be controlled by him.” As soon as he said this, a blush quietly rose on Xiong Zhi’s fair face.
Lin Baiyan looked at Xiong Zhi, whose face was burning redder and redder, with amusement, and rolled her eyes at Xiong Zhan, "Alright, alright, I know you two are a couple now."
“In that case, Xiong Zhi will take up the position of elder of the Giant Bear Clan.”
After the Giant Bear Clan settled down, everyone turned their attention to Dwarf Red. Lin Baiyan looked at Dwarf Red seriously and said, "Chief Dwarf Red, how about you fill the vacancy in the Dwarf Beast Clan?"
When Ai Hong met the gazes of the orcs, the panic in his heart suddenly subsided. He calmly and peacefully shook his head, "I can't do it."
"The dwarf beast race has been hiding for so many years, and we only managed to come to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts by sheer luck. I am old and no longer have the spirit to take on such an important position as an elder in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, nor can I lead the dwarf beast race any further."
He was originally just an ordinary orc among the dwarf beastmen, but he became the backbone of the tribe simply because he was lucky enough to live to a relatively old age.
He knew that the dwarfs' current lifestyle was thanks to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, and was even orchestrated by the high priest in front of him. But outside the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, they were still universally hated.
He couldn't make the dwarfs truly stand in the sunlight; he could only hope for that with the next generation of dwarf cubs.
"High Priest, the current strength of the Dwarf Beast Clan is far from meeting the standards for elders. Could you please leave this seat vacant for now and confirm it when the next batch of Dwarf Beast Clan members come of age?"
At that time, the person holding the elder's seat will be the next chieftain of the dwarf beast tribe. He believes that the person selected after undergoing such a powerful and advanced education in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts will be the most suitable for the dwarf beast tribe.
Lin Baiyan looked at the short, hunched old orc in front of him with some surprise. His eyes were full of earnest expectations. Every word he spoke was for the sake of his race. He was even willing to give up such an important position, just so that the dwarf orc race could have a better future.
After Ai Hong finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. The beastmen looked at him with great respect, especially Hu Kuo and Hu Xia, who could best understand Ai Hong's feelings at that moment.
He was so eager to do things, all for the sake of his own people.
Standing beside the short, red-haired man, Quan Guo gazed intently at the elderly orc beside him, lost in thought.
Lin Baiyan looked at the expectant Ai Hong not far away and nodded seriously and solemnly, "Yes, Chief Ai Hong, it is the blessing of the Dwarf Beast Clan to have an elder like you."
Having received Lin Baiyan's affirmative answer, Ai Hong's tense body slowly relaxed, and she let out a long breath, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude. "Thank you, High Priest! I will definitely urge the dwarf beastmen to continue to work hard!"
Judging from his appearance, he truly seems to be willing to sacrifice his life for the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Just then, Quan Guo, who was standing next to Ai Hong, suddenly knelt down. "High Priest, the Spirit Dog Clan might be able to help with this trip."
"Oh?" Lin Baiyan shifted his gaze to the somewhat thin sub-beastman in front of him.
Feeling the gazes from those around him, Quan Guo trembled involuntarily, but still gritted his teeth and said, "The High Priest should know that the Spirit Dog Clan was once oppressed by the beastmen of the Violent Pig Tribe. If it weren't for the High Priest rescuing my people from them, the Spirit Dog Clan would probably be wiped out by now."
Lin Baiyan remained expressionless. "So?"
"The High Priest may not know that, in addition to using the Firefly Grass to track prey, the Spirit Dog Clan can also use certain methods to find other people." After being summoned to the office, Dog Fruit also vaguely guessed Lin Baiyan's purpose from the beastmen's words and phrases; they were probably looking for something.
This was a golden opportunity for the Spirit Dog Clan. Dog Fruit knew that in their current state, the Spirit Dog Clan could only survive by relying on a powerful backer; otherwise, their tribe would eventually become spoils of war for other tribes and return to their previous state.
Even if it wasn't the Boar Tribe, it would be some other orc; he was determined to find a way for his people to survive.
Lin Baiyan frowned. "What is your purpose?"
Quan Guo raised his head, his eyes filled with determination. "If the Spirit Dog Clan can really be of help, I hope that after this matter is over, the High Priest will allow the Spirit Dog Clan to join the City of Ten Thousand Beasts."
"Is that all?" Lin Baiyan thought he would make some unreasonable demands.
Quan Guo gave a bitter smile, "All the Spirit Dog Clan wants is a peaceful life."
Unfortunately, despite possessing such abilities, they lacked the combat power to match them, and their tribe was destined to never have a peaceful life.
But things are different now. Having lived in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts for so long, Quan Guo sees it clearly: this is an exceptionally egalitarian city.
Since the dwarf beastmen can take root and survive here, perhaps the spirit dog clan also has hope of living well.
Lin Baiyan tapped his fingertips lightly on the table. "Dog Fruit, to tell you the truth, this trip is extremely dangerous. It may be a matter of life and death, and the Spirit Dog Clan may suffer more losses than gains."
"But there's still that one in ten chance. If I succeed, I can give the Spirit Dog Clan a glimmer of hope." Dog Fruit's tone was full of solemnity.
He knew that even if he didn't actively ask to travel with them, as long as the spirit dog clan behaved themselves in the city, they might be able to gradually win over the other beastmen in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts and integrate into the community.
But that's not enough. This amount is far from sufficient. What Dog Fruit wants is for Lin Baiyan to protect the Spirit Dog Clan and safeguard their safety no matter what happens.
With this achievement, their tribe would no longer be dispensable in the eyes of the people of Ten Thousand Beasts City. Only in this way could the Spirit Dog Clan truly take root in this city.
Lin Baiyan looked at the sub-beastman in front of him, whose shoulders were not broad, and finally nodded, giving him a reassurance, "I promise you, as long as we can return safely this time, the Spirit Dog Clan will be a member of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. No matter when or what danger we encounter, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts will not abandon you."
Hearing his affirmative answer, Quan Guo's shoulders relaxed abruptly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, High Priest!"
