Chapter 665 - 268: Tribe Alliance Leader!_2
Therefore, the first rule is joint operations.
Form an alliance army from various tribes, with each tribe recruiting a varying number of clan soldiers based on its own strength.
The second rule is to establish a unified defense system.
Set up guardian cities at the borderlands, such as the Southern Border Marsh to resist the Huantou Race, and the Eastern Marsh to guard against Xiangliu.
The third rule is to hold periodic alliance meetings.
Any tribe that fails to participate in the alliance meeting three times will be expelled from the Tribe Alliance.
When a new Bo Division is born in the future, it will be accepted to join through discussions in the alliance meetings.
The fourth rule is to establish an Alliance Elder Council.
All tribes in the alliance automatically receive an ordinary elder seat, and from those, execution elders are selected to handle everyday internal alliance disputes, prohibiting private acts of genocide or internal conflict.
If the execution elder cannot handle the issue, a Tribe Alliance Assembly will be convened for all elders to discuss and resolve the matter.
The fifth rule is to ensure the implementation of alliance policies by establishing a Grand Elder of Punishment, overseeing the Punishment Hall with powers of supervision, reward, and punishment.
...
The tenth rule is to build a Tribe Alliance Heroic Spirit Temple. Anyone who dies protecting the safety of the Human Race or opening up living land for the Human Race, regardless of their tribe, will be honored in the Heroic Spirit Temple, receiving sacrifices from various tribes.
...
After much deliberation, the tribes collectively came up with ten clauses for the alliance meeting.
At the suggestion of Alliance Leader Huo Shan, the deputation for Grand Elder of Punishment was selected.
Additionally, Jishan Bo, Yann Wanyun, Huo Zhang, Lord Changhuan, Lord Zhi Shui, Lord Qianshan, Lord Thousand Lakes, Zhong Yu, Giant Sand, Giant Wilderness, Nine Yang, Qianze, and Xia Shan were selected as the thirteen execution elders.
The execution elders have no Great Elder and assist the Alliance Leader.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Alliance Leader Huo Shan, all the alliance elders killed a Tier Four Wild Beast to take its blood, smearing it on their lips, and together loudly declared the alliance agreement with the Yongshan Stele as witness.
After the declaration, two warships floated in the air.
In the middle of these warships was a towering furnace spewing flames, from which streams of Fire Dragon poured down.
On the warships, the Blazing Flame Wizards performed witchcraft, continuously injecting it into the molten iron, transforming it into Fire Dragons.
Soon, an iron stele was cast.
Pieces of copper books were also cast.
The alliance agreement was inscribed on the iron stele and copper books. Huo Shan led by slicing open his palm with a knife, scattering a mass of blood.
"Tribe Alliance Leader, Lord Blazing Flame, Huo Shan."
The wizards captured Huo Shan’s Treasure Blood into the Witch Light Spirit Ban and divided it into 658 parts, embedding them into the iron stele and the copper books.
Seeing this, other lords followed suit, leaving their tribe’s mark on the iron stele and copper books.
...
Once the heat dissipated from the copper books, they were distributed to each lord.
These need to be taken back and enshrined within the ancestral temple.
This is the proof of the Tribe Alliance, and furthermore, it is the credential of every Tribe Alliance Elder.
Frankly speaking, for many first-generation lords, this was a stroke of luck.
In Yongyi, there are many first-generation lords who now only hold empty titles of "Lords" because their era lacks Divine Treasure Realm Martial Artists and are thus not part of this Tribe Alliance.
For those who seize the opportunity at the first alliance of the Blazing Flame Tribe Alliance, Shen Can will not be stingy.
When future new Bo Divisions are promoted and join, they will not receive this agreement.
With the conclusion of the alliance meeting, Huo Shan led the various lords onto the warships, heading towards the Guest Reception Hall.
Inside the hall, the Blazing Flame Clan People had already prepared a feast.
The next step is to discuss the specifics of dispatching troops.
The number of troops dispatched by each tribe depends on its own capability. Rewards are based on the contribution and achievements made.
Those who perform well will be rewarded, and those who do poorly, delay opportunities, or cause losses to the Tribe Alliance will be penalized.
At least on the side of the Blazing Flame Bo Division, arrangements have been made, and once the alliance army is gathered, there will be reorganization.
Tens of thousands of Ninth-Grade Celestial Vein Martial Artists from Blazing Flame are eager and waiting.
Inside the hall.
The incarnate, as Grand Elder of Punishment, sat to the left of Huo Shan, the Alliance Leader, with the thirteen execution elders arranged on either side.
As an incarnation of Shen Can, Huo Shan and Jishan Bo knew the identity of the incarnation, but everyone had been instructed by Shen Can to keep the specific identity of the incarnation a secret.
Externally, the incarnation went by the name Huo Chen.
After a round of feasting, the incarnation first spoke of the selection requirements for the Little Punishment Envoy and the Punishment Envoy, drawing interest from the various tribe lords.
Everyone could see the potential in it.
The incarnation had followed the Old Profound Turtle all the way to guide the Divine Treasures, leading many to speculate that the incarnation was a Tier Five Martial Artist.
In the absence of clarification from the Blazing Flame Bo Division, everyone became increasingly convinced of their speculations.
Yongyi hasn’t seen a Tier Five Martial Artist in many years.
Now that a living Tier Five stood before them, staying closer might just gain insights from an elder at the Tier Five level.
"Alliance Leader."
Lord Changhuan stood up, raised his wine cup, and drank it in one go, speaking without wiping the wine dripping from his beard: "There are still Huantou Race and Xiaoyang within Yongyi; we can’t recklessly cross Giant Mountain into Dai Land without first clearing our internal issues."
As Lord Changhuan spoke, Lord Giant Wilderness sipped his wine, feeling that the old man always jumped out at the right moments.
Moreover, the matter of the Huantou Race was already mentioned at the high-platform alliance meeting, where it was decided to temporarily drive them away, focusing on reclaiming Yongyi’s original lands.
Now, talking about it again, he suspected Changhuan had already leaned towards Blazing Flame.
No, I can’t hesitate anymore.
"Naturally not. Before external expeditions, we must first resolve the alien races within Yongyi, using them to consecrate our alliance banner."
"Alliance Leader, I, Lord Giant Sand, am willing to fight for the alliance!"
Following this, Lord Giant Sand, Sha Wanli, stood up promptly.
Currently, in Yongyi, the Xiaoyang primarily reside in the sandy oasis, with some in Red Land and some in Qing Region.
As for the Huantou Race, they are in Yun Land, the southern marshlands of Wetland. Three branches have been eliminated, but there are still four or five Huantou Race branches near water.
Not to mention, those of the Huantou Race in distant waters.
Plainly speaking, the Huantou Race near water act as pioneers, gradually turning the lands of the Human Race into wetlands with their water, making it suitable for their survival.
As for why they don’t cultivate elsewhere, it’s because wastelands have miasma, poisonous insects, snakes, and ants, which have been partially eradicated in lands inhabited by the Human Race, allowing for immediate settlement after being submerged.
"Elder Sha, please be seated first."
Huo Shan spoke, "I plan to establish alliance camps at five locations: Jishan, Eastern Linze Land of Luo Region, the southern junction of Yun and Wetland, the junction of Red and Zhu Regions, and the junction of Yu, Qing, and Yun Regions."
Each tribe should arrange their selected clan soldiers to the closest alliance camp based on their proximity.
We are not a disorganized mob; we, Blazing Flame, have battle array techniques, warship witch cannons, and military skills and will reorganize the alliance’s war soldiers accordingly."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the lords present changed slightly.
Compared to the earlier recruitment of Punishment Envoys by the incarnation, the demand for each tribe to dispatch soldiers brought some thoughts to mind.
Some might have even made up their minds already, planning to draw from their vassal tribes upon returning.
The incarnation drank another cup of wine, indifferent to the shifts in expressions of those present.
For Blazing Flame, they actually preferred these lords to draw soldiers from vassal tribes.
Having weaker strength is not a problem; they can be trained.
In fact, Blazing Flame is more willing to train these weaker individuals.
Once paired with centurions and thousand captains with Blazing Flame clan members as the backbone, these individuals will quickly become Blazing Flame’s own.
...
In the Guest Reception Hall, the lords of various tribes were drinking and feasting.
Meanwhile, in the ancestral temple, Shen Can was also drinking and feasting.
Drinking with him were the only remaining Elder Zu Hua and Jii Tianlong, both sacrificial spirits.
The two secretly watched the alliance process, came back, and pulled Shen Can into drinking, also toasting the spirit groups that had become fog-like due to their dissipated spirits.
...
After the alliance meeting, each tribe leader began to return.
The execution elders were divided into five routes, following the Alliance Leader’s orders, heading to the five locations in Yongyi to establish the five alliance camps, preparing to receive the war soldiers from each tribe.
