Chapter 301 Giving Up is Just a Moment (Bonus Chapter for "A Dream of Nanke")
Many orcs gasped as their minds raced through the demands made by the elders of the Red Fox tribe.
It is now known that the Red Fox Tribe has implicitly admitted that their entire tribe truly wants Ruan Xiyue, the Holy Female, dead!
Even if the elders of the Red Fox tribe tried to justify their actions by saying that their tribe only wanted the bamboo salt and bamboo forests from the Cheetah Lion tribe, colluding with wandering orcs was still a serious crime!
Whether the Red Fox tribe intended to murder the Holy Queen or colluded with the wandering beastmen, the outcome of their trial would certainly be that the entire Red Fox tribe would become slaves!
But what kind of secret could protect them from becoming slaves and instead force them to guard the border?
Just how big is the secret of the Holy Consort Ruan Xiyue that the Red Fox Tribe can use it as leverage, making the Red Fox Tribe elders believe that they can escape punishment and go to guard the border city?
The Beast King narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Disperse, everyone."
All the orc tribe representatives stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
There really is such a big secret!
Oh no! I'm even more curious now! What secret is it?!
The Beast King frowned. He knew that if this matter was handled this way, even more eyes would be watching Ruan Xiyue, the Holy Consort, in the future!
But what could he do? If he had the elders of the Red Fox tribe stand in the rune array and loudly proclaim that the Holy Female Ruan Xiyue could give birth to cubs with ancestral bloodlines.
He couldn't even imagine what kind of chaotic situation the Holy Female Ruan Xiyue would face!
What situation Ruan Xiyue faces is not important; what matters is whether he can see his grandson with the ancestral bloodline before he dies!
He doesn't have much time left, and he can't afford to let any unexpected events disrupt his plans!
If it weren't for Lu An'an being such a useless female! She didn't even give birth to a single child with atavistic bloodline, would he be in such a passive position?
The Beast King grew angrier the more he thought about it, but he had to suppress his anger.
Just as all the orcs were looking at each other, not really wanting to leave, the Beast King spoke again.
"Elders of the Red Fox Tribe, do you dare swear to the Beast God that the three cubs of Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue who died prematurely were not killed by you?"
The elder of the Red Fox tribe was stunned. He knew nothing about this! Was it their tribe that was behind it?
He looked at the Beast King, whose eyes grew increasingly furious and cold.
The elder of the Red Fox tribe hurriedly stepped into the rune array, trembling as he placed his right hand on his chest and respectfully said, "I swear, the three cubs of the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue who died young... were not caused by our Red Fox tribe!"
The elders of the Red Fox tribe originally wanted to play a trick, saying that they believed it had nothing to do with the Red Fox tribe.
If he truly believes this, the rune array, which distinguishes truth from falsehood, will certainly not flash red.
But all the orcs were staring at him, including the Beast King and Xia Weier.
He's good at using clever tricks for a short time.
However, when the Red Fox tribe went to guard the border city, the Third Prince or the Beast King could easily cause the Red Fox tribe to suffer heavy casualties when resisting the beast tide.
Therefore, the elders of the Red Fox tribe still gritted their teeth and uttered the oath that the Beast King wanted to hear.
Xia Weier and the Beast King watched as the soft, beige light of the rune array went out, then came back on, flickering for a long time before returning to its original, long-lasting glow.
The elder of the Red Fox tribe was so frightened his legs went weak.
God knows, when the light from the rune array went out, he was in despair!
If the Red Fox tribe had killed the three cubs of the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue, he didn't know if he would have made it out alive today!
After all, one of the three cubs of the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue who died young was from the Bright Moon Rabbit Clan!
With Ruan Xiyue's Saintly Female abilities, he could easily guess that the Moon Rabbit Clan cub, which the Beast King valued so highly, must also have ancestral bloodline!
The Moon Rabbit Clan's atavistic bloodline cub... what if it was killed by the Red Fox Tribe...?
Oh my god! This is terrible!
Upon seeing the result of the rune array, many orcs in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they are all respectable tribes. Even if two tribes are enemies, they cannot harm each other's children!
If the Red Fox Tribe killed the cubs of the Holy Female Ruan Xiyue, then this matter must not be settled privately by the Beast King!
After all, if it involves harming cubs, no matter what the secret is, the Red Fox tribe must be reduced to slavery, or even the entire tribe to wandering beastmen!
Because if the representatives of all the tribes could allow one tribe to use secrets to blackmail the Beast King and remain silent even when their cubs were slaughtered, then...
An invisible rule has been broken.
This rule is one that no one can break!
They also wouldn't allow any tribe or orc to break through!
However, if the rune array lights up red, and all the orcs insist on staying, the Red Fox tribe will be put on trial.
The elders of the Red Fox tribe will surely reveal that secret.
Therefore, most of the orcs would inevitably stand against the Beast King.
The Beast King can win over some and suppress others.
They were not unfamiliar with the Beast King's methods.
The tribe that used to be so aggressive no longer has any representatives in the council chamber.
They don't want to be next!
So, when the beige sheen continued to glow, they all breathed a sigh of relief!
The Beast King surveyed all the orc tribe representatives, who quickly and tactfully left.
So, the Beast King's skills are still top-notch!
He dropped a bombshell, making all the tribal representatives extremely uneasy.
This moment also made them realize that some secrets aren't really that important! Maybe knowing them isn't a good thing after all!
Of course, not all orcs would think that way!
But that's something that Xia Weier, that rebellious son, should be concerned about!
Looking at the orcs from the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Court who were still there, the Beast King rested his chin on his hand and said, "You should all leave now."
The orcs of the priesthood were more insightful. Every now and then, one or two of their priests in the holy city would suddenly die from poisoning, falling into the water, or choking on their food...
They still weren't that keen on staying.
The orcs from the Witch Hospital still wanted to be stubborn.
Seeing that the priests of the priesthood didn't struggle at all, he simply took his leave.
The witch doctors also felt that they didn't necessarily have to take on all the burdens and uncover this secret just to benefit other orcs.
After all, now that they know the secret, orcs from other tribes will definitely come to inquire.
If this secret is of no help to their Witch Doctor Hospital, then why do they insist on staying to listen, offending the Beast King? Is it just to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others?
So, the orcs at the Witch Hospital thought about it and decided that they didn't necessarily want to fight the Beast King for the title of king in this matter.
