Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1923: Even if you take his heart out, it's black!

Looking at the bristling Steel Fang, Barbarian Bone, who had just sat down, couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"Steel Teeth, you're still as reckless as ever."

"what?!"

The veins on Steel Fang's head bulged out, and it bared its claws and teeth at Barbarian Bone. At the same time, scarlet lines quickly appeared on Steel Fang's body, flowing with crimson blood light!
"Do you believe I'll bite your throat right now, you idiot!"

"I think you've got a death wish!"

Barbarian Bone was not a good-tempered fellow; in the short time it took to speak, his expression quickly turned ferocious.

"Before I go deal with those goblins, I'll have a bite of you first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the totem patterns that lit up on his body instantly made the atmosphere tense.

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting at the slightest disagreement, Black Ridge was also extremely annoyed, but he still gritted his teeth, lit up his totem patterns, and quickly stood between the two.

"Winter is almost here. Why don't you two save your energy to raid the goblins for more food instead of wasting it here?"

"Black Ridge, you want to stop me?"

However, the angered Barbarian Bones was not swayed by this.

[Damn it! That's why I didn't want to call this idiot over!]

At this moment, Black Ridge was also furious, but he couldn't just start a fight, and he couldn't let them fight.

"I'm putting my words here: whoever makes the first move, I'll side with the other!"

Black Ridge's words caused the surrounding air to freeze.

In other words, the one who strikes first will face a pincer attack from the other two.

The words have been stated so clearly that there's no room for misunderstanding.

Throughout this process, Blackspine observed the changes in Steel Fang and Bankone, inwardly thinking, "Bankone was absolutely right about one thing: Steel Fang is as reckless as ever!"

Steel Teeth's personality can be very useful at times, but it can also cause him trouble at other times, like right now.

But he was fortunate that Steel Teeth, despite his arrogance, did indeed possess some strength.

From the perspective of overall strength, there is no doubt that Bankotsu is stronger, but Koga wins because he just hit Bankotsu's weakness, namely his agility and speed.

The small but agile Steel Tooth is no easy task against the tall but clumsy Barbarian, even though Barbarian has the advantage in strength.

Not to mention adding a black spine.

Barbarian may have a bad temper, but he's definitely not stupid. Two against one is clearly disadvantageous to him, and with Black Ridge distracting him just now, he's calmed down a bit.

The main reason was that he already knew that Steel Teeth was a guy who spoke recklessly and didn't know his own limitations.

He also has a bad temper. He lost his temper just now and couldn't control himself. Now that he's calmed down, he thinks that arguing with such a fool would make him look like he has a problem with his own brain.

However, what Barbarian didn't know was that Steel Fang was thinking similarly to him at that moment.

But now these two are clearly in a difficult position.

Black Ridge, having realized this, was speechless, but still offered them a way out.

"The most important thing right now is to obtain enough food for the winter, rather than fighting amongst ourselves. I believe the two clan leaders understand this."

Barbarian Bone and Steel Fang didn't waste any words. They each snorted coldly and sat back down.

Seeing this, Blackridge breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got down to business. "My wolf riders just went to scout ahead, and it seems those goblins were wiped out by other forces."

Upon hearing this news, both Mangu and Steel Fang were taken aback.

In fact, they had also noticed that the goblin kingdom had been quiet for a long time, and with everyone lacking food for the winter, they were all eyeing the goblin kingdom.

They just didn't expect the Blackridge werewolf tribe to act faster than them. While they were still figuring things out, the Blackridge had already sent out wolf riders to scout the situation and return.

That's how this scene came about.

Although the goblins were short and looked vulnerable, the weapons and equipment they pulled out were fierce and ruthless. In addition, they were fighting a positional war while guarding their defensive positions. In the eyes of the orcs, they were a tough nut to crack.

"A force that can wipe out goblins must be even more difficult to deal with!"

The barbarian who said this looked at the black spine with a meaningful expression.

Clearly, Barbarian suspected that Blackspine was trying to trick them.

Black Ridge remained completely unfazed.

"But it's also possible that both sides will suffer heavy losses, which would be a perfect opportunity for us to seize and exploit their weakness!"

"If we succeed, our tribes will be able to solve their food problem for the entire winter."

Black Ridge's words immediately stirred the interest of Barbarian Bone and Steel Fang.

This wave even tempted Blackridge, the werewolf chieftain known for his calm and rationality. Barbarian Bone and Steel Fang naturally found it hard to resist this temptation.

Seeing this, Black Ridge added another sentence.

"Moreover, we're not going to fight them to the death. We'll break through their defenses, rush in as fast as we can, storm their granaries, seize all their food and supplies, and leave before their reinforcements arrive!"

Okay, they were completely convinced. They had been thinking the same thing all along, and this was basically the final step.

"No problem, but let's make it clear before we start: our tribe will take half of the grain we raided!"

Barbarian made an outrageous demand, and Steel Fang, whose emotions had just calmed down, instantly bristled again.

"Bullshit! No way! I disagree!!"

"I disagree! Half is impossible, it's too much! We still have three tribes here waiting for food to get through the winter!!"

This time, without any hesitation, Black Spine joined forces with Steel Fang.

The boar-man tribe takes half, and the remaining half is divided among the three families? Doesn't that mean they've become laborers for the boar-men?

During this time, the kobold chieftain did not speak at all, but his eyes were fixed on him with a chilling gaze, which made Mangu feel a little uneasy. At the same time, it made him suddenly remember an old saying.

A dog that bites doesn't bark!

Although individual kobolds are not particularly strong, they are able to establish themselves in the Orc Alliance, not solely because they are protected by the werewolves; they have their own abilities as well.

From this perspective, the three orc chieftains in front of them are actually the ones who will suffer the least consequences by provoking the badger tribe.

Despite their arrogance and ignorance of the world, badgers will fight you to the bitter end if you provoke them.

Putting aside the badgers' arrogant nature, their strength is actually only average in the orc alliance. Their boar tribe is stronger, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

But the werewolf tribe and the kobold tribe, don't be fooled by their seemingly peaceful and quiet nature; one acts as a peacemaker throughout and the other as honest and taciturn as ever. In reality, their hearts are both black!

If you provoke them, they won't fight you to the end, but they will keep tripping you up and using dirty tricks behind your back.

It's obvious which side needs more attention!
