I am the one running the game

Chapter 550: Two draws one, a never-ending call
It was five months later that Lu Xingshi completed the demarcation of the hunting area. In addition to the ferocious tortoise, he also encountered some potential hidden dangers, which he solved.

He was planning to settle the accounts once more, but then he received a message from Hui telling him to go back, saying that something big had happened.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to interrupt the cleanup of the hunting area and return to the tribe.

As soon as I came back, I met an old acquaintance, Shi. He seemed to be in charge of the delivery in this area. The original royal envoy seemed to be dead.

"Lv Wu." Shi greeted politely.

After Lu Xingshi became a wizard, his social status was greatly improved, and most people would call him Lu Wizard.

Just like when Lu Xingshi called the Huotong tribe's "炪" he also included the word "武".

Out of politeness, most people would use a respectful title. People like Yue and Chuan already have a sense of superiority and lack manners, so how could they use a respectful title?

"Long time no see, Shi." Lu Xingshi also returned the greeting: "Why are you so anxious to ask me to come back? Did something happen?"

"The Royal Court War has begun again, this time it's against the Golden Royal Court." Hui explained the matter simply.

Therefore, it is self-evident what Shi is doing here.

"I before..." Lu Xingshi immediately spoke up and wanted to exempt the Tongshu tribe from this conscription.

However, Shi interrupted him: "I know, the Witch King has ordered that the Copper Tree Tribe only needs to send half of the totem warriors in the tribe to the front line this time."

"That's not right. It was also half before. Where did your reduction go?" Lu Xingshi said dissatisfiedly.

Seeing Lu Xingshi's dissatisfaction, Shi smiled bitterly: "This time the Witch King is no longer recruiting half of the population as in the past, but two-thirds."

After these words were spoken, Lu Xingshi and Hui were silent. This was too outrageous.

According to this conscription ratio, they will definitely have to fight to the death with the Golden King's Court, and it will no longer be a small fight like in the past.

This means that there are only two outcomes of this Royal Court War, either the destruction of the Golden Royal Court or the destruction of the Bronze Royal Court, so the intensity of the previous war with the Silver Royal Court can be fully applied.

"The Witch King is crazy. Even if we win this time, the Bronze King's Court and all the tribes will be weakened." Lu Xingshi was not like Hui, who would be respectful to the Witch King. Naturally, he spoke frankly.

"Of course I know, even the witches have advised me, but this is the order of the Witch King." Shi said helplessly. It was only because they were acquaintances, otherwise given his situation, Lu Xingshi would have been polite.

The Copper Tree Tribe was not the first tribe he notified, nor would it be the last.

"To be honest, among all the tribes I notified, you, Lu Wu, have the best attitude."

"But there is nothing I can do. I am just a messenger from the royal court, here to convey the call of the Witch King. I don't have any ability to change anything." Shi continued.

This matter was not something he could change, nor was it something that the people in the royal court could decide. When the Bronze Wizard King made a decision, everything was doomed.

"The Bronze Tree Tribe will respond to the call of the Witch King." Hui said finally.

Lu Xingshi turned around, a look of surprise appeared on his face. You can agree to this?
If we really send half of them out, what can they do with only a hundred or so people left in the entire tribe?
"If the Bronze Court loses, the fate of our Bronze Tree Tribe will be to become slaves of the Golden Court." Hui said.

The current Bronze Tree Tribe has not yet separated from the Bronze King's Court, so naturally they all prosper together and suffer together.

As for moving away again?
Once the entire royal court falls, where can we escape to?

It is also impossible to escape to other royal courts. The royal courts are divided by blood. If the blood is different, when you step into the territory of other royal courts, you will either be slaughtered or become a slave. There is no way you will be accepted.

Of course, if I could change my bloodline like Yue, then there would be no problem.

However, this method is simply beyond the control of the Copper Tree Tribe, and even if you want to change it, it is not something you can do.

So the final result was that he had no choice but to go to the battlefield.

Bloodline is not only the foundation of transcendence, but also the cage that binds them.

The power created by forming kinship through blood ties is something that the Copper Tree Tribe cannot break free of at this stage.

"With the determination of the two royal courts to go to war, the people of the tribe will never be able to come back." Lu Xingshi was naturally unwilling to accept this.

If a hundred people were really lost, the Tongshu Tribe would not just be in a state of collapse, but would be completely wiped out.

Those sent out must not be the old and weak, but the young and strong with sufficient strength.

"Someone has to carry the burden and move forward, not just us, but also the Bronze King's Court and all the tribes." Hui knew that this was something he could not refuse.

Lu Xingshi did not refute in the end.

"Since Hui Wu and Lu Wu already know about it, I hope you can make arrangements as soon as possible. I still have to notify the remaining tribes." Shi did not give too much advice. This was originally an internal matter of the Tongshu tribe. His task was to inform, not to advise.

If he was a little more ruthless and left after saying that, the tribe that was notified would not be able to do anything to him.

"Let's get some food before we go. Could you please notify us sooner?" Hui said.

Hui still has a good grasp of the ways of the world. Naturally, making friends with a royal envoy will only bring benefits.

All I paid for was a little food.

As for the matter of the royal court's conscription, it was indeed not something Shi could resolve. He was just a mouthpiece, not the real decision maker.

"No need. This matter...ah." Persimmon was embarrassed to accept it.

After Hui's repeated requests, he finally accepted it.

This was done naturally to let the royal envoy take better care of the people of the Tongshu tribe on the battlefield in the future. "Are you still angry?" Hui came back and said after sending Shi away.

"I'm not angry." Lu Xingshi rarely gets angry. He just doesn't want to accept it. He thinks he can avoid it if he uses some tricks.

With so many people involved, the royal court certainly has no shortage of people from the Bronze Tree Tribe.

"I know what you're thinking. The royal court does not lack a hundred people from our Copper Tree Tribe, but we cannot do without them."

"If we think this way, then other tribes will think this way too, and the final result will only be a complete failure."

"And we can fool around now, but how are we going to fool around afterwards?"

Hui began to explain to Lu Xingshi.

If the Bronze Court loses, all tribes with bronze blood will suffer.

The Bronze Court won, and they used some means to refuse to be recruited, which would only lead to liquidation by the court.

Everybody has contributed, why do you expect to enjoy the benefits without paying anything at all?

You really have no merit, but the stable environment you gain after victory is actually one of the benefits.

Liquidating you is not only what everyone wants, but it can also serve as a warning to others. No tribe will dare to refuse the next call.

The royal court is a large environment that everyone needs to work together to maintain.

So whether the Bronze King Court wins or loses, it cannot be fooled.

"Okay, before I leave, I'll think of a way to get a batch of three-in-one bronze." Lu Xingshi sighed. It would be good to increase his strength a little more, so that the probability of coming back alive would be greater.

As for Lu Xingshi, he is a wizard, so naturally he doesn't need to go to the battlefield.

However, only tribal shamans have this privilege, not royal court shamans.

After all, it is very difficult for a tribe to produce a witch, and some tribes even have only one witch.

If even the witches were summoned to the battlefield and died, it would mean that the tribe was half-destroyed.

After all, a large tribe is just a small group, and small tribes like the Copper Tree Tribe are the common situation.

"How long will it take? Can tomorrow be done?" Hui did not ask Lu Xingshi about the origin of this batch of three-in-one bronze, but asked about the time.

He doesn't care about origins, he only cares about whether he can catch up.

"Okay, tomorrow morning." Lu Xingshi responded, and then left the tent on his own.

When Hui saw this, he didn't say anything. Perhaps it was inconvenient to reveal his origin, but he believed in Lu Xingshi.

After Lu Xingshi walked away, Hui sighed to herself.

"Ever since Lu became a wizard, I haven't sighed as much in my entire life as I have in the past two or three years." Hui couldn't help but laugh at himself.

If it weren't for these two royal court wars, the tribe would definitely not be so depressed.

However, the clash between giants like the Royal Court was not something that a small tribe like his could resolve.

"But there is also good news. If the Bronze Royal Court wins, we can use our military exploits to exchange for a batch of treasures for Lu." When he talked about his military exploits, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter.

The probability of these one hundred people coming back is so small that it can be ignored. The so-called military merits are nothing more than the price paid for their lives.

...

"Emissary from the Snake Spirit Court, do you bring goodwill or malice?" The Bronze Witch King looked at the envoy from the Snake Spirit Court who was influenced by the snake spirit bloodline and looked like half human, half snake.

The other party came to see him openly, so he was not harassed.

If it were those spies who secretly entered the royal territory, they would naturally be killed without mercy.

"On behalf of the Snake Spirit Witch King, I'm here to ask the Bronze Witch King whether he needs an alliance. Our Witch King has heard about the war between you and the Golden Court." The envoy of the Snake Spirit Court said respectfully.

When facing a great wizard, respect is essential.

"No need." The Bronze Wizard King refused without hesitation.

He knew that the Serpent Spirit Court had always had ambitions towards their Bronze Court. Even though the distance was too far, the previous spy invasion had already made the Bronze Witch King alert.

"If you want to witness the fall of the Golden Court, you are welcome to stay."

"But if you have other purposes, you'd better leave the bronze territory as soon as possible, otherwise death will always linger around you." The Bronze Witch King was not polite at all.

"That's a pity. Our Witch King has always wanted to fight with you, the Bronze Witch King, and destroy the Golden Court."

"Since you have rejected the kindness of the Snake Spirit Court, I will leave the Bronze Territory immediately and report your refusal to our Witch King." The envoy of the Snake Spirit Court naturally heard the threat from the Bronze Witch King. If he stayed, he might die.

Then why is he still staying? The important thing for him to do is to leave as soon as possible.

But this matter is not over yet.

Do you really think that the Snake Spirit King's Court will never give up? There must be a follow-up plan.
