Chapter 216 The Schemes of the Guard Captains!
Ruan Xiyue and Duoduo bickered for a while, then after eating the minced meat porridge and fried meat that Qi Heng had made for her, she lay down for an afternoon nap.
But Kui-yi, who had just left, quickly found several team leaders and hurriedly said:
"I have already visited Xi Yue, and she is indeed in very bad condition; her face is frighteningly pale."
Who said that Holy Female Ruan Xiyue secretly ran away from the tribe yesterday? Absolutely impossible!
I see that she has difficulty even walking now, how could she possibly leave the tribe?
The Virgin Mary's pregnancy is not looking good; we must proceed with caution.
Kui paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his tone firm:
"I believe that it was a wise move for the Beast King to send us to the Holy Maiden Xiyue."
We can gain far more by following her than by serving under the Beast King.
However, right now, we should focus our efforts on protecting the Lion Clan, rather than diverting our forces to take care of the Cheetah Clan as well.
However, the Holy Mother Xiyue hopes that we will also ensure the safety of the Cheetah Tribe!
“Kui Yi is right. If Xi Yue’s health condition is worrying, we should not disperse the guard force!” The captain of the second guard team smiled slightly, his tone meaningful.
"However, the situation on the Cheetah Tribe's side should not be ignored."
Since the Red Fox Tribe has set its sights on two tribes, their ultimate goal must be the Holy Maiden Xiyue!
But if we completely abandon the Cheetah Tribe, wouldn't it seem like we're not doing things according to the Holy Mother Xiyue's wishes at all?
The seemingly shrewd and calculating Second Guard Captain paused deliberately, observing the reactions of the other orcs, before continuing:
"Of course, I understand Kui-yi's concerns. But, is it possible for us to consider another option?"
For example, could the orcs of the Cheetah Tribe be temporarily relocated to the Lion Tribe?
This way, we can concentrate our forces while avoiding diverting the guard's attention.
The hot-tempered and straightforward Captain Number Three disagreed: "Relocate? Easier said than done!"
He slammed his hand on the table, his voice booming: "Why should the orcs of the Cheetah Tribe listen to us?"
They have their own territory and their own dignity!
Besides, if anything goes wrong with Xi Yue Sheng Ci's pregnancy, none of us can bear the responsibility!
She can't even take care of herself right now, why would she care about the cheetah tribe? She's just wasting her time!
He glared at the shrewd and calculating Second Guard Captain, his tone slightly harsh:
"If you ask me, we should send a team to the Cheetah Tribe and bring back their females and cubs. The rest of the orcs can guard them themselves!"
"Our guard team's primary mission is to protect the cubs! The cubs all died recently, and now only Holy Mother Xiyue is left!"
If we fail to protect the Holy Mother Xiyue, our entire clan will be implicated!
We're not here to be babysitters for the cheetah tribe!
Kui Yi too! He should have just refused Ruan Xiyue's unreasonable request back then!
The more tactful and diplomatic Captain Number Four said, "Alright! Calm down!"
The fourth captain spoke calmly, with a faint smile on his face: "We understand your concerns, but there always needs to be a comprehensive solution."
My entire clan is under the control of the Beast King. I don't care what the other captains think; I must consider the interests of the Beast King!
The Moon Rabbit's most precious cub is gone. Now, the safety of the Holy Mother Xiyue is the most important thing to me!
He turned to Kui Yi and said sincerely, "Kui Yi, since you have met Xi Yue, the Holy Mother, her condition is indeed not optimistic."
I suggest that we send a small team to the Cheetah Tribe to help them strengthen their defenses.
Meanwhile, the main guard remained in the Lion Clan tribe to ensure the safety of the Holy Mother Xiyue.
This way, we can take care of both sides without dispersing too many troops.
The fifth captain, who always did the most work but was the most timid, spoke up: "I...I think you're right."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and murmured, "We certainly can't completely abandon the Cheetah Tribe, but we also can't spread our forces too thin. It's just..."
He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice even further: "If the Red Fox Tribe really launches a surprise attack, we might not have enough manpower. In that case, all the dirty and hard work will fall on my shoulders again..."
By the end, he was almost talking to himself, but everyone else could hear his dissatisfaction and helplessness.
However, the first group of captains who were completely loyal to Ruan Xiyue said, "Enough!"
He suddenly spoke, his tone cold and firm: "I have sworn an oath to be loyal to the Holy Mother of the Dawn, not to the Beast King."
Her orders were clear: the guards must disperse and hold off both the lion and cheetah tribes.
We don't need to argue here; we just need to carry out her orders.
He stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd:
"If you are worried about insufficient troops, then find a way to solve the problem instead of shirking responsibility here."
The orcs of the Cheetah Tribe can migrate to the Lion Tribe, and I will coordinate and be in charge of the expansion of the stone houses.
However, the guard force must be deployed according to the instructions of the Holy Mother Xiyue.
The hot-tempered captain suddenly stood up, pointing his finger at the captain who was loyal to Ruan Xiyue: "What kind of attitude is this? Who do you think you are? We are discussing countermeasures, not listening to your orders!"
The captain of the guards, Ruan Xiyue, who was being accused, gave him a cold look: "My attitude is very clear. If you have a better way, you can say so. If not, please shut up."
The smooth-talking captain quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, everyone is thinking about the tribe and the Holy Maiden of Xiyue, there's no need to argue like this."
Lao Liu's plan makes sense, but it will take time to implement.
"Why don't we send a small team to the cheetah tribe to assist them with their relocation, while simultaneously reinforcing the lion tribe's defenses?"
The shrewd and calculating second captain smiled slightly, his tone meaningful: "It seems everyone's opinions are gradually reaching a consensus. So, is that settled then?"
Kui Yi snorted coldly: "Since you've all said so, then let's proceed according to Lao Liu's plan. But I must remind you that Xi Yue's health is our top priority."
If anything happens to her, none of us can bear the responsibility.
Captain Number Five muttered to himself, "Anyway, I'll definitely be the one taking the blame in the end..."
Captain Ruan Xiyue glanced at him, her tone softening slightly:
"Don't worry, this time you won't have to take all the responsibility alone."
Let's solve the problem together.
Furthermore, the news of the Red Fox tribe colluding with the wandering orcs must be delivered to the Holy City immediately by an eagle orc!
Ultimately, the six captains reached a consensus and decided to send a small escort team to assist the orcs of the Cheetah Tribe in migrating to the Lion Tribe, while also expanding the stone houses to accommodate more orcs.
The main guard was concentrated in the Lion Tribe to ensure the safety of Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue.
In this way, even if the Red Fox Tribe and the colluding wandering orcs attack together, they won't be afraid of not being able to protect Ruan Xiyue!
