Chapter 275: The Battle for the Throne
The White-haired Commander and the Single-tooth Commander each brought their own confidants and stared at each other with hostility in their eyes.
"Baimao, although you are strong, in terms of seniority and contribution to the wolf clan, I, Duya, am not inferior to you at all. I am the most suitable candidate for the position of Wolf King!" Leader Duya spoke first, his voice as loud as a bell, and all the wolves present could hear it clearly.
"Hmph, Du Ya, stop bragging here. With your little cleverness, you still want to be the Wolf King? The wolf tribe will be defeated sooner or later in your hands. Only I, Bai Mao, can lead the wolf tribe to glory and dominate this Orc continent!" The white-haired leader snorted coldly and retorted without showing any weakness.
The two groups of werewolves were arguing with each other, and the scene was very chaotic. The werewolves led by Iron Head stood aside, watching coldly, as if waiting for something.
Chen Xian found a corner, sat down and watched this "good show", and poured fox wine into his mouth from time to time, with a very comfortable look on his face.
"Stop making noise!" Leader Tietou suddenly shouted, his voice filled with unquestionable authority, which silenced all the werewolves present.
"The position of Wolf King is not something you can fight for just because you want to. Don't forget, the wolf clan's ancient rule is that the Wolf King must have a bloodline inheritance. Both of you are not the direct bloodlines of the old Wolf King, so what qualifications do you have to fight for the position of Wolf King?" Commander Tietou looked around, his eyes finally fell on Commander Baimao and Commander Duya, and he said coldly.
After hearing this, the faces of the White Hair Commander and the Single Tooth Commander turned ugly. They naturally knew the rules of the wolf tribe, but they dared to covet this position because the old wolf king had no children.
"Iron Head, what do you mean by this? The old wolf king has no bloodline left in the world, so this rule is not applicable now. What the wolf clan needs now is a strong leader, not someone who sticks to old customs and practices." The White Haired Leader broke the silence first, trying to interrupt what Iron Head Leader said.
"That's right, Tietou. The future of the wolf clan is the most important. We can't give up choosing a capable wolf king just because of the so-called blood inheritance. Although I, Duya, am not the blood of the old wolf king, my loyalty to the wolf clan and my strength are obvious to everyone." Commander Duya also echoed.
After hearing this, Commander Tietou just snorted coldly. He did not refute directly, but fell into deep thought.
Chen Xian watched from the side and laughed in his heart: "These werewolves, for the sake of power, have even disregarded the rules of their ancestors. However, this is good, the more chaos the better. When Mad Wolf becomes the Wolf King, his position will be more stable."
At this moment, the Iron Head Commander suddenly raised his head, glanced at all the werewolves present, and slowly said, "Do you really think that the old wolf king has no blood left in the world?"
The whole audience was shocked when these words came out. The White Hair Commander and the One Tooth Commander looked at the Iron Head Commander in shock, unable to believe that he would actually say such a thing.
"Tietou, what do you mean by this?" the white-haired commander asked impatiently.
"30 years ago, the old wolf king robbed a human woman and brought her back to his tribe. She later gave birth to a werewolf. However, because this werewolf is half-orc and his bloodline is not pure, the elders of the tribe have kept it a secret and never announced it to the public." When Commander Tietou said this, a complicated look appeared on his face.
"What? The old wolf king actually did such a thing?" The White-haired Commander and the Single-tooth Commander were both shocked. Although they knew that the old wolf king had once robbed a human woman, they had never heard of him having offspring.
"Where is this werewolf now? Is he qualified to compete for the position of Wolf King?" asked Commander Du Ya anxiously.
"Hmph, what abilities does that half-orc have? He was expelled from the tribe by his elders when he was young, and now no one knows where he is wandering. Moreover, he is only half wolf blood. How can he compare with us pure werewolves? It's a joke to let him be the Wolf King!" The white-haired leader snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
"That's right, Tietou. This half-orc has no qualifications to participate in the fight for the Wolf King. The Wolf King of our wolf clan must be a pure werewolf with powerful strength and noble bloodline." Commander Duya also echoed.
After hearing this, the Iron Head Commander showed a trace of anger on his face: "How can you discriminate against him like this? After all, he is the blood of the old wolf king and has the blood of the wolf clan. Moreover, he has suffered a lot in these years of wandering outside. We can't deprive him of the right to compete for the position of wolf king just because he is half human."
After hearing this, Commander Baimao and Commander Duya just sneered, obviously not taking Commander Tietou's words to heart.
Chen Xian watched from the side, thinking to himself: "This Iron Head Commander is quite interesting. He did not take the opportunity to compete for the position of Wolf King, and he also knew how to protect the bloodline of the old Wolf King. However, it would be difficult for him to change the minds of White Hair and Single Tooth by himself. It seems that I have to think of a way to let Mad Wolf have a chance to participate in the competition for the Wolf King."
Thinking of this, Chen Xian stood up, burped loudly, and said loudly: "Everyone, it's not a good idea for you to continue arguing like this. Since the ownership of the Wolf King position is controversial, why don't we think of a way to solve this problem fairly."
After hearing this, the wolves all turned their eyes to Chen Xian, wondering what good ideas he had.
"What do you have in mind? Tell us quickly." Commander Tietou asked.
"In my opinion, since everyone wants to be the Wolf King, why not decide it according to the orcs' traditional duel. Whoever has the harder fist will be qualified to be the Wolf King. As for the half-orc, he is the descendant of the old Wolf King after all, so he is also qualified to participate. What do you think?" Chen Xian said with a smile.
After hearing this, the White Hair Commander and the Single Tooth Commander looked at each other and nodded. They were both very confident in their own strength and believed that the competition to select the Wolf King would be beneficial to them.
"Okay, this is a good idea. Let's do as you say and choose the Wolf King through a competition. However, does that orc have the strength to compete with us?" The white-haired leader said with a sneer.
"Hmph, we won't know whether he has the ability until we compete with him. However, I believe that since he can live until now, he must have his strengths." Chen Xian said with a mysterious smile.
After hearing this, Commander Tietou was a little worried: "Brother Shixin, your method is fair, but can Mad Wolf really do it? He is only at the fifth level, how can he be a match for White Hair and Duya?"
"Commander Tietou, don't worry. The competition to select the Wolf King requires fairness and justice. As long as he can play, he will have a chance. Who knows, Mad Wolf may even bring us surprises." Chen Xian comforted.
After hearing this, the wolves all agreed. They thought that choosing the Wolf King through a duel was a good idea, as it would not only solve the problem of who would be the Wolf King, but also avoid divisions within the wolf tribe.
"Okay, that's settled. In order to prevent the wolf tribe from splitting, we must also notify the other four tribes and ask them to witness the grand event of the competition to select the Wolf King. The competition will be held in three months. What do you think?" The white-haired leader said loudly.
Everyone agreed.
Commander Tietou stood there in a daze, looking lost.
Chen Xian shook his head upon seeing this, and thought to himself, do you think that just because the Wolf King is dead, Mad Wolf will be able to smoothly become the Wolf King?
He who wears the crown must bear its weight!
This battle is the path that Mad Wolf must take.
But Chen Xian didn’t have the chance to explain the reason in detail to Tietou.
