Prime Originator

Chapter 654 - The Sole Candidate For Hegemon Position

"The Black Warbear isn't here to fight. But if you continue to insult us, we are not afraid of starting one!"

The High-rank Battle Master, Warlak, shouted shortly after Lord Warmog spoke, causing the person to cast a disapproving gaze over.

However, Warlak gazed back at Lord Warmog and firmly said, "We might have a mission to complete, but it does not mean that we have to lower our heads to other tribes and disgrace our own tribe to achieve it!"

"That may be so, but I am in charge of negotiations here. It's not your turn to speak when I am speaking! Only speak when I give permission. Are we clear?"

Lord Warmog stated gravely while exerting the pressure of his Extremity-rank Battle Master Realm to oppress the group's rampant behaviors.

Perhaps, he had been too lenient with them that they had forgotten his authority and not take him seriously.

…

On the Darkmoon Tribe's wall, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman suggested, "Chief Valencia, you should stop antagonizing the Black Warbear Tribe and hear them out first. Their intention might be different from what we assumed."

"There's nothing to hear from these conniving bastards from Central Region. The Central Region had always been filled with selfish people who care for no one but themselves! Otherwise, our Seven Tribes Alliance would not be defending the south from the demons alone for so long!"

Chief Blackdragon interjected with a strong stance before Chief Valencia nodded in agreement.

"That's right. The Black Warbear Tribe attempted to destroy our Water Veins through covert means. It's not easy to forgive for that, regardless of their reasons."

"I didn't see we should forgive. I'm only stating that we should hear what they have to say first," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman stated.

Not long after, Leon suddenly made his appearance on the wall before casually asking, "I'm not late, am I?"

"Not at all," Chief Valencia stated calmly before her nose shortly twitched, causing her lips to curve into a teasing smile. "Young Master Leonhardt sure knows how to enjoy yourself."

"Never mind that," Leon shook his head wryly before asking with a solemn look, "What's the current situation?"

Shortly after, Chief Valencia briefly filled Leon in on what he missed before he understood the gist of the situation.

The two sides eventually resumed their confrontation after Lord Warmog stated, "Before we continue, I ask where the Divine Doctor is? It should be the Divine Doctor's choice whether he wants to follow us back to the Black Warbear Tribe or not. Not yours, Chief Valencia."

"And what will you do after bringing the Divine Doctor to the Central Region? Gauge his secrets for yourself?"

Chief Valencia threw an accusatory glance at Lord Warmog in the distance and held Leon back before he could speak.

"If the Black Warbear Tribe wants treatment, they can come to our Darkmoon Tribe. There's no need for the Divine Doctor to travel all the way to the Black Warbear Tribe," she stated.

The tribal chiefs of the alliance nodded with approval before Chief Blackdragon spoke, "That's right. Does your Black Warbear Tribe think you can take a person from our Seven Tribes Alliance away as you please?"

"Our Seven Tribes Alliance aren't pushovers!" an Extremity-rank Great Warrior hollered from the wall, "Don't think that we will forgive the Black Warbear Tribe from trying to cut our Water Veins!"

"Is this the main reason for your dislike?" Lord Warmog's eyes flickered for a moment before apologizing solemnly, "For that, we are sorry. But since you were able to find out about that, you should also understand our Black Warbear Tribe's intention behind it."

"There's a big crisis that concerns the lives of all humans on the Infertile Plains, and that crisis is the depletion of the Celestial Water Spark, whom the Black Warbear Tribe has always been faithfully guarding!"

"You might not like the Black Warbear Tribe's methods, but it's our way of unifying the Infertiles Plains quickly and plan for our future! Nevertheless, the other three ruling tribes have caught on quickly and obstructed our plans of unification."

"Originally, there was no more hope for the people in the Infertile Plains. With the intense competition for hegemony between the ruling tribes, the Infertile Plains will not be unified before the Celestial Water Spark's power runs dry."

"However, the Divine Doctor's appearance has brought us new hope!"

As Lord Warmog admitted openly and spoke about the Black Warbear Tribe's matters, his eyes lit up brightly before gazing back at Chief Valencia on the wall intensely.

"You want to know why we must bring the Divine Doctor back to the Black Warbear Tribe? Well, I don't mind telling you that Chief Blackbear has the intention of crowning the Divine Doctor as the Hegemon of the Infertile Plains and provide him our full backing!" Lord Warmog stated.

Chief Valencia frowned, finding it hard to trust the words of someone from the Central Region before she turned to her fellow tribal chiefs and elders in the alliance and Leon for their opinions.

"What do you all think of this person's words?" Chief Valencia asked.

"The goal of the Black Warbear Tribe sounds very noble and righteous as if they are thinking for the best of everyone. If their chief plans to follow through with what they said, then this Chief Blackbear is someone with great foresight."

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman commented.

"With Young Master Leonhardt's divine ability to treat the Demonic Possession, many Great Warriors and Battle Masters will want to join under his banner…" Chief Nightraven added.

"However, we must not forget that their conniving hearts hold a deep and selfish desire. And the words of a person from the Central Region cannot be easily trusted," the One-Eye Venerable Shaman reminded.

"Perhaps, the Black Warbear Tribe wants Young Master Leonhardt to represent them after ascending the Hegemon position so they can be the representative tribe after the unification?" Chief Brightstar guessed.

"If that's the case, why should it be them?" Chief Valencia questioned coolly before adding, "Why can't it be us?"

"We planned to compete for the representative leadership position of our Seven Tribes Alliance anyways, so why don't we just nominate Young Master Leonhardt and go one step further, pushing him to become the Hegemon of the Infertile Plains?"

Chief Valencia suggested.
