Chapter 307 Calling the Name of [Rhine]!

"Wild Axe Tribe? Start a war?"

Hearing this, Xia En couldn't help but frown.

From these experiences of entering the [Furnace Secret Realm] several times, he has some understanding of the situation near the [Warhammer Tribe].

Knowing that there are three tribes of different sizes around the [Warhammer Tribe].

They are the [Wild Axe Tribe], the [Ancient Mountain Tribe] and the [Sun Flame Tribe].

Among them, the comprehensive strength of the first two is not much different from that of the [Warhammer Tribe], and they are all small "bronze-level tribes."

And the scale of the [Sun Flame Tribe] is very large, with a total population of almost three times that of the [Warhammer Tribe], which is already considered a "silver-level tribe" in the [Furnace Secret Realm].

As for the conflict between the [Wild Axe Tribe] and the [Warhammer Tribe], it has actually existed for decades.

A hundred years ago, the two tribes were originally one family, and the patriarchs of the two tribes were even a pair of brothers.

However, because of some contradictions that cannot be verified now, the two patriarchs turned against each other and eventually split into the two tribes of Wild Axe and Warhammer.

After that, there have been frictions and struggles of varying sizes between the two sides.

However, what makes Shane strange is that.

The combat power of the [Wild Axe Tribe] is obviously similar to that of the [Warhammer Tribe], and the [Warhammer Tribe] even has a strong man like him who defeated the [Fierce Lizard King].

If a war really breaks out, even if they can defeat the [Warhammer Tribe], they will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties.

Why did the [Wild Axe Tribe] suddenly make up their minds to go to war?

As if seeing Shane's doubts, Hope explained: "The [Wild Axe Tribe] alone naturally does not have the courage to go to war directly."

"But it is said that... this time they have received support from the [Yangyan Tribe]."

"Even the first warrior of the [Yangyan Tribe], Explosive Yangyan, will join the war as a reinforcement."

Shane frowned slightly and murmured: "Support from the [Yangyan Tribe]..."

At this time, he also had a certain understanding of the various titles in the dwarf tribe.

The so-called "first warrior" is both a title and a position, referring specifically to the strongest person in the tribe.

The participation of the First Warrior in the war itself represents the importance that the [Yangyan Tribe] attaches to this war.

However, Shane couldn't help but be a little curious.

The [Wild Axe Tribe] went to war with the [Warhammer Tribe] because of the past hatred between the two.

Why did the [Yangyan Tribe] choose to intervene?

Is it simply to expand its power and accommodate more people?

Shane directly told Hope his doubts.

Hearing this, Hope suddenly said: "By the way, you have lost part of your memory. No wonder you forgot this matter."

He took Shane out of the cave and pointed to the huge furnace in the center of the underground space.

"Every tribe will have its own natal furnace. Look carefully at the top of the furnace. What can you see?"

Shane looked along Hope's finger, observed carefully, and soon saw--

There was a part of strange lines on the top of the huge furnace, which looked like a carved mural and a totem used in the wild period, revealing an ancient and mysterious temperament.

However, no matter what it was, it was very obviously incomplete.

Or, it is just a small part of a huge whole.

"That is our ancestral totem."

Hope looked at the lines and said with reverence: "Legend has it that our dwarves are not the natives of this world, but migrated here from another world."

"And the ancestral totem is the key to our foothold in this world."

"The way it resisted the attack of the [Fierce Lizard King] before was the effect of the ancestral totem. In addition, it has many magical abilities."

At this point, Hope couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just that because it has existed for too long, its power is gradually fading."

"I'm afraid it's for this reason that the [Yangyan Tribe] is determined to attack us, right?"

Shayne touched his chin, his face thoughtful.

After hearing this, he really understood the origin of the dwarves in the [Furnace Secret Realm] and some deeper secrets.

Moreover, Shane soon realized something and asked.

"You mean... the reason why [Yangyan Tribe] took action was for our ancestral totem?"

"That's right."

Hope nodded and said, "In the history passed down by word of mouth in the tribe, the original ancestral totem should be complete."

"But because of an unknown change, the ancestral totem was torn into pieces and finally became part of the natal furnace of each dwarf tribe."

"In this case, of course someone would want to make the totem complete and make the dwarves great again."

"At the same time, it is also to strengthen their own tribe."

"It is said that in those more distant places, there are already tribes that have collected more than a dozen ancestral totems and developed several new uses for ancestral totems."

Hope smiled bitterly: "In fact, even I have had such an idea, but unfortunately, my talent is too limited."

Then, he looked at Shane expectantly, his eyes lit up with excitement, and murmured.

"But if you have the blood of the God of War flowing in your veins, maybe you can..."

"The blood of the God of War?"

Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What is that?"

This was the first time he heard this statement.

"Originally, these secrets should have been told to you after you became the clan leader, but now, we don't have much time left."

Hope said seriously: "Among the first batch of dwarves who moved into this world, the powerful blood of the God of War flowed in their bodies, which gave them great strength, strong recovery ability, and innate fighting ability."

"However, as time goes by, the number of dwarves with this war-god's blood becomes fewer and fewer."

"In other words, the blood in our bodies has fallen asleep and the power cannot be manifested."

"And the reason why you were able to defeat the [Fierce Lizard King] must be because you awakened the power of the blood of the God of War at the critical moment of life and death."

"Perhaps your amnesia was also caused by the impact of this force."

Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately understood that this was Hope's misunderstanding!

Where does he have the blood of the God of War? The reason why he can burst out with such strong combat power is entirely due to the numerical values ​​and mechanism brought by [Projection Body] - oh no, it is sweat and hard work!

However, Shane was also happy to see Hope have such a misunderstanding.

Otherwise, his rapid improvement in strength would be difficult to explain with common sense.

At the same time, Kull on the side also heard Hope's story.

When he heard words such as "after becoming a clan leader" and "blood of the God of War", the face of the bearded dwarf became paler to the naked eye.

The whole person's demeanor became a little depressed.

Even when facing Xia En's casual glance, his eyes would dodge.

Shane vaguely guessed what Hope meant by letting Kuhl hear these words.

The old patriarch may have guessed some of Kull's thoughts, so he wanted to use these words to completely make him give up.

At the same time, it is also a relatively gentle way to eliminate the conflicts between the two.

Although Kuhl will be sad in the short term, it will be a good thing in the long run.

After all, Kull is also a member of the Warhammer tribe and a very good craftsman.

From Hope's point of view, this approach is undoubtedly a wise choice - it can be said to be the so-called "wisdom of old people", right?

Shane saw Hope's thoughts, but did not say more on this topic, but continued.

"Let's not talk about the blood of the God of War for now, I still feel a little strange."

"How come [Yang Yan Tribe] assisted [Barbarian Ax Tribe] at this time?"

"With their strength, they should have been able to defeat us before, right?"

Unlike the Barbarian Ax tribe, which sits on equal terms, the Yangyan tribe is a silver-level dwarf tribe, and its strength is far superior to that of the Warhammer tribe.

In Xia En's opinion, the time they chose to start the war was a bit too coincidental.

Hope nodded: "That's right."

"There are actually many reasons behind this."

"First of all, the terrain of our world makes it difficult to implement large-scale long-distance travel and marching operations. No matter how strong the [Yangyan Tribe] is, the range of radiation is actually limited."

Xia En understood: "That's true."

There are no flat plains in [The Furnace Secret Realm], only large and small, rugged tunnels and caves.

It's not that it's impossible to pull out a large army to start a war, but it's quite difficult.

——This is also the reason why [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and [Warhammer Tribe] were able to live in peace before.

Hope continued: "Secondly, I guess... [Yangyan Tribe] may have obtained another totem fragment related to our totem, so they chose to take action."

Shane: "Related totem fragments? What does this mean?"

Hope explained: "The power that a single totem fragment can exert is limited."

"But if you find the pieces that fit it and put it together into a more complete figure, its power will increase exponentially."

Upon hearing this, Xia En understood instantly.

The ancestral totems of the dwarves need to be puzzled together!

In the past, the totem of the [Sunfire Tribe] might have been a puzzle piece that had nothing to do with the [Warhammer Tribe].

Now, since we have found a matching puzzle piece, we might as well include the piece of [Warhammer Tribe] to form a larger totem.

"The last reason is..."

Hope showed a wry smile: "I don't know why recently, the frequency of [Fire] in our area has become much higher, and there are also ground rumblings from time to time."

"Perhaps [Yangyan Tribe] also has a sense of crisis and wants to increase its strength as soon as possible, right?"

"..."

The corner of Xia En's mouth twitched slightly.

If you have to say it, this reason is really inseparable from his arrival.

Suddenly, Xia En thought of another question: "Chief Hope, where did you get the information about the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and [Yang Yan Tribe]?"

The transportation in [The Furnace Secret Realm] is so inconvenient, and the spread of news is extremely blocked.

Being able to know this information in advance is an incredible thing.

Hearing this question, Hope couldn't help showing a complicated expression on his face and answered.

"Actually, we learned this after intercepting a secret letter sent to Kuhl's wife."

"Cool's wife?"

Shane looked at Kuhl beside him and suddenly remembered that his wife Mary was originally a member of the "Wild Ax Tribe".

But now, the meaning of this secret letter seems to be clear at a glance.

"No, it's not like that!"

At this time, Kull finally couldn't help but retorted: "Mary definitely didn't mean that. This is definitely sowing discord!"

"Mary is not the only woman from the Wild Axe tribe in our tribe."

Hope shook his head in disappointment: "You have been with Mary for so long, but you still haven't seen her true nature?"

"No matter what, she will be confined during this period, and no one is allowed to visit her!"

"Mary can only be released after the war is over."

Kul opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Why is this..."

"Kul."

Shayne walked to his side, patted his shoulder and said.

"War is cruel, you have to be mentally prepared in advance."

Kul was frightened by Shane's pat, and quickly retreated two or three steps, like a frightened bird.

Shayne looked at him with a smile and asked: "What's wrong? Am I so scary?"

"Or is it more terrifying than when you face the [Fire Lizard] alone?"

As if he realized the deep meaning in Shane's words, Kul's face became paler and his body began to tremble slightly.

He swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "I feel a little unwell, so I'll leave first."

After that, Kuer left quickly as if he was fleeing in panic.

Hope saw Kuer's performance and completely gave up the idea of ​​listing him as the next successor candidate.

A weak, timid and indecisive person is not worthy of being the patriarch of the [Warhammer Tribe].

However, Kuer was watched by Hope after all, and he sighed lightly.

"I hope Kuer can overcome this hurdle and cheer up as soon as possible."

Shane said meaningfully: "I believe he will."

...

...

After leaving the cave.

Kuer staggered towards his little home, and his back was extremely embarrassed.

Kuer's eyes were filled with strong fear, and he guessed in his heart: "What I said just now... Did Bronzebeard remember it?"

"Did he discover my previous conspiracy?"

"This, this is impossible!"

Kuer subconsciously didn't want to believe this.

After all, this means that Bronzebeard will definitely retaliate against him.

At present, Bronzebeard is not only the first warrior of the Warhammer tribe, but also the next chieftain.

If he wants to take revenge, how can he survive?

Not to mention that his wife Mary is still locked up.

The Warhammer tribe and the Wild Axe tribe are about to go to war!

Thinking of this, Kuer suddenly felt that his life was bleak and he was extremely desperate.

How can he live like this!

But just when Kuer returned to his cave with despair, he found a piece of paper on the stone table...

Made of unknown leather.

"What is this?"

Kuer didn't understand, and carefully opened the paper, which was written in ancient fonts.
