Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 138 Great Elder

"Great Elder, please don't talk nonsense. We are vassals of the Piranha Tribe. If we betray them, we will be eaten!" asked a frogman in a trembling voice.

Another frogman said anxiously, "Yes, yes! The third brother's baby was eaten this morning!"

When the third brother's child was mentioned to have been eaten, a flash of anger and sorrow appeared in the Silver-Scaled Frogman's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Faced with the shock, confusion and even fear of the frogmen in the shack, the Silver-Scaled Frogman took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound more credible.

"I know what you're worried about, but we have to consider the future of the Frogmen. The Piranha Tribe has gone crazy, and I was just playing around with them. The leader is dead, and I can't die. Now the opportunity has come, and I will take you away from here."

The Silver-Scaled Frogman paused and glanced at everyone present, making sure they were listening to him carefully.

"You can trust me. As the great elder of the tribe, the future of the frogmen lies in our own hands."

The frogmen in the shack remained silent, obviously frightened by the words of the great elder.

Since arriving here, the frogmen have been living in dire straits, constantly worried about being eaten by the brutal piranhas.

The clan leader and other high-level officials had all been eaten up in the early days, and those who remained now were just a few newly selected team leaders.

As for the Great Elder, he supported the rule of the Piranha people at the first moment, thus avoiding the fate of being eaten, but he was also transferred to the Piranha chief's side to assist them in suppressing the Silver-Scaled Frogmen.

Now he suddenly appears and says he wants to lead the frogmen to escape from here, which makes them extremely worried.

Seeing the concerns and uneasiness on the frogmen's faces, the Silver-Scaled Frogmen knew in their hearts that they needed time to accept this sudden decision.

He patiently explained, "I know this is hard to believe, but we must seize this opportunity. The Piranha Tribe has lost their minds, and their madness will only put us in greater danger. If we remain here, only death and despair await us."

He paused, looked at each frogman with a firm gaze, and continued, "As the chief elder, I have the responsibility to protect the future of our frogman tribe.

The chief is dead, I cannot die. I must lead everyone to survive, so that my Silver Scale Frogmen can survive here. This is my mission. Even if it costs me my life, I will live, even if it means betraying my people."

The frogmen in the hut began to whisper to each other. Although they were still full of doubts, the words of the Silver Scale Frogman were like a seed of hope, taking root and sprouting in their hearts.

As the Silver-Scaled Frogman finished speaking, the entire tent fell into a brief silence.

The frogmen looked at each other, with shock and relief in their eyes.

They finally understood why this great elder, who had always been known for his wisdom, would betray the tribe.

"Great Elder, we misunderstood you!"

A frogman warrior spoke with a hint of respect and regret in his tone.

The silver-scaled frogman waved his hand gently, indicating that everyone should not blame themselves too much.

"Great Elder, we believe in you." Finally, a frogman mustered up the courage and said, "We are willing to follow you and escape this hell."

"Great Elder, you are right." An elderly frogman warrior stood up, his voice firm, "We can't go on like this. For the future of the frogman tribe, we must find a new way out." Other frogmen also expressed their support, their eyes flashing with desire for freedom and vision for the future.

The old frogman nodded with relief, he knew that this decision was not an easy one.

The frogmen have been oppressed for too long, and anyone who dared to resist has been eaten by the piranhas.

Even he woke up from nightmares every day, never knowing when he would anger the piranha leader and be swallowed by him.

But he felt extremely proud and proud to see that the frogmen were willing to take risks for the future.

The old frogman was silent for a moment, his eyes deep, as if he was weighing the weight of every word.

He spoke slowly, his voice filled with unquestionable determination: "The brutality of the Piranha Tribe is witnessed by all of us.

They are bloody, cruel, and inhumane. We are their food reserves. If they continue like this, they will definitely eat us before they are destroyed."

He paused, watching the others watching silently. "So, I've decided to unite with the Blue Flag Dolphin Fishmen and the Shadow Fishmen. As long as we seize the opportunity, we will directly defect and find a new way out."

"Great Elder, are you sure you want to do this?" a young frogman asked cautiously.

"Those Blue Flag Dolphins are really unreliable." Another frogman said hesitantly.

"Yeah, yeah, the Shadow Fishmen are simply the lackeys of those bastards. What if they leak our information?"

Defection is an extremely dangerous task, and all aspects must be considered. If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The old frogman nodded, his eyes firm. "I have made up my mind. The Piranha Tribe's brutality is intolerable. We must find a new way out for the future of the frogman tribe."

"But, Great Elder, how can we ensure that the Blue Flag Dolphin Fishmen and Shadow Fishmen will cooperate with us?" another frogman warrior asked.

The old frogman smiled slightly and said, "The leader of the Shadow Fish people was eaten by the crippled tiger three days ago. Now the Shadow Fish people are leaderless and have been in chaos these days.

As for the Blue Flag Morpho people, they are even worse off. All the top brass have been wiped out, leaving only a few fools. By the time the time comes, as long as we explain the pros and cons clearly, we can definitely win them over."

As he spoke, he thought of Canhu's ferocious and domineering appearance and couldn't help but shudder.

He paused and continued, "This is also our opportunity. The Shadow Fishmen and the Blue Flag Fishmen are both in chaos now. They both yearn for change and want to get rid of the oppression of the Piranha Tribe.

As long as we can come up with a reasonable plan and demonstrate our determination and strength, they should choose to join forces with us. After all, they are also terrified of the Piranhas."

A frogman warrior said worriedly, "But the Piranha leader is keeping an increasingly close watch on us. How can we quietly gather our people and move without arousing his suspicion?"

Upon hearing this, the frogmen nodded in agreement.

This issue is very critical. The piranha clan is not slow, and once they smell blood, they will go crazy in an instant and burst out with terrible strength.
