Chapter 299 Spring and Autumn Annals Method
The high priest immediately activated the prayer rune array in the council hall.
The high priest stood inside the formation, and Xia Weier also stood among them.
They started asking and answering questions, one after the other.
Xia Weier said, "Besides the fact that I was really angry at the time, I also lost my memory for a period of time."
The high priest looked at the rune array with a slight surprise.
Because the rune array did not indicate that Xia Weier was lying.
This proves that what Xia Weier said is true.
"Due to some reasons in my childhood, I often experience a period of memory loss when I am overly emotional."
"And when I lose my memory, I will launch a strong counterattack against the orcs who have caused me great harm."
Xia Weier spread his hands, his azure eyes looking openly at the High Priest.
The priests present carefully examined the changes in the rune array, and they found that the rune array did not react at all.
One of the high priests said, "Third Prince, could you please tell me a lie so I can check if there's a problem with the rune array?"
Xia Wei'er thought for a moment and said, "I don't love my partner at all."
Then the rune array, which was originally a light beige halo, turned into a red halo and began to flicker.
The high priest chanted an obscure incantation over the rune array, and only then did the rune array stop flashing red.
After a series of inquiries, Xia Weier confirmed that he had bypassed the rune array's monitoring through underhanded methods.
This made it clear to all the orcs present that he wanted to go to the Spirit Fox Tribe to find a solution.
As a result of his extreme emotional fluctuations, he was unaware of the things he did in a fit of rage.
Some beastmen who were on good terms with the Spirit Fox Tribe, or who wanted to befriend the Holy Female Ruan Xiyue, or who wanted to establish a connection with Hope Beast City in order to obtain the healing water, raised their hands to vote:
They all agreed that Xia Weier should not pay the price for this.
He was just a beastly father demanding justice for his three cubs!
This time, they might think that Xia Weier shouldn't have done this.
So next time something happens to their cubs, who will speak up for them and believe that it's right to demand justice for their cubs?
Therefore, the council's resolution ended with the majority of orcs believing that Xiaweier was innocent, but that he needed to compensate the Spirit Fox tribe for some of its losses.
That matter is now resolved; the next issue is the Red Fox tribe.
Standing in the center of the rune array, Xia Weier readily admitted, "After the Red Fox Tribe defeated the beast tide, I went to their place. I don't deny it."
"However, during the beast tide, everyone should be able to figure out that I couldn't possibly have escaped from the Spirit Fox Tribe! So, I don't know who retaliated against them during the beast tide."
"Moreover, the reason I retaliated against the Red Fox Tribe was because they bribed wandering orcs to attack the tribe where my partner, the Holy Maiden Xiyue, lived."
As soon as Xia Weier finished speaking, many tribal elders couldn't help but gasp.
People couldn't help but start discussing, "What's going on? Has the Red Fox Tribe gone mad?"
"They dare to sue us even though they're in the wrong?"
"Isn't this a bit suspicious?"
"What's so strange? The Red Fox tribe might have done too many bad things. They didn't even know who was behind the first wave of attacks, but they still reported it. Maybe they want some compensation!"
"Is there still any subsidy available now?"
"Even if they pay more tribute this year, they won't be taken all as slaves! And they still want subsidies? On what grounds do they deserve subsidies from the Holy City?"
"That makes sense! They must have been attacked by several waves of orcs!"
"Yes! If you do too many bad things, other tribes will unite to retaliate against you!"
"Ha! I thought they were trying to cause trouble for the Beast King! Turns out, they were trying to bribe the wandering orcs to kill the Holy Maiden, and they ended up losing more than they gained!"
"Aren't you curious? What kind of holy maiden would require them to unite so many wandering orcs to try and kill her? I've heard that thousands of wandering orcs were mobilized!"
"I don't know about that. What I'm curious about is the Red Fox tribe that was attacked by several tribes working together. I heard that only one small team killed more than 5,000 Red Fox tribesmen in one night!"
"Huh? That can't be right? I heard that a small team launched three surprise attacks on the Red Fox tribe, resulting in the deaths of thousands of orcs!"
"Why didn't they retaliate against the Red Fox Tribe earlier or later? When the Red Fox Tribe bribed the wandering beastman tribe, they suddenly united to retaliate against the Red Fox Tribe?"
"It's quite strange! I have a feeling that the Holy Maiden chosen by the Third Prince is definitely not simple!"
The Beast King watched the beastmen's whispers and remained silent.
He knew that sooner or later, the Holy Maiden Ruan Xiyue would come into the sights of these beastmen.
He didn't really want Xia Weier to have more competitors.
If it weren't for his fear that it wouldn't be safe to bring the Holy Maiden Ruan Xiyue to the Holy City, the Beast Emperor would actually prefer to have Ruan Xiyue reside in the Holy City.
Unfortunately, Xia Weier was determined to help Ruan Xiyue open her own beast city.
The Beast King agreed, thinking that he had a long future ahead of him.
Looking back now, I really regret it.
He was a beastman in his fifties, which meant he was older than most male beastmen on the entire Beast God Continent.
The Beast King felt that he simply had many unfulfilled ambitions, which was why he craved power.
If even one of his descendants is capable, he can live out his remaining years in peace!
He couldn't help but sigh, and then he thought of the Red Fox tribe that had caused him trouble!
These heartless orcs actually bribed thousands of wandering orcs to try and kill Ruan Xiyue, the Holy Female!
He waved his hand directly: "Since the Red Fox Tribe is in this situation, it means that everything the Red Fox Tribe has suffered is their own fault! However, we still have to give the Holy Mother an explanation."
"Just because the Red Fox tribe is both the perpetrator and the victim doesn't mean we should only help them find the perpetrators and not feel anger towards their actions that harmed the Holy Maiden!"
"The Holy Female is a high-grade female bestowed upon the Beast God Continent by the Beast God! If we do not protect the Holy Female, the Beast God will punish us and will certainly not give us more high-grade fertility Holy Females."
"If the Red Fox tribe incurs divine punishment from the Beast God, that is something I, the Beast King, absolutely do not wish to see!"
With just a few words, the Beast King transformed the Red Fox Tribe from a victim to an extremely brutal perpetrator.
The orcs sitting around started discussing it amongst themselves.
The death of a holy female, who is then hunted down and killed by males or tribes, is something that the entire Beast God Continent will not tolerate.
Females are scarce on the Beast God Continent, and holy females with superior fertility are highly sought-after marriage partners.
The reason why Holy Consort Ruan Xiyue didn't have many marriage partners was because of Prince Xia Weier.
The third prince did not get along with any of the other princes. The tribe, which had no powerful backing, was unwilling to get involved in the mess and therefore did not want to form a marriage alliance with the Holy Consort Ruan Xiyue.
The tribes with powerful backers are all at odds with Xia Weier, so naturally they would never form a marriage alliance with the Holy Consort Ruan Xiyue!
However, protecting the interests of the Holy Mother as a whole is another matter entirely!
