Almost every word Hu Lun'er said was agreed upon by the wise Smart, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
After a while, Hu Lun'er calmed down and coldly snorted, "That so-called tribal high shaman is nothing but a mortal pretending to be a god, yet he dares to fight against me, a genuine apostle of God!"
"Chief, you're right. However, in the long run, before we can master the same animal taming techniques, our tribe's expansion needs careful planning." The wise man Smart finally uttered a reasonable statement.
After so much gentle persuasion from the wise Smart, even someone as impatient as Hu Lun'er was finally able to calm down and listen to some advice.
"Hmph, this is the first defeat my tribe has ever suffered since it went on a campaign." Hu Lun'er snorted coldly, clearly still quite dissatisfied with the actions of the Fengyan tribe.
"It's not that I can't fight those ferocious beasts in a direct confrontation. It's just that the Beacon Fire Tribe has already imitated us, forming an alliance with dozens of surrounding tribes, and has even extended an olive branch to our tribe's alliance."
The alliance model itself was proposed by the wise man Smart. When dealing with small tribes, instead of resorting to violence and slaughter, they would extend friendly invitations to form an alliance.
The leaders of each tribe remain the leaders of their respective tribes, but they are required to cooperate when facing enemies and pay a certain amount of "taxes" to the large tribe to which Hulun belongs.
Of course, if those smaller tribes were attacked, Hulun would not hesitate to lend a helping hand.
This idea came about because Hu Lun'er realized that she had once been a member of a small tribe and therefore had a deep empathy for them, which ultimately led to its realization.
Hu Lun'er originally thought that this was created by the wise man Smart, but she did not expect that the Fengyan tribe could learn it so easily, which made Hu Lun'er quite unhappy.
"I've come here today to ask if you have any good ideas," Hu Lun'er said.
In fact, after receiving the surrender of the wise man Smart, Hulun would almost always consult the wise man Smart whenever she encountered a problem.
Because Smart is a true sage, he always handles everything with ease, as if he has an inexhaustible supply of ideas in his mind.
Sometimes even Hu Lun'er found it strange. How could Smart, the wise man, have so many strange and wonderful ideas inside his head, which looked even smaller than her own?
If it weren't for the excessive humility of the wise Smart, Hulun would have almost suspected that the wise Smart was also an apostle of God.
"Of course there are solutions. Since you have chosen to follow me, my lord, all my methods will naturally be at your disposal," the wise Smart said with a smile.
Hu Lun'er's eyes immediately lit up. All that he had said earlier was actually to ask about this.
Please tell us!
Seeing that Hulun had become unusually polite, the wise Smart did not keep him waiting for long before speaking.
"What the Beacon Fire Tribe did this time is indeed very dangerous for us. The value of our alliance lies in uniting the various tribes. Now that they are wavering, we should change our strategy!"
"First and foremost, naturally, is to change the tribal system and establish a true eagle kingdom!"
"The Kingdom of Eagles?" Hu Lun'er's expression was full of doubt; with his intelligence, he certainly couldn't understand the implications.
He didn't even understand what a "nation" was!
A look of helplessness flashed across Smart's face, but he concealed it well and didn't let it linger on his face for long.
Furthermore, Hu Lun'er was still struggling with the new words she had learned and did not pay much attention to the wise Smart, so she did not notice the fleeting disdain on his face.
"That's not important. In short, as the apostle of God, you should be the first leader of our Eagle Kingdom! From now on, the leaders of other tribes will no longer be allowed to elect their own leaders, but will be appointed by you!"
"Appointment?" Hu Lun'er asked curiously, as this was a foreign word to him as well.
He couldn't understand why the wise Smart could always come up with so many nonsensical words; he just wanted a solution.
The wise Smart saw that Hulun's expression was gradually becoming impatient, and knew that he didn't have much time left.
Although Hulun'er possesses formidable strength, his patience is always very limited. If he cannot finish explaining the matter within the limits of his patience, even the wise Smart might not listen to him.
"Weren't there some tribes that didn't obey your rule before? Ultimately, it was because they threatened the position of their leader. But it doesn't matter. Disobeying the apostle of God is a serious crime in itself. You only need to punish them in the name of God."
"As for the remaining leaders who are willing to submit to you, you only need to reward them handsomely and distribute the resources left behind by the scattered tribes to them, and you will be able to strengthen your rule."
"In that case, more and more chieftains will choose to submit to you. After all, in this land, no tribe is more powerful than you."
Of all the words Smart said, Hu Lun'er only truly understood the last one—a flattering remark.
He couldn't help but frown. "But we're trying to deal with the Beacon Fire Tribe right now, what good will this do?"
The wise Smart once again suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, inwardly lamenting that he, as the leader, was ultimately a fool.
However, the wise Smart's face showed no sign of dissatisfaction, remaining as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Indeed, we are no match for the Beacon Fire Tribe in a direct confrontation, and they have even extended their reach into our alliance. As the saying goes, 'To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability.' What we need to do most right now is to consolidate your rule within the tribe!"
"With all the tribal leaders united and working together to strengthen governance, our Eagle Kingdom has become an impregnable force that will not be easily shaken."
"Moreover, in terms of sheer strength, no one in the entire world can rival you. Once our Eagle Kingdom is stable, we can then target the most peripheral tribes of the Beacon Fire Tribal Alliance."
"That's what the wise Smart said with confidence."
