Chapter 260: Elbaf Tribal Assembly
After getting used to his new weapon, Yuriel stood in front of Longinus again and invited, "Mighty warrior from the sea, let's continue the previous duel!" โ
"Of course, what do you want to compare?"
He asked this because Longinus knew from Jando that there were many kinds of giant competitions, weightlifting, swimming, archery, wrestling, and so on.
As for combat in the pure sense of the word, in the absence of foreign invasion, it is fought only under the most sacred rites.
They believe that the battle is sacred and cannot be desecrated, and once it has begun, it must not be stopped until the winner is decided.
"Then we're better than weightlifting...... Wrestling ...... "Seeing Longinus's height of less than his knees, Yuriel was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be called a mean giant.
"It's up to you to decide how you want to fight!"
Hearing the movement here, the surrounding giants also gathered together, and they all shouted excitedly.
"Than drinking bars...... It doesn't seem to work, Yuriel is still too dominant! โ
"It's better than running...... It doesn't seem to work, Yuriel can withstand him ten steps in one step! โ
"What about swimming?"
"Forget it, there are many dangerous sea kings in the sea!"
"It's terrible! Isn't there a reasonable way to due? โ
"No way. We giants are born warriors, and no matter how you choose, it's too unfair! โ
Longinus knew that these giants were not claiming to be powerful, but it still sounded slightly unpleasant!
"Don't bother, let's choose the easiest way to play - wrist wrestling!"
The giants were stunned for a moment, and soon burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Mighty warriors of the sea, don't you know that our giants are the most powerful race in the world? โ
"Yuriel's strength is even the strongest among us giants!"
They are not underestimating each other's strength, but because strength is the pride of giants.
Comparing strength with giants is as ridiculous as comparing swimming with fish people.
Longinus was not angry, but smiled indifferently, "Can you start?" โ
Yuriel also stopped laughing, and said, "Aren't you really going to do it another way?" โ
Longinus said meaningfully, "No, the result is the same." โ
"Yes! The result is the same! Yuriel smiled embarrassedly, and secretly wondered, is he a little too bullying?
"But how are we going to wrestle our wrists?" Yuriel asked with a difficult look comparing himself to his little arm.
"You lie down on the ground and straighten your arms."
"Oh, okay!" The big man nodded, obediently fell to the ground, stood his elbows on the ground, and struck a wrist-wrestling pose.
Longinus slowly stepped into the air and grabbed the giant's big hand.
"Wow! You can actually fly! Yuriel couldn't help but say enviously.
The surrounding giants also reacted similarly, and with the strength of the giants, it was not difficult to jump even tens or even hundreds of meters.
But Yuebu's delicate skills, which require extremely fast force, are really too difficult for them.
"Are you ready?"
"You have to be careful, don't get hurt!" Yuriel kindly reminded.
The giant who volunteered to be the referee on the side said, "I'll start when I count to three, you all listen carefully!" โ
"One...... Two...... Three...... Begin! โ
Rumble!
The giant's mighty arms were instantly pressed into the ground, leaving only a deep ravine.
Yuriel looked dazed, and this is the end?
He didn't even react!
Yuriel wanted to play another game, but the honor of the warrior made it impossible for him to do such a thing, so he had to say stupidly, "You won!" โ
At this time, the giants watching the battle also reacted.
"Yuriel was crushed by humans in terms of strength!"
"No wonder Jaindo would say that he is one of the most powerful warriors on the outside sea!"
"To be able to defeat Uriel with a fragile human body, he is definitely a true warrior worthy of admiration!"
They didn't suspect that it was Yuriel who underestimated the enemy or let him go, because that would be the greatest humiliation for a warrior.
"Mighty warrior Longinus, you have earned the respect of me, the giant Yuriel!" Yuriel said solemnly, "A warrior as strong as you deserves to win the flowers and honors that belong to heroes at the tribal assembly!" โ
Longinus landed unhurriedly, and for him, defeating a giant was really nothing to boast about.
But this clan assembly sounds a little interesting.
"Tribal assembly?" Jaindo exclaimed, "Is it time for the tribal assembly?" โ
"You guy, you forgot the time of the tribal assembly!" Yuriel said dissatisfiedly, "Although the royal court has replaced the position of lord, the tribal assembly has been inherited, and the day after tomorrow happens to be the day when the tribal assembly opens!" โ
"The royal court? I've been hearing you talk about the royal court since just now, why haven't I ever heard of it? "Jaindo is slightly depressed, isn't he already a fake giant now?
"You don't know the royal court?" Yuriel was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Yes, the Giant Court was only established after the disaster more than forty years ago, and it's normal that you don't know." โ
"The catastrophe of forty years ago?" Longinus muttered to himself, "Referring to BIGยท DID MOM GO CRAZY THAT TIME? โ
"It was because of that turn of events that the lord tribe of Elbaf moved towards the centralization of royal power?"
In fact, he had heard Jaindo mention that Elbaf's social system roughly consisted of three classes: lords, warriors, and free men.
The most powerful of them all, the Great Lord, can also be regarded as the nominal king.
It's just that it's not so easy to go from being a nominal king to being a real king.
In Longinus's view, it took decades for the headquarters and the government to open up Elbaf's channel, perhaps because Elbaf has been in the midst of separate wars for many years.
It is only in recent years that they have really completed their unification and have begun to look to the outside world.
"Thinking about it this way, it's not so unacceptable that the headquarters will get in touch with Elbaf." Longinus asked as he groaned.
"Lieutenant General Jaindo, what are the tribal assemblies you mentioned?"
"The Tribal Assembly is a meeting where the major tribes come together to settle matters and disputes, but it is also the biggest tournament and trade day in Elbaf." Jaindo said with a look of remembrance.
"Now that the royal court has abolished the status of tribal chieftains, this tribal assembly should only retain the functions of competition and trade."
"Major General Longinus, this is an opportunity for us...... "Jaindo whispered, "Elbaf admires the strong and the hero, and the best way to make the conscription go smoothly is to promote force at this conference." โ
"If we can win the conference, this mission will be successfully completed soon!"
