New Age Of Summoners

Chapter 857: Frey's dominance

Frey lost in his thoughts to notice the signalling among some elders.

Nevertheless, after getting the reply from his tribe elders, Frey continued to explain, "Earlier, they asked us to be careful for the next one month; however, within an hour, the order changed into a rewarding mission. So, I feel there is something fishy about it."

"Last time also, you stopped us from one of the rewarding missions and because of that, the other fox tribes has caught up to us."

As soon as Frey finished his words, all the elders remained silent for a moment before one of the elders countered Frey's word with a scoff.

"Tribe leader, stop being paranoid for nothing."

"Why will the summoner's group try to harm us?"

"If any of our rival tribes become stronger after this mission, the fall of our tribe will be because of your poor decision."

As soon as the first elder of the grey-furred fox tribe spoke, some other elders supported the first elder and said a few more things which made Frey and the rest of the elders' frown at those words.

'Are they planning to rebel?'

'The first elder has always eyed the tribe leader's position and gathered some supporters for a moment like this. I think there will be a fight for the tribe leader position today.'

'What do you think? Who are you going to support?'

'Who? Of course, the one who is going to win.'

Soon, the other elders stopped frowning as they guessed what was going on and started discussing each other.

In the fox tribes, it is a tradition that the first elder can always challenge the tribe leader for the tribe leader position and as long as he wins, the entire tribe will accept the winner as their leader.

So, no elder bothered to pick a side and waited until the first elder issued a challenge to the tribe leader.

Also, there was another thing. Because of the rapid grooming of the 28 fox tribes, their intelligence is not better than a 15 year old human. As long as there was a reward in front of them, they would not think much about anything except for the reward.

However, Frey was a little different from other fox tribesmen. Even though he was not too intelligent, he could sense when there was something wrong and since he is the tribe leader of the grey-furred fox tribe, he had to protect them with his life.

As for the first elder of the tribe, who was eyeing the position of the tribe leader, he started his rebellion right now because he felt what Frey had done dissatisfied many tribesmen which included some elders.

So, he thought it was the right time to execute his plan.

"Are you challenging me to a duel?"

The frown on Frey's face disappeared as he stood up from his chair and asked the first elder with a slight smile on his face.

There was nothing wrong in challenging the tribe leader; however, the intentions of the challenger should be good for the tribe.

However, Frey could guess that his first elder only wants power rather than the safety of the tribe.

"Instead of having a cowardly tribe leader, I want a brave tribe leader who never fears anything."

As for the first elder, he didn't answer Frey directly; instead, he said that Frey was a cowardly tribe leader whereas he would be a brave one.

"Stop the nonsense. If not for my intuition, our grey-furred tribe would have long disappeared from the face of this five elemental world."

Frey became a little serious after hearing those words and replied to the first elder that made the elder a little shivered.

"Anyway, if you want a challenge, just say it. No need to act all righteous in front of others because everyone knows what kind of person you are."

Controlling his anger, Frey asked whether he wanted to challenge him or not.

"..."

When the first elder saw Frey's face, for some reason, he felt a bad premonition in his heart and remained silent for a second.

"If you are not challenging me, just step aside and keep your mouth shut."

Frey scoffed at the first elders and looked at the other elders and asked, "If anyone thinks my decision is wrong, you can prove me by winning against me in a challenge; otherwise, just keep your mouth shut.'

Until now, Frey thought he should not show his tyranny towards his own tribe members; however, today, he felt why the tribe leaders of the old three fox tribes were very cruel towards their tribe members.

'Looks like I need to keep my tribe members in their place.'

With a scoff at all the elders of his tribe, Frey went back into his room leaving the silent elders.

...

"What happened to you, First Elder?"

"Aren't you supposed to challenge him?"

"Don't tell me you were not confident in winning against him."

As soon as Frey left the meeting hall, the elders who were close to the first elder asked with frustrated looks on their faces.

"I think it is not the right time to challenge him."

Even though the first elder was scared to challenge, he didn't agree to it in front of everyone because his followers would lose faith in him if he said that.

So, he acted like 'It's not the right time, let's deal with it some other time' and walked away from the meeting hall.

"As you say, first elder."

Even though everyone felt something was not right with the first elders, they were not brave enough to say it in front of him.

Soon, everyone left the room leaving an empty meeting hall behind.

...

Inside the firebase.

"Everyone, how are you doing?"

A middle-aged man entered the control chamber and asked the few young men working on the monitor the various regions in various worlds.

"We are good, Deputy leader."

Everyone replied with respectful looks on their face when they saw the middle-aged man in the red robes.

After the death of Master Red, this middle-aged man became the temporary leader of the firebase.

However, he was nowhere near Master Red's cultivation. He is just a peak level 10 elite general realm cultivator with a level 5 cultivator's law.

"Huh? Why is no one monitoring this screen?"

Earlier the young man watching the five elemental world took a break because he could not watch the massacre that was about to happen in the Shixato wilds.

So, currently, the seat in front of the screen was empty. So, he walked towards the screen and started checking what was happening on it.

"Deputy leader, I just sent an order to our fox tribes in the Wester fox lands before taking a small break."

The young man from earlier hurriedly entered the control chamber and replied to the middle-aged man.

"Give me a glimpse of what happened in the five elemental world after the death of Master Red."

However, the middle-aged man didn't get up from his seat and asked the young man to give a glimpse.

"Deputy leader, the thing is…."

Soon, the young man explained everything to the middle-aged man.

"Interesting."
