Chapter 1254: Behind Metztil's Back

"Mother! Are we going to give up just like that?" 

As Tepin left the chief's hut with an unwilling gait, he asked this with the most bitter tone he could muster.

It was clear not only was he very unsatisfied with how the meeting had ended, but seemed to also reproach his mother for not trying hard enough.

After Atzi had made the proposal to take the entire offered area for themselves, the rest of the neutral nobles almost instantly agreed, voicing their agreement with great alacrity, 

"The chief shaman said it right! We Helvati are the biggest and strongest tribe! Why should we bother to ask for help from others? Since they don't wish to help us, we will do it without them, haha… ha."

Atzi only needed to show the barest proof of feasibility for these men to jump blindly at the idea, boisterously supporting their chief.

All because of one thing- Greed!

It was a terrible avarice that could make men lose all their faculties.
