Chapter 2858: Chapter 953: Wise Wolf’s Blueprint for the Future · Nash’s New Mission (Part 2)

"I already have a preliminary idea, but I still want to hear your opinion. After all, this is my first time doing something this big, and I’m quite uneasy."

"But you have already taken action, Nash. Although you are not completely assured of victory, you have already embarked on execution. This means you have made your own decision on these matters."

Hog praised him and then asked:

"What you need is not my opinion but my endorsement and encouragement. You still lack some confidence, it seems the internal affairs of the Bloodclaw Clan have put you under a lot of pressure and shaken your confidence, right?"

"I won’t hide it from you."

Nash immediately began to pour out his troubles, and he complained:

"Martel and Van Gore have been leading the Barbarian Soldiers and hunters to assist the Avalon Believers in hunting those marauders. They always return victorious, and although the clan members have been educated, they still worship the strong. Each victory sparks ambition in those two."

They’ve begun to openly and secretly challenge my authority as the Chieftain.

Fortunately, Old Gold Tooth is still reliable. He and his Gnolls firmly stand by my side, but I’m afraid if things continue, the clan you left with me will split.

We now have a strong claim to the entire Polluted Swamp, such a large territory can support many clans.

I guess Martel and Van Gore have this idea too. They can’t shake off their inherently flawed nature, wanting to break away from the Bloodclaw Clan and establish their own merits. They’re unwilling to submit to someone small like me, only thinking of being addressed as Chieftain by others.

Sorry, Chieftain Hog.

I don’t have your kind of prestige. I can’t suppress them nor bear to get rid of them. Perhaps I’m not cut out to be a Chieftain; maybe verifying your career plan to become a priest of the creator suits me better."

"But you do not truly believe in the creator’s doctrine from the bottom of your heart."

Hog sighed and said:

"You are indeed somewhat indecisive, Nash, but that’s not a big problem. You want to know how to lead the Bloodclaw Clan into the future; you’re very bewildered, and that’s all normal. I’ll take some time to describe to you my vision for the future of the Wolf People."

I surely cannot return to the Smugglers’ Forest.

I will stay on this creation plain molded by Sir Murphy’s great power borrowed from the creator, leading the Guardians of Creation to establish the first city of the Wolf People here, with the help of the Broken Tooth and Whip-tail Clans. This is destined to be a long and drawn-out process.

Even on the day I die of old age, I may not truly witness our kingdom integrated within the continent, but the most difficult stage has already been crossed, Nash. The Master of Hunting is dead, and our clansmen will eventually return to the true faith of the creator, welcoming a future that descends upon them with a brand-new appearance.

So, what responsibility does the Bloodclaw Clan bear within such a framework?

You are located in an enclave far from the Kingdom of Jackal people, relying on the mercy of Transylvania for your existence, while shouldering the duty of guarding the Ancestral land for the Wolf People civilization. Therefore, if you can discern the future position of the Bloodclaw Clan within the kingdom, you will know how to lead your clan next.

So answer me, Nash. What do you think you and the Bloodclaw Clan can do for our kingdom and civilization in the future?"

"Hmm..."

Nash pondered deeply, but such a question that could stump 90% of the Wolf People did not defeat him. After seconds of thinking and organizing his words, he said:

"Diplomacy? As you said, our kingdom is located in the Dark Mountain Range, far from the civilizational center of the continent; however, the Bloodclaw Clan is close to Transylvania, making us the representatives of the Kingdom of Jackal people on the continent."

We must always closely follow in Sir Murphy’s footsteps, but we also must shoulder the responsibility of speaking for the Kingdom of Jackal people...

Ah, I understand!

I understand what you mean.

Once I return, I will let Martel and Van Gore take the clansmen willing to follow them and leave, granting them the title of defending the Ancestral land of the swamp, allowing them to vie for control within the Polluted Swamp against the Goat Man’s settlement. Regarding the Bloodclaw Clan...

We don’t need any military force to assert our presence.

In the future, we will become the ’ambassadors’ of the Kingdom of Jackal people; this is the Bloodclaw Clan’s diplomatic mission! To be a window for external contact, displaying the most dignified and progressive side of the Wolf People civilization to those observing us.

And I... I will be honored to become the Wise Wolf Lord’s eyes and voice, conveying the will you represent of the Kingdom of Jackal people to those Kings and Lords."

"Very good, it looks like you truly understand."

Hog said with satisfaction:

"The name ’Smugglers’ Forest’ should no longer be used. Discuss with Governor Milian to decide a new name that suits our characteristics. Of course, you cannot visit the Crimson Regent as the Chieftain of the Bloodclaw Clan."

"As a cultural ambassador of the Kingdom of Jackal people!"

Nash said loudly:

"At least to obtain an official position from Miss Milian and solicit the Stonemason Association to create the first embassy of our kingdom in a true sense in Crimson Castle.

This is only the first step!

Eventually, one day, the embassies of the Kingdom of Jackal people will also appear in Mist City and North Wind Castle, even in faraway Tiandu and Ptolemaic Royal City."

"Very good, very good, look, both your and the clan’s futures are clear now, Nash, you really are a promising material."
