?Doro stared at Dorack for a long time, as if trying to see through what Dorack was thinking.
Finally, Doro nodded and said: “Good! Then tomorrow morning, you must give me the answer.”
Dorack nodded confidently. He suddenly said: “However, I have one condition.”
“Hm?! What do you want? Doro asked cautiously.
Dorack just shook his head and smiled: “I don’t want anything; I just want that… If I successfully create something that can block arrows and be used in combat, then I want those who have lost faith in God to get out of our village.”
“What?!” Hearing that, the crowd quickly spoke up.
“Dorack, do you know what you’re talking about?”
“That’s right. Who do you think you are?”
“I admit that you are a talented hunter and a recipient of God’s knowledge, but that is no reason for you to be arrogant.”
“Dorack, quickly apologise to everyone.”
“Kneel down and apologise to everyone.”
“That’s right. Dorack, you are too arrogant; do you think you are the village chief?”
“Silence!” Doro frowned and shouted, and everyone fell silent.
However, at this time, a person walked up to Doro, bowed his head, and said: “Village chief, I think we should chase Dorack away; he is too arrogant. He blindly believed in the God who left us and now he wants to chase the people in the village away.”
“I feel that he doesn’t deserve to be in this village, he doesn’t deserve to be one of the members of this tribe.”
Doro and Dorack heard that and frowned at the young man speaking.
“Doac, are you telling the truth?” Doro frowned and said: “Do you really want me to kick Dorack out of the village? You should know, he knows how to create something that can withstand arrows and help us defeat the tribe that is chasing us out there.”
“Huh!” Doac smiled disdainfully: “Village chief, I feel that Dorack is lying. That weapon was taken from the battlefield of the gods; nothing can stop the weapons of the gods.”
“Chief Doro, do you think a piece of wood can stop a god’s weapon?”
“What do you mean…” Doro frowned and asked.
“My idea is very simple.” Doac continued: “The outside tribe actually doesn’t want to kill us either. As far as I can see, they are just like us, lacking resources.”
“That’s why we just need to give them our resources and women, and then we can continue to live peacefully for a long time.”
“Fool!” Dorack shouted: “Your actions are no different from those of cowards and fools.”
“Huh!” Doac also snorted in contempt: “Do you think you are smart and brave? Good! So go out and confront the gods’ weapons.”
“You were also one of the wounded; you ran away, leaving the others to die in the war. Are you a man?”
“I feel… you are the coward.”
“You…” Dorack gritted his teeth and wanted to say something when Doro’s words rang out again.
“Enough!” Doro looked at Dorack, then looked back at Doac: “Doac, you’re right.”
Hearing that, Doac smiled provocatively as he glanced at Dorack.
“However…” Doro continued: “We should also try a little. Let Dorack do his job, and by the next day, we will know clearly whether we can fight the tribe out there or not.”
“Okay, everyone go; everyone use water and food sparingly; don’t waste anything.”
Hearing that, everyone left. Doac frowned and looked at Doro, then looked at Dorack again and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Dorack walked in front of Doro and said in confusion: “Village chief, I think…”
Before Dorack could finish speaking, Doro reached out and stopped his words: “I know what you’re going to say. However, this is not the time for us to do that.”
“Doac is a cunning man; now he dares to openly confront us… That means there are many people in the tribe who want to betray us.”
“Fortunately, Doac and the traitors were not given God’s knowledge. However, he can also gain that knowledge through tricking others.”
“Dorack, tomorrow will be the day you test that thing; are you sure it can stop arrows?”
“I’m sure, Village Chief.” Dorack said confidently.
“Good… I trust you.” Doro nodded and said: “My challenge… is really not difficult. It’s just… thanks to this challenge, those who don’t want our tribe to grow will slowly appear.”
“Dorack… If those people were your close friends, would you be willing to kill them?”
“Village chief.” Dorack said with a voice and eyes filled with determination: “When God appeared, he gave me a second life thanks to his divine food. He also gave us knowledge that we would never have had.”
“I will forever trust and be loyal to God. If my friends, or even my wife, betray God, I will be the first to kill them.”
Hearing that, Doro nodded slightly: “Okay, I know your loyalty.”
“Dorack, we must feel lucky to have a God like this protecting us.”
“You also know how many gods we have worshipped; you also know how bloodthirsty and greedy they are.”
“It can be said that this is the kindest God we have ever met. We must seize this opportunity well; don’t let that group of traitors have a chance to rise up.”
“Dorack, tomorrow… all the faith and hope of this tribe will be placed in your will.”
“Village chief, don’t worry.” Dorack nodded and said: “I will definitely not fail. I prepared this many days ago, but this time… I promise there won’t be any mistakes.”
“Very good! You go first.”
“Yes.” Dorack nodded in response, then quickly left.
Doro looked at Dorack’s back and smiled with satisfaction: “Dorack, our God will be proud of you.”
…
The next morning, Lathel returned to the tribe to see how they would ultimately resolve the current problem.
If he said he wasn’t worried, he was lying. In fact, he was extremely worried; after all, this tribe was tied to whether he passed the test or not, so he came back to see what they would do.
In the morning, Doac went to Dorack’s wooden house and shouted loudly: “Dorack! Come here! How long are you planning to hide inside?”
“That’s right!” A group of young men following Doac also loudly scorned: “Are you planning to hide in the house forever?”
“Hahahaha… a coward leaving his friends behind to run away is just like that.”
“Coward, come out!”
“Come out here; if you don’t come out, I’ll burn your house down.”
BAM!
The door of Dorack’s wooden house was violently opened from the inside. Dorack slowly walked out, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked at Doac’s group.
“The sun just rose, but you guys are already bothering me. You guys really are jobless.”
“You…”
A young man tried to scold Dorack but was stopped by Doac.
Doac looked towards Dorack and smirked: “You speak very well, but… people who only know how to talk but can’t do anything are just cowards.”
“And our tribe is no place for cowards like you.”
“Ah! Are you talking about yourself, Doac?” Dorack smiled and replied: “You advocate surrendering and want to give all our resources to another tribe.”
“Fortunately, God did not give you knowledge, otherwise, I’m afraid… hahahaha… God’s knowledge would also be given to others by you because of your cowardice.”
“Dorack!” Doac was now so embarrassed and angry that his face turned red: “Don’t talk too much. You said that you have created something that can stop arrows; quickly prove it to me.”
“I don’t want to prove it to you, I just want to prove it to everyone in the tribe.” Dorack smiled contemptuously.
“Good! I’m waiting for you to prove it.” Doac laughed as he left with the five young men accompanying him.
Lathel saw this scene and suddenly became more worried. Even though he didn’t see what happened yesterday, he doubted that Doac was a good person.
No, to be more precise, he felt that Doac was a spy for another tribe or was bribed by another tribe.
Whatever the case, Lathel could guarantee that Doac wants to destroy this tribe.
A moment later, everyone in the tribe gathered at the cave leading outside.
Doro saw everyone gathered and shouted: “The cave is very small; everyone can’t go together. That is why we will send ten people to follow Dorack.”
“Of course, among those 10 people is Doac.”
Doro said while glancing towards Doac.
Hearing that, Doac nodded: “Thank you, Village Chief. I will definitely observe him closely so that he cannot cheat.”
“If he runs away, I will be the first to cut off his legs. I will drag him back to the tribe, expose him to the sun for ten days, and make him eat the dirtiest things.”
Hearing that, Doro did not respond but only announced to everyone: “Dorack, are you ready?”
Dorack smiled and began tying pieces of wood to his body like armour.
Lathel saw this scene and frowned because he had discovered something special.
However, Doro and Doac, along with everyone else, did not discover anything special. They only saw Dorack carrying ordinary pieces of wood.
Doac laughed loudly: “Hahahaha… Are you stupid? Do you think those useless pieces of wood can help you stop their arrows?”
Dorack glanced at Doac and said contemptuously: “So… what if I can do it?”
