Chapter 325 (1/2)
The two agreements, the first of which has been regarded as a public agreement, are proof of friendship to the heavy hammer, which is now the chief ataba of the heavy rock tribe; The other is a private and secret negotiation with the high priest of Chongyan, which is a guarantee for the development and prosperity of the whole tribe. Of course, the second secret agreement is a supplement and guarantee based on the first agreement, and as long as it is approved by the high priest, the heavy rock tribe is bound to Sean's chariot at this moment.
Here in the wilderness, the recognition of the high priest and the high witch priest is far more practical than that of the chief.
At present, the scale of Chongyan tribe is still small, and there is only a group of barbarians. When the scale expands, the family names of ethnic groups increase, or other ethnic groups begin to join, the tribe will begin to add a Presbyterian Council. Although the authority of the Presbyterian Council is not as good as that of the chieftain, the decision Presbyterian Council in the whole tribe also has the right to vote for and against. If the number of votes against is large, even the chieftain has to worry about the views of the Presbyterian Council.
At that time, the consent of high priest Chongyan will be extremely important.
However, once the tribe becomes strong, the position of high priest and high witch priest must be occupied by those who can. In this way, Ronan, who was trained by high priest Chongyan, has become an indispensable part of this plan.
A young and gifted great witch priest, I'm afraid no one can replace him in his lifetime.
After the secret agreement was finalized, the high priest left the tent. Cecilia wanted to stay here, but Sean didn't agree, so Cecilia had to leave with a look of resentment and go back to her tent to sleep.
The next day, the heavy hammer tribe's clean-up work was still going on in an orderly manner, but with the participation of bear people and northern barbarians, the work of cleaning up the ruins was obviously much faster. As for the teaching of Andre and Cecilia, I'm afraid it will take some time. According to the high priest of heavy rock, it must wait until the earth house is established. This kind of respect etiquette must not be abandoned.
Since even the high priest Chongyan said so, of course Sean and others would not object to anything.
So as soon as he got up the next day, Sean came to the east corner of the tribe.
Three prisoners are still imprisoned here.
Two lizards and a blood eyed goblin of pure blood.
At yesterday's dinner, Sean didn't treat them badly either. He still sent them a meal of meat. Of course, the amount can't be much more.
Today, when the three saw Sean, the hostility in their eyes disappeared a lot, but it was impossible to give Sean a good face. After all, all the three men died in Sean's hands. What are the specific rules of the goblin tribe? Sean is not very clear, but Sean knows the situation of the Rossi tribe. The situation of this tribe is a bit like those imperial families or royal families, which adopt the policy of stocking.
To put it simply, it is to give each of the clan disciples in the tribe some manpower, and then let them develop themselves. Only those who become the top group are qualified to compete for the qualification of tribal chiefs.
Like the two lizard men in front of us, they are obviously not respected clan disciples. Otherwise, they would not work together and only have 30 lizard men. Now that they have lost all their men, they have only two ways to go - either go back to the tribe and work for others, so they may have a chance to make a comeback in the future; Or you can only go back to the tribe to be an ordinary lizard man and give up the power to compete for the chief. Of course, you can't live too well. There are also a lot of work to do in the Rossi tribe.
After all, the Rossi tribe is a real second-class tribe, and there are far more than one witch sacrifice in the tribe.
Almost every powerful team of the Rossi tribe fighting abroad has at least one witch sacrifice, and some even have two or three witch sacrifices. These are the most powerful candidates for the next chief of the Rossi tribe. Even if this kind of lizard people are defeated and the whole army is almost destroyed, as long as they return to the tribe and call, countless Rossi lizard people will be willing to join their team.
It is precisely because of this that the stronger and higher the strength and status of the Rossi tribe lizards, once they fail, they are rarely likely to return to the tribe alive and start a team again. It is not the people who fight with him who are unwilling to let them go, but other Rossi lizards who are equally strong in competing for the position of chief will never watch their competitors get up again.
Due to such rules, the Rossi tribe can always maintain the most first-class high-end combat power level in the wilderness, which gives the outside world an illusion that the Rossi tribe is a Powerful Mercenary Army. Of course, the heavy hammer ataba said before that the lizards of the Rossi tribe were a gang of robbers and bandits. In fact, there are not many murders of employers, but in fact, all such acts are for one purpose, that is, the strength of their own forces in order to better compete for the position of chief.
But Sean was in a good mood and decided to give them a third way.
”If you are loyal to me, I will make you eligible to compete for tribal chiefs again.” Sean stood in front of the two lizards and said directly.
”It's impossible!” A lizard man spits out his snake like tongue, and his voice is a little hoarse and low, ”our warriors of Rossi tribe will never compromise with any foreign enemies! You'd better kill me! ”
Sean smiled, did not speak, but turned and looked at the lizard man on the right: ”what do you say?”
”How do you guarantee that we are eligible to re compete for tribal chiefs?” The lizard man doesn't sound as determined as his companions, but there are some signs of relaxation. ”Our Rossi tribe can't use other people as its men. If we want to have the qualification to compete for chief, we must use the lizard man race, which we call the purity of blood.”
”I know.” Sean sat on the ground and didn't seem to mind the mess on the ground at all.
There is also an explicit provision in the chieftain competition of the Rossi tribe, that is, all the soldiers under the tribe who intend to compete for the chieftain position must be lizards. Once people of other races become soldiers under their own command, it is tantamount to renouncing the qualification of the chieftain competition. However, although the rules say so, there are a lot of black box operations, because the rules say that as long as lizards become soldiers under their command, they do not prevent these candidates from accepting the help of foreign groups.
”I happen to have a group of lizards under my command. Although the number is small, I believe it is still very guaranteed in terms of combat effectiveness.” Sean nodded.
Among the slaves Vivian gave Sean, there were hundreds of lizards. It is said that they came from three different tribes. Their combat effectiveness is very good. Now they have walked around in the hands of William and Alfred, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not low. If the two lizards are willing to accept Sean's conditions, Sean doesn't mind giving the two lizards more benefits, such as a complete set of armaments, and even allowing them to participate in the lectures of Cecilia and Andre.
All these benefits are obvious to the eye.
”Do you have our kind under your command?” The lizard man with a low voice on the left showed disdain in his eyes, ”it must be the slaves captured by you humans!”
”Indeed.” Sean didn't deny it, because it was true, ”but what does it matter? I did not treat them badly, but treated them equally. I can treat you as long as you like. Of course, the premise is that you can get results I never need any useless people under my command, so I must say something ahead. Even if you are loyal to me, you should also show your due achievements. Otherwise, I have enough people to replace you. ”
”Hum, it's impossible for me to betray the tribe!” The lizard man didn't want to think about it. He immediately roared angrily. If his hands and feet weren't tied at the moment and there were two bear people next to him, I'm afraid he really wanted to kill Sean here.
”Your companion doesn't seem willing. What do you think?” Sean turned his head and looked at another lizard man.
In his opinion, the lizard man on the left is really stubborn, but it's just because both sides have different positions. In fact, Sean doesn't hate such a person. On the contrary, although the lizard man on the right is likely to choose to surrender and become his own command, Sean dare not take it too lightly. After all, if such a person can betray the first time, he will betray the second and third time.
However, as long as the other party has enough ability, Sean can also accept and appoint, because just like a sentence Andrew mentioned when talking with Andrew before: ”so don't you just give the other party a chance to betray yourself?”
When he first heard this, Sean didn't particularly understand it, or even lost it. However, as he left the territory and went to the wilderness, Sean began to understand and feel the weight of this sentence. Since he wants to bring the two lizards under his command and become his people, he doesn't need to be afraid of their betrayal. As long as he can always show the strong strength like defeating them at the beginning, it's enough to make them loyal.
”May I ask you a question?” The lizard man on the right didn't answer Sean immediately, but asked after a moment of meditation.
”What's the problem?”
”Help me continue to participate in the chieftain competition, and even make me a chieftain...” the lizard man said, ”am I right? You are obviously not satisfied with just competing for the position of chief. According to the tone and attitude you just spoke, you obviously want me to become the chief of Rossi tribe, right? ”
Sean smiled and nodded. The lizard man was really rational, not only rational, but also very smart.
The dog head man inherited the dragon's greed, the lizard man inherited the dragon's wisdom, and the half dragon man inherited the dragon's wildness. These three words are true.
After getting Sean's confirmation in person, the lizard man finally continued to speak again: ”in that case, why do you want to get the Rossi tribe Your understanding of the wild land is obviously not as one-sided and narrow as that of ordinary outsiders. You even know the competition ceremony of the Rossi tribe of ”purity of blood”, and the barbarian who is now probably the chief also calls you a great guest - Oh, I don't mean to eavesdrop, but the Barbarian's loud voice, I'm sure you know very well... ”
The smile on Sean's face was more obvious. The clever lizard man not only changed his language and gas, but also changed his address and attitude.
”Big guest, it's not a statement that a mere fifth class tribe can use. It proves that you are at least a guest of a first class tribe, so I don't believe what you said to the barbarian.” The lizard man's eyes twinkle with a strange light, which is very common. Almost everyone who believes in his words will have this look, ”at least a large part of me don't believe it, because there is no free food in the world.”
The lizard man on the left now looked at his companion with a surprised face, as if he had known his companion for the first time. Moreover, not only the lizard man, but also the blood eyed goblin who was kept in another cage was surprised. Although many contents were not necessarily understood by the goblin's poor IQ, the goblin was still very clear about words such as ”big guest”, ”chief”, ”blood ritual” and so on.
”What's your name?”
”Kruma.” The lizard man replied, ”kruma from the adhoff clan of the Rossi tribe.”
Clan is a name similar to the surname of the orc, but it is actually a little different from human beings. For example, the term ”clan” in human society has not been used now, but the term ”family” has been used instead. Originally, it still refers to blood relationship, but the clan should be more in-depth and pure, because it refers to blood relationship, not simple blood relationship.
For example, in human society, when a woman marries another man, although she will call the lady by her husband's family name, the lady still has her own maternal family name. But in the western continent or wild land, if a woman marries another man, she can no longer keep her surname, but has to change her surname with her husband. Even in the future, if there is a war between the husband's clan and the woman's clan, the woman will choose to help her husband's clan rather than her mother's clan.
This is the clan and one of the important rules for the survival of tribes in the wilderness.
At present, the heavy rock tribe is a separate barbarian tribe. All of them come from the same clan. If another barbarian tribe also joins the heavy rock tribe later, although the tribe is still called the heavy rock tribe, in fact, there are two clans jointly safeguarding the glory of the tribe. Similarly, if other races join the heavy rock tribe, they will also bring one or more new clans.
The lizard man said he was kruma from the adhoff clan, which proved that the Rossi tribe was at least one tribe with more than two clans.
”Kruma.” Sean nodded, ”OK, I see Your question is why I want the Rossi tribe? ”
”Yes.” Kruma nodded. ”In a strict sense, since you know so much about the wilderness, you should know that even if you let me become the chief of the Rossi tribe, I don't have deep control over the clans under my command, because the Rossi tribe has been developing like this for hundreds of years, So I can't and can't change the way of life of the Rossi tribe In that case, why do you want the Rossi tribe? ”
”Allies.” Sean smiled. ”Of course, you should understand that umbrella, soldiers, collaborators or anything else is as happy as you like. Anyway, the meaning is almost that.”
Hearing this, not to mention another lizard man and goblin, even kruma looked puzzled.
”I can't understand.” Kruma shook her head. ”With your strength, you can even give me enough troops to participate in the chieftain competition. I'm afraid I should be a strong man with a strong background and strength. In that case, what you call alliance and cooperation is something I can't understand Or, we here, you are called the wild land For example, there should be no possibility of cooperation between us in the wilderness and your outsiders. As for the umbrella, I can't understand it. If even your excellency needs protection, I don't think the Rossi tribe can provide you with any protection. ”
”No, you misunderstood.” Sean shook his head. ”What you need to protect is not me, but the heavy rock tribe.”
”This barbarian tribe?”
”Yes.” Sean continued, ”the rise of the heavy rock tribe is unstoppable, because I have reached an agreement with the chief and high priest of the tribe, and I will even lend some of my troops to them to help them expand.”
At this, kruma's eyes lit up again.
But Sean did not finish his words: ”in this process, the heavy rock tribe will certainly become the target of attack. Relying solely on the current situation of the heavy rock tribe, it will certainly not be able to survive this development period, so I need you. As long as you join, it seems that the heavy rock tribe hired you. Therefore, no matter what kind of ethnic soldiers appear under your command at this stage, it will not affect your chief competition. Even in this process, I will discuss with the heavy rock tribe to choose the lizard tribe to attack as much as possible, and you can also benefit from it, Anyway, as long as the lizard man becomes your soldier, it doesn't have to be the lizard man of the Rossi tribe, right? ”
Kruma thought it over carefully and then said, ”so actually, helping us become the chief of the Rossi tribe is just a follow-up reward in this plan Although we are loyal to you, in fact, our relationship is a partner's relationship? ”
”You can understand that.” Sean smiled, ”but if you are willing to really become your subordinates, you will find that becoming a tribal chief is nothing at all, especially the Rossi tribe, which can't feel the real desire for control How about it? Would you like to think about it? ”
”Don't think about it!” The lizard man on the left couldn't wait to speak again, ”I won't promise anything you say! You are tempting us to fall, and we will be despised by the Dragon God! You die of this heart, human! ”
”I promise you.” The shrewd kruma was not as impatient as his companions, but said after a moment of meditation.
