Lord of War

v3 Chapter 254: .Alliance

The Wild Winter Tribe is a newly promoted first-class tribe, so its territory is naturally at the most marginal position of the Wild Council. It is naturally incomparable with those powerful first-class tribes that have hundreds or even thousands of years of age. . However, because the Wild Winter Tribe is a newly promoted first-class tribe, even though it is on the fringe, the area directly under its jurisdiction is not small, which is slightly larger than that of Sean's Void Principality.

  The method of dividing the territories of the wild land, Sean has not participated in the transparent white.

Generally speaking, the third-class and fourth-class tribes are attached to the second-class seats, and their tribal territories are divided by the second-class tribes. This is a bit like the Void Duchy to the Kingdom of Lane: Void Although the principality has independent management of the territory, the land of the principality still belongs to the Kingdom of Lane in name.

However, after being promoted from a second-class tribe to a first-class tribe, the entire tribe will migrate to live in the territory designated by the Wild Council, and the third and fourth-class tribes that originally attached to it will also be re-vassed. In other second-class tribes. Of course, this newly promoted first-class tribe can also appoint one of the tribes to be promoted to a second-class tribe and take over this territory.

However, because of the special circumstances of the Winter Tribe, when they were promoted to the first-class tribe, the third and fourth-class tribes that were originally attached to the Man King tribe and the Bitter Winter tribe also broke away and re-selected a new second-class tribe. Attached. In this way, the merged Mandong tribe has become a lonely family, and there is not even a fourth-class vassal tribe, let alone second- and third-class tribes.

  However, these are not problems for Ashe and Teddamir.

  Because of the advantage of time, they are on their side.

  The three seats of the Presbyterian Church, the chief elder is a sanctuary powerhouse who was born in the Barbarian King tribe and is about fifty years old. Of course, the actual age is definitely more than that. At least two or three hundred years old. However, the sanctuary powerhouse can live for five to six hundred years, so this age is still in the category of "young". From the perspective of the comparative definition of age and strength, the chief elder is also a standard of genius. .

  The second elder of the Winter Tribe is Sejuani, who was born in the Winter Tribe. That is Ashe's younger sister. Only thirty years old this year. But at the age of thirty, she is already a powerhouse at the pinnacle of the middle sanctuary, especially since she also has a mutated iron-skinned violent mountain pig-this is a genuine eighth-level beast. Sejuani used a fifth-level monster. The Warcraft was cultivated through hard work. So in terms of combat power alone, she is not under Teddamir and Ashe, and it is said that she has been suppressing her own strength in order to better attack the legendary realm, otherwise she is now a high-level sanctuary.

  As for the three elders, he is an old man from the Barbarian King tribe. It is also the witch sacrifice of the Mandong tribe. He is a three-hundred-year-old man. In terms of personal combat power, he is a bit inferior, but as a former leader and instructor of the Barbarian King tribe, his knowledge is very profound, and he is also proficient in witchcraft and totemism, and has deep attainments in herbal medicine and anthropology. , Can be regarded as an important figure in the tribe second only to the Great Witch Festival and Youzhang.

  Among them, Sejuani is naturally the one who is a genius. He is a strong man in the sanctuary at a young age. Moreover, she is also the second elder, not to mention that she is the commander of the Wild Winter Guard-the former Winter Guard. This shows how high his talent is. In the entire Wild Winter tribe, Sejuani is the fourth person in power after Teddamir, Ashe and the three-hundred-year-old witch sacrifice, and even higher than the chief elder.

  So, Sean actually couldn't understand why the chief elder was here.

  Nine of the twelve low-ranking sanctuary powerhouses under the Presbyterian Church are from the Barbarian King tribe, and only three are from the Winter Tribe. This shows how impoverished the Bitter Winter Tribe is. If it weren’t for Sejuani and Ash, the Bitter Winter Tribe would eventually be exiled to a marginal position and become a small tribe like the Chongyan Tribe. It's just a matter of time.

  But there are advantages and disadvantages.

Although there are many strong men in the   Man King tribe, they are basically people over two hundred years old, and there are even two or three people who have reached the end of their lives. On the other hand, the Winter Tribe, although it has risen all the way from the fourth-class tribe, it has no background and tyrannical combat power, but the sanctuary powerhouses of this tribe are generally very young. Not to mention that Ash is only thirty-four years old this year, and Sejuani is only thirty years old. Even the other three powerhouses in the lower sanctuary are all around a hundred years old.

  It can be said that the people of the Bitter Winter Tribe are a group of very outstanding geniuses.

  One of the most important things for Sean to pay attention to is a man named Olaf. His usual weapon is two battle axes, but the aura that exudes from his body is particularly awe-inspiring and cold. He is obviously the kind of ruthless person who has walked through countless **** killings, if it is judged by ordinary lower-level sanctuary powerhouses. , I'm afraid he will surprise many people. However, although he claimed to the outside world that he was a hundred years old, in fact, Sean estimated that this person would not be over fifty years old, and he was considered a very young genius.

  The wild land is a carefree paradise. But since being circled as a backyard of slaves by the surrounding human nations, the cruelty and bloodiness of the war has quickly baptized the races on this land, and their growth rate is really amazing.

This aspect of course is related to the purity of the blood of their ethnic group. After all, people in the wild land have the purest blood ancestors, and because they refuse to communicate with the outside world, they only marry inside the wild land, so the blood It still maintains a relatively high degree of purity. On the other hand, war has always been the best way to grow. Especially the high-pressure war strategy of the surrounding human nations has forced the people here to continue to grow, almost without stopping, so it is normal that geniuses are easy to be born. matter.

  This is naturally the reason why Sean values ​​the Wildlands and wants to form an alliance with the tribes of the Wildlands.

  Ashe, in fact, it is the Winter Tribe who really decides the tribe’s direction. Teddamir is a unitary leader in name, but in fact he is a reckless martial artist. His combat effectiveness is undoubtedly strong, but he wants to lead the development of the tribe, but it is very difficult for him.

  It is precisely because of this that Ashe heard Sean directly say the words of the alliance, she stood still on the spot. But she is not a novice. Immediately invited Sean and others back to the tribe. Things like this were really not suitable for a long talk outside. You had to return to the Winter Tribe to open the quiet room to be able to talk in detail. Even Sejuani and the other were both negative. The elders of the witch sacrificial position are also invited.

  At this time, Xiao En and others were seated on two sides of the quiet room of the Mandong tribe.

  This quiet room. It's a place similar to the chamber that Shaun set up in the Lord's Mansion. It's just that the conference hall is screened with a magic array. As long as the door of the room is closed, no one outside will know even if there is a fight in the room. And this quiet room uses the technique of totem formation and witchcraft, which is similar to the crude version of alchemy, but it is somewhat similar to the magic array.

  Cecilia, at this time, was fully observing the layout of this quiet room.

  Ten two-meter-high wooden pillars were carved with different textures and patterns, and then distributed around the quiet room. Xiao En and others sat in the arena circled by this totem pole. At this time, each totem pole emits a soft white light. When the white light turned on, Xiao En and others noticed that there were some weird little bugs on these totem poles. These little bugs were all black, but the size of a fingernail.

"These are sound-eating bugs. They are very sensitive to sounds. In some cases, they will emit a force field that isolates sounds." It seems that seeing Cecilia interested in these things, the witch Jisan The elder explained, "And these are vacuum totems. A special sound field can be created artificially, and the sound worm and the vacuum totem can be combined. It can ensure that the voice of our conversation in this field will not be transmitted."

   Hearing the explanation of the witch priest, Cecilia had a bright feeling: "It's really exquisite."

"Each has its own way of survival and study." The witch sacrifice, who looked like an old man, said with a smile, "Witchcraft can also be formed out of arcane art, and it is considered at its source. An extended change, incomparable to magic. But since witchcraft can be passed down for such a long time, there must be a reason for its existence. Totem Array is born out of the magic circle, and from the root, it has a deeper relationship with magic. ..."

"Let's talk about business." It seems that seeing the elder witch sacrificial talking openly, he was in a position to talk about magic, arcane, witchcraft and other concepts, and Ashe had to interrupt this first. An elder witch priest said, "May I ask, Why does Lord Sean want to form an alliance with us?"

  The current boundary of the Void Principality firmly holds the entire rift valley, which is tantamount to cutting off the path of the entire Kingdom of Lane into the wild land. However, the Kingdom of Lane did not start from the slave trade, so this road was blocked. Although many old Darbys did not like it, after all, Sean was a great prince of the country, so this road was not opened. What people can say.

  But in the same way, the territory around the Void Principality is all the aristocratic territory belonging to Lane. After all, the Kingdom of Lane is not a country with a federal formal system, so even if there are internal conflicts, it is basically a battle of looting, unless it involves a deadly battle such as blood feuds, it is possible to cede the land for compensation. Therefore, if Sean is ambitious and wants to continue to expand the territory of the Void Principality, then he can go deep into the Wildlands.

  As we all know, Sean won the Great Rift Valley in the first and last snake route established by the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance many years ago. Based on the force shown by the Void Principality against the Kingdom of Darbion and later in the hinterland of Lane, with the Great Rift Valley as the front line base, following the historical steps of the Void Principality as a tactical strategy, all areas outside the deep hinterland of the Wildlands are It is impossible to stop the advance of the Void Principality.

  This kind of strategic advancement can indeed only be achieved by the Void Principality.

  After all, unless it is the Kingdom of Line who wants to suppress the Void Principality, otherwise, if you use the nobles around the Void Principality, they would like to see Sean let them fart as a fart, and that would endanger the rear of the Void Principality. As for other neighboring human nations, it is also impossible to follow suit, because the neighboring countries around them will not give them this kind of stable development strategy. This is why the surrounding countries all regard the wild land as a place for military training. But never thought of the reason for the complete occupation.

  And all of this is based on Sean’s independent development.

  If Sean wants to form an alliance with the tribes of the Wildlands, then his plan must be large, and it is even possible to hit the core area of ​​the Wildlands all the way. On this basis, any tribe allied with Sean is bound to be called a traitor. This name may be very unpleasant, but if there are certain great interests, many tribes will inevitably be willing to cooperate with Sean.

This. It is the so-called general trend.

Since Deadthorn spreads stories about Shaun in the Wildlands, the Wild Council has actually treated Shaun and his Void Principality as a powerful kingdom to prevent and treat-if the Void Principality is really regarded as a principality. , Then this person is either a fool or a proud existence like the Seven Empires. Although the Wild Council can coordinate and order all the tribes in the entire Wild Land to fight together, but their family knows their own affairs, they are just a system similar to the federal form. But you don't really think that you have the ability to be side by side with the seven empires.

therefore. If Sean's visit falls into the seriousness of the caring person and spreads out, the situation of the Wild Winter tribe will also be very dangerous.

   is not embarrassing, it is really dangerous.

  So Xiao En was looking for the real reason for the alliance with the Mandong tribe, and Ashe was worried. Because if they really want to develop into the barren land, then they must immediately inform the barbaric council to make a complete defense. As for forcibly leaving Sean and others behind, Ash would not be so stupid. Because the strength of Xiao En and others are not weak. Now it is in the Wild Winter tribe, and if you are a strong action player, it will only be the Wild Winter tribe that will suffer heavy losses.

  Furthermore, if they kill Shaun, then who knows that the Void Lords Congress will not really kill it with all the power of the country. If so, under pressure, the Wild Winter Tribe would definitely be sacrificed by the Wild Council to appease the anger of the Void Principality.

  So after entering the Mandong tribe, Ashe and others really wanted to keep Sean’s safety.

   "I have no intention to develop further into the wild." And Sean. After hearing Ashe's urgent question, he knew what the woman was thinking. "Or, I am a person who hates slavery.... I believe you should also know that although I bought a large number of slaves through the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, I actually gave them the status of civilians and did not give them the status of a civilian. All are slaves and cannon fodder. I believe you should be able to see this from my steel wings."

  Hearing what Shaun said, Ashe and others also nodded slightly.

  It’s no secret that the iron wings are made up of northern barbarians. Even after the steel wings became famous, many nobles and even countries began to follow suit, which caused the slave prices of the northern barbarians to rise steadily. But it is a pity that no lord or country can train the northern barbarians to be like steel wings, at best the level of a second-level army, and the training time is too long, it is completely an action that does not pay for it.

  In this regard, many lords and countries have sent spies to try to find out the secret of Shaun’s training of steel wings.

  But it is a pity that the Void Realm is not vegetarian.

"So, may I ask, what is the meaning of the alliance?" Ashe heard Shaun's words, he thought a little, and then asked, "Since Master Shaun, you don't plan to go deep into the wilderness, now In your case, there is no need to form an alliance with us at all."

"No, it is really necessary to form an alliance." Xiao En said in a deep voice, "In fact, I want to form an alliance, not only your Winter Tribe family, but all the tribes of the entire Wild Land.... Of course, I know. This is probably a wishful thinking. After all, there are many tribes in the Barren Lands that are completely deadly feuds with outside countries. It is impossible to talk about it together, but if possible, I still hope to be able to form alliances with more tribes. "

   "Why?" Ashe asked.

   "If I say, I am for the permanent peace of the wild land, do you believe it?" Sean smiled, and then asked back.

"To be honest, I don't believe it." Ashe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I believe Lord Shaun, you should also understand the situation in the Barren Land, so this so-called permanent peace simply cannot exist. ...Or, if it exists, then you will bear the charge of being an enemy of mankind."

"Haha." Sean laughed a few times, "It is exactly what you said. However, since I occupied the Great Rift Valley, in the eyes of those countries and the Chamber of Commerce, what is the difference between me and the enemy of mankind? What?... To be honest, I think I am not a savior, and I can't save too many people, but I am very clear about what I want to do and what I should do. All of these have a clear goal."

  Speaking of this, Sean paused for a while before continuing, but this time, his voice became awe-inspiring, full of a sacred taste.

"To tell you the truth, I want to develop the Void Principality, not for myself, but for the followers around me. I am eager to give them a better future. So I have to continue to fight. Go on and fight. And this time, I came to the wilderness to seek allies, just to prepare in advance for the possible war in the future, because next, I will go to the Millennium Covenant Empire, if I can compete with the Millennium Covenant Empire If it is negotiated, then a war can naturally be avoided, but if it doesn’t work..."

  Sean smiled, and then shrugged: "If I fight with the Millennium Covenant Empire, how do you think I have the chance to win?" (to be continued~^~)
