Several indigenous women brought some food and fruit and poured fruit wine into the cups.
The aboriginal women in the north of the Bailin plane have a brownish-red complexion, and have beautiful facial features and figure, especially the dress in the tribe. The tailoring of the clothes is rarely sewn, and the body is covered with colorful gemstone and bead chains. The only thing that is not very beautiful.
The reason is that because I walk barefoot all day, not only do my feet look big, but they are also very rough.
These indigenous women carried a faint fragrance of flowers. After everyone sat down in the cave, there was an indigenous woman sitting behind each of them.
They will wash their hands very carefully and peel the fruits specifically for the guests.
Since Suldak sent some daily necessities from Dodan Town to the tribe, cups, pots, cloths, nails, paints, and knives have become indispensable things for the indigenous tribes, and their quality of life has also improved.
A lot.
Although he still lives in the cave, there are already some fabric curtains in the cave, and there is also a round cushion where Surdak sits.
"What are your plans after the beast tide is over?"
Surdak asked.
He was not used to the kind of service from the indigenous girl behind him, so he grabbed a handful of nuts and gave them to her, gesturing for her to peel them slowly.
The indigenous tribe leader and several warriors in the tribe looked at each other. They still remembered that when Surdak came to the tribe with several strong men under his command, he once said to him: The Green Empire will expand to the north in the White Forest Plane.
I hope the young people in the tribe can go out and see the outside world.
In fact, this group of young people in the tribe went out and wandered around the Invercargill Warcraft Forest area without leaving here.
But life in the tribe has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, supplies that were in short supply, including sophisticated weapons, were continuously transported to the tribe through Duodan Town.
This time of beast tide, the tribes in the hilly and mountainous areas were almost reduced to ruins.
But the tribe leader is now confident that he can rebuild his homeland...
“We want to return to the hills and mountains to rebuild our homes,” the indigenous chief said to Suldak.
The other tribe warriors sitting next to the tribe leader also nodded to express that this was the idea of almost everyone in the tribe.
Surdak also nodded in approval, and then said:
"The Imperial Cavalry will continue to march north into the Invercargill Warcraft Forest. If you want to stay here in the hills and mountains, you will not be intruded by the Warcraft in the future. In addition, the promise I made at the beginning is still valid."
"I will continue to expand the border of the empire's territory to the north. At that time, I can encircle a large area of land on the hilly and mountainous side to ensure the life of the tribe."
"Of course, young people from the tribe can also make a living here in Duodan Town in the future, whether they join the garrison or work in the town. Young people will have more choices in the future."
After hearing what Suldak said, the nervous expression on the indigenous chief's face finally relaxed.
"We still want to rebuild our homes here in the hills and mountains..." the indigenous chief said in blunt imperial language.
Suldak nodded again and said: "It is best to sign a formal magic contract for this kind of thing, so as to prevent both parties from breaking the contract for various reasons in the future, but now I need to have the say over the hills and mountains and Invercargill Forest.
, we have to convince all the tribes in Invercargill Forest."
"Only by joining the Green Empire can we continue to live in the hills and mountains and Invercargill Forest. I promise not only to divide large tracts of land, but also to provide complete autonomy to all tribes. The empire will not interfere in the internal affairs of tribes."
"Of course, if you don't want to continue living in the hilly and mountainous areas, you can also move to Duodan Town."
"However, the land I can allocate to you can only be north of the Thorny Mountains, including the area where the hills and mountains meet the Invercargill Warcraft Forest."
"If you are worried that if you move to Duodan Town, you will not be able to live in the future."
"There is no need to worry about this at all. Please believe me, when you come to Duodan Town and take a walk, you will know how easy it is to make a living in the town."
"There is no need to worry too much about the invasion of imperial culture. I guarantee that tribal culture will not be diluted within your territory."
"If any tribe here wants to go anywhere if they don't want to join the empire, my cavalry battalion will provide necessary relocation funding, not only in terms of materials, but also by using the army to provide security services."
Surdak said so many words in one breath, and the indigenous chiefs and tribal warriors gathered together and discussed in whispers for a long time before they finally understood Surdak's consciousness.
To put it bluntly, these tribes must join the Green Empire in order to continue to live in the hills and mountains and the Invercargill forest area. The empire will not interfere with the lives of the indigenous tribes. Tribes that are not willing to join the Green Empire must leave the hills and mountains and Invercargill forest area.
Gir Forest, no matter where you go... the cavalry battalion will escort you along the way.
The tribal warrior Anta frowned, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, and asked Surdak:
"Isn't it enough for us to give up the prairie south of the Thorny Mountains? Is it necessary to continue to expand northward? Can't we leave some living space for us?"
Of course, Surdak would not say that he wanted to get the two mines and the large area of ironwood forest in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, so he had to give this area his own territory.
"I'm sorry, the Green Empire's local population base is too large. We can only maintain the prosperity of the empire by expanding outward step by step..." Surdak said.
Now his cavalry battalion is enough to defeat any tribe in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest. Just using force to deal with these indigenous tribes is the most troublesome way. It not only requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, but also eliminates every tribe.
Branching a tribe is equivalent to planting a seed of hatred.
This kind of grudge and entanglement will cause the homeless tribesmen to launch crazy revenge.
If everyone can sit down and negotiate, Suldak is still willing to sit down and talk.
"Actually, joining the Green Empire is a better choice. The land around your tribe will still belong to you, and you don't need to pay any taxes to the empire..." Surdak said to the indigenous chief: "Of course, the relationship between us now
Such closeness means that my army has recruited a large number of young people from the tribes, and I promise not to dispatch cavalry against any tribe without any reason...I am willing to sit down and talk about anything, and we can talk about anything."
When he said this, the indigenous patriarch's eyelids trembled slightly.
Surdak paused and then said:
"Actually, what I want to say is... Only if I am here can I strive for huge benefits for everyone. After all, I hope that your tribe will become more prosperous, so that my army can recruit more tribal warriors."
"If the garrison changes defense one day in the future, I'm not sure whether the new garrison commander will have the same views as me. Maybe their views will be different..."
"You also know that the Green Empire has a large population, and not everyone thinks so."
The indigenous chief thought carefully before saying, "I have to say so much at once. I need time to think carefully. This Invercargill Warcraft Forest is not just our tribe. There are dozens of tribes in the Warcraft Forest.
I need to discuss it with them.”
"I will call together all the nearby indigenous tribal chiefs, and we will sit down and talk together."
"If possible, allocate a piece of land for us in the hills and mountains. I would rather lead the people to live a nomadic life. When we lived in the grassland, we lived this nomadic life."
After the indigenous chief finished speaking, he took a sip of water to moisten his throat.
Surdak casually shared his experience in running ranches with the indigenous chiefs: "Of course there is no problem. You can also raise more war horses. This is my suggestion. The price of the Green Empire war horses is extremely expensive now. The Green Empire originally had a high-quality horse."
The price of an ancient Bolai horse is at least twenty gold. If it is a cattle or goat raised for large meat, an adult bull can only be sold for less than two gold, and a yellow sheep can only be sold for fifteen silver coins..."
After hearing Suldak's introduction, the indigenous patriarch also said with a longing face:
"I really hope to live like that one day, where I can drive cattle and horses around the mountains every day..."
After talking to the indigenous tribe leader, Surdak hurriedly left the indigenous tribe before the sun set.
When he saw Surdak and his party walking to the foot of the mountain, the indigenous chief standing beside the stone pillars on the mountainside breathed a sigh of relief, but the wrinkles on his brows did not relax.
…
In the following week, Suldak led the cavalry battalion and archer battalion in a large circle in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest. This time, the main purpose was to clean up the ghost-striped red ants in the Warcraft Forest and hunt down the red ants from the Warcraft Forest.
High-level monsters are returning to Invercargill Forest one after another outside.
During this period, some indigenous people who had hidden in the Thorny Mountains also tried to return to the hills and Invercargill Forest.
Surdak has met several indigenous tribes in succession in the past few days.
Obviously they didn't have a good impression of the imperial army. At this time, they saw the imperial army fleeing far away. They were very familiar with the Invercargill Forest. Surdak's cavalry could not catch these natives in the jungle.
The shadows are so small that they can disappear as soon as they turn around in the woods.
During this time, Surdak also returned to Dodan Town once.
A week later, news came from the indigenous chiefs, saying that most of the indigenous tribes were unwilling to leave the Invercargill Forest. They accepted the jurisdiction of Surdak, but they accepted the jurisdiction of Surdak on the premise.
It is necessary for the garrison to provide weapons and food to these indigenous tribes and help them overcome the current difficulties.
In addition, they also need a completely autonomous territory in the Invercargill Forest or hills.
It is definitely impossible for the Green Empire to open up this gap and give these indigenous tribes large areas of autonomous territory.
But this did not prevent Surdak from taking advantage of the opportunity. This time he persuaded almost all the indigenous tribes in the Invercargill Forest. Most of these indigenous tribes agreed to join the Green Empire, and only a few tribes were ready to move to the wetlands.
Live independently in the western strip.
In this way, as long as the hidden monsters in Invercargill Forest are cleared, the entire Invercargill Forest will be opened up.
According to the 433 land allocation law, Suldak owns one-third of the Invercargill Forest, and he can choose this part of the land as he wishes.
The entire Invercargill Forest is very vast, and Suldak plans to use the part of the land he acquired to compensate these indigenous tribes.
So while the thirty-seven indigenous tribe chiefs gathered in the shelter near Stonehenge, Surdak rushed there and signed thirty-seven magic contracts with these indigenous tribe chiefs.
It is worth mentioning that when Surdak signed the magic contract this time, Aphrodite helped him review the detailed terms of all the magic contracts... Surdak did not expect the succubus to be so proficient in magic contracts.
In fact, the main reason why these indigenous tribes agreed to attach themselves to Surdak so easily was because they all saw the grand scene of archers sitting on Thunder Rhinoceros, sweeping up the ghost-striped red ants back and forth in the hills and mountains.
With such strong force, the natives believed that even if they sent tribal warriors to resist the invasion of Surdak's cavalry, they would have little chance of winning.
In addition, these indigenous tribe leaders saw that there were no disadvantages in trading with the imperial people. The indigenous tribes in the Stonehenge shelter in front of them were the most realistic portrayal.
So as soon as someone took the lead and expressed their willingness to surrender, other indigenous tribes agreed one after another.
But what makes Surdak strange is that none of the indigenous tribe leaders know Viru...
Regarding the matter of dividing the land for these indigenous tribes, Suldak personally took Andrew on a run through the Invercargill Forest, determined the locations of almost all the indigenous tribes, and improved the hand-drawn map in his hand.
According to the distribution location of the indigenous tribes, Surdak also included two mineral veins and ironwood forest farm areas.
Seeing that the territory he occupied was only one-tenth of the entire Invercargill Forest.
When adding other territories, Surdak just connected his territory into a large area as much as possible.
Once all this was confirmed, it would be early July, and the rainy season would soon begin in the deserted land of Halanza City.
The beast tide in the northern part of the Bailin plane had completely calmed down. Only then was Suldak allowed by the military to leave Dodan Town and immediately rush to Wilkes City.
This time Selena and Xigna both stayed in Dodan Town, and Suldak just took Nika and Samira to Wilkes City.
Gulitem stayed behind in Duodan Town, and Duodan Town needed a strong person to take charge.
Andrew is leading a cavalry battalion, preparing to help four indigenous tribes that do not want to join the Green Empire move their homes to the edge of the wetlands west of the hilly mountains.
When the team passed through the town of Kilan, Suldak also personally visited Baron Merlin Goss. Baron Goss and Baroness Goss hosted a banquet to entertain Suldak.
Nika also took this opportunity to go home and visit her mother.
Suldak hurried slowly and finally arrived in Wilkes City in mid-July.
On the day he arrived in Wilkes City, Suldak submitted a complete map of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest and hills and mountains to the military headquarters, as well as a description of the expansion of the territory and an agreement with thirty-seven indigenous people.
The tribe signed the Convention to Join the Greene Empire and also formally submitted its application for the viscounty to the House of Representatives in Wilkes.
