Living habits are regional. There is a reason why the Kentana savages in the mountains are not recognized by the Kentana savages. When they left the Kentana Icefield and entered mountain life, many lives changed without even realizing it.
Habits have changed, such as dependence on the Koremon.
Will the Kentana barbarians still be pure Kentana barbarians when they no longer rely solely on the Kore beasts?
The officials and merchants of the Yongye Group Army are not interested in discussing issues involving philosophy. What they are interested in is the Kolei Beast.
They are the most direct beneficiaries of this large camel beast, especially on the trade line of the Odin Orcs, the Kolei Beast has shown great value.
Not only do they have a strong load-bearing capacity, they also have a great appetite and are resistant to cold, hunger, and thirst.
On the Odin Prairie, if you eat and walk at the same time, you can travel for thirteen or four hours continuously. Even if you are carrying a heavy load, you can still walk one hundred thirty or forty kilometers.
If there were another third of the female animals inside, even the caravan's food would be able to provide less than half.
The Kolei beast has supported a nation, and its reputation is not in vain.
The Kore beasts that the Kentana barbarians in the mountainous area can trade are very limited, so the Evernight Army can only put its thoughts on the Kentana barbarians, and has already started preliminary contact.
The news is both good and bad.
The good news is that the Kentana barbarians are not as barbaric as outside legends say. They are completely untouchable and will rob all caravans.
This can be seen from the Kentana barbarians in the mountains. They maintain a relatively complete cultural heritage, even if this cultural heritage is relatively primitive and barbaric.
But at least they should be distinguished from primitive creatures and understand the benefits of trade. If they rob and kill the merchants who come to them, no merchants will come to their door again.
There is also trade among the Kentana barbarians, although it remains at the primitive level of barter.
Robbery is their last resort.
Being able to communicate naturally means that trade relationships can be established.
The bad news is that the mountain Kentana barbarians are more resistant to this, because large amounts of trade will attract more Kentana barbarians.
At that time, the situation of the mountain Kentana barbarians will become more difficult. For merchants of the Evernight Army who can bring goods, those Kentana barbarians are more tolerant, which does not mean that they treat the mountain Kentana barbarians.
His attitude is equally gentle, and by then I am afraid that most of them will be plundered and enslaved.
However, the mountainous Kentana barbarians headed by the Cliff Clan are unprecedentedly weak. Not to mention that they lack confidence when facing the Kentana barbarians, they even lack confidence when facing the Yongye Group Army.
Weak countries have no diplomacy.
Without sufficient military strength, how can one stand upright?
Especially when your own tribe still has a large number of prisoners of war in the hands of the other party.
In this case, the leader of the Cliff Clan, Dad Locke, once again personally sent an envoy to the Yongye Group Army.
"Pfft!" Sean's sip of tea spurted out for several meters, with unconcealed shock on his face, "What? Marriage?"
"Yes, Chief Locke's main purpose this time is to request marriage." Marshall looked solemn, but there was an uncontrollable smile in the corners of his slightly raised mouth and narrowed eyes.
When he first heard this request from his father Locke, he looked no better than Sean, and it was extremely hard to endure it, after all, he was in front of the person involved.
Yes, it was Locke, nicknamed Dad, the chief of the Cliff Clan, who proposed the marriage, and the marriage partner was his biological daughter, who was said to be the most beautiful one.
"No, absolutely not!" Sean's head shook like a rattle.
Because the first thing Sean thinks of is Locke, who is covered in black hair and is as majestic as a steel city wall. Isn't his biological daughter a female man with arms that can run horses?
The most beautiful one.
It depends on who is judged by the standards. The standards of each race are different. Even the Andis people's standards are somewhat different from Sean's personal standards.
Most Andis people seem to be more interested in women with rounder bodies. This is related to the relative scarcity of materials in the world, and roundness and fatness represent rich nutrition and easy fertility.
As for Sean's aesthetic point of view, it originated from his previous life, which was as pure as it could be - delicate, slim, tall, and fair.
That was the ideal body shape of a beautiful woman in his mind.
As the Yongye Army grew stronger, there were many women who threw themselves into his arms in private, but they were all rejected by Sean.
Sean's firm willpower is only one aspect. On the other hand, I can only say, what are those things that come to my door?
It's not their fault that they are ugly, but it's their fault that they still come out and prance around when nothing happens.
If a lamb that fits Sean's aesthetic point of view were actually delivered to his door, it's doubtful whether he would eat it and wipe it clean.
The few times Sean verbally rejected him, word spread in private, and then no one took the initiative to come to the door. It would be a lie to say that there was no trace of regret in his heart.
Sean is still a million miles away from becoming a saint. He has no shortage of vanity that a man should have. However, compared to young boys of the same age, he knows how to regulate and control himself better and will not be unable to move when he sees a beautiful woman.
Moving legs, big drooling jokes.
Even the Andis people, who share the same origin, are like this.
Not to mention the Kentana savages in the mountains who have even greater differences in body shape and customs. You can tell from your buttocks that these humanoid orangutans covered in tendon flesh will never like those slender girls who can't hold a hand.
And the racial genes are there. Although Sean has never seen women from the Mountain Kentana barbarians, he has seen mixed-race women with the blood of the Mountain Kentana barbarians.
That appearance, ahem, could only be said to be the existence he looked up to.
"Isn't it inappropriate to refuse directly?" Sean's reaction did not exceed Marshall's expectations, and his brows knitted into a knot, "This will be regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the Cliff Clan, and will not be conducive to the cooperation and development of both parties."
After the food crisis eased slightly, the prisoner exchange agreement reached between the Yongye Group Army and the Cliff Clan began to be formally implemented. A large number of Andis and mixed-race children of the two tribes who had been enslaved by the mountain Kentana barbarians for many years were sent to the Yongye Group Army.
Nearly half of the captives of the Kentana barbarians in the mountains were also released one after another.
The original peace talks between Locke, the leader of the Cliff Clan, and the Yongye Group Army were somewhat of a delaying tactic. However, the Yongye Group Army was not a good opponent either. It would not let go of the eagle when it saw the rabbit, and did not see the promised benefits. Kentana, half of the mountainous area, was barbaric.
No one would be released.
Even now, nearly half of the cliff clan warriors have been detained as mercenaries to prevent the cliff clan from changing their minds and making a comeback.
The previous defeat of the Duya Clan army was more or less a combination of risks and tricks. If it were a real head-on confrontation, the Yongye Group Army would have to gather the strength of the entire army to barely be able to compete with the opponent.
At the beginning, the Yongye Group Army only coveted the superior combat power of the warriors of the Duanya Clan. However, with the entry of the caravan, the infiltration of Eagle Eyes, and the large number of slave exchanges from the east, the Yongye Group Army had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the east.
With the understanding, I found that the existence of the Cliff Clan is very necessary.
The situation to the east is more complicated and chaotic than expected. The mountain Kentana barbarians, Andis people, Odin orcs, Kentana barbarians, and mixed races of the four races are scattered scattered in the mountains.
There are forces of different sizes.
The Cliff Clan can only be said to be the most powerful clan tribe in the eastern reaches of the Andis Mountains, but it is not the real ruler.
Daddy Locke is indeed a wise man among the mountain Kentana barbarians. However, the fatal flaw of the relatively small population of the mountain Kentana barbarians cannot be changed in one day. The relatively poor fertility is just
On the one hand, the most important issue is food rations.
The mountain Kentana savages are unusual in body shape from ordinary people, and their daily minimum consumption is destined to be two to three times that of the Andis people.
This only refers to the normal state. If you are in a high-intensity training state, the consumption will be even more astonishing. The territory that can support 100,000 Andis people, and the Kentana barbarians in the mountains, can support more than 10,000 people, which is the limit.
At its peak, the Duoya clan had a population of only 40,000 to 50,000.
What we are only talking about here are the pure-blooded mountain Kentana barbarians. As mentioned before, those Andis people and mixed-race people are not tribesmen at all in their eyes, but slaves and property. In exchange for the captured mountain Kentana barbarians,
Tana barbarians, they can be discarded without hesitation.
Locke, the leader of the Cliff Clan, risked his life and personally negotiated with the Yongye Group Army because their current situation was precarious.
Having lost most of the tribe's combatable soldiers in the Andes Mountains, their dominance was seriously threatened. Without waiting for the full-scale invasion of the Kentana barbarians, other small and medium-sized tribes that united would remove him from dominance.
Moved down from position.
From the perspective of the Yongye Group Army, rather than changing to another ruler, it would be better for Dongluan to continue to be led by the Duanya Clan.
Not only because the Yongye Army now holds the handle on them, but also because his supreme leader Locke is calm and rational enough to know the choice.
If it were replaced by a tribe led by a purely reckless man, it would not be in the interest of the Yongye Army to go against them regardless of the situation.
The most important thing is the threat from the authentic Kentana barbarians in the Kentana Icefield. The information brought back by the Eagle Eye Scouts of the Evernight Army has confirmed that Father Locke did not lie. Those barbarians are in the natural environment.
They gathered under pressure and clashed constantly with the Kentana barbarians in the mountains.
Compared with the mountain Kentana barbarians, these peoples from the ice sheet are more aggressive, which is not only related to their racial culture, but also to their harsh living environment.
Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people.
The race with the harsher living environment is more aggressive and barbaric.
The tyrannical personal force displayed by the Kentana barbarians in the mountainous area made the Yongye Group Army's scalp numb, let alone the Kentana barbarians in the mountainous area who were a little frightened.
According to the words brought back by the eagle-eyed sentinels, every one of those guys is a monster in human skin. There are no weak ones, including those women, because the weak ones have been eliminated by the harsh living environment.
There is still an Andis inland lake blocking it. Once the Yongye Group Army launches the Spring Thunder Plan and the Jacob River flows again, the natural danger will no longer exist, and the exchanges between the two sides will inevitably increase.
In a short period of time, the Yongye Group Army has no plans to plot the East Mountains. Not to mention compared to the Swamp of Despair, even compared to the Kogel Grassland outside the Northern Fortress, the East Mountains of Andis does not attract Yongye much.
The place where the army group is.
The only special product, the Kolei Beast, can be purchased through trade, and there is no need to control the place of origin in one's own hands.
What's more, according to the characteristics of the Evernight Army, it won't take long for them to establish their own Kore beast ranch. After time fermentation, this special product will no longer be unique to the Kentana barbarians.
Judging from the current situation, the benefits of the Duanya clan's existence are far greater than being replaced by other tribes.
That's why the Yongye Group Army happily released half of the prisoners of the Cliff Clan.
However, Locke, the leader of the Cliff Clan, was obviously not sure about the fate of the Evernight Army. He used the Byron Alliance's usual method of marriage to strengthen the connection between the two parties. Whether he wanted to exchange for the other half of the Cliff Clan captives in this way, he had to
And know.
Sean seemed to realize that he was a little too willful in saying this, and then added: "This matter needs long-term consideration!"
Sean knew very well that as the Yongye Army continued to grow, the initiative in his marriage was gradually no longer in his hands.
Marriage is a means of establishing relationships between different races, different forces, and different families.
Especially in the Byron Alliance, political marriages are even more rare and common. Many small alliances are connected through complicated and intertwined marriages. A closer look shows that the families in the Byron Alliance with a little history have all been related by marriage.
Take the Regent Princess Sophia, for example. She has the blood of the three major families of Lancelot, Strachey, and Black flowing through her body. This only goes back to her grandfather’s generation. If we continue to trace it back, thank you.
The eight major families in the Lun Alliance are all likely to have connections.
After all, the tides are turning, and every king of Lancelot needs a queen, and the status of the ducal family in the Byron Alliance will rise with the passing of the queen.
"Although the Cliff Clan has made a request for marriage, they have not designated a marriage partner on our side." Marshall also added, "They are not qualified to marry the general. I think this matter can be handled by a deputy general.
Got it!"
"You are deliberately making fun of me, right?" Sean glared at Marshall angrily. To be honest, he was shocked by the news Marshall just now and forgot about it.
Marriage, this kind of thing also requires an equality of strength.
If the Duanya clan's request for marriage comes before the defeat, the Yongye Army must treat it with caution.
But now, the Yongye Group Army has more room for maneuver.
Although Marshall didn't say it explicitly, Sean knew who the lieutenant general he was referring to was - Skullcrusher McGee.
Not only does he have half of the Kentana barbarian blood flowing through him, but also because he is the biggest profiteer from the deal with the Cliff Clan.
The hybrids exchanged from the Cliff Clan gave priority to replenishing his skull-crushing legion. Now the number has expanded to more than 2,500 people. It is still some distance away from the real legion, but now that there is a stable source of troops, it is just a matter of replenishment.
A matter of time.
If he doesn't step up to solve this problem, who will?
"On this matter, it's better to test the tone of Vice General McGee in advance. Locke, the old fox, can delay it first." Sean is also scratching his head about this kind of thing. It is better to be more democratic and test the opinions of the parties involved.
The attitude is better.
"I've tried it in advance, and Vice General McGee doesn't seem to care much about this." Marshall showed a sly smile and said, "Vice General McGee said it's the same even if the lights are turned off!"
