It is understandable that the green-faced man said such a thing. After all, the current situation has become very obvious. If they, the Loka fishmen, cannot get help from others, then there is a high probability that these compatriots who narrowly escaped from the battlefield will.
A large number died in the probably long famine that followed.
At least according to his statistics and those of the few remaining Roka fish leaders who had narrowly escaped in the previous massacre, if everything was done on their own, at least 60-70% of the people would have died before the economy recovered.
In the dark.
More importantly, this death rate is still their most optimistic estimate. If it is a little more pessimistic, it is very likely that there will be no one out of ten, and it is even possible that all the Loka fishmen will die.
Many things can be given up before the survival of the race. At least according to the results of the discussion before Green Face and the others came, they are even willing to become a vassal race to the triton people or mermaids, as long as those intelligent races that are not very evil are willing.
Take them in and give them a chance to reproduce as a species.
Judging from the conversation between Lawrence and the others just now, it is obvious that Lawrence holds the power that can save the Loka fish people. At the same time, as one of the few Loka fish people who have come into contact with humans before, he also understands that they are different from other aquatic intelligent creatures.
, now the productivity of most of the intelligent races on land has exceeded those of intelligent races in the water.
What's more important is that unlike those marine creatures, green-faced Loca fish and others think that humans are land creatures and do not compete with themselves for much living space.
Moreover, Green Face also feels that they can run their own advantageous industries through their own strength and complement humans economically, so it is obviously better to take refuge with them than to take refuge with those intelligent marine creatures.
On the other hand, these Loka fish people also realized that the reason why they suffered so much this time was closely related to their weakness and lack of a strong enough backer. Therefore, they thought it was best to find a strong person to take refuge in next.
A very important matter, even related to the continuation of the entire race.
Obviously, in the previous war, the Sauer Island troops under Lawrence's command who resisted to the death on the peninsula left a very deep impression on this group of Loka fish people. Therefore, after Lawrence and the others just expressed their hope to recruit them,
The green-faced man immediately agreed.
However, Lawrence was surprised by his agreement, because he really didn't expect that after just a few words, the group of Loka fish people would rush over and hug their thighs. According to his previous thoughts, this
Such important matters should at least require repeated discussions before the other party can come to a conclusion.
"I know this may seem strange, but it is the truth." At this time, the two officers and officials on the island had left the room very consciously and closed the door.
When only Luoka Fishman Green Face and Lawrence were left in the house, Green Face said directly. "We are now facing a life and death decision, so we don't have much time to argue. Fortunately,
, you completely fit the image of the best lord in our minds."
"Ah - why don't I think I'm so good?" After hearing the slightly flattering reply from the Loka fishman, Lawrence showed an embarrassed look on his face, and then looked at the two companions beside him.
I noticed that both Saphiel and Nora had similar expressions on their faces.
"Because you can truly treat the races under you equally, and this is very important to us." The green-faced Loka fishman said with a shrug, because he had followed the colorful fins before.
Lawrence and the others had been captured before, so it was natural to notice that the army under Lawrence's command was a multi-ethnic army.
When Lawrence and Cai Fin were discussing, the green-faced man who knew a little bit of human brigade language chatted with the soldiers guarding the water hole for a while because of the relaxed atmosphere at that time, and naturally knew about Lawrence's situation on the island.
Policy. At least in his opinion, the policy on Sauer Island is really suitable for the current Loka fish people.
After all, unlike the sahuagin who live by plundering, the loka are neutral creatures by nature. And they usually make a living by hunting and gathering as well as partial planting and breeding. Unlike those bandit sahuagin or freshwater people,
Compared with fishmen, Loka fishmen are standard producers. So they naturally hope to meet a lord like Lawrence.
More importantly, he also learned from the previous chat that Lawrence and the waters around Sauer Island where he is located can be said to be very rich. Not only do they have fishing grounds, but the people on the island also continue to work under the leadership of the Agricultural Church staff.
Various seagrasses are planted around the island to continuously optimize the environment around the island.
"Let me make it clear first that my situation as a subject is completely different from yours before. For example, you have to pay taxes according to the law, accept recruitment in emergencies, and abide by the laws enacted on the island."
Seeing how eagerly the Loka fish-man agreed, Lawrence immediately stated those restrictive requirements. After all, he hoped that it would be better to make some things clear at the beginning, rather than later discovering that the situation was not right and causing a series of conflicts.
"Of course, in this regard, it is also a case-by-case analysis. For example, in your case, you can get a one-year tax holiday and a one-year half-tax holiday. In addition to the basic laws, you can also formulate a series of laws related to the basic laws.
Laws that are not violated——"
Naturally, Lawrence, who has experience in these two lives, will also be able to imitate cats and tigers. When faced with these intelligent creatures that are very different from humans from a physiological point of view, he can also come up with very suitable management plans.
"This is already very good." The green-faced Loka fishman said, "As long as you can treat us fairly, then everything will not be a problem. Although the remaining male labor force among us is only about half of the original, but for us
, as long as there is a suitable environment, we can rebuild our home with our own hands."
"If that's the case, then I welcome you on behalf of Sauer Island." Lawrence said with his hands spread out in a welcoming gesture. Naturally, he is 100% welcoming to these Loka fish people who are obviously workers. Because this is just right.
It can make up for the current underwater gap of the island.
After finalizing these things, Lawrence and the others came to the headquarters. At this time, those in the headquarters were discussing how to deal with the captured Loka fish people. Lawrence said that the Loka fish people planned to defect to themselves.
After doing this, they were very willing to let me go.
Especially the Vieques Island side seemed very happy when they heard that Lawrence was willing to leave with this group of Loca fishmen who were regarded as unstable factors. They even expressed their willingness to provide a week's rations and a free ration transport ship to send this group of fishmen away.
The sahuagin and Lawrence leave.
The reason why they did this is very reasonable, because placing the Loka fishmen is a very cumbersome and troublesome matter, and various problems will definitely arise in the process.
Unlike nobles like Lawrence, these officials will leave here as soon as their terms are up, so naturally, in the spirit of doing more things than doing less, they let these Luoka Yu people follow them, and Lawrence and the others left.
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will receive cash and coins!
Therefore, even if these officials know that taking in these Loka fish people now will gain more in the future, they think that they should have left the island by then, and no matter how much they pay now, they will not get the corresponding benefits.
So he simply allowed Lawrence to take these people away to avoid getting himself into so much trouble in vain.
But this is also a good thing for Lawrence, at least he can now take these Loka fish people away smoothly.
