There were less than a hundred Chiseltooth barbarians who could escape back to the camp, and before they could react, the predominantly human coalition had already been killed and easily attacked.

The battle was over in an hour. These chiseled barbarians are so poor that they don't have much worth distributing except for battle drops. The biggest gain was the rescue of dozens of people of various ethnic groups who were being held as reserve food.

In the rugged village of the chiseled barbarians, the leaders and high-ranking leaders of all ethnic groups gathered in the wide main hall and exchanged happily, Xiang Ningxuan sat in the center without concessions, smiling and greeting the aliens who came up to greet each other.

At this time, Zhu Qizhu led people to walk in with a few trays with heads, and in the trays were the heads of the leaders of the chiseled barbarians, the generals, the great wizards and other high-level people, and the smell was fishy.

The delicate flower demon leader wrinkled his nose and exclaimed, "Oh, what are you doing with these ugly things? ”

Xiang Ningxuan put away his smile and said solemnly: "Sacrifice the souls of the dead!" Don't you feel it? There are a large number of souls killed by these barbarians, wailing and screaming, and they will not be liberated. Among them are your people. ”

As soon as he said this, the aliens suddenly felt a chill on the back of their necks, as if there were really dead souls wailing.

Of course, the real situation is not as serious as what Xiang Ningxuan said, and he doesn't explain it. He has done this set of sacrificing the souls of the dead several times, and the process is very familiar, just let those high-level people of the alien race follow suit.

Recruiting these aliens is only the first step, and the more important thing is how to assimilate them in the future. The so-called "major affairs of the country, only worship and Rong", if you want them to identify with this country, the easiest way is to sacrifice together and fight side by side.

Although they didn't make much effort just now, after all, they could be regarded as fighting side by side, and the next thing was to make a sacrifice according to human etiquette.

Due to the lack of everything, the sacrificial ceremony was relatively simple, but the solemn and solemn atmosphere was still strong.

Since being recognized by the Soul of the Ancestors, Xiang Ningxuan has gradually become proficient in this trick of pretending to be a god and a ghost, coupled with the strength of his epic hero, as well as the condensed soul power. The whole ritual process was a process of assimilation, and several foreign leaders and high-ranking people unknowingly accepted the etiquette of Huaxia. As long as they go through a period of subtle assimilation, these people who speak the Chinese language, practice Chinese etiquette, and identify with this country in their hearts, even if they look different, who can say that they are not Chinese?

After the sacrificial ceremony, it was the negotiation of these alien races to formally join the republic, in fact, there was nothing to talk about, in principle, there were no differences, only some specific territorial divisions have not been negotiated. Of course, these can be discussed by the specific people below, as a leader, since there is no problem in principle, then the agreement can be signed.

Xiang Ningxuan didn't have the ability to find a soul contract, and the agreement was just an ordinary blank piece of paper. What's more, since ancient times, the Chinese habit has been to emphasize promises over contracts, and sometimes, the covenant between two countries only needs to be high-fived as an oath. In addition to the ethereal faith, the most practical thing to maintain the contract is profit and power.

Why is it that some contracts are enough to give a high-five, while others will still be torn up even if they are signed in black and white? It is nothing more than an imbalance of interests and an imbalance of power. Interests here refer not only to actual monetary benefits, but also to intangible interests such as reputation and reputation.

Of course, it also depends on the person, a miser like a goblin only has money in his eyes, and any reputation and reputation are all floating clouds, and any contract signed with them only needs to be tightly fastened to money.

This signing involves three races, the Jinyu people, the goblins and the flower demons, and their systems, personalities, and behavioral habits are completely different.

Jinyu people are still more honest; And as long as the miser goblins set the liquidated damages high, they will not dare to break the contract.

Only the flower demon has a detached personality, and it is all based on preferences, if they look at you pleasing to the eye, they will treat you with their hearts and lungs. If you don't like it, whether you have a contract or not, it means to scold you.

Fortunately, Xiang Ningxuan is still very popular with the flower demons, and after a little coaxing, they happily signed the contract.

The contract stipulates:

1. All the signatory tribes recognize themselves as part of the Republic and are obliged to preserve the unity and territorial integrity of the Republic. When there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, it is necessary to respond to the call of the Republic and contribute people and money to jointly resist the invader.

2. Human beings and non-human beings, all races are equal, united and mutually beneficial, and oppose racial discrimination. Xiang Ningxuan, as the leader, must treat other races fairly and justly.

3. The contracted clans shall enjoy autonomy within the prescribed territories, subject to the Constitution of the Republic. Outside the Autonomous Community, local laws and regulations must be observed.

4. Respect the customs and cultural arts of all tribes.

There are many more specific provisions, so I will not list them one by one. In short, this contract was used as a template, and it was signed with all the clans under Xiang Ningxuan's rule who could communicate and were willing to join the republic. Due to the proximity of the signing site, this contract is also known as the Zhenze Contract.

————

Because the walled city of the chiseled barbarians was so rudimentary, it was not a place for people to live at all. After the contract was signed, Xiang Ningxuan led people to withdraw the army.

Of course, the army of more than 5,000 people could not be withdrawn all at once, but Chu Xiongtian, the chief of staff, was responsible for this matter. Xiang Ningxuan used the excuse that he still had to deal with government affairs, so he rushed back to the Hongye District Government with the elite group.

On the way, Ran Xiuji and Li Wuxian reported to him about the inspection work in Jiangcheng District, and of course they also mentioned that there was also the fairy sword mission.

Xiang Ningxuan didn't bother to do it, he now had Jianxi, the general of the navy, which was much easier to use than the dead thing of Xianling Island. What's more, the next step is to prepare for the battle against the Feather People, how can he have time to play the fairy sword mission?

However, it was the group of demons mentioned by Li Wuxian when he resigned that they attracted Xiang Ningxuan's attention. After all, the Demon Capital is adjacent to his jurisdiction, and when the situation stabilizes, there will definitely be a lot of intersections.

Even after he pacified the Red Leaf District and Jiangcheng District, if the form of the Demon Capital was unstable, he wouldn't mind going over there to get some benefits.

According to what Li Wuxian learned from Feng Yiming, the situation in the Demon Capital was not very good. The main reason is the lack of a leader like Rong Zheng.

As the most dynamic international metropolis of the Republic, the biggest feature of the magic capital is that it is mixed with fish and dragons, and various forces are intertwined. The order of the republic before the end of the world was still very stable, and the demons could not make a big mess.

However, the apocalyptic crisis destroyed the order of the magic capital, and various forces took advantage of the situation to divide one side. There are several big forces in it, and there are also many small and medium-sized forces that are trying to fish in troubled waters. Before the human power was secured, they began to intrigue with each other.

Li Wuxian's situation was similar to when he left the city and returned to his hometown, and Xiang Ningxuan couldn't say anything to keep him, so he could only help him have a smooth journey. What's more, Li Wuxian can also be used as an outpost, so he will go to the Demon Capital first to inquire about the situation.

So, Xiang Ningxuan took out a round ball the size of an egg and said to Li Wuxian: "This is the newly developed arcane positioning device of the Primal Chaos Laboratory. If you need help, quickly say a paragraph after knocking it out, and the information and coordinates will be transmitted to the host. We can send someone to pick it up. ”

Li Wuxian nodded and took the ball, and said, "Then I'm welcome." ”
