Trist begins to let himself go, and Rhodes is helpless about it.

No way, being willing to become the Lord of the River is already the biggest concession for Trist - especially when Rod deliberately brought out Graves to convince him, this guy is always a little unhappy in his heart.

Seeing that Trist's whole person was visibly salty, Rod could only smile and take over all the tasks.

But then again, Rhodes didn't put much pressure on the river nomads - the social formation of the river nomads themselves was not so stable, and the elders' rule based on tradition and violence lacked a real solid foundation, and as long as Rhodes' hoe was wielded quickly, their social structure would not last long.

The reason why the river nomads have been able to remain independent for so many years is that they have never relied on how powerful they are, but because no one looks at their little interests.

Faced with the humid and muggy, rainy ancient jungle of Kumang all year round, even the pioneers of Noxus chose to leave Noxtola at most.

What's more, in the depths of the jungle, there was such an existence as Zyra before!

And this time, Rod's supply depot plan ...... It will directly destroy the foundations of the Great River Nomad Society.

……………………

The supply depot is just a signal.

When the first supply depot was built, a large number of merchants from Piltover poured into the hot and humid rainforest.

The Supreme Council of Picheng and the mayor of Zaun announced that they would temporarily provide high tax rebates for several pigments produced in Kumangu – as part of the Shurima plan, the Great River Nomad Renovation itself was strongly supported by Piltover and Zaum.

As long as the raw materials were obtained from the ancient jungle of Kumang, which were then processed into fuel in Picheng or Zu'an, and then shipped elsewhere for export, the merchants would receive a huge tax rebate subsidy in the process - strictly speaking, it was a joint effort by Zuan and Picheng to economically plunder the Great River Nomads.

So, when the vanguard fortress was ready, a large number of Piltover merchants spontaneously entered the rainforest because of the tax refund scheme.

The emergence of these merchants seriously affected the original social order of the river nomads.

Imagine that a beautiful tourist area suddenly begins to produce gold, and a large number of gold diggers flock to it, what kind of impact will the original order of the tourist area face?

In the beginning, faced with a large number of Picheng people, the river nomads still thought that this was a good thing to lose money from heaven - but when it came to business, these river nomads were no match for the Picheng and Zuan people!

Sailboat or something...... It's not a great technology!

When the merchants and expeditions that had come to the rainforest first had already secured an excellent supply of raw materials, the latecomers wisely chose to grab business with the river wanderers.

That's right, compared to digging up raw materials from peers, it's easier to bully these river nomads!

So, the good days of the river nomads came to an end.

With the support of the shipyard, one small boat after another was quickly launched, and the Picheng and Zuan, who arrived a step late, began to develop a lodging and catering business.

Under the fierce competition, the local river nomads have been losing ground one after another.

Why is a small workshop based on a family unit compared to a chain industry?

The price is cheaper, the service is more considerate, and the reputation is better......

The people who came to Kumangu were all gold diggers who wanted to make money, and they couldn't afford to spend a lot of money because of the "original" service of the river nomads!

From a macro point of view, Picheng and Zuan are relying on their economic superiority to frantically crush the tribes of the Great River Wanderers.

Under this dimensionality reduction attack, although the entire Python River Basin has radiated a different kind of vitality, the life of the river nomads has become more and more bleak.

And that's not even the deadliest.

What's even more fatal is that a large number of Picheng and Zuan people present a different world in front of the river nomads - as mentioned earlier, although the river nomads are also business migrants, they still reject contact with the outside world in their bones, and their understanding of the outside world is more like a blind man touching an elephant under the traditional rules.

But now, with the sudden arrival of development tearing down the black cloth that had been blindfolded before their eyes, the river nomads saw a different world, a completely different world than the elder had said.

Imagine what you would do if the facts told you that the information you received from a young age was false, and that your standard of living had plummeted, and that you were about to go hungry?

Generally changing to individual tribes, it has long been anti-him.

However, the river nomads are still enduring it.

When the elders took out some of their savings and said that "those outsiders who rush into the rainforest will die in the wrath of the rainforest", the discontent of the river nomads was temporarily suppressed......

What kind of spirit is this?

It's a pity that the continuous dissatisfaction and concessions of the Great River Wanderers did not get the results they wanted—in fact, Zyra, who had destroyed the invaders several times before, had already been captured on Fuguang Island at this time, and their last reliance was long gone.

In this case, in the end, they can only watch as the area controlled by outsiders grows larger and larger, and the river nomads become more and more marginalized......

In this case, the elders died again, asking the entire tribe to move deeper into the rainforest - as long as we avoided outsiders, we could return to our previous state.

This time, the Great River Wanderers finally faltered.

Under the successive blows, the prestige of the elders has long been less than before, and now that the Great Migration is still proposed at this time, how can the Great River Nomads easily agree?

To add insult to injury, the Picheng and Zuan have also increased their employment of river nomads.

With a multi-pronged approach, the social structure of the Great River Nomads finally collapsed completely.

More and more people are choosing to leave their tribes and join the camp of the Picheng or Zuan, and Picheng and Zuan seem to have seen it as a race to win over the river nomads.

As a result, the elders were embarrassed to find that there were fewer and fewer people they could command and control.

Except for a few doglegs who have been following them, in less than half a year, the vast majority of Dahe nomads have chosen to turn their backs on tradition.

"It can't be like this!" The elders who had previously held the power of killing and seizing the lives of their clansmen finally gathered together with the last of their strength, "If this continues, there will be no more river nomads - everyone will become Zuan or Picheng!" ”

In order to resist the dimensionality reduction attack from the industrial civilization, the elders of the Great River Nomads found a reluctant solution after some hard thinking and meditation.

Narrow nationalism.
