117. Happy cooperation

Sean and Hammer and High Priest Heavy Rock have secretly negotiated something, which makes High Priest Heavy Rock immediately rekindle new hope in his originally gray and dead eyes.

That night's banquet was probably the most exciting thing for the tribesmen since the heavy damage to the Chongyan tribe.

They had a new chieftain, and they had a sense of peace of mind - almost every one of the people of the Heavy Rock tribe, who had been worried for a long time, cried when they learned that Sean and his troops would remain in the Heavy Rock Tribe for the time being. Without experiencing the brutality of war and existential crisis, no one can understand how much they feel about the security that peace brings.

Especially when they learned that AndrΓ© and Cecilia were about to become their teachers, responsible for teaching them how to be a commander, everyone even worshipped Sean and the others with almost piety.

Of course, here in the tribes of the Savage Lands, they are not actually called teachers, because the priests of the tribe are responsible for the transmission of knowledge. However, neither AndrΓ© nor Cecilia were priests, and it was of course impossible to call them priests in the customs of the Savage Lands, and in the end, it was Sean who solved the problem and called these two teachers instead of priests or what the outside world generally called teachers.

However, according to normal circumstances, even a fifth-class tribe like the Chongyan tribe usually has two or three priests, and often only a fourth-class tribe will have a high priest. However, the fact that the Chongyan tribe has a high priest is actually very suspicious of Sean, because it proves that this tribe was once a fourth-class tribe, and then it only became a fifth-class tribe without knowing what it was.

And there's a little bit of confusion in that.

Generally speaking, if there is a high priest, it is actually very easy to train new priests in the tribe, after all, the high priest has a great advantage in terms of knowledge, experience, knowledge, etc., so it is not difficult to choose a gifted person. But according to Hammer, the Heavy Rock Tribe has been in the past thirty years. But there has always been only one high priest of the heavy rock, none of the other priests, and even this high priest has never chosen the people of the tribe to train.

If it weren't for the high priest's drop this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have chosen Ronan as his successor, right?

However, Sean didn't intend to ask about the past glory of the Heavy Rock Tribe, because that would be meaningless. Besides, even if this high priest is selfish, Sean is actually understandable, after all, if it were him, I'm afraid he wouldn't do it. After all, there can only be one high priest and great witch priest in a tribe, and it has always been the ability to bear it, if you cultivate a person whose talent and talent are above you, then according to tribal tradition, you must be replaced.

And the high priest and the great witch priest have many privileges, and it is normal to be reluctant to give up these privileges.

After all. Barbarians are also human.

As long as you are human, there will always be all kinds of problems.

After the feast is over. Sean didn't stay on the ground any longer. Instead, he returned to the tent where the hammer had been prepared early in the morning. Originally, distinguished guests with status like Sean, Cecilia, and Andre must have been arranged to stay in the earthen house, but with the current predicament of the Chongyan tribe, this is naturally gone, and letting an old man in his hundred and fifties give up his room, this lack of virtue Sean can't do it.

But it wasn't long before Sean returned to his tent. Cecilia's voice rang out, "Can I come in?" ”

"Of course." Sean was a little surprised that Cecilia was still coming to him at this time, but of course he wouldn't refuse Cecilia, this time living here in the Heavy Rock Tribe, Cecilia was also arranged in a tent. But she herself was a little unhappy, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I can't sleep." Cecilia's little face was a little reluctant, and when she entered the tent, she began to carefully check it, and after making sure that there was no problem, her face became a little serious, "Now that the situation of the Heavy Rock Tribe, do we still want to stay here?" ”

"I can only stay here." Sean nodded, "Although the situation of the Heavy Rock Tribe has changed a bit unexpectedly, it is better than that. ”

"You want to control the Heavy Rock Tribe?" Cecilia reacted immediately when she heard Sean's words.

If Sean used the Heavy Rock Tribe as a breakthrough just to allow his power to reach into the wilderness, then now Sean's plan is by no means so simple. I'm afraid that after seeing the decline of the Chongyan tribe now, what Sean is thinking about now is how to completely root here, and when the time comes, as long as everything goes well, relying on the Chongyan tribe and the troops sent in from the outside to cooperate with each other, I am afraid that the entire twelve trade points in the Great Rift Valley will completely fall under Sean's control in an instant.

In this way, Cecilia can also understand why Sean wants to let himself and Andre continue to teach the people of the Heavy Rock tribe after seeing the situation of the Heavy Rock Tribe, and even temporarily lend all the troops under his command to the Heavy Rock Tribe to help them plunder other tribes for expansion.

Although the barbarians have always been ridiculed as a group of fools with low IQs, they are actually a group of people who value commitment and kindness. No matter who they are, as long as they are kind to them, then they are the distinguished guests of this tribe, and once the noble guests have any difficulties, they will never refuse, even if they want to gamble on the fate of the entire tribe, they will continue as always.

This is a spirit that is purer than chivalry, but it has never been favored by outsiders, and even knights will not recognize it.

For no other reason, outsiders never treat barbarians as human beings.

"It's not controlling, but once I take the Rift Valley, we're always going to have to defend it." Sean spoke, "And it won't do us any good to let the people of the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance control the import and export of the entire Savage Lands. Now that I have controlled the import and export of the Gap Rift, then I will definitely attack the Great Rift Valley, and my purpose is not only this trade route, but also the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Wild Lands will be of great benefit to us. ”

At this moment, Cecilia was truly surprised: "This will cause strong dissatisfaction among all countries, and we will most likely become the target of attacks by various kingdoms and empires!" ”

"That's just because we're not strong enough." Sean had a disdainful look on his face. "If the Seven Great Empires establish diplomatic relations with the Savage Lands, will anyone dare to attack them? If the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce openly supports and recognizes the legitimate identity of the Savage Lands tribes, will anyone dare to capture them as slaves so blatantly? …… Of course, with our current strength, we can't do this, but as soon as the kingdom of Dabion is destroyed, our strength will immediately swell. ”

"And at that time, even if the Chongyan tribe has not yet become a second-class tribe, its strength will definitely be unprecedentedly strong, even those first-class tribes will definitely not dare to provoke at will, so that the Chongyan tribe will have the right to speak in the wilderness. And as long as we join forces with the Heavy Rock Tribe, we can swallow the twelve trade points of the Great Rift Valley in one go. When the time comes, I will declare this to be my territory, and then I will establish friendship with the other tribes of the Savage Lands through my association with the Heavy Rock tribes, as long as they recognize me as a lord, whether it is the Maddar Realm, the Dayi Territory, the Kiraf Territory, or any other territory that will later annex the Kingdom of Dabion. Not to live! ”

"This ......," Cecilia was completely stunned, "you're making enemies of this world!" No country would agree! …… The riches of the Wild Lands are enormous. Absolutely no one would be happy to see so much wealth lost. And in this way. Even Asuna won't be able to protect us anymore, and maybe we'll have to fight against Asuna! ”

"I know it." Sean nodded, "But otherwise, we won't be able to develop quickly." However, this plan is only a fantasy at the moment, and I will not be able to realize it in the next few years, depending on how quickly the Chongyan tribe grows. …… And in the meantime. We can win over our allies, and Asuna is also very oppressed by the Duchy of Lane, so it's not without a chance to win her over. ”

"I think this plan is very feasible!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the tent. Sean and Cecilia's faces changed instantly.

"Two distinguished guests, there is no need to be so nervous, I don't have any malicious intent."

The sound of the tent sounding was the voice of the High Priest of Heavy Rock.

Sean gestured slightly, and Cecilia walked over and lifted the curtain to let High Priest Heavy Rock in. With the strength of this heavy rock high priest now, Sean can easily forcibly kill him without even turning on the light body technique and adrenal stimulation, so he is not afraid of this high priest doing something stupid. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that Sean's plan will really be in vain, which is not something he likes to see.

"I have no enmity towards you." High Priest Chongyan spoke, "And I agree with what you said. ”

"Oh?" Sean raised an eyebrow.

"Honorable guest, since you know so much about the affairs of the Savage Land, then you should also know the meaning of a high priest representative, right?"

"Fourth-class tribes." Sean opened his mouth and said, "The population of the tribe is more than five hundred, and there is a high priest who can accept the requisition of the superior tribe at any time and raise a force of two hundred people, which can be regarded as a fourth-class tribe. …… Generally, no matter how much the fourth-class tribe declines, it is impossible to fall to the position of the fifth-class seat, because the larger the tribe, the more people will come to take refuge, and as long as there is a high priest, it is not difficult to cultivate a priest. ”

"Your Excellency is really very knowledgeable about the Wild Lands." High Priest Chongyan nodded, "That's true. It's just that our tribe was humiliated in a conspiracy, so it became a fifth-class tribe, and we even had to move here to escape the hunt. In the sixty years since, our tribe has never produced a single gifted person, and even the generations have not been as good as the next. ”

"Naronan ......"

"He's not actually a member of the Heavy Rock Tribe." High Priest Chongyan spoke, "I picked him up twenty years ago. At that time, one of the last tribes had perished, and only a dozen people had escaped, and I happened to be out on a hunting tour with the chieftain, so we took them back. …… So, just as you have ambitions, so do I. Therefore, this plan of yours is beneficial to both you and me, and of course I am very willing to accept it, not to mention that it does not have any loss to our tribe, and you are only helping us, not trying to conquer us. ”

Sean looked at the high priest of the heavy rock in front of him, although he was old, his eyes were not cloudy at all, but shrewd, not at all like an old man, and even at this moment, there was a flame in his eyes that was even stronger than the fire of hope that Sean had seen before.

The only thing that can be stronger and more powerful than hope is the desire for revenge.

All this shows that what the high priest of the heavy rock in front of him said is true.

After a moment of silence, Sean stretched out his right hand: "With the support of the High Priest of Heavy Rock in this way, I think I can save a lot of trouble." Happy working together! ”

"Happy working together!" High Priest Chongyan also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Sean's right hand. (To be continued......)
