254. Alliances

The Wild Winter Tribe, because it is a newly promoted first-class tribe, its tribe's territory is naturally at the very edge of the Savage Council, and it is naturally incomparable with those powerful first-class tribes with hundreds or even thousands of years of heritage. However, because the Wild Winter Tribe is a newly promoted first-class tribe, even though it is located on the edge, the area of the directly subordinate territory assigned to it is not small, and it is slightly larger than Sean's Void Principality.

The way the territory of the Savage Land is divided, Sean has not yet been clear.

Generally speaking, the third- and fourth-class tribes are attached to the second-class tribes, and the tribal territories they own are divided by the second-class tribes, which is somewhat similar to the Void Principality is to the Lane Kingdom: although the Void Principality has the independent management of the territory, the land of the entire Principality still nominally belongs to the Lane Kingdom.

However, after being promoted from a second-class tribe to a first-class tribe, the entire tribe had to migrate to live in the territory designated by the Barbarian Council, and the third- and fourth-class tribes that were originally attached to it would also be reattached to the other second-class tribes. Of course, the new first-class tribe can also assign one of the tribes to be promoted to a second-class tribe and take over the territory.

However, because of the special situation of the Barbarian Winter Tribe, when they were promoted to the first-class tribe, the third- and fourth-class tribes that were originally attached to the Barbarian King Tribe and the Cold Winter Tribe also broke away and chose a new second-class tribe to attach to. As a result, the merged Mandong tribe has become a lonely family, and there is not even a fourth-class vassal tribe, let alone a second- and third-class tribe.

Still, these are for Ash and Tedamir. Not really.

Because of the advantage of time, it is on their side.

Three seats in the Presbyterian Church. The Chief Elder was a Sacred Domain powerhouse who was born in the Barbarian King Tribe and was about fifty years old, but of course, his actual age was definitely more than that. At the very least, you have to be two or three hundred years old. However, the powerhouses of the Holy Domain can live for five or six hundred years, so this age still belongs to the category of "young", purely from the comparative definition of age and strength, this chief elder is also worthy of the standard of genius.

And the second elder of the Wild Winter Tribe is Sejuani, who was born in the Cold Winter Tribe, that is, Ash's younger sister, who is only thirty years old this year. But at the age of thirty, she was already a powerhouse at the peak of the Median Sacred Realm, especially since she also had a mutant iron-skinned tyrant boar - this was a genuine eighth-level demonic beast, which was painstakingly cultivated by Sejuani back then. So in terms of combat power alone. She is not under Tydamir and Ash, and it is said that she has been suppressing her strength in order to better impact the Legendary Realm, otherwise she would be a high-ranking Sanctuary now.

As for the three elders, he is an old man from the Barbarian King Tribe, and he is also the witch priest of the Barbarian Winter Tribe, an old man who is more than three hundred years old. He is inferior in terms of personal combat power, but as the former leader and guide of the Barbarian Tribe, he is very knowledgeable, and he is also proficient in witchcraft and totemism. He also has deep attainments in herbology, human body, etc., and is regarded as an important figure in the tribe second only to the Great Witch Sacrifice and the Unitary Chief.

Among them, the one who is a genius is naturally Sejuani. At a young age, he was a powerhouse of the Holy Land. And she is also a secondary elder, not to mention that she is also the commander of the Brutal Winter Guard, the former Winter Guard, which shows how talented she is. In the entire Wild Winter tribe. Sejuani was the fourth most powerful person after Tydamir, Ash, and the three-hundred-year-old witch priest, and even higher than the Chief Elder.

So. Sean actually couldn't understand what the Chief Elder was here for.

And under the Council of Elders, there are twelve Lower Sacred Realm powerhouses. Nine of them are from the Barbarian Tribe, and only three are from the Bitter Winter Tribe. It can be seen that if it weren't for the two of them, Sejuani and Ash, it would only be a matter of time before the Winter tribe would eventually be exiled to the margins and become a small tribe like the Heavy Rock Tribe.

However, there are pros and cons.

Although there are many strong people in the Barbarian Tribe, they are basically two hundred years old and above, and there are even two or three people who have reached the end of their lives. On the other hand, the Winter Tribe, although it has climbed all the way from the fourth-rank tribe, has no background and strong combat power, but the holy domain powerhouses of this tribe are generally very young. Not to mention that Ash is only thirty-four years old this year, Sejuani is only thirty years old, and even the other three powerhouses of the lower Sacred Domain are all around a hundred years old.

It can be said that the people of the Winter Tribe are a group of very outstanding geniuses.

One of the things that makes Sean particularly important is a man named Olaf. His usual weapons are two battle axes, but the aura emanating from his body is particularly awe-inspiring and cold, obviously the kind of ruthless person who has come all the way out of countless bloody killings, if it is evaluated by an ordinary inferior Sacred Domain powerhouse, I am afraid that he will surprise many people. However, although he claims to be 100 years old, Sean actually estimates that this person will not be more than 50 years old, which is a very young genius.

The wilderness is a carefree paradise. But since being encircled as a slave backyard by the surrounding Terran countries, the cruelty and bloodshed of the war have quickly baptized the races in this land, and their growth rate is really amazing.

On the one hand, this is of course related to the purity of the bloodline of their race - after all, the ancestors of the people in the Wild Land are the ones with the purest bloodline, and because they refuse to communicate with the outside world and only marry within the Wild Land, the bloodline still maintains a relatively high degree of purity. On the other hand, war has always been the best way to grow, especially the high-pressure war strategy of the surrounding Terran countries, which forces the people here to continue to grow up, almost without a moment's pause, so it is normal to be easy to give birth to geniuses.

This is naturally the reason why Sean values the Wild Land and wants to form an alliance with the tribes of the Wild Land.

And Ash is actually the one who really decides the direction of the tribe in the Brute Winter. Taidamir is nominally a unitary leader, but in fact he is a reckless martial artist, and his combat effectiveness is undoubtedly strong. But if you want to lead the tribe to develop, it is very difficult for him.

That's why. Ash would stand on the spot when he heard Sean say the words of the alliance directly. She's not a novice either, though. Immediately invited Sean and the others back to the tribe, such a thing is really not suitable to talk about it at length outside, you have to go back to the Wild Winter Tribe to open the ashram to be able to talk in detail, and even invite Sejuani and another elder who is also in charge of witch sacrifices.

At this time, Sean and the others sat down on both sides in the quiet room of the Wild Winter Tribe.

This ashram is similar to the council chamber that Sean set up in the Lord's Mansion. It's just that the council hall is screened by a magic array, as long as the door is closed, no one will know even if there is a fight inside the room. And this quiet room uses the technique of totem array and witchcraft. It's similar to a rudimentary version of the magic spell, but it's a little similar to the magic circle.

Cecilia, at this time, was fully observing the layout of the ashram.

Ten two-meter-tall wooden pillars were carved into different textures and patterns, and then distributed around the ashram, and Sean and others sat in the field enclosed by this totem pole. At this time, each totem pole emitted a soft white light, and when the white light lit up, Sean and the others noticed that these totem poles had some strange little bugs on them, these little bugs were all black, but the size of a fingernail.

"These are sound-eating insects. They are very sensitive to sound, and in some cases emit a force field that isolates sound. As if seeing Cecilia's interest in these things, the Third Elder explained, "And these are vacuum totems. A special sound field can be artificially created, and the sound eating insects and the vacuum totem can be combined to ensure that the sound of our conversation in this field will not be transmitted. ”

Hear the shaman's explanation. Cecilia had a feeling of lightness: "It's exquisite. ”

"Each has its own way of surviving and learning." The witch priest, who already looked like an old man, smiled and said, "Witchcraft." Ben can also be regarded as a birth formation from the arcane, which is an extension of the origin. It's not as good as magic. It's just that since witchcraft can be passed down for so long, there must be a reason for its existence. The totem array technique was born out of the magic array, and it has a deep relationship with magic from the root......"

"Let's get down to business." It seemed that seeing that the witch priest elder had opened a conversation box, and had a posture of talking about magic, arcane, witchcraft and other concepts, Ash had to preemptively interrupt the witch elder's words, "May I ask, why does Lord Sean want to form an alliance with us?" ”

The current boundary of the Void Principality firmly holds the entire Gorge Rift, which is equivalent to cutting off the path of the entire Ryan Kingdom into the Savage Land. However, the kingdom of Lane did not start by slave trade, so this road was blocked, although there are many old Darby expensive people who don't like it, but Sean is the grand duke of a country after all, so if this road is not opened, no one can say anything.

But in the same way, the territory around the Void Duchy is all the noble territory of Lane. After all, the Kingdom of Lane is not a country in the form of a federation, so even if there is sometimes internal friction, it is basically just a war of raids, unless it involves a death war such as a blood feud, it is possible to cede land and pay reparations. Therefore, if Sean has ambitions and wants to continue to expand the territory of the Void Duchy, then he can go deeper in the direction of the Savage Land.

As we all know, Sean took the Great Rift Valley in the Head-Tailed Snake Route set up by the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance many years ago. And with the force that the Void Duchy showed against the Kingdom of Dabion and the hinterland of Ryan afterward, if the Great Rift Valley was used as a forward base, according to the Void Principality's traditional step-by-step tactics, it would be impossible for the area outside the deep hinterland of the Wild Lands to stop the Void Principality's advance.

This kind of strategic advancement is indeed something that only the Void Principality can do.

After all, unless the Ryan Kingdom wants to suppress the Void Principality, otherwise, with the nobles around the Void Principality, they are eager for Sean to let them go, and they will go to the rear of the Void Principality. As for other neighboring Terran countries that want to follow suit, it is also impossible, because their neighboring countries will not give them such a steady strategy to promote development, which is why those neighboring countries regard the wilderness as a place for military training, but have never thought of completely occupying it.

And this qiē is also based on Sean's independent development.

If Sean wants to form an alliance with the tribes of the Savage Lands, then his plans must be not small, and it is even very likely that he will fight all the way to the heart of the Savage Lands. And on top of that. Any tribe that is allied with Sean is bound to be branded a traitor. This may be a bad name. However, if there are some great interests, there will inevitably be many tribes willing to cooperate with Sean.

This. It is the so-called general trend.

Ever since Deaththorn spread the story about Sean in the Savage Lands, the Barbarian Council had actually precautioned and treated Sean and his Void Principality as a powerful kingdom - if the Void Principality was really a principality, then this person was either a fool or a proud existence like the Seven Great Empires. Although the Barbarian Council can coordinate and order all the tribes in the entire Savage Land to fight together, they know their own affairs, and they are just a system similar to the federal form, and they don't really think that they have the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Seven Great Empires.

Therefore, if Sean's visit falls on the strict zhòng of the well-intentioned people and spreads, the situation of the Barbarian Winter tribe will also be very dangerous.

It's not embarrassing, it's really dangerous.

So Sean wants to find the real reason for the alliance of the Brute Winter tribe. Ash can't be worried. Because if they really want to develop into the Wild Lands, then they must immediately inform the Wild Council in order to be completely prepared. As for forcibly leaving Sean and the others behind, Ash would not be so stupid, because the strength of Sean and the others is not weak, and now it is in the Wild Winter Tribe, and if you force it, it will only be the Wild Winter Tribe that will suffer heavy losses.

Besides, if they kill Sean, then who knows if the Void Principality will really kill it with all its might. If that's the case. Under pressure, the Wild Winter Tribe will surely be sacrificed by the Barbarian Council to appease the wrath of the Void Principality.

So after entering the Wild Winter Tribe, Ash and the others really wanted to keep Sean safe.

"I have no intention of going deeper into the wilderness." And Sean. After hearing Ash's urgent question, he knew what the woman was thinking, "Or yes." I myself hate slavery. …… I'm sure you should also know that although I am a member of the Union of Chambers of Commerce of Guò who bought a large number of slaves. But in reality, I gave them the status of commoners, and did not treat them all as slaves and cannon fodder. I'm sure you can see that from my steel wings. ”

Hearing Sean's words, Ash and the others also nodded slightly.

It's no secret that the Iron Wings are made up of Northland barbarians. Even after the Iron Wings became famous in the First World War, many nobles and even countries began to follow suit, which led to the price of slaves for the barbarians of the Northlands rising steadily. But unfortunately, no lord or country can train the Northland barbarians like steel wings, at best the level of a second-level army, and the training time is too long, it is completely worth the cost.

In this regard, many lords and countries have also sent secret agents to try to find out the secrets of Sean's training of steel wings.

But unfortunately, the Void Realm is not vegetarian.

"So, may I ask what the alliance means?" Hearing Sean's words, Ash pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Since Lord Sean, you don't plan to go deeper into the wilderness, then with your situation, there is no need to form an alliance with us at all." ”

"No, an alliance is really necessary." Sean said in a deep voice, "In fact, the alliance I want to form is not just your Wild Winter Tribe, but all the tribes in the entire Savage Lands. …… Of course, I know that this is probably wishful thinking, after all, there are many tribes in the Wild Land who are completely mortal enemies with the outside world, and it is impossible to talk about going together, but if possible, I still hope to be able to form alliances with more tribes. ”

"Why?" Ash asked.

"If I say that I am for the eternal peace of the Savage Lands, will you believe me?" Sean smiled, then asked rhetorically.

"To be honest, I don't believe it." Ash smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I believe that Lord Sean should also know about the situation in the Wild Lands, so this so-called permanent peace is impossible to exist at all." …… In other words, if you have zài, then you will be charged with being the enemy of mankind. ”

"Haha." Sean laughed a few times, "It's exactly what you say. However, since I occupied the Great Rift Valley, what difference do I have from the enemies of humanity in the eyes of those countries and chambers of commerce? …… To be honest, I don't think I'm a savior, and I can't save too many people, but I know very well what I want to do and what I should do, and I have a clear goal in mind. ”

At this point, Sean paused slightly before continuing, but this time, his voice became solemn and filled with a sacred flavor.

"I'll tell you the truth, I want to develop the Void Principality, not for myself, but for the sake of these followers around me, and I want to give them a better future. So I had to keep fighting, fighting. And this time, I came to the Savage Land to seek allies, just to prepare for a possible war in the future, because next, I will go to the Millennium Covenant Empire, if I can negotiate with the Millennium Covenant Empire, then I can naturally avoid a war, but if not......"

Sean smiled, then shrugged his shoulders: "If I fight with the Millennium Covenant Empire, what do you think I have a chance of winning?" (To be continued......)
