154. Re-entry into the Wilderness
The Gap Rift was the only way for the Kingdom of Dabion to enter and exit the Savage Land. But since Sean became Baron Panda, he forcibly occupied this passage and forbade the entry and exit of all slave catchers in the Kingdom of Dabiang, which is equivalent to completely killing the economic lifeline of many nobles in Dabiang.
This is also the fuse for Sean to have a complete quarrel with the Darby expensive clan later.
And now, after the Duchy of Lane has been upgraded to a kingdom, and Sean's Void Realm has also been upgraded to the Duchy of the Void, the Gap Rift has become Sean's bag. On more than one occasion, the nobles of Lane and the old Darby Expensive have tried to restore Sean to this passage so that their slave catchers can enter and exit from here. But Sean is naturally impossible to restore this passage, after all, his idea is to form an alliance with the tribes of the Wild Lands, not to oppress them and enslave them.
Therefore, any nobleman wants to continue to capture slaves in the wilderness.
OK.
Sean can't care so much, he's not a savior, and he's going to engage in a slave liberation movement.
But if he wants to capture slaves from his territory, then he can only say sorry. In the new laws of the Void Principality, there is a clear provision that all the citizens of the Void Principality, including nobles, shall not force any free people in the Void Territory to become slaves, and once discovered, they will be punished for treason. It also explicitly prohibits all slave trade, and no merchant is allowed to smuggle slaves or engage in the slave trade in any form within the territory of the Void Duchy.
In other words, even if it's not the people of the Void Duchy. However, if you capture slaves in the wilderness and try to return to the kingdom of Lane through the borders of the Void Principality, you will be executed if you find out. Even if he was a nobleman, he would be put to death. And no ransom is allowed to exchange lives.
It can be said that these laws of Sean are fierce to the extreme.
But the Void Duchy is up to him anyway, and King Lane also gave Sean a free right to military action. So if there are nobles who are not convinced, Sean welcomes them to fight at any time, anyway, the last thing he is afraid of is war. In other words, William wished that there would be battles every day, so that he could use all the wars for military training. Anyway, the private fight with the Ryan nobles must maintain a certain range of restraint, and he is not afraid of any serious casualties.
At this time. Sean, Cecilia, Sheena, Rottikabas, Harding, and Heatley were standing at the final exit of the Gap Rift.
It was the lookout area where the Abyssal Path and the Bloodline Room were buried.
This place has been cleared by a vanguard army sent by William and Neil, and the clergy of the Church of Ice and Winter have also arrived, and the removal work is carried out every day - including the sorting of the ruins and the construction of various foundations. There is also a clean-up of undead creatures every night.
Maybe it's because Sean killed an evil spirit gathering earlier. So there are a lot fewer undead creatures here now. And with the clean-up of the Battle Priest Regiment and the re-purification, the safety factor on the lookout area is now getting higher and higher. Even at night, you don't have to crowd all the bees into the safety of the lookout area, and you can run out a little bit to move.
Looking at this ancient ruin where the work was in full swing, Sean and the others did not stop long, he just said hello to the commander-in-chief who was in charge of the progress of the project here, and then continued to move forward.
After leaving the ancient ruins area. Sean and the others soon came to the Windchaser Tribe.
This was once the area of the Trade Master named Billy, and Shaun had a public argument with the Trade Master here. Many of the slave catchers and residents living in the settlement were well aware of this. However, with the outbreak of the battle to intercept Sean, Rena and Clov once led people to ravage the entire area, so that when Andre led people to occupy this area that should have belonged to the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, no one dared to come out and say anything.
Of course, there are more or less certainly small-scale revolts.
It's just that Andre is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and as an old leader who has been able to lead a slave hunting team for a long time, he knows very well what to do with these locusts. In the past, due to the lack of strength and confidence, most of the time they chose to swallow their anger, after all, what their slave hunting team wanted was money, and only by leaving a small life could they have the time and mind to enjoy these.
But now, André has a special operations unit assigned to him by William, how can he manage so much.
It was just a bloody and tragic purge that made all the people in the gathering point honest, and the series of reforms he implemented in the Wind Chaser tribe after that naturally no one would oppose it. Of course, this kind of reform naturally has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that the entire Wind Chasing Tribe has been completely subtly transformed by Andre, and has gradually been recognized as a part of the Void Realm, and its influence has even covered several other gathering points in the Great Rift Valley that have lost their trade chiefs.
As for the drawbacks, they are just as obvious.
Without the support of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the delivery of various materials has naturally become extremely difficult. So over time, naturally there are no slave hunters who are willing to stay here, and those who are willing to stay are only those who have been injured and can no longer hunt slaves, or who have made up their minds to retire here.
But André didn't care about this, anyway, he followed Neil's instructions, and didn't care about the whereabouts of those people at all. It's just that he knows very well that if Neil's grand plan is really developed, then the people who leave these gathering areas now will probably regret that their bowels are blue.
So, when Sean arrived, he was greeted by a completely renovated Tribe of Windchaser.
And standing at the door of this tribe, or the gathering point, is Andre, who used to be the captain of the slave hunting team. It's just that Andre now looks not only full of energy, but also ruddy, although his strength doesn't seem to have become much stronger, but the awe-inspiring momentum on his body is enough to scare many people.
"Your Lord." Seeing Sean, Andre hurriedly greeted him.
"Lord?" Heatley tilted her head, then looked at Cecilia with some confusion, "Shouldn't you call the Grand Duke?" I remember if Sean hadn't become the Grand Duke of the Void Duchy? ”
Although Heatley's voice was very soft, and Andrei's strength was not very strong, this voice that was not intentionally concealed naturally fell into Andrei's ears. In this way, Andre showed some embarrassment on his face, of course he knew that Sean had been promoted to the Grand Duke, but he had always called Sean as the lord, so he was just used to shouting at this time.
Seeing Andre's embarrassed look, Sean smiled slightly, and then said, "It's okay, just call me lord, anyway, everyone has always shouted like this." Calling the Grand Duke and adding a name also sounds quite troublesome. ”
"Yes." Since they have heard Sean say this, of course Andre will not continue to be hypocritical, for these rough people, they don't know what hypocrisy is, "Lord Lord, I have prepared a meal, let's go back and rest first, and then I will tell you about the recent situation in the Wild Land." ”
Sean was noncommittal about this.
So under Andre's leadership, the group soon went to Andre's residence in the Wind Chasing Tribe. And those residents of the Wind Chasing Tribe who have not moved away due to Andre's reforms, when they see Sean, most of them have a look of awe on their faces, after all, here in the Chasing Wind Tribe in the Wild Land, the confrontation between Sean and Billy is obvious to everyone, and recently, there are not many legendary stories about this "Miracle Lord".
So when really seeing Sean. When Connery, the Grand Duke of the Void, appeared, most people were naturally shocked.
Andre's residence has not become luxurious because of his status adjustment, and it still seems to maintain a very simple style, not like Billy at the beginning, and everyone wants to know that his tent is the best in the entire Windchase tribe. Therefore, when Sean and the others went in, the tent was a little crowded, after all, people like Rotikabas had to occupy a large area.
The wine and food prepared by Andre are all common dishes in the wilderness, and they are not very precious, but it can be seen that they are carefully prepared.
And this kind of meticulousness is not the kind of meticulousness that is to please the superiors, but a preparation that is really carried out out of respect. So this meal, everyone ate very happily, and it can be regarded as a perfect feast.
"How's the intelligence going?" After finishing the meal, when André waved off the servant, Sean asked.
"It's almost certain that the alliances within the Savage Lands are divided, and it's clear that someone is splitting." Andre said in a deep voice, "The Great Red Fire Tribe and the Heavy Rock Tribe have also developed almost now, and their combined strength should be comparable to that of the third-class tribe. ”
Regarding the Great Red Fire Tribe, Sean was not very worried, because he knew that as long as he survived the most difficult first two years, the Great Red Fire Tribe, which merged with the Chongyan Tribe, might be called the Red Rock Tribe now, would usher in a period of rapid development. And then, he only needs to wait patiently, and he can harvest the best fruit of the Chiyan tribe, of course, with the current situation, the Chiyan tribe is still a little greener.
"If it's separatist activities, it's very beneficial to us." Sean thought for a moment before he spoke, "Anyway, our goal is to completely control the Great Rift Valley first and prepare for the next operation. We don't rush anything else...... But what I asked you to investigate, how did the investigation go? ”
"It has been determined, on the side of Hei Mizuzawa, there is indeed a relatively strong reaction." (To be continued......)
