Chapter 111 Bribe money (910)

The four major tribes of Sequoia aboriginals are naturally named after the four major totem masters, namely Mountain Tide, Tree Sea, Tenglan, and Mist Nest.

Originally, the four major groups fought against the ritual, each occupying a place, attacking and killing each other, very happy, until the imperial immigration group stepped in and joined this happy family of killing each other.

Undoubtedly, compared to the redwood forest natives who entertained themselves and killed themselves in a small corner, the imperials who conquered each other with many warcraft aliens and other countries in the great world of Terra were better at this.

They are professional!

Under the impact of the imperial knights with superb slaughter skills, the four major warriors were almost killed, one of the five totem masters died, and three were seriously injured. Only the big redwood forest and sea of trees were hidden behind because they could not move. So it didn't suffer much damage.

Although the imperial immigration group also suffered heavy losses, they still established a fortress, built a city wall with continuous imperial support, set up an artillery unit, built a strong network of towers and sentry towers, and firmly controlled it with satellite fortresses and villages and towns. The area that was originally an offshore highland was eventually created today's Harrison Port.

Over the past few decades, due to the emergence of powerful enemies, the four tribes that were originally enemies have a vague tendency to unite again... Now, the Shanchao tribe has completely integrated the Forest and Sea tribe, and the Wuchao tribe has lost its totem master. , but in name they have the names of the four major tribes, but in fact they are just a slightly larger and special medium-sized tribe.

Only the Tenglan tribe, because they live by the sea, are very different from other aborigines who settled in the redwood forest. The totem masters worshiped are the two giant eels, the spirit of Tengchao and the spirit of drum waves. In terms of aspects, it is not inferior to the Mountain Tide Department, which has the spirit of the mountain tide and the spirit of the sea of trees.

But after all, giant eels cannot land, so they are still at a disadvantage.

Originally, under the authority of the great shaman, the two parts could barely integrate under the authority of the great shaman.

But now, when the great shaman and the spirit of the mountain tide are recuperating from serious injuries together, the Tenglan Department, which has been vaguely suppressed by the Mountain Tide Department, has a different heart.

"...Viscount Grant has secretly reached an agreement with the Tenglan Department. As long as the two giant eels don't block the merchant ships and help drive away the surrounding sea beasts, they are willing to help the aborigines build a sea caravan and trade with Canaan Moore and Whale Song Cliff together..."

"As long as the Tenglan Department is willing to join the empire, Viscount Grant is even willing to apply for the qualification of an 'autonomous region' to the empire for them!"

Whispering the information he heard, Wiggs was full of disbelief at this time, and subconsciously exclaimed: "No wonder Harrison Port has recently vigorously developed maritime tradehe is really a talent!"

To be honest, Wiggs originally looked down on Viscount Grant a little... just a country nobleman, so what if he is at the same level as himself?

It is nothing more than the family's aether armament. In a real fight, he is not afraid of the opponent at all!

But now it seems that the opponent is really good at governing the territory and coordinating vertically and horizontally. He actually united with the natives without saying a word, opened up business routes, and even slowly transferred the power of these natives through trade. Slowly digest and absorb!

I only have multiple psychic abilities, and I can't compare with the other party in terms of professional management.

But here lies the problem.

Could it be that the aboriginal invasion was really a play by Viscount Grant and the Tengchao Department? !

Weggs frowned in thought.

On the surface, the aborigines integrated all their forces and launched a full-scale attack on Harrison Port. As a result, the Tenglan Department did not work hard. Not only did the totem masters not move, even the sea beasts did not drive them away. Only the Mountain Tide Department suffered heavy losses, which led to the current silence , a party goodwill Harrison Port.

The Tenglan tribe, who already had a blood feud with each other, teamed up with their new enemy to trick the old enemy, and now they are about to turn the enemy into a friend.

Viscount Grant's hard work in defending the city also highlights the difficult situation here, and the lord cannot be replaced. For the sake of stability, the imperial capital can only continue to send strong support and continue to support him Ayers Grant as the governor!

Win numb. Viscount Grant won twice, Tenglan won once, they always win, only Shanchao loses!

"In that case, Tenglan Department's income is a bit small, and it doesn't look like a partner... Maybe it's the viscount's tricks. It seems that no one should be underestimated."

Wiggs' eyelids twitched when he wanted to understand the whole line, and he felt a headache now: "It's no wonder these scouts don't want to take me to scratch my tongueit's the honeymoon period between Port Harrison and these natives, dare to go against this general trend , the relationship between the two parties may not be affected, but they will definitely be severely punished by the Viscount!"

It is not surprising that the whole family was killed, and it is not easy to threaten these scouts with their lives.

"Forget it, let's go."

The knight withdrew helplessly, and signaled the scouts to get out of the way: "What the hell, it's really troublesome people out of poor mountains and rivers."

Although he still has some doubts about the script of 'Viscount Grant's connection to the Tenglan Department's Dark Pit and Mountain Tide Department two years ago', it is impossible for these scouts to lead him under the current situation: "Go back and tell Viscount Grant to rest assured. I won't say anything, I know the rules, let him give me 800 taler to clear the debt, add another 500, and I'll give him an excellent grade.

"Don't worry that I don't mean what I say. This is my knight's nameplate and seal. The evaluation form is in the mezzanine of my room bag. Let the Viscount write his own evaluation and return it to me with Thaler."

To tell the truth, there might be eight hundred of these frontier nobles and military leaders who secretly collude with the barbarians, support the bandits, and defraud the imperial capital for aid.

Originally, the imperial capital thought that the brutal killing here at Port Harrison could not be a fake, so the aid was very sincere, but the Grant family did not expect that it would be very good.

Reporting it must be a credit, and the Grant family will definitely be transferred away. After all, Harrison Port was only given to them by the late emperor to manage it, not an "actual fiefdom"... Theoretically, this place is still directly under the imperial capital.

But why did he bother? Not to mention the feud, maybe within ten minutes after these scouts went back, Viscount Grant brought his guards, artillery and ether weapons down from the sky, and wanted to kill him at all costs!

It is better to take the initiative to accept bribes. Everyone has a clue to each other and each exposes itthis is considered normal. Eight out of ten nobles do this, and the other two are seduced.

Eight hundred talers is indeed a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but for patrol knights like him, it is just a year's basic salary, not too much or less, full of sincerity.

"It is... my lord..."

The scouts looked at each other in amazement, and then slowly backed awayof course they knew that things were going to be difficult now, although they didn't know why the patrolling knight guessed the secret they were strictly guarded, but in any case, they definitely You have to suffer a lot.

The other party's extortion for bribes is actually a kind of salvation.

Immediately, all the scouts retreated and dispersed, and disappeared into the vast forest in a short while.

Only the black-haired knight stayed where he was, frowning.

Now it seems that it might not be the two behemoths that my mentor blocked?

"But it's not right."

Weggs muttered to himself: "If Viscount Grant is really so powerful, how can the natives of the Redwood Forest threaten Harrison Port?"

"Although the logic makes sense...but the intelligence is still insufficient."

Shaking his head, the knight frowned.

His original idea was to go to the Tenglan Department to grab his tongue and find out why their two totem master giant beasts did not dispatch during the indigenous war two years ago, and cooperated with the mountain master to attack Harrison Port.

But now, it is no longer necessary.

"Forget it, let's install a few 'imprints'."

Shaking his head, Wiggs will not be disappointed because of this. On the contrary, he now has a new speculation.

Since the relationship between Harrison Port and the natives is not bad in secret, there must be a lot of smuggling and trading in private.

My mentor didn't deal with the imperial people, but maybe he had contact with the natives?

"Go plant a few imprints and see if you can get some new information from the natives."

Now that Viscount Grant has started hooking up with the natives, it shouldn't be a problem for him to go around.

"I hope I can gain something."

Thinking of this, Wiggs set off and arrived at the western coast of Nanling.

The blue sky is like washing, the blue sea is surging, flocks of gulls are spreading their wings in the sky, and schools of fish are wandering in the offshore.

The waves of emerald green waves beat quietly along the coast in the wind. It is so beautiful that anyone who sees the South China Sea for the first time will be shocked by its charm and be moved by it.

Originally, Wiggs, who had just arrived at the coast, wanted to admire him.

But what happened on the coast made him completely lose interest.

It was a meal.

An indigenous meal.

Once, other 'people' are also used as food, and the 'feast' tied to the grill!
