Chapter 20: Discussion of Exchange
However, this negotiation has come at a cost.
The importance of intelligence can reflect the size of the Dark Hall.
Gu Chu wanted to get the other two patriarchs to support Gu Rou to take power in the dark hall for free, it was definitely impossible to do it, if he demanded it strongly, it might make the Black Rhino Patriarch and the Hundred-Foot Patriarch lose their hearts about him.
That's more than worth the loss.
For Gu Chu, the Black Rhino Tribe and the Hundred Foot Tribe were able to join the Greedy Wolf Alliance when it was just beginning, and they were already the core tribes of the Greedy Wolf Alliance, and they were very close to each other, and this relationship would last for a long time, and Gu Chu was willing to let their relationship last for a long time.
To tell the truth, his relationship with the Black Rhino Patriarch, both on the surface and in private, is very good, therefore, the Black Rhino Patriarch is also very close to calling him "Brother Gu Chu", and Gu Chu is also willing to call the Black Rhino Patriarch "Brother Heiwei".
Because the real name of the black rhino patriarch is called Heiwei.
After some discussion, the Black Rhino Patriarch was willing to give up the dominant power of the Dark Hall, but he put forward two requirements, one is that there must be people from the Black Rhino Tribe in this Dark Hall, and the other is the Torture Hall that will be formed next in the early days, and the elder of the ruling clan must be his son, Hei Xiao!
Let Hei Xiao serve as the elder of the ruling clan of the torture hall?
Although the role of the torture hall for this stage is not great, but it must not be without, otherwise the rules of the alliance will only be a superficial effort for a large number of clansmen, with the strict control of the torture hall, the entire greedy wolf alliance can act according to the rules, which is of great help to the stability of the entire greedy wolf alliance!
After all, not everyone has made a blood alliance.
The people who swear the oath of the blood alliance are all high-level, and ordinary warriors are not qualified to make a blood alliance, and there are only rules to manage them.
The role of the torture hall is to defend the rules and regulations of the Allied forces, and at the same time severely crack down on criminals who commit adultery and endanger the interests of Allied soldiers and ordinary people.
At the same time, the Torture Chamber also has an important responsibility, which is to eradicate traitors and deserters.
Although the probability of these two appearing in the Northern Plains is much lower than that of the other four domains, there are still some of them, and when traitors and deserters appear, the torture hall is equivalent to a military tribunal in the early ancient world, which is used to punish these people.
Regarding the request of the black rhino patriarch to let his son serve as the head of the torture hall, Gu Chu thought about it for a while, and then agreed, and at the same time said his request, that is, to arrange some people from the greedy wolf tribe in the torture hall.
Departments like the Dark Hall and the Torture Hall that are about to be formed are too large, and the three tribes will send some of their own people to join in the Dark Hall and the Torture Hall, so as to balance the control power of the three families over this Hall, otherwise if the Dark Hall or the Torture Hall are occupied by the greedy wolf clan and the Black Rhino clan, then it will be too unfair to the other two parties, and there will be many cracks in cooperation in the future.
For example, in the dark hall where Gu Rou is in power, the black rhino patriarch plans to send more than a dozen good hands from his own tribe into it to work for the dark hall, and also work for the black rhino tribe.
This is enough.
Therefore, when Gu Chu proposed to send some greedy wolf clansmen into the torture hall, the black rhino patriarch agreed without thinking about it, and he naturally would not refuse this request, so the cooperation between the two parties was successful.
As for the Hundred-Footed Patriarch, in addition to adding his own family members to the Dark Hall and the Torture Hall, he also mentioned the trade and other aspects he was in charge of.
It turned out that this battle with the Barbarian Bear tribe had caused his hundred-foot tribe warriors to lose more than half, and the losses were the heaviest of the three tribes.
Although there are thousands of ordinary people in the Hundred-Foot Tribe, and the population development in the Allied Headquarters has also improved, and dozens of Hundred-Foot Tribesmen who are enough to become warriors have been selected to fill the loopholes, but for the Hundred-Foot Patriarch, there are still too few warriors under his command.
If you don't count the newly replenished hundred-legged warrior recruits, the number of warriors under his command now is less than two hundred, which is only half of the warriors of the Black Rhino Tribe and the Greedy Wolf Tribe
At the same time, the Hundred-Foot Tribe is relatively backward in all aspects of people's livelihood, and before forming an alliance, the strength of the Hundred-Foot Tribe can be described as very weak, and it is bullied by the herd, so it has limitations in population.
The ordinary clansmen of the hundred-foot tribe are also the least of the three, only eight hundred, of which thirty percent are still old people, young people, teenagers and women account for a relatively small proportion, and the number of warriors who can be replenished in the future can also be said to be even rarer....
Therefore, the condition proposed by the hundred-legged patriarch is to give priority to the supply of people's livelihood to the hundred-legged tribe, after all, the strength of the greedy wolf alliance is quite strong now, and the surrounding beast herds are no longer the opponents of the greedy wolf alliance, so there has been no beast herd to take the initiative to find death, and natural disasters have not happened, and the three major tribes of the greedy wolf alliance are still living a relatively comfortable life.
In this way, a major problem is revealed, that is, the population of the three families is too small, and the black rhino tribe, which has the largest population, has only more than 1,200 ordinary clansmen, excluding the tribal warriors.
These populations are simply not enough to support the large-scale war of the greedy wolf alliance, once the soldiers are lost too quickly and there is not enough population transformation, it will form a situation where the tribal warriors are scarce, such as the current hundred-foot tribe, it is at this moment that their clansmen are few, and the warriors are even more scarce.
This situation made the three tribes very anxious, and the hundred-legged patriarch was even more anxious like burning his eyebrows, but there were less than two hundred warriors under his command!
Although the Greedy Wolf Tribe and the Black Rhino Tribe have a larger population, they are also much larger, because they cannot replace the dead warriors in this war.
This exposes one of the problems of the lack of background of the greedy wolf alliance, although the greedy wolf alliance has the existence of wolves under the command of the ancient beginning, and its combat power is comparable to that of large tribes, but the population of large tribes is hundreds of thousands or millions, and they can support them to go through one war after another without falling.
However, after this big battle, the greedy wolf alliance will not be able to make up for all the sacrificed soldiers, so it will form a loophole, and it will definitely be targeted by the enemy in the future war of attrition.
The Greedy Wolf Alliance has long been aware of this problem, and Gu Chu also understood the abnormal prosperity of the Allied Army, so he also made preparations for the expansion of the population early.
One of the most striking examples is to occupy the foundation of the former Jackal Dog Tribe, and expand it here to form the headquarters of the Greedy Wolf Alliance, with this headquarters, the surrounding beasts are emptied, and if there is no external threat, the population of the three tribes will increase rapidly in a certain period of time.
The second is the purchase of female slaves.
The slave trade was prevalent in the Northern Plains, and the benefits of the slave trade were even greater than those of the regular trade, and the population of many defeated tribes would be sold by the victorious tribes, and these people would also become slaves, and female slaves were the most sought-after, because it was known that female slaves could be bought to increase the population of their own tribe.
However, there are no tribes or allies near the Greedy Wolf Alliance that specialize in selling slaves, so this section is destined to have nothing to do with the Greedy Wolf Alliance.
