Chapter 549: Annexation
When they first came into contact with Hathaway, although they were also impressed by her eloquence, several Green Elf leaders subconsciously thought that they were ...... How capable can a little girl who has been frustrated since childhood, even if she has studied in the elite academy of mankind?
Much of the Cordillera's success over the years may have been attributed to the officials who were in charge of the specifics of the territory. But now Karachi and Hammond swore a curse in their stomachs that they would never deal with the girl in front of them again, and they would never trust her word again!
When she signed the covenant, she said a beautiful and sweet word, but now it has become a poison - nearly 10,000 green elf warriors have become a sharp weapon in her hands, and this method is too bad!
But this is the case, and it is too vain for the weak to try to restrain the behavior of the other party through morality in front of the strong. Even Karachi and Hammond knew that it was almost impossible to do that, but it was too much for them to go back with their tails between their legs like this.
At present, the nearly 10,000 green elves supported by the tribe for three days have been incorporated into the Green Forest Corps of the Cordillera City Defense Army...... This is not the point, the important thing is that in the face of good treatment and high collective honor, these green elf warriors who have been running for survival for a long time have long left behind the old tribal concept.
Although Hathaway readily agreed to the request of the tribal leaders for three days, she also made her own request - the leaders could bring back the warriors of their own tribe, but the premise was that the other party was willing and could not be coerced for various reasons.
In the beginning. Karachi and Hammond thought that the other party was just trying to hide their face, but when they arrived at the barracks, they found that except for a few henchmen who were willing to return to the tribe, the other warriors tried all kinds of excuses to prevaricate, and finally received a reply that unless the lord ordered the disbandment of the Green Forest and let them go home, they must abide by the warrior's promise to stay in this fascinating army.
Karachi and Hammond's encounter with the Greenwood Corps was a source of great joy for Hathaway, but it was also expected.
Needless to say, the material treatment of the Cordillera City Defence Force is self-explanatory. In addition to the education that deliberately reinforces the sense of collective honor. The troops respect the details according to the customs and religious beliefs of different ethnic groups.
All this thoughtful and meticulous care, like a spring breeze and rain, made these green elf soldiers gradually dilute the concept of race. In turn, it condensed into a sense of collective belonging of the army. Plus a good treatment compared to life in the deep mountains and old forests. I don't know how many times better. In the face of such a huge contrast, it is obviously unrealistic to expect the leaders to give up their current lives with just a few empty promises. And man is precisely the most realistic animal...... Even elves are no exception.
"Lord Hathaway, it's chilling for you to do this, what are you going to do?"
Discouraged, Karachi took a deep breath, he had already exchanged opinions with Hammond, Siwell's opinions were now negligible, that guy had reached some kind of secret agreement with Hathaway, and it could be said that it was his betrayal that would have driven the two tribes to such a point.
"No, no, you're wrong, Chief Karachi, I'm safe to do what we agreed, you can take your soldiers, but they also have the right to refuse, I have a reservation about that. I have never understood why you and the Hammond Chiefs have such a deep prejudice against me or the Cordillera, is it the Cordillera that has hurt your interests, or is it my actions that have terrified you?
I really can't figure out what I've done wrong, but if you look at the lives of your ordinary Green Elves and the lives of the Green Elves who are now part of the Cordillera, you should be able to see a huge difference between the two. Although they have been annexed to the Cordillera, we have not destroyed them in terms of religious remoteness and customs.
I still have that point of view, the so-called 'customs' that are wrong, outdated, and hinder the development of the Green Elf tribe, don't do it, this is my opinion, and the change in the spiritual outlook of the Green Elves is not enough to explain everything? But why are you so stubborn in rejecting my kindness? ”
Hathaway paused for a moment before adding: "As for what I plan to do, I seem to have vaguely mentioned to the two of you before, my goal is very ambitious, and I hope that I will have many friends to share the fruits of this victory, and I will prove it to everyone, so that they can feel that they are not wrong to follow in my footsteps, and their gains are definitely worthy of their efforts."
Leader of Karachi, Chief of Hammond, what are you pursuing? Is it to bring the people of the tribe to live in the mountains full of dangers for generations? Have you forgotten that the ancestors of the Green Elves also lived in civilized societies beyond the mountains? This is different from the past, if you take the initiative to enter the human society, I am afraid that you will encounter greater resistance, but the tribe can return to civilization with the Cordillera in three days, and you are also very aware of the racial policy I implemented in the Cordillera, and the existence of racial barriers will never be allowed. ”
Hathaway's provocative gestures and impassioned words seem convincing, but they don't work much for sophisticated people like Karachi and Hammond. They just stared coldly at Hathaway's performance until Hathaway stopped feeling bored.
"Lord Hathaway, we don't want to hear your rhetoric, we need something realistic. Please tell me, what do you want to do now? What more could you ask of us? What do we get? ”
With a tired look, Hammond said coldly, "We're not interested in listening to your ideas, and we're not doing this because we like you or support you, we're just thinking about the interests of our respective tribes. To put it simply, we were dragged onto this chariot by you, and the car was so fast that it hurt many people, and we can't get out of it now. ”
Hathaway was stunned when she heard this, and then she couldn't help laughing, this old elf is so interesting, and it is really rare that this kind of cold humor can come out of his mouth. Frank and straightforward...... It's real, and it's calm and rational at the same time.
"Well, Chief Hammond has said this, and it would be unkind for me to hide it any longer. It's very simple, I'm going to conquer the provinces of Atlanta and North Carolina, and I don't need you to think about anything else, but if the Greenforest Legion is full, I think I'll need 4,000 men, plus the corresponding Wind Bird Knights and Griffin Knights. ”
"Kind? Lord Hathaway, find this word in your vocabulary. What a strange thing! ”
Karachi couldn't help but sneer at the other party. "From the very beginning of my contact with you, I never felt that you had the slightest connection to the word."
Hammond's face turned gloomy, "Lord Hathaway, you might as well just announce that you want to annex our Tribe for three days. ”
Hathaway thought solemnly. Slowly, he said, "Chief Hammond." My words may not be so good. But I still have to say it, if it's really as you say, I want to benefit the entire Tribal People of the Three Days. And what you have lost is just some insignificant superficial aura, but you will be emotionally difficult to accept for a while, of course, if you can't accept it, I didn't say it, but I hope you can ponder it when you have time. ”
Hathaway's merciless words suddenly tore the veil that had been hanging between the two sides, and it was both expected and somewhat unexpected to uncover it in this way.
"Two leaders, please listen to me."
See Karachi. Hammond and the others gasped like bullfights, and Hathaway made a reassuring gesture to signal the two not to get excited: "Don't be in a hurry to make any decisions, you can go and see how the tribes of green elves who have come over live first." I would like to give you three suggestions: first, like those tribes, set up collective farms, although somewhat scattered, but relatively speaking, the living conditions will not become too bad; the second is to build a green elf city, surrounded by some township farms that maintain farming, fishing and animal husbandry; The third is to continue to live in the mountains, with the export of goods, labor, and combat, and then exchange for various living materials, this is the most conservative way, I hope you will seriously consider it, and do not refuse for the sake of refusal. ”
Karachi and Hammond walked the streets of Mandi Gaza with gloomy expressions on their faces.
The rejection of the return of the soldiers was expected by them, but they never expected that Hathaway would directly expose her intention to annex the Tribe for Three Days, which made it difficult for the two leaders to accept it for a while.
But as Hammond himself said, they are now tied to the Cordillera's chariot, and the Green Elf Alliance has faintly excluded the Three Days Tribe, and then the tribes that follow the behavior of the Three Days Tribe are also more and more, and they are getting bigger and bigger, which also provokes the stubborn tribes in the Tribal Alliance to be extremely hostile to the Three Days Tribe. It was this opening from the Three Days Tribe that would cause such an uncontrollable consequence, and now if you want to go back to the past, it will never be possible.
The bustling scenery of Mandy Gaza was completely unfelt in the eyes of the two of them, because they now had mixed feelings.
It must be said that this Lord Hathaway is a very capable fellow, and just making Cordillera what it is now in a few years is not something that a group of people can do.
However, just because she can lead the Cordillera out of the predicament, it doesn't mean that she can bring the entire Tribe out of the predicament, and the independent racial existence and folk culture of the Green Elves will also gradually infiltrate and eventually disappear with the help of human civilization and the invasion of the economy?
Many questions both had to think farther, Hathaway's ...... exchanging the wealth of all the people for the false aura behind the two made the self-esteem of the two leaders very hurt.
Ask yourself, Karachi and Hammond think that they are not selfish people, and they are also exhausted and painstaking for the development of their tribe, but the improvement of the poor living environment of the green elves needs to be exchanged for such a price, which can't help but make the two of them undecided.
Are independence and abundance really opposites and incompatible?!
Karachi's painful thinking is not incompatible, but in this world where humans occupy the absolute mainstream, it seems that for the green elves, it seems that they cannot coexist. Especially around Hathaway, this possibility is even more remote...... What this lord is best at is pushing people into a desperate situation step by step, and the green elves have to make a hard choice.
Hammond was also in pain, the instability within the Ga tribe had been revealed, Hathaway was definitely not as upright as she appeared, and Sivir was pushing the flames on the side, adding a lot of risks, and Hammond was not in love. But he didn't want to run away because of such ugly means, all of which forced Hammond not to make this trip, and he had to make a choice no matter what the outcome was.
"Karachi, what do you think?"
"What do you want to say?" Karachi asked rhetorically
"Hathaway is strong, not just for her strength, but for her intelligence. Her ability to control and bring many different people together into a complete whole, cohesive and energetic whole, is what he is capable of, and we cannot deny this. ”
Hammond collected his thoughts as he said: "Three days the tribe is both unfortunate and fortunate, unfortunately to meet such a powerful neighbor, the result is either subjugation or annexation, fortunately to be a part of it, our people can enjoy a good life, but at the same time they may lose themselves. ”
"A hundred years from now, how many people will still realize that they are green elves?" Karachi smiled wryly and asked, "Are we worried about the sky or are we planning ahead?" ”
"I don't know." Hammond also casually responded, "The world is too complicated, I'm getting older, and I'm getting more and more unable to adapt"
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
