Chapter 1755: Gilded Foam (I.)

Oddly enough, since the Zion siblings and the young mage appeared, they hadn't been attacked by the sub-giant natives. The tribe of sub-giants passing by on the way to the trip turned out to be quite friendly to them, and tried to sell local products to them, outsiders.

After Audrey's introduction, Eurome realizes that the local sub-giants are not monolithic against immigrants. Some of the sub-giant tribes follow ancient and barbaric traditions, and the sense of xenophobia is so strong that the immigrants cannot communicate with them, but there are some sub-giant villages that have settled near the colonial city, which are relatively civilized, and are not only keen to do business with the immigrants, but also occasionally help the immigrants deal with the goblins and monsters of the wasteland. If a conservative tribe is known to be plotting an attack on a migrant camp, the sub-giants of a friendly tribe will often send a messenger to the camp on horseback to report to the sheriff of the camp in exchange for some reward.

Roland read Urome's letter and was deeply moved. The social ecology of the New World reminded him of a period of history on a pre-Earth journey. In the 17th and 18th centuries, when the North American continent was still a colony of European powers, the local Indian tribes were also divided into different camps, some resolutely resisted European immigration, and did not hesitate to pick up rudimentary weapons against the colonists equipped with elite firearms, and some tribes maintained friendly and cooperative relations with the British and French colonists, which even triggered a fire war between the indigenous tribes. Unfortunately, no matter what camp the natives were, whether they were hostile or friendly to the colonists, they ended up with little good. When Americans celebrate "Thanksgiving" in later generations, most of them don't know who the holiday was originally created for and who they are grateful for, which is really ironic.

Roland does not have the ability to predict the future, but considering that the home countries of the colonists in the New World are mainly Yashan, Fizhen and Hailan, similar to the Netherlands, Britain, and France that colonized the Americas, they are all industrialized powers, and there is an obvious generation gap with the indigenous civilization, and the colonists from the industrial powers suppressed the indigenous barbarians, which is almost a "dimensionality reduction strike", and the sub-giant tribes in the New World are likely to repeat the tragedy of the American Indians on the earth, and most of the living space will be taken away by outsiders, Transformed into a marginal person curled up in a corner of civilized society.

Of course, this question should be viewed dialectically. Roland never forgot to remind himself not to fall into the mistake of "historical empiricism". Varess is different from Earth after all, a world of magic and supernatural powers. The natives of the New World possessed the courage and fierceness of the Indians, and at the same time possessed the superhuman fighting power and the protection of the indigenous gods that the Indians did not have, so they could not only be passively beaten in the struggle against the colonizers, but also had the possibility of establishing a stable indigenous regime.

Roland could not assert the fate of the natives of the New World, but he was sure that sooner or later a full-scale conflict would erupt between the natives and the colonizers.

Roland's hunch was soon validated. On July 28, Antron sent a magical letter in the early hours of the morning. This letter itself means bad news, and Roland couldn't help but change his face after reading it. Just as he feared, the indigenous tribes of the Jotunheim region were joining forces to wage a war aimed at expelling the colonists. At present, nearly 100 tribes have joined this so-called "liberation alliance", almost all of them are radical tribes who hate the colonizers extremely, and the tribes that advocate peace with the colonizers are excluded.

In the letter, Antron revealed that he had learned the news through Audrey and Holden's mage friend, and that by all indications, it was likely to be true. What made him even more uneasy was that there were more powerful forces behind this menacing indigenous coalition, and the frost giant nobles of Wilnoa also participated in the tribal alliance, and even the "divine blood giants" who were high above the iceberg also sent representatives to support the tribal alliance, which means that the military operations that the indigenous tribes are planning have been supported by the giant gods of the New World, and it is conceivable that there will be a large number of frost giant warlords and divine blood giant priests who will appear in the indigenous army to take leadership positions, Organizing the otherwise scattered natives into a disciplined legion would be a formidable adversary for the colonial garrison to ever encounter.

Antron visited the New World for almost a month and did not have a high opinion of the local colonial forces. In terms of troops, equipment level and training, it is far from the regular army of the Far East, and its combat effectiveness is even inferior to that of the Far Eastern militia equipped with the "Wind Spear", this kind of ragtag army can also bully and bully the simple-minded and unorganized indigenous barbarians, and confront the tribal alliance led by the Frost Giant Warlord and the Divine Blood Giant Priest, which is pure hitting a stone with an egg!

Audrey and Holden's young mage friend is really powerful, and they actually got a summary of the battle meeting of the Horde Alliance! Judging from the strategic intentions of the indigenous coalition, their main direction of attack is the Jotunheim Magic Crystal Mine, and it seems that they want to recapture the Magic Crystal Mine from the colonists.

The natives are not stupid, they have long known that the magic crystal is a very valuable resource that can bring them a steady stream of wealth. The strategy to seize the mining area seems reasonable, but it is terrible news for many people! The Imperial Jotunheim Mining Company is at the strategic center of gravity of the Indigenous Alliance, and is their primary target!

In the letter, Antron confessed that with only the little force left by the imperial authorities in the mining company, it was almost impossible to stop the onslaught of the tribal alliance, and once the mining company fell, the consequences would be very serious!

Roland, of course, knew how serious the consequences were. If the mining company was forced to stop production due to the war, the corporate bonds would inevitably be sold off, and the value of the imperial gold banknotes issued against the corporate bonds would also depreciate sharply.

Opening the bedroom window, Roland stood in front of the window and looked out at Krasbourg in the night. At dawn, there are hardly any pedestrians on the streets, and the street lamps on both sides of the street emit a soft glow that illuminates the sleeping city.

Roland took two deep breaths, and his mood gradually calmed down. Just as he was about to return to his desk to reply to Antron, another red ball of light appeared out of thin air in front of him. Roland reached out and grasped the ball of light, read the magic message, and immediately realized that it was sent from the New World by Gropha.
