In the beginning.

Because of the squeezing of Cylius, the colonists of the Sark Empire, who also came to the northern part of the New World to take root, befriended the Iroquois among the natives, and due to various contradictions, they often attacked the tulip colonies together, causing extremely heavy losses.

At that time, the number of pioneers who came here from Tulip soil was too small, and even with sharper weapons, they really suffered a few big losses.

Later, they simply followed suit and began to try to befriend some of the Hurons who were antagonistic to the Iroquois.

Not only did they form alliances, but they also armed them with more advanced weapons, supporting them in their revenge against the Iroquois and the Iroquois colonies of the Sark Empire.

These weapons include steel daggers, battle axes, swords, and most importantly, muskets!

At the same time, they began to conquer some of the smaller tribes in the surrounding area, which were also against the Hurons, and absorbed the weaker ones into the colonial system, mostly used as the labor force at the bottom.

Just like the Anuma chiefs who bought and sold their compatriots in the wars of the Southern Continent, the experienced pioneers were familiar with it.

In the hundreds of years of pioneering history, colonizers and natives have gradually formed a delicate balance in this kind of advance, retreat, confrontation and cooperation.

Even because of this seemingly peaceful policy of absorption and integration, a large number of mixed-race Mastizos were born.

But from Aven's forward-looking experience, this balance will be broken sooner or later as the influx of local personnel continues to pour in and the gap in strength widens.

Race, beliefs, ideas, languages, positions... All kinds of estrangement will eventually push the two sides to the opposite side, just like Sylius, who landed in the New World and did nothing but directly implement the policy of exterminating the country and killing the country.

Until there is only one owner left in the land.

However, we will talk about the future later.

The current situation does not prevent the Trail Blazers from making money.

The current colonial economy is divided into three main parts: the plantations represented by Caginia, which mainly grow tobacco, rice, and indigo (a natural dye, which is used in the navy's dark blue uniforms);

The shipping and shipbuilding industry represented by Yuanfan Ling and Fortun Meng, and the fur trade represented by the central colony of Donglunzhi.

Among them, all kinds of furs with high prices and strong demand in the local area are the most important pillar industries! It is also the most valuable substitute that latecomers have found after missing out on the gold and silver of Syrius!

It is said that the early colonists could exchange ten muskets and corresponding ammunition for a large area of land from a local chieftain or tribal leader.

Although decades later, the natives who have seen the world have learned enough to refrain from doing this kind of loss-making business, the fur exchanged for "trade rifles" is enough to make the fur traders return to their homeland and make a lot of money!

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't go back in a short time, Evan would have wanted to do the same.

It's still very easy to earn a golden lion of about 1,000 for a round trip.

Da Da...

They rode their horses all the way, from the flat roads built by the colonists at the beginning, to the dirt roads in the wilderness, to the paths that hunters walked out.

However, after all, it did not go too deep into the uninhabited area, and although there were some difficulties, it was still possible to let the carriage pass.

After nearly two hours of walking in the early afternoon, they finally arrived at their destination on the edge of a clear river.

This is a tribe of the Hurons, called the Yucatan tribe, and the longhouses made of bark, twigs, and leaves look far more rudimentary and crudely than the wooden houses of the colonists.

Depending on the number of houses, it is estimated that there are about 300 to 400 people in this group. However, according to Necado, this is only a small part of the Yucatan tribe.

Because of environmental carrying capacity, there are also large forces of thousands scattered deep inland.

Most of the furs captured by the entire Yucatan tribe would be concentrated here, and they would trade with the pioneers through this semi-settlement.

Of course, there were many forms of trade, and it is said that dozens of border warehouses were established in the interior of the Sark Empire.

Dedicated to the service of the bravest hunters of the Atrians, the Mountain Visitors, who spent months alone in the wilderness, with the most cherished hides in their hands.

Toot –

Seeing the arrival of the convoy from afar, there were already whistles on the outskirts of the tribe blowing horns.

In an instant, a group of sturdy men with dark brown skin, covered in animal fur and bright fabrics, rushed out of the houses.

Some were armed with bows and arrows, spears, and many more were armed with cold muskets!

If it weren't for the wrong appearance and clothing, people would think that they had come to some immigrant settlement.

In particular, Evan noticed that even the multi-purpose shawl on most of them, called "Reboso", was already a local industrial fabric.

The most important thing is to fully consider the needs of customers, and the patterns on it still belong to the indigenous style. Cotton textiles for fur, this business is doing well!

"Hahaha, my friend, welcome to you!"

Seeing the head of the unignorable size, wearing a gorgeous feather crown and wearing gold and bone ornaments, the lean tribal leader, waved his people back.

Only one was left with dark skin, a tall and robust native warrior who had the same level of strength as Gary had.

He walked out of the camp door and greeted the guests with a smile in his fluent Union.

"Leader Apsova, it's a pleasure to see you!"

Necardo dismounted and hugged each other cordially.

The next step is simple.

The two parties have been familiar with each other for many years.

Employees from the Donglun branch company and the natives of the tribe who are in charge of the transaction count the goods of both sides little by little, inspect, register, unload and load the goods.

Evan didn't have to do any of this, and took Milan and Gary with the director and walked into the longhouse in the center of the tribal leader.

"My friend, it's not easy to see you in person, how long has it been since you last came to trade in person?"

"Hahaha, fat, fat, it's not easy to come out. ”

"I really envy you people of the Phaletis tribe, you don't have to worry about survival. In our tribe, even chiefs cannot enjoy the offerings of other tribesmen in peace except for sacrifices. ”

“.....”

Sitting on a mat made of whole buffalo skin, listening to Necardo chatting with the leader, Evan set his sights on the sturdy warrior sitting next to the leader.

More precisely, it is the totem tattoo on the other party's body, although the lines are simple, but lifelike.

Although the animals tattooed on the body are different from those depicted in the "Eagle Samurai Training Method", the charm is clearly the same.

This is obviously another "totem samurai" inheritance in addition to the "Eagle Samurai"!

"This trip is the right one, they really have a similar transcendent heritage. ”

Evan was secretly happy in his heart, and he was thinking about how to speak.

Staring ——!

The strong native warrior apparently possessed unusually keen senses, or perhaps Evan was too pronounced in his movements, and soon spotted the strange white-skinned young man watching him.

His gaze was directed towards Aven, who was not big, but was born with a sense of oppression from a powerful predator.

The totem of the brown bear on his body also followed the rhythm of his muscles, as if he was about to come back to life.

If an ordinary person were here, he might be scared by this glance, and maybe the timid fart would run away.

Ai Wen didn't react yet, looking at the strength of his life force field, no matter how strong he was, it was only comparable to that of a regular knight. Even if three or five are tied together, it is not enough for me to fight alone.

However, Gary, who was beside Aiwen, saw the other party's somewhat rude "fierce" eyes, and this violent temper instantly glared back in return.

The two of them who were chatting soon noticed a subtle change in the atmosphere around them.

"Uvacaza!"

Interrupting the gaze between the "Brown Bear Samurai" and the guests next to him, Apsova noticed the new faces that had come with Neccardo, and their unusual appearances.

In particular, Gary, who was about the same size as the strongest warrior under his command, followed the very simple concept of "big is strong" among the natives, and his face was slightly solemn and asked Neccardo:

"My friend, who are these?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Captain Aven, a naval officer from our kingdom of Faletis, and the two next to him are officers on Captain Aven's ship.

They had just arrived in the New World and wanted to meet some Indigenous friends. I heard about your hospitality, and I came with me to visit. ”

Although he was only a civilian official, it did not mean that Necardo knew nothing about the affairs of the transcendental.

As he spoke, he glanced at Ai Wen, signaling that although the other party's equipment was backward, the samurai under his command were extremely strong, and it was best not to cause any misunderstanding.

Although Evan was very interested in their "Totem Samurai" heritage, he was not prepared to rob it.

Since the lineage varies from tribe to tribe, it should be possible to find a way to trade the lineage of their rival races.

After all, the civil war had been going on for countless years before the colonists arrived, and this kind of thing should not be left out. Maybe it's a good deal, but it's very possible to get several copies at once.

"Leader Apsova, it's rude.

The first time we came to the New World, we had never seen a warrior as powerful as this gentleman, and we couldn't help but take a few more looks.

When we meet for the first time, we will smile at a small gift!"

Saying that, Ai Wen handed the other party a beautiful long box, and if he wanted to take it, he had to give it first, and he still understood this truth. When the gift is sent, it is naturally easy to talk later.

Unaware that the young man had set his sights on the leader of his own inheritance, his face gradually softened when he saw the gift handed over by the other party.

There was no politeness and reserve of civilized people, and the box was opened directly in front of him.

Bang Bang –

At the same time, the young man was heard speak softly;

"Unlike ordinary standard muskets, this Hawkens rifle is 0.81 meters long, weighs 4 kilograms, and has a caliber of .54, which can repel a grizzly bear with a single shot! ”

The leader gently stroked the glossy walnut holder of the musket, the brass serpentine decoration on the left side of the barrel, and the shiny barrel. Even if you don't fire a shot, judging from your appearance, you know that this is a good gun!

Gently close the lid and carefully place it beside you.

The middle-aged leader's face was already full of smiles, and since he decided to trade with these distant visitors, wasn't it just for a better life? weapons, iron pots, fabrics... The days that change with each passing day can always make people feel comfortable.

"We Yucatans are very direct.

Although I have never seen such a musket, it does not prevent me from estimating its value.

Young people, please say what you want, and we will not be stingy in return. ”

"Hahaha, Apsova chieftain, indeed...."

Bang –

The wooden door was slammed open, interrupting Aven's words.

"Chief, the hunting party is back, something has happened!"
