Glancing contemptuously at the native Indian warriors in front of him who were armed with primitive and backward bows, arrows, spears and other weapons, the middle-aged white leader with a full beard saw that the chief wearing the eagle feather crown had also arrived, so he raised his head and said loudly in a haughty tone.

"This is the territory of our American Fur Company! We've been merciful enough for you to allow you to use your furs in exchange for valuable supplies, and you savages dare to resist?! ”

The leader had been dealing with the Indians in the Missouri forest for decades, and spoke fluent Indian, but the content of his words was not friendly in the slightest, but was full of a high-minded, aggressive gesture, like a charity.

"Now, I'm giving you one last chance to take out five hundred beaver skins as compensation for your previous refusal of our American fur company's kindness, and at least two hundred beaver skins per month for material trading in the future!"

The middle-aged white man's words caused all the warriors of the Lakota tribe present to grit their teeth, widen their eyes, and glared at the middle-aged white man viciously.

However, the white leader ignored the murderous gaze of the Indian warriors, and did not even look at Chief Jeronimo's reaction, continuing to speak in his condescending posture.

"If you say yes, then you can continue to live here, and if you choose to refuse, then after today, there will be no more of your tribe in the Missouri Forest!"

In the face of this naked threat, not to mention that all the Indian warriors present were furious and angry, even Chief Geronimo, who had been keeping a straight face and expressionless, couldn't help but flash a trace of anger in his eyes, and a touch of red gradually appeared in his eyes and gradually spread.

Since the last time he traded with Chen Mo, after exchanging the furs he had accumulated again after trading with the American Fur Company some time ago for a large number of very useful new materials, Chief Jerónimo had been thinking about the fresh things in Chen Mo's hands.

With kerosene lamps, it does bring them a lot of convenience, even if it is windy and rainy, they don't have to worry about not being able to illuminate, and they get lost in the forest, or can only sit in a tent like they are blind, but they can't do anything.

A kerosene lamp can illuminate a large space, clearly illuminate the road in the forest, and brighten the entire tent in the tent without worrying about the danger of igniting the tent like a campfire.

And this kerosene lamp is also very durable, once filled with kerosene, it can be used for several days, even if you go out hunting at night, you don't have to worry about extinguishing it in the middle.

One bottle of kerosene is enough for a long time, and only five beaver skins are needed, so they can use them as they please, and they don't have to use them like other expensive consumables they used to buy.

As a result, Chief Jerónimo was even more satisfied with Chen Mo, feeling that Chen Mo's price was fair, and he was not like the crazy oppression and exploitation of American fur companies.

At the same time, Chief Jerónimo was also very much looking forward to Chen Mo's arrival again, so that he could use the large amount of fur that had just accumulated during this time to continue trading with Chen Mo.

However, before Chen Mo came again, he waited for the acquisition team of the American Fur Company.

With Chen Mo, who has a rich variety of materials, high quality and low price, and a fair price, Chief Jerónimo is naturally reluctant to trade with the vampires of the American Fur Company.

There was no choice before, and the American Fur Company had a monopoly on the fur trade in the entire Missouri area, and no other fur merchant would dare venture into the vast forest to trade with them, except for their buying team.

So even if the other party keeps the price of fur extremely low, they have to choose to trade with them in exchange for some useful materials.

However, unlike other tribes, the Lakota tribe does not drink alcohol, so there is no need for consumables such as liquor, but only exchanges fur for some blankets, utensils, knives and other daily necessities.

And the hunters of the Lakota tribe are also very powerful in the entire Missouri area, and there are not a few prey caught every day, even if the American fur company keeps the price of fur very low, they have already exchanged enough living materials.

And their tribe does not like to drink, smoke and other things like other tribes, and has a constant demand for liquor, tobacco and other consumables, so in fact, the things that the American Fur Company traded with them are no longer much needed for them, and in order to limit the strength of the Indians and prevent them from resisting, the American Fur Company will not exchange muskets and other weapons with them.

So the current Lakota tribe doesn't actually need to trade with people from the American fur company, and it was just because of habit and waste utilization, after all, they themselves need to use limited fur, and they usually use large pieces of fur such as bison skin to make clothes and tents, and small pieces of fur such as beaver skins and mink are actually of little use to them.

In the past, there was no Chen Mo, and it was useless for them to keep these furs, so they simply exchanged them for some living materials, but now with Chen Mo and the useful and cheap new items he brought, they naturally would not continue to trade with the American fur company.

It's just that even if they don't need to, these outrageous guys won't allow them to stop trading furs.

So, after the last time they came to buy furs but were rejected and finally found nothing, the American Fur Company quickly organized a larger team to warn and retaliate, and they had to let these Native Americans know who had the final say in this territory!

In the face of the warning of the middle-aged leader of the American Fur Company, Chief Jerónimo's eyes lit up with a raging fire.

If it were other tribes, in this case, they might have succumbed in the face of these thirty or so muzzles, but this is the Lakota tribe, a powerful tribe known throughout the Missouri region, and their warriors are also the bravest and most powerful warriors in the surrounding dozens of tribes, even in the entire Missouri forest, and their faith and pride do not allow them to fear and submit!

If, out of fear, they choose to accept the conditions proposed by the people of the American Fur Company, then they will live in humiliation forever, and they will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives, and it is better to fight to the death than to do that!

The warriors of the Lakota tribe will only die in battle, and will not give in!

Faced with an ultimatum from an armed team sent by the American Fur Company, Chief Geronimo took a spear from his clansmen and walked past the tribal warriors confronting the enemy to the front of the line.
