Chapter 70: Two Choices
"Welcome, Lord Martin, I wonder what you have to do here?"
Sun Licheng greeted him with a smile. Martin on the other side jumped off the elk in a dashing way.
"Haha, of course I'm bringing you good news. ”
Martin said with a smile, handed the reins in his hand to the subordinates next to him, and then walked over and gave Sun Licheng a warm hug, which caught Sun Licheng off guard.
"There's news about your formation of a tribe?"
Just when Sun Licheng wondered if Martin had other tendencies, Martin's words made him happy all of a sudden.
"Tell me about it. ”
Sun Licheng asked eagerly.
Martin waved his hand and said with a smile, "That's how you entertain guests? ”
Sun Licheng suddenly realized, patted his head, apologized with a smile, and then led a group of deer cavalry into the small camp. At this time, the little cabbage had already rushed over with people and was ready to start boiling water.
After a while, Martin, who had taken a sip of hot water, told the story. It turned out that the Xingyue tribe had agreed with Sun Licheng to form his own tribe, and notified the entire Moon Alliance, and the other tribes of the alliance did not raise objections, and the matter was considered to be completed.
"So, Your Excellency Sun Licheng, oh, now you should call Patriarch Sun Licheng, you have to go with me to the Xingyue Tribe, and choose a place where your tribe will settle. ”
Martin looked teased after saying that.
"Uh, does the location of the tribe still have to be specified?"
Sun Licheng was a little puzzled.
Martin nodded, and said, "Of course, if you settle down casually, it is easy to encroach on other people's territory, and then there will be war." Therefore, the settlement of a new tribe must be designated by the Moon Alliance, this is the rule, you should understand. ”
Of course Sun Licheng understands, this is a monopoly of power, and it is also a declaration of dominance, as the leader of the alliance, it is understandable for the Xingyue tribe to do this.
"Okay, so when are we on our way?"
After thinking about it, here Sun Licheng agreed to go to the Xingyue Tribe.
"Depart early tomorrow morning. Treat us to a meal that you are good at in the evening. I've heard that your cooking tastes delicious, and we're going to enjoy it today. Patriarch Sun Licheng, no opinion", after saying that, Martin laughed, and the deer cavalry around him also looked expectant.
For Martin's request, Sun Licheng will of course meet them, and he decided to make them a big black fish dinner.
After Sun Licheng's many experiments and improvements, he has a lot of experience in the treatment of big black fish, and the broken jade in his hand is very sharp, and it is even more refreshing to cut the fish meat, and soon a sashimi is served.
Although he couldn't find green mustard, Sun Licheng found several other spicy seasonings in the woods, and the flavor was even better than that of green mustard.
The deer cavalry were very puzzled and followed Sun Licheng's instructions, put the thin fish fillet in the condiment and dipped it twice, and then put it into their mouths with some uncertainty, and then their eyes widened.
"Delicious, delicious!", Martin exhaled, exclaimed, and pounced on the sashimi plate, and several of his men were immediately conquered by the sashimi.
After a while, Martin, who had finished eating sashimi, saw Sun Licheng bring in a large grilled fish with a fork, which was full of aroma, and his saliva immediately flowed.
In the eager eyes of everyone, Sun Licheng used broken jade to cut the grilled fish meat into the bowl in front of everyone one by one, looking at the roasted golden fish, Martin didn't care about the heat, so he grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth.
"It's delicious!It's delicious!!
After eating sashimi and grilled fish, Sun Licheng finally brought them a large clay pot of fish head cakes. The head of the big black fish was very large, and of course Sun Licheng couldn't cook it whole, but he put the essence of the fish brain and other parts into it to boil it into juice, and then poured it on the tapioca cake, and the taste almost made the goblins eat their tongues.
Seeing that Martin and the others were intoxicated, Sun Licheng asked the question that he had already prepared: "Martin, why do you want to fight with the goblins?"
Martin was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "How do I know, it has been like this for thousands of years anyway, and no one has told us why." It's just that we know that we must not allow goblins to enter the Moon Alliance, otherwise our entire clan will be completely finished. ”
"Are the goblin slaves in the Moon Alliance prisoners of war? ”
Sun Licheng raised another question.
Martin laughed when he heard this, put down the bowl, and began to explain to Sun Licheng.
It turned out that these goblins were not as kind as Sun Licheng imagined. Because the goblins have been in control of Full Moon Canyon, their troops are able to often go out and raid the goblin villages on the opposite side, and even raid the goblin camp. According to Martin, this can effectively disrupt the enemy's military offensive deployment, but of course, what is their actual starting point? Sun Licheng did not want to delve into it. In short, through looting, the goblins recovered a lot of slaves and supplies. Of course, these actions sometimes fail and some people die, but dead people are a common thing for goblins whose living conditions are extremely bad, but slaves can work for themselves, and in the eyes of Martin and others, they are all earned!
"Okay, isn't this just Grass Valley?"
Sun Licheng said secretly in his heart.
"Hey, I think goblin women are ugly!"
Sun Licheng asked another question that he was particularly concerned about.
Martin, who was tearing a piece of grilled fish, nodded, and after swallowing the fish, he said, "It's ugly, they've been abandoned by the gods, so it's only going to get uglier and uglier." We goblins aren't interested in them anyway. However, these women are well managed with sticks, and they are still quite capable of working. ”
Seeing that he couldn't ask for any useful information, Sun Licheng laughed with Martin and the others and had dinner, and they had a good night.
Early the next morning, Sun Licheng rode the wolf king with dog meat, and Martin set off.
Because they were all cavalry, their speed was very fast, and it took less than three days to reach the Xingyue tribe.
When he arrived at the Xingyue Tribe, Sun Licheng, who was accustomed to seeing modern metropolises, sighed, as the leader of the Moon Alliance, the strength of the Xingyue Tribe was really super strong!
The scope of the Xingyue tribe is very large, in addition to the main camp, there are small villages everywhere, dotted around, Sun Licheng estimates that there are at least tens of thousands of people. When he arrived at the main village, Sun Licheng found that this village was much more formal than that built by other tribes, not only with wooden walls, but also filled with rammed earth in the middle and on both sides, which had a good fire prevention and impact prevention effect. On the wall, a large number of goblin warriors in leather armor patrolled back and forth, each carrying a bow and arrow behind them, looking very alert.
Moreover, Sun Licheng saw that many goblin warriors were vigorous and didn't seem to be engaged in any production activities, and it was estimated that these were all off-duty soldiers of the Xingyue Tribe.
"Being able to raise so many full-time soldiers, the strength of the Xingyue tribe is indeed very strong!"
Sun Licheng secretly praised in his heart.
In a large room, Adolf met with Sun Licheng.
Adolf was very welcoming, and after a few pleasantries, he led him to the tribal chamber. Here, the old patriarch of the Xingyue tribe and the Great Witch are discussing things, and the old patriarch is none other than Adolf's mother.
"Welcome, Patriarch Sun Licheng. ”
Adolf's mother was very kind and spoke very softly, giving the impression of an old lady next door. But Sun Licheng keenly caught the essence that kept flashing in the old patriarch's eyes, and said in his heart: "If there is a son, there must be a mother, this old guy is also an old man with a black belly." That is, Martin is too young and has not yet cultivated to his home, otherwise it would be really difficult for the family to deal with the smiling tiger. ”
After seeing his mother's words, Adolf introduced Sun Licheng to the great witch of his tribe. Unlike the old patriarch's kindness and kindness, Dawu seemed very arrogant and didn't pay much attention to Sun Licheng.
Of course Sun Licheng will not be angry at the cold reception of the other party, the weak have no dignity, they just laugh it off.
However, Sun Licheng found that this guy still seems to have some ability, thinking about the Silver Moon Tribe, which is known as the oldest tribe, but there is only the Silver Moon Holy Maiden, it can be seen how big the gap in the strength of the tribe is.
Back in his room, Adolf smiled and personally handed Sun Licheng a glass of water, and said, "Although the matter of forming a tribe has been approved, you still need to choose the location of the tribe. ”
"Any options?"
Sun Licheng asked.
"Now there are two options, one south and one north, both of which are valleys. ”
Adolf said.
"Does that make a difference?"
Sun Licheng asked.
"The valley to the north is remote, far from the other tribes, and the valley is barren. The valley to the south is much better, not far from here, easy to get to everywhere, and there is a mercury mine there. Mercury is a good thing, everyone needs this thing for sacrifice, as long as you can mine it, except for the fixed part of the Alliance, the rest is your tribe's own. ”
Adolf said with a smile.
"The valley to the south is so good, but why aren't there any other tribes living there?"
Sun Licheng was even more puzzled.
Adolf grinned and said with a wry smile, "Who said no? ”
"It's dangerous!"
Sun Licheng suddenly realized.
"Haha, of course it's dangerous, otherwise this place will not be your turn. But you're a hero, so you should be able to solve the trouble there, how about it? Also, if you go there, our tribe will give you an extra team of slaves. Well, you only need to provide us with another piece of mercury in the future. ”
Adolf laughed for a while before he told the real reason for the incident.
When Sun Licheng heard this, his heart was cold, and he said: "There is really a big pit inside." However, the conditions seem to be tempting, so what should I choose?", he fell into deep thought.
