The wide tail fin lapped against the sea and splashed the waves, and Terry Hugh turned to the two guards on the shore and smiled softly:

"It's good to put it here, and then leave it to the tribal boys."

When the two human soldiers heard this, their hands loosened:

"Bang!" a long wooden box was heavily rested on the ground;

Hugh thanked again and said:

"Thank you both!

Barnes let out a long breath and smiled:

"It's nothing, Elder Hugh!" he made a special trip to help carry the boxes, not just for this thank-you sentence, he turned to the side and winked, telling the town guard soldiers who had come with him to go back first;

Since Barnes's uncle is a former castle steward, and even now he is in charge of the villa in Blue Water City, plus his own status as a castle guard;

So the town guard soldiers didn't ask much, nodded to a few people and left to return to the barracks;

Terry Hugh glanced at the soldier who was walking away, and looked at the young guard in front of him with some amusement, did he take others away for some benefit?

shook his head slightly in his heart, but he had to communicate with these people next, so he smiled slightly:

"Is there anything else you want to say, my lord?"

Barnes wondered what he would do if Uncle Highbury couldn't get back to the castle again.

There are only two options:

One is to apply for transfer to Bishui City, the advantage of this is that he has a backer again, but the disadvantage is also obvious, he has been far away from the core of the territory since then, and there is no further opportunity!

Besides, Uncle Highbury may not want to go to Blue Water City by himself, right? At least he still has an eyeliner in the castle!

There is no way to get to Bishui City, and there is only one way to do it:

That is to find another backer!

The old mermaid in front of him is the new backer that Barnes has found for himself, although it seems that this so-called mermaid tribe elder is very depressed now, and his tribe has less than 30 people in total!

There is no more down-and-out leader!

It stands to reason that even if he were looking for a backer, he would not look for such a thing, but Barnes has his own considerations, the most important of which are:

The old man's downfall in front of him is only temporary! he will definitely occupy a place in the upper echelons of the territory in the future!

Thinking so, the young guard smiled and said:

"Elder Hugh, I have heard your story, and I admire all that you have done for the tribe, and among us humans, such deeds will be revered as heroes!"

"You are the hero of the merfolk!"

Hugh Wenyan was slightly moved, and his smile was much more sincere:

"Your Excellency. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info。。 ”

Barnes waved his hand and said:

"Elder Hugh, my name is Barnes, you can call me Barnes!"

The mermaid elder nodded with a gentle smile and said:

"Okay, Barnes, my friend"

"Thank you for your affirmation of me"

Barnes cracked his mouth wide, revealing slightly yellowed teeth:

"I'm just telling the truth!"

。。。

"Wow~Wow~"

Since it was in the water, it didn't feel very heavy for Sharp Tooth to carry the wooden box alone, and he was still very young, still thinking about what the human had just said, and seemed a little excited, and swam forward a little and said:

"Elder, I think what that human said makes a lot of sense!"

"You are our merfolk hero!"

Hugh laughed and said:

"Sharp Tooth, that human must want to get some benefit from us, that's why he said this" lovingly looked at the young mermaid, his only offspring, his grandson:

"Don't think too much, let's go back sooner"

"The tribe has just been rebuilt, and there are still many things to do, as long as the tribe is strong, it will become easier to encounter any problems in the future."

Sharp Tooth nodded and said:

"Yes, Elder!"

Soon, the two returned to the tribe, and more than twenty other merfolk greeted them:

"Elder!"

"Elder!" 。。。。。。

Hugh looked at the clansmen who were not very strong but in much better spirits, nodded with relief, and asked Sharp Tooth to put the box on the reef, and then open it himself!

The moment the box was opened, everyone exclaimed:

"Wow! It's iron!"

"It's really iron! I've seen those fishmen use it before, but they don't have so much."

The crowd began to be restless and crowded, and they all wanted to get closer;

Iron tools are too precious because the sea water is corrosive, which dooms any iron tool to the bottom of the sea and not be kept for too long;

And the iron is so sharp, all the warriors want to have their own iron tools!

Hugh looked at it with a smile, and finally felt that it was too noisy before he coughed lightly, and when everyone was quiet, he smiled with satisfaction and continued:

"That's right, this is the Iron Weapon, the treasure that the Great King has given to us from the Tritribe!"

No one spoke, quietly;

Hugh Wei continued:

"Everyone gets an iron tool, and they all line up and come in order!"

Quickly distributed the iron tools, Hugh stood on the coral reef just now, looked at the more than twenty clansmen below, and said loudly:

"Our Tetri tribe has great glory!"

"A glorious past!"

"Twenty years ago, before all of you were born, the great Tribe was the ruler of the nearby seas for thousands of miles!"

"Control all the tribes of this sea!"

"She's so glorious and brilliant!"

Although he had heard it more than once, every time he heard this, Sharp Tooth felt his blood boiling, and he desperately wanted to return to the glorious era that belonged to the Tetri tribe!

The other merfolk were the same, all looking excitedly at the tribal elders on the reef.

Hugh looked at the excited clansmen in the audience, and then said loudly:

"But, the evil fishmen are coming, and they have ruined it all! The great Tribe is gone, and all our people are slaves!"

"More than 1,000 people have been captured and 300 people have been captured, and now, in just twenty years, there are only 27 people left!"

"How terrible is that!"

Everyone's eyes began to redden, their teeth were clenched, and their snorts became thicker:

Evil fish-people!

Hugh's deep voice seemed to state the facts:

"But the great Tribe will not be defeated!

"We will be glorious again!"

"The great Tribe of Tetri, its glory will be glorious again!"

Everyone was excited, their faces flushed, they needed to vent, they needed an outlet!

"Bright!"

"Bright!"

"Guangda!"...

In the middle of the night, Hugh raised his hands slightly, everyone quieted down, and his face became serious:

"For the glory of the Horde, I have to issue several decrees!"

All the merfolk prostrate down, bowing their heads respectfully, quietly waiting for the decree that would glorify the tribe!

After a moment of silence, Hugh's deep voice rang out:

"For the glory of the tribe, everyone must determine their partner within a month!" and without waiting for everyone's astonishment, he immediately continued:

"The tribe needs new life!"

"Without enough people, the glory of Tetri will not be great!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent again, and Hugh smiled with satisfaction, and said:

"In the future, the newly born people of the tribe will be raised by the tribe!"

"And every female clansman who completes childbirth will be rewarded by the tribe!"

This is great good governance, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the parents of newborns, and Hugh can feel that after this order was issued, everyone breathed a sigh of relief;

He sighed secretly in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the tribe was in need of the population, he wouldn't want to do this, but at this time, it could only be for the sake of the tribe!

Suppressing the hesitation in his heart, Hugh continued:

"The tribe was able to complete the reconstruction so smoothly because of the king's gift!"

"Therefore we shall give thanks to the king!" said the king, turning his head.

"Sharp Teeth!"

Sharp Tooth heard the elder suddenly call out his name, and hurriedly stepped forward:

"Command, Elder!"

Hugh ordered:

"You lead four male clansmen to assist the king's servant, Lord George, in fishing!"

Sharp Tooth instantly understood that this was something that had just been discussed on land, and replied:

"Yes, Elder!"

Hugh looked at the rest of his clansmen, was silent for a moment, and said:

"The task for others will be a little heavier, and we will have to complete the construction of the tribe, the houses of each clan, and the clan hall before the winter comes"

"Yes, Elder!"
