Several indigenous women brought some food and fruit and poured fruit wine into their cups.

The indigenous women in the north of the Bailin plane have brownish-red complexions, good facial features and figures, especially the dress in the tribe, the cut clothes are basically rarely sewn, and the body is full of colorful gemstone bead chains, the only thing that is not very beautiful is because of walking barefoot all day, not only the feet appear large, but also very rough.

The aboriginal women had a faint scent of flowers, and after they sat down in the cave, each sat behind them.

They wash their hands carefully and peel the fruit for their guests.

Since Surdak brought some daily necessities from the town of Dodan to the tribe, cups, pots, fabrics, nails, oil paints, knives have become indispensable items for the indigenous tribes, and their quality of life has improved a lot.

Although he still lived in the cave, there were some more cloth curtains in the cave, and there were round cushions where Surdak sits.

"What are your plans after the beast tide is over?"

Surdak asked.

He was not accustomed to the service of the indigenous girl behind him, so he grabbed a handful of nuts and gave her a handful of nuts, and motioned for her to peel them slowly.

The indigenous patriarch and several warriors in the tribe looked at each other, and remembered that Surdak came to the tribe with several strong men under his command, and said to him: The Grimm Empire will expand to the north in the White Forest Plane, and I hope that the young people on this side of the tribe can go out and see the outside world.

In fact, this group of young people in the tribe went out, but they still wandered around the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, and did not leave here.

But life in the tribe has been turned upside down.

In the past, those scarce materials, even sophisticated weapons, were continuously transported to the tribe through the town of Dodan.

This beast tide, the tribes in the hills and mountains were almost in ruins.

But the tribal chiefs are now confident that they will rebuild their homes......

"We want to go back to the hills and rebuild our homes." The indigenous patriarch said to Surdak.

The other tribal warriors sat beside the patriarch, and they all nodded their heads in indicating that this was almost what everyone in the tribe thought.

Surdak also nodded in agreement, and then said:

"The Imperial Iron Rider will continue to step north into the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, if you want to stay on this side of the hills and mountains, you will not be infested by Warcraft in the future, and the promise I made at the beginning is still valid."

"I will continue to extend the borders of the empire to the north, and at that time I can enclose a large area of land on this side of the hills and mountains to ensure the life of the tribe."

"Of course, the young people of the tribe can also go to Dodan Town to make a living in the future, whether they join the garrison or work in the town, young people will have more choices in the future."

Hearing Surdak say this, the nervous expression on the face of the indigenous patriarch finally relaxed.

"We still want to rebuild our homes on this side of the hills...... "The indigenous patriarch said in a stiff imperial Chinese.

Surdak nodded again and said, "It's best to sign a formal magic contract for this kind of thing, so as not to break the contract for various reasons in the future, but I need to have the right to speak about the hills and mountains and the Invercargill Forest now, and I need to convince all the tribes in the Invercargill Forest." ”

"Only by joining the Grimm Empire can I continue to live in the hills and mountains and the Invercargill Forest, and I promise not only to divide a large area of land, but also to complete autonomy for all tribes. The Imperial side does not interfere in the internal affairs of the tribe. ”

"Of course, if you don't want to continue living in the hills and mountains, you can also move to the town of Dodan."

"However, the only land I can give you is north of the Thorn Mountains, including the area where the hills and mountains meet the Invercargill Warcraft Forest."

"If you're worried about moving to Dodan Town, you won't be able to live in the future."

"Don't worry about it at all, trust me, when you come to Duodan Town, you'll know how easy it is to make a living in the town."

"There is no need to worry too much about the invasion of imperial culture, I promise that within the scope of your territory, the tribal culture will not be diluted."

"If you don't want to join the empire, wherever any tribe here wants to go, my cavalry battalion will provide the necessary migration support, not only in terms of materials, but also in terms of military security."

Surdak said so many things in one breath, and the indigenous patriarchs and tribal warriors got together and muttered and discussed for a long time before they could figure out Surdak's consciousness.

To put it bluntly, these tribes must join the Grimm Empire in order to continue to live in the hilly mountains and Invercargill Forest area, and the empire will not dry out the life of the indigenous tribes. Tribes who are unwilling to join the Grimm Empire must leave the hills and mountains and the Invercargill Forest, as for where to go...... Cavalry battalions will be escorted along the way.

The tribal warrior Anta's brows furrowed, and his forehead wrinkled very deeply, and he asked Surdak:

"Isn't it enough for us to give up the savannahs south of the Thorny Mountains? Is it still necessary to continue expanding north? Can't you just leave us some living space? ”

Of course, Surdak would not say that he wanted to get the two mines in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest and a large area of woodland with ironwood, so he had to give this area his own territory.

"I'm sorry, but the Grimm Empire's native population base is too large, and we can only keep the empire ......prosperous if we expand outward step by step," Surdak said.

Now his cavalry battalion is enough to level any tribe in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, just using force to eliminate these indigenous tribes is the most troublesome way, not only needs to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources, but each tribe destroyed is equivalent to planting a seed of hatred.

This kind of grievance entanglement will make those homeless tribe natives launch crazy revenge.

If everyone can sit down and negotiate, Surdak is still willing to sit down and talk.

"Actually, joining the Grimm Empire is a better choice, the land around your tribe will still belong to you, and you don't need to pay any taxes to the empire......" Surdak said to the indigenous patriarch, "Of course, now that we have such a close relationship, it is my army that recruits a large number of young tribesmen, and I promise not to send cavalry to any tribe without any reason...... I'm willing to sit down and talk about anything. ”

When he said this, the indigenous patriarch's eyelids twitched slightly.

Surdak paused, then added:

"Actually, what I want to say is...... Only I am here to fight for the good of everyone, after all, I want your tribe to become more prosperous, so that my army can recruit more tribal warriors. ”

"If the garrison changes guard one day in the future, I'm not sure if the new garrison commander will have the same opinion as me, maybe they will have a different opinion......"

"You also know that the Grimm Empire has a large population, and not everyone thinks so."

The indigenous patriarch thought carefully for a moment before saying, "Saying so much at once, I need time to think about it, this Invercargill Warcraft Forest is not just our tribe, there are dozens of tribes in the Warcraft Forest, I need to discuss it with them."

"I'm going to get all the indigenous tribal chiefs in the neighborhood together and sit down and talk."

"If I can, set aside a piece of land for us in the hilly and mountainous areas, and I would prefer to lead the people to live a herding life, which is what we originally lived when we lived in the big grassland."

After the indigenous patriarch finished speaking, he took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

Surdak casually exchanged his experience in running a ranch with the indigenous patriarch: "Of course no problem, you can also raise more war horses, this is my suggestion, now the price of war horses in the Green Empire is very expensive, the Green Empire has a high-quality Gubolai horse at least twenty gold, if it is a cattle and a yellow sheep that raise big meat, an adult bull can only be sold for less than two gold, and a yellow sheep can only be sold for fifteen silver coins......"

Hearing Surdak's introduction, the indigenous patriarch also said with a yearning face:

"I wish I could live that kind of life one day, and I could wander the mountains with cows and horses every day......"

Surdak finished talking to the indigenous patriarch before leaving the indigenous tribe before the sun set.

Seeing Surdak and his party walking to the foot of the mountain, the indigenous patriarch standing next to the rocky pillar on the mountainside breathed a sigh of relief, but the wrinkles on his brow did not relax.

……

In the following week, Surdak almost took the cavalry battalion and the archer battalion around the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, this time mainly to clean up the ghost-patterned red ants in the Warcraft Forest and hunt down the high-level Warcraft that returned to the Invercargill Forest one after another from outside.

During this time, some of the natives who had taken refuge in the Thorny Mountains also tried to return to the hills and the Invercargill Forest.

In the past few days, Surdak has met several indigenous tribes in a row.

Obviously, they don't have a good impression of the Imperial army, at this time, seeing that the Imperial army is fleeing far away, they are very familiar with the Invercargill Forest, Surdak's cavalry is in the jungle, they can't catch the shadow of these natives at all, they can run away in the woods as soon as they turn around.

During this time, Surdak also returned to the town of Dodan once.

A week later, word came from the indigenous chiefs that most of the indigenous tribes were reluctant to leave Invercargill Forest, and that they accepted Surdak's rule, albeit on the premise that they accepted Surdak's rule.

It is the garrison that needs to provide these indigenous tribes with weapons and food, and help them through the current difficulties.

In addition, they also need to have a fully autonomous territory in the Invercargill Forest or the hills.

It is definitely impossible for the Grimm Empire to let go of this opening and give these indigenous tribes a large area of autonomous territory.

However, this did not prevent Surdak from taking advantage of the loopholes, and this time he persuaded almost the entire indigenous tribes of Invercargill Forest, most of whom agreed to join the Grimm Empire, and only a few tribes were ready to relocate to the area west of the wetlands to live independently.

In this way, as long as the hidden monsters in the Invercargill Forest are cleared, it is equivalent to opening up the entire Invercargill Forest.

According to the 433 land distribution law, Surdak owns one-third of the size of Invercargill Forest, and he can choose this part of the land.

The entire Invercargill Forest is very vast, and Surdak intends to compensate these indigenous tribes with this part of the land he has acquired.

So while the thirty-seven indigenous tribal chiefs had gathered in the sanctuary near Stonehenge, Surdak rushed there and signed thirty-seven magical contracts with the indigenous chiefs.

It is worth mentioning that when Surdak signed the magic contract this time, Aphrodite helped him review the detailed terms of all the magic contracts...... Surdak didn't expect the succubus to be so proficient in magical contracts.

In fact, these indigenous tribes were able to agree to attach to Surdak so easily, mainly because they saw the grand scene of archers sitting on thunder rhinos and sweeping ghost-patterned red ants back and forth in the hills and mountains.

With this kind of force, the natives thought that even if they sent their tribal warriors to resist the invasion of the Surdak cavalry, they had little chance of victory.

In addition, these indigenous patriarchs saw that there seemed to be no harm in trading with the Empire, and the indigenous tribes in the Stonehenge Sanctuary in front of them were the truest portrayal.

So as soon as someone took the lead in expressing their willingness to give in, the other indigenous tribes agreed one after another.

However, Surdak was surprised that none of the indigenous chiefs of these indigenous tribes knew Viru......

As for the division of land for these indigenous tribes, Surdak personally took Andrew and ran around the Invercargill Forest, determined the location of almost all the indigenous tribes, and perfected the hand-drawn map in his hand.

According to the location of the indigenous tribes, Surdak includes two ore veins and an ironwood forest area.

Seeing that the territory he occupies is only one-tenth of the entire Invercargill Forest.

When it came time to annex other territories, Surdak simply connected his territory as much as possible.

When all this was settled, it was early July, and the barren lands of the city of Highlandsa were about to usher in the rainy season.

The beast tide in the northern area of the Bailin plane was completely subsided, and Surdak was only then allowed by the military headquarters to leave Dodan Town and immediately rush to Wilkes City.

This time, Selena and Signa stayed in Dodan Town, and Surdak only took Nika and Samira to Wilkes City.

Gulit Tem stayed in the town of Dodan, and the town of Dodan needs to have a strong man in charge.

Andrew, on the other hand, led a cavalry battalion to help four indigenous tribes who did not want to join the Grimm Empire to move their homes to the edge of the wetlands west of the hills.

As the party passed through the town of Kieran, Surdak paid a personal visit to Merlin. Baron Goss, Baron Goss and Baroness Goss hosted a banquet for Surdak.

Nika also took the opportunity to go home and visit her mother.

Surdak hurried and finally arrived in Wilkes City in mid-July.

On the same day he arrived in Wilkes, Surdak submitted a complete map of Invercargill's Monster Forest and Hills to the War Department, and submitted to the War Department a description of the territory and the Covenant of Joining the Grimm Empire signed with the thirty-seven indigenous tribes, and also formally submitted the application for the viscount to the Wilkes House of Representatives.
