In the eyes of the other six trolls, everything in the teeth is as incredible as a dream paradise.

The tall city walls, the neat and spacious courtyards of the houses, and the dozens of tall witch doctor trees led by the giant trees in the new city made them feel deeply puzzled and at the same time feel very powerful.

In the time leading up to the meeting, the Tooth Trolls didn't let their compatriots from afar be left out in the cold.

A series of unique programs are staged every day in the sacrificial square of the new city.

Novel dances, interesting or profound stage plays, and indispensable gladiatorial competitions, combined with those rich food and drinks, dig the corners of the people's hearts from the foundation of the six parts little by little.

On the side of the gladiatorial fight, the rule is "no limit on the premise of not causing damage";

At first, Nesta was not very happy with this kind of "barbaric" game, and he wanted to "invent" some sports such as basketball and football to ban them.

However, after a period of trial implementation, it was found that the open gladiatorial competition was indeed suppressed, but it was replaced by a bloodier "underground gladiatorial fight".

The trolls who came to power often broke their hands and feet, and although they were rare, there were still cases of death.

After some of them were suppressed by "severe punishment", the trolls grabbed wild beasts, monsters, and even horned hooves of fellow civilized creatures, and launched a secret "gambling-style gladiatorial fight", and those who came to power were bound to be either killed or injured.

Faced with such a situation, Nesta can only bring up the open gladiatorial competition again, and resign it to regularization and honor, so as to reduce the harm caused by its hidden secrets.

Now, this kind of "gladiatorial tournament" with restrictions has a certain "formality";

It runs between squads, between regions, and between stations, and its winners can even become stars in the troll society, enjoying the cheers and adoration of the audience.

The "finals" competition, which was held at the headquarters and was postponed to this time, attracted a lot of attention from the beginning.

The excitement of the gladiatorial match and the majesty of the victor made many of the six trolls feel sideways and envious.....

And when this trend passed, stage performances became the most popular programs, which shocked these uninformed "country elders".

On the stage at this time, what is being performed is a "documentary" propaganda drama;

In the prologue, the Tooth Warriors braved huge casualties to defeat the wolves, the former slaughterers of the troll tribe, through war in the west, and then opened up a large area of living space.

Since then, the Rune Council has decided that the trolls in the world are one family, and as the big brother, the fangs should take care of the rest of the troll tribes without discrimination, so they choose to share the new land with the other tribes.

In the foreground, the six reclamation trolls set out with great ambition, and they were full of dedication to the tribe and all the trolls, so they left their hometown without hesitation and went to a new land to open up the future;

Their ideas and actions deeply touched the Speaker of the House of Representatives, whose actor tried his best to "reproduce" the scene "at that time" with his performance on the stage:

He used an enthusiastic tone and a high-pitched "singing" line, and used the concept of "the trolls in the world are one" to severely refute the small number of reactionary forces within the parliament and the ruling government, and finally won the approval of most of the parliamentarians and secretaries, and successfully promoted the support actions launched by the Tooth Department in the future.

As a result, the people of the six tribes who traveled to the West Bank were taught knowledge, given tools, and provided with convenient means of transportation, and they no longer needed to break new ground with their passion alone.

Towards the end of the act, the style of the stage suddenly changed, and the previous golden and warm red full of hope slowly opened to the sides, and disappeared under the manipulation of the workers behind the scenes;

Immediately afterward, a heavy gray emerged from behind, and several trolls with gloomy eyes and primitive costumes appeared in the space reserved in advance against the background of this ominous gray.

Just as the dense audience was attracted by the changes on the stage and eager to understand the next plot, the hanging curtain at the front was closed, blocking the performers who had just appeared.

Just as the audience was puzzled, a troll dressed like an actor stepped onto the stage and shouted loudly below,

"Okay guys, due to time constraints, today's stage play is here first! Next up is a gladiatorial dance choreographed by the 33rd Hunting Team, the 24th Elder Gatherers, and our Junior Representatives—Trolls Grow Old!"

"Fuck off! I'm going to look at the back!"

"Yes! Hell, gladiatorial dance! We're going to see a stage play!

」

There was a sound of "bang-la-la", and countless bottles and cans were thrown onto the stage and smashed in the direction of the host.

But the troll in charge of the host did not panic at all, calmly dodged the warm welcome, and then left the stage laughing.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen trolls in charge of the next performance took the stage instead....

Regardless of the old and young, they all scolded and scolded at this time, kicked all the sundries on the stage back in the direction of the audience, and then in bursts of laughter and scolding, they began their own lame, but really attentive, new gladiatorial dance performance with a plot.

Backstage, the performers of the stage play, who had just disappeared on the stage, had left from the back of the side and arrived at the place where the repertoire colleagues gathered.

"I don't know who came up with the idea, but I have to stop the performance at the most critical time, and I think the audience below is starting to make trouble."

"It's like little Olinka, saying that she has researched some new ideas, which seems to make the audience look forward to it and deepen their impression..."

"Tsk.... What a cunning guy~"

"Who said it wasn't~ haha!"

"Let's go, go out and watch the show, I'm going to find two males to watch together!"

"I'm coming! Let me! The six are all soft-footed!"

~~~~~

On a platform atop a giant tree, Nesta and Azshara watched the performance in the square from afar.

"Alright, stop laughing... Who is lining this play?"

Eshara finally straightened up and bent over with a smile, and replied with a smile on her lips,

"Who else could it be, Olinka, that little guy~ haha, you're so funny!"

"Again, that's not me! That's an exaggerated performance, don't you understand!"

To be honest, Nesta actually thinks that the choreography of this stage play is quite thoughtful, and the exaggerated places that should be exaggerated and the parts that should be scandalized are ugly, which can be regarded as a more appropriate "political propaganda drama".

Although it is too deliberate, if it is put in the current era, it is also deliberately appropriate;

If it is a little more subtle, the target group may not understand what this thing is saying.

Because this drama is aimed at the illiterate people from the six parts below.....

The only thing that makes him unhappy may be that his image in the play is too exaggerated, and a bunch of scenes that have never happened and words that have not been said are arranged on his head;

Although this can effectively elevate his status and deepen the audience's positive impression of himself, the strong sense of unreality makes Nesta feel a little ashamed.

After all, deep down, he is actually the thin-skinned student who has never left the ivory tower, and the experience of more than 50 years has not made him a complete power animal.....

~~~~

Below, the performance on stage has begun again, and its unique content has once again succeeded in attracting the attention of Nesta and Azshara.

The dance shows the journey of a troll squad from small to large....

When they were teenagers, they studied hard in school.

In the prime of life, he fought the battlefield and worked hard in the fields;

In their later years, after paying homage to their comrades-in-arms, the veterans took over the work they could, and continued to play a role in the development of the ethnic group and the progress of the times.

This is undoubtedly the positive energy of the trolls, mixed with the "gladiatorial performance" that was forcibly stuffed into it for some reason, showing a nondescript passion, which made the audience who were still scolding before applaud with tears in their eyes and shouted "yes" loudly.

On the one hand, Nesta felt that he was not too "not a thing", and actually called the people from childhood to old age;

But on the other hand, it's true that trolls want to live like this, and they don't want to be idle in their old age.

Just like before, whether it was a war against wolves or a war against the Toulon tribe, there were really a lot of elderly soldiers who could still move to come to him;

All they want is to go to war and die in the war.

In the face of these elders, who were nearly three hundred years older than herself, Nesta could only persuade her to leave the matter of war to the trolls in their prime, so that they could enjoy the care of the tribe with peace of mind.

It's a pity that the old trolls don't seem to appreciate it, and the old ones who belong to the teeth still curse and curse when they turn to leave, saying that they regret not starving Nesta to death when they were young, and they actually grew up to bully them.....

This group of trolls is basically the most uneducated and unreasonable group of the tribe today;

Most of them are illiterate because they are old, or about to grow old, when they first made words, and they have no motivation and ability to learn new knowledge.

However, it is true that their contribution to the tribe cannot be ignored;

In the primitive era, it was the unremitting efforts and courageous survival of these groups of illiterate people that allowed the troll tribe to continue successfully to this day, and finally have today's glorious opportunity.

So, although their behavior and lifestyle are a little out of place with today's tribes, Nesta and the many witch doctors have never really ignored these elderly trolls from the teeth or from other tribes.

If you want to work, you can rest, and all other reasonable requirements except for going to the battlefield will never be stuck in any department.

~~~~

In the next half month, the carnival and various performances continued.

In the enthusiastic response of the audience, the stage play has ended four times in a row, and the new audiences who have arrived one after another these days do not need to mention it, and even the old audiences who have watched it in its entirety several times will watch it again and again.

And the purpose of the play has almost been achieved, at least in the hearts of the delegates who came to the meeting, the images represented by the various trolls in the play have been deeply rooted in their hearts.

Leaving aside the representatives of the reclamation area for the time being, it is nothing more than deepening the "lighthouse" status of the tooth in their hearts;

And the representatives from the six traditional regions also learned the "truth" of the matter in that scene....

In addition, the trolls, who were originally roughly integrated from top to bottom and did not have too deep a deep concept of "status", were invisibly implanted with the two "class" concepts of "tribal high-level" and "people";

In their minds, the play gradually clarified their own identity distinction other than "tribesmen" - that is, the belonging of "ruler" and "ruled".

At the same time that this "subtle" concept is being deepened, the time for the meeting is finally approaching, and the one-month preparation period is coming to an end.

~~~~

The final number of participants in the "Black Forest All Troll Team Meeting" exceeded 5,000, but more than 3,600 of them were representatives of the various teams to which the Tooth Division belonged.

This shows that in today's Black Forest, the "population" of the teeth has occupied an absolute advantage, and the meetings held in this form are basically absolutely beneficial to the teeth.... If the ruling government really intends to take advantage of it.

The meeting will be held in the square under the giant tree, and in addition to the representatives of the people's squads, the leaders of the ruling government, the chiefs of the six ministries and other high-ranking soldiers will participate in the delegates.

In addition, the Court of Law will be the presiding officer, while representatives of the military will only be present as observers.

In the Parliament's planning for the future, the "checks and balances and cooperation" between the ruling government, the People's Yuan and the Law Court will become the main theme of the politics of the new country in peacetime.

The Rune Council, on the other hand, will try its best to avoid becoming the "direct ruler" in the hearts of the people, and instead portray the Council as a fair "overseer" and "final judge", seeking to withdraw itself from the "opposition" and avoid overturning.

Therefore, they did not descend directly into the square where the meeting was taking place, but only carved out a platform on the tall giant tree, and dozens of witch doctors sat in their own seats, and did not intervene in the upcoming meeting below unless it was really necessary.

In a more secluded position, the 13 witch doctors of the six ministries who are still under house arrest have also been arranged to observe.....

~~~~

At the beginning of the meeting, the first topic of discussion was "reunification", and the process was divided into three stages.

First of all, there is the "love" stage.....

The secretaries of the ruling government came to power and talked about their own visions for "reunification" and the future after the achievement of the reunification, and listed in detail the benign changes that the ruling government has brought about in people's lives during its time in power.

They say that, in spite of the twists and turns in the process, and with all its inappropriate manifestations, the ruling government is maturing day by day under the reasonable supervision of the House of the Protectorate, within the limits of the House of the Law, and under the far-reaching vision of the Runeter Council;

Therefore, the ruling government has the confidence, determination and ability to extend its service to all trolls;

They are ready to give their strength for a brighter and more orderly future.

After the government, there were six chiefs who were "raided" and asked to speak;

Unprepared, they "delivered" a speech that was not in the mouth of the horse, and the difference between the before and after comparisons naturally ushered in a chorus of boos from the delegates, especially from the western reclamation areas.

After the "petition" stage is over, there is a vote on the proposal;

The vote was divided into two parts.....

The first part is for the representatives from the six teams to vote on "whether they want to join the troll unified regime";

In the second part, the representatives of the dental teams voted on "whether they are willing to accept new compatriots to join".

It is worth mentioning that in the first part, there is no division between the "representatives of the reclamation area" and the "representatives of the headquarters of the six departments", and they will jointly vote on the proposal.

Therefore, the representatives of the reclamation area, who were already inclined to do so, together with some of the representatives of the six headquarters who were attracted to the Tooth during these days, and some of the representatives of the six headquarters who were recognized by the Tooth Department because of the help they had been providing in terms of food, weapons, and tools, together made the vote pass by a high percentage.

On the tooth side, there is no problem;

Except for a small number of troublemakers who have a hole in their brains and find it interesting to go against everyone, the issue of "whether to accept or not" was almost unanimously approved.

As a result, the "unification of the troll race" has become a kind of "popular expectation" that has little room for denial even in the eyes of later generations, and there is no black spot that can be put on the surface of the meeting, whether it is the form of the meeting or the arrangement of voting.

And this new troll country will be called the "Republic of the Rune Council and all the Troll (Elf) people", referred to as the "Troll (Elf) Republic".

The newly established kingdom will completely abandon the previous concept of "ministry", and the old name of the ministry, along with the title of "tooth" as the former main body, will be swept into the pile of old papers, and become an ordinary page of history record.

In addition, the political and military will temporarily follow the old system of the tooth department, and if necessary, it will follow

, and then according to the actual needs in operation, and to make targeted reforms.

As for the strange name "Rune Council and the Republic of All Troll (Elf) People", it was not actually imposed by the Rune Council.

The term "Rune Council" was proposed by the ruling government, the House of Protectors, and the Court of Law to emphasize "the wisdom of witch doctors leading the kingdom";

The word "republic" was added to emphasize the idea that the kingdom is not ruled by a troll or a group of trolls, but belongs to all its members.

As soon as it was proposed, it immediately overcame many of the remaining names and became the main choice directly determined by the conference.

In addition to the choice of the official name, the term "Black Forest State" was also discussed at the conference, and it became popular for a time before the former.

But the delegates at the conference said that all the lands under the sun would belong to the country of trolls, so how could such obvious geographical restrictions be added to the name of the country?

No, this is absolutely not possible!

~~~~

All in all, the bulk of the meeting ended in such a cheerful atmosphere;

As a result, it can be said that a few families are happy and a few are sad....

The people are immersed in the hope of a better life in the future, and they are happy that all the benefits that were once and now exclusive to the teeth will henceforth be the future shared by all trolls.

And those chiefs and high-ranking warriors who failed, or who had not made a decent effort at all, were mixed with mixed emotions at this time;

However, after a few bottles of high-spirits were drunk, in the gladiatorial battle that heated up, they also figured it out....

I think it's good to be able to hand over what I'm not good at, at least my standard of living has skyrocketed in the future, isn't it? People can live better, right?

After all, they are only the warrior leaders of primitive tribes, not the heads of a hereditary country, and there are not so many inseparable interests and entanglements.

What to do after that? Then let's find a way to join the army, that is their paradise~

The only people who really feel lost in this are probably the witch doctors....

How can they be happy to see that the things they care about the most are handed over by "one of them" and then completely reduced to history?

For this, Nesta can only hope for the greatness of time.....

But before that, the vigilance and commitment that Zeng Jin made to himself is also time to do it at this time.

"Let the witch doctors go, and tell them that as long as they don't try to break the unity, they can enjoy all the treatment that ordinary citizens should have..."

"Is that really good? Why don't I feel at ease?" Fangs, who were in the same room, felt uneasy, believing that the obsession of the old witch doctors of the Great Tribe would be a destabilizing factor for the new regime.

"Or else? Can you be imprisoned forever, or can you simply kill them?"

"Well, it's okay.... Listen to you."

Seeing that he was still worried, Nesta continued to explain,

"Look at the point, what we want to build is a tolerant country, at least tolerant of our compatriots, right? It's just a few dissidents, and as long as the people really get the benefits, then they can't afford to make any big waves. We still have some confidence in ourselves and in the new country."

"Okay, then I'll talk to them first, at least let these old guards understand what you mean, and let them learn to be grateful! If I had it, I'd just give them Kacha."

"Haha~ Go ahead, but don't go too far."

"Yes, don't worry."

Fangs turned away, leaving Nesta alone in her office in the middle of the tree.

At this time, half a month has actually passed since the closing of the conference and the establishment of a new country.

During this time, the ruling government was busy with "self-upgrading" and "building up the households"

；

In the former, in order to cope with the new situation, each department will further rationalize its internal hierarchical structure, and the specific plan is to "reorganize the department from the department and set up a department under the department" to prepare for the future expansion;

The latter, on the other hand, is to arrange the naturalization of the people belonging to the old six departments as soon as possible.

On the other hand, the Baomin Yuan is in a hurry to help the new people form a solid grassroots connection, so that these incorporators can adapt more quickly to the dental field. No, it's life in a new country.

In addition to burying their heads in some trivial disputes every day to sort out public order and good customs, and make preliminary preparations for future formal legislation, the court also began to study the "constitution" under the instruction of the Rune Council.

However, neither of them can be completed overnight, so although they are also busy, they are still slow and old, and they don't seem to be in a hurry.

The affairs of the armed forces have not changed much for the time being, and the armed forces will not expand the number of standing troops because of the increase in grassroots units until the new people of the old six divisions have completely "settled down".

However, when everything is stabilized in the future, the squads of the old six divisions will naturally be included in the scope of recruitment;

At that time, the number of standing troops will inevitably rise to about 1,500 or so.

In addition, the collation of the old six lineages has also begun, and the information on the topography, common types of magical beasts, edible plants, etc. in their respective regions will be reorganized and become part of the common inheritance of the kingdom.

But these matters have little to do with the witch doctors for the time being;

Basically, each department is able to complete the part of the task within its own role.

As a result, after a brief period of distraction from Unification-related matters, most of the Witch Doctors' lives have since returned, allowing them to devote more of their energy to their individual or collective studies.

~~~~

As the busiest group of trolls in the republic at this stage, the ministers of the ruling government have endless meetings to attend every day;

Some of these meetings are internal affairs meetings of the ministries, which are devoted to the part of the affairs that the departments can afford independently;

In others, the overall business meeting is attended by all ministers, and is devoted to important and complex matters that require the joint efforts of various departments.

Today, Zhuo Erling, the head of the Far Traveler Exploration Department, referred to as the "External Exploration Department", has participated in three internal meetings in a row;

And at this moment, she was rushing in the direction of the minister's conference room non-stop.

The meeting that is about to start is an impromptu meeting convened by herself, so naturally she can't be late....

Pushing open the door to the conference room, she found that several troll ministers had arrived early;

At this time, there were basically a few steps of materials in front of their desks, and they all seemed to have nothing to do with the next meeting.....

"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to resign.... I want to go back to the army...," one of the trolls suddenly looked up, looking up feebly at the ceiling and muttering.

This is a phenomenon that has been seen by everyone in recent times, especially in the departments related to civil affairs and finance, and Zhuo Erling clearly knows how busy they are with the establishment of the republic and the incorporation of new people.

After waiting for a while, a few more trolls hurried in, and seeing that everyone had almost arrived, Drow did not delay any longer, and prepared to start the meeting immediately.

She stood up, clapped her hands, and attracted the trolls, who were still busy with their own affairs, and coughed lightly before speaking,

"I'm sorry everyone, but I'm calling you here during these busy times."

"Don't be polite, just say it... What's going on? Want money? Or do you want to be a member?"

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point... I'll give you the materials first." As he was talking, Zhuo Erling took out the information he brought and let him pass it down one by one along the round table.

"As I speak, you can have a rough idea in your heart as you look

bottom."

The information was in place, and when the trolls picked it up and began to look through it, Zhuo Erling began a general verbal introduction,

"All in all, after deliberation within the External Exploration Department, we decided to take the lead in completing the internal reform..."

"Then you change it? It's nothing more than a matter of changing the brand... Is it necessary to bring it here?"

The troll, who was scratching his head helplessly, had the largest number of documents in the conference room piled up in front of him, because he was in charge of civil affairs, and during the time when the republic was newly established, his affairs were the busiest.

Maybe it was because he was about to vomit when he read the document, and at this time he was looking at the cover of the document distributed by Zhuo Erling with a disgusted face, as if he was doing some kind of psychological struggle.

Zhuo Erling did not answer directly, but continued,

"We hope to be able to expand the organization immediately and set up four exploration divisions under the department to carry out business in various directions.....

"Also, as the exploration business unfolds, the tribe... There will definitely be a shortage of information channels shared by the Republic, so we hope that a separate liaison department will be set up to receive information from all sides on a dedicated line."

"Therefore, there is a large number of post gaps and funding gaps, and I hope to be able to carry out special examinations as soon as possible, and recruit qualified and interested people from the grassroots teams to become investigation employees and civilian employees of various departments of our department..."

"For the latter, I hope the Ministry of Finance will allocate a batch of budgets.....

"Huh! It turns out that I want both money and staff..."

"That's pretty much what it means..."

"It's a bit troublesome, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you have to spend it anyway.... But the budget has been decided years ago, and which funds should go where they will go have a definite direction.... I'm just taking care of it for everyone, so I can't suddenly move out a sum of money, but I'm staring at it.....

"What then? It's not the past, how can you start working without money?"

"There's no way, so it's not the past~" The troll pointed to the top and then to the bottom, and continued, "To put it bluntly, we're just a group of housekeepers, and the rules set above are "do things according to the rules", and the group below is always watching, and there is really no way to say just move."

"That?"

"Convening an interim budget meeting, that's all it takes.... Otherwise, you really won't be able to come up with the money."

"Isn't that still having to wait? It's just a little bit of a fingernail, is it necessary!?"

"Zhuo Erling~ You and I are in a hurry, I feel that it is necessary above, and the bottom is more serious, what can we do?"

"Damn the rules! I can't move if I don't have money!"

"So what? What are you going to do? Because it's a request from the Ministry of Discovery, you will have to take the lead in applying."

"Okay, then I'll do it... But what do you do in the future? There are always cases where various departments temporarily increase their plans during non-budget periods, so it's impossible to go to the Protectorate every time, right?"

Her question made the ministers fall into thought and think about this issue one after another.

To tell the truth, as the tribal system entered the later stage, especially since the establishment of the republic, various affairs have really risen by leaps and bounds.

And among them, in fact, there are many kinds of "nothing to do".... At the very least, in their opinion, it is a matter of "nothing to look for".

For example, this "budget problem", how could it be so troublesome before?

In the early years, the no-cost "on-the-go" period should be gone forever, leaving aside the mention of it;

But even later, when the status of "money" was elevated intentionally or unintentionally, there was actually a long period of time when each company could "receive it when needed";

At that time, there weren't that many budgets, and there were no problems like fighting with the Minfu.

But now.....

On the one hand, it is the requirements of the Rune Council for the ruling government, which is that the "process" is greater than the "result".

They cannot circumvent the "procedure" for the sake of convenience;

On the other hand, since the launch and victory of the "Great Evacuation Movement", the people seem to have taken their rights and interests in various affairs of the government very seriously, and they are very active in many regulatory links.

Because of these two reasons, the ruling government is like a beast locked in a cage in many things, and it has many restrictions.

For example, this "budget" happens to be one of the several regulatory items that the People's Court attaches the most importance to, which makes the ruling government even more restrictive on the issue of money....

"It's really delaying.... Why don't you ask the Rune Council to remove the Tribune's oversight in this regard?"

"No way, the council won't agree..."

"Didn't Your Excellency the Speaker say that?" Before opening the window, propose to smash the wall".... We don't want the council to really agree, but we can settle for the next best thing and come up with some.... An alternative, less serious alternative?"

"For example?"

"For example... Think about it... Yes, in addition to the official budget, a part of the allocation of the model lake is reserved for the departments to call in case of urgent need... What do you say?"

"Officially, "off-budget" model lake allocation? You're just nonsense, it's impossible.... What's the difference between that and no budget?"

"Uh... Then request an additional budget "within the official budget"? As long as there's a cap, right?"

「..... This seems to be a good idea, so let's report it together with this temporary calculation proposal, right? Drowling, I'll leave it to you?"

"Yes...," Drow thought for a moment, and thought it didn't seem like a big deal, so she nodded her head.

"Remember to "smash the wall" first~"

"Got it, got it."

~~~~

At the end of the meeting, Zhuo Erling took the materials that were basically unused, and returned to the direction of his department again.

She was actually not in a good mood, and Zhuo Erling, who entered the ruling government relatively late, actually encountered this situation for the first time.

How to say it.... When I work, I can't show my hands and feet, and I don't have the spirit of "I'm dedicating myself to the republic";

Because... She felt that the ruling government was being guarded from top to bottom, and she felt that she was not trusted, so she naturally lost that kind of heart.

"Ugh.... Should have stayed in the army in the first place, the captain of the ruling government must be better than ***..."
