Chapter 24 There is a successor

Popovich's words directly stunned Captain Cao, he didn't expect Scarlett to have met Popovich before, let alone Scarlett even recommended Popovich here. Popovich came here, perhaps because of Captain Cao's special efforts in the Niluo River Valley, but there were also other reasons, but Commander Cao offended him.

"I don't know how many times I've taught you a lesson, why are you always so impulsive? If you want to do great things, you have to have a knife in your heart, even if something happens, you have to endure it first! Do you know who old Mr. Popovich is? He was so rude to him!" Old man Ao grimaced, and then he said to Captain Cao for a while.

"Where is Scarlett?" said Captain Cao almost without thinking, he hadn't seen Scarlett for a long time. And Head Cao must also admit that his longing for this cheap senior sister is increasing day by day. Captain Cao also asked people to go out and inquire about the news, but no one knew where Scarlett's preaching had reached recently.

She said that she had a lot of plans for this mission, and I don't know exactly where she went. But what is certain is that she is heading east of the Exiled Realm, which is very unfamiliar to us. When I met her, it was a few months ago. Popovich shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn't help.

Truth be told, Popovich had only heard about the recent actions of some raiding groups on the way here, but he hadn't made a special trip because of these things. Popovich's tribe is actually the kind of powerful indigenous tribe that has been inherited for a long time and is very powerful. This is a completely different type from all the Bimon remnant tribes that Captain Cao has come into contact with since he came to the Exiled Domain, and Popovich's tribe has more than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 Boer Bafaro buffalo people.

The Bafaro buffalo people are arguably the strongest of the Boer people, they love hot weather and water. In a sense, they are also amphibious warriors, but their water combat ability is not as strong as that of the bay crocodile warriors. But on land, their combat power is even comparable to that of the Giant Forest Boar Warriors. In the heyday of the Beamon Empire, the buffalo people of Bafaro were also classified warriors belonging to the empire, and after retreating to the Exiled Domain, they also felt that the climate here was very suitable for their survival, and a little disappointed in the empire, so they stayed here to develop. Not only are they powerful, but they also have a very complete historical civilization heritage, and even there are priests in their tribe!

Therefore, when Scarlett preached through their tribe, she also received a very warm reception from them, and Scarlett also spent nearly half a month in their tribe. Popovich and Scarlett chatted so well that they almost became old friends, as he was the highest-ranking priest in their so-called spur tribe and the most authoritative elder in the clan. Popovich wanted to come here, and the most important thing was to hear Scarlett say that Captain Cao was an unborn priest wizard. Out of wanting to exchange knowledge about the Divine Comedy, Old Man Popovich came over by himself without a single entourage. And his greatest weapon is his name, he has been in exile for most of his life, countless people here have heard of him, and not many people will be willing to face the wrath of the Spur Tribe. Don't look at Old Man Popovich's beard and hair are all white, and his body is a little rickety, but others are still more than three meters tall, and Captain Cao has just reached his chest position.

Under the repeated apologies and invitations of the old man, Popovich finally became less angry and agreed to be a guest in the mud snail secluded place. A person of his age and resume is much more open-minded than a stunned person like Captain Cao. Old man Ao and Popovich can be said to be quite chatty, and the two old men have not stopped laughing since they meditated together. Although they had never met each other, just like their previous polite words, they had heard each other's names and deeds for a long time, but they had not had the opportunity to meet, and they respected each other very much. Now that we are gathered together, there is an endless day to talk about. Although Popovich has been in exile, everything he does not behave like the natives that Captain Cao knows, he is very knowledgeable and has a good conversation. Most of the topics he and Old Man Ao talked about couldn't even interject with Captain Cao, they were really people of the same era.

However, it was through the communication between the two of them that Captain Cao's insight also jumped again, and he knew a lot about the history of the Exiled Domain. Popovich has lived in exile much longer than Old Man O, and his influence here is incomparable to Old Man O. Old man Ao has just built a home for the Leibit rabbits here, so that they will not be affected by the bandits around them. Popovich, on the other hand, was completely different, first of all, he was born into a powerful orc tribe, and he was the only remaining high priest of this powerful tribe. Not only did he have great authority among the tribes, but many of the indigenous tribes living around the Spur tribe treated him as a god. These are the histories of the Exiled Realm, and although there are no books written and recorded by historians, they are real.

Why does he have such a high status? Because he and Captain Cao are similar in many ways. Popovich also became famous as a teenager, and when he was a young man, he had already made his mark in the realm of exile. At that time, Popovich not only became the high priest of their tribe, but he was also a very wise man, with a long-term vision and thinking that ordinary natives could not match. He also believes that what has always hindered the development of the Exiled Realm is the hostile relationship between the wise tribes here, the lack of unity, and the trouble of banditry here.

Popovich's approach was to try to change these legacy problems as much as possible, and their tribe provided him with such a foundation. The Spur tribe occupies an extremely rain-rich direct stream of the Niluo River, which is called Antonio. This allows the Spurs tribe to never have to worry about their livelihood, and they can often go to the relief of some of the surrounding indigenous tribes. Captain Cao also had a similar approach, but Popovich did it earlier than him, and he insisted on it for a longer period of time, so all the indigenous tribes on Antonio's side believed that Popovich was a saint in the contemporary exiled realm, and even Antonio was honored as San Antonio because of Popovich's existence, and the Spur tribe was the representative of that land.

At Popovich's call, the indigenous tribes of San Antonio had a very harmonious and united relationship, almost forming a unique system, even stronger than the Free Development Alliance established by the head of the Cao regiment. With the union of these indigenous tribes, no bandit gang in the Exiled Realm dared to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, so San Antonio became a unique paradise in the Exiled Realm. In addition, Popovich does not have the habit of racial discrimination like ordinary people, he feels that all living beings are created equal, there should not be so many contradictions between each other, and it is completely possible to prosper together.

As a result, Popovich also set up a large private school among the Spurs tribe to teach all aspirants, teach them knowledge and knowledge, improve their humanistic qualities, and have an ironclad offensive and defensive alliance. There is nothing wrong with even saying that they are a small United Kingdom. And Popovich is the well-deserved founder of this small kingdom. What Commander Cao is thinking and doing now is very similar after Popovich. The only difference is that Popovich pays attention to convincing people with virtue, while Captain Cao is too fast, getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket. Popovich's ultimate goal is to see the Exiled Realm form a whole, and everyone lives and works in peace, which is very similar to the ultimate goal of Captain Cao, but Captain Cao still has some selfish intentions. What about Popovich? If he wanted to establish a regime, he could have done it decades earlier, but he didn't think it was necessary.

A few decades ago, Popovich's strategic alliance had dozens of members. The young Popovich was also obsessed with the great plans of his life, directing and rebuking Fang Xuan. His people and friends surrounded him like stars and moons. He also enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by ministers, warriors, and heroes of the world, and he did a lot of far-reaching things. When Head Cao heard these past events, he couldn't help but be in awe.

People say that there are 3,000 disciples of Confucius and 72 sages, people say that there are 3,000 guests in the plains, and people say that someone is highly respected and has a protégé who is all over the world. In the eyes of Chief Cao, Popovich is the Confucian Sage of the Exiled Domain, and he is the native of Pingyuan Jun here. The Spurs tribe is a low-key tribe, and San Antonio is an obscure pure land. In the past few decades, it has quietly accumulated the best reputation of the Exiled Domain, and has quietly cultivated a large number of people with lofty ideals, and the peach and plum are all over the world. Like a long narrative poem that contains so many memorable moments and stories, in the realm of exile, he deserves to be remembered forever, in the past, present, and future.

Some of these students who went out under Popovich have become strong and can compete with their teachers, and some have proved their abilities for a while. The management method of the Spurs is neither an iron-blooded policy, nor a gangster righteousness, nor utilitarianism. Rather, it is a kind of warmth and encouragement similar to a family atmosphere, strict and loving. This is not a "small technique", but a "great avenue". If you can value patience more than speculation, if you can value feelings more than interests, if you can value accumulation more than gains, if you can see planning more than burning money, if you can value IQ more than your body, if you can see never giving up more than seeing different ideas, then congratulations, you also belong to the "spur system".

But unfortunately, Popovich has not been able to achieve the great things of his youth for most of his life, because the Exiled Realm is not so easy to change, and he can only turn San Antonio into a pure land. Further on, the trouble in front of him is even more of a headache. Popovich has great ambitions, but the vast majority of the natives of the exiled realm are not cold, and always maintain the barriers of interests between races. Moreover, the tentacles of the human world also affect the Exiled Domain all the time, and their purpose is to keep this chaotic state until they can swallow it in one gulp.

Eventually, Popovich also had to bow to this reality. He also began to feel that these status quo could not be changed by one generation, and it was still possible to rely on the future generations to inherit his will and inherit his mantle. Just when Popovich felt that such people were few and far between, the raiders came to the Realm of Exile.

And after this team came here, there was a lot of movement. Popovich had been aware of this foreign sight for a long time, and had been silently observing. If you count it up, Captain Cao can be regarded as a person with the same long-term vision as Popovich, but he is more sharp. Popovich's whole life has been constantly forging ahead in the established rules of the Exile Domain, and Captain Cao disdains these rules because he is an outsider. Although it has made rapid progress, it has also made a lot of enemies. Popovich had long felt the need to talk to this junior, but it wasn't until Scarlett had reached San Antonio that he made up his mind.

First, it was because of Captain Cao's vigorous targeting of human caravans in the Exiled Domain, as well as the crackdown on the slave trade, that an unprecedented situation appeared in the Exiled Domain. Popovich lived so long that it was the hardest time to see a human being during this time. Captain Cao tossed the outsiders of the human world enough, and in disguise, it also weakened their influence here a lot, which was a good thing for everyone in the Exiled Domain.

Second, Popovich felt that Commander Cao was a person who could inherit his mantle, so he made a special trip to see what kind of person this was. Judging from the recent situation, the movement on the human side of the world is much smaller. Popovich believed that this was the calm before the storm, because humanity could never abandon the Realm of Exile...... (To be continued.) )
