736 Madness (3)

The Hall of Truth has a long history of debate, and the triennial General Council is the most important meeting of the Dorok City-State Alliance, but not all clans participate

This is the characteristic of the Dorok General Council, and the Speakers are free to choose whether or not to participate in the discussion of a certain issue, and there is no mandatory requirement for whether or not to be present.

Therefore, many topics will only be attended by representatives from both sides of the issue, and most of the other speakers will choose to use this time to rest or win over other speakers who can help them when they are waiting for a decision.

This is not forbidden in the General Council of Dorok, and it is much better to put the fight in a council where they discuss and negotiate with each other, so that the two sides can tear their faces and quarrel without scruples, than directly on the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, and the corpses are all over the field.

This point is very popular among small tribes with a population of only tens of thousands, war is cruel, rather than the blood of both sides biting like a river, and finally becoming the prey of other bystanders, it is better to spread out and talk, as long as it is not a dead knot that cannot be untied, there will always be a result that can satisfy both sides, just see which side has made a greater sacrifice

When Duo Xuan walked into the conference hall, only one-third of the seats in the hall were seated, and on the large stage in the distance, the speakers of the two factions were arguing fiercely about something, among which sat on the left side, a dark red robe old man with the symbol of the red leaves of the elm tree flower on his chest stood out in it,

He has a loud voice, a strong spirit, and a pair of piercing triangular eyes that are quite aggressive. The high bridge of his nose and slightly thinner lips, as well as his square double chin, all showed the old man's stubbornness.

He was the patriarch of the Bota tribe of Upper Dorok, and although he was over sixty years old, he was still like a birch tree that could not be bent, and he was very fast in both walking and talking. The words used to express one's feelings are also surprisingly efficient. When he encounters any dissatisfaction, he will immediately express his contempt and disdain in his heavy nasal voice, without the slightest concealment.

Like his people, he has a strong sense of humor. Open-minded and energetic. At some point, he was as innocent as a child.

So much so that you can't believe that this is a veteran who has charged into battle in many battles and is accustomed to seeing life and death. I can't imagine how he, known as the polar ice bear, turned his strong physique that frightened the enemy on the battlefield step by step into a sharp sword that makes the other party speechless

The two sides of the argument in the hall were spraying each other, and no one noticed that the multiple choices came in.

"Your Excellency the Speaker"

A blue-robed waiter sitting at the long table at the door stood up very respectfully, and handed over a bill that was now being discussed in his hand to Duo Ze, who looked down and saw that it was a proposal about the Bota clan building a new city in the lower reaches of the river within their influence,

The Bota tribe ranks 18th among the 64 Dorok mountain tribes, with a sphere of influence in the northern section of the Dorok Mountains, with a population of more than 70,000 people.

The rivers are frozen, and it is difficult to transport a large number of trees through the guò through the rivers that cross the whole territory, and most of the roads with the outside mountains will be cut off by heavy snowfall.

During this time, the Botha were able to live in the far north by hunting a unique seal that was unique to the region, which was huge, more than 5 meters long, with huge fangs, and was the most fearsome beast on the polar ice field.

Their huge bodies are covered with thick scales, and they can swim in the ice like fish, and when they observe the shadow of their prey on the ice, they will follow them, and without the prey noticing, they will break through the thin ice from behind, and drag the prey into the water with their sharp teeth.

In order to hunt this terrible beast, the Bota people often send teams of different numbers, one person plays the bait, and when the figure of the giant seal appears under the ice, it will immediately throw out bloody bird carcasses to attract the attention of the giant seal, and the person who baits the bait is waiting for the opportunity to escape, as long as the giant seal rushes out of the ice, the person lurking 100 meters away will throw out the sharp harpoon in his hand, and nail the giant seal that wants to retreat into the water in a panic on the ice...,

Despite thousands of years of hunting skills, many young people of Bota were lost to this hunt, and this situation did not improve until the formation of the Dorok City-State Alliance.

With the rise of commerce, the Botha people no longer have to fight for their lives as before, as long as they have enough money or have the wood to exchange, they will store food and supplies for the winter three months in advance.

However, the nearby merchants also overwhelmed the Bota people, and even had several fierce conflicts for this.

After several years of preparation, the Bota decided to migrate south, intending to take advantage of the September heat to build a new settlement on a branch that traversed their territory, named "Bernhurus" in Botha "City of Hope"

Such a big move soon caused dissatisfaction in the downstream areas, if the Bota people moved south, their sphere of influence would inevitably conflict with these tribes in the lower mountains, and the rivers and waterways they had built up over hundreds of years would also become the best channel to invade their territory because of this huge city that suddenly appeared upstream.

Although the Bota are not large in number, they have never been a peaceful tribe, and in the struggle against the cruel cold, the resolute Bothas, young and old, are almost all terrible axe warriors, wielding huge axes in their hands that can split the giant trees in the sky, and are also better at splitting the heads of enemies.

The polar ice field gave them the most difficult environment, but it also gave the Bota the strongest physique, and it was impossible for any heavy armor class to compete with the bloodthirsty Bota axe warriors on this polar ice field.

These axe warriors, dressed in heavy armor and cleats, can run like flying on slippery ice, can easily shoot a wooden barrel a hundred meters away with a harpoon in their hand, and can rush at a five-meter-long giant seal without fear.

They are veritable masters of the Far North, and their passions, their blood, like an unstoppable ice storm there, are enough to make the hearts of all who face them shiver,

Someone once calculated that the combat power of 10,000 Bota warriors is equal to 15,000 Dorok elite spear knights, 30,000 Dorok elite swordsmen, and 50,000 Dorok spearmen, which is only 120,000 in the total strength of the Dorok Federation.

Now that these guys are going south, they want to build cities, and they want to control the river, and the smaller tribes in several other regions immediately feel the pressure. You must know that these irascible Botahs are not easy to get along with, and it is not unheard of to kill their own people, and they don't dare to go to war directly, so they have to choose to submit this issue to the Council of the City-State of Dorok,

"What's the situation now?" Duo Xuan closed the information in his hand, turned his head and asked the waiter next to him in a low voice, wanting to know the progress of the topic,

"It's not good, the attitude of the Bota is very resolute, saying that the construction of the city is imperative, whether the parliament agrees or not, they are ready to go their own way"

The waiter's answer made the corners of Duo Xue's mouth smile, such a belligerent Bota tribe is naturally the object he urgently needs to fight for, before he was still thinking about what method to use to drag the always maverick Bota tribe into his camp, now it seems that this is really an opportunity not to be missed, using a rich area as bait, not afraid that the Bota tribe will not agree

His presence caught the attention of both sides, and the old man in dark red robes turned around

"Dangchang"

With the crisp ringing of the bell, the fierce argument temporarily stopped, and Bota Diak walked down from the stage with a red face, followed by several tall Botha people, and the opponents opposite him were all earthy, as if they had not recovered from the blow just now, and they seemed to look very bad,

From a distance, the giant-like old man had already bowed his head to the Speaker, enthusiastically stretched out a hand like a fan, put it on his right chest and patted it, making a dull slapping sound

"Good day, it is a great honor to meet you here, Your Excellency," Bota Diak said

"Good day, Patriarch Botta Diak" Duo Zhi also stretched out his right hand and patted it on his chest, and also responded to him with a respectful smile, "It's an honor to see that you have just achieved a brilliant victory"

"There, there, it's all trivial things that are not worth mentioning" Bota Diak's touted face glowed, and the corners of his mouth grinned, "Compared with the upcoming battle of His Excellency the Speaker, I really can't get on the table, I heard that His Excellency the Speaker's proposal is this afternoon, and then my Bota will definitely be grateful to repay the virtues"

Duoxuan's height is also considered tall among the Dorok people, about 1.84 meters, but in front of the leader of the Bota tribe, it is only up to his shoulder height, which shows the height of the Bota people in the ice field.

And at this moment, this Ice Plains Bota man was talking and laughing with himself with a smile like a professional politician, which made Duo Zhi feel a little distracted after talking,

Such a person, who is incompatible with a politician, can become a highly decorated general, a skilled but explosive chef, an outspoken scholar, a craftsman, a worker who likes to drink a little wine, a gardener who tending to flowers and plants, and can do anything, just with a belly full of evil ideas and full of lies. Politicians who compete for fame and fortune have nothing to do with it

It could be seen that the grumpy bota man was overwhelmed by the kicks of several representatives opposite, and from the fists he swung like a wheel, and the sometimes angry and sometimes thunderous look on his face, it was clear that this pressure was not necessarily all verbal,...... ,
