From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider
Chapter 80: Conquer?
The area of Holy Beast Island is very large. If Krobel is not wrong in his estimation, the area of this island should not be less than 500 square kilometers.
The group landed on the west side of the island and marched along the coastline towards the tribal settlement in the southwest. It took a long time to reach the destination.
I don’t know if it’s because the Sea People Tribe lives too comfortably or they are too hungry to patrol. Krobel’s army was almost approaching the camp before the people inside reacted.
They arrived at the gate of the tribe without any obstacles. The group broke the simple wooden gate without any effort.
And the people inside had not even organized a decent resistance.
Krobel entered the tribe and looked around carefully under the protection of the soldiers.
Naturally, he had to confirm the population of the Sea People Tribe first. After all, he had been thinking about it for a long time before he came.
And the population of his territory is indeed too small at present, and it is too far to transport from Huaguan City, and the loss is too great.
The Sea People Tribe is the best choice for Krobel.
But after careful observation, Kroeber felt that the current situation of the Sea People tribe seemed to be different from what he had guessed.
Among the people shown by the Sea People, there were actually more women and children.
Most of the women were relatively young, and the oldest was only in their forties. They wore simple animal skins and held simple wooden weapons in their hands, which was in line with the characteristics of the primitive tribe that all people were soldiers.
Most of the children were not wearing clothes. Some of them had some animal skins to cover their bodies, but they were a minority after all.
At this time, they were hiding behind their mothers, timidly looking at this group of strangers who looked very scary.
These people were pale and skinny, and it can be seen that this group of tribesmen have not had a full meal for a long time.
This can also indirectly confirm the reason why Yan went out to sea and the correctness of the information he provided.
There are very few male tribesmen in the tribe now, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.
The deputy chief and other formal combat forces mentioned by Yan are not here either. According to Yan's speculation, they are very likely to go out hunting.
Since the main force of the Sea People Tribe was not there, he could just take advantage of the situation and take down the tribe without bloodshed.
Let Yan be the representative and have a good exchange with the tribesmen, so that they would submit to him obediently.
The people of the Sea People Tribe seemed to have recognized their chief.
Although he had changed a little, they still recognized him.
Some of the brave tribesmen walked forward slowly, and when they saw that the "iron men" around them did not attack them because of their actions, they slowly walked in front of Yan.
@#$ # % # ……
Krober ignored what they were talking about, but instead focused on the camp.
The level of civilization development of the Sea People Tribe was very low, which Krober could understand.
But he did not expect it to be so low.
In Krober's mind, this kind of civilization with at least hundreds of years of development history should at least have a certain embryonic form of civilization.
But the Sea People Tribe was not like this, and their lifestyle was still relatively primitive.
From the outside, the low wooden wall may be the greatest manifestation of the civilization of the Sea People Tribe.
Entering the wooden wall, most of the sleeping bags are made of animal skins, and only a small number of sparse wooden houses are scattered in the open space.
In the center of the gathering place, there is a huge bonfire, which should be the center of the Sea People Tribe. Moreover, the closer to the bonfire, the more sleeping bags there are, and vice versa.
So the bonfire also takes on most of the role of resisting the cold and providing warmth.
"It seems that the Sea People Tribe should be in the transition stage from the most primitive bonfire group era to the wooden house era."
Looking at the crude tools in the hands of this group of tribesmen, Krober seemed to understand why wooden houses were so scarce.
"It's good enough that they can build the wooden wall."
Shaking his head helplessly, it seems that this group of tribesmen still need to be domesticated to a considerable extent before they can be considered to be put into the territory as people.
Before that, they can only adapt to the new society as slaves.
Yan had spent about four months adapting before. Judging from the current situation, as long as there is enough time, the Sea People Tribe should still have a great chance of being successfully domesticated.
Although they are wild, they also have a certain intuition similar to that of wild beasts, which can distinguish dangers and make the most suitable choices for the survival of the tribe.
And even if there is a food crisis in the tribe, they still did not abandon the old, weak and sick in the tribe.
This move still made Krober feel very relieved.
At least, the Sea People Tribe still has humanity.
Unlike a certain island nation race in Krober's impression, they will throw the elderly at home to the mountains to fend for themselves if they can't support them. This behavior makes Krober despise them very much.
(This race is purely fictional, I hope the reviewer will rest assured)
Krober, who was carefully observing the details of the Sea People Tribe, was led by Yan, who had finished talking to the tribe members, and walked to the front of the team.
!
It's a bit ambiguous, buddy!
Since the last time Krober patted Yan on the shoulder and comforted him on the boat.
Yan seemed like a different person. The most obvious sign was that he used more body language towards Krober.
This made Kroeber feel very awkward. Although he also refused and even scolded him, Yan's action was completely subconscious.
Because in Yan's cognition, only people with a very close relationship would interact with each other through physical movements, which was a manifestation of trust between him and Kroeber.
Kroeber could also feel that Yan's attitude towards him had changed a lot, but for some reason, he always felt that this change did not seem to be loyalty.
The three words "conquered" seemed to be the most appropriate to describe it.
And Yan just pulled his arm at most, and there was no excessive action, so Kroeber did not care about this action.
He brought Kroeber to the tribesmen of the Sea People, and said a lot of words, and then this group of tribesmen knelt on the ground one after another, chanting something in their mouths.
Kroeber curiously asked Yan what he had said to this group of tribesmen during this period. He had not shown much muscle, so why did they surrender so quickly?
Yan's answer was also very simple.
"I didn't say anything, sir."
"I just said that you will lead us to have enough food. In return, we will all join your army and serve you until death."
Yan didn't lie. The Sea People Tribe was deeply troubled by food shortages. Otherwise, it would not have been able to develop for such a long time with such a small population.
There was not much food on the island, so they could only fish at the seaside. In the end, they could only find some unknown weeds and shrubs in the woods as food.
As a result, many people died of eating. When they died, their stomachs were still bloated. Before they died, they kept shouting about stomach pain, which made them unanimously believe that it was a punishment from the holy beast.
As a result, they dared not run to the forest to find food.
Now that someone is willing to feed themselves, as long as they can survive, they can do anything!
This is a very simple thought...
"The Sea People Tribe, a total of more than 3,100 people, all swore allegiance to Lord Krober. I hope Lord Krober can show mercy and give us a full meal!"
Yan also knelt on the ground, begging for Krober's mercy.
Kroeber naturally agreed to his request and asked the soldiers to transport a batch of food from the warship.
After all, it was their first meeting, so Kroeber decided to give the tribesmen a real full meal.
Kroeber did not comment on the tribesmen's loyalty, but was driven to desperation by hunger.
After they were full, they would definitely rebel. At that time, it would be time for him to show his true strength and bring fear to the tribesmen.
After distributing the food, Kroeber smiled meaningfully at the tribesmen who were crazy about the food.
And Yan, after seeing the performance of his tribesmen, seemed to have thought of something, and then closed his eyes in pain.
He no longer focused his eyes on the tribesmen, but stood obediently beside Kroeber, lowered his head in silence and stopped talking.
