The debate in the Hall of Truth has been going on for a long time. The General Assembly held every three years is the most important meeting of the Dorok City-State Alliance, but not all tribes participate.

This is a feature of the Dorok General Assembly. Each speaker participating in the meeting is free to choose whether to participate in the discussion of a certain topic. There is no mandatory requirement for whether to attend as a non-voting witness.

Therefore, for many issues, only representatives from both sides of the issue will participate. Most other speakers will choose to use this time to rest or recruit other speakers who can help them while waiting for a decision.

This is not prohibited in the Dorok General Council. It is better to place the fight in a parliament where mutual discussions and consultations are held, and let the two sides tear their faces and quarrel without scruples than to place the fight directly on the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, with corpses everywhere. Much better,

This point is very popular among small tribes with a population of only tens of thousands. War is cruel. Instead of bleeding into rivers and eventually becoming the prey of other bystanders, it is better to have a discussion. As long as it is not No matter what the knot is that cannot be untied, there will always be a result that satisfies both parties. It just depends on which party makes the greater sacrifice.

When Duozhi walked into the conference hall, only one-third of the seats in the hall were occupied. On the stage in the distance, the speakers divided into two groups were arguing fiercely. Among them, sitting on the left, a xiong The old man in a dark red robe with the symbol of elm flower and red leaves on his mouth is particularly prominent inside.

He has a loud voice, a strong spirit, a pair of bright triangular eyes, a rather aggressive nose, a slightly thin mouth, and his square double chin, which all show the old man's temperament. stubborn

He is Botadiak, the chief of the Bota tribe of Upper Dorok. Although he is over sixty years old, he is still like an unbending birch tree. Whether he is walking or talking, he expresses himself very quickly. His emotional speech is also surprisingly efficient. When he encounters any dissatisfaction, he will use his heavy nasal voice to immediately express his contempt and disdain without any concealment.

Like his people, he has a great sense of humor, is open-minded and full of energy. At certain times, he is as straightforward as a child.

So much so that you simply can't believe that this is a veteran who has charged into battle in many battles and is used to seeing life and death. You can't imagine how he, known as the polar ice bear, can step by step use his powerful physique to frighten the enemy on the battlefield. Transformed into a sharp and sharp sword that leaves the other party speechless.

The two sides arguing in the hall were quarreling with each other, and no one noticed Duo Zai coming in.

"His Excellency the Speaker"

A blue-robed priest sitting in front of the long table at the entrance stood up respectfully and handed a bill currently being discussed in his hand to Duo Ze. Duo Ze lowered his head and looked at it. It was about Botta. The tribe’s proposal to build a city downstream of the river within its territory,

The Bota tribe ranks 18th among the 64 Dorok mountain tribes. Its sphere of influence is in the northern section of the Dorok Mountains, with a population of more than 70,000. Because it is close to the cold land, there are four months in December a year. , the rivers in the territory will freeze, which is undoubtedly a disaster for the Bota people who rely on mountain logging industry as their main source of income.

When the rivers are frozen, it will be difficult to transport a large number of felled trees through the rivers that cross the entire territory. Most roads to the outside mountains will also be cut off due to heavy snow.

During this period of time, the Bota people were able to live in the far north and make a living by hunting a unique kind of seal in the area. This giant seal is huge, with a body length of more than 5 meters, and a huge mouth with fangs. The most terrifying beast on the polar ice sheets,

Their huge bodies are covered with thick scales, and they can swim under the ice like fish. After observing the shadow of their prey on the ice, they will follow it without the prey noticing. , breaking through the thin ice from behind, dragging the prey into the water with its mouth full of sharp teeth.

In order to hunt this terrible beast, the Bota people often send out teams of varying numbers, with one person acting as bait. When they find the giant seal appearing under the ice, they will immediately throw out the bloody bird carcasses. Attracting the giant seal's attention, the bait man is waiting for an opportunity to escape. As soon as the giant seal breaks out of the ice, the man lurking a hundred meters away will throw out the sharp harpoon in his hand and reveal his thoughts. Giant seal trying to retreat into water is nailed to ice

Despite thousands of years of hunting skills, many Bota young people still lost their lives in this kind of hunting. This situation did not improve until the Dorok City-State Alliance was established.

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

However, the Bota people were overwhelmed by the price hikes by nearby merchants, and even had several fierce conflicts over this.

After several years of preparation, the Bota people decided to move south, preparing to take advantage of the heat of September to build a settlement on a branch across their territory, named "Bernhurus" in Bota language. "City of Disappearance"

Such a big move quickly aroused dissatisfaction in the downstream areas. If the Bota tribe moved south, their sphere of influence would inevitably conflict with the tribes in the lower mountainous areas, and the river waterways they had established over hundreds of years would also be lost. Because this huge city suddenly appeared upstream, it became the best way to invade its territory.

Although the Bota tribe is not large in number, it has never been a peaceful tribe. In the struggle against the brutal cold, the resolute Bota people, regardless of age or sex, are almost all terrifying ax warriors, wielding giant swords in their hands. The ax can split the giant trees in the sky, and it is also good at splitting the heads of enemies.

The polar ice sheet gave them the most difficult environment, but it also gave the Bota people the strongest physique. It is impossible for any heavy armored unit to compete with the bloodthirsty ax warriors of the Bota tribe on this polar ice sheet.

These axe-warriors, who wear heavy armor with animal skins and lock plates, can run as fast as they fly on the slippery ice. They can easily shoot barrels a hundred meters away with their harpoons. He rushed toward the five-meter-long monster seal in fear,

They are the veritable masters of the Far North. Their passion and blood are like the unstoppable ice storm there, enough to make everyone who faces them feel trembling with fear.

Someone once calculated that the combat effectiveness of 10,000 Bota warriors is equal to 15,000 elite Dorok spear knights, 30,000 elite Dorok swordsmen, and 50,000 Dorok spearmen. This is The total military strength of the Dorok Federation is only 120,000. Such a terrifying combat power is enough to upset the local balance in any region.

Now these guys want to go south, build cities, and control rivers. The smaller tribes in other areas immediately feel the pressure. You must know that these Bota people with bad temper are not easy to get along with, and they will kill their own people. It’s not like things have never happened before. I wanted to start a war directly but didn’t dare, so I had to choose to submit this issue to the Dorok City-State Council.

"How is the situation now?" Duo Ze closed the document in his hand, turned around and asked the shi next to him in a low voice, wanting to know the progress of the issue.

"It's not good. The Bota people are very resolute and say that building the city is imperative. Regardless of whether the council agrees or not, they are ready to go their own way."

The shishi's answer made Duo Ze smile. Naturally, such a belligerent Bota tribe was also someone he urgently needed to win over. Previously, he was still thinking about how to drag the always maverick Bota tribe into his own. camp, now it seems that this is an opportunity that cannot be missed. Using a rich area as bait, they are not afraid that the Bota tribe will not agree.

His appearance attracted the attention of both parties, and the old man in dark red robe turned around

"Clang"

With the crisp ringing of the bell, the heated debate was temporarily suspended. Botadiac walked down from the stage with a red face, followed closely by several tall Botards. The opponents opposite him all had faces. As earth-colored, it seems that he has not recovered from the blow just now, and he looks very bad.

From a long distance away, this giant-like old man had already nodded to the President, enthusiastically stretched out a hand like a cattail leaf fan, put it on his right chest and patted it, making a dull tapping sound.

"Good day, Your Excellency Doze, it is such an honor to meet you here," Botadiac said

"Good day, Patriarch Botadiak." Duoze also stretched out his right hand and patted his chest, and responded with a respectful smile, "It's an honor to see you just achieved a brilliant victory."

"There, there, they are all trivial things that are not worth mentioning." Botadiac's face glowed as he was praised, and he grinned widely. "Compared with the battle that the Speaker of the General Assembly is about to start, these things of mine are really nothing." I heard that the proposal of His Excellency the President Speaker will be made this afternoon. I, the Bota tribe, will definitely be grateful and repay my kindness by then."

Duozhe'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 as high as his shoulders. It can be seen that the Bota tribe in the ice field are tall.

But at this moment, this Icefield Botta man was chatting and laughing with him with a smile like a professional politician, which made Duoze feel a little absent-minded during the conversation.

Such a person, who is incompatible with a politician, can become a general with outstanding achievements, a chef with high skills but explosive temper, an outspoken scholar, a craftsman, and a worker who likes to drink a little wine. A gardener who tends flowers and plants can do anything, but he has nothing to do with politicians who are full of evil ideas and lies to fight for fame and fortune.

It can be seen that the bad-tempered Botta man suppressed several representatives on the opposite side and was unable to breathe. Judging from the fists he waved like wheels and the expressions on his face that were sometimes angry and sometimes violent, we knew that this kind of pressure was certainly not enough. It must be all about language,
