Chapter 235 The benefits of surrender

There is no doubt that the Wildmane Tribe chose to surrender.

It's not that they are weak, but when the knife is placed on their necks, no one wants to die.

There are many indigenous tribes that really dare to resist and fight. Even the people of the Wild Mane tribe were still sworn to discuss how to argue with Perfict when they came. Even if they chose to surrender, they still had to negotiate a suitable solution. Good conditions come.

They were even prepared to fight to the death. If the white people did not give them a way to survive, they would fight with Perficott.

However, when they actually stood in front of Purficott, facing the extremely oppressive Steam Knight, their previous heroic words became empty words at this moment.

Even the chief who had fought a brown bear with his bare hands did not have the slightest bit of courage in front of Purficott, and could only choose humble surrender in front of her.

But no matter what, this is a good result after all.

After the Wild Mane Tribe chose to surrender, Purficott came up with the terms drawn up in advance by the northern civil servants, telling the other party in detail what they had to bear and what they could get.

To put it simply, the Wildmane tribe surrendered to Purfict, the northern lord, and became subjects under her rule.

Although these requirements seemed a little harsh to the people of the Wild Mane tribe, they were still within the scope of what they could accept, and they were much better than the worst-case scenario they had expected.

At the same time, the Wild Mane Tribe also needs to send at least ten warriors to serve for Purficott. In this case, Perficott does not require that the warriors who come are ancestor warriors, even ordinary people can do it.

After all, the Wildmane tribe was even prepared to have their wealth plundered and their homes invaded by white men.

And because Purficott recognized the scope of their territory, anyone other than herself who wanted to do something without permission on the Wildmane Tribe’s territory would be tantamount to offending Purficott, the Northerner. Realm lord.

But if that were the case, they would not surrender. Instead, they would fight to the death and then flee as a family.

As an obligation to their lords, they were required to pay ten bearskins as tribute every year to show their submission and obedience.

In addition, Purficott only requires that the Wildmane tribe must obey her orders as a lord and abide by the laws she has set, and there are no other requirements.

Now, as the first indigenous tribe to surrender to Perficott, they enjoy preferential treatment. Perficott has determined the scope of their tribe's territory in the name of the lord of the north.

This is not just in name, it also means that Perfectcott will send troops from the north to protect them.

This is rare good news for the Wild Mane tribe. After all, they are a relatively weak tribe, otherwise they would not be driven to live in such a northern place.

Even so, there are still other tribes around them that are occupying their living space.

Now with Purficott's commitment and protection, they can also resist the intrusion of these tribes and gain greater living space.

Although this seems so ridiculous and useless in the face of the doomsday winter two years later, for the current Wildmane tribe, these are major events related to the entire tribe. In addition to these, Purficott also gave the Wildmane tribe twenty muskets. Although they were old models that had been retired by the Imperial Army, they were Zentraedi technology for the indigenous tribes.

However, compared to the muskets, the people of the Wildmane tribe still prefer the hundred steel short axes given to them by Purficott.

For Purficott, this gadget could only be regarded as a daily tool axe, but for the people of the Wildmane tribe, it was a very useful weapon.

So they prefer this instead.

Purficott had no comment and could only respect their thoughts and wishes.

Purficott is relatively kind to her subjects. After the Wild Mane Tribe officially surrendered, she specially sent a civilian official to the Wild Mane Tribe to investigate and understand the situation of the Wild Mane Tribe, and then based on the investigation results Decide how to help the Wildmane Tribe.

Including but not limited to helping them build more comfortable houses, teaching them more advanced planting techniques, and the Wildmane Tribe immediately proposed to Perficott that they wanted a forge capable of smelting iron.

Purficott readily agreed to the Wildmane Tribe's request to forge the furnace. After all, it was really nothing to her.

The lord even designed a new and efficient furnace on a whim. After optimizing the design with jade records, she directly activated alchemy on site and gave it to the people of the Wildmane tribe so that they could take it back directly.

This scene, which was almost miraculous to the primitive indigenous tribesmen, greatly shocked the people of the Wildmane tribe who had no idea what alchemy was. They carried the furnace as if they were protecting holy objects. , prepare to carry it back entirely by manpower.

In a sense, there is nothing wrong with their attitude.

On the one hand, the snow in the North has not yet melted. Even large mules and horses would find it difficult to walk through the snow in this environment. Therefore, the people of the Wild Mane Tribe came here on their legs. Naturally, they could only use their legs. As they didn't have any big animals with them, they could only rely on manpower to carry the furnace back.

On the other hand, the forging furnace is indeed no more than a sacred object for the Wildmane tribe who lack iron smelting technology, especially since this forging furnace was designed and optimized by Perficott himself. Compared with ordinary forging furnaces, It is much easier to use as a furnace.

For the Wild Mane Tribe who has no ability to smelt iron, it is not an exaggeration to treat it as a sacred object.

After sending away the Wildmane tribe with the large and small packages of gifts they had given, Purficott breathed a sigh of relief.

"This way you don't have to worry about whether to clean them all up." Purficott let out a long breath, then looked at the old butler beside him, and ordered him: "Send half of the White Bear Knights, with the flag team as the main force. Unit, let the Wild Mane tribe send people as guides to all the surrounding tribes and let them choose to surrender or be destroyed.

Those who surrender will follow the conditions given by the Wild Mane Tribe, and those who refuse to surrender will send out the Steam Knights to crush them all. "

"Yes, Miss." This time, the old housekeeper did not try to persuade Perfectcott. Sometimes he really wanted his lady to stay kind, but at the same time, he also understood that sometimes what was needed was ruthlessness and decisiveness.

So after Purficott had shown her kindness, it was now time for the old housekeeper to carry out her will.
