I'm Really Strong

As if the Creator wanted to be lazy, the distance units in this world are also meters and kilometers.

The road distance of [-] to several hundred kilometers, if converted into a straight-line distance, would be about [-] to [-] kilometers. Bai Ziqing did some calculations, and it was roughly the distance from Xi'an to Ulaanbaatar (the capital of Outer Mongolia).

If the imperial capital of the empire is compared to Xi'an, and the border of the Baluts tribe is regarded as near Ulaanbaatar, then the foreign ethnic groups in the north are almost Maozi.And the capital of the foreign nation in the north, the fortress city, is almost in a position similar to Irkutsk.

"We don't have any fixed residence, and we feel that it's almost the same here, or we get up when we get news of the invasion of foreign nations, and take our tents to find a new residence.

"Further north across the border, you will find the alien ethnic groups in the north.

"Northern peoples have invaded the territory of the empire year after year, burning, killing and looting all kinds of crimes. Their capital is roughly here, and it is a fortress city..."

Malcolm eloquently introduced the local situation to Bai Ziqing.

Bai Ziqing listened carefully and patiently without interrupting, keeping all the information in his mind.

The empire is huge, almost the size of China plus Outer Mongolia.

But there are far fewer cities than in ancient China. The reason is that there are "dangerous species" in this world.There are large tracts of forests on the map, scattered cities, and the countryside around the cities.

When caravans or circuses travel around, they must ensure that there is enough force in the team to deal with sudden dangerous species, and there are not a few of them who simply die at the mouth of dangerous species.

The east and southeast are bordered by the sea, and the foreign peoples in the south are almost India, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand. The location that should be the Bay of Bengal is also a piece of land.The foreign nations in the West are from Kazakhstan to Pakistan, and it is said that some territories are still in the hands of the empire.

"...Speaking of which, only Lelang City in our generation has been relatively safe and sound these years, probably because the prefect there pays tribute to the northern aliens every year."

Malcolm said so.

Seeing Bai Ziqing's curious expression, he waved his hand.

"I also heard it from a caravan I saw by chance. It was said that "the prefect colluded with the northern aliens". If you think about it carefully, you can probably understand that it is for "survival". For the northern aliens, since it is only for Looting, compared to looting the city at once, is not as real as harvesting one crop at a time. "

"Prefect?"

"...is the boss of the city? A kind of official position." Malcolm thought that Bai Ziqing didn't understand what prefect meant, but he didn't know that Bai Ziqing was just lamenting that this system was too much like ancient China.

"If you want to say how big an official is, I can't tell. It's like the official position of the emperor of the earth, right? In addition to governing the people, he also manages the appointment of officials, the litigation of cases, and the army of the territory."

"Oh, to put it simply, as the head of the Public Security Bureau, the head of the Procuratorate, and the head of the District People's Court, plus the civil servant recruitment agency and the head of a warlord, besides that, he must also be the head of the Industry and Commerce Bureau or something..."

The so-called Emperor of Earth is almost worthy of the name.

"...What about the police?" Malcolm didn't understand.

"Ah, it's some official system in my hometown, please don't worry about it." Bai Ziqing waved his hand, "By the way, what's the reason why you didn't go to live in Lelang City?"

"We have to pay taxes, very heavy taxes. After all, apart from the empire's share, there is also a share of the foreign peoples in the north. This money can only be paid from the common people. What's more, our Baluts are used to this A free life."

Malcolm said so.

Immediately, he continued to introduce the situation he knew about the empire to Bai Ziqing, and at this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a warrior of the Baluts tribe walked in, nodded cautiously at Bai Ziqing, and then turned to Bai Ziqing. Malcolm reported.

"...Patriarch, the leader of that foreign nation has woken up."

"Well, then what?"

"He kept yelling things like 'you kill the prince, the king will not let you go'."

The visitor was nervous, repeating the leader's words.

"Prince?" Bai Ziqing tilted his head, "I killed a prince among those people?"

"It seems to be Numa Seka, a young prince of a different race in the north. This time he came out with the team to learn more. It is said that he is a fighter with outstanding talent. He has been able to defeat many adult fighters at a young age... Well, let's talk about this It doesn't seem to make sense, people are dying anyway."

The visitor said so.

Bai Ziqing probably remembered this person, and immediately took a strange look at Esdeth, who had been quietly beside him.He was thinking, this Numa Seka seems to be the idiot-faced Brave of the North who licked Esdesh's shoes?

If you die, you die.

Bai Ziqing saw Malcolm's serious expression, and understood what the patriarch was worried about.

"When do you think the revenge of the alien race in the north will come?"

Bai Ziqing didn't ask such stupid words as "will he come?"Even when there is no enmity or hatred, a small team will be sent to burn, kill and rob, so how can it be possible not to suppress the army when a prince is dead?

"..."

Malcolm clasped his fingers and rubbed his thumbs together.

After a while, Malcolm looked at Bai Ziqing seriously and sincerely, and bowed [-] degrees under his daughter's somewhat surprised but natural gaze.

"I don't know, but please help us."

"That's right, even though he's saying things like 'death means lack of strength', he's a patriarch after all, and he can't be so stupid in this situation—then, my reward is very high."

"What do you need."

Malcolm was decisive.

But Bai Ziqing's answer was more decisive.

"Show me your allegiance."

Chapter 7

Many people gathered outside the tent.

The men and women of the Baluts tribe gathered around, silently waiting for the opinion of the patriarch who opened the curtain and walked out.They didn't know what the patriarch Malcolm and Bai Ziqing said, but what they knew was that there must be some discussion in the tent that would determine the fate of the clan.
