Power and Empire Chapter 736: Crazy (3)
736 Crazy Three
The controversy in the Hall of Truth has a long history. 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 characteristic of the Dorok General Assembly. Speakers participating in the conference can freely choose whether to participate in the discussion of a certain topic. There is no mandatory requirement for whether to attend the meeting or not.
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 draw in other speakers who can help themselves while waiting for a decision.
This is not forbidden in the Dorok General Council. The fight is placed on the council where they discuss and negotiate, so that the two sides will tear their faces and quarrel without scruple. It is better than directly on the battlefield where the two armies are fighting. It’s much better to go everywhere,
This point is very popular among small tribes with populations of mostly tens of thousands. War is cruel. Rather than the blood from the biting of both sides flowing into a river and eventually becoming the prey of other bystanders, it is better to open a conversation. , As long as it is not a knot that cannot be solved, there will always be a result that can satisfy both parties, only to see which party makes a greater sacrifice
When choosing to enter the conference hall, the seats in the hall were only one-third seated. On the large platform in the distance, the two groups of speakers were arguing fiercely about what, among them, they were sitting on the left side. , An old man in a dark red robe with a red leaf symbol of elm tree flower on his chest is particularly prominent inside,
His voice is loud and vigorous, his sharp triangular eyes, aggressive nose and slightly thin lips, and his square chins all show this old man Stubbornness
He is Botadiak, the patriarch of the Bota tribe in Upper Dorok. Although he is over 60 years old, he is still like an unbendable birch tree. Whether he walks or talks, his degree is very Expressing his emotions quickly is also surprisingly efficient. Whenever there is any dissatisfaction, he will use his heavy nasal to immediately express his contempt and disdain, without the slightest concealment
Like his people, he has a strong sense of humor, open-minded, energetic, and at some point, he is as straightforward as a child
So you can't believe that this is a veteran who has been rushing into battle in many battles, and he is accustomed to seeing life and death. He can't imagine how he, who is known as the polar ice bear, step by step made himself on the battlefield scared by the enemy. Powerful physique, turned into a sharp tongue and tongue that makes the other party speechless
The two parties who are arguing in the hall are fighting each other.
"Your Excellency the President"
A blue-robed waiter sitting at the long table at the door stood up respectfully, and handed a copy of the proposal currently under discussion to Duozhe, and Duozhe looked down. It was about the Bota tribe. The proposal to build a city in the lower reaches of the river within its power,
The Bota tribe ranks 18th among the 64 Dorok Mountain tribes. Its sphere of influence is in the northern part of the Dorok Mountain. It has a population of more than 70,000 people. Because it is close to the cold place, there are In 4 months, the rivers in the territory will be frozen. This is undoubtedly a disaster for the Bota people who rely on mountain logging as their main source of income.
The river is frozen, it is difficult to transport a large number of felled trees through the river across the whole territory, and most of the roads to the outside mountains will be cut off because of the heavy snow.
During this period of time, the Botas were able to nest in the extreme north and live by hunting a unique species of seals that are unique to the local area. The giant seals are huge in size, with a body length of more than 5 meters and a huge mouth. Ya, is the most terrifying beast on the polar ice sheet,
Their huge bodies are covered with thick scales, which can move down the ice like a fish. After observing the shadow of the prey on the ice, they will follow behind, without noticing the prey. In the case of smashing through the thin ice layer from behind, dragging the prey into the water with a mouth full of sharp teeth,
In order to hunt this terrible beast, the Bottas often send teams of varying numbers, one person disguised as bait, and when the giant seal appears under the ice, it will immediately throw out blood dripping. Poultry carcasses attract the attention of the giant seal, and the person who is decoy waits for the opportunity to escape. As long as the giant seal rushes out of the ice, the person lurking a hundred meters away will throw out the sharp harpoon in his hand, thinking in a panic. The giant seal about to retreat into the water nailed to death on the ice
Despite the hunting skills that have been used for thousands of years, many young Bottas have been lost in this hunting. This situation did not improve until the formation of the Dorok City-State Alliance.
With the rise of the commerce industry, the Bota people no longer need to fight for their lives as before. As long as they have enough money or have the wood for exchange, they will store food and supplies for the winter 3 months in advance.
However, the nearby merchants' bidding behavior also overwhelmed the Bota people, and even several fierce conflicts occurred for this.
After several years of preparation, the Botas decided to migrate south, preparing to take advantage of the heat of September to build a settlement on a branch that traverses its entire territory, named "Bornhulus" Bota "City of Hope"
Such a big move quickly caused dissatisfaction in the downstream areas. If the Bota people move south, their sphere of influence will inevitably conflict with the tribes of these downstream mountainous regions, and they have built rivers over hundreds of years. The waterway will also become the best way to invade its territory because of this huge city that suddenly appeared upstream.
Although the number of Botas is not large, they have not been a peaceful tribe. In the struggle against the cruel cold, the determined Botas, regardless of gender, are almost terrible axe warriors. 'S great axe can split the giant tree in the sky, and is also good at splitting the enemy's head.
The polar ice field gave them the most difficult environment, but it also gave the Botas the strongest physique. It is impossible for any heavy-armored unit to compete with the bloodthirsty Bota axe warriors on this polar ice field. ,
These axe warriors with heavy armor and locks on their bodies can run like flying on the slippery ice surface, can easily hit a wooden barrel a hundred meters away with their harpoons, and can stand alone on horses. , Rushing to the five-meter behemoth seal without fear,
They are the veritable masters of the Far North. Their passion, their blood is like the unstoppable ice storm there, enough to make everyone facing them feel shivering,
Someone once calculated that the combat power of 10,000 Bota fighters is equal to 15,000 Dorok elite spear knights, 30,000 Dorok elite swordsmen, and 50,000 Dorok spearmen. , This is in the Dorok Federation, where the total strength is only 120,000 people. Such terrible combat power is enough to break the local balance in any region.
Now these guys are going south, building cities, and controlling the rivers. The less powerful tribes in other areas are immediately stressed. You must know that these grumpy Botas are not good guys, they treat their own people. It’s not uncommon to have a deadly hand. If I want to go to war but dare not, I have to choose to submit this issue to the Dorok City Council.
"How is the situation now?" Closed the information in his hand, turned his head and whispered to the waiter next to him, wanting to know the progress of the issue,
"Not so good. The Botas have a very firm attitude, saying that building the city is imperative. Regardless of whether the council agrees or not, they are ready to go their own way."
The waiter’s answer made the corners of his mouth smile. Such a belligerent Bota is naturally also an object he urgently needs to fight for. Before, he was still thinking about how to drag the Bota, who has always been maverick into it. Your own camp, now it seems, this is really an opportunity not to be missed, using a rich area as bait, not afraid that the Botas will refuse to agree
His appearance attracted the attention of both parties, and the old man in the dark red robe turned around
"Dangsang"
With the crisp bell, the fierce debate stopped temporarily, Botadiak blushed down from the stage, several tall Bota people followed closely, and his opponents were The faces are as earthy, as if they have not recovered from the blow just now, they seem to be very bad,
Apart from a long distance, this giant-like old man has nodded to the speaker, enthusiastically stretched out a hand like a fan of a cat, and patted it on his right chest, making a dull slap.
"Good day, dear Excellency Tocho, it is a great honor to meet you here," said Botadiak
"Good day, Patriarch Botadiak" Duocho also stretched out his right hand to pat his chest, and responded with a respectful smile, "It's an honor to see you just won a brilliant victory."
"There~IndoMTL.com~There are all trivial things" Botadiak's touted face glowed, and the corners of his mouth grinned, "It is about the upcoming battle with the Speaker Well, I really can’t make it to the table. I heard that the speaker’s proposal is just this afternoon. When that happens, my Botas will definitely be grateful."
The height of Multichoice is also considered tall among the Doroks, about 1.84 meters, but in front of the leader of the Bota tribe, it is only as high as his shoulders, showing the height of the Bota tribe in the ice field. ,
At this moment, this icefield Botaman talked to himself happily with a professional politician smile, which made Docho feel a little lost while talking,
Such a person, who is incompatible with a politician, can become an outstanding general, a chef with high skill but an explosive temper, an outspoken scholar, a craftsman, and a person who likes to drink a little wine. A worker, a gardener who takes care of flowers and plants, can do whatever he does. It is nothing to do with a politician who is full of ghost ideas and lies for fame and gain.
It can be seen that this grumpy Botta can't kick the representatives on the opposite side, knowing from the fists he swings like a wheel, and the look on his face that is sometimes angry and thunderous. Of course, the pressure is not all linguistic,
