Chapter 232 Exchange of Gifts
Faced with the conditions proposed by Perficott, several ancestral warriors of the Wild Mane Tribe discussed it in a low voice in the indigenous language, and Hutton finally answered. : "Dear Lord, we can't make a decision on this matter. We need to go back and report to the chief, and everyone in the tribe will decide together."
Although judging from what Purficott said, what she said The conditions offered are really not excessive. For the Wildmane tribe, it is no different from surrendering to other powerful tribes.
But the reputation of white people is too bad after all, and no one can guarantee that once the Wildmane tribe surrenders, whether the conditions promised by Perfectcott will be fulfilled.
After all, white people can do all kinds of bad things. They may sound nice but actually want to kill them all.
And to take a step back, having freedom is always better than surrendering to others.
However, the people of the Wild Mane tribe also know that the other party has already said this, and it is unrealistic for them to want to maintain free style.
After all, they also have a clear understanding of the fighting power of their own tribe, and know that they are not good at fighting.
Perfict looked at the people of the Wildmane tribe in front of him, and his sharp eyes seemed to have seen through them all.
Just when Hutton and others were sitting on pins and needles, she finally said: "Okay, since you are the first indigenous tribe I have met, I can give you some preferential treatment. Think about it when you go back. At the same time, tell more people this news. I will give you three days. After three days, I will wait for your answer whether you will surrender or be destroyed.”
After saying that, Purficott looked at John who was bringing them in, and said to him: "Gather your flag team, escort them back, and send the people to their tribe before you can come back."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Earl." John saluted Perficott, and then prepared to take Hutton and others out.
Hutton and the others did not dare to stay any longer after seeing this, but at this moment Hutton suddenly noticed that Perfectcott's eyes had been paying attention to the horsehair on his body, so he took it off after thinking about it. The horse hair on his body was given to Purficott as a gift.
Perfect couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she saw this. She nodded slightly and said, "Interesting, since you gave me a gift, then I will give you a gift too."
< br>Speaking, Purficott casually took a piece of metal ingot placed aside, and then directly activated alchemy to shape it into a very exquisite one-handed battle ax in her own hands. She even had the leisure to do so. Patterns are carved on the ax surface and decorated in different colors.
And all of this only took her a few minutes, and she was able to create a weapon that was a work of art from any angle.
Immediately, she threw the ax to Hutton as a return gift from Hutton for giving her horse hair.
Hutton held the tomahawk, feeling the weight of the tomahawk. He waved it a few times, and a look of surprise and surprise appeared on his face.
He has never used such a handy battle ax, and he has never seen such a beautiful weapon.
Perfect's move unintentionally left a very good impression on the other party.
Afterwards, everyone in the Wildmane tribe saluted Purfict again before leaving her laboratory.
However, it is obvious that their attitude is much more friendly. It is obvious that the ax is particularly convincing and attractive to them.
After leaving the laboratory, John asked everyone in the Wildmane tribe to wait while he went to summon his flag team.
Soon, a team of fully armed White Bear Knights appeared in front of Hutton and others. Looking at the group of warriors wearing iron armor and equipped with sharp swords and various weapons in front of them, Hutton and others suddenly became nervous after they had relaxed because of Purficott's friendly attitude.
Of course they could see that the group of fully armed warriors in front of them were the same existence as the ancestor warriors, but their sophisticated equipment was not something that the ancestor warriors could possess.
There is no doubt that this is a show of force by the other party.
Hutton looked at the opponent's sophisticated equipment and couldn't help but mentally evaluate how capable they were.
However, the result was frustrating, because in Hutton's view, the opponent's team of fully armed warriors was enough to defeat all the ancestral warriors of the entire Wildmane tribe.
Obviously, this team of warriors is not the only one on the other side.
An ancestral warrior next to Hutton couldn't help but asked John in half-baked Victorian: "How many such warriors do you have?"
Because the opponent's Victorian was really bad, Hearing that John was confused, he could only look at Hutton, hoping that he could explain.
Hutton asked quickly, and then explained to John: "He wants to know how many warriors like you are there."
Hearing this question, John was stunned for a moment , then thought for a while and said: "If you are asking how many warriors like me are there in the Earl's territory, there are probably more than a hundred.
The empire is different from you, like us A team of more than a dozen people is called a flag team, and a group of multiple flag teams is called a knighthood
The Earl currently only has one knighthood, the White Bear Knights, with a total number of about 120 people. However, if the Earl needs it, she can transfer ten times the number of knights from the country at any time.
In the empire, there are about 50,000 to 60,000 registered knights, but most of them are stationed in the mainland and various colonies of the empire, and it is difficult to mobilize them all.
Normally, the empire would invest a maximum of about 3,000 to 5,000 knights in a war, which would be the limit. ”
This is not confidential information. Even ordinary people in the empire can know this. They only need to inquire a little.
In fact, in the past, for the nobles, The number of knights owned is the most intuitive reflection of a noble's strength. Therefore, for the empire, announcing the number of knights owned by the empire is an act of demonstrating its strength
So John didn't think there was anything wrong with telling the other person this.
When they heard the numbers that John said, the color on the faces of Hutton and others was completely gone. They even followed John and others out of Eagle Beak Cliff in a daze, and when they came to the outside of the camp, they were blown away by the cold wind. "Blow," he finally came to his senses after being called out again by his companion who was left behind.
Afterwards, they were not in the mood to explain too much to their companions who were left behind. After simply explaining the situation, they led the White Bear Knights to follow them in the direction of the tribe.
At this time, Hutton and others had no intention of considering whether these White Bear Knights following them would expose the location of the Wild Mane Tribe.
What they were thinking about at the moment was to go back and tell the people in the tribe what happened.
