Chapter 237 The Pioneer Team Arrives
In fact, although Purficott sent five steam knights, only one of them actually took action to annihilate the resisting tribal coalition.
The main task of the other four steam knights is to prevent them from escaping, to prevent fish from slipping through the net or any accidents happening.
Because according to the records found by Purficott, when the empire sent troops to conquer the New World, the indigenous tribes of the New World hid beings stronger than the Knights of Honor, especially one of the great shamans. After summoning the tribe's ancestral spirit, he can really be called a demigod on earth.
However, there are only one or two strong men of this level among the indigenous tribes in the entire New World, and naturally there are people of the same level in the empire, and there are more of them.
It's just that the empire did not dispatch strong men of this level to solve the problem at that time. Instead, it directly used several knights and court mages to cooperate with the army to directly kill the opponent.
According to the records that Purficott checked and the results of her inquiry to Foster, although the combat power of this existence that has broken through the registration of knights has a leap, it is not exaggerated. extent.
Relatively speaking, it is probably the level of a knight of honor wearing specially customized steam knight armor.
When the old butler Foster puts on the steam knight armor customized for him by Purficott, he can be regarded as half of this level.
So in order to avoid accidents this time, the five steam knights sent by Perfectcott were all high knights to ensure nothing went wrong.
However, it turned out that she was overly worried. Although the rebel tribal alliance had pulled out more than a thousand people, including two hundred ancestor warriors, there were only seven or eight beings who could reach the same level as the great knight, and even There is no knight level.
Of course and without any surprise, they were completely crushed by a steam knight.
Afterwards, the five steam cavalry soldiers divided into five groups, led by several tribal chiefs, and uprooted the tribes that had joined the resistance alliance. All the men in the tribe who were taller than the wheel were killed, and the women and children were treated as Slaves were divided among the subservient tribes.
This operation is very good at dispelling the empathy of those who surrender to the tribe. After all, women and children are real population for their tribe and can quickly expand the size of the tribe.
As for the food problem, after these rebel tribes were uprooted, the territory they vacated was enough for the surrendering tribes to expand their territories and feed the additional population.
All in all, this is a result that satisfies everyone.
The army of the Northern Lords crushed the rebels with ease, demonstrating its invincible force and establishing the prestige of the Northern Lords.
The tribes that surrendered expanded their territory and population, and showed the benefits and benefits of surrender to other tribes who were still waiting to see. It can be said that everyone got what they wanted.
And what was an unexpected surprise for Purficott was that the ancestral spirits of the annihilated tribes were also brought back by the steam knights.
In the past wars of conquest of the New World by the empire, the imperial army had not completely destroyed the indigenous tribes. They also acquired some of the ancestral spirits of the indigenous tribes, but most of those ancestral spirits were lost shortly after the empire began to study them. It just self-destructed, causing great losses and at the same time, it also frustrated all the empire's attempts to study the ancestral spirits. But it was different here in Purfico. The shamans of the surrendered tribes took the initiative to help and gave these ancestral spirits as gifts to the northern lords, putting them into a state of silence, so that they could be successfully transported to Perfico. in a special laboratory.
Not only that, the Wild Mane Tribe also took the initiative to send a shaman to prepare for Purficott to consult on matters related to the ancestral spirits.
However, although this trophy made Purficott very happy, and she also wanted to rush directly to the laboratory to conduct research, she did not study these ancestral spirits immediately.
Because as the northern border thaws, the first pioneering group has arrived in the northern border.
The long-lost fat man Oliver once again appeared in front of Perfectcott. After saluting her, he reported: "Your Majesty, I brought about five hundred people, because I considered letting them stay in the north. There are a hundred families in total, and most of them are women and children. There are only less than 200 adult men, and the rest are women and children.
There are about a hundred children, none of whom are too young. They are all half-grown boys that I specially selected. They are all little ones who can work with their parents or be sent as apprentices.
However, we don’t have enough food and can only last for a month at most, so we may need your help in this regard. "
Speaking of this, Oliver's face once again showed a philistine that was familiar to Purficott, and he said shyly: "I just don't know where the territory you have given me is arranged, Lord Earl? I still hope to be closer to you, Lord Count, so that I can listen to your orders and serve you at any time. ”
“I think it’s convenient to pick up my wool at any time, right? "Perfect glanced at Oliver, then shook his head, feeling helpless for the fat man.
But even so, she still said to Oliver: "I plan to hand over the fjord to you, although it is now a Military camp, but I want you to build it into a port town.
Because this will become a very important material distribution center for the Northern Territory. Most of the materials from the New World and the mainland will be imported into the Northern Territory from here, so your job is not easy. I hope you have done a good job. Prepare. "
"Don't worry, the White family will not let you down! "Oliver saluted Purfict very formally. This time he used his family's surname as a guarantee.
This made Purfict raise his eyebrows, and then nodded: " I hope you will not insult your surname. I will leave the fjord to you. Those people you bring can settle down in the fjord first.
I remember Grandpa Ah Fu hoarded a lot of wood in the winter. It was originally used as firewood. After burning it all winter, there is still a lot left. You can use it to build a house first, and wait for everyone to settle down. After we come down, we will go to the forest to cut wood and make up for it.
In addition, there are a lot of grain reserves in the Fjord Warehouse that I have hoarded for the winter. If you are short of grain, you can apply to Grandpa Afu. ”
"Thank you for your kindness and generosity! This is really a big help!" Oliver sincerely expressed his gratitude to Perficott. Although he was prepared to start from scratch with nothing, the supplies provided by Perficott It really helped him a lot and could effectively help him get through the most difficult stage at the beginning.
