North American continent, Blue Ridge Mountains, Wolf Valley.
Morning, six o'clock, the bottom of the valley is flat.
After a night of training, the war dance team of thousands of people is ready to go!
The number of Powhatan people gathered has reached 20,000!
If it weren't for the need to stay behind, the inconvenience of the elderly and the weak, and the venue, I'm afraid everyone would have to come, which would exceed the capacity of Dapingdi.
If the flat ground was not wide enough, there would really be no more suitable place than here.
At the corner, in front of the large rocks extending out.
Tens of thousands of Powhatan natives generously donated gems and gold.
Not long after, a dazzling golden mountain several meters high appeared in everyone's eyes.
The natives looked satisfied.
Jin Yan looked at Opekan and the others. Although Jinshan was not small in size, there was still a big gap between it and the ten-meter-high boulder.
Opekan's greedy eyes were also fixed on it.
After the arrival of white people, tribal property ownership was broken. Especially after white merchants became active in various tribes, private ownership became very popular. Except for some remote places or tribes with strong chiefs, the previous centralized distribution system of tribal property was still followed. .
Under the original system, the top classes such as chiefs had the ownership and distribution rights of all tribal property, but now this situation has long been shattered into pieces. Individuals obtain materials through transactions to improve the lives of individuals and families. situation.
At the same time, individuals began to hide high-value items such as gold and gems. If it were placed twenty years ago, this golden mountain would definitely not have existed.
Whether or not to donate a mountain of gold depends on Opekan's words. Naturally, his right to speak is different from today.
In the face of this change, Opekan was powerless and could not stop it. To put it bluntly, the yearning for a better life is the driving force for human development. Anyone who wants to go against the current will definitely end up with a bloody head.
At the scene, only Opekan and more than 20 clan leaders were left without taking action. All the natives looked at these people with bright eyes and expectantly. The vanity of accommodating Opekan and others was satisfied, and he was about to open his mouth to show off. when.
"Chief, the Cherokees are coming. Lots of them are coming! Lots of them!" A young man on guard ran over quickly. Instead of reporting to Opekan, he shouted to Jin Yan.
Jin Yan smiled slightly: "Chief, how about waiting a moment before dedicating the gold mountain to the gods, and letting the Cherokee people see the gold mountain of the chief and clan leaders?"
Opekan laughed: "Chief Jinyan is right, we will definitely open the eyes of the Cherokee people."
Opekan did his job and took over the command: "Let the Cherokees come in and get out of the way!"
Jin Yan took a step back and did not deliberately fight for power at this time, which could be regarded as saving the greatest face for the great chief Opekan.
The smile on Opekan's face became even brighter. Since yesterday, his position as chief has been seriously challenged. Although Jin Yan belongs to the tribe leader of the Tao tribe of the tribal alliance, because she is the messenger of the gods, her right to speak instantly exceeds Everyone, including him as the chief!
Now Jin Yan has taken a step back, which in Opekan's view is a sign of knowing how to advance and retreat, and being submissive, and his hostility towards Jin Yan is much less.
Just when he was secretly proud of himself, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the Cherokee who walked in from the mouth of the valley.
Opekan's expression also became strange.
It was not that he had never interacted with the Cherokee, but the Cherokee who came over at this moment were really different.
All handsome men and beautiful women, of course, except for the Cherokee war chief Thunder Horse, who is about the same age as him. This guy is in his forties, so he must be considered a handsome man!
What surprised Opekan and other Powhatan people was not only the appearance of these people, but also the fact that each of these young people was wearing the most gorgeous clothes, and at worst, clean and tidy animal skins.
Moreover, what everyone found incredible was that when this large group of people came over, the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of flowers.
In contrast, the Powhatan people were like poor people, living in ruins.
This feeling of being compared with others made all the Powhatan people unhappy. At the same time, they also felt a little inferior in their hearts. They involuntarily gave way to the venue and allowed about three thousand carefully selected Cherokee people to walk in.
What makes Opekan's face even more ugly is that the leader of the thunder horse wears colorful eagle feathers, platinum divine armor, and a sword hanging from his waist. Even if he is not riding his white horse named Thunder Beast, he is still full of aura. , directly covering everyone in the audience!
Suddenly, it became the center of attention.
Even though Ye Niu and other young men wore the same platinum divine armor, their auras were completely suppressed.
Lei Ma and others felt that they had shocked the audience with their entrance, and they were extremely happy and excited!
Shui Lian also dressed up carefully today. She was dressed in a white leather coat made of tiger skin, which made her stand out in the crowd. Her tall figure, fair cheeks, and beautiful appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Even Opekan's eyes moved from Thunder Horse to Shui Lian.
His heart was pounding. He had long heard that Rema's daughter Shui Lian was the most beautiful Cherokee. He didn't quite believe it. When he saw her, Opekan's mouth went dry.
Shui Lian locked onto Jin Yan as soon as she came in.
Jin Yan was the only woman wearing platinum divine armor, and she was standing not far from the great chief. What made Shui Lian even more sure was that Ju Chu had said that Jin Yan was the most beautiful girl in Powhatan, so it must be her.
Shui Lian nodded slightly and smiled at Jin Yan.
Opekan felt dizzy. The most beautiful woman, Shui Lian, actually smiled at me?
Is she interested in me?
Just when Opekan was thinking wildly, he heard Rema's thick voice.
"Dear Chief Golden Swallow, I am Cherokee Rema, and this is my daughter Peace Chief Water Lotus. On behalf of the Cherokee Nation, we thank you for your generosity, and thank you for agreeing to allow us to participate in this event."
Jin Yan took a step forward and said calmly: "Chief Lei Ma, Chief Shui Lian, it is the will of the gods to allow you to participate. No need to thank you, you are welcome. I think the Sun God will be very happy to see you in a while!"
Opekan was furious in his heart, but his face remained calm. He smiled and said: "Thunder Horse, although it is said to be an invitation from the gods, you are not sincere. I think the Sun God may not be happy."
Lei Ma smiled: "Sincerity? I wonder what the sincerity Chief Opekan is talking about? Is it this Jinshan?"
"You Powhatan people are really sincere. For such a large tribe to have such a mountain of gold, I don't think the chief has much sincerity!"
Rema's mocking words and provocative eyes made Opekan furious.
"This is just a gift from the tribe to the gods. Our gift has not been delivered yet. Since Chief Leima wants to know my sincerity, well, I will let Chief Leima open his eyes!"
Opekan waved his hand.
The guards, who had been preparing for a long time, came out carrying animal skin bags one by one.
Under Opekan's proud gaze, the animal skin bags were dumped to the ground one by one.
Before long, a mountain of gold had been piled up.
It is taller than the Jinshan Mountain of the original clan members by more than half a person, and has long surpassed the big stone!
"Powhatan Chief Opekan also presented countless fine wines and thousands of gems!"
Following the guard's words, other guards moved rum, brandy and other foreign wines to the Jinshan Mountain, and also decorated the Jinshan Mountain with a thousand gems!
