Allen's suggestion made the two leaders in front of them light up.
Compared with Maggot Eye's previous suggestion, the solution proposed by Allen at this time may be more suitable for their wilderness tribe.
The Natural Temple seems objective and neutral among the wilderness tribes, but in fact, they play an extremely important role in many major events in the wilderness.
Therefore, for the wilderness tribes, they need to prefer the temple, rely on the gods behind it, obtain various knowledge inheritance, and resist the invasion of the civilizations of the north and south continents. At the same time, they need to maintain a certain distance from the temple. If It's not necessary. No one wants the temple to get too involved in tribal affairs.
Of course, the temple has been very measured over the years. Although it has great influence on the major member tribes of the alliance, it has refrained from sending clergy members to dictate tribal affairs.
"Each of the three families sends accounting and taxation members to manage the income of the two fortresses in a unified manner. At the same time, the three parties supervise each other, so there is no need to worry about someone cheating and causing unnecessary conflicts."
"After all, the three of us will be neighbors for a long time in the future. If irreconcilable conflicts arise, it will be a bad thing for each other."
"..."
Allen's solution was a plan that he had planned and thought about for a long time before deciding on it. He considered many aspects. As he pointed out the future future and problems of the three families one by one, he gradually began to understand Maggot Eyes and Ariel's plans. There was a hint of approval on his face.
"It seems that Chief Allen has already thought of a countermeasure and came to discuss it with us!!"
As his emotions calmed down, Ariel returned to his indifferent attitude.
"However, it seems that there is no specific income distribution in your plan!"
Maggot Eyes was already interested, but when Ariel suddenly mentioned interests, he quickly calmed down and turned his focus back to Allen, waiting for his answer.
"The distribution method is naturally based on the fortresses we control each other!"
Allen smiled slightly and said matter-of-factly.
"Of the 70% revenue from the two fortresses, our clan occupies the most important north passage, the Namur Fortress. We should have received an additional portion of the benefits, but as long as everyone agrees to my previous proposal, our clan will only need half of the benefits. .”
"As for how to divide the remaining 35% of the income between you two leaders, you have to discuss it!"
"Hahaha, it seems that Patriarch Allen has no sincerity at all. Since he wants to cooperate, then the benefits should be distributed fairly, so that the cooperation between everyone can last long!!"
Ariel's eyes narrowed slightly, like a hunter who was eyeing his prey. The maggot eyes on the side couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard Ariel's words.
"Yes, this is fair to everyone!!"
"You two, don't you think this is very insincere?"
Allen's expression was as usual. He had long been prepared to be raped. At this time, he looked at the two greedy leaders on the left and right with a smile and said slowly.
"My suggestion is basically a matter of mutual benefit. If the two leaders feel that it is inappropriate, at worst we can just take care of ourselves."
"We didn't say it was inappropriate, we just felt..."
"There's nothing I don't care about. I only take the share that belongs to our tribe. I won't take any more, and I won't give you any less!"
There was a bit of a deadlock in the scene for a while. The three of them sat at the table, looking at each other without saying a word, just to see who would be the first to lose his composure.
The big eyes glared at the small ones, but in the end it was the jackal with the biggest eyes, Maggot Eyes, who couldn't hold it any longer and spoke first.
"I think it's better for everyone to take a step back. Chief Allen, don't insist on your half of the income. We don't want to equalize with you. In this way, Chief Allen, you will take 30%, and our two families will each take 20%. .”
"impossible!!"
"What are you thinking about??"
Allen and Ariel rebutted at the same time, and then looked at each other. Ariel put forward his opinion first.
"I can agree with the 30% accounted for by the Green Field Tribe, but our tribe itself has a 5% share of the fortress revenue, so I want to account for 25%, and the remaining 15% belongs to your Crow's Claw. "
"Ariel!! Don't be such a bully!!"
Before Allen could say anything, Maggot Eyes got anxious first. He stood up on the spot and slapped the table with Ariel, glaring and roaring.
"Nasir Fortress belongs to our two families, why should you account for 10% more than us!!"
"In these years of fighting on the front line, there was never a time when the soldiers of our tribe were not brave enough to go to the front..."
"As for those guys in your tribe who only know how to act recklessly, there is someone in front of you..."
At this time, Allen became a spectator, watching the two tribal leaders who had always lived in harmony, arguing fiercely in front of him.
More than two magic hours passed in a row, and the two sides were still in a stalemate, refusing to give in. Allen knew that if he didn't stop it, there would probably be no outcome to what happened today.
"I've said enough, you two!"
Allen solemnly interrupted the meaningless quarrel between the two leaders in front of him.
"Your quarrels like this are meaningless, calm down!!"
How can they calm down? Ariel and Maggot Eyes are actually already moved and agree with the solution given by Allen. The only thing that hinders their cooperation is the distribution of benefits. If they can get even 1% more benefits, according to the income on the account book, it can be calculated in tens of thousands of gold coins.
"How about I come up with a solution and you two can see if it's suitable?"
Maggot Eyes and Ariel finally stopped arguing and turned their attention to Allen.
"It is impossible for our clan to accept 30% of our clan's income, but I am also willing to make a very sincere concession and subsidize 1% of the share to the clan of Chief Maggot Eyes. As for what Chief Yarel has been insisting on That 5% income, to be honest, according to the previous contract between the three of us, the income from the Namur Fortress has nothing to do with the Snowmi tribe, so if we really want to calculate it, your tribe is only 5% of the income from the Nasir Fortress."
"If the current income from the two fortresses is combined, then your income will be equivalent to 2.5% of the total at most. Do you agree with this calculation, Chief Ariel?"
"But after all, everyone is on the same front now. Chief Yarel, you should also make the necessary concessions. Then on this basis, I think it is not too much to share 0.5% of the profits to Chief Maggot Eyes."
"In the end, our clan has 34% of the total income, leader Ariel's Snowmi has 19.5%, and leader Maggot Eyes has 16.5%. I think this distribution method is fair."
"snort!!"
Ariel's face didn't look good, and he was constantly calculating the pros and cons of such a distribution in his mind, and he had nothing to say for a while.
"I won't do it!! Why should my tribe earn 3% less than his Ariel?"
Maggot Eyes is still unwilling to give up. This is a valuable asset for the future of the tribe. How can he give up so easily.
"Don't go too far, Maggot Eyes!!"
Ariel, who was weighing the matter, was stimulated by these words, raised his voice again on the spot, and got into an argument with Maggot Eye again.
The final negotiation is always difficult, and as the quarrel continues, Allen has to invest in this final negotiation. By the time the three leaders sat down again exhausted, the time had passed from day to night, and the only thing that interrupted them was a delicious meal.
After the dinner, there was another round of intense competition. Allen kept the bottom line of 34%, despite the loud voices of the other two guys.
When a consensus was truly reached, it was already at dawn the next day. When the three legendary leaders, who were considered powerful by outsiders, slowly walked out of the original command post of the fortress with hoarse voices, holding on to the wall, all the soldiers in charge of the guards surrendered. Go for the curious look.
Allen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although both physical and mental fatigue swept over him, the relief after achieving his goal made him feel that all the efforts and sacrifices were worth it. As for the two leaders on the other side who left separately with their heads turned, they were somewhat dissatisfied. However, after the contract was signed, they were able to take over the Nasir Fortress from Allen, which also suppressed their dissatisfaction. In the heart.
It was still divided according to Allen's last proposal, and the three parties confirmed the rights to the proceeds. This was the result of Allen never giving in and sticking to his heart.
The new contract was signed that night after Allen and the others had rested their spirits. However, just after signing the contract, Allen raised another question, which made the three of them's lives become intense again that night.
How to maintain a relationship with the drow in the north is a headache for Allen. There are two allies, Ariel and Maggot Eyes, who are full of hostility to him; at the same time, because he needs the support of the Natural Church For this reason, Allen must be consistent with the natural church on this position.
Until now, Philemon is still staying in the church of Namur Fortress, waiting to discuss the truce with Allen.
Now, with the final contract reached with Ariel and the others, which was actually an alliance in disguise, Allen felt it was time to solve the problem.
When Allen proposed a truce, the table in front of the three of them was almost blown away by maggot eyes. For several years, the tribes of Crow's Claw and Snowmi have been fighting against the drow continuously. Counting the fallen warriors together with their vassals and cannon fodder slaves, the number is almost one hundred thousand.
In addition, the drow occupy the inherent territory that has been inherited by the two races for countless years. All factors combined, this hatred is not something that Allen can easily persuade.
"...Two of you, please don't forget that now our three families have to rely on the interests of the Cator Canyon trade route. If we continue to fight like this and block the trade of the trade route, what will we do to support us?" Clan members??”
Allen persuaded with earnest words. This was also the reason why he dared not mention the armistice until the profit sharing was reached with the other two people. If he had mentioned this matter earlier, the unified tax collection would not have been possible.
"You bastard, don't try to lie to me. After fighting for so long, there are still caravans coming and going, right? I don't see those caravan guys giving up the goods from the north because of the drow!"
The way Maggot Eyes looked at Allen now showed the intention of eating people, he directly slapped his mouth on Allen's face and yelled.
"That's because you didn't notice it!! Go through the account books I gave you before and see how much the fortress's total revenue has dropped in the past two years!!"
Allen never fights an unprepared battle, he has already laid the groundwork before.
"Due to the war with the drow in the past few years, the number of caravans coming and going has been reduced by half!! That means that the income of the three of us has been reduced by half!!"
"Moreover, there are no caravans to transport food, steel and other resources to the fortress. We rely on the few fields around our mountains. How can you feed your people!!"
"Hmph, I think your kid has already dug a hole for us!!"
Ariel's eyes also looked wrong. Only then did he realize that Allen, who had been entangled with them for so long two days ago and signed a new contract, was actually laying the foundation for today's truce.
"Don't even think about the truce. I don't want to be buried in the graves of all the chiefs of my clan after my death. I can't afford that shame!!"
Although Ariel is shrewd, he still has his own persistence in the face of the big rights and wrongs in his heart.
"What I mean is that we have a temporary truce with the Drow, and everyone will recuperate for a while. When we become stronger and form an elite army, we can launch a counterattack at any time!!"
"You yourself know well in your hearts that it is not a problem to have a stalemate with Zall at the gate of Bonn. Otherwise, you would not have been persuaded by me to help me kill Bilaire."
"besides……"
"That won't work either!! I feel aggrieved when I think of those damn bastards still living in the old *zi's castle!!"
Apart from roaring, Maggot Eyes had no other tricks. Just when he wanted to lift the table, he was pinned down by Allen. Even though he tried his best, he could not break away from Allen's suppression.
Ariel, on the other hand, finally regained some sense after Allen's persuasion, and did not say any more words or actions to rebut, but his eyes were still full of unwillingness.
"We have been fighting for so long, and so many warriors have died, but what have you gained?"
Allen could only persuade him earnestly, who asked him to take this job! !
"The strength of the drow is in front of us. If you continue to fight with passion like before, you will not be able to compete with those well-trained drow."
"We need to improve the military fighting, and at the same time, we need to drag more forces in."
"Why do you think I must maintain the Ring of Thorns force? Is it because I hope to use the power of other tribes to help you complete your counterattack!!"
Continuing the role he played last night, Allen only felt that his heart was really tired. Why did all the problems fall on him? In order to persuade these two digger leaders, Allen worked hard and exhausted his brains to find out countless pros and cons. He broke them apart and crushed them to pieces for the two of them. Throughout the night, Ai Luncai finally managed to convince these two guys.
