"Let me ask, who should bear the capital investment of tens of millions of gold coins and a large amount of manpower investment??"
The Centaur representative lay down on a special chair and asked a series of serious questions in an understated manner.
"Also, the location of this tunnel is chosen. The radiation range is only a thousand miles, and it will inevitably only bring changes and impacts to the territories of a few surrounding tribes. Then, will representatives of other tribes who cannot benefit from it be willing?"
"Anyway, if it were our royal court, we wouldn't bear any investment."
"..."
This is a very real problem. Because the Centaur Grassland itself is adjacent to the Heron Continent, the Mansha Mountains to the west have the least impact on them. Although the water resources are not abundant, they are not scarce, so changing the natural environment will have a negative impact on the Centaur and Horse systems. It doesn't have any appeal.
"Everyone, you can't just look at the present!! If this thing is really done, then the wilderness will be full of life in the future, and the population of your various races will definitely increase exponentially!!"
Seeing the indifferent expressions on the faces of the surrounding representatives, Plaka said sadly.
"And the so-called investment, as long as more than a hundred member tribes of the Wilderness Alliance can be persuaded to do this together, the investment per tribe will not be too much when divided!!"
The faces of the representative priests of the churches such as Ziran and Ranger were actually even more excited. For their respective churches, the greater the population in the wilderness means the more believers they have to herd, and the increase in believers naturally means that they have more believers. The great being who serves is even more powerful.
It's just a pity that the church's high-level combat effectiveness and the quality of its members are great, and the various resources accumulated by the church are not comparable to those of ordinary tribes in the wilderness. But such a large-scale, extremely long-term project, even if the natural gods gather together It is difficult for all churches to promote on a large scale. At most, they can only dig out one or two channels like the Green Field Tribe.
One or two passages are really a drop in the bucket for the entire vast territory of the wilderness. The distance between the north and south midline of the wilderness alone is more than 15,000 miles. The wilderness itself is an irregular shape that is constantly curved. The actual length of the East and West Mansha Mountains will only be longer, not shorter.
If it is impossible to excavate mountain passages on a large scale, then Plaka's proposal is useless, at least to the group of rational guys in front of them, it is not very convincing.
Allen twitched his chubby nose, feeling somewhat complicated.
If this plan is passed at this small circle meeting at this time, wouldn't it mean that what the Green Field Tribe has required hundreds of years of persistence and effort, and a huge amount of resources and manpower to accomplish, other tribes can do in the end? Get the maximum results at a smaller cost; but if no one pays attention to this plan, then as the pioneer of this precedent, I may be a bit stupid in the eyes of outsiders.
Of course, Allen himself knew how much intangible and long-term benefits his tribe had gained from this passage. At this time, he only had some ambivalence because of the expressions and feelings of the core members of the alliance.
The final result was as expected by Allen. Only the members of the Rangers and the Sprout Church gave Plaka a vote of approval. Although most of the other members did not make clear objections like the three members of Centaur, they also did not Support Plaka's proposal.
The approval vote did not reach half of the number of representatives present, so the first proposal was stopped. Then Da Vinci looked at the crowd and asked other members about the second issue.
"...According to the alliance's charter, since the Drowkia Federation has been accepted as a member of the alliance, are they also eligible to participate in our circle? Regardless of the overall strength of the drow, or from their half of the federation, As far as the existence of God is concerned, it seems that he is more qualified to sit here than a certain guy."
Doris, the priest of the Church of Nature who was wearing an earthy yellow divine robe, glanced at the silent Allen and slowly raised the issue of their church.
"I object!!"
Bricken's gloomy voice sounded right after Doris finished speaking.
"They are a group of shameless invaders. Now the territory they live in has been snatched from the hands of my native tribe in the wilderness. What qualifications do they have to join the core circle of the alliance??"
"Don't forget, there are many tribes in the wilderness. They are originally opposed to the drow joining the alliance. If they are accepted into our circle again, I am worried that the alliance will be completely destroyed. of division!!”
While expressing his attitude, Bricken glanced at Allen's position.
Allen himself was a little surprised by the Nature Church's proposal. Although he originally wanted to remain silent during this meeting, just with an attitude of learning and observation, but now that he heard the Nature Church's issues, he still felt that It is necessary to express your dissatisfaction.
"This is my first time to participate in the meeting. I originally just wanted to learn from you. However, since the issues raised by Taorisi Priest are related to our northern border, I think it is still necessary to express our views on behalf of the six northern tribes. Attitude!!"
"Back then, the Alliance did not support the northern border as stipulated in the charter, allowing the drow to march straight in and seize millions of square miles of territory. The explanation given to us by the Alliance was that because the threat from the human coalition was greater, the Alliance could not fight on two fronts."
"Okay, for the sake of the overall interests of the wilderness, we will endure it. We rely on our own strength to block the drow army heading south!!"
"But after the human coalition signed an armistice agreement with the Alliance, and the war with the Orc Empire came to an end, what we were waiting for was not Alliance employees and concerns, but some forces persuading us to give up the cold wind hills, Bonn City and other lands in the north. , making it impossible for Snowmi and Crow Claw to return to their homeland!!"
"what is this??"
"Didn't we, the six tribes in the north, contribute our own strength to counterattack the human coalition? Nearly a thousand warriors of the Green Field tribe commanded by me alone died in the battle on the Centaur Grassland, as well as Ah, the predecessor of Green Field. The Jinaga tribe has thousands of people!!"
“We shed our lives and blood for the Alliance, how does the Alliance treat us??”
"Abandon the Cold Wind Hills, give up the Boyne Basin, and accept the drow as a member of the alliance...isn't this concession enough? Now you actually want the drow to participate in the core interests of the wilderness. Then I am very confused. What will happen to the alliance? Where do we put the six tribes in the north?!"
Since Allen is taking advantage of the situation, since he is speaking for the first time, he must speak loudly so that no one can underestimate him because of his relative weakness in strength and position. At the same time, he really wanted to vent to the inner circle of the alliance about the unfair treatment they had received over the years for his partners in the north.
Just like what he said in his previous speech at the alliance conference, he hopes to become a supporter and voice for the weak in the alliance, and the six northern tribes themselves are actually such existences! !
Bricken's eyes were burning and he looked at Allen, a bugbear full of fighting spirit, with approval. What he wanted was such a new face that looked full of thorns to fight for the best interests of the native tribes in the wilderness, not for the so-called The overall situation, long-term considerations and other high-sounding things will harm the living space of the wilderness natives.
The faces of other representatives were more or less ugly. What Allen said made them unable to refute, but it also hurt their sensitive hearts. When they glanced at Allen, a newcomer, their eyes were mostly unhappy.
"This is all in the past. Now we all need to take a long-term view. There are two civilized forces in the north and south, each eyeing our wilderness. The natural god system has lost its most powerful god. If we don't find other foreign aid, Aren’t the tribes in the wilderness still suffering in the end when they fight against humans and elves?”
Doris' face was cold, her eyes were like two knives, piercing Allen, and she defended forcefully.
"Priest, you also said that the elves are eyeing our wilderness, but who is really fighting against the elves in the north? Isn't it our tribe in the north?"
"If the wilderness acts unjustly and forces us to lose the courage to continue to follow, and we go directly to the elves, then will you, the priests, feel that you are the one who forced us into desperation!!"
Allen was tit for tat. Even though he knew that the Church of Nature now has great influence and status in the wilderness, he did not like the philosophy and style of the Church of Nature anyway, and his relationship with the oak camp was too close. It was impossible to have both sides. , so he is not afraid to confront the Natural Church head-on.
"Are you threatening us?"
Doris's face changed drastically, and her eyes became sharper and gloomier.
"I'm just reminding you that the six tribes in the north have kept in mind what the alliance has done in the past, and they are still willing to abide by the rules of the alliance. It is because we still have feelings for the wilderness and the natural gods, but if we continue to be like this... The hearts of our tribes, then our six tribes need to think carefully, master will continue to maintain the relationship with the alliance!!"
Boom! ! !
"You can try!!"
Doris slapped the table, stood up and glared at Allen fiercely.
The other representatives around were also shocked. What Allen said was really shocking to the Mansa Alliance. If they really did this, it would be irreparable damage to the cornerstone of the alliance, so some people spoke directly to ease the atmosphere at the start.
"Chief Allen, calm down, aren't we all discussing this?"
"Chief Allen, please carefully weigh what you say before you speak..."
"Alan!! You have to take responsibility for what you say!!"
Plaka's tone was relatively soft. After all, Allen was considered a member of their oak camp. Although his words at this time were too bold and radical, he still believed that Allen might not really think so in his heart.
On the other side, Da Vinci, Marvin and others had stern expressions, solemnly reminding Allen, obviously very dissatisfied with Allen.
Bricken originally admired Allen as a bugbear, but now after hearing Allen's powerful words, he couldn't help but shook his head, feeling somewhat disappointed.
"...I'm just stating a fact that you don't want to think about!!"
Allen's face was expressionless, although he also knew that what he said now was indeed a bit glib, and the words spread would have a great impact on the entire wilderness. But it is undeniable that these words have been swirling in Allen's mind for a long time, and now he just said them involuntarily after being irritated.
The alliance between the Church of Nature and the Drow poses a great threat to the Northern Territory, and the Oak camp has been severely suppressed in recent years. The only influence and supporters in the Northern Territory are the Green Field and Snowmi tribes. , the support given is not great.
As for the Alliance itself, it was indeed because of the Nature Church's plan to win over Spider Queen Rose as an ally that it cooperated with its actions. On the contrary, it did not care too much about the interests of the northern tribes.
These are also the important reasons why several tribes in the Ring of Thorns were finally willing to follow Allen when he advanced to demigod to seek support.
The North has not had a strong leader for too long who can lead everyone to fight for the interests that should belong to them in the alliance. The alliance has repeatedly ignored the demands and safety of the northern tribes, violated the alliance's charter, attracted foreign tribes, and nourished the central and southern tribes, which also disappointed the northern tribal leaders.
The northern tribes, who are gradually being marginalized, have always dared not speak out when faced with unfair treatment, because after weighing the pros and cons in everyone's minds, they also understand that only by relying on the Alliance can they resist the elves, dwarves, and even the zodiacs. your capital. Without the main body of the alliance, as long as these forces have any covet or intention towards the Northern Territory, the tribes in the Northern Territory actually have no qualifications to resist.
But Allen understands better that the relationship between the alliance and the northern tribes is interdependent. Although there are strong and weak ones, as long as they are operated properly, the weaker party is also qualified to destroy the stronger party.
It seems like a powerful alliance, but it is an existence united by tribes like Luye and Snowmi. If six tribe members suddenly break away from the alliance due to unfair treatment, then who can guarantee that there will be no There are other tribes that have suffered injustice, and they don't want to follow suit. And if the tribes in the north really surrender to the elven kingdom in the north and become dependent on the elves, these representatives in front of them absolutely believe that the elves will give Alan and them very generous treatment and accept them happily.
It's just that in the past, the Northern Territory was not where it is now, and there was no strong leader like Allen who dared to tear through this layer of window paper that everyone ignored.
Since he wants to break the balance that has existed for many years, Allen must show some of the chips in his hand to let people know that he does have the capital to sit at this table. And Allen knew better that the reason why he put these words on the table was that he himself would not make such a choice.
The situation became silent for a while until Da Vinci spoke again: "Everyone vote on whether Zall can join our decision-making team!!"
No one raised their hands to agree, including Doris, the priest of the Church of Nature who made the suggestion. He stared at Allen with fearful and cold eyes, and kept his arms between his legs.
