After learning that the Britannians declared war on them, there are 27 of them who choose to surrender, and 2 of them who choose to resist stubbornly. They have not made any statement yet, and have not said whether they want to surrender or resist.
The two tribes that choose to resist stubbornly happen to be the two strongest tribes: the Hele tribe and the Koran tribe.
The three tribes that have not made any statement so far are the Lago tribe, the Qike tribe, and the Mahe tribe.
Vivian's mission this time is to lobby these three tribes that have not made any statement so far, and to mobilize the patriarchs of these three tribes, so that these three tribes will obediently choose to surrender, further reduce the combat power of the mountain barbarians, and reduce the pressure of Deng Jiaer to send troops to attack the mountain later.
The first stop of the lobbying mission, which is Vivian's first goal, is the Qike Department.
The head of the Qike tribe received news that the Britannians had come to their tribe early, so he was ready to welcome Vivian and others early.
Vivian did not come alone with Samuel.
There were 24 elite soldiers coming with them.
The 24 elite soldiers were also responsible for protecting Vivien, just like Samuel.
No one can guarantee that Vivian's lobbying mission will be completed successfully and smoothly. Vivian is Deng Jiaer's sister after all. In terms of emotion and reason, Su Cheng will not put Vivian in an overly dangerous situation.
In order to ensure Vivian's safety and reduce the risk of negotiations as much as possible, Su Cheng transferred his command the strongest in-person combat capabilities and the most idle general Samuel was transferred to serve as the guard of Vivian's trip.
In addition to transferring Samuel over, Su Cheng also selected 24 elite soldiers from the fortress as Vivian's escort.
Therefore, the total number of envoys who lobbyed the mountain barbarians this time, including Vivian, had a total of 26 people.
After arriving at the door of Qike's department, Vivian met the tribe members of Qike's department standing outside the door to greet them.
When the leader saw Vivian, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said in the extremely bad Britannian language:
"Hello, Envoy, I am Luda, the leader of the Qike tribe."
As soon as Luda's greeting fell, Vivian's mouth curled up slightly, showing a decent, gentle smile, and said in a very fluent, standard Lake language:
"Fortunately, the Xiaguan was Vivian O'Brien, the envoy of the Britannian Empire. The Xiaguan was a little confident in his Lake language, so he didn't need to talk to me in Britannian language. He just needed to use Lake language, which would be more convenient."
Seeing that Vivian could speak Lake, whether it was Ruda, the leader of the Qike tribe, or Samuel, who was standing behind Vivian, they all showed surprise and looked surprised.
"I didn't expect that you would actually understand the language of our Lake people..." Luda looked at the petite girl standing in front of him in surprise, "Ah, sorry, I'm just talking. Envoy, please come in quickly, welcome to our Qike Department!"
After saying that, Luda turned slightly and then made a "please" action towards Vivian and others.
After Vivian smiled and nodded in response, he walked into Qike's ministry.
In addition to Vivian, all the other 25 people were tall and big, with long swords hanging on their waists, majestic.
When they walked into the Qike Ministry, they attracted the attention of many people in the tribe.
The soldiers in the Chico team looked at the long swords on the waists of the 25 guards led by Samuel, as well as their tall and strong figures (Samuel's figure is slightly worse than the other 24 guards behind him, and Samuel's figure is longer), and they couldn't help but swallowed to relieve the tension and a little fear in their hearts.
After entering the Zico department, Samuel couldn't help frowning and held his breath.
Not only Samuel, but the other 24 guards behind him were all like Samuel. After entering the Qike division and smelling the smell in the Qike division, they couldn't help frowning and held their breath, just like Samuel.
Because Qike's department is so smelly.
Just now, Samuel and others had already smelled the stench when they were standing outside the door of the Qike department.
This is the smell of stool.
The ground of Qike's ministry was full of feces.
Dog's stool, chicken's stool, cow's stool, human's stool...
Because there was too much feces on the ground, Samuel and others had to look at the ground all the time, so as not to step on something unclean later.
Although I had long heard that the mountain barbarians were all a group of barbarians who were still in the tribal period and lived a primitive life, Samuel did not expect that the mountain barbarian life would be barbaric, so primitive.
Although the cities before the Britannian Empire were also so stinky, people in the past liked to dump excrement everywhere, especially liked to pour excrement in alleys.
So you can always see piles of feces as high as mountains in the alley.
But these are all things that happened hundreds of years ago.
After productivity gained and people began to awaken their sanitation awareness, and the imperial government began to strictly control these unsanitary behaviors of dumping feces at will, the sanitation situation in various cities of the imperial city immediately began to improve rapidly and improve.
Nowadays, it is difficult for you to smell any bad smell in any city in the Britannian Empire, and you will no longer see any feces in the alleys.
Every city has a fixed concentration of excrement.
After people concentrate their excrement here, the government will have special people to deal with the excrement.
The treatment of these excrements is usually made into agricultural fertilizers or directly pulled out of the city and filled in places away from the water source.
Not only that, public toilets were also built in various cities of the empire, so that pedestrians on the road could have convenient places, and no longer had to find some unmanned corners to solve the problem like they did hundreds of years ago.
The current rural sanitation situation in the Britannian Empire is also constantly improving under the promotion of the imperial government.
Samuel, who has become accustomed to a civilized and hygienic life, is hard to imagine that there are still people living such a life of throwing spoils everywhere.
Samuel, who was almost breathless by the smell of the Qike team, had his eyes sore sore, had a little more contempt for the mountain man.
At the same time, I admire Vivian even more.
Because Samuel noticed that after entering the Zico department and smelling the pungent stench, Vivian's face and expression did not change at all.
There was still a faint smile on his face.
Samuel couldn't help but throw shocked Vivian in front of him, looking admiringly, and at the same time he said in his heart:
Chapter completed!
