Without waiting for Vivian to give any answer, the patriarch of the Lago tribe, Cial, continued:
"Let the two tribes unite, eliminate war, let us Lake people become civilized and live a better life? Sorry, we don't want to be assimilated by you Britannians."
“We Lake people have our own cultural customs.”
"We have our unique sacrificial culture. When we start sowing this year, we will hold sowing festivals and when we harvest grains, we will hold food festivals. Similar sacrificial activities are extremely popular."
"We have our unique thorny culture, and we are not the same as you Britannians in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"We will not abandon any of these cultural customs, but learn from you Britannians!"
As soon as Cial finished speaking, Vivian smiled slightly: "Your Matriarch, the clan leader misunderstood. What I just mentioned is not to let the Lakes learn from me, the Britannians."
"We are not going to turn the Lakers into Britannians, but to let the Lakers and Britannians learn from each other and finally merge into one, regardless of you and me!"
"Learn from each other?" There was a bit of surprise in Cial's tone.
"We Britannian Empire never suppressed those etiquette customs that were in line with the times." Vivian said jokingly, "Etiquette customs, as long as they are in line with the times and are not the bad habit of cannibalism to sacrifice."
"Xiaguan's hometown is located in the Duke of North Munster in the north of the empire. This place was once the territory of the Lexi people."
"Therefore, Xiaguan's ancestors were the Lexis, and now Xiaguan has become the Britannians."
"Although the Lehies have merged with other ethnic groups into the Britannians, the Lehies' cultural customs have been well passed down."
"The cultural customs of the Lehies are still passed down in the Duke of North Munster and have not died because of the integration of the Britannians with other nations."
"It is not only us Lexis, but the rest of the nations are also like this. The cultural customs of each nation are still circulating on their respective lands, without decline or demise."
"We have never intended to forcefully reverse the etiquette and customs of the Lake people. Except for such bloody and vulgar habits, the other excellent etiquette and customs that are in line with the times can be preserved."
Vivian's calm words echoed in this not-so-large house.
Cial, the wizard, and the elders in their tribe remained silent after hearing Vivian's words.
Vivian and Samuel were also silent, waiting for Cial and others to speak.
It took a long time before Cialta's somewhat tired voice finally broke the silence in the house.
"Empress, let's come here for today's meeting. Let me take a break and think about it..."
...
...
"Miss Vivian, are all what you said just now true? After conquering these gangs of mountain martyrs, do you really have to keep their etiquette and customs?"
After following the guides and entering their temporary residence and confirming that there was no one else around, Samuel couldn't help but whisper to Vivien in Britannian.
When they were just taken to their residence, Vivian summarized in simple words what she had said about her conversation with Cial and others just now.
"Well, it's true." Vivian nodded, "I talked to Mr. Su about this issue when I took over this lobbying mission from Mr. Su."
"Before the Sharomanda battle officially began, Mr. Su had a detailed conversation with the people in the central government, what methods should be used to govern the Lake people after successfully conquering the Lake people."
"The Central Committee originally planned to use the Lakes to practice how to completely conquer a nation."
"So the central government has already prepared a plan to manage the Lake people."
"The central government intends to adopt a moderate approach to the Lake people."
"As I said just now, I kept all the customs of the Lakes that were in line with the times, and relieved their resistance to beings by us Britannians."
"After retaining all their etiquette and customs that are in line with the times, we will slowly teach them the Britannian language and spread the culture of our Britannian Empire subtly into it."
"While it may take a long time to manage these Lakers in this gentle way, I think this method is the most affordable and feasible."
"After all, violence can conquer the body of a nation, but it can never conquer the heart of a nation."
Speaking of this, Vivi settled down.
Then he smiled bitterly:
"If the leader of the Cial and the others had learned that the real reason for our use of troops against them was not to unite the two tribes, and to eliminate the war between the Lakes and the Britannians and the Lakes forever, what would they have looked like."
What Vivian said in the meeting with Cial and others just now is actually half true and half false.
In that regard, they were indeed the Britannians who had conquered the Brah Mountains, and they would indeed retain all their cultural customs that were in line with the times.
The false aspect is that they did not start a war for such noble reasons as "to unite the two tribes."
Instead, in order to make the Lake people the object of practice, we will practice how to completely conquer a nation from the body to the heart...
As for "making the two tribes united", it is all about shaking the will of Cial and others, and Vivian Hu's words were compiled.
If Cial and the others knew what the real reason for the Britannians to start the war, Vivian dared to be sure that Cial and others would most likely lose their minds in anger and then cut them all to vent their anger.
...
...
While Vivian and Samuel were resting in their temporary residence, chatting, in the house of Cial—
Cial, the wizard and the elders of the tribe who had just held a meeting with Vivian, remained in Cial's house and were having secret negotiations.
"...The envoys of the Britannians said nothing," Cial, who was sitting in the main seat, sighed, "I have been to the Fortress of Avalon and have seen how developed the civilization of the Britannians are."
"Technology such as medical care, cultivation, grazing, etc. surpasses us for many years."
"There are also complete drainage facilities, sanitation facilities, and the comfort of people's lives have surpassed us for many years."
"If we are united with the Britannians, it will not be a bad thing for us Lakers..."
"As the Britannian envoy just said, after we are united with the Britannians, we will be able to be civilized and live a better, more comfortable and more stable life than we are now..."
As soon as Cial finished speaking, the wizard sitting next to Cial said anxiously:
Chapter completed!
