Chapter Twelve: What the Battle Mother Wants, You Must Get It
Freljord has new gods and old sects, old sects and old gods, the three sisters and shamanic teachings. A large number of complex beliefs have given rise to a large number of unique tribes and diverse cultures, but they have also brought many troubles to the rule.
"Those girls with big braids warmly welcomed the handsome E Zerrell..."

Sejuani was riding on Steel Mane's back, and she tightened and loosened her grip on the Ice Flail, but in the end she still didn't hit Aslan.
Not only because of Aslan's strength, but more importantly, she also felt a little threatened by Tonya.
She is just reckless, not stupid. Some problems are just not straightened out in her mind. What's more, in Freljord, there are not too many people who can make her feel threatened, but everyone's identity
Not simple at all.
Soon, the sharpness and anger in her eyes disappeared, replaced by another look.
Seeing the anger in Sejuani's eyes disappear, Udyr, who was always ready to save Aslan, breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Sejuani, and then at Aslan, "I think we all need a proper negotiation.
time."
"I think so." Aslan also looked at Udyr, "If I can gain the friendship of the Winter's Claw War Mother, it would also be an honor for me."
Hearing this, Sejuani curled her lips and glanced at Tonya.
This woman has a nasty big braid of snowy hair, a pair of nasty big breasts, and a nasty slender waist that is not fertile at all. Her hateful looking face is irritating, and Freljord is so cold.
God, she leaked so much and she wasn’t afraid of getting cold?!
However, Udyr's words did impress her. She looked at Aslan and wanted to know what advice this man would give her.
If the suggestion was unreasonable, she would find an opportunity to teach the person a lesson and then seize the person as her own trophy in the tent.
Yes, it must be buckled down.
Aslan rode on the Crazy Claw beast and walked side by side with Sejuani, but he was slightly behind by half a body. His action made Sejuani a little more satisfied with him.
"What suggestions do you have?" Sejuani thought for a moment and asked directly without any detours.
Aslan looked at Sejuani and said seriously: "For the entire Freljord, the Winter's Claw is just a tribe, not a nation. You can only represent yourself, but not the Freljord."
."
While he was speaking, Tonya was also listening attentively. In the distant Frost Fortress, Lissandra began to sense Tonya's state and was also listening.
"A group of people with the same traditions and purposes gather together, speak the same language, and do the same things. This is not called a nation; it can only be a tribe, a clan, or a group of people who gather together by chance.
A team has no cohesion and no faith. Once something irreversible happens, the group will fall apart."
"If there is no suitable outline, suitable rules and principles, even if you build a city-state with the people of Winter's Claw, it will be just a city-state. Maybe once the structure is completed, it will be you who will lead the tribe to attack you.
To the soldiers, there seems to be no difference."
"Now, you need legitimacy, a basis for rule, a proper decree to manage the upper and lower frameworks, and an absolute executive body. I don't need to say more about the environment of Freljord. Who do the warriors fight for? It's not a battle?"
To put it bluntly, you are just leading a group of 'rabble'. Once faced with a crisis of destruction, such as famine and severe cold, your tribe will become fragmented."
Aslan knows this, and the plight of Winter's Claw is made very clear in the official novel "Silence of the Damned".
"If you want to rule the Freljord, you must first realize the unity of Winter's Claw."
"What do you mean?" Sejuani looked at Aslan. She originally wanted to grab Aslan, who was being held by Tonya's waist, and put him in front of her, but she felt a little awkward and couldn't bear it, so she chose to ask her question.
Confuse.
The surrounding Winter's Claw warriors and Udyr were not aware of Aslan's remarks, but they all raised their ears and stopped.
"First of all, you need to let the Winter's Claws have a common culture. You must let the people of the tribe under your command form a consensus. This common consciousness should arouse the resonance of all races in Freljord.
, can awaken the most authentic emotions and needs deep in the hearts of people struggling in a cruel environment. This consensus may be a custom, a tradition, a cultural thought, and the needs of a type of civilization."
"The Avarosa tribe did better than you. Ashe brought warmth and food to her people, so she gained more and more support from the tribe, but what she did was obviously not enough and not thorough.
."
After hearing about Ashe, or hearing about Ashe's shortcomings, Sejuani's eyes changed. She felt that she finally had a chance to surpass her sisters.
"Can you be more specific?" Sejuani's eyes were bright. She stroked the mane of Steel Mane and listened intently to Aslan's story, feeling that the scene in her heart gradually became grander.
"If we want to have a consensus, we can be specific to a unified shopping currency and measurement, the same words and the same habits. Of course, it can also be specific to a common belief, which should be full of all bloodlines and customs regardless of race.
A greater faith."
"You should let the people under your command, whether they are warriors or shamans, whether they are young or old, let them naturally feel that it is a sense of pride to be a member of the Winter Claws. This sense of pride is
The consensus that Winter's Claw should have; to form a spirit, even if the tribe falls apart, as long as you raise your arms and shout one day, countless warriors will respond to your spirit."
Sejuani was thoughtful. She understood a little bit and felt some connections, but it was not clear.
"Just like the Freljord's shamans and beast spirits, these two beliefs can be compatible, but the ancient way and the Protestant religion are not. There are too many beliefs in the Freljord, and these beliefs and different customs are also
It creates the difference between advocating chaos and observing order. Of course, every Freljordian has the freedom of belief, which is a prerequisite that you cannot change."
Udyr nodded. There are too many beliefs in Freljord. The old gods, new gods, three sisters, ancient paths, animal spirits, etc. These different beliefs gave birth to different tribes, leading to diverse tribes.
culture, but also caused chaos in governance.
"So, let's find a way from another aspect." Aslan looked at Sejuani, as if Ashe was building a city. Although the Avarosans had a common gathering point, she obviously didn't do enough to maintain order.
Still chaotic.”
"Then what should I do?" Sejuani asked, unable to wait any longer.
"Let everyone participate in building your own city, formulate reasonable regulations that everyone needs to abide by, integrate a unified text and social structure that is suitable for governance, and forge a common standard currency among your tribes. Among all the tribes of Winter's Claws,
Implement unified weights and measures so that everyone understands a standard. If you continue to implement this and the influence continues subtly, you will find that habits can become a terrible force."
"Didn't you just say that you still need to respect everyone's freedom of belief?" Sejuani found Aslan's language problem.
"Beliefs are different from social laws. What's more, people who are contrary to your tribal rule and are not loyal to you cannot be retained no matter what. Why not seize these people who are loyal to you first?"
"In general, it is to establish a lofty goal that everyone should strive for, abolish customs that are unreasonable to the public, and at the same time write the same text and drive the same track, unify weights and measures, and establish exclusive authority that belongs exclusively to you."
"Before this, do we still need to solve the problem of survival?" Tonya said behind Aslan.
Her words attracted the attention of all the furnace households. This chapter has been completed!
