The political structure of the Midsummer Islands is a little strange. Although the islands are large and the population is not sparse, they have not formed a nation or country. Instead, they are in a state of "separation of powers".
Valano Island, Obenlu Island and Zale Island are all populated by tribes with primitive forms of civilization. They do not agree with each other, but instead fight against each other, and have unforgettable hatred.
This ethnic form is somewhat similar to the Dothraki, but the Dothraki have been unified several times in history, including now being forcefully unified by the emergence of Mengo Khal, with one hundred thousand people.
Although the Dothraki Iron Hoof failed on the way eastward, it should not be underestimated.
There has never been any unification among the tribes of the Midsummer Islands. Among them, the largest tribe on the islands is on Valano Island. They have a large population and the strongest overall strength, and they also control the largest town on the island.
This place is called Lianhua Port, and it is nominally the capital of the Midsummer Islands, which is well known to outsiders. But in fact, the locals here do not regard Lianhua Port as their capital. They only choose to come here when tribes exchange materials and trade.
It is carried out in Lianhua Port, where conflicts between rival tribes are prohibited.
There are two other towns on Valano Island, lastly Elegy Town and Gaoshu Town. Valano Island is the most populous main island in the entire Summer Islands, followed by Zale Island and Obenlu Island.
The fleet led by Asha Greyjoy docked at Zale Island. There are also two major indigenous tribes on Zale Island, one is the Red Flower Valley Tribe and the other is the Sweet Lotus Valley Tribe.
There are many scattered small tribes under them, but their strength is so weak that they are not worth mentioning. These small tribes must rely on the big tribes to survive.
Because these two tribes respectively occupy the two largest Vale resources on the island, located at the east and west ends of Zale Island, the Red Flower Valley tribe is located in the east of the island, and the Sweet Lotus Valley tribe is located in the west of the island.
And Asha Greyjoy and her fleet came to the territory of the Red Flower Valley tribe.
The skin of these aboriginal people is dark and shiny, they are mumbling in unintelligible local language, and they are also wearing bright-colored feather cloaks.
Among them, the higher the identity and status in the tribe, the brighter the feather cloaks on them, while the soldiers with lower status are even naked, with just a feather on their head and a spear or spear in their hand.
It's carrying a bow and arrow.
However, although they were a little nervous when they saw the foreign fleets and soldiers, they were not too panicked, because the Midsummer Islands is not a completely closed island country. Many of the tribes trade with the outside world, and occasionally there will be fleets from there.
go through.
At the same time, pirates often visit here, but they have never seen large-tonnage ships like the Imperial Fleet with neat military appearance and majestic soldiers.
The natives of the Red Flower Valley tribe formed a loose formation with spears in hand, baring their teeth and claws, making a lot of noise, trying to make themselves look not to be trifled with, but their eyes were nervously looking at the fleet docked on the coast.
And the soldiers on the fleet.
And Asha Greyjoy was standing on the bow of the ship wearing fine women's soft armor and a black cloak, with a long sword hanging from her waist.
"Let's get off the boat."
The sea breeze blew the hair on her forehead. She looked at the indigenous tribes in formation below, then took a deep breath, turned to look at the soldiers around her, and then led several fleet soldiers away from the ship.
Come down.
On the other side, someone from the fleet was seen walking down, and there was some confusion in the formation of the Red Flower Valley tribe.
Then a tribal chief with gray hair, leaning on a cane, and wearing a gorgeous bright feather cloak also came over with an interpreter.
He came to Asha Greyjoy, first put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly and saluted, and mumbled something incomprehensible.
The dark-skinned young translator next to the old chief looked a little nervous. After the old man finished speaking, the translator hurriedly asked Asha Gray in broken Valyrian and a very respectful title.
Joy, and the army she brought with her.
High Valyrian is the most popular lingua franca in the Summer Sea and the surrounding areas, because it was once a small country, city-state, and tribe within the influence of the Free Fortress, and everyone was influenced by Valyria.
.
It's just that the Dragon Kings of Valyria didn't take a fancy to this land, so they didn't conquer it forcefully and transform it, so today the Summer Islands still maintain their original appearance.
After such a long period of traveling as an envoy, Asha has also mastered part of the Valyrian language that can be communicated normally. As soon as the two communicated, the misunderstanding was resolved, and soon the tribal chief's face became nervous.
The emotion disappeared.
But there was still some confusion in his eyes, because he did not expect that the other party would claim to be the fleet of the Valyrian Empire.
“The bastion of freedom was actually re-established in the West?”
Although the Fort Liberty did not occupy this land, it still had a profound impact on the indigenous people on the island.
After all, they have such a powerful neighbor beside them, and that huge empire is like a mountain that makes the indigenous chiefs of the Summer Islands breathless.
However, in the end, the Free Fortress suddenly collapsed overnight, as if it was the wrath of the gods. The tsunami caused by that night also hit the Midsummer Islands, causing tragic casualties and leaving a deep memory for this group of indigenous people.
The mountains pressing on their heads also disappeared.
After all, after the collapse of Valyria, there were no powerful 'neighbors' around the Summer Islands, and no one would spend such a high price to travel so far to invade them.
However, I did not expect that after hundreds of years, another fleet calling itself the Valyrian Empire would arrive at the Summer Islands.
Then the chief of the Red Flower Valley tribe continued to chatter for a long time, and the translator repeated his words.
It's not that this tribal chief has never heard of the names of Westeros and the Iron Throne. He has heard this name from the sailors passing by.
But Westeros is too far away for them. To the people of the Summer Islands, Westeros is an island slightly larger than the Summer Islands, perhaps as big as the Valyrian Peninsula.
After all, Valyria is already the end of the world for them, and the local natives may not be able to run very far in their lifetime.
The old chief of the Red Flower Valley tribe mentioned a name to Asha, Jalaba Thor.
