Chapter 844 [0831] Continue Eastward

Lux was a little stunned by the request of the Floating Snow Tribe to join Demacia.

Hmm?

I didn't arrange this wave of agents, did I?

Why did someone come out and say that he wanted to join Demacia?

However, after quietly understanding the experience of the Floating Snow Tribe, Lux quickly understood the reason why they did this - the Floating Snow Tribe had just lost its war mother in an ice troll attack. This situation was a matter of life and death for a tribe.

In order to survive, the Floating Snow Tribe had no better way.

Lux was overjoyed to realize this.

Nothing is more suitable as a footnote to this alliance than the joining of a tribe.

Although Lux also arranged a few agents, her arrangement was one thing, and someone's spontaneous choice was another. In comparison, the latter was definitely more surprising.

Therefore, the Snow Tribe immediately received Lux's promise - considering that they used to live in the mountains and among the mountains, Demacia will set aside an area in the Dragon Spine Mountains in the future to accommodate the Snow Tribe and restore their accustomed living environment as much as possible.

Ovoli was overjoyed to receive this promise.

Generally speaking, joining other tribes usually means abandoning everything old and becoming part of the new tribe. In the case of different customs between the old and new tribes, this often means a complete change.

From a macro perspective, this change can also be regarded as a natural survival of the fittest under the ice and snow of Freljord, but from the perspective of the tribe itself, most people are unwilling to change their existing living habits.

Although Ovoli was mentally prepared when he took the initiative to propose to become a part of Demacia, when he learned that the Ovoli tribe would have an exclusive economic zone in the Dragon Spine Mountains and could continue the mountain life they were accustomed to, his eyes still flashed with a gleam of longing.

Ovoli was not the best hunter in this meeting.

But at this moment, when he got Lacus's promise, he was willing to draw his hunting bow for any enemy for Her Majesty Laxana!

After cutting his palm, Ovoli stretched out his hand and shook it with Lacus. The blood of both sides mixed together, and the oath was established. After Lacus raised his right hand high and showed it to everyone, the representative of the next tribe soon stepped onto the oath platform.

Lacus still had many oaths to make, and even the climbers would fall into a short-term anemia state after this large-scale oath.

After finishing the oath and walking down the oath platform, Ovoli was still a little dizzy-until a clerk found him and began to discuss the relevant matters of relocating the Floating Snow Tribe, he finally came to his senses.

"No problem." When the clerk asked whether the Snow Tribe could go to the sea along the Valar Valley and take the sea to New Port, Ovoli nodded without hesitation, "We have prepared everything!"

……………………

Overall, the Neuskara Alliance was very successful.

Including the Snow Tribe, four small tribes chose to submit. These tribes were either in a difficult situation or close to Demacia, so it was natural for them to choose to submit.

Among the other tribes, only one tribe accepted the second-tier conditions - this tribe called the Polar Storm has always been close to Demacia, but because their tribal territory is close to the Great Glacier and there is no threat at present, they did not choose to submit in the end, but chose the second-tier conditions and became a limited enclave autonomous territory of Demacia.

Lux naturally welcomed the choice of Polar Storm. The Dominion is also an important part of expanding Demacia's influence. The Northern Legion will be stationed in Polar Storm's base, and a relatively large market will be established there to serve as Demacia's northernmost fulcrum in Freljord.

However, considering that Polar Storm's living area is close to the poles, the impact of this part may be very limited.

In addition to the above tribes, most tribes have accepted the first-tier subsidy plan. After all, this is a business that is sure to make money no matter how you look at it. Importing a certain product from Demacia at a cheap price is extremely important for any tribe.

If the alliance is not still going on, I am afraid that many representatives have been thinking about how to convince everyone to put this year's subsidized products on the areas that their tribes need most.

Although the meeting seemed to go very smoothly, once the scope of subsidies was discussed, I was afraid that the Freljord people would soon engage in a full-scale fight - Lux had already known this in her mind. For her, it was normal for the Freljord people to fight each other in this regard, and it was a good progress that they could sit down and talk.

Compared with persuading with words, these Freljord people are undoubtedly better at physical persuasion.

And things happened just as Lux expected - when the meeting ended and the next day they started to discuss the content of this year's subsidies, the meeting platform that was still orderly yesterday suddenly turned into a messy vegetable market.

The representatives of all tribes began to shout out the names of materials their tribes needed. Some shouted oats, some shouted tea, some shouted cloth, and some people who knew more about Demacia shouted Enuk cattle.

In this regard, different tribes always have different needs.

If the people present were not representatives of the Freljord tribe, but Demacia nobles, they would definitely take advantage of the short gap after the meeting last night to start private connections. One night was enough for them to clearly divide a series of political alliances and reach some tacit understandings that could not be announced to the public.

But the Freljord people have never done this.

For them, if they want any subsidies, the best way is to shout at the top of their voices, let their voices drown out all the different voices, and give a fist to those who shout the most for other subsidies.

Although this "reasoning" approach may cause a lot of confusion and turn the meeting into a fight, its efficiency is quite impressive. When more than one-third of the envoys present were bruised, all the Freljord tribes were divided into three camps.

One camp hopes to get cheap food subsidies. The tribes that hold this view either have a newly expanded population or domesticate a large number of livestock. They hope to survive the explosion of new population and new livestock by importing food.

The second camp hopes to get subsidies for handicrafts such as cloth. They either want textiles and pigments from Demacia or metal tools made by Demacia that can cope with the Freljord winter. Although Freljord also has its own handicraft industry, it cannot be compared with Demacia's products in terms of price or performance.

At present, the only one in the entire Freljord who can surpass Demacia in this aspect is probably Ornn himself.

Considering that many handicraft products are important production tools themselves, this part of the tribe obviously also has a certain degree of independence.

Speaking of independence, the third camp is the most independent-minded - this part of the tribe hopes to get better varieties of crops and livestock from Demacia.

In their view, better varieties of crops and livestock are the most valuable things. Compared with them, food and handicrafts that can make the tribe live a comfortable life in a short period of time can only be regarded as the choice of short-sighted people.

In the process of tearing each other apart, some people even accidentally said "Can you always rely on Demacia?"

However, even so, Lux, who presided over the meeting, still looked at them with a smile, and didn't seem to mind at all.

But unfortunately, whether Lux himself minded or not, it seemed that they would not be able to reach a unified conclusion in a short time. In this case, Lux simply handed this task to the accompanying clerk, and he set off decisively on the third day after the alliance and entered the west gate of Newskara.

Here, she met the warband leader of the Avarosa tribe who was in charge of the Western Warband, and confirmed her subsequent itinerary plan - because the Neuskara meeting delayed her a little, she had to speed up to catch up with the ceremony of the Rakstak meeting.

Fortunately, she was well prepared for this, and the road to Rakstak City after passing the Neuskara Pass was almost flat, so Lux didn't need to worry about being late.

Compared with not being able to catch up with the next meeting, Lux was more concerned about the problem of Malphite's network.

"I need a little help to help those big ice and snow puppets cross this pass."

"This is not an easy task."

"In fact, this is actually very easy. As long as your army does not intercept them when they cross the pass, it will be fine."

"???"

The confused warband leader obviously knew nothing about the transformation ability of Malphites. When she saw these big guys with magical gestures, they quickly stepped on the temporary ice platform and crossed the pass, she was so surprised that she could even stuff a duck egg into her mouth.

To be honest, this guy is already well-informed in the Avarosa tribe. Before becoming the warband leader, she was an ice traveler and had seen the frost guard priests cast spells and saw them make frost puppets.

But compared to the puppets made of ice and snow by the frost guard priests, the puppets driven by these Demacians are undoubtedly more sophisticated and reliable, and it seems that there is no limit to the duration.

This undoubtedly made her very interested.

Unfortunately, since she was not a spellcaster, she could not figure out the details of these puppets, let alone replicate these big guys that looked very useful - or, it was precisely because she did not understand magic at all that she compared Malphite with those temporary ice and snow puppets.

Finally, after building an ice platform and crossing the two passes of Neuskara under the gaze of the Avarosa warriors, Lux and his party finally entered the Rakstak Plain, the central area and core area of ​​the Freljord continent.

When the party followed the main road, turned around the foot of a mountain, and officially entered the plain area, even though they had heard the merchants describe the situation here, they still couldn't help but widen their eyes.

If this kind of surprise must be described in words, it should probably be "Is this Freljord?"

Well, well, it doesn't seem quite accurate to say that.

It should be... Is this the Freljord?

In this season when the ice and snow in Fosbyro have just melted, and even in most cities in the northern part of Demacia, the snow in the Rakstak Plain has melted visibly.

Unlike the Freljord frozen land in the general impression, this plain called Rakstak is melting at a speed visible to the naked eye when spring arrives and the breath of Anivia dissipates, just like spring is coming!

When the accompanying warriors saw the streams flowing under the half-melted ice cap on the roadside, they almost couldn't believe their eyes-is this really the Freljord?

Shouldn't the Freljord be a frozen land?

Why does the climate here look even milder than the North?

In fact, if we talk about climate, the Rakstak Plains does not quite fit people's impression of the Freljord - but if there is a map, it is understandable that the Rakstak Plains can have such a climate.

Unlike the West Freljord subcontinent that faces the Breath of Anivia, the Rakstak Plains is a region surrounded by mountains.

The Dragon Spine Mountains and the Ice Claw Mountains, which previously merged in the west to form the Neuskara Pass, separated from north to south after heading east, stretching all the way along the east-west direction, and the Rakstak Plains is the middle area between these two mountains.

With the existence of the Ice Claw Mountains and the Dragon Spine Mountains, the cold Breath of Anivia will not blow directly into the heart of the Rakstak Plains even in the winter, and in spring, this area will usher in warming earlier than the North.

The Ice Claw Mountains and Dragon Spine Mountains contribute a lot of snowmelt every year, forming a large number of seasonal streams on the edge of the Laxtak Plain. After these streams converge together, they will eventually become several seasonal rivers and flow into several continuous lakes in the center of the Laxtak Plain.

And the famous Laxtak City is surrounded and surrounded by these lakes - in winter, the lake surface around Laxtak City is frozen, and after the arrival of spring, the ice surface will gradually melt and eventually turn into tourmaline-like lake water.

In the harsh living conditions of Freljord, Laxtak is a paradise isolated from the world.

There seems to be some cold source at the bottom of the Laxtak Lake. After the arrival of winter, their cooling speed is very amazing.
