After receiving the news, Uliyan rushed back to the big house and started negotiations with Magna. If a settlement wants to grow and develop, it can only rely on absorbing outside population, in addition to reproducing offspring. However, it is not so easy to attract foreign population. Unsystematic expansion will only bring risks to the originally stable settlement. Ulian did not like the refugees from Isenbol. These people thought they had seen and seen everything, and they were young and strong and full of passion. Not everyone wanted to be a stable farmer, and many of them had ulterior motives. There were only a hundred or so people in the logging camp on the other side of the river, and within a short period of time, several small circles were formed. The refugees with a little ambition and means had no intention of building their homes, but only wanted to build their own little hills and fight for the right to speak in the camp. Unfortunately, the lords of the river bend are not easy to deal with. In the eyes of the imperial soldier Uliyang, these refugee leaders are just little roosters in the chicken coop who have nowhere to vent their energy. They can only amuse themselves by bullying the weak, and their fights are not even considered small fights. Those who are really brave have already infiltrated the local gangs. He would find any excuse to give them a severe lesson, assign them some menial labor, or hang them up and beat them, and easily weaken their authority. If you really encounter a tough guy, transfer him from his position, break up the circle, or simply expel him. It is so easy to manage refugees using military management methods!
Although Wu Laodeng couldn't stand his lazy future son-in-law and often beat and scolded Leo, he sometimes agreed with some of Leo's words. For example: give rules to those who follow the rules, and give barbarity to those who love barbarity! In comparison, the wild people are more simple and honest. They know that survival is not easy and they only seek stability and do not ask for much. After an hour of discussion, Uliyang was willing to set aside a piece of land opposite the river bend peninsula and provide fifty young and strong villagers with construction experience and a series of construction tools to help the Langya tribe build their own village. The animal skins, herbs, minerals, and rare materials brought by the Wolf Fang Tribe would be sold through the river bend in exchange for food to feed the tribe. All members of the Langya tribe became subjects of the River Bay, obeyed the decrees issued by the lord, and paid reasonable taxes in exchange for arable land and designated hunting grounds. In return, the Wolf Fang Tribe will provide fifty wild archers, provide their own weapons and equipment, join the militia, and unconditionally participate in all battles in the river bend. If irreconcilable conflicts arise between the two sides, the Langya Tribe has the right to leave the river bend and go away on its own. After the discussion, Ulyaan and Magna held each other's arms and pulled hard. Wu Liyang said: "Then it is settled. Hewan will do its best to help you migrate and settle down in Hewan successfully. I hope your bows and our swords can protect our homeland together! Instead of confronting each other!" "As you wish, new leader!" Magnar hesitated for a moment before replying heavily. For the wild people, "Lord", "Knight" and "Sir" are all hostile titles. Calling them "Chief" is a sign of submission. The conditions offered by Hewan were very favorable, far exceeding Magna's expectations. For the future of his people, the proud and brave Magna Hunter is willing to lead his people to submit to Uriyan. Uliyan provided Magna and several other wild hunters from the Wolf Fang tribe with food for the return journey, and also gave them a bag of fine steel arrows as a gift. Fifty steel arrows soaked in grease made Magna's breathing heavier. These are good things that are definitely not found in the wilderness. They come from the large workshop in the south and are military products that Ulian got from Rigolav's warehouse. Ever since Ulian used coaxing and deceiving Roman to take away Rigolav's two top-quality riding horses, Rigolav strictly forbade Ulian to approach his family's animal pen. But the wealth of the Knights of the Banner was so rich that Ulian decided to protect part of it for them, so he set his sights on Rigolav's armory.
The iron arrowheads forged by the wild folk are either soft and easily deformed, or fragile and brittle, and some are even not as useful as processed bone arrowheads. In the quivers of the wild people, there are arrows for hunting bears and arrows for hunting rabbits. Is it because of professionalism? No, it’s poverty! It’s backwardness! Although the wild folk's yew longbow is extremely powerful, it also requires enough high-quality arrows to match it. Arrows of too poor quality not only affect the accuracy of shooting, but also break and deform prematurely after hitting the prey, which will greatly reduce the power of the arrow. The batch of fine steel arrowheads donated by Uliyang are sharp, strong, and have the ability to penetrate armor. Even if they hit the hard bones of the prey, they will not be easily deformed and can be reused. In the wilderness, this is hard currency more valuable than gold and silver. If all the hunters of the Wolf Fang Tribe were equipped with such fine steel arrows, Magnar would not even be in a hurry to migrate, and he would have the confidence to hold on for a while. Perhaps if we can hold on a little longer, we can get through this wave of turmoil and keep our homes. After seeing Bjorn and Magnar off, Uliyan couldn't wait to start counting supplies with Olivia, discussing purchases, and making preparations in advance. The joining of the Langya Tribe is an unexpected surprise, but also a necessity. Once turmoil occurs in the wilderness, the weak can only choose to stick together in order to survive. The wild people have few allies to choose from. A few wild people occupy an area with absolute dominance, and several tribes can unite to defend their homes. Small tribes like Great Falls and Wolf Fang are surrounded by alien races and can only seek help from the outside world. It can be imagined that at this time, to the north of the Wolf-Driving Plain, countless wild tribes who had the same experience as the Wolf Fang Tribe were either hiding deeper in the foothills of the magnificent barrier mountain, praying not to be discovered by foreign races, or leaving the Wolf-Driving Plain and being exposed to the empire's vision. Leo also instructed Bjorn to arrange more manpower, pay close attention to the movements in Wolf Driving Plain, strengthen communication between the two villages, and face the crisis together. A few days later, Leo received the news from Bjorn, and immediately led the militia, carrying the prepared supplies, fifteen horses and fifteen donkeys, and headed towards the Gravel Hills to meet the migrating team of the Wolf Fang Tribe. Leo was riding on his horse, with a long line of cargo vehicles behind him, like a small caravan. Whistles and howls were heard from time to time in the woods on both sides of the team. They were the scouts from the wild hunters of the Great Falls tribe, delivering reassuring messages. The first half of the militia, armed with axes and shovels, acted as pioneers, cutting down trees and shrubs that were in the way and leveling the small steep slope. It is impossible to repair the road as the conditions are not there, but if the road conditions are slightly improved, the return journey will be much easier. The backs of horses and donkeys were loaded with supplies, mainly pre-baked wheat cakes, bread, and various bacon. The attentive Olivia also prepared three large iron pots with iron racks to make it convenient for the militia to cook. The two teams met victoriously on the north side of the Gravel Hills. The appearance of the militia group brought joy to the exhausted migrating team.
