Chapter 578: "Lobbying" The Mountain Barbarians (IV)

Of the 32 mountain barbarian tribes, after learning that the Britannia declared war on them, 27 have chosen to surrender obediently, and 2 have chosen to resist. They have not expressed their stance yet, and have not said whether they want to surrender or not. There were three who resisted.

The two tribes chosen to resist were the two strongest tribes: the Helai tribe and the Kolan tribe.

The three tribes that have not expressed their stance so far are the Lago tribe, the Chico tribe, and the Maho tribe.

Vivian's mission this time is to persuade the three tribes that have not expressed their stance so far, and persuade the chiefs of these three tribes to make these three tribes surrender obediently, further reducing the combat power of the mountain barbarians. Reduce the pressure on Deng Jiaer to send troops to attack the mountain.

The first stop of the lobbying mission, and Vivian's first target, is the Zeke Department.

The chief of the Chico Tribe received news early that an envoy from the Britannia people was coming to their tribe, so he was ready to welcome Vivian and others.

Vivian did not come alone with Samuel.

The two of them were accompanied by 24 elite soldiers.

The mission of these 24 elite soldiers is the same as Samuel's, responsible for protecting Vivian.

No one can guarantee that Vivian's lobbying mission will be completed successfully and smoothly. After all, Vivian is Deng Jiaer's sister. Due to emotions and reasons, Su Cheng will not let Vivian fall into too much danger. in the situation.

In order to ensure Vivian's safety and reduce the risk of a breakdown in negotiations as much as possible, Su Cheng transferred Samuel, his most capable and most idle general, to serve as Vivian's escort during this trip.

In addition to transferring Samuel, Su Cheng also selected 24 elite soldiers from the fortress to serve as Vivian's guards.

Therefore, the total number of envoys lobbying Shanman this time, including Vivian, is 26 in total.

After arriving at the door of the Qi Ke Tribe, Vivian saw a group of people from the Qi Ke Tribe standing outside the door to greet them.

When the leader saw Vivian, he immediately greeted her with a smile and said in extremely poor Britannia:

"Hello, Your Majesty the Envoy, I am Ruda, the leader of the Chiko Tribe."

As soon as Luda finished his greeting, Vivian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showed a decent and warm smile, and said in very fluent and standard Lake language:

"Nice to meet you. I am none other than Vivian O'Brien, the envoy of the Britannia Empire. I am somewhat confident in my Lake language, so there is no need to speak to me in Britannia." Oh, just use the Lake language, it will be more convenient."

Seeing that Vivian could speak Lake language, no matter whether it was Ruda, the leader of the Chico tribe, or Samuel and others standing behind Vivian, they all showed surprise and surprise.

"I didn't expect that Your Excellency actually understands the language of our Lakers..." Ruda looked at the petite girl standing in front of him with a surprised look on his face, "Ah, I'm sorry, I was just talking. Your Excellency, envoy, please come in quickly. Well, welcome to our Ziko Department!”

After saying that, Ruda turned slightly sideways, and then made a "please" gesture towards Vivian and others.

Vivian smiled at him and nodded in response, then walked towards Ziko's ministry.

Except for Vivian, the other 25 people are all tall and majestic, with long swords hanging on their waists and majestic appearance.

When they walked into the Ziko tribe, they attracted the attention of many people in the tribe.

The soldiers in Zico's tribe looked at the swords on the waists of the 25 guards headed by Samuel, as well as their tall and strong bodies (Samuel's figure was larger than that of the other 24 guards behind him). Slightly worse, Samuel's figure is slender),

They couldn't help but swallow their saliva to relieve the tension and a little fear in their hearts.

After entering Zico's department, Samuel couldn't help but frown and hold his breath.

Not only Samuel, but the other 24 guards behind him were all like Samuel, who couldn't help but frown after entering Zico's Department and smelling the smell of Zico's Department. , held his breath.

Because Zeke's department really stinks.

Samuel and others had already smelled the stench when they were standing outside the door of Ziko's department just now.

This is the smell of poop.

There was poop all over the floor in Zeke's department.

Dog poop, chicken poop, cow poop, human poop...

Because there was so much poop on the ground, Samuel and others had to look at the ground all the time to avoid stepping on anything unclean later.

Although he had long heard that the mountain barbarians were a group of barbarians who were still in the tribal period and lived like primitive people, Samuel did not expect that the life of the mountain barbarians could be so barbaric and primitive.

Although the cities before the Britannia Empire were also so smelly, because people in the past liked to dump excrement everywhere, especially in alleys.

So you can always see piles of feces as high as mountains in alleys.

But these were all hundreds of years ago.

After productivity increased, people began to awaken to hygiene awareness, and the imperial government began to strictly control the unhygienic behavior of dumping feces at will, the sanitary situation in cities across the empire immediately began to improve rapidly.

Nowadays, it is difficult to smell any unpleasant smell in any city in the Britannia Empire, and you will no longer see mountains of excrement in the alleys.

Each city has a fixed excrement collection point.

After people collect their excrement here, the government will have special personnel to deal with these excrement.

The treatment of these excrement is generally made into agricultural fertilizer or directly taken outside the city and landfilled away from water sources.

Not only that, public toilets are also built in various cities of the empire, so that pedestrians on the road have convenient places, instead of having to find some unmanned corners to solve the problem like hundreds of years ago.

The current rural sanitation situation in the Britannia Empire is also constantly improving under the promotion of the imperial government.

Samuel, who has been accustomed to civilized and hygienic life, is really hard to imagine that there are still people living this kind of life of throwing feces everywhere.

Samuel, who was almost suffocated by the smell of the Qiko tribe and whose eyes were a little sore, couldn't help but increase his contempt for the mountain barbarians.

At the same time, he also admired Vivian more.

Because Samuel noticed that after entering the Qike Department and smelling the pungent stench, Vivian's face and expression did not change at all.

She still had a faint smile on her face.

Samuel couldn't help but cast a shocked and admiring look at Vivian who was walking in front of him, and at the same time thought to himself:

-- Does Miss Vivian have no sense of smell...
