- When they heard Zhang Tie say the three words "I agree," everyone in the box suddenly felt like a stone fell heavily in their hearts. .
In this nation-building plan, in addition to the Ewendala Islands having an autonomous parliament and enjoying greater autonomy, the bear-level tribe in the ice and snow wasteland also enjoys greater autonomy. In this case, even if Zhang Iron Crown, except for the Ice Dire Bear Tribe and the Iron Bear Tribe, Zhang Tie does not have much rights over many internal affairs, human rights, military power, financial power, and arbitration rights of other bear-level tribes. The power of each bear-level tribe Still in the hands of the tribal chiefs and elders.
For the Fire Bear Tribe, Sea Bear Tribe and Wild Bear Tribe, this is the bottom line for their support of Zhang Tie¡¯s unification of the ice and snow wasteland.
The attitude of the Spencer family of the Iron Bear Tribe is relatively neutral, while the attitude of Elder Gulas of the Ice and Snow Bear Tribe is more radical, and he is quite dissatisfied with the conservatism of the three bear-level tribes. However, Elder Gulas also knew that it was unprecedented for the three bear-level tribes to recognize Zhang Tie's authority and support the unification of the Slavs. Without Peter, there would be no such thing as what Peter had shown. With their extraordinary strength and those sacred miracles, it is impossible for the three tribes to make such a compromise.
At this time, Peter Hampres, in the eyes of more and more Slavs, has become more and more consistent with the image of the great king who can save the Slavs predicted by the great prophet and high priest. In such a general trend Under the circumstances, no matter who it is, no matter which one it is, they want to stand on the opposite side of Peter Humpreis. Everyone will face tremendous pressure.
But the compromise between the three tribes is also conditional. This nation-building plan is actually an exchange. They supported Zhang Tie to become the supreme ruler of the ice and snow wasteland. Zhang Tie also wanted to support them in stabilizing their rule over their own tribe. Under the power structure of theocratic unity proposed by Zhang Tie, the chiefs of the three tribes all asked Zhang Tie to grant him the title. They are the highest priests of the Ancient God Religion in their respective tribal areas. The knight elders of several tribes will also join the "Cardinal Presbytery" of the newly established country. The powers of this "Cardinal Presbytery" are equivalent to the newly established A combination of the national cabinet and the tribal council. Having the right to intervene in important affairs of the entire country, the three tribes actually used this to expand the influence of their own tribes and the power base of their clan leaders.
This is a naked exchange.
Only the Ice Bear Tribe has unreserved support and trust for Zhang Tie. The great prophet and high priest Erqida left behind the priestly inheritance of the Slavs of the Ice Bear Tribe. In this nation-building plan, the Ice Bear Tribe actively requested that it be incorporated into the inheritance system of the Ancient God Religion. From now on, all priests in the ice and snow wasteland will be included. They will only be able to obtain the inheritance of priests from the Ancient God Religion. In this way, the Ancient God Religion, which has only inherited doctrines and beliefs so far, has a more complete and powerful secret system of magical magic. This is an indispensable part of almost all powerful religions in the Black Iron Age. .
In this era, if the clergy of a religion do not master a powerful and unique magical secret, that kind of religion will be in the eyes of many people. Basically they all belong to cults or pheasant religions, except for being able to deceive people in small places. Basically can't get on the big stage. The religious mystical esoteric system is basically very different from the various esoteric and combat skill systems developed along the line of fighting spirit. They are basically all kinds of esoteric and secret skills developed based on spiritual power. , such secrets and secret techniques are called divine arts in the context of religion. The inheritance of divine arts is more stringent than the inheritance of combat skills.
Compared with the complexity of the various tribes in the ice and snow wasteland, the Ewendalla Islands are relatively simple. At this time, the wealthy representatives of the Ewendalla Islands have no easy cards to play in front of Zhang Tie. They are in this country. The only points of contention in the plan are actually two points - the tax rate of the Ewendal Islands after the founding of the country and the status of each family's private army.
Regarding these two points, under Zhang Tie's instruction and through the coordination and communication of Mrs. Olina, these two issues have been determined.
In the future, the taxation of the Evenndara Islands will be unified. At the same time, the tax level of the unified Evenundara Islands will have a maximum upper limit of no more than 8% of the current average tax of the entire Evenndara Islands. ten. Secondly, the private armies and fleets of each family will be reorganized into the Evandala mixed fleet. The nature of the fleet belongs to local garrison forces. All expenses for these local garrison forces are paid by the local area, that is, each wealthy family themselves. At the same time, the local garrison forces The commanders are also nominated by various wealthy families, and then appointed by the Ewendalar Islands Autonomous Assembly. In peacetime, these local garrison forces only accept the mobilization and command of the Ewendalar Islands Autonomous Assembly. In wartime - specifically referring to the demons During the invasion, they will all accept Zhang Tie's command.
Compared with the stomachs of several bear-level tribes in the ice and snow wasteland,However, the wealthy families in the Evandala Islands are somewhat self-aware and know that they are not qualified to raise anything about the Ancient God Religion with Zhang Tie.
The full name of the new country is the United Kingdom of the Sacred Ice and Snow Wasteland and Ewendalar Islands, referred to as the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. The Ancient God Religion will become the state religion of the Holy Icelandic Kingdom, the Pope of the Ancient God Religion and the king of the kingdom. The two positions will be combined into one, creating a brand new name that represents the bloodline inheritance of the ancient gods and the supreme ruler of Slavia - Tsar.
Zhang Tie will become the first czar of the Slavs in the Black Iron Age, commanding the entire Holy Kingdom of Iceland and the Ancient God Religion.
This is the general outline and content of the plan. More institutional details will be gradually improved after Zhang Tie's coronation. And so far, Zhang Tie has not proposed a complete division of priests within the Ancient God Religion. It is the religion founded by Zhang Tie. Only Zhang Tie has the sole decision-making power regarding the class division within this religion.
When Zhang Tie said the three words "I agree", the chiefs and elders of the three tribes of Fire Bear Tribe, Sea Bear Tribe and Wild Bear Tribe were actually a little surprised. They originally thought that Zhang Tie would respond to the three terms in the nation-building plan. There are some restrictions on the autonomy of the bear-level tribe, and the three tribes have also coordinated in private. If Zhang Tie is really dissatisfied with this plan, the three tribes can actually make some concessions in some aspects.
No one expected that Zhang Tie would agree so readily after reading the plan.
Many people are a little surprised.
Zhang Tie smiled at the elders and clan leaders of the three tribes and did not want to explain anything more. "Let's get off the bus. High Priest Sarin has probably been waiting at the station for a long time!"
¡¡
High Priest Salin has indeed been waiting at the station for a long time.
When Zhang Tie stepped off the train, he saw the long-lost face of High Priest Shalin. Five years had not left any trace on the face of High Priest Shalin, who had become a knight. The priest's eyes were still as deep as the sea. It seems that there are always many unknown secrets hidden in those eyes.
The platform of the station was newly decorated. There were two rows of standing warriors standing on the platform. There were no flowers. There were no cheers, and there were not even any unnecessary sounds inside or outside the station. In that extraordinary silence, everything seemed solemn and solemn.
Aurora and the others got off the train with Zhang Tie.
Sabrina walks in the ranks of the Wild Bear Tribe. Lady Olena also walked with representatives of the wealthy families of the Ewendalar Islands. Only the cool Aurora walked directly behind Zhang Tie.
This time, besides Seton, her two personal maids, and the ten strongest warriors of the Gray Eagle tribe, there were also four of her cousins ??who got on the train with Aurora. Zhang Tie didn¡¯t know either. Why did Aurora bring her cousins? But since Aurora likes it, it's up to her. Because in the future, Aurora will live in the Gozdali Plain. Zhang Tie felt that Aurora would not be so lonely if she had a few relatives and friends around her.
To those cousins ??of Aurora. Zhang Tie didn't have much impression of them after so many days on the train. He had only met them once, but they were Aurora's uncle and aunt who dominated a wind wolf tribe with a population of three to four hundred thousand. Zhang Tie was deeply impressed by the contact. Aurora's uncle was very scheming, and Aurora's aunt was also a powerful woman.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]
"Don't you think it's too quiet?" When Zhang Tie walked up to him, High Priest Salin smiled, and that smile penetrated the vicissitudes of time. "Please forgive the silence of the people here, because the entire Icefield Giant Bear Tribe For this day, for your arrival, I have been waiting for hundreds of years. This is a long wait. When this wait finally becomes a reality after several generations, everyone here cannot cheer. , because that cheer represents celebration, and for everyone in the Ice Bear Tribe, this is not a celebration, but a destiny of nirvana!¡±
This is the first time Zhang Tie has come to the Gozdali Plain, the territory of the Ice and Snow Bear Tribe. Five years ago, when Zhang Tie first came to the Ice and Snow Wasteland, even though he had already become the leader of the Ice Bear Tribe, , but he had never visited the Gozdali Plain until he left the ice and snow wasteland.
"Nirvana of destiny!" Zhang Tie read the words spoken by High Priest Salin softly, and deeply felt the heavy weight behind these words. He looked at High Priest Salin seriously, "I hope I¡¯m not late yet!¡±
High Priest Salin smiled and made a gesture of invitation
¡¡
Zhang Tie rode on a tall saber-toothed beast, with all the seats in front and behind him vacant, walking in the middle of the team like stars holding the moon, escorted by rows of Thor's Hammer cavalry in front and behind, Leave the train station.
Outside the train station, both sides of the street were filled with people. No one made a sound. The scene where tens of thousands of people gathered was as quiet as if it were in an open field. Only the uniform footsteps of saber-toothed beasts could be seen. The sound rang clearly on the street, but when Zhang Tie stepped out of the train station, the people who saw him on the street began to kneel down one by one. Wherever Zhang Tie's horse went, there were people everywhere. Kneel down, like a domino being toppled.
Among the crowd, Zhang Tie saw many people standing on the street holding urns and portraits of their ancestors. The descendants of those people brought the ashes and portraits of their predecessors to witness the arrival of the King of Ice and Snow Wasteland.
"Father, grandpa, the person predicted by the great prophet and high priest has come. Look, this is your last wish. He has come. Today, your ashes can peacefully return to the embrace of the earth. "This man will lead our tribe and the Slavs to strength and glory!" Among the people kneeling down, a tall man knelt on the ground, holding two urns high in his hands. He raised it as if to let the people in the urn see Zhang Tie clearly.
Under the strong sense of knighthood, the man's words clearly reached Zhang Tie's ears, and Zhang Tie looked at the crowds on both sides. Looking at the members of the Ice Bear Tribe who came to welcome him with belongings of the deceased, their expressions became more and more solemn.
This trust is too heavy. It was so heavy that Zhang Tie felt a kind of pressure.
Can these people survive this holy war?
Zhang Tie doesn¡¯t know.
But he will do his best to live up to the trust placed in him by everyone in this land.
Zhang Tie secretly made a decision.
A bustling town has formed around the train station. The town is full of tall warehouses and mountains of various goods. These things fully demonstrate the role of the tribal axis railway in the prosperity of the Gozdali Plain.
Leaving the town to the foot of Mount Erqida. On both sides of this 40-plus-kilometer journey. They were all crowded by the solemn crowd. Those people stood in the fields and farmlands, watching Zhang Tie pass by.
Riding on a saber-toothed beast, the 40-kilometer journey took Zhang Tie more than three hours.
¡°In the plain at the foot of Mount Erqida, a magnificent temple built of gray granite stood in Zhang Tie¡¯s sight.
"This temple was built by your followers in the Great Fissure of Hydra Glacier. You asked your followers to go to the gray hills to each mine a piece of gray granite of 200 kilograms, and then walked. Crossing several Carrying that stone to the giant ice bear tribe in the wilderness of a thousand kilometers is a severe test of a person's physical strength, spirit, will and faith. Many people have done it. To this day, all the devout ancient god religions Believers regard this process as a pilgrimage to test their souls. Those devout believers of the ancient god religion, those who want to follow you, will bring their own dry food, prepare everything they need on the way, and then go to Gray In the hills, you mined a piece of granite weighing more than 200 kilograms, and then brought the granite here. More and more granite accumulated here. Your followers used the pieces of granite to build magnificent buildings. This temple, called the Gray Temple, is now the core of the ancient religion¡¯s beliefs!¡±
The voice of High Priest Shalin turned into a thin voice, which sounded in Zhang Tie's ears by means of sound transmission into the secret.
In the square outside the Gray Palace, Zhang Tie saw a large number of his followers whose spiritual temperaments were completely different from those five years ago. These were his earliest followers. These followers were wearing gray robes. , each holding a "Book of Eternity" in their hands, waiting for Zhang Tie's arrival.
The original large water tanks carved from stone stood in the square. The edges of the large water tanks were a little rough before, but by this time, they had become extremely smooth, just like being wrapped around them. It looks like it has been carefully polished.
But of course it was not polished deliberately by anyone, but the traces left by the believers of the Ancient God Cult who came here to touch the large water tanks carved out of stones. Those who come here every day to pay homage to this holy witness There is an endless stream of people visiting the tanks. Everyone who comes will reverently touch the exterior of the large stone water tanks to personally feel the power of God. The more people touch, the rough appearance of the large water tanks It also became smoother, showing a special luster.
The powerful power of faith can turn decay into magic.
Every dayOn the night, at sunset, the earliest followers of Zhang Tie, who presided over the Gray Palace, would pour water into these holy jars with a solemn consciousness. On the next day, those who Letters from afar will also line up to drink a cup of holy water scooped from the holy vat when they come to admire and touch the holy vat.
I don¡¯t know when, the legend that the holy water in the holy vat can cure diseases and wash away souls and sins has spread like wildfire in the ice and snow wasteland. More and more people who have drank the holy water claim that the holy water has a smell. With incredible power, more and more people are coming here, and the reputation of the Ancient God Religion is becoming more and more prosperous.
Even at this time when Zhang Tie came to the Gray Palace, Zhang Tie saw that there was still a man with a tired face and a tired look in his eyes, carrying heavy pieces of gray granite from the distant plain. Walking towards here, outside the square, people were queuing up to drink a glass of holy water, and there was also a queue that stretched for several miles.
If you want to drink a glass of holy water, you have to queue up here at least one day in advance. Therefore, the queue for taking photos is almost always the same length. Even after the daily holy water is distributed, those waiting in line, He won't leave, but will wait for his turn the next day.
Looking at the scenes in the Gray Palace and witnessing the power of faith, the wealthy representatives of the Avundara Islands who worship money as a totem were all shocked. The ones who were even more shocked than them were the clan leaders and elders of several tribes in the ice and snow wasteland, because in the gray palace, they saw three men with their upper bodies naked, carrying thorns on their backs, kneeling under the statue of the ancient god to repent. Those three people are the clan leaders of the Demon Bear Tribe, the Black Bear Tribe and the Mountain Bear Tribe
It is a Chinese tradition to bear thorns to apologize. However, in the Black Iron Age, with the strong influence and cultural voice of the Chinese, this tradition has already spread to every corner of the world as the Chinese become stronger. .
Two days ago, the patriarchs of these three tribes, escorted by the elders of their respective tribes, came to the Gray Palace and began to repent like sinners. The three of them had been kneeling here for two days without eating or drinking. .
Looking at the three kneeling people, everyone knew that in the entire ice and snow wasteland, the last obstacle to Peter Humpreis's coronation had been removed.
Seeing those three people, Zhang Tie ignored them completely, and just seemed to see three masses of air.
The chiefs of the three tribes, at this time, did not even dare to raise their heads and look at Zhang Tie. They remained kneeling as if they were appointed.
High Priest Shalin whispered something in Zhang Tie's ear, but no one could hear it except Zhang Tie.
Hearing this, Zhang Tie raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.
In the Gray Palace, Zhang Tie formally received his first batch of followers. Zhang Tie's simple words of encouragement and encouragement were like hearing the sounds of nature in the ears of those followers, which was inspiring. Incessantly.
"Two days later, in the temple on Mount Erqida, I will be officially crowned, and the Ancient God Religion will become the state religion of a new country."
In the Gray Palace, Zhang Tie officially announced this shocking news to his followers.
Afterwards, everyone left the Gray Palace, and the group went directly to Mount Erqida (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
