Chapter 374: Forest Alliance
Oldman Small Town did not publically announce they were looking for allies, they also spread the news in small towns several hundred miles away that they were looking for soldiers. If they won influences through alliances, then recruiting soldiers with high reparations would be winning over the dispersed forces.
The experts living in reclusion in the Forest of Chaos could not be underestimated. Some were warriors who had to escape a disaster of their country and some were people who escaped after killing for revenge. There were some that escaped after their tribes and homelands were destroyed, being the final people that remained, the final experts that wandered the lands.
Some of these people had no set residence and mainly appearing in small towns. They dared to live where others did not dare since they were by themselves anyway. Since they lived in small towns, why wouldn’t they dare live in Oldman Small Town? Not to mention the fact that they would have high statuses and would get great treatment.
More and more people came for shelter during this time.
On the matter of Oldman Small Town looking for alliances, there were many powers near them that showed interest. This kind of new management style attracted the consideration of some people and finally some tribes decided to give it a try. Among them was an orc tribe, an ogre tribe, a wolf tribe, and a bear tribe.
These four tribes were the first class powers within a thousand miles range. Although they could not disregard the dark forest principle, they were not migratory like the middle and small powers. This was because as long as the powerful forces deep in the forest did not covet their possessions, it didn’t matter if their living areas were revealed.
The four tribes sent their troops almost at the same time and they arrived in Oldman Small Town almost at the same time. They were here to inspect the town, while also preparing to gain a deeper understanding of the Oldman Small Town’s system.
Oldman Small Town could accommodate over a hundred thousand people and that was when it was self dependent. When it wasn’t self dependent and Miracle Commerce supplied food and supplies, it would be easy to support three times that number.
This situation was hard to obtain from the other tribes in the forest.
Even if a tribe was strong, their range of action was only around one hundred miles. All their food, leather, materials, and supplies came from this range of action.
It was because of this that when a tribe developed, they would reach a bottleneck eventually. When their population passed a certain amount, the resources they can obtain would not be able to support anymore and it would trigger a survival crisis. It was actually very simple to solve this survival crisis. The first way was to relocate and find an area with richer resources. The second was to divide the tribe, splitting the tribe in half to reduce their population and the pressure to survive. The third was to fight a war which not only reduced their population, but also stole other people’s resources to increase their own.
Any tribe or small town in the Forest of Chaos would reach a developmental bottleneck.
But Oldman Small Town would not have this bottleneck because Oldman Small Town could give up being self reliant. WIth the spatial transportation and secret support from the Southern Summer Country, they could easily support several million people!
The four tribes’ envoys were very satisfied with Oldman Small Town’s scale and environment. They could find advanced technology everywhere in the small town which made the people from these tribes pleasantly surprised.
Oldman Small Town was in a canyon and was an underground city, so to many cities, it was considered a very firm city. There were over five thousand outstanding dwarf craftsmen who could forge high level equipment and weapons, so if they became the small town’s partner, it would be easier for them to buy dwarf items. This was a point that many tribes considered especially important.
After the envoys had been in the small town for several days.
The Oldman Small Town mayor held a conference for the first time.
The green skinned, large fanged orcs who were twice as big as humans, the ogres who were four times the size of humans, the wolf spirit beasts considered an enemy by the Southern Summer humans, and the never seen before, but were unparalleled among spirit beasts, the bear tribe.
When these several races sat down at the same table.
Each person had strange twists in their heart from this!
Actually these people felt this was very strange. They thought the Oldman Small Town’s mayor would be a dwarf or perhaps a barbarian, but no one would have thought that the person in front of them would be a fair looking human youth.
The humans were one of the most civilized race on the continent and their technology was developing very fast, but there weren’t many humans in the Forest of Chaos, so they did not have a deep impression of humans. They could not understand what kind of human would actually become the mayor.
The dwarf chief introduced him, “This human is Miracle Commerce’s founder Chu Tian. He and his army makes up the majority of the small town’s garrison, so he is the mayor. Since everyone has plans to join the small town’s alliance, please look at the small town’s management rules first!”
Chu Tian prepared three different documents in three different languages, separated into the orc, ogre, and spirit beast languages, “These documents have it written clearly. Oldman Small Town has taken out 30% for allies and allies do not need to provide any resource or money. The allies will receive a share according to the forces they supply and you won’t receive more than 5% share when joining for the first time.”
“We need the most elite troops and after these soldiers enter the small town, unless you withdraw from the alliance, you will not be able to command them. These soldiers will be managed by the small town once they join the alliance forces, otherwise it’ll be considered a violation.”
“Wait!” An orc shouted in a somewhat unhappy voice, “Why are our soldiers managed by you!”
“That’s right!” The wolf man also revealed his discontent, “My clan’s soldiers will be managed by my clan!”
Chu Tian gave two cold laughs, “Isn’t this request laughable? A domain can only have one mind and one voice, otherwise there will be chaos. You don’t want to send troops and want to see this town fall into chaos? For the development and safety of this small town, this is the unchangeable basic principle!”
This was a must.
If the army was stationed in Oldman Small Town and each tribe could control their own army, wouldn’t it be allowing a wolf in? What would happen if a revolt happened! Although Chu Tian liked risks, he was not stupid.
Therefore the foreign troops would be split apart and divided amongst the barbarians and dwarves. They would be slowly digested into their troops, so they could defend against chaos in the future.
The several foreign races discussed with each other.
A bear clansman stood up, “We can accept this condition, but each person only receiving 5% is too little! Even after the small town becomes prosperous, this little bit does not count for much money! Our bear warriors will be sending one thousand elites, I’m afraid the battle strength will surpass this ratio!”
The bear tribe was confident in their warriors!
The the ogres were even more confident than the bear tribe. The ogre tribe’s representative’s tall body stood up, “Our ogres are invincible and incredibly strong, we only need to send five hundred soldiers to surpass this portion!”
Although the barbarians and dwarves were strong soldiers, how could they surpassed the incomparably huge and dangerous ogres?
Chu Tian revealed a faint smile, “This battle strength cannot be discussed and as for how much one has, we can only determine this after an appraisal. Relax, our appraisals are fair and our allies will not lose anything! But considering the small town’s safety and stability, as well as considering the stability of the alliance, the first army sent by our allies will not gain more than 5% of shares. As for benefits, it isn’t as simple as a share in the small town.”
The four foreign race people were stunned, “What other benefits are there?”
“First, our allies will become Miracle Commerce collaborators and can directly buy things from Miracle Commerce. Food, talisman, pills, equipment, and even some things you can’t think of, we can provide it all as well as at a good price for good quality. Similarly, your extra resources and the resources you buy from the forest, you can all sell to Miracle Commerce. We’ll buy everything at a price that surpasses the Forest of Chaos’ market price.”
“However much we have?”
“However much you have!”
The four foreign race people all revealed looks of disbelief at this. If they really did this, just this alone would bring their tribes incomparable profit. If they could buy food and pills, when their tribes were facing a famine or a plaque, they could save their entire tribe!
To sell various materials to Miracle Commerce at a higher market price, this was a great chance for these tribes to become rich. They were large tribes, so they had a lot of excess materials and they could buy other things from other small towns. If they could buy low and sell high, they could earn quite a bit during the process of reselling.
“Second, after the alliance is formed, we will become allies with each other. Our ally’s merchants will not just receive privileges in Oldman Small Town, we will also provide accommodations for you. Moreover, when important allies are under various threats, Oldman Small Town will help our allies through these problems. This help will not just come in terms of materials, but also when possible, Oldman Small Town may also send the allied army to help.”
There were many races in the Forest of Chaos.
No trusted each other, but if the various tribes placed their armies here, it would be buying a kind of insurance for themselves. If their tribes were in difficulty, whether it was from nature or caused by men, if Oldman Small Town were to provide support, their situation would be much better!
Not bad, not bad, this was an alliance that was worth giving a try!
After the four foreign races understood everything, they immediately returned to their tribes to report. Actually there was no need to consider it and many tribes began to prepare sending soldiers, preparing to joining the Forest Alliance Army.
