Alien Knights

"The United Industry Union? What is that?"

Faced with the doubts of the ocean refugees, Rita said: "Before explaining this concept, I first need to reach some consensus with everyone."

"consensus?"

"First, in Dragon Country, we races from the ocean are outsiders and aliens. Only when we unite together can we take care of each other, so we must trust each other unconditionally."

"Yes, it's natural."

"Secondly, since we want to unite, if we adopt a military alliance or set up camps, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the Dragon Kingdom and even lead to a war."

"Yes, this sea area originally belongs to the Dragon Kingdom. If we continue to prepare soldiers in a big way, it will definitely have a bad impact."

"Third, the biggest problem for us is food. As far as I know, many tribes did not store much food during the long journey. After arriving here, they can only give priority to young adults. Eaten, causing the elderly and children to suffer from hunger.”

Rita nodded: "So, we now need to build a trading post for trading goods. Firstly, it will not cause too much resentment in the Dragon Kingdom. Secondly, we can trade urgently needed supplies."

She continued to explain: "In other words, carrying out trade with the Dragon Kingdom and building Waiheke Island and the surrounding waters into a special trade area will not only exchange the rich products in the ocean for the supplies we need, but also allow us to It is legitimate to build a nest and live here."

Gray Hu somewhat understood: "So, that industry federation is actually a large tribe under the banner of trade."

Rita smiled and said, "That's right to understand."

After careful consideration, other representatives of maritime refugees felt that this joint industry union was indeed the best choice at the moment.

Rita cleared her throat: "Next, I want to talk about the internal structure and operation of this union."

"First, the trade unions need a leader..."

Gray Hu said: "It's like the leader of a large tribe."

Rita nodded first, then shook her head: "There are some differences."

"A large tribe is formed by a powerful tribe annexing many small tribes. The leader of the large tribe has absolute power. The union leader is only responsible for the internal management and external liaison of the union, but has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of a single small tribe. "

Rita thought and said: "Let me give you an example. In a large tribe, if someone disobeys the leader's order, the leader can directly execute that person without the consent of the leader of the small tribe. But in the industrial union, the union leader You can’t do that, the punishment can only be carried out personally by the chief of the small tribe.”

Gray Hu: "So that's it."

Rita continued: "In large tribes, all wealth and harvests belong to the leader, but in industrial unions, wealth is pooled and belongs to all tribes, and harvests are distributed in proportion based on everyone's input and contribution. "

Gray Pheasant: "That sounds fair."

Rita: "This form of cooperation has never been seen in our original ocean life. The relationship between tribes is either fighting or annexing. I understand that it may take you some time to adapt, but this is what we are doing now. The best option for survival.”

Gray Hu straightened up, nodded and said: "I have no objection, Jinlaska will join this joint union."

"We'll join in too!"

"So are we!"

Rita: "Now that everyone agrees, there's one last thing - who will be the leader of the union?"

Gray Hu said: "The mermaids of Salamo paid a high price for the Dragon Kingdom to accept us, and they came here earlier and are more familiar with everything. Therefore, I suggest that the chief of Salamo be the leader. Leaders of the United Trade Union.”

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Listening to these approvals, Rita laughed, and she slapped her fish tail and saluted everyone.

Muxi Wangcheng, the king's audience room.

"The invitation to the Kalibav Drama Competition...huh? This invitation is from last month!"

Todd looked at the letter in his hand with a dark look on his face, and asked Evie: "Why did I only see it today? And I found it in the crack of the table?"

Evie, who was lying on the sofa, stretched lazily: "I don't know, there may be some less important letters, so I just put them away."

Todd helplessly looked at the tall former Valkyrie: "Then what is an important letter to you?"

"Let me think about it, battle reports, enemy intelligence, ordnance preparation, troop movements..."

Todd said with a headache: "To put it simply, you only care about the battlefield."

Evie retorted: "Not only on the battlefield, I also care about things in the bedroom. But if you think about it carefully, it seems that you can do the things you do in the bedroom when you find time on the battlefield."

Todd said in a deep voice: "The things that the king has to do are not only fighting wars and having children, but also people's livelihood, science and technology, commerce, culture, diplomacy... are all the responsibilities of the king. It turns out that I always thought that those things were handled by the cabinet. , now I understand, I didn’t receive the submitted report at all.”

Evie sat up, her face full of confusion: "Except for fighting, how do I know which other things are important and which are less important? Take this drama competition as an example. If it were held in Beidao, no one would go to see it. !”

Todd sighed, not wanting to blame Evie.

The other party used to be a Valkyrie and was a good fighter, but handling government affairs was simply too difficult for others to do.

It's time to find yourself a more reliable secretary.

Thinking of this, the figure of Huggins appeared in Todd's mind.

However, in the last conversation, Todd felt a little strange about how much Hutchins knew about the Black Plague.

Todd wanted to use the soul space to find out from whom Huggins obtained the information about the Black Plague, but in the end he gave up the idea.

Maybe it would be better to ask in person.

Todd thought of this and asked Evie: "Where is Huggins now?"

"In a hotel in the south of the city, I found someone to keep an eye on him for several days. There seems to be nothing wrong." Evie said to Todd: "Do you think he is hiding something from you?"

Todd tapped his fingers on the table: "It's time to bring him back."

"Thank God! I finally don't have to deal with these reports!" Evie paused for a moment and then said: "But, can he be trusted?"

"I trust him." Todd shook his head: "But what is frustrating is that the idea of ​​trust should not appear in the king. I cannot bear the risk behind it, let alone pay the price it may cause."
