What's wrong with building a steel torrent in a dungeon?

"Nerlt!!!" Harald said, "But Nerlt is from the Feather Tribe... You... Why is the father of the Feather Tribe princess a human?"

"Except for a pair of wings, the Feathered Tribe are very similar to humans," said Petrekhye.

"What about your wings?"

"I cut it off myself!" Petrekhey said calmly.

what!

The people present looked at each other and looked at Petrekhey in great surprise.

You have to know that although the wings of the Feather Tribe are their strongest weapon, they are also their weak point, because they are covered with tactile nerves and are very sensitive! Therefore, after some fleets capture the Feather Tribe, they often use various methods to torture their wings.

But now Petrekhovsky actually broke his wings.

"Can I ask why you do this?" Harald asked curiously.

"More than ten years ago, I had my wings chopped off, because only in this way can I integrate into the human world and learn the most advanced culture and technology in this world. The Feather Tribe is seriously out of touch with this world! If we don't do this, sooner or later we will lose the glory of all our ancestors and become a completely barbaric sea creature.

"Theft."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the plain-looking man in front of them with admiration.

In order to communicate with the outside world, the chief of the Feather Clan took the lead and cut off his own wings! Regardless of anything else, such courage is worthy of respect from everyone present.

"It turns out that my choice was the right one. I have traveled to various continents for more than ten years. I have worked as a miner, a carpenter, and a mercenary! I have learned a lot of new knowledge from different races and brought them back without reservation! Especially in the past few years, I have learned a lot of new things in the city of Orila and the port of Bieson."

"You mean to say that you have been in our territory since you received the invitation from the city lord?" Harald widened his eyes.

"Yes," said Petrekhey.

"But why didn't you come to us?"

"As it concerns the safety of the Feather Clan, I must be cautious." Petreksi said, "Our Thousand Feather Empire was wiped out by the Holy Alliance! We don't even know the reason. Even now, the Dwarf Empire is still trying to kill us. Although my clan is declining, I have to consider my people! What if the city lord is the same as the dwarves? Then won't the future of my clan be ruined by me, the clan leader?"

Chapter 232 Welcome to Join

"That's true! I can understand the chief's concerns." Harald said, "But now that the chief has come to us, does that mean he is interested in joining us?"

"Yes!" Petreksi said, "To be honest, I also participated in the Battle of Orilagrad. Although I was only a logistics soldier and did not fight directly on the battlefield."

After hearing this, everyone present looked at Petrekhov with admiration again. His experience was not just a taste, he even joined the army and participated in the war.

Harald said: "This war has shown me the determination and attitude of City Lord Fran! She does not believe in those false gods! Instead, she intends to use the power of mortals to create a new country! Just like our Feather Clan back then! This is a unique thing in the entire continent! That's why I decided to join the City Lord and do such a great thing with him! I hope the City Lord can accept us."

Having said this, Petrekhey bowed respectfully to Harald.

"It is an honor for our Orila City to receive the help of the Feather Tribe!" Harald said, "Before the city lord left, he told me that if the Feather Tribe wants to join us, I must agree. We have also drawn up a resettlement plan for this purpose."

As he spoke, Harald handed a contract to Petrekhey.

"It is said that Fran City Manager is very efficient. It really lives up to his reputation." Petreksi looked at the contract in his hand and immediately praised.

In the contract, Fran stated that as long as the Feather Tribe was willing to join, they would then be able to become a legal member of the City of Orila and become a member of the Vienna Alliance. This also meant that Fran would protect them and safeguard their safety. If the Hua Alliance and the Northern Alliance continued to exclude or kill the Feather Tribe without reason in the future, the City of Orila would rise up in resistance.

As for the resettlement plan, Fran also proposed many options. She marked out several areas for the Feather Tribe to choose from as gathering places. These areas ranged from the Feruman Empire to the city of Aurora, and they were basically all fertile land. After they made their choice, Fran would also help them build basic residential buildings for them to live in.

However, these were not what Petreksi was concerned about. The most important thing was that Fran also expressed her willingness to help the Feather Tribe integrate into local life in the next two years, teach them to read and write, teach them various life and production skills, and let them find a decent job in the city.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

If these points can be achieved, it means that the century-long history of exile of the Feather Tribe will finally come to an end, and they will find a new home on the other side of the continent!

Thinking of this, Petrekhey's hands began to tremble slightly.

"I wonder if the patriarch is satisfied with the treatment proposed by the city lord?" Harald asked when he saw that Petrekhye had not responded.

"Satisfied! Very satisfied!" Peter Lexie said, "The Feather Clan has no way to repay you, so we can only go through fire and water for City Lord Fran in the days ahead."

Because of the generous policy treatment, Petreksi put aside his worries and immediately said that he would bring the advance tribesmen here, and after they were settled, he would slowly bring all the tribesmen here. Harald also wrote a letter to Fran overnight.

Upon learning of this, Fran immediately put down all the work on the west bank of the Soul-Guiding River and took a train from Minsk to the port of Biesund overnight. However, since the train is mainly used to load goods, the comfort issue is not considered. So Fran vomited all the way and finally changed to a carriage.

When Fran finally arrived at Bieson Port, the advance party of the Feather Tribe also arrived.

There were more than 200 feather tribe members who came with Petreksi. They had just arrived at Bieson Harbor and were immediately amazed by the prosperous scene. They kept looking at the new things around them. They had lived on the island for a long time and had never seen such a scene.

The food was especially tempting, making their legs go weak. The various street foods were obviously not comparable to their seaweed meals.

However, the residents of Bieson Port did not show much surprise at the Feather Tribe. After all, they had to deal with various races in the main plane every day and had seen all kinds of strange races. Except for the wings, the Feather Tribe at least looked similar to humans.

"Welcome to our new home! Chief Peter!" Fran shook hands with Peter enthusiastically, and then said to Nelter who was standing beside her: "We meet again!"

"Hello... hello!" Nerte thought of all the things he had done when he was captured, and all the boasts he had made. He couldn't help but blush and turned his eyes away.

Fran looked at these feather tribesmen. They were all skinny and bony, obviously malnourished. She was afraid that they would be blown down by the wind, so she quickly arranged for them to live. She didn't care about anything else for the time being, but first had a good meal of meat to replenish their bodies.

On the other side, Fran and Petrekhey began to discuss the next plan.

"As for the habitat, we finally chose the northwest of Biesund Port." Petreksy said, "It's very close to Biesund Port and has complete industries."

"Has the tribe leader already started planning work for the tribe members?" Fran asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Petreksi said, "We can't always rely on you, the city lord, for help. Sooner or later, we have to be independent and strong. Besides... the city lord recruited us because of our flying ability."

"Yes!" Fran did not hide it, and then said: "The flying ability of the Feather Tribe will play a vital role in future naval battles! As you know, our biggest competitors at sea are the dwarves and elves. Their navy is extremely powerful and has a deep foundation. Although we are latecomers, we can catch up with them in a short time.

It was very difficult for them to compete, but it is different with you here."

"I understand what the city lord means!" Petreksi said, "When the Feather Tribe is equipped with firearms, it will be a nightmare for any enemy! Not only enemies at sea, but also enemies on land!"

"You are worthy of being a soldier of Orila!" Fran said, "Of course, I will not force you to join the army! Whether you are willing to join the army or work in a factory to support yourself, it is all up to you. I will not stop you. In this respect, you are no different from other races in Orila City!

"We don't want to be treated differently!" Petreksi said, "But the dwarves and elves have swept us for hundreds of years, ruthlessly slaughtering our people and treating us like locusts! These things are deeply engraved in the hearts of every one of us. I think even if the city lord does not force us, we will still actively join the army. We are also looking forward to the day when we can avenge our people."

Chapter 233: The Dwarf's Game

After finalizing the most important things, Peter Lexi introduced the situation of the Feather Tribe to Fran in detail.

First of all, although he is the chief of the Feather Tribe, this chief only represents his sphere of influence, not the entire Feather Tribe! Nowadays, the entire Feather Tribe is entrenched in various places in the Endless Ocean, and has even spread to the South China Sea islands, fighting against the invasion of the dwarves together with the local indigenous people. So even Petrekhey himself is not very clear about how many people and how many tribes there are in the Feather Tribe.

Therefore, as the chief of the Feather Tribe, he could only bring the tribesmen within his sphere of influence! There were more than 20,000 of these people, distributed in an area in the southwest corner of the Endless Ocean, where the fishery was poor and it was also some distance away from the main trade routes. It could be said that it was not an ideal habitat.

However, due to this harsh environment, they were not visited by the dwarves. As the better habitats of the Feather Tribe were burned and occupied by the dwarves, a large number of Feather Tribe fled, and the island where Petreksi was located became one of the largest habitats of the Feather Tribe in the Endless Ocean.

But with a large population comes great pressure! And because they are far away from trade routes, it is difficult to plunder, which makes them suffer from hunger and disease all year round.

After a great famine swept the entire kingdom, Petreksi knew that if they continued to live like this, they would be destroyed sooner or later! Even if they were lucky enough not to die from the famine, they would be found by the dwarves in the end! This was a cage, and they had to land on land and build their own kingdom!

However, after so many years of estrangement, the Feathered Tribe had long lost track of the outside world. If they wanted to make contact with other races, they had to first understand them. So Petreksi took the lead and led some of the tribe members to cut off their wings, go to various ports to work incognito and learn various techniques.

It was only after this contact that he realized that the Feather Clan had already become notorious, and had even become synonymous with locusts and pirates! Other forces simply could not tolerate them.

Petreksi knew that if they wanted to find a new home, they had to change their image in the minds of various races, but changing their image meant they had to give up plundering! This was simply impossible for the current Feather Tribe!

Eventually, they shelved their plan to find a new home, and instead transplanted advanced technologies from various continents to the island. They learned how to grow seaweed from the Indians, how to fish in the deep sea from the Venetians, and how to use short-legged sheep from the orcs for livestock, which barely improved the pressure on the island.

But if they wanted to completely give up plundering and use the small island and the surrounding waters to support themselves, this effort would be like a drop in the bucket. At least Petrekhey would not see that day.

After that, Petrekhov traveled around, trying to find a way to save his people and himself, until Nerte brought a message from Fran.

After receiving the message, Petreksi came to the port of Biesund and caught up with the big recruitment at that time. He became a craftsman and learned to produce muskets and use looms in the new machinery factory. Later, he signed up for the new army. It can be said that he visited all the core industries of Fran.

After participating in the Battle of Orilagela, Petrekhey became more and more convinced that Fran could help them, so he returned to his people and told them all about his experience.

The tribesmen were also very excited. Because Petrekhey had a high prestige, everyone trusted the tribe leader's judgment. Most of the tribesmen planned to go to Aurora City, and the remaining tribesmen were skeptical, but they were just skeptical and did not resist.

Petrekhov knew that he had to take practical action to prove to his people that his judgment was correct, so he brought an advance team with him.

For Fran, he certainly hoped to recruit more Feather Tribe members, so after discussing various matters with Petrekh, he immediately began to build the Feather Tribe's new home.

With the opening of the main railway line and the slowdown in construction on the west bank of the Soul-Guiding River, they suddenly had new manpower, which was just right for construction!

Soon, a town was built around the port of Bieson. In order to commemorate the former Feather Tribe's empire, the town was named Qianyu Town. Not only that, Fran also sent many scholars to teach the young people of the Feather Tribe to read and write. After they were fully adapted to the place, they were taught to integrate into Fran's industrialized production and allowed to join the army.

From all the arrangements made by Fran, Petreksi could feel her sincerity. So after staying in Qianyu Town for another month, he decided to return and bring the rest of the tribesmen over.

Such a large migration would definitely require a large number of ships. So Fran waved her hand and asked the Jingxi Chamber of Commerce to free up a large number of merchant ships and temporarily convert them into ships for migration. Harald would coordinate and Petreksi would be at the helm, and they would go to the island of the Feather Tribe together.

Originally, these large merchant ships had their own missions, and the industrial products of Orila City were so popular among other forces that the profits brought by this voyage were immeasurable!

Tonnage is money.

However, Fran gave up the money that she could have earned to bring the Feather Tribe back, which is enough to show how much she values ​​the Feather Tribe.

Not long after, a large fleet consisting of more than 20 merchant ships and more than 10 warships was ready to set off from the port of Biesund towards the Endless Ocean.

It was obviously impossible to do such a huge event secretly, so the news quickly spread to the ears of various forces. Most of the forces thought that this was just a show by Fran and did not comment on it. Only the dwarves paid special attention to it.

Wall City.

A group of dwarves gathered in Valhalla to discuss this huge fleet.

"In the past few years, Fran's naval forces have been keeping a low profile, trying to appear harmless! Now they are suddenly making such a big fuss, there must be some conspiracy behind this."

"Are they planning to use this fleet to declare war on us? To declare war on us?"

"What an idiot! Don't they know that this little tonnage is not even comparable to our Endless Ocean Fleet? Not to mention that we have three other fleets of the same size."

"No! Fran is not that stupid! She would challenge us with such a small fleet! Not to mention that she would offend both us and the elves by doing so... At this time, a dwarf with a white beard interrupted everyone and said, "They are most likely doing this for the Feather Tribe."

"Feather tribe? There were rumors that more than a hundred feather tribe members had joined Aurora City. But... could it be that Fran was planning to pack up a feather tribe kingdom and return it to Calradia?"

"It's very likely!" said the gray-bearded dwarf. "Don't forget that the Feather Tribe has a deep hatred for us and the elves. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"But even if they get the Feather Tribe, what will happen? Apart from annoying us and the Chambers of Commerce that were robbed by the Feather Tribe, they won't get any benefit, right? They are just a group of robbers who only know how to rob and have no civilization at all!"

"Does Fran think that the Feather Tribe can pose a threat to our invincible fleet? We can't completely eliminate the Feather Tribe because they are as annoying as locusts and will hide everywhere! Not because they are powerful!"

"Yeah! Could it be that Fran wants to equip them with those ridiculous muskets? Those small bullets may be okay for hitting people, but when they hit the thick deck of our battleship... that's a joke!"

The dwarves laughed.

"Okay!" said the dwarf with the gray beard, "I don't care what Fran wants to do with these Feather Tribes! Since her direction is so firm, it means that there are Feather Tribes people to guide her. In this case, we can take advantage of this...

"Use her to show us the way, to find the exact location of this Feather Kingdom, and then..."

The dwarves present immediately understood what the white-bearded dwarf meant, and cruel expressions appeared on their faces.

"The Feather Tribe has become rampant again recently, and it is indeed time to massacre them a few times." The dwarf with a gray beard said, "As for the merit of massacring the Feather Tribe and maintaining order in the Endless Sea, I think it would be better to give it to our Lord of Fulan."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"The Prime Minister is absolutely right when he beats people!"

Chapter 234 Vienna Currency

After seeing off the fleet, Fran stayed in Biesund Port and did not rush to Minsk again.

Everything is in good order in Minsk now, and there is no need for me to take charge.

Although Goronil looks unreliable on the surface, with the help of her teacher, she has grown very fast and is now able to handle such a large construction project. In addition, European Railway Bureau II has trained so many engineers and management talents. As long as Goronil does not have a sudden whim to create a miracle, everything will be fine.

Galanodir's plan was also progressing steadily. A large number of laborers who had left their homes were enlightened by Galanodir and gradually realized the nature of the upper elves' exploitation. The reason why they did not show their fangs before was not because they were kind, but because they did not have the opportunity for the time being. Once they had the need, they would tear and chew the lower-class elves without hesitation, just like now.

The union's momentum of development was very rapid, and it felt like a wildfire. However, under the control of Galanodil, the union did not have fierce conflicts with the foreman and the East Coast managers, so the upper elves turned a blind eye to them.

After all, the union had no military power so far. In the eyes of the people, it was just a troublemaker organization. Since its existence was conducive to the stability of the East Coast, let it continue to exist. When the construction of the Twelve King Cities was completed, it would not be too late to settle the score.

However, what they did not expect was that after arriving in Gondolin, the members of these unions would not only do purchasing on behalf of others, but would also receive military training from Instructor Aurora, teaching them how to use muskets and artillery, organize formations, and even provide them with small guns and ammunition.

These weapons certainly cannot challenge the powerful elven guards and numerous divine magicians, but with them, at least they can easily identify the planted spies and threaten the ruthless foremen! And with these weapons, the trade unions have also spontaneously organized labor pickets to protect the most basic rights of the workers with the lowest intensity.

The entire east bank of the Soul-Guiding River continued to be built in a strange balance. No one knew whether a conflict would break out in the future, and what kind of conflict would break out.

But at least, it's peaceful now.

I just don’t know how this bubble of peace will be burst.

Of course, this is not what Fran cares about now!

At this time, Fran was enjoying the sea breeze from the endless sea and all kinds of desserts with plenty of sugar! She ate a lot every day and gained a lot of weight without realizing it. But Fran was not worried because her sister would help her at night to burn off the weight and calories in the form of sweat.

The few days of rest in Biesund Harbor can be said to be the most leisurely days for Fran since she came to this world. She had no worries about food and clothing, and she could discuss battle experiences with her sister at night. As the two of them became more skilled in fighting skills and became closer, Fran's strength rose to the seventh level without her noticing.

This is thanks to the dark elf leader Naranissoyah. It's just a pity that after giving shock therapy to the eight major families, Naranissoyah disappeared with her confidants, and no one knows where she went. Most of the dark elves she left behind became excellent textile workers, contributing to the construction of Orila City.

Of course, Fran was not enjoying herself all the time! Besides that, she and Christina went on a secret visit to experience the changes in Biesund Port firsthand.

Among all these, the change that most excites Fran is probably the currency!

Our own currency has finally taken another step forward.
