Chapter 322: The Odin people will never surrender unless they are provided with food and shelter!

Time will always gradually smooth out the traces of the past, and history is always written by the victors.

Before anyone knew it, more than a month had passed since the demise of the Pachiniya tribe. The nomadic tribe that had lived and multiplied on this land for decades had disappeared from this world forever, without causing a ripple in the peaceful Eastern Highlands.

No matter who is missing, life must go on.

so……

East of the Hobbs River and in the southwest corner of the Eastern Highlands, the Hobbs Port Concession established by the Idar people replaced the original Pachiniya tribe and became a brand new force in the Eastern Highlands.

In fact, scenes like the destruction of tribes and the annexation of tribes happen every year on this land.

However, the plot this time is slightly different...

The time was a little shorter, only one night.

The newly rising power was no longer the nomadic tribes living on this land, but the Idar people from the south.

The Idar people possess great strength, which is a consensus reached long ago by the nomadic tribes in the eastern highlands.

After the Pachiniya tribe was wiped out, no one dared to question the legitimacy of the Treaty of Valens, and no one would stop the Idar people from digging for minerals.

Therefore, under the protection of Idar's soldiers, the exploration team led by Good Knight began to explore the mineral veins again.

However, this exploration did not last long, because after Good Knight explored two marked locations in succession, he found traces of mineral veins.

He did not continue the exploration, but returned to Port Hobbs as soon as possible to report the news to Mal Karen.

It’s still the same old problem: lack of staff.

Unlike the abundant labor resources in the Principality of Idar, the Idar people have extremely limited manpower in this land because they are new here.

Apart from the soldiers, there were only a very limited number of civilian craftsmen, and all of them were devoted to the construction of Port Hobbs.

Even if other mineral veins were discovered at this time, the Principality of Idar did not have enough manpower to dig them. It would be better to stop the exploration to avoid providing a wedding dress for the nomadic tribes living on this land.

It is unrealistic to transport people to this land by shipload. The Principality of Idar is also carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction. The ships that can sail on the sea are always filled with various supplies, and there is no room for people.

In order to solve this problem, Mal Karen naturally turned his attention to the Odin people.

During this month or so, the Odin people's ability to work has been fully tested.

Regardless of gender, age or status, all the captives from the Pachiniya tribe were sent to the mines by Mal Karen to mine.

He even followed suit and organized these Odin slaves into dozens of production teams, continuing to use the work point system commonly used in the Principality of Idar to stimulate the labor enthusiasm of these Odin slaves.

It was also in these Odin slaves that Mal Karen seemed to see the source of labor for Hobbs Port for a long time to come.

Since the Idar people are useless, why not recruit the Odin civilians living in this land!

Odin men are all big and strong men. Although their intelligence level is questionable, they are definitely good at working hard. Odin women are all violent and fierce women. Not only are they big and strong, but they can also do the job of two people.

In Mal Kalu's opinion, this is simply a natural coolie template!

And as time goes by, the Odin people living on this land have gradually accepted the existence of the Idar people.

Because this Idar Concession in Hobbs Harbor provided great convenience for the survival of the Odin tribe! It was difficult for the Odin tribe located in the eastern highlands to be self-sufficient. They needed to buy cavalry, wine, and some food from the outside world.

Before this, the Odin people could only trade with passing merchants in exchange for the necessities of life.

However, the time intervals between the arrival of these merchants and their round-trip routes were uncertain, which forced the Odin people living on this land to stockpile large amounts of supplies, and even caused conflicts and looting between tribes.

Now, the establishment of Hobbs Port provides the Odin people with a brand new trading location and channel.

The Idar people's concession is right there. Unlike a caravan that would slip away at any time, the ships traveling between the Principality of Idar and the Port of Hobbs would bring in large quantities of daily necessities and goods by sea every few days.

Although the construction of Hobbs Port has just begun, trade with the Odin people has already begun.

Because this not only makes the Idar people earn money, but also greatly facilitates the lives of these Odin tribes, so... in the eyes of these Odin tribes, the Idar people do not seem so hateful.

This also provided Mal Karen with an opportunity to recruit miners.

"Helping, hiring!"

"The Idar mine is recruiting miners! Not only will we provide food and accommodation, but we will also pay you on time!"

After Mal Karen made up his mind, Idar soldiers began to shout loudly near the market that had just formed in Hobbs Port.

There is no way. There is definitely no such thing as an announcement. Per capita prenatal education is the current situation of the entire Odin Empire.

Even among the high-ranking generals of the Odin Empire, there were many who did not know how to spell, not to mention the lower-class Odin people who came to purchase supplies.

But it’s true, the conditions offered by the Idar people are actually quite tempting.

Although those nomadic tribes have large flocks of sheep and cattle, those wealth belong to the tribal chiefs and a few tribal leaders, and have nothing to do with ordinary tribal members.

These ordinary tribal members, like the lower-class people of the Norman Empire, often suffered from hunger, and their living conditions were even worse than those of the civilians of the Norman Empire.

Therefore, the words "free food and accommodation" almost hit the most vulnerable part of the hearts of these Odin civilians.

The Odin people will never surrender unless they are provided with food and shelter!

You know, compared with the agricultural economy of the Norman Empire, the nomadic economy of the Odin Empire is actually more fragile.

The characteristics of nomadic economy are instability and lack of sustainability, and tribes need to migrate constantly.

This characteristic of the nomadic economy is actually one of the reasons why the Odin Empire continued to move southward to plunder.

If life wasn't really that difficult, who would be willing to rush to the battlefield?

Now, although the demise of the Pachiniya tribe is still a hurdle that many Odinians cannot get over, but... free food and accommodation really sounds good! 　And...
