Canosha was not familiar with the people here, so she followed Renn silently, observing everything in the base.
When she saw this "strange-shaped" mechanical wreckage with her own eyes, she finally believed that the "Flying Mechanical City" mentioned by Ren, which was almost a fantasy before, really existed.
Now that she saw this behemoth, she immediately realized that if this "new city" was built, it would probably surprise everyone in the future.
The overall structure of the wreckage in front of me is not particularly seriously damaged, and it may still be repairable...
When the time comes, a mechanical city flying in the sky will definitely shock everyone's jaws. Even the [City of Destruction], which is known as the top technological machinery city in Oma, cannot compare to it!
But she didn't guess that Tust had no intention of repairing it at all, but had other plans!
Moreover, Canosha once again refreshed his assessment of the strength of the Kalman clan as an "indirect ally".
In addition to the top powerhouse such as the great witch Ji Mafa, there are now a series of "legendary level" elders. With the addition of Bazel, there are now four "legendary" masters present.
This is a top-notch combat power that no city can possess.
Moreover, not only high-end combat power, but also mid- to high-level combat power should not be underestimated.
She also discovered that the more than 7,000 Coleman soldiers in front of her were all in their prime, at the peak of their integrity. Equipped with their respective Warcraft mounts, seven thousand of them are worth tens of thousands of the most elite Royal Guards of the two empires. Fighting in the wild may be even worse!
Canosha also thought that the fighting power of the eldest princess Ymir would definitely not be bad. At least she had heard that Baron Askpa, the "traitor general" of the First Royal Mechanical Legion of Oma [Storm General], came to Alcoron with nearly 10,000 elite mechanical knights and the best equipment. This side of the mountains.
These two forces merge into one, which is enough to gain a foothold no matter where it is!
... ...
When a group of people entered the Machinery City, Renn immediately sensed a problem.
Obviously, the construction of a territory does not simply bring everyone together.
The differences between the two civilizations will cause people on both sides to have an instinctive reaction of "exclusion" in a short period of time. This is not a contradiction, but an objective factor. But if it is not handled well, it will gradually become a hidden danger in the future.
The eldest princess Ymir's troops arrived a little later than the Colemans, but tens of thousands of people came in force, including craftsmen, mechanical legions, and many talents in various fields of construction of the territory.
These were the direct descendants she had selected from the territory that Emperor Oma had been entrusted to.
Now, a row of people representing the eldest princess occupied half of the mechanical city. The Coleman tribe and their Warcraft mounts accounted for the other half.
The two sides have clear distinctions and complement each other.
The most obvious difference is housing!
Because the Mechanical City is still under construction, everyone's housing in the city is temporarily constructed.
Oma is more civilized and has brought many dismantling steel structure houses, making it easy to build rows of standardized and beautiful houses.
The Coleman tribe was used to living in the forest, and they were a little uncomfortable being confined to a small steel city for a while. Their houses are very simple, still made of stone, soil, and thatch...
On one side is a finely decorated room and on the other side is a straw shed. The difference seems huge.
This is the difference between the civilizations of the two eras.
No one from the Imperial Capital of Omar understands the Colemans. In their impression, these guys wearing animal skins are uncivilized "savages" and there is no room for communication.
And the Coleman people didn't trust these guys who obviously had strange feelings towards them.
And because of the language barrier, the "exclusive" sentiment becomes more and more intense.
If it weren't for the dangerous living environment, they must unite and join the city defense together.
If Renn hadn't explained it before...
If it weren't for Ymir and the two elders mediating...
It is estimated that the two forces have already started fighting.
The Kalman people trusted Ren, but they couldn't trust those in Ymir.
Similarly, Ymir trusted Ren, but did not understand Coleman and others at all, and did not dare to be too careless.
The people of Oma understand that it is absolutely impossible for them to gain a foothold in this high-level "earth dragon"-filled basin; and the Coleman people also know that without the mechanical city and those large-caliber artillery, their flesh and blood bodies will definitely be able to stop them. The black tide and monsters can't stop the siege.
So the two parties have gotten along until now in an awkward but forced state of cooperation.
... ...
The elders are not suitable to come forward to negotiate with Ren in person.
In addition to seniority, it is also because they do not understand territory construction, so it is unnecessary to ask for advice. Even if they didn't mind, Ren couldn't afford it.
Therefore, it was Udo, the personal secretary, who was always communicating with Ren.
As they walked, Udo introduced everyone's recent situation.
"What the tribesmen and elders mean is that everyone can trust you, but not the princess of Oma. If she is the lord, we Coleman warriors will never let outsiders rule us. But if it is Lei Dr. En, we think it's okay for you to be the lord. So, this is roughly the situation."
Udo introduced the general situation, and Ren finally understood what trouble Canosha was talking about before.
Even though, they had no intention of building a private property in the first place.
But the issue of unity and integration will still exist for a long time.
Thinking about it, he asked Canossa next to him: "Madam, is this the problem you mentioned?"
Although Canosha couldn't understand Coleman, she guessed what happened and said, "Yes, one of them. But once this problem is solved, many other problems will be solved."
Ren was troubled by this problem. He couldn't think of a good way to solve it so that everyone could get along harmoniously. He then asked, "Madam, since you have foreseen this problem a long time ago, is there any good way to deal with this situation?"
Canossa raised her eyebrows and said, "It's easy to do it, that is, you become the city lord."
Before Ren could say anything.
She made another shocking statement and said: "Then, if you marry the eldest princess again, all problems will disappear."
After a pause, she added: "Oh! It's best to marry a girl from the Coleman tribe... In this way, the relationship between the eldest princess and the Coleman tribe will quickly become harmonious."
"..."
Hearing this, Ren glanced at her, his forehead twitched sharply, and then showed a dumbfounded expression, "Madam, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious."
Canosha said sternly: "Don't look at me with that look. Let me tell you... Since ancient times, marriage has been the best way to solve the conflicts between civilizations. There is no one!"
Listening to this unrealistic proposal, Ren rubbed his eyebrows and complained: "Then my alliance with your 'Black Gold Merchant Guild' also needs to be consolidated. Should I also marry one?"
Canossa blinked, with a joking smile in her eyes, and asked: "The president of the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce' has an only daughter. Do you really want to marry her?"
"..."
Ren didn't respond to her, and he probably would be flirted with again.
At this time, the joking on Canosha's face disappeared, and a serious look appeared on her face, saying: "Besides, our covenant is based on you being the lord. Therefore, I also think that you being the lord is the best choice."
There are no private lords in this city, this is stipulated in the contract.
Renn felt a little headache.
At this time, an inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a compromise, "Hey... I seem to have thought of a solution."
... ...
When a territory is first established, everything is difficult.
Obviously, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also having a headache with this situation.
Her philosophy is equality and tolerance. If she chooses to eliminate these factors because she cannot live in harmony for the time being, this is absolutely contrary to her philosophy.
Besides, she had to admit that the Colemans were born warriors. Without the desperate fighting of the warriors and the ability of the priests to communicate with nature, this new city would not have been established in the Kalatwa Basin.
Ymir also knows that the root of the current predicament lies in the bond of Ren.
It just so happened that she also wanted to take Grandmaster Pierre, the "Mechanical Master" she brought from the Imperial Capital of Omar, to talk to Ren about the design and planning of the Mechanical City.
Because the contract states that the ownership of Machinery City is half on one side.
Therefore, the simple Coleman people also helped Ren "occupy" his half.
It is impossible to force the Coleman tribe to give up half of the occupied mechanical city, and Ymir will not do anything that affects unity;
But if it continues like this, it will definitely delay the construction progress of the Machinery City.
Moreover, even though she was the eldest princess, she still had to take care of some of Grandmaster Pierre's feelings.
These are the top talents in the mechanical field, and they are treated like high-ranking nobles everywhere.
For him to risk his life and follow her to build a new territory in this barren place without wealth and status is enough to show his loyalty to the Spuglin royal family.
Now that Grandmaster Pierre heard that his "ally" had arrived, he came to discuss this issue again. Ymir thought, and just solved it all.
... ...
The majestic princess would naturally not condescend to greet anyone outside the city in person.
But as allies, it is just right to "encounter" them in the city.
No, the eldest princess Ymir, along with Grandmaster Pierre and a group of mechanics, were inspecting the construction of the Machinery City. They happened to "encounter" Ren with his grandfather and grandson Tust, who came for the same purpose.
Ren looked at the eldest princess, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and stepped forward to say hello: "Long time no see, the eldest princess is with your highness."
Do as the Romans do and give a kiss on the hand.
Ymir naturally stretched out his hand, with a slight smile on his face: "Mr. Renn, long time no see."
In her own territory, she did not wear a mask.
Therefore, everyone on the side naturally saw a smile on Ymir's frosty face, and they were all slightly surprised.
They had long heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess had a very special ally, and the person in charge of the Colemans seemed to be a guy named "Ren Hermes".
They once guessed that he would be a calm middle-aged man, or an old man.
But seeing the young Ren in front of them, who was a bit beyond their expectations, they were also slightly surprised.
What's even more surprising is the eldest princess's attitude towards him... It seems that the relationship between the two is not simple!
Ymir added: "Mr. Renn, there is such a big commotion outside, and seeing you return safely is the best news I have heard recently."
Renn: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Fortunately, Your Highness has built the Machinery City. Otherwise, when the [Black Tide] comes, we won't even have a place to stay, and everything will be in vain."
In front of everyone, the two of them didn't reminisce about old times, and just exchanged a few polite words in a business-like manner.
Next, Ren was about to get down to business, but Ymir apologized slightly and spoke first: "Although you should have a good rest after returning from a long journey, we happened to encounter some territory construction matters and wanted to discuss it with you."
"oh?"
When Ren heard this, he waited patiently for the rest.
Ymir said: "Now that the west of the Alcoron Mountains is affected by the [Black Tide], the living environment has become very harsh, but it is also an excellent opportunity for our territory..."
Obviously, what Ren can think of, the eldest princess can also think of.
But if you want to develop, city construction is the first step.
At this time, she continued: "Recently, large-scale zombies and monsters have been invading the base almost every day. Therefore, in order to prevent our efforts from being in vain, I would like to discuss with you a plan to speed up the construction of the Mechanical City. , let it operate as soon as possible. Only in this way will we have a certain ability to protect ourselves when encountering a big crisis in the future."
After listening to this, Ren suddenly realized that the two of them wanted to go together, and nodded: "Yes, I think so too."
He said, looking at the people following Ymir.
Oma's official mechanics like to wear some monocles, which are gentlemanly and practical. It will also be equipped with some auxiliary robotic arms and wear a mechanic's robe with many pockets sewn on it.
Just like the white coat of the doctor's profession, it is highly recognizable.
Obviously, these people in front of me are all mechanics.
Judging from that proud expression, his professional level is probably not low.
Ymir has already raised the topic, so there is no need for her to say next, "Well... I don't know much about things in the mechanical field, so I'd better let professionals talk about it."
As she spoke, she solemnly introduced an old man with a goatee behind her and said, "This is the honorary elder of the Machinists Association, Mr. Pierre, the 'Master of Mechanics.'"
Ren listened to the introduction and asked politely: "Hello, Grandmaster Pierre."
The grandmaster nodded, not showing much contempt because of Renne's youth, "Hello, Mr. Renne."
After a pause, Pierre said directly without being polite: "I also understand the covenant between you and Her Royal Highness the Princess. But now there is another matter that we urgently need Mr. Lane to help us solve..."
Ren vaguely guessed something, "I'd like to hear the details."
Pierre also spoke very politely, "I have some experience in the design of mechanical cities. Therefore, I plan to repair the wreckage of this mechanical airship. Maybe it can fly again... But, this process requires you Cooperation with those Coleman tribesmen. I need..."
He made his purpose clear, just to stop the "laymen" from getting involved blindly and to let the Machinery City out.
Out of politeness and solidarity, Ren fully respected the mechanical master and listened quietly.
"Thank you, Grandmaster Pierre. Without your hard work, this base would not have been built so quickly..."
After a pause, Ren said: "Um... Grandmaster Pierre, no offense intended. I actually have plans for this mechanical city... "
He said, looked at everyone, and then gestured to Ymir,
Then he introduced Mr. Tust next to him with the same solemnity, saying: "This is Mr. Tust Fuentes... the master of mechanics!"
For the first time, he brought this top man in the mechanical field who had been hiding in the city to the world.
