Chapter 735 Tribal Chief

The political structure of Midsummer Archipelago is somewhat peculiar. Although the archipelago has a large area and a small population, it has not formed the form of a nation or country.

Valano Island, Obenlu Island, and Zal Island are all full of tribes in the primary form of civilization. They do not agree with each other. Instead, they fight each other and have an unforgettable hatred.

This ethnic form has some similarities to the Dothraki, but the Dothraki have been unified several times in history, including the strong unification of a Mengo Kao who was born out of nowhere. Although the Dothraki iron hoof was broken on the road to the east, it should not be underestimated.

The tribes of the Midsummer Archipelago have never been unified. The largest tribe on the archipelago is on Valano Island. They have a large population and the strongest comprehensive strength. They also control the largest town on the island.

The name here is Lotus Port, which is nominally the capital of the Midsummer Islands well-known to outsiders, but in fact, the locals here do not regard Lotus Port as their capital, but only for tribes to exchange materials and choose to come here when trading. Take place at Lotus Harbor, where rival tribes are forbidden to clash.

There are two other towns on the island of Valano, and finally the town of Elegy and the town of Talltree. Valano is the most populous main island in the entire Midsummer Archipelago, followed by Zale and Obenlu.

The fleet led by Asha Greyjoy was docked on Zal Island. Zal Island also has two major indigenous tribes, one is the Red Flower Valley Tribe and the other is the Sweet Lotus Valley Tribe.

There are many scattered small tribes under them, but the weak strength is not worth mentioning. These small tribes must be attached to the big tribes to survive.

Because the two tribes occupy the two largest Vale resources on the island, located at the east and west ends of Zal Island, the Safflower Valley tribe is located in the east of the island, and the Sweet Lotus Valley tribe is located in the west of the island.

And Asha Greyjoy and her fleet came to the territory of the Safflower Valley Tribe.

This group of aboriginals had dark and shiny skin, murmured in a local language they did not understand, and wore bright feathered cloaks.

Among them, the higher the status and status in the tribe, the more colorful the feather cloaks are, while the lower status soldiers are even naked, just with a feather on their head and a spear or a spear in their hand. Is carrying a bow and arrow.

However, they were a little nervous when they saw the foreign fleet and soldiers, but they were not too panicked, because the Midsummer Archipelago is not a completely closed island country, and many tribes do business with the outside world. go through.

At the same time, pirates often visit here, but they have never seen a large-tonnage ship like the Imperial Fleet, with neat military appearance and majestic soldiers.

The aboriginals of the Red Flower Valley Tribe formed a loose formation with spears in their hands. And the soldiers in the fleet.

And Asha Greyjoy was wearing fine lady soft armor and a black cloak standing on the bow, with a long sword hanging from her waist.

"Go, get off the boat."

The sea breeze blew the hair on her forehead. She looked at the indigenous tribes lined up below, then took a deep breath, turned her head and glanced at the soldiers around her, and then led a few soldiers from the fleet away from the boat. down.

On the other side, seeing someone walking down the fleet, there was some confusion in the formation of the Red Flower Valley Tribe.

Then a gray-haired tribal chief, leaning on a cane and wearing a cloak of gorgeous bright feathers, also walked over with an interpreter.

He came to Asha Greyjoy, first put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and said something he couldn't understand.

The dark-skinned young translator next to the old chief was a little nervous, and after the old man finished speaking, the translator hurriedly asked Asha Grey in a broken Valyrian language and a very respectful address. Joey, and the purpose of the army she was carrying.

High Valyrian is the most popular lingua franca in the Summer Sea and the surrounding area, because it used to be a small country, city-state and tribe within the radiant range of the fortress of freedom, and everyone was influenced by Valyrian. .

It's just that the dragon kings of Valyria didn't take a fancy to this land, so they didn't capture and transform them, so the Midsummer Islands still maintain their original appearance.

Asha has also mastered some Valyrian languages ​​that can be communicated normally after such a long period of travel. The misunderstanding was resolved after communication between the two, and soon the tribal chief's face became tense. Emotions disappeared.

It's just that there was still some uncertainty in his eyes, because he didn't expect the other party to claim to be the fleet of the Valyrian Empire.

"The bastion of freedom has been re-established in the West?"

Although the Liberty Fortress did not occupy this land, it still had a profound impact on the aborigines on the island.

After all, they have such a powerful neighbor next to them, and the huge empire is like a mountain that makes the indigenous chiefs of the Midsummer Islands breathless.

However, in the end, the fortress of freedom seemed to have suffered the wrath of the gods, and suddenly collapsed overnight. The tsunami triggered that night also hit the Midsummer Islands, causing tragic casualties and leaving a deep memory for this group of indigenous people, but The mountain that was pressing on their heads also disappeared.

After all, after the collapse of Valyria, there were no powerful "near neighbors" around the Midsummer Islands, and no one would pay such a high price to travel so far to invade them.

However, I did not expect that after hundreds of years, another fleet calling itself the Valyrian Empire came to the Midsummer Islands.

Then the chief of the Safflower Valley tribe murmured for a long time, and the translator repeated his words.

It was not that the tribal chief had not heard the name of Westeros and the Iron Throne;

However, Westeros is too far away for them. In the eyes of the Midsummer Islands, Westeros is an island that is a little bigger than the Midsummer Islands, perhaps as big as the Valyria Peninsula.

After all, Valyria is already the end of the world for them, and the local natives may not be able to run far in their lifetime.

The old chief of the Safflower Valley tribe mentioned a name to Asha, Jaraba Thor.
