"Originally, I had no intention to interfere with your lives on the grassland, but unfortunately, that Queen did not give the chance to leave peacefully."
"Tonight's turmoil and fire were sparked by the conflict between your Wolf Blood Species and Butterfly Species, it is a matter between your two sides, you can resolve it yourselves afterward."
"However, since I have stepped in this ti, I won't leave without caring."
"I hope that today, here in front of , you can make an agreent." Tilan's voice was still ethereal, at this mont very clearly ringing in the minds of everyone present, bringing them a shock.
Could this be an upper species of so newborn race, or perhaps a royals' preselection? In most newborn races, only upper species have such powerful ntal communication abilities.
"What I hope for is at least establishing order in the grassland in the future, ensuring the smooth flow of trade routes, and allowing settlents to have wars, but prohibiting unnecessary slaughter. All unknown pillagers will be hunted by all settlents together."
Getting these folks out of the primitive tribal system and slavery is not sothing that can be done overnight, but at least getting production started, having alternatives, and normal ans of living can gradually reduce overly barbaric bloody behaviors.
"Additionally, each settlent must contribute a portion of their forces and manpower to form patrol cavalry to maintain order throughout the grassland, and the captain controlling these patrol cavalry will be replaced annually, voted out by candidates at the annual conference." This system isn't particularly complete, but at least from nothing to sothing, it's not complicated and difficult to implent.
In fact, this system isn't originally created by Tilan, it is actually a reference to the establishnt of the Beastn Empire in the First Era. Their model worked well in dealing with these primitive and nomadic tribes.
Initially, the crowd was sowhat confused while listening, but with Tilan's detailed explanations, a grand vision gradually ford in their minds.
This thod seems unexpectedly fitting and quite feasible.
The Wolf Blood Species lost their past superiority over other races, surely they are sowhat dissatisfied, but other species feel it's great because at least they won't face random pillaging encounters and can set so agreents and trades at the annual conference witnessed by all, without fearing being directly robbed by powerful settlents.
After a night of discussion and proposals, ultimately a covenant that all grassland settlents must abide by was set here.
"First, in March every year, the grassland will host a conference to discuss activities for the year and adjudicate various events."
"Second, during the conference, any tribal settlents are prohibited from pillaging or blocking others from reaching the conference location, violators will be punished collectively."
"Third, each settlent will allocate one percent of its mbers based on total population and strength to form patrol cavalry, their supplies and maintenance will be provided by all conference mbers."
"Fourth, during the conference, there will be non-fatal martial challenges, and the victor will beco the candidate for patrol cavalry captain."
"Fifth, caravans traversing the grassland must submit an application to the conference to obtain a passage certificate. If caravans holding a passage certificate go missing or die, the local patrol cavalry will be collectively punished."
"Sixth, disputes between settlents are prohibited from massacre and genocide, after the end of battles between settlents, both sides must notify nearby patrol cavalry for record."
"Seventh, during the annual conference, based on each settlent's population and contribution, allocate spots for trainees. With these spots, sending children and teenagers from their own settlent to the conference for a whole year of learning and training. Teachers will be those knowledgeable and powerful transcendents elected and selected from various settlents."
Too many regulations are feared difficult to enforce, these foolish folks might not rember them, so Tilan ultimately only set these seven articles. If these seven are fully executed, perhaps ten years later, the various settlents on the grassland will gradually form a common cognitive frawork. Combined with the fact that those children and teenagers are certainly excellent among their peers, many of them will inherit power and beco the core of each settlent, step by step civilizing and educating the entire settlent, gradually entering into a civilized society.
Finally, these seven combined are called the Stone Sword Covenant, and the conference venue is also designated as where Tilan inserted the Holy Sword.
At dawn, a huge upright stone Holy Sword rose slowly from the ground, towering, standing tall in the flat grassland like a beacon torch. Surrounding this giant stone-ford Holy Sword are seven encircling steles, engraved with the agreents made today, and the nas of each settlent and species behind, surprisingly, the Butterfly Species was also among them.
...
In the temporarily erected tent, a woman in purple bandaged on her body half sits up, leaning on the bedside, with two other Butterfly Species beside her aiding and tidying her disheveled hair.
Beside the bed, Tilan sat on a tall wooden chair, listening to the other party explain last night's actions and their experiences over the years.
"I am indeed not of the Butterfly Species, but I have deep ties to them." The other party coughed briefly, then continued.
"My na is Alisa, and I lived in my childhood at the foot of distant snowy peaks, rarely visited by people, although it was difficult, there were no conflicts."
"The settlent at the foot of the mountain had only a dozen people, everyone was very close, in childhood despite not having much to eat, overall fortunate enough not to worry."
