Less than a hundred Chiseltooth Barbarians were able to escape back to the camp, but before they could react, the coalition forces, which were mainly humans, had already arrived and easily entered.

The battle was completely over within an hour. This group of chisel-toothed barbarians were extremely poor. Apart from the battle drops, there was no loot worth distributing. The biggest gain was the rescue of dozens of various people who were imprisoned as food reserves. clan members.

In the rough stronghold of the Chiseled Barbarians, the leaders and senior officials of various tribes gathered in the spacious main hall and communicated happily. Xiang Ningxuan sat in the center without hesitation, smiling and greeting each foreigner who came up to greet them.

At this time, Zhu Yangzhen came in with several trays containing heads. The trays contained the heads of chisel-toothed barbarian leaders, generals, great wizards and other high-ranking officials. The stench was overwhelming.

The delicate flower demon leader wrinkled his nose and exclaimed: "Oh, why did you bring these ugly things up?"

Xiang Ningxuan put away his smile and said solemnly: "Pay homage to the souls of the dead! Don't you feel it? There are a large number of souls killed by these barbarians here wailing and screaming, and they cannot be liberated. Among them are your tribe."

When he said this, the foreigners suddenly felt a chill on the back of their necks, as if there were really dead souls wailing.

Of course, the real situation was not as serious as Xiang Ningxuan said, and he did not explain it. He had done this ritual of paying homage to the souls of the dead several times, and he was very familiar with the process. He just asked those high-ranking foreigners to follow it.

Recruiting these foreign races is only the first step, what is more important is how to assimilate them in the future. As the saying goes, "the most important thing for the country is to sacrifice and fight." If you want them to identify with this country, the easiest way is to sacrifice together and fight side by side.

Although they didn't exert much force just now, they were fighting side by side after all. The next step was to perform a sacrifice according to human etiquette.

Since everything was not complete, the sacrificial ceremony was relatively simple, but the solemn and solemn atmosphere was still strong.

Since being recognized by the soul of the ancestors, Xiang Ningxuan has gradually become proficient in this trick of pretending to be a ghost. Coupled with the strength and coercion of his epic hero, as well as the condensed soul power. The entire ritual process is an assimilation process. A foreign leader and high-ranking official has unknowingly accepted Chinese etiquette. After a period of subtle assimilation, these people who speak Chinese language, practice Chinese etiquette, and identify with this country in their hearts, even if they look different, who can tell them apart? Are you not Chinese?

After the sacrificial ceremony, there was the negotiation for these foreign races to formally join the Republic. In fact, there was nothing to talk about. In principle, there were no differences. There were only some specific territorial divisions that had not yet been agreed upon. Of course, these were left to the people in charge below. That's fine. As a leader, since there is no problem in principle, we can sign the agreement.

Xiang Ningxuan doesn't have the ability to find a soul contract. The agreement is just a piece of white paper. What's more, China's habit since ancient times is to emphasize commitments but not contracts. Sometimes, the covenant between two countries only requires a high-five to maintain. Apart from the illusory trustworthiness of a contract, the most practical thing is interests and power.

Why is it enough for some contracts to be sworn with high fives, while some contracts are still torn up even if they are signed in black and white? It is nothing more than uneven interests and imbalance of power. The interests here refer to not only actual monetary interests, but also intangible interests. credibility, reputation and other interests.

Of course, it also depends on the person. Scrooges like goblins only care about monetary interests, and all credibility and reputation are clouds. To sign any contract with them, you only need to hold on to the money.

This contract involves three races: Jinyu people, goblins and flower demons. Their systems, personalities, behavioral habits, etc. are completely different.

The Jinyu people are relatively honest; while the Scrooge Goblins will not dare to break the contract as long as they set the liquidated damages high.

Only flower demons have out-of-the-box personalities and do things based on their preferences. If they like you, they will treat you with all their heart. If they don't like you, they will fight you regardless of whether you have a contract or not.

Fortunately, Xiang Ningxuan is still very popular among the flower demons. After a little coaxing, they happily signed the contract.

The contract stipulates:

1. All signatory tribes recognize that they are part of the Republic and have the obligation to safeguard the unity and territorial integrity of the Republic. When a foreign enemy invades, they must respond to the call of the Republic and contribute money and effort to jointly resist the invaders.

.Humans and non-humans, all races are equal, united and mutually beneficial, and oppose racial discrimination. As the leader, Xiang Ningxuan must treat other races fairly and justly.

.The contracted tribes enjoy autonomy within the specified territory, but must abide by the Constitution of the Republic. Outside the autonomous region, they must abide by local laws and regulations.

4. Respect the customs, customs, culture and arts of each tribe.

There are many specific clauses, so I won’t list them one by one. In short, this contract was used as a template and was signed by all tribes under Xiang Ningxuan who could communicate and were willing to join the Republic. Since the signing place was adjacent to Zhenze,

This contract is also called the Zhenze Contract.

————

Since the Chiseltooth Barbarian's walled city was very primitive and not a place for people to live at all, Xiang Ningxuan led his troops to withdraw after the contract was signed.

Of course, the army of more than 5,000 people could not be withdrawn at once, but Chief of Staff Chu Xiongtian was responsible for this matter. Xiang Ningxuan, under the pretext that he still had to deal with government affairs, rushed back to the Hongye District Government with his elite group.

On the way, Ran Xiuji and Li Wuhen reported to him the inspection work in Jiangcheng District, and of course also mentioned the Immortal Sword mission.

Xiang Ningxuan is too lazy to do it. Now he has Yaizhen, a navy general, who is much easier to use than the dead thing like Xianling Island. What's more, he will be preparing for the battle against the Yuren next, so how can he have time to go there?

Play Fairy Sword Quest?

It was the group of people from the Demon City that Li Wuhen mentioned when he said goodbye that caught Xiang Ningxuan's attention. After all, the Demon City is adjacent to his jurisdiction. When the situation stabilizes, there will definitely be a lot of intersections.

Even after he pacifies Hongye District and Jiangcheng District, if the situation in the Magic City becomes unstable, he won't mind going there to reap some benefits.

According to what Li Wuhen learned from Feng Yiming, the situation in the Magic City was not very good. The main reason was the lack of a leader like Rong Zheng.

As the most dynamic international metropolis in the Republic, the biggest characteristic of the Magic City is that it is a mixture of fish and dragons, and various forces are intertwined. Before the end of the world, the order of the Republic was still very stable, and there would be no major chaos in the Magic City.

However, the doomsday crisis destroyed the order of the Magic City, and various forces took advantage of the situation to separatist forces. There were several large forces, and there were also many small and medium-sized forces trying to fish in troubled waters. Before the human forces were stable, they began to scheming with each other.

Li Wuhen's situation was similar to when he left the city and returned to his hometown. Xiang Ningxuan couldn't say anything to persuade him to stay, so he could only help him have a smooth journey. What's more, Li Wuhen could also be used as an outpost to go to the magic city to find out the situation first.

So, Xiang Ningxuan took out a ball as big as an egg and said to Li Wuhen: "This is the arcane positioning device newly developed by the Taichu Chaos Laboratory. If you need help, smash it and quickly say a message, information and coordinates."

It will be transmitted to the host. We can send someone to respond."
