After learning that the britannians had declared war on the 32 tribes of shanman, 27 have chosen to surrender and 2 have chosen to fight tenaciously. So far, three have not said whether they want to surrender or resist.

The two tribes that choose to fight tenaciously happen to be the two most powerful tribes: Helai and Koran.

The three tribes that have not yet stated their position are the Lago department, the Ziko department and the MAHO department.

Vivian's task this time is to lobby the three tribes that have not yet expressed their position, persuade the chiefs of the three tribes, make the three tribes obediently choose to surrender, further reduce shanman's combat power and reduce the pressure of Deng Jiaer's attack on the mountain.

The first stop of the lobbying task, that is, Vivian's first goal, is Qike department.

The chieftain of Qike department had received the news that britannian messengers came to their tribe early, so he was ready to meet Vivian and others early.

Vivian didn't come alone with Samuel.

They were accompanied by 24 elite soldiers.

The 24 elite soldiers are also responsible for protecting Vivian like Samuel.

No one can guarantee that Vivian's lobbying task can be successfully and smoothly completed. After all, Vivian is Deng Jiaer's sister. Su Cheng will not let Vivian fall into too dangerous situation.

In order to ensure Vivian's safety and minimize the risk of negotiation breakdown, Su Cheng transferred Samuel, the most capable and idle general under his command, to serve as the escort of Vivian's trip.

In addition to transferring Samuel, Su Cheng also selected 24 elite soldiers from the fortress as Vivian's escort.

Therefore, the total number of envoys lobbying shanman this time, including Vivian, is 26.

After arriving at the gate of the Qike department, Vivian saw a group of Qike people standing outside the door to meet them.

When the leader saw Vivian, he immediately greeted her with a smile and said in the worst britannian language:

"Hello, your excellency, I am Ruda, the patriarch of Qike department."

As soon as Ruda's greetings fell, Vivian turned her mouth slightly, showed a decent and warm smile, and said in very fluent and standard Lake language:

"It's a pleasure to meet you. The next officer is Vivian O'Brien, an envoy of the British Empire. I'm a little confident in my lake language, so I don't need to talk to me in Britannia. I just need to use lake language. It's more convenient. "

Seeing Vivian speak Lake language, no matter Ruda, the patriarch of Qike department, or Samuel and others standing behind Vivian, they all show surprise and surprise.

"I didn't expect you to understand the language of our lake people..." Ruda looked at the petite girl standing in front of him with a surprised look on her face. "Ah, sorry, I'm patronizing to speak. Your Excellency, envoy, please come in and welcome to our Qike department!"

After that, Ruda leaned slightly, and then made a "please" action towards Vivian and others.

Vivian smiled at him, nodded in response, and then walked towards Qike department.

In addition to Vivian, all the other 25 people are tall and majestic, with a long sword hanging around their waist.

When they entered the Qike department, they attracted the attention of many people in the tribe.

Looking at the long swords on the waist of the 25 guards led by Samuel and their tall and strong figure (Samuel's figure is slightly worse than the other 24 guards behind him, and Samuel's figure is longer), the soldiers in Qike Department couldn't help swallowing saliva to ease the tension and some fear in their hearts.

After entering Ziko department, Samuel could not help frowning and holding his breath.

Not only Samuel, but also the other 24 guards behind him, like Samuel, frowned and held their breath after entering Qike department and smelling the smell in Qike department.

Because ziko Department stinks.

Just now, when standing outside the door of Ziko department, Samuel and others had smelled the smell.

This is the smell of stool.

Shit is everywhere on the ground in Chico.

Dog's stool, chicken's stool, cow's stool, human's stool

Because there are so many stools on the ground, Samuel and others have to look at the ground all the time to avoid stepping on anything unclean later.

Although it has long been heard that shanman is a group of barbarians who are still in the tribal period and live a primitive life, Samuel did not expect that shanman's life would be so savage and primitive.

Although their cities before the British Empire were so smelly, because people used to like to dump excreta everywhere, especially in alleys.

So you can always see a mountain of feces in the alley.

But these were hundreds of years ago.

After the productivity was improved, people began to awaken their health awareness, and the imperial government began to strictly control these unsanitary behaviors of dumping feces at will, the health situation in the imperial cities immediately began to improve and improve rapidly.

Nowadays, you can hardly smell any bad smell in any city of the British Empire, and you won't see any fecal mountain in the alley.

Every city has a fixed concentration point of excreta.

After people concentrate their excreta here, the government will have special personnel to deal with them.

The treatment of these wastes is usually made into agricultural fertilizer or directly transported to a place outside the city and away from the water source for landfill.

In addition, public toilets were built in all cities of the Empire to provide convenient places for pedestrians on the road, instead of finding some uninhabited corners as hundreds of years ago.

With the promotion of the imperial government, the current rural health situation in the British Empire has continued to improve.

Samuel, who has been used to a civilized and hygienic life, is really hard to imagine that there are still people living such a life of throwing feces everywhere.

Samuel, who was almost out of breath by the smell of Qike department and his eyes were sour, could not help but aggravate his contempt for shanman.

At the same time, I admire Vivian more.

Because Samuel noticed that there was no change in Vivian's face and expression after entering Zike department and smelling the pungent smell.

There was still a faint smile on his face.

Samuel could not help but look at Vivian walking in front of him with shock and admiration, and said in his heart:

——Does Miss Vivian have no sense of smell
