After hearing Zhang Tie's opinion, everyone in the carriage felt relieved .
In this plan, besides the autonomous parliament in Ewentra Archipelago which enjoyed a great autonomy, the bear tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness also had a great autonomy . In this situation, even though Zhang Tie was coronated, he still didn't have too many rights on the internal affairs of bear tribes such as human transfer right, military power, property right and arbitration, except for that of the huge bear tribe and iron bear tribe . The power over major issues of bear tribes was still in the hand of tribe's heads and elders .
This was the bottom line for the fire bear tribe, sea bear tribe and wild bear tribe to support Zhang Tie .
Spencer Clan of the iron bear tribe had a neutral attitude while Elder Gouras of the huge bear tribe was a bit radical, who was unsatisfied with the three bear tribes' conservative opinions . However, Elder Gouras knew that it was already great for the three bear tribes to admit Zhang Tie's authority and have them support Slavs' great undertaking of unification . Without Peter and Peter's unusual battle force and marvels, the three bear tribes would never make such a compromise .
Peter Hamplester had been more like the great image of Lord of Slavs in the prophecy of the great prophet pontiff . Any person or tribe would face a great stress if they stood opposite to Peter Hamplester .
However, the fire bear tribe, sea bear tribe and wild bear tribe made the compromise on certain conditions . This plan of establishing a nation was actually built on an exchange . They would support Zhang Tie to be the supreme ruler of Ice and Snow Wilderness; Zhang Tie would support them to consolidate their ruling on their own tribes . In the frame of the unification of state and church, the heads of the three tribes requested Zhang Tie to bestow on them the title of the supreme priesthood of Ancient God Church in the territory of their own tribes . The knight elders of the three tribes would take this chance to join the "College of Elder Cardinals" . The position of "College of Elder Cardinals" was equal to the combination between the cabinet and the tribal joint meeting of the new country, which was entitled to interfere with the major affairs of the entire country . The three tribes actually expanded their tribes' influence and deepened the basis of their heads' power by this chance .
This was a bald exchange .
Only the huge bear tribe supported and trusted Zhang Tie completely . The powerful and mysterious knowledge left by prophet pontiff Elzida to the huge bear tribe was also requested to be integrated into the inheritance system of Ancient God Church by the huge bear tribe . From today on, all the priests across Ice and Snow Wilderness could only gain the mysterious knowledge from priests . The Ancient God Church which only had an inheritance in religious creed before would have an established powerful mysterious knowledge inheritance system now . This was an almost unnecessary step for all the powerful religions in Black Iron Age .
In this age, if the clergies of a religion couldn't master a powerful, unique mysterious knowledge, such a religion would be considered as a heresy or an informal religion, which could only be used to cheat others in small places . Being basically different than various battle-qi oriented mysterious knowledge and battle skills systems, religious mysterious knowledge inheritance system included various spiritual-energy oriented mysterious knowledge and skills . Higher requirements were posed on the inheritance in such mysterious knowledge and skills with the religious background than that in battle skills .
Compared to the complex situation on the side of Ice and Snow Wilderness, the situation facing Ewentra Archipelago was simpler . At this moment, the representatives of major clans in Ewentra Archipelago had no good card to play in front of Zhang Tie . They were only concerned about two aspects in the nation establishing plan, namely the tax rate and the social status of the private army in each clan in Ewentra Archipelago after establishing the nation .
With Zhang Tie's consent, the two aspects were finally fixed through Ms . Olina's intermediate communication .
In the future, Ewentra Archipelago's scot would be unified . Additionally, the upper limit of the scot in Ewentra Archipelago should not exceed 80% of the average scot across Ewentra Archipelago . Furthermore, the private army and fleet of each clan would be adapted to the mixed fleet of Ewentra Archipelago . The nature of the fleet belonged to local armed garrisons, whose expenditure would be paid by each major clan . Besides, the commander of each local armed garrison would be nominated by each major clan and appointed by the autonomous parliament of Ewentra Archipelago . Usually, these armed garrisons could only be dispatched and commanded by the autonomous parliament of Ewentra Archipelago . During the wartime, especially when Ewentra Archipelago was invaded by demons, these armed garrisons would accept Zhang Tie's unified command .
Compared to the bear tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness, the major clans in Ewentra Archipelago knew their own limitations . They knew that they were not qualified to pose any request about Ancient God Church to Zhang Tie .
The full name of the new nation was Sacred Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago United Kingdom, briefly, Sacred Iceland Kingdom . Ancient God Church would become the national religion of Sacred Iceland Kingdom . The pope of Ancient God Church and the King of the kingdom would be unified into a wholly new name tsar, which represented the inheritance of the bloodline of the ancient god and the supreme ruler of Slavs .
Zhang Tie would become the first tsar of Slavs in Black Iron Age and rule the entire Sacred Iceland Kingdom and Ancient God Church .
These were the outlines and general contents of the plan . More details about the system would be further improved after Zhang Tie was coronated . Additionally, as of now, Zhang Tie hadn't posed the concrete division of priesthood in the Ancient God Church . As Ancient God Church was founded by Zhang Tie, only Zhang Tie could determine the division of priesthood inside the church .
After Zhang Tie replied "I agree", the heads and elders of fire bear tribe, sea bear tribe and wild bear tribe actually were a bit shocked as they thought that Zhang Tie would make some limitations on the autonomy of the three bear tribes in the plan . They had negotiated privately . If Zhang Tie was really dissatisfied with the plan, the three tribes could actually make some compromise on some aspect .
Nobody had imagined that Zhang Tie could agree with their plan so fast .
Many people were amazed by that .
Zhang Tie smiled towards the heads and elders of the three tribes and said, "Let's get off the train . Pontiff Sarlin might be waiting for us in the railway station!"
. . .
Pontiff Sarlin indeed had waited a long time in the railway station .
The moment Zhang Tie got off the train, he caught sight of the familiar face of Pontiff Sarlin . Although it had been 5 years, Pontiff Sarlin, who had been a knight, didn't change at all . His eyes were still as profound as the ocean which seemed to contain many secrets .
The platform of the railway station was refreshed . Bear-killing warriors were standing on the platforms solemnly in two rows . There was no fresh flower, no cheer in the station . In the unusual silence, everything looked magnificent and solemn .
O'Laura followed Zhang Tie off the train .
Sabrina walked into the team of the wild bear tribe; Ms . Olina also walked together with the representatives of major clans in Ewentra Archipelago . Only the glamorous O'Laura closely followed Zhang Tie .
This time, O'Laura was accompanied by Setton, her two maids and 10 strongest fighters of the grey eagle tribe and her four cousins . Zhang Tie didn't know why O'Laura brought her cousins here . Whatever, as long as she liked it . As O'Laura was going to live in Gozidari Plain, Zhang Tie thought that O'Laura would not feel lonely with some relatives and friends on her side .
Zhang Tie didn't have any impression of O'Laura's cousins during so many days on the train . However, O'Laura's uncle and aunt who ruled the wind wolf tribe of about 300,000 people deeply impressed Zhang Tie only with a short contact . O'Laura's uncle was shrewd while O'Laura's aunt was also a smart woman .
All of them were scared by that solemn atmosphere when they got off the train and remained silent .
"Why is it too quiet?" Pontiff Sarlin revealed a faint smile when Zhang Tie walked towards him, "Please forgive their silence . Because the entire huge bear tribe had been expecting for your arrival for hundreds of years . When such an expectation finally turned into reality, each one here couldn't cheer up . Because cheers mean pleasure . However, for each member of the huge bear tribe, this is not a pleasure, but a destined nirvana!"
It was Zhang Tie's first time to land on the territory of the huge bear tribe——Gozidari Plain . 5 years ago, even though Zhang Tie had become the leader of the huge bear tribe, he still had not been to Gozidari Plain until he left Ice and Snow Wilderness .
"A destined nirvana!" Zhang Tie murmured as he sensed the deep meaning of this word . He then watched Pontiff Sarlin seriously, "Hopefully, I'm not late!"
