The upper reaches of the Susquehanna River. The Susquehannock tribe lived together in ten long houses. The Susquehannock tribe, which had been at war with the Lenape tribe due to the wrong choice of their former chief, the 'Indomitable Fighting Spirit', was not as active as before.
No, we still haven't recovered from the defeat in the war. Moreover, the Susquehannock tribal village of a few hundred people had few young people.
There were mostly only old people, children, and women.
'You've changed a lot.'
'Heavy Snowstorm', who had come to the Susquehannock tribe village for the first time in a long time, walked towards the long house where the chief was with a heavy expression.
At that time, Susquehannock women stood in the way of the 'Heavy Blizzard' and the Susquehannock warriors who had returned from captivity by the Lenape tribe.
"Traitors!"
"Why did you come looking for me instead of dying in the war?"
"You bastards who licked the shit of the Lenape tribe!"
Eyes filled with contempt and anger. 'The Blizzard' spoke sternly to the warriors who came with him as he watched the Susquehannock women spitting at them.
"There's no need to argue, just stay still."
"···Yes, Master Cheon In-jang!"
'Heavy Snowstorm' continued to walk ahead, wiping the spittle from his face.
"Your face is thick too."
"Where did you come from?"
The Susquehannock women continued their abuse and insults without stopping. 'Heavy Snowstorm', which had already reached the entrance of the long house, spoke loudly as if for everyone to hear.
"I have come to you at the command of the great chief of the Lenape tribe, the son of God and warrior, Ichon-il."
"······."
There was no response inside the long house with the doors tightly shut. At that moment, a rough cough was heard, followed by someone's voice.
Knock knock knock!
"··Come in··."
"······."
'A heavy snowstorm' spoke to the warriors around him.
"Guard this area."
"All right."
As the door opened, a 'heavy snowstorm' poured into the long house.
Knock knock knock!
"It's been a while. A heavy snowstorm! It seems like only yesterday that I was making a name for myself as a great warrior···"
"······."
I came here somewhat prepared, but··· The pupils of 'Heavy Snowstorm' shook slightly. My father's older brother, my uncle, 'Dazzling Eyes', was sitting in the position of the chief with a clearly sickly look on his face.
"··I meet my grandfather."
He had aged a lot in the time since I last saw him. That was the first impression 'Heavy Snowstorm' had when he saw his uncle.
"Yes. I see you've become more relaxed and comfortable than before. I guess the Lenape tribe treats you well?"
"yes."
Because it was true, 'Heavy Snowstorm' spoke calmly.
"Yes, I am curious as to why you have come to such a wretched place under the orders of the chieftain of the Lenape tribe. By the way, I do not have much time to listen to useless talk, so I would like to keep it brief."
As expected, his uncle, the 'dazzling eyes', was also looking at him with contempt. 'Heavy Snowstorm' bit his lips tightly and began to speak with a confident look.
"When the Susquehannock tribe joins the Lenape tribe, there will be many changes."
"······."
For a while, talk of a 'heavy snowstorm' continued. After a while, when the story of 'Heavy Snowstorm' ended, 'Dazzling Eyes' began to laugh loudly with a face full of mockery as if he found it ridiculous.
"Hahahaha! Our lives will get better? We'll be given autonomy? Are you saying that in front of me?"
"······."
Despite the laughter, 'Heavy Snowstorm' sat still with a calm demeanor. At that time, 'Dazzling Eyes' spoke with eyes full of laughter.
"There's a ridiculous rumor going around that the Lenape chief you serve is not only a warrior of God, but the son of God himself. When you look at it from your own perspective, do you think that rumor is true?"
Without even thinking about the 'heavy snowstorm', he answered right away.
"Yes, he is the Son of God."
"They betrayed our tribe and said they were living off the excrement of the Lenape tribe… They've changed so much."
"······."
"Very well. If you can prove to me, and to all of us, that you are the Son of God, then we, the Susquehannock tribe, will join the 'Sun of the Sky' alliance without question."
'A heavy snowstorm' said the man, his voice shaking as if he was a little angry.
"I must keep my word."

A 'very big' town. The heads of each department were busy with their own plans. And today, the head of the Department of Foreign Affairs, 'Wide Earth', prepared to leave the village to negotiate with the Nanticoke tribe after all preparations were completed.
"A hundred warriors will escort the party safely."
"In the meantime, elders who know the Nanticoke tribe chiefs will join us."
"We sent word to Chief Nanticoke that we would be visiting."
"I have prepared a bronze spear as a gift."
The 'vast land' that received the report nodded with a satisfied expression.
"Let's get started right away."
"Understood, Mr. Minister of Foreign Affairs!"
At that moment, the heads of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Finance, who had been providing generous support to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on behalf of the chief of the jujube, came to visit.
"I hope you return safely, even if the results aren't good."
The 'vast earth' immediately shook its head at the words of the 'brave wolf'.
"The chief has high expectations for me, so I must make it happen."
He did not forget the 'clear and deep' and did not spare advice on negotiations.
"My Lord, the Great Land! The Nanticoke Tribe will certainly make conditions. So I urge you to negotiate carefully."
"I know what you mean."
After a while, the 'Wide Land' began to move south, escorted by warriors.

'Big Foot' village.
"First, we will build a beacon tower!"
"Tamp the ground!"
"Bring me the stone!"
As soon as the five hundred warriors from the 'Very Big' village arrived at the 'Big Foot' village, they began building a beacon tower.
The villagers of 'Big Foot' watched the hard-working warriors and spoke with worried expressions.
"I don't know if I'm trying too hard."
"Yeah. I think it would be good to rest for a day or so."
"But, maybe because they trained, the warriors look strong."
"You said that you would build a garrison and a fortress here and station about five hundred men there?"
"Who said that? I heard they are building a fortress and garrison that can accommodate five hundred people."
"That's probably true. I heard there are about two hundred warriors stationed at the fortress."
"I see."
* * *
The beacon tower of the village of 'Big Foot' was completed in two days. Under the instructions of the white general, dozens of warriors carried wood to the beacon tower.
At that moment, a warrior approached the white general.
"Mr. White! I'm ready to light the fire."
"Okay. Let's light the fire right now."
"Understood, Mr. White!"
Although the smoke from the beacon fire could not be confirmed until the 'very large' village, it was necessary to first inform the surrounding villages that the beacon tower had been safely installed.
After a while, black smoke began to rise from the beacon tower.
"It burns well."
The white general in charge of the beacon tower shouted to his warriors with a satisfied expression.
"Let's rest today, and start building garrisons and fortresses tomorrow."
"Understood, Mr. White!"

Southwest of Lake Ontario. A mountain covered with forest. At the foot of the steep mountain was a village of the Seneca tribe, one of the Iroquois confederation tribes.
At that time, warriors from each tribe appeared one by one in the long house, preparing to leave. Meanwhile, there were eyes observing the Seneca tribe from a secret place.
A shelter made by digging the ground and covering it with branches and fallen leaves. Warriors from the Lenape tribe's intelligence service were hiding inside the hideout, looking tense.
-I'll get caught. Close the ceiling.
-Yes, sir!
The warrior who quickly closed the ceiling looked at the warrior with the rank of Ten Commander and the three warriors surrounding him.
-What's the situation?
-The Iroquois Confederate warriors are preparing to leave, fully armed.
-It doesn't look like they're going out hunting to me.
-That's right.
-yes.
After exchanging thoughts with the warriors, the Ten Commanders moved cautiously in the narrow hiding place and opened the ceiling again.
And he watched the situation in the Seneca village closely with sharp eyes. About three hundred warriors from the Iroquois Confederation of Tribes.
As it happened, the gate opened and three hundred Iroquois warriors from the Confederate tribes began to move west.
'Where on earth are you going?'
The ten-man quickly closed the ceiling with eyes full of doubt.
-Iroquois warriors are heading west.
-······
The inside of the hideout was enveloped in silence for a moment. Then, one of the warriors cautiously raised his hand and said.
-If it's to the west, it's either the Iri or the Shawnee tribes... Personally, I think it's more likely that the Iroquois confederacy will attack the Iri tribe.
-I think the same thing.
-Okay. Anyway, let's report this information we just found out to our superiors.
-All right.
-And while we're at it, it wouldn't be a bad idea for the Iri tribe to prepare for the invasion of the Iroquois Confederacy. We'll secretly inform the Iri tribe of this fact as well.
-That sounds like a very good idea, sir!
-Hahaha! I think so too.

A 'very big' town. The 'brave wolf' who was in the training camp came running in a hurry at the sudden visit of the Mohawk tribesmen.
As he entered the town hall, the Mohawk tribesmen were already seated and waiting for him.
"I'm sorry for coming so suddenly."
"no."
'Flying in the Sky' greeted 'Brave Wolf' politely on behalf of the Mohawk tribe who had come with him. After a while, in the heavy atmosphere, the 'Brave Wolf' was listening to the demands of the Mohawk tribe.
"···The Iroquois Confederacy has been quiet lately. It seems that the Iroquois Confederacy has become scared after hearing that our two tribes have formed an alliance. We, the Mohawks, hope to seize this opportunity and reclaim the territory lost to the Iroquois Confederacy."
"···hmm!"
"The Brave Wolf" said with a puzzled look on his face, as if the Mohawks were not offended.
"I don't think I can make a decision here and now. When the chief returns, I will discuss this matter with him and let you know."
'Flying in the Sky' asked with a slightly frustrated expression.
"When will your Majesty the Great Chief return?"
"I can't say for sure when I'll be back. But I'm sure it'll be before fall."
"······."
At that moment, 'Flying in the Sky' met the eyes of the Mohawk tribesmen and began to come out strong and endlessly.
"······Then please support the warriors of the Lenape tribe. We will retrieve the territory that was taken from our tribe."
"I'm sorry. I don't think that'll be possible without your permission."
At that moment, several of the Mohawk tribesmen jumped up from their seats and began to argue angrily.
"This won't work, that won't work either? Then what should we do?"
"Now is the perfect time to attack the Iroquois Confederacy."
Phew!
The 'Brave Wolf' smiled sinisterly and looked menacingly at the Mohawk tribesmen who had just spoken.
Clang! Clang!
"······."
The atmosphere in the town hall grew cold. The Mohawk tribesmen, overwhelmed by the momentum of the 'brave wolf', quickly bowed their heads and offered apples.
"I think I got excited and made an unintentional mistake."
"I'm sorry."
The 'Brave Wolf' accepted the apology with a calm expression and began to calmly persuade the Mohawk people once again.
"······There will surely be a better opportunity to attack than now. I would appreciate it if the Mohawk tribe could wait a little longer until then."
"I understand. I know you will be very disappointed, but I will convey this to our chief."

Susquehannah River, upper reaches, Susquehannock tribe village. Through the map window and the map window, I led a hundred-man bodyguard and safely arrived at the Susquehannock tribe village.
As I entered the village, the Susquehannock tribesmen stood to one side, glancing at me with nervous expressions.
At that moment, the 'Heavy Snowstorm' and warriors who had arrived in the village in advance greeted me warmly.
"Are you here, Chief?"
"okay."
After exchanging brief greetings, I received a report from 'Heavy Snowstorm' on the progress so far.
"···I apologize. I tried my best to persuade you, but it won't be easy. However, if you prove that you are the son of God, the Susquehannock tribe will join our alliance without any conditions."
I asked with a genuinely curious look on my face, smiling innocently.
"You are the Son of God... How can I prove that?"
