I looked up and saw the message floating above my head.
[Quest: Conquer the barbarian tribe of Powhatan]
[Reward: A large amount of experience]
'The Powhatan tribe...'
A few delegates raised their hands in response to the question of 'singing water', which was a brief moment of thought.
The Pequot, Susquehannock, and Shawnee tribes. 'Singing Water' continued speaking with an expression of the same expression.
"Here's a chieftain, there's a chieftain. There's more than one chieftain. Now, here's where things get tricky. The leader of the 'Sun of the Sky' alliance is also called a chieftain. Don't you think something's a bit strange?"
"It's a date palm···"
"It's a bit strange."
The delegates who were sitting in their seats seemed to sympathize with his opinion and were deep in thought.
"He is clearly our leader, but shouldn't he have a new title? How long should we call the great Lee Cheon-il, the son of God and warrior, the Great Chief? That's why I think we should first decide on a title for the leader of the 'Sun of the Sky' alliance."
The delegates nodded repeatedly to the argument of 'singing water'.
"I see."
"Yes, it's right to decide on a title first."
"Why didn't we know that?"
A few delegates stood up and formally proposed the motion.
"···I would like to decide the title of the leader of the 'Sun of the Sky' Federation right here and now."
"great."
"I agree."
The meeting went in a direction I didn't expect. Of course, in a good way for me. The agenda was officially put on the table as we watched the 'singing water' sitting in its place.
And the issue of deciding on a title was quickly resolved through the meeting.
"···The title of the leader of the 'Sun of the Sky' Federation has been decided as Emperor. And next spring, the Emperor's coronation ceremony will be held at a gathering of all delegates."
Applause broke out again among the delegates.
'I made a big mistake.'
Rather, my power became stronger and more solid through the actions of the 'singing water'. I continued the meeting, feeling secretly grateful to him.
First, the heads of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy were appointed.
"···I will appoint 'Cool Breeze' as the head of the Ministry of Justice."
"···I will appoint 'Singing Water' as the head of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy."
Since it was my prerogative to appoint the heads of the administrative agencies, the delegates had no particular complaints about that.
Rather, the delegates all supported my decision. However, the chief of the Shawnee tribe, Singing Water, walked up to the stage with a puzzled expression, as if he did not know why he had been nominated.
There were misunderstandings, but for various reasons, it was planned to appoint him to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy from the beginning.
First of all, I wanted to show that anyone with ability would be hired, regardless of tribal origin. In fact, 'Singing Water' had outstanding abilities and qualities as a merchant.
[Singing Water]
[Affiliation: Shoni Tribe, Chief of the Rabbit Clan]
[Alignment: Cautious and intuitive. A natural merchant] [Ability]
Stamina: 9
Strength: 8
Agility: 7
Wisdom: 18
The wisdom score was almost at 20. In a word, genius. The 'singing water' standing in front of me spoke quietly with a questioning look in its eyes.
"···If you appointed me as the head of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy because of the help I gave you earlier, then I would decline."
"There is no need to decline. I appointed you because I trusted your abilities."
His pupils trembled as if they were moved.
"···I will do my best to assist you."
* * *
Several agenda items passed smoothly through the delegates' meeting. The number of council meetings was reduced from four to two to account for the many tribes and vast territories.
Spring and fall. And with the guidance of the Minister of Justice, 'Cool Wind,' new laws were continuously added to the law book I compiled.
"Well then, I'll see you again at the next delegates' meeting."
As culture develops and society advances, laws will continue to be added through the National Assembly. As 'Cool Breeze' stepped back with a rather tired expression, I stepped up to the stage again and signaled to 'Lazy Beaver'.
After a while, the 'Lazy Beaver' and the construction workers came with a sundial and a water clock. During this time, I explained the concept of calendar and time to the delegates.
"Is that a sundial?"
"I don't know."
"Anyway, I understand that the day is divided into twenty-four parts."
"You said there are twelve months in a year?"
The delegates were looking with curiosity at the sundial and water clock in the center of the podium. I again explained to the delegates in detail how to use the sundial and water clock until they understood.
"That was the principle."
"I wish I had learned numbers, I could have been in big trouble."
"It's 4:20 p.m..."
"Can I use a sundial during the day and a water clock at night?"
"yes."
I finished explaining the calendar attached to the wooden board and ended the long, long general meeting.
"···Dinner is ready. Everyone has worked hard in the meeting for a long time. Now, let's all go to the banquet hall."
* * *
The convention ended safely, and a few days passed quickly. The delegates hurried back to their respective villages, but some remained in the 'very large' village and caused me trouble.
The day before the departure ceremony to conquer the barbarian tribes, the Shawnee chiefs, 'Ferocious Wolf' and 'Sharp Horn' visited my office as usual.
Chiriririririt!
The atmosphere in the office was becoming increasingly heavy due to the invisible rivalry between the two.
"···Chief! Let me lead the vanguard. I will definitely conquer the barbarian tribes."
As if mocking the determination of the 'sharp antlers', the 'cold wolf' did not stay still and spoke with eyes full of desire.
"···I, who specializes in surprise attacks, would be better suited to conquering barbarian tribes than someone who just charges forward without thinking."
I couldn't help but sigh as I watched them come and harass me for days.
Phew!
good night.
That's all well and good, but as commanders, they haven't been trained in strategy or tactics at the training camp. So, it was very difficult to place them as the vanguard in conquering the barbarian tribes.
Of course, I acknowledge their power as great warriors. At that moment, a noise was heard outside the door.
"Chief! It's thunderous!"
"Come in."
"thank you."
I was curious as to why he came to see me when he should have been at the training camp. After a while, I looked at 'Roaring Thunder' with eyes full of worry.
'Roaring Thunder' spoke earnestly, without avoiding my gaze.
"···I believe that I know the newbie warriors who just graduated from the training camp better than anyone else. Chief! Please let me command my young warriors."
"······"
The 'Ferocious Wolf' and 'Sharp Antlers' looked at 'Roaring Thunder' with bewildered expressions at the appearance of a completely unexpected competitor.
I was a little confused too.
'Well, it must be tough to be training new warriors at the training camp.'
I think I can understand the feelings of 'Roaring Thunder'. After much thought, I made up my mind.
"Since the barbarian tribe has hundreds of villages, it would be better to split the force and attack them in several groups. All three of you will join in conquering the barbarian tribe."
They spoke at the same time with joyful expressions.
"Thank you, Chief!"
"It is the right decision."
"I will definitely repay your trust, Chief!"
I found myself fidgeting with my hands in annoyance, not wanting to wrestle with this issue any longer.
"Well then, I guess I should go to the office now."
"Yes, Chief!"
After they left, I was left alone in the office and let out a long sigh.
"Whew! I'm still feeling uneasy. I guess I'll appoint Cold Tree as the commander-in-chief and have them serve as deputy commanders."

training school. In accordance with the departure ceremony, warriors, mainly from the Susquehannock tribe, lined up and waited for me.
As I went up to the stage, 'Roaring Thunder' roared loudly.
"Attention, everyone! Respect to the Great Chief!"
"insect!"
The warriors all shouted their praises toward me and placed their right fists against their chests as if they were about to leave the training ground.
"Take a rest!"
"Take a rest."
I held a promotion ceremony based on the results of training to boost the morale of the warriors who were about to go into battle.
Beginner warrior, intermediate warrior, advanced warrior. The warriors who were called came forward, received their awards in the form of weapons, and returned to their places.
And he began to deliver a short and eloquent speech to the departing warriors.
"···You have worked hard for several months in the training camp. From now on, you are warriors of the 'Sun in the Sky.' So, you can be confident."
"······"
"···You must return victoriously. And you must return alive. That is my first order. That's it!"
The five hundred warriors in the training ground cheered with excitement after hearing my speech.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I came down to the stage and gave some instructions to the three great warriors who were to lead the warriors.
"Please contact me as soon as you arrive at the Nanticoke Tribe."
"I hope the three of you can assist the cold tree, the commander-in-chief."
A moment later, three units, each holding their own flag, were moving away from my sight, escorted by the townspeople.
The head of the Department of Defense, the 'Brave Wolf', looked at me with a slightly anxious look and said:
"The cold tree will guide them well."
"Yeah, I guess I'll have to trust the cold tree and those guys."

A 'very big' town. The women of the village were looking at the objects before their eyes with curiosity. Before I explain how I use the custom-made loom in my workshop, I first talk about how I extract yarn from hemp.
"···The hemp harvested in the fall is boiled in hot water and dried in the sun, which makes it turn yellow like this. I will make thread out of this."
Boom boom!
I split the well-dried hemp into thin strips one by one and wove them together end to end.
"Okay! Everyone, give it a try."
"Yes, Chief!"
One by one, the women of the tribe took their places and began to spin thread from the hemp.
"You're doing well."
"I think you need to make the thread thinner."
"It's difficult now, but you'll be able to do it well once you get used to it."
I walked around here and there, giving careful advice to the village women who were having a hard time spinning yarn from hemp.
After a while, I demonstrated how to make hemp clothes on a loom using yarn I had prepared in advance.
Thud! Crunch! Thud! Thud! Crunch!
"You can make clothes with that."
"Chief, your hands are so fast!"
The village women all looked at me with surprised eyes. After finishing the demonstration, I stood up and spoke to the villagers.
"Okay, each of you take a seat at a battlefield."
"Yes, Chief!"
The women sat at ten looms and very slowly began to weave hemp garments, following my instructions and advice.
Thud! Crunch! Thud! Thud! Crunch!
I nodded with a satisfied expression.
'You all have good dexterity, so you learn quickly.'

"Right. Come to dad."
The 'star in the sky' walked towards me with unsteady steps.
"Papa! Papa!"
"Hahahahaha! Yeah. It's Dad."
I lifted my daughter in my arms above my head.
"This time, Dad will take you on a plane."
"Papa!"
Do you understand what I'm saying? The 'stars in the sky' were smiling brightly at me. I, who had become a fool for my daughter, also laughed like an idiot.
"Hahahahaha! Who does our daughter take after to be so pretty? Is it because she takes after her father?"
Playing with the child wasn't difficult at all. Rather, I felt sorry that I couldn't play with her much because my daughter in front of me was so lovely.
Even the full-term 'Moon Rises' was watching me and my daughter playing with a happy expression. At that moment, a 'fast-moving deer' came in, making noise from outside.
"Chief! The Iroquois Confederacy has arrived."
