In fact, the Governor of Hesse Territory's Provincial Affairs Council, Oliver, can be called a shrewd Prime Minister.
The suggestion he put forward not only possesses the advantages of the tribute system but also fully incorporates the relatively developed industrial and mining characteristics of this world.
Humans and Dwarves both have significant advantages in engineering and industry, requiring a large supply of raw materials.
However, after this bloody battle, Hesse Territory suffered terribly severe population losses.
Therefore, even though the Green Dragon ceded a large fertile hinterland within the Blood Pine Forest, rich in resources, to humans, Hesse Territory indeed cannot develop the thousand-plus miles of land because of insufficient population, which is the territory's Achilles' heel.
Now, using this tribute trade system, the Green Dragon can shift from expanding its military preparations to enslaving monsters into this territory to help humans mine the resources.
