Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars Chapter 18 Prehistoric Hegemony
At the end of a war, whether it is the Xuanhuang people, or the lizard dogs, or the ancient wolves, these three clans are all injured to their bones.
After the two lizard dogs converged, they exchanged a little, and then retreated towards their territory with a depressed face.
Next to a large mountain, the Lizard Dogs meet the Blue Fox Clan, who are migrating back.
The new leader of the lizard dog frowned, but finally chose not to see it, and led the army to walk by.
The Blue Fox clan looked at the army of lizard dogs that had made them flee from the wind, and after a little comparison, they also wisely chose peace.
It's really emaciated that camels are bigger than horses.
Despite this, the Lizard Dog still looks a little embarrassed in the face of the defeat of his former subordinates.
Their war with the Xuanhuang people was one loss, one victory and one draw in the battle, but the price they paid was far more than that of the Xuanhuang people.
Not to mention anything else, the number of sacrifices alone is more than ten times that of the Xuanhuang people.
In this battle, the army of 900,000 lizard dogs came back, and only the more than 100,000 in front of them came back.
……
The news of the Blue Fox's return to the territory spread, and soon, a part of the ancient wolf also returned to its original territory, and the lizard dog did not make any action to stop it.
The ancient wolves who fought side by side with the Xuanhuang people, were overjoyed to learn that their own kind had moved back, and immediately went to see their compatriots happily, but the other party was very unfriendly, they drove these ancient wolves who had been used as mounts for the Xuanhuang people, and did not let them enter and leave their territory.
These heroes who defeated the lizard dogs with the Xuanhuang people were very puzzled and aggrieved.
They return to the territory of the Xuanhuang people in despair, and every time the night comes, they will silently climb to the highest place of Jiushou Mountain, and strive to look north.
There, their kind have begun to live a normal life and seem to have forgotten them completely.
"Ahh
"Ahh......h
A slightly desolate howl sounded frequently on a moonlit night, as if to tell something.
Later, the monkey-faced leopard, who didn't even have the courage to fight, also came back licking his face. When they return to their territory, they try to challenge the lizard dog's supremacy.
When the monkey-faced leopard gathered its forces and entered the hinterland of the lizard dog, he found that there was no trace of the lizard dog.
The old man's gaze fell on the group of lizard dogs heading north, and he was surprised by their sudden departure.
Lao Fang guessed for a moment, this may be related to the Xuanhuang people, there is such a powerful character next to him, and the lizard dog is afraid.
Of course, Lao Fang's conjecture cannot be used as the basis for facts, but it is clear that although the lizard dog has lost three-quarters of its strength, it is definitely not afraid of the monkey-faced leopard.
……
The Xuanhuang lived in a low-key manner, and a war turned their population from nearly 100,000 to less than 20,000.
The cruel war brings indelible sorrow to the living, every family is broken, some people have no husband, some people have no sons, and some people have no fathers, all kinds of remembrance, all kinds of nostalgia, constitute most of their lives.
But there are also those who turn this grief into strength, and they are active in helping other people to wash away their pain.
The potential of the wolf rider is very huge, eight thousand wolf riders can run amok in the army of 300,000 lizard dogs, this alone makes the wise people among the Xuanhuang people excited, and the plan to expand the number of wolf riders appears in their schedule.
But it's a tough thing to do.
The formation of a wolf ride must have the cooperation of the Xuanwolf (in order to distinguish it, Lao Fang specially racked his brains to rename the ancient wolf who was close to the Xuanhuang people).
When fighting the lizard dog, the reason why the Xuanhuang wolf allowed the Xuanhuang people to ride on him was to win, and it was also because they had an incomparable hatred for the lizard dog, which was the basis for cooperation.
But now, the attitude of the ancient wolf has made the Xuan wolf have a knot in his heart, and they have begun to reject this kind of behavior that feels undignified, and it is difficult to make them become mounts again.
The Xuanhuang people were also helpless against this and decided to take one step at a time.
The Xuanwolf took the Jiushou Mountain as its own, and the hunting area under the mountain allowed the Xuanhuang people to hunt, and once they entered the mountainside, they would be warned by the Xuanwolf.
The Xuanhuang people understood this old guy who had fought together very well, and they didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, after all, the strength of the Xuanhuang people was no longer enough to deal with any of the three races in the north alone.
At a critical time, the support of the Xuan Wolf is also needed.
So they simply took Jiushou Mountain as a forbidden place, and strictly forbade the tribesmen to go up the mountain to hunt.
With the passage of a thousand times, three years have passed, and the thick sadness on the faces of most Xuanhuang people has faded a lot.
Survival and reproduction have become an important topic for the Xuanhuang people, and it is also the mission of the Xuanwolf clan.
Lao Fang made a little statistics, in the past year, more than 3,000 babies were born to the Xuanhuang people, but the Xuanhuang people added 4,000 new beasts.
Although the base of the Xuanhuang is much smaller than that of the Xuanhuang people, the Xuanwolf is more capable of giving birth.
The herbivores who had taken refuge in a valley had returned to their homes after the war.
Due to the small number of carnivores, the number of herbivores has soared a little fast, and the vegetation on the plains of the lower reaches of the Suyu River has a tendency to be in short supply.
Naturally, the Xuanhuang people did not know the concept of ecological balance, and it was a good thing for them that herbivores were everywhere.
The wolves also lived very comfortably, and they began to withdraw from the families of the Xuanhuang people, and no longer hunted with the men.
In order to maintain their ambitions, the wolves who live in groups refuse to eat the cooked food given by the Xuanhuang people, and hunt alone, chasing down lone herbivores and ferociously biting their prey.
The cubs they give birth to are very tight, and the Xuanhuang people look at them with blank eyes, hoping to be adopted.
At first, the wolf refused, but later, the wolf divided a small part of the newly weaned cubs and handed them over to the Xuanhuang people.
The Xuanhuang people take care of these cubs like their own sons, and the mission of forming a wolf rider depends on them.
In the past three years, the Xuanhuang people have been watching the movements of the northern ancient wolf, monkey-faced leopard, and blue fox clans, for them, these three clans are all strong neighbors, and it is very likely that they will swallow themselves in one fell swoop when the strength of the Xuanhuang people has greatly decreased.
But obviously, with the lesson of the lizard dog, the three clans chose to be cautious in this matter.
However, they have carved up the territory left by the Lizard Dogs, and their territory has expanded to be larger than ever.
It's just that they found that this place has already been plagued by lizard dogs, and there are no herbivores in the good grassland, so hunting has become a little difficult.
But with the green mountains, are you afraid that you won't be able to attract a flock of birds?
Soon, the grasslands and forests of the Xuanhuang people were not enough to support a large number of herbivores, and after several large-scale migrations, groups of herbivores passed through the Sahong Canyon and entered the territory of the three tribes.
The grasslands and forests of the three ethnic groups have ushered in vitality again.
……
Thousands of miles to the north, Lao Fang saw that two races with a population of more than five million had turned their eyes to each other after annexing the territory of all the surrounding small populations.
According to Lao Fang's observation, these are two oviparous races, if it weren't for the Xuanhuang Star, Lao Fang would definitely think that the two races in front of him must be close relatives of dinosaurs.
However, the trouble-free old party named them red-skinned dragons and green-skinned dragons directly according to their skin color.
These two races have the same perverted reproductive ability, laying a dozen eggs at a time, then burying them in the sand and letting them hatch, breaking out of their shells, and after three or five years, growing into giant beasts more than three meters tall.
The two populations are eight points similar in appearance, and it is very likely that they come from the same ancestor, but on the way of evolution, one or both branches have mutated, which has some differences in appearance, but it is difficult for them to form a race.
The old man shook his head when he saw it, it turned out that the origin of skin color discrimination was so early.
There was no superfluous nonsense between the two races, they directly gathered their forces, pulled up a long front, and then began to fight in groups.
The war of this era does not have so many curves, everyone is a beast, and the attack method is the same, all of them are five skills: rushing and pounce and biting.
As for kicking and kicking, that's a herbivore stunt, like the Xuanhuang people move stones, throw short spears, hammer with stones, and slash with stone axes, that's pure cheating.
Despite the absence of a referee, the red-skinned dragon and the green-skinned dragon did not cheat, and played against each other according to the five elements of attack.
The two super-populations fought each other in the dark, with the death toll of individuals on both sides remaining at around 100,000 per day, which would have been even higher if it weren't for the geographical limits on the length of the battle line.
But it doesn't matter, you can't finish it today, you can continue tomorrow.
After a month of fighting, the two races began to regret it a little, and the troops on both sides were consumed a lot.
However, there is no such thing as a messenger in this era, so there is no such thing as peace, and you can only regret it, and the battle must continue to be fought.
The two sides stubbornly helped each other consume hundreds of thousands, and finally the green-skinned dragon couldn't stand it anymore, thinking, Lao Tzu can't afford to fight, can't he hide.
So this green-skinned dragon moved its territory to the south for eight hundred miles, and it didn't matter if it moved, it directly became the neighbor of the blue fox, and it was only separated by a river from the blue fox.
The green-skinned dragon wiped out several small races on the north bank of the Suyu River, and the speed was as devastating as a bamboo.
Many meat animals were forced to cross the Suyu River to the south bank in search of a glimmer of life.
The blue fox group was so frightened that their hairs stood up, if it weren't for the wide Su Yu River separated from it, I was afraid that they would immediately migrate to a safe place, such a strong neighbor would definitely not be a good thing for them, and the strength of the other party was still above the lizard dogs in their heyday.
Fortunately, this race has no plans to go south at the moment, but is just trying to multiply, bent on restoring its numbers to its heyday.
However, it is only a matter of time before the Suyu River is forcibly crossed and the territory on the south bank is snatched.
And further afield, many super races have numbered tens or even hundreds of millions.
There will be so many carnivores, in the final analysis, it is because the plants of Xuanhuangxing's era are too perverted in terms of growth rate.
Annual plants such as grasses can grow to more than two meters tall from the time they emerge in spring and turn yellow in autumn.
Trees have a ninety-nine percent chance of dying naturally in this day and age without worrying about axes, chainsaws.
The sun is also extremely abundant, and in this case, those trees with a diameter of more than ten meters abound, their branches and leaves are dense, and they cover an area of more than half an acre, becoming a natural habitat for many small animals.
With lush plants, there is no reason why herbivores should not reproduce faster, find food everywhere, and have more time and energy to thrive without having to migrate long distances.
Herbivores are in large groups, making it easier for large carnivores to hunt, so they also free up more time to develop their power.
In this era, because it was not recorded in history, the old party had to name it - the prehistoric period of hegemony.
