Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 220: (Retest) The Shark Clan
The discovery was purely accidental, the continent was high in the south and low in the north, the Li River originated from the central part of the country, went south, the more turbulent it was to the south, and when it reached the estuary, it was mighty and magnificent, and it was difficult to move forward.
Even if it was the iron ship of the king's department, there was no way to force it through, so it could only make a detour to the south, but when it encountered a big storm, the fleet drifted east for half a month, moved for two or three hundred miles, and was forced to break into the waves and water curtains.
It should be the impact of the river, forming a delta, with a radius of more than dozens of miles, inhabited by special alien races, who can breathe in the sea and move freely in the ocean, which is somewhat similar to the Ministry of Waiting.
But the difference is that they have no legs, from the lower abdomen down, is a long fishtail, which cannot be said to be a fishtail, their tail is longer, twice the size of the body, and the tip of the tail is flanked by narrow fins.
The wood fire calls them the Shark Clan, the biggest difference from the normal alien race, the Shark Race is a sexless creature, and when they reach adulthood, they will automatically ovulate, put them in the holy pool in the middle of the water island, and develop into babies by themselves.
The lifespan of the merman clan is quite long, and normal clansmen can live for more than three hundred years, but they have no warriors, or adults are warriors, and very few people can master the ability to control water and live to be more than five hundred years old.
They can lay eggs twice in their lives, once as an adult, once as an adult, once when they die, and after death, the tail can become a shark, the eyes will become a shark bead, and the body will return to the holy pool, and it will soon disappear.
The clothes woven by the shark silk are invulnerable to fire and water, invulnerable, after the shark beads are eaten, ordinary people can also breathe underwater, they like to sing, the singing is pleasant to the ear, luring fish and beasts, hunting and hunting.
The big ship of the Li Wangbu can't cross the waves of the sea, the merman people live in seclusion outside the world, there is no dispute with the world, it is a genuine pure land, on the delta, there are only more than 3,000 mermaids, there is no human race, and there is no contact with foreign races.
Seeing the fleet of the Muhou Division, they all behaved extremely novel, without the slightest scheming, and expressed a strong interest in the "similar" Terrans to them, and touched their legs a little, so they were not bold.
Except for the initial surprise, the team of the Mu Hou Department quickly settled down, after all, the alien races they had seen were too many to count, and they had a great ability to bear it, and they didn't react much to the more peculiar mermen.
On the delta, after cultivating for more than half a year, seeing that the mermaid tribe was very interested in their goods, he simply traded the remaining various materials to them, and exchanged a lot of shark beads and shark silk.
For food and utensils, the merman showed little interest, but he showed a strong excitement and love for the harmonica, whistle, bamboo flute, xylophone, horn, pottery and other musical instruments that the warriors carried.
Anyway, there was nothing to do, the wood fire was made of local materials, using willows, mangroves and other plants, and the production method of musical instruments was taught to the merman clan, and the merman took the spirit plant that resembled goldfish algae to thank him, which made him really ashamed.
Half a year later, the fleet was repaired, left the delta, and under the escort of the merman clan, broke the rolling wave, left this pure land, and embarked on the return journey.
......
In the two hundred and twenty years of the Mu Hou Division, the total population reached 70,000, the jungle was 50,000, the island was 20,000, and the warrior was 40,000.
12,000 nobles, 10,000 warriors, 40,000 civilians, 20,000 warriors, 18,000 slaves, 10,000 warriors, 25 witch disciples, 37 warriors, and two prisoners of war were domesticated.
The one that can drive the insect swarm is called Zezhi, and the one that can drive the fish school is called Ze Scale, both of which are in the early stage, and there are two newly awakened ones, one is Fire, which can spray thin flames, and the other is Mu Di, who awakens and absorbs the ability.
Mu Di's life-absorbing ability is quite rare, it can forcibly absorb the life force of the enemy, transfer it to someone else's body, help the wounded recover their health, and can also absorb the enemy's power in battle to replenish their own consumption.
Twenty people in the early stage, ten people in the middle stage, three people in the later stage, Lord Dawu, and the old people of the tribe: Lin Wu, Qingli, Mu Jue, Mu Liu, Mu Mang, and Lu Xi are all limited by qualifications, stuck in the early stage, and cannot break through.
The only exception is Mu Yu, who relied on his own reserves, stayed for twenty years, and successfully awakened for the second time, becoming the fourth great witch of the tribe, and a combat-type great witch, mastering the power of wind and thunderstorm at the same time.
is less than seventy years old, and it is no wonder that he has broken through to become a great witch, after all, he is a natural awakener, talented, and there is a wood fire, he has never lost resources, and he has such a powerful ability, but it is reasonable.
The number of flesh-and-blood soldiers exceeded 10,000, the battle team expanded to 24,000 people, five military camps, 20 square teams, five infantry battalions, five cavalry battalions, and two ordnance battalions, which were still 1,000 people.
The beast cavalry was expanded by 1,000 people, and the mammoth giant elephant, the one-horned rhinoceros, and the triangular dinosaur were each put in twenty. The tripartite team of the sailor battalion and the tripartite team of the logistics battalion each increased by 200 people, and the number of equipment soldiers increased by 300.
And began to form the main force of aces, cavalry archers and raiders, cavalry archers rode brute beasts and wolf warriors, and carried out frontal battles, and raiders rode brute beasts and big cats, and carried out side assaults, each with a thousand people, all of whom were flesh and blood warriors.
Cavalry archers, equipped with black iron heavy armor, long-handled war halberds, iron tire strong bows, 100 catties of heavy armor, 30 catties of halberds, 20 catties of iron bows, and 50 arrows of all iron feathers, all of which are 20 smelted wrought iron, and their combat effectiveness is super strong.
The raiders are equipped with black iron sheet armor, horse chopping knives, animal tendons and iron crossbows, fifty catties of piece armor, twenty catties of long knives, fifteen catties of iron crossbows, and one hundred fiery crossbow arrows, all of which are twenty smelted wrought iron, and are good at hiding sneak attacks.
The iron tire strong bow uses thousand-year-old topwood, thousand-year-old pine paint, wild bull big horn, wild beast horse glue, wild python tendon, and heavenly silk thread, with a range of two hundred zhang, which can penetrate the new bronze armor and shoot through the flesh and blood of the ability warrior.
The range of the ordinary five-link crossbow is 60 zhang, the range of the normal three-repeat crossbow is 80 zhang, the standard single strong crossbow has a range of 100 zhang, and the strong iron crossbow is a single crossbow with a range of 120 zhang.
Equipped with a fiery crossbow arrow, there is a gunpowder column behind the arrow, and iron cones are set at both ends, and when it encounters front and rear pressure, the two iron cones are pushed inward, rubbing sparks and igniting gunpowder, which is not small and can severely damage the soldiers.
Iron smelting on the island is also developing hotly, and there are 10,000 people in the Ministry of Meteorology, which have been transferred to the sea, 2,000 people are responsible for casting, and 8,000 people are looking for ore at the bottom of the sea, and every year, there are more than 300,000 catties of ore.
Most of the transactions were given to the Ministry of Wood, and very few stayed to cast them by themselves, but iron ware is different from bronze ware, and the process requirements for casting are extremely high, even if there is skill, it can only be barely started, and it is difficult to master it.
Ironmaking is never made up for by knowledge, what matters is talent, experience and feel, practice makes perfect, and if you want to train a blacksmith, there is no way to achieve it without decades.
Take Muhuo as an example, the knowledge he has can help him refine iron, steel, and even dark iron, but his ability can only refine twenty smelted wrought iron, and even refined iron is difficult to refine.
Through thirty or forty years of professional training, there are more than 1,000 apprentices in the Wood Hou Department, more than 100 blacksmiths who can start refining pig iron and casting wrought iron, and eight craftsmen who can cast fine iron.
Copper is fire and iron, in vain has strong combat power, but never on the battlefield, now the Mu Hou Department, only he himself, can refine forty refined iron, no one in the tribe is reluctant to let him play, for fear of a mistake.
Forty refinements of refined iron are already comparable to meteoric iron, and most of the mid-middle and late-stage warriors of the tribe are equipped with forty refinements of weapon armor, and ordinary early warriors have also popularized thirty refinements of refined iron equipment.
In addition to the 10,000 soldiers stationed on the island, there are 10,000 sets of wrought iron equipment idle, and the Ministry of Maritime Weather also has more than 2,000 sets of equipment.
Gunpowder is also being made in secret, various types of bronze thunder fire, the number of storage is constantly enriched, 5,000 palm thunder, 1,000 overlord thunder, 100 thunder thunder, the production of thunder fire, but gradually encountered problems.
There are many sulfur mines and volcanoes, and charcoal powder can be used at any time, but saltpeter mines have quickly bottomed out, without potassium nitrate, gunpowder cannot be developed, potassium nitrate is very simple to extract, but saltpeter ore is relatively difficult to find.
The saltpeter powder is boiled, the aqueous solution is boiled dry, there are two layers of crystals, the square grain is sodium, the long crystal layer is potassium nitrate, the nature of saltpeter ore, there are no characteristics, clairvoyance is difficult to distinguish.
Tu Mang and Qing Wang, who are leading the team, are looking for saltpeter mines everywhere, the tribe has not much gunpowder left, they are all left to make explosive crossbow arrows, they are hot with the power of bronze thunder fire, and they are unwilling to give up making gunpowder.
The population of the Wind King reached 100,000, 50,000 warriors, 25,000 nobles, 45,000 commoners, 30,000 slaves, 50 psychic warriors, 15 in the middle period, 3 in the late stage, and 1 in the Great Witch.
There are new warriors awakening, there are early fighters who break through the middle stage, and there are old mid-stage warriors who break through to the late stage, and the breakthrough of the late warriors has inspired the confidence of the Wind King Department and seriously hit the morale of the War King Department.
There are 6,000 Flying Spear Army, 6,000 Flying Stone Army, 5,000 Heavy Crossbow Army, 6,000 Repeater Army, 4,000 Flying Archery Army, 8,000 Melee Army, and 5,000 Logistics Army.
There are 18,000 people in the Ministry of Soil and Weather, more than 9,000 soldiers, 50,000 acres of fertile land, and an annual grain output of 150 million catties, which can feed 100,000 people.
There are more than 9,000 people and more than 5,000 soldiers in the Yan Weather Department, and the water source has been alleviated; more than 9,000 people and more than 5,000 soldiers in the Ice Weather Department have improved the survival of infants; and more than 7,000 people and more than 3,000 soldiers in the Stone Weather Department have solved the food problem.
There are 60,000 people in the Maritime Waiting Department, more than 40,000 relatives, nearly 20,000 slaves, 40 abnormal warriors, 12 in the middle period, 4 warriors in the later period, and 1 great witch.
In 219, the Wind King defeated the War King's Department, the Wind King and the War King started a big battle, regardless of victory or defeat, the four Hou Divisions joined forces, defeated the Shahou Department, captured the desert, and the War King Army's army was defeated and retreated to the mountain plateau.
The four major candidate alliance armies, the troops are on the wilderness, and the Muhai coalition army converges, besieging the wilderness Hou Ministry, and the army of the Wind King is stationed on the border, confronting the War King Ministry, blocking the Decisive Mountain Hou Ministry, and the Desolation Hou Department is difficult to support alone.
Hairen is not good at dry land warfare, in the early stage at the edge of Daze, basically shot by the Haihou Department, hit the depths of the wilderness, and handed it over to the Muhou Department, only in the rainy season, the two divisions joined forces to break through the defense line.
In the rainy season of 221, the torrential rain poured down, flooding the barren forest, and the six Hou troops joined forces to break through the barren Hou Department, the Ze Hou Department, the sea Hou, the wood Hou, the stone Hou, the Ice Hou, and the Yan Hou.
It was originally a kill, but Mu Hou and Hai Hou made a move, blocked Shi Hou, and saved the life of Erhou, but they were also forced to give up most of their interests, as long as they had duckweed holy grass, as well as Daze and Dahe borders.
The other four waiting departments are satisfied, the order of the Wind King Department is to break through the desert, and the capture of the wilderness is purely their own action, and the benefits of their belongings should naturally be shared by them.
