Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 177: (Retest) The Six Candidates

The relatives wore neat cloth clothes, and the tribes wore tanned leather clothes, and even invented gloves without fingers, which could be used to keep warm, and invented simple hats and boots, which were okay, but the boots were not very strong.

There are basically no wild beasts in Zhanwang Mountain, only domesticated herds, which are stocked in the wilderness, pigs, cattle, sheep, deer, and horses...... It is widely distributed, with tens of thousands of heads of each type and a wide variety of species.

There are also flocks of chickens and ducks, which are more numerous, and their wings are regularly trimmed and can fly, but they do not fly far, and they do not fly long, and they produce much more meat than the wild ones, and they are fat and fat, and they lay more eggs, and they are not small.

Cultivation has also developed, with fertile soil, plenty of sunlight, and although the terrain is somewhat high, the center and the surrounding area are high, but the middle is low-lying, which retains a lot of heating and the climate is humid.

In the flat valley area, a large area of fertile land has been reclaimed, and the slash-and-burn cultivation has been freed from slash-and-burn farming, and the compost and soil have been learned, that is, the tools are relatively primitive, the light bone rake is easy to damage, and the strong bronze hoe is very bulky.

Without bronze ploughs and oxen, farming was very inefficient and required a large number of manpower, and the slaves who served in the waiting department were basically busy farming, the clansmen were responsible for simple grazing, and the warriors were responsible for garrisoning everywhere.

The main grain crops are barley, wheat, and maize, which are harvested once a year; the more important crops are sorghum, soybeans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which are harvested twice a year; and there are more than a dozen seasonal vegetables.

The construction industry flourished, and when they really got out of the caves, ordinary people lived in grass-roofed wooden houses, and a few high-rise houses lived in wood-roofed stone houses, where they could make fine pottery, and could weave hunting nets and bamboo.

The double harvest of animal husbandry and planting basically met the needs of the royal department, and there was an army that was out of production, a defensive bronze shield soldier, an offensive cavalry of all kinds, and a balanced piece of armor infantry.

The extensive use of bronze has led to the upgrading of equipment, and the weapons used for attack include spears, changge, plate axes, broadswords, and copper swords, and equipment used for defense, such as sheet armor, rattan armor, copper shields, and teng shields.

Slings and spear throwers that can enhance power and range have also come into being in the process of continuous exploration, and even bows and arrows have been studied, and the hard-horned and strong wooden bows of the War King are powerful enough to kill warriors.

The War King Department uses war to raise war, today to fight the Wind King Department, tomorrow to fight the Li King Department, and the day after tomorrow to fight the strange beasts...... The clansmen have been cultivated since childhood, and their combat ability is extraordinary, and their 5,000 armored cavalry has always been a nightmare for the entire continent.

The armored cavalry is the trump card of the war king's department, wearing a refined copper armor, holding a refined bronze Changge, riding a brute beast red blood scale horse, the war horse has been eating human blood for a long time, has a violent temperament, and has extremely high combat effectiveness.

Their head horse, which is a genuine beast, can travel thousands of miles a day, tearing jackals, tigers and leopards alive, and is also the mount of the king of war.

The troops of the Houbu participated in the celebration, came directly to the central mountain, stopped at the foot of the mountain to rest, and there was a camp tent for accommodation at the bottom of the mountain, and they needed to wait until the ceremony was held before they were allowed to go up the mountain to pay tribute and participate in the great sacrifice of the royal department.

In the camp tent where I lived, I also saw other waiting departments, under the command of the War King Department, there were six major waiting departments, the Heavenly Weather Department, the Mountain Waiting Department, the Forest Waiting Department, the Ze Waiting Department, the Sand Waiting Department, and the Desert Waiting Department, all of which were the majority of 10,000 people.

Among them, the Heavenly Weather Department and the Mountain Weather Department, which are the closest to the War King Department, are the cronies of the Wang Department, and the strength is also the strongest, with a number of nearly 20,000, and the Mountain Weather Department has two late warriors, and the Tianwu of the Heavenly Weather Department is a big witch.

The weather department can domesticate the cloud eagle, the cloud eagle likes to live on the edge of the cliff, the body is huge, the normal adult cloud eagle, the wingspan is two zhang, can carry people to fly in the sky, such a mount, is definitely the pursuit of countless warriors.

But the reproduction of cloud eagles is difficult, the number is scarce, the growth is slow, and the cloud eagles in the weather department are also very few, only more than 100 heads, the old ones are too old, the small ones are too small, and the adult eagles that can be ridden are less than 20 heads.

Tianwu's cloud carving mount, which has lived for nearly a thousand years, is already a peak fierce beast, about to break through to become a strange beast, with a wingspan of more than five zhang, can carry ten people at the same time, and when soaring in the air, almost no one can beat it.

There are two kinds of taming beasts in the mountain department, one is the yak, the strength of the yak is strong, the attack power is also very strong, the adult yak, can carry 3,000 catties of gravity, hard-working, docile character, is the best mount for transportation.

The second is the flexible springbok, the jumping ability is very high, the body is athletic, can be in the steep mountains, shuttle back and forth at will, no matter how dangerous the cliffs, can also walk on the ground, run and climb at will.

The mount of the mountain is the yak, and the mount of the spouse of the mountain is the springbok, which is also the pinnacle of the fierce species, one has the power to open the mountain, and the other has the ability to penetrate the mountain, each has its own advantages, and when they join forces, the strength can be called terrifying.

In addition, several other waiting parts also have their own specialties, the bighorn deer in the forest waiting department, can shuttle flexibly in the forest, agile and vigorous, and the camel herd in the sand waiting department can travel long distances in the desert with amazing endurance.

Although there are no mounts, the Desert Department has special abilities, and in an extremely harsh environment, they can also exert good combat power, and they have always been in the same spirit, with deep friendship, advancing and retreating together.

The former can hold his breath underwater for a long time, be flexible like a swimming fish, and have super water combat ability, while the latter has excellent physical fitness, can resist the most poisonous beatings, can do the most tiring work, can eat the least food, and can drink the least water.

The first to arrive, as usual, were the Weather Department and the Mountain Weather Department, the two of which were the closest, with mounts by their side, and they were very fast. Then there is the Zehou Department and the Desolation Department, the two are relatively close, and the Desolation Department also has a desolate horse to ride.

Then there is the sand waiting department, the camels are not moving fast, and they are far away. Lin Houbu was the last to arrive, much later than usual, because the manpower with military service slowed down the speed of the cavalry.

At the end of June, they arrived at the camp, and when they saw their large team, several departments were a little surprised, Lin Tuo explained: "My father has been in retreat so far, and there are many affairs in the clan, so I don't bother the royal department to take care of it. ”

After resting in the camp for three days, it was time for the celebration, and the six envoys dressed up and prepared their respective tributes, and followed the warriors up the mountain to the square where they were welcomed, and paid homage to the king of war.

The sacrifice of the royal department is more regular, there are special sacrificial ritual vessels, there are sacrificial dances and sacrificial songs, singing songs, dancing dances, it is the waiting department to worship, the king of war and the war witch personally presided, and the war witch is also a big witch.

The breath of the war king is extremely majestic, and the wood fire is also a great witch, and he also feels the oppression, which makes him secretly frightened, the true strength of the war king may have already exceeded the later stage, and he cannot be regarded with ordinary eyes.

Among the six major candidates, except for the Heavenly Witch from the Heavenly Weather Department, which is a great witch, the other four candidates are all leaders, all of whom are late-stage warriors, and only the Lin Hou Department is a flesh and blood witch, which is somewhat different.

The others didn't look much at it, and the eyes of the war king fell on Lin Houbu, his voice was calm, not angry and arrogant, and asked, "Lin Hou is still in retreat?"

"My father seems to have gained something, he has been in retreat for ten years, and he has not yet left the customs, before leaving, let me greet His Majesty on behalf of his old man. Lin Tuo replied respectfully.

"Hmm. The Warlord nodded, not saying anything more.

After the sacrificial ceremony, the tribes did not leave immediately, but remained in the tents and carried out trade between the tribes.

Each candidate department has mastered the vast area, and the resources in their hands are incomparably rich, including fruits that have never been seen before, such as kiwifruit, loquat, plum, fig, red date, pistachio, sea buckthorn, and yacon.

There are crops that have never been seen before, such as barley, oats, rye, barley, buckwheat, and fruits that have never been seen before, such as chestnuts and walnuts.

Herbs that have never been seen before, such as licorice, honeysuckle, gardenia...... The discovery of honeysuckle made Muhuo quite happy, because honeysuckle is not only a medicinal material, but also can be used to make tea, and there are new raw materials on the tea recipe.

There are even Cordyceps sinensis and snow lotus, two great tonic medicines that are not inferior to ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum, which can enrich the tribe's medicine storehouse, and any newly discovered species, wood fire pride, are all exchanged for the tribe.

The fly in the ointment is that the Ministry of Waiting for intellectual property rights is kept extremely closely, and the items taken out for trading are like the animal repellent grass of the Ministry of Waiting, which can be ground into powder for you, and there will be absolutely no fragments left, let alone rhizomes.

Snow lotus and cordyceps sinensis are all powders and fragments, and even honeysuckle, gardenia, licorice, these medicinal materials have also been carefully processed, leaving no seeds, which makes people grit their teeth in anger.

Fortunately, there is no way to remove the fruits, crops, and fruits, so you can't plane the kernels and only exchange the pulp?

The royal department also has its own stalls, trading rattan armor, rattan shields, back baskets, baskets, stone tools, and animal taming...... There are also copper utensils and even bronze weapons, but the price is quite expensive, and it costs tens of thousands of catties of copper and stone at every turn.

Hou Department is constrained by technical conditions, copper mining and refining, the speed is slow, like the forest Hou Department, 2,000 people in the big copper mine, the annual output of copper and stone, that is, about 2,000 catties, ten years only 20,000 catties.

Remove the 10,000 catties of copper ore on offer, and then remove the consumption and trading, the remaining copper ore is less than 5,000 catties, 10,000 catties of bronze swords and bronze knives, and 20,000 catties of bronze axes and spears, which can be called extremely expensive.

After a month in the camp, I had to stay for half a month longer than the other tribes, because when the trade fair was over, the handover of military service had to be carried out, and the work was basically completed after half a month.

Lin Tuo and Mu Lang, as well as the two thousand new arrivals, stayed in the Wang Department, and the original Lin Shuang and Lin Quan, as well as the previous two thousand people, followed Lin Lin and Mu Huo and set off, leaving the King of War Mountain.

In order to avoid the secret of the black stone, it was accidentally leaked out, and the team that came to the royal department was unarmed, and the warriors were replaced with rudimentary flint tools, and the ability warriors were replaced with inferior bronze.

Even the silk clothes were replaced with cloth clothes, and the cloth clothes were replaced with tanned animal skins to ensure that they did not arouse any suspicion, and Lin Tuo's two meteoric iron horizontal knives were also returned to Mu Huo's hands, and for ten years, they were temporarily kept for him.
