Chapter 40: Hadu in the Twilight of Heroes

Contestants are not allowed to wear anything other than covering their hips, nor can they carry any weapons and armor, and they will be disqualified if they are found. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, if you are an old hunter with leg problems and scars, it is also permissible to use protective gear on specific parts of the body.

Hadu had arrived at a small wrestling field in the northernmost part of the camp, and he planned to start with the wrestling route—the most recent and most troublesome way, after all, the fighting arena was in the south of the camp. After all, he came to the competition with a playful mind, and Hadu didn't plan to give full play to his strength: once he was noticed by Mordo, they would quickly invite him to the leader's seat, and then there would be no play.

There are three types of primary wrestling: carrying a slate, carrying a log on your shoulder, and throwing a spear.

There are 40 slabs from light to heavy, 1 person heavy, 2 people heavy, 5 people heavy, 10 people heavy and 25 people heavy, and the rules are also very simple: take the stone slabs at the camp on the side of the mountain, and then transport them to the freshwater pool 100 steps away, and allow 20 transports, so that the one with the most total weight of the slate is selected. The establishment of this event is not only to test the weight bearing capacity of the athletes, but also to test the management ability of the athletes in terms of power distribution. In order to achieve the maximum total weight, it is necessary to distribute the weight of each slab transported, which requires the player to be very clear about his weight capacity and his physical limits. It can be seen very simply that it is easier to exert force at the beginning, and the more you go to the back, the more difficult it is to exert force, and in the end, of course, there is no strength. Therefore, how to ensure that the total weight can be maximized at the end of the whole delivery process, even if the project is at its core.

In the tribe, it is not very powerful to lift a stone slab weighing 1 person, after all, the total weight of weapons and armor under full armament is close to 1 person; but the stone slab weighing 2 people can be lifted much less, most of them are mining transportation teams or old hunters who are accustomed to carrying work to know how to work efficiently; as for 5 people heavy stones, then only the most powerful of the guards can carry them, walking 100 steps is not a problem, but it is probably impossible to go back and forth so many times. As for the 10-person weight and 25-person weight, the former is more used for large ballasts when using the lever principle, while the latter can only be carried by Hado.

That is to say, if you transport 20 times and the total weight of 20 people is quite simple, the threshold of the minimum total weight is therefore set at 40 people, and you need to move 20 pieces of 2 heavy stone slabs to be hit. However, it is not necessary to exceed 40 people to qualify, but to reach the highest total weight in this competition area to be able to qualify.

And when Hadu came to the competition area, he could already see that there were up to 67 people on the side of the pool, and if he wanted to break this record, and then it would not be broken again, then he would have to exceed half of the record to be invincible, that is, 100 people would come out again. But if it is transported according to this standard, it is not necessary to say that it is necessary to carry a stone slab weighing 5 people at a time - it is strange to say that it is not outstanding. Therefore, he had to lower the standard and set it at a more dangerous level of 80 people.

There's no limit to the number of entries you can take – if you find out that someone has broken your record and you're not convinced, you can do it again. Hadu took off his armor, foot guards and other armor, unloaded his weapon, and walked to the area where the stones were stacked, and then trotted down a two-person heavy stone in one hand to the pool in front of the stunned expressions of others. Speaking of which, the clansmen have a small misunderstanding about this project: everyone thinks that they can only carry one stone slab at a time, but in fact there is no such restriction in the rules, and those who can move 1 person weight + 40 hands may not be able to get the maximum total weight because of this misunderstanding.

Unlike other clansmen, it is not like other clansmen who need to bend over and hunch over to make it stronger, I saw Hadu quickly go back and forth between two o'clock, and he walked easily with both hands on the slate, and it didn't take long to put the stone slab weighing a total of 80 people completely in the designated place. The nearby clansmen all looked at Hadu in surprise: no matter how easy it is, it won't be done so quickly. Several young people wanted to go over to see if the stone slabs were real, but they couldn't lift a two-person stone slab together, so they stared at Hadu with even more shocked eyes.

Not only was the project easy to complete, but it was easy to get the guards who were with him to carry the logs on their shoulders, and the spears were thrown with great precision, which was not a problem at all for Hado. And advancing to the core of the tribe is just a matter of repeating these steps, and then the comprehensive competition of the seeded players in martial arts and wrestling.

The so-called fighting is to test the fighting ability of the players, which is divided into one-on-one, one-to-many and many-to-many. However, instead of fighting in the ring like today's sanda or boxing, the fighters wear some markers and are required to win the most marks in the number of rounds. After all, it is to choose the leader, and it needs to be more of a big picture than really going to the front line to fight offensive and defensive battles, as long as you win in competition, you can become a leader, it is more simple and rude than the needs of the times.

The standard of martial arts is very interesting: each player wears a yellow wood chip on his chest, an orange wood chip on his back, and a mahogany chip on his abdomen, and each player has three wood chips on their bodies, and after 6 one-on-one, 3 one-to-many and 1 many-to-many competition, they get the promotion with the largest total number of wood chips. Speaking of which, the difficulty of promotion in fighting martial arts is much higher than that of wrestling: one-on-one, one-to-many is fine, that is, it depends on whether you have the ability to fight, you can constantly swim to prevent your wood chips from being captured by the other party, and then you can wait for the opportunity to get one or two pieces; Therefore, the rational selection of opponents, the management of the wood chips in their hands, and the idea of how to exchange interests are the core ideas of this fight.

Hado's promotion speed was fast, he arrived at midnight, and it took less than 1 month to ascend to enter the core of the field. Arriving at the heart of the tribe, near the rebuilt leader's tower, Hado saw his brother Mordo standing on the tower watching the game below, and his sister, who had heard that her body was declining, sitting around a campfire wrapped in tight fur. Hado's eyes were full of the warmth of being reunited with his family, but it was more important for him to win enough glory on the field now - he had just noticed that the new generation of lads were looking at him with admiration. Hado does think that it is absolutely a serious thing to re-ascend to the position of leader through legitimate competition, and as for what he will do to the old top management after he returns to the throne, it depends on how both sides deal with it at that time.

Hadu retracted the fluctuations in his mind and put his consciousness back on the field, and the next thing he had to face was a comprehensive match of martial arts and wrestling, that is: weight-bearing fighting. It is similar to ordinary martial arts, except that the player needs to carry 40 handfuls of weight, and the number of three wood chips on his body has been increased to five. There is a scuffle where the player with the most chips comes out first to become the first seed, and then the competition continues and the second to sixteenth places are determined. Then there is a one-to-many competition, or a pair of fifteen people, under the siege of fifteen people, as much as possible to ensure that the wood chips in their hands are not snatched, and the players who still have the wood chips in their hands within one month of promotion will be promoted. Finally, there is the most talked-about one-on-one competition, where the contestants will face off in the tower, and the player who defeats all other opponents will go directly to the top of the tower to claim the position of leader. !

Among the fighters involved in the melee were Mordo's descendants, as well as veteran hunters and riders who were slightly younger than Hado. There is no need to worry about cheating or appointing a leader at the top - because there is no such thing as a top at all, and everyone wants to elect someone with real practical ability, and the people of this era are simple enough not to worry about problems that only arise now.

Entering the melee circle, Hado saw that there were hundreds of players who had successfully advanced here, most of them chose to fight for promotion, and only a very small number of clansmen with only death strength were promoted from wrestling. Therefore, when Hado first entered the melee circle, many players thought that he had no ability to fight, and rushed over to fight for the wood chips on his body. And those old hunters who have been fighting for a living all year round are much more steady, but they are not as frivolous as these young people, and they don't know the depth of Hadu and rush to deliver food.

Hado, who has a variety of top-level physiques, nimbly moves among the young hunters, silently plucking the highest amount of wood chips on their chests from time to time. There are 102 players on the field, each with 5 yellow wood chips, which is a total of 510 pieces, and the one who gets 10 of them, or 51 pieces, will be able to get the first seeded place - which is also the best result in the 1-month promotion period. And Hadu, who was still playful, was not in a hurry, and finally fell to the fifteenth place.

The sixteen seeded players lined up in a row, and then Mo Guo said some words of encouragement, and when he walked to Hadu, he suddenly stopped, and then the fire next to him carefully looked at Hadu's appearance, on the other hand, Hadu-this guy directly had a cute expression, and it seemed that an elderly hunter was very excited, very excited to enter the seed round. Mo Du observed for a while, and did not wait for Hadu's "recognition", so he had to shake his head gently, thinking in his heart about his brother who had been out for many years and had not returned, and continued to lecture in disappointment.

In the next one-to-many competition, Hado "had no danger" to reach the quarterfinals, and then hit the top of the tower layer by layer, where Mordo has been waiting for a long time.

And then—

Well..

Well..

Well.. Mo Du was very unhappy and scolded Hadu loudly, but Hadu was happy that he could finally reunite with his relatives.

Since Hadu "went well" to sit back as leader, it meant that the best of the Egger clan had been frustrated, but don't worry, they still have a plan for the worst-case scenario - the scenario that Prisseff had built with his predatory abilities began to work on Hadu, who was still in the dark, causing him to give his first order back home:

"In order to prevent the recurrence of leaderlessness in the future, we will build a new leadership system with experience and ability based on the total number of people in the current population, with a ratio of 70:1. ”

Now that Shin'ne-Nu has a total population of about 9,000 people, the new boss system will produce 1,400 new leaders, corresponding to the good and evil values captured by Plisseford. According to Hadu's vision, the 1,400 new leaders will exercise tribal leadership in his absence, so that there will be no excessive concentration of power, unequal distribution of resources, and no sense of leadership and no goal to move forward.

So what is the main aspect of Plisseford's layout? It can be seen from four aspects:

First, he formed a "high-level system" in his speculation. Even though there was no concept of a top in "Shin'ne-Nu", after constructing a specific scenario, Hado still came up with the idea of "acting leadership", thus establishing an actual top management that did not exist in the first place;

Second, it has left a foreshadowing for the next generation layout. Comparing the strength of "Shin'ne-Nu" and "Nil-lo", in terms of population alone, the former is more than 5 times that of the latter, even if the Iger clan wants to fight to the death, there is no chance of winning, but at this time, Hadu is completely unaware of the layout of the Iger clan, and the other party is still relatively friendly on the way home, especially in terms of the tribal situation, which makes the Iger clan already have the friendship of Hado and "Shin'ne-Nu" in the future;

3. It laid the foundation for the future disintegration of "Shin'ne-Nu". Due to the formation of a new leader system that is different from ordinary clansmen (there is no difference between the original chiefs and ordinary clansmen in terms of status), this makes tribal resources inevitably tilted towards the new chiefs, while ordinary clansmen can obtain fewer resources, which increases the contradiction and estrangement between the two actual classes;

Fourth, the risk of cannibalization of "Shin'ne-Nu" has been reduced. With Hadu regaining his position as chieftain, the relationship between the two clans will only become closer, and the Egger clan will be able to infiltrate the "Shin'ne-Nu" in a more peaceful way, and eat and take cards as they are suitable, satisfying their best interests.

As for Hadu, after regaining his position as chief, a scout reported to him that the Iger clan was wandering along the outer edge of the tribal border, which made Hadu very happy: this old man thought that Prisseff was afraid that something would happen to him, and sent people outside the tribe to be ready to pick him up at any time. He hurriedly called for a quick cavalry to lead a group of fast cavalry out of the camp to meet the other party, and before the leader of the team Ovokukodd could react, Hadu thanked all kinds of excitement, and it took a while for Ovukokold, who understood the whole process of the matter, to be secretly afraid in his heart - it was so dangerous that he did not impulsively attack the opponent's camp, otherwise it would have been a mistake. Hearing Hadu's gratitude, he also took advantage of the situation and told Hadu "The friendship between the two races lasts forever" and other polite words.

After that, the main task was to build and select a suitable new leader, and during this time, Hadu heard about the people's vision of returning to their homeland in the grassland, and prepared to go back to find out the situation of the old site after the construction and selection work was completed.

But it took almost 30 years to get close to completion, and the key point was that Hadu had been in the tribe and the new leader system had no chance to play a role, resulting in extremely slow progress in training for the acting leadership – and of course because Hadu was too demanding.

At the age of 87, Hado's body functions have begun to decline, and if he doesn't return to his old site, he may not be able to walk. Hearing that Hadu was preparing to return to the grasslands, Prisseff thought that another good opportunity had been born: if he could take advantage of Hado's dying time to obtain all the things he had plundered over the years, it would be a very good foreshadowing for the future generations of the Egger clan. However, in order to prevent any unnecessary problems, he decided that the deputy patriarch Owokukod would accompany him.

Hearing that the Egger clan wanted to protect him, Hadu was grateful: he was indeed old, he was no longer young, and if he continued to insist on his various abilities, it would be reckless. Before leaving, Prisseff privately "advised" Hadu that because his brother was greedy, he would not let him sit in the patriarch's position, and if there was any offense during the trip, he would ask Hadu to bear with him, and if necessary, he could teach this money addict a good lesson. Hadu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this—this was the secret of the Egg clan.

Therefore, Hadu did not intend to bring any more guards this time, but just rode his old buddy, and set off with the 100 cavalry led by Ovukode. Most of the people in the team are of a certain age, just like Ovokukod is over 60 years old, so the team is not moving fast, and the short 30 ascending and falling trips have been forced out of 90 ascending and falling - of course, it should be understood that various original roads were flooded by water. By the time they arrived at the grassland, the foot of the "Falie" mountain had become a vast lake, and the lush pastures of the past had long since disappeared. Hadu was a little disappointed, so he went to the cave

In addition to the fact that the entrance to the cave was covered with grass stems, Hadu recognized the rune he had carved on the outside of the cave: "He-Du_Yiheb'be". After entering the cave, due to the strong ventilation, the cave ** is still very dry, and the tunnel that requires the cat's waist to enter is also well preserved. This time, Hado used magnetic control to expand the passage with iron tools, so that there was no need to drill in and out of the iron - and the still hard black mineral basically broke the iron tools that Hadu carried. As Hadu cast his magnetic control, Owokukod's eyes flashed with a scarlet gaze.

Once inside the cave, Hado quickly found the bones of his parents: they were still peacefully together at the last moment. After burying the remains of his parents, Hadu entered the cave again, but sat on the pier in the cave.

He suddenly felt so tired.

I'm so tired.

He knew that he might not die soon.

At this time, the men and horses of the Egger clan surrounded them with a fierce light in their eyes.
