Around 2400 B.C., the germ of early civilizations began to emerge on the shores of the Broken Islands of the Aegean Sea, and early trade between the islands began, and spinnakers began to be used for short voyages on kayaks (wooden keels covered with roasted animal skins). Like the Sumerians, www.biquge.info inhabitants were belligerent and warlike to war, with the largest human colonies being the Cretan tribes in the southern Aegean Sea, who crossed the nearby islands to harass the coastal settlements of Asia Minor and the Peloponnese while waging war on the other islands.

These Cretans were not only powerful warriors and sailors, they were also creative craftsmen and artists: they would not only slaughter the human settlements along the way, but also collect additional utensils, tools, and weapons and armor scattered along the way. These imports provided the knowledge base for later generations of Cretans to establish their own civilization, and also allowed them to far surpass the human communities of other islands.

There are many explanations as to why the Cretans migrated from Crete to the Greek peninsula instead of Asia Minor, which had more suitable for growing barley, wheat, and beans. In fact, the later city of Mycenae was not close to Crete, and with Knossos as the center, Asia Minor was even closer, and the coastline here was numerous islands, which were also suitable for Cretans to replenish. So what is it that led the Cretans to choose to move to a more distant place rather than a more favorable and suitable location? ？

I'm afraid this has something to do with Hado.

After obtaining the research materials of the Egger clan, Hadu was even more low-key than before - he already rarely used his plundering abilities, and he did not easily plunder other tribes, not only that he did not need to do so, but in fact, because he felt that it was really troublesome to bring his people out to explore - and plundering other tribes would "produce" new clansmen.

And after he walked out of Mari City for a while, he suddenly reacted: the Egger clan told him that he was going to help the clan's Blue Sea Clan, and also pointed him in the direction, but it happened to not tell him how to identify the appearance of the descendants of the Egger clan, nor did he tell him how to contact the descendants of the Egger clan. In this way, Hado would only be able to identify all the human races he encountered in this direction up close.

Of course, the Iger clan is not without any characteristics: since the rune system plays a crucial role in the cultural inheritance of the Iger clan, there are no descendants of the clan who do not know how to use runes. The sigil itself is quite different from the other scripts of this era, it is neither the cuneiform of the Sumerians, nor the linear script of the Mycenaeans, nor the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt - the sigils were mainly used for engraving and engraving from the time of their origins, and this font is square and stable, easy to carve and reproduce by the liturgists, and therefore very easy to identify: just look for large inscriptions in the settlement to announce important events.

With Hado's eyesight, as long as he finds a high post to look out at the neighborhood, this kind of thing is not difficult to complete. But here's the thing. The direction pointed by the black-robed wizard was not only vague, but also the area was vast, and it was not something that could be solved by "finding a high post" at all. Ironically, thousands of years ago, Prisseff had predicted the plight of his descendants and had thought of a plan in advance, but what he could not predict was that his descendants would migrate and settle somewhere, which caused Hadu a great headache.

Just as Hado walked along the coastline to the western coastal area of the Asia Minor Peninsula, he happened to encounter a Cretan raiding team attacking the human settlement at the mouth of the River Kaystros. Although it is unlikely that he is a descendant of the Iger clan (the distance is so close that you can just ask the black-robed wizard for help), but with the idea of giving it a try, Hadu is ready to help the settlement in secret.

After all, it was a generation of great powers that ruled the steppe and eliminated wars, and Hadu felt a sense of disgust from the bottom of his heart when he saw such a ferocious tribe as the Cretans. Not only did these Cretans massacre the coastal tribes, but they also cut off the heads of all the innocent tribes and placed them outside the tribe's camp as a sign of intimidation and threat to other settlements in the vicinity, and more importantly, to mark their existing territories.

At this time, the Cretans who had plundered all the way had slaughtered the human settlements at the mouth of the ancient river in Maiandros, some of them threw the corpses of those who had lost their heads into the sea to feed the fish, and the other part carried the heads of the people of this settlement outside the camp while looting the artifacts in the camp, and piled them up into a "Jingguan" more than one person high—— It takes about 1,000 skulls to pile up a Kyokan, so that it can be piled up, and in the process of accumulation, it is also necessary to sprinkle enough wet sand on each layer, so that the Kyokan building can be tighter and stronger.

The human settlement was supposed to have more than 6,000 people, as can be seen from the six Jingguan outside the camp. The specific reason for the extermination by the Cretans is unknown, but from the perspective of weapons and supplies, the Cretans have basically achieved all-metal weaponry, and there are still a large number of stone knives and stone axes scattered in this human settlement, so the power of the weapons of the two is superior.

Quite possibly, the same was true of the settlement to the north, and Hado felt that he could no longer allow the murderous Cretans to continue to kill—he needed to find a way to deal with the murderers once and for all without exposing himself. In this era, people have gradually evolved from the primitive worship of the period of no idols to the stage of idols with specific images, and these human settlements can often be seen as a goddess as the main god, which also represents the harvest and abundance, and a young subordinate god will appear next to her, which may be the spouse or descendant of the goddess, which symbolizes the fertility closely related to the reproduction of the settlement. In the same way, there is not much difference in the direction of worship between the Cretans and these uncivilized settlements, and this is a good breakthrough: in the worship of this era, all plants and animals are sacred, and people still fear and look up to the forces of nature. If Hadu used this to launch a "biological raid" on the Cretans, then as long as the Cretans were devout enough about their own beliefs, they would naturally leave the place with interest.

The best way to do this is to find the beasts in the vicinity and control their leaders through their looting abilities, so that they can surprise the Cretan team in groups. When Hadu came all the way, he saw that there lived a northern gray wolf that loved to seize fox holes, and according to the traces he found in the forest, there should be seventeen or eighteen hundreds of wolves moving around here. Near the river valley, Hadu also found dozens of skeletons of elk with carrion on them, which were determined to have been left behind by the wolves. In this way, not only are there a large number of wolves here, but the elk population is also very large. After all, it is still difficult to directly control the head wolf in the wolf pack, but if it is to control the head deer in the elk pack, it is a relatively easy goal to achieve, and then use these elk to lure the wolf pack out, you can achieve the effect that Hadu wants.

Elk herds are also easy to find, as they generally feed in the lower reaches of the river near the delta of the estuary, where more low bushes provide them with fresh foliage and refreshing fruit. The range of wolves and elk groups meets the front of the bush on both sides of the river, and the wolves hunt lone elk. Hado, with his skillful concealment, had taken refuge in a bush where the fruit had been eaten up, waiting for the head of the elk herd to come out and choose a feeding area for the day. The bush where Hadu hid was the warmest and wettest part of the entire river area: the trees here were sparse, and the sunlight shone through the scattered canopy, making the whole place quite comfortable.

The elk came out of the woods and frolicked near the bush front, and then there was a commotion, and out of the herd came an elk with slender limbs and a particularly large number of antlers, and it was thought that this was the head deer of the elk herd. The head deer did not notice Hadu hiding in the bushes at all, and after walking within 10 steps of Hadu, Hadu activated his predatory ability to control it. Then the rest of the story is dramatic: Hadu controls the head deer to go into the range of the wolves alone, and soon after he hears a low wolf howl from the depths of the forest, and can also see a gray-black figure in the forest, and then Hadu controls the head deer out of the area of the wolves, and after a while he passes again. After repeating this several times, even the gray wolf, whose main image is wisdom and composure, could not stand such teasing, and under the leadership of several head wolves, the gray wolf pack rushed out of the forest to attack the head deer.

Then Hado took the deer and hung the wolves from the ground, all the way to the delta. There, the Cretans had assembled their ranks and were ready to continue their march towards the human settlement. At this moment, the head deer appeared in the middle of the Cretan road leading to the settlement. Even Cretan marauders, who often hunted along the coast, had never seen such a handsome elk, let alone a deer.

At this time, a very good characteristic of the elk came to the fore at the right time: fear of people. The head deer that had bumped into the Cretan was driven by his nature to flee in the other direction of the delta woods, just staggering in the direction that the wolves were chasing. The excited and surprised Cretans chased the elk according to their mythology: it is said that the place where the elk king lived was a spring that kept him alive.

As a result, the wolves and the Cretans met as expected. The wolves, when they found that they had lost their heads, roared and warned the Cretans when they saw them ready to attack, and the Cretans roared at the wolves with dissatisfaction, after all, they blocked their "shortcut" to the fabled fountain of immortality. There was no suspense about the fight: the Cretans were not afraid of the wolves, and they screamed and waved the brass daggers in their hands, and carried the melee shield they held in their other hand (a small shield that only needed to protect the position of their hearts), and rushed straight towards the wolves. Under the command of the head wolf, these gray wolves attacked the middle of the Cretan team from both sides, and engaged in a grapple with this part, so that the Cretans in the front and rear of the team did not dare to step forward at will, lest they accidentally injure their own people.

Even so, the effective number of wolves in the pack was falling sharply, and soon the fighting was no longer sustainable, and the first wolves began to anxiously call for help—they raised their heads and howled into the depths of the forest, and then heard similar voices echo from the forest. At this moment, these head wolves suddenly launched a ruthless attack, beckoning the remaining gray wolves present to break through to both sides and delay the Cretan offensive. There was also a large rustling sound in the forest, and then a large group of gray wolves came out of the forest to support the troops.

While the gray wolf was in the middle of the battle with the Cretans, Hadu had already touched the vicinity of the human settlement that was about to be attacked. The size of the settlement was small, just over 8,000 people, and even if some Cretans returned to Crete with the booty, they were no match for the more than 10,000 Cretans who stayed behind to continue plundering. Seeing that the people of the settlement, men, women, and children, were fully armed and serious, Hado had enough space to probe if there were any relics of the Egg clan in it.

Indeed, as Hadu thought, the search results showed that this was still a local indigenous person similar to the Cretans. Hadu didn't feel any disappointment in this, as he had speculated before, if there was information about the Egg clan here, then the information that the black-robed wizard had given him would not be so vague.

The people of the settlement were apparently accustomed to resisting foreign invasions—they did not look panicked or in danger at all, and waited for the Cretan attack as if they were commonplace. At this moment, however, they were a little dazed: they did not see the Cretan invaders coming to attack the city, but they saw them fighting in chaos with wolves from unknown places.

The new Gray Wolf broke up the Cretans into small warbands, which made the Cretans, who were accustomed to the rhythm of attacking with wide openings and closings, very uncomfortable, and soon turned from the upper hand to a draw. It needs to be understood that the gray wolf here also weighs close to half a human, and its rich muscle tissue can bring it plenty of power, not to mention that the bite force of the gray wolf should not be underestimated.

After a while, the gray wolf was finally defeated, and the remnants of the gray wolf dragged their scarred bodies back into the forest under the wail of the head wolf. On the other hand, the Cretans were not comfortable: the ranks of tens of thousands of people went three-tenths of the way, and more than half of the remaining 7,000 people had bite marks on their limbs, and with the medical technology of this era, these people would hardly survive more than three days if their wounds were infected (mainly from bacteria on the wolf's teeth).

At the critical moment when the Cretans were fighting back the wolves, a large group of men and women suddenly rushed out of the unknown human settlement to fight back against the invading men. The Cretans were in a weak period when they had just exhausted their strength, and now they really could not continue to fight. The style of painting is reversed all at once: the Cretans, who were originally possessed by fierce gods, have now become lost dogs that have been chased and killed, and the Cretan raiders have left behind more than 4,000 corpses, and the remaining survivors have finally returned to the kayaks they came from—many of them still have wounds on their legs, and they can only escape by wading through the sea desperately.

And the men and women who were chasing after them began to clean up the battlefield at this moment: the Cretans lost their armor and gave them a large number of weapons and armor, not to mention the large group of slain gray wolves, whether it was fur or flesh, which was a good thing to replenish the settlement.

It seems that the colony's ability to defend and survive has been greatly enhanced, but in fact Hadu is very clear: this group of Cretans who have escaped by chance will definitely lead a larger force to re-attack the camp, and with their number of less than 10,000 people, they will certainly not be able to defend against the decisive offensive of the Cretans.

Hadu took a closer look at the surroundings, whether it was crystal clear waters, vast, elegant white sand beaches, verdant green jade bushes, or fertile deltas, there were too many landscapes that the grasslands did not have. For so many years, Hadu has been accustomed to exploring life in a hurry and nervously, and after watching the research of the Egger clan, he is very cheerful: he does not have to live so tightly at all, and he can give himself some space to relax, so that he can draw more insights about his predatory ability, and also allow himself to have time to use and test the boundaries of his ability peacefully, especially after knowing the experimental method, this kind of thing is more efficient.

Of course, it can also be said to help people to the end, and Hadu decided to stay here for the time being, at least to help this lucky settlement survive the next war safely - if it is a decisive battle, then the tactics of using wolves to "surprise attack" are not applicable. He still needs to use the stretch abilities he has already acquired, for example, earthquakes and tsunamis are good methods. But if the Cretans are to remember their wounds, rather than raiding them one after another, they must devise a suitable idol according to the system of worship that prevails in the region, and use the power of the idol to warn the Cretans to stay away from this "holy" land.

It occurred to Hadu that the king elk was really good.
