Chapter 20: The Only Prairie Tribe

Even in the midst of a decisive battle, the "Yo-Fo-Hi" left some infantry to patrol around the tribe, which was of course defenseless to Hado, especially since the moon had not yet risen after the dark sunset. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info observed the location of the "clan village" of this large tribe - it is basically impossible for ordinary clansmen to exist here - and vigorously bent the cold cypress under him, and then followed the rebound force over the wooden wall of the camp, soared to the sky above the clan, and then twisted his body, grabbed the top of the tribal flag at the top of the "clan village" with his hands, and then slid lightly along its outer wall to the ground, without alarming any nearby enemies.

What Hadu is going to do is to light a fire in this "clan village" that "will not be useful in the future", and then he will guard the only way for the enemy clan to rescue the "clan village", and just control the enemy one by one. The tribe was full of women and children who were handling food by the light of the fire, and the tribe's water source was about 50 paces outside the camp, and when the fire broke out, only the infantry patrolling outside the camp could quickly draw water to extinguish the fire. As long as all the forces in the tribe are controlled, the remaining women and children are not a threat.

One reason Hadu was so cautious was that he didn't know if the tribe would communicate remotely when they encountered enemy forces. The telecommunications used in this era were nothing more than burning animal manure or making a loud noise, the latter of which was not to be thought of, there were not enough people here to make a loud enough shout, but Hado had seen four or five piles of cow and sheep dung outside the tribe. He could not risk getting the enemy to report on their front, so he had to choose such a safer method.

Even if there were no other clansmen in the vicinity of the "clan", Hadu could not use flint to make a fire in a secluded camp, and his sound was not small. After some observation, he noticed that there was no one guarding the campfire where the dried venison was dried, and that no one else would notice it even if he walked there, so he slowly lurked over, took a stick, wrapped it around the skins that were drying on the side, and stretched it out to light it. In doing this, his strong night vision allows him to clearly see the general situation of his surroundings and prevent anyone from detecting them.

Fortunately, although there were children in the tribe playing and running, no one noticed Hado, who was hiding in the shadows and igniting the fire. He walked briskly back to the "clan village" with a torch, and then stuffed the torch into the animal skin fence outside the "clan village" to protect himself from the wind, and then hid in the small hut where the "clan village" stored food.

The fire gradually grew bigger. Hides are a very flammable material, and when they burn, they emit thick smoke and a pungent stench, and as the fire spreads quickly, anyone who smells it will definitely notice the place where the fire is burning.

However, to Hadu's surprise, the first thing to come to check was not the soldiers patrolling outside—the wooden door of the "clan" opened, and a hunter in a nondescript appearance ran out: a mane on his head that only an old patriarch could wear, a cane made of birch or mahogany in his hand, and a necklace made of the fangs of a tiger around his neck. But the other party's age is not quite right, he is only in his early 25s, and he does not have the aging and slow appearance of the old patriarch.

Hadu was also stunned when he saw the other party, but when he heard the other party screaming and beckoning the soldiers to come to put out the fire, he continued to hide in place and not make a sound.

When the soldiers heard the sound, they all came to put out the fire with the curly leaves full of river water, but because the "clan village" was far away from the border of the camp, when the first batch of soldiers brought water, the fire had already spread to the second floor of the "clan village", and it was still expanding. It is difficult to extinguish this fire with water alone, and someone has to go and tear off the flammable materials on its exterior wall to control the fire - but how can people in this era understand these things? ?

Hadu stared at the soldiers who had come to put out the fire, and saw that they were constantly carrying water from the river, and even the women and children in the camp rushed over to participate in the transportation of the river. Gradually, the area close to the "clan village" was filled with soldiers with the strength to splash water on the high ground of fire, and Hado knew that his chance had come.

The soldiers of the clan were in a hurry to put out the fire, and no one noticed that Hadu had quietly walked among them. Including the strangely dressed middle-aged man, Hadu completely controlled the enemy's remaining troops. The moment they were plundered, the soldiers who were desperately splashing water all stopped, and the fire in front of them did not keep splashing water to control it, and suddenly it became violent again.

By the time the plundered soldiers came to their senses, the "clan" had burned to the point that only a wooden shelf glowing with sparks remained. During this time, Hadu took advantage of the shadows created by the fire in the camp to constantly wander among the women and children, and soon controlled the entire camp.

At this time, Hadu had time to ask the middle-aged man in strange clothes curiously, and after some questioning, he learned that before the end of the snow season, the old patriarch of the tribe had died, and in order to ensure the normal progress of the affairs of the clan, they chose the second son of the old patriarch to take his place - this middle-aged man was also an elite hunter with two divine notes.

Further control of the "Yo-Fo-Hi" tribal camp was handed over to an accompanying infantry force, and Hadu turned non-stop in the direction of the "Pu-So-Hun" tribe.

In the grasslands, only the "Pu-So-Hun" and the "Yo-Fo-Hi" are two tribes with a special relationship: the latter has more than 3,000 more people than the former, but they have been able to live together for so many years without occupying each other's camps. Hadu also had this question, but when he reached the altitude of the former tribe, these doubts were all gone.

Obviously, the Pu-So-Hun tribe is very hardy and can survive for so long on such a windy mountain - and the snow season is only colder, and the fire season is not much warmer. On the contrary, it is more difficult for the tribesmen who have lived in this temperature for a long time to adapt to the warmer places - except for the Heavy Hunter, which is already very hot.

After sending out the elite warriors of the tribe, the only thing that can be used to defend the other side against foreign enemies is the harsh environment, and the stone-skinned horned rhinoceros that feeds outside the camp all year round. These beasts are not fierce beasts, they are relatively docile and do not actively attack other creatures without being provoked.

Instead of letting the infantry follow, Hadu sneaked outside the camp alone. The howling cold wind blew strongly against his body, and even his strong physique could clearly feel that his physical strength was rapidly draining. However, the stone-skinned horned rhinoceros leaning down to sleep in the bushes in front of him did not see any cold at all, but snored comfortably, which made Hado's eyes shine: not only fierce beasts have stronger physical qualities than humans, but this kind of beast that grows freely in extreme environments also has the value of being plundered.

Even though Hadu had come to his side at hand, the sleeping stone-skinned horned rhinoceros still didn't react, instead let out a cute grunt or two as if he was in a dream. Hadu didn't continue to get closer to the other party, but stopped exactly 10 paces away, his eyes staring at the beast, and the words "Plundering Stone-skinned Horned Rhinoceros, Goodwill +1600, Malice +1600" already appeared in his eyes. He didn't wait any longer, but directly activated the predatory ability, and in this moment, he felt that his surroundings were no longer cold, and his skin was becoming more and more firm. Before he could test his newly acquired physical fitness, the stone-skinned horned rhinoceros that he had plundered woke up in horror. It was shocked to find that it actually felt cold. And it was bone-chilling, and it could feel that the windy side of itself was about to freeze. It didn't know what was going on, and it didn't know what to do about it. Suddenly, it felt the sensation of hot wind in the human camp over there—a large fire that had been set up for vigil on the other side. As if it had suddenly found its target, it swung its bloated body and surged forward, trying to smash through the obstacle with its solid skin as it normally would. It staggered headlong into the wooden façade, but to its surprise: it felt pain. Something made of wood.,It's a hit-and-fly on weekdays.。。 Why is it so unbearable today? ?

Of course, the stone-skinned horned rhinoceros still made a hole in the wall, but it itself was knocked to pieces, and gradually fell to the ground without moving as its physical strength was consumed.

Hearing the loud noise of the wall, the Pu-So-Hun tribesmen immediately ran out to see what was going on, and then they saw the dead stone-skinned horned rhinoceros and the broken wall, and looked around, but could not find Hadu hiding in the bushes within a distance of 20 paces. The cold wind at night was so strong that the people who had come out to inquire had no choice but to plug the breach with stones and hides, and wait until the wind subsided in the morning.

After a while, the last quarter moon began to move into the middle of the sky, and Hado felt that most of the camp had fallen asleep again, and prepared to burrow through the breach. The missing piece of the wall in the foundation was not very stable, and it was blown and swayed by the wind, and it made a "click" sound on the other walls, just enough to cover Hadu's entry into the camp.

By the time he came out again, it had been done, and some of the people of "Pu-So-Hun" woke up and were ordered by him to separate the corpse of the stone-skinned horned rhinoceros in the cold wind. The skin of this beast, which had been robbed of its physical fitness, was no longer as thick as before, and it was pierced by a stone knife, and the progress of dividing the meat was not slow.

After daybreak, Hado and his infantry searched the camp and found a large number of stone-skinned horned rhinoceros skins that were being artificially processed, ready to be sent over during the assembly of the Coalition forces. It was definitely a good infiltration path, and the result was exactly what he expected: it was only half a rise and fall time to ride a horse to the perimeter of "Luo-Fe-Yon", and before noon Hadu escorted the new armor to the perimeter of the Alliance army.

Then it's time to have lunch with the hunters.

Then it was time to send the armor code to the logistics troops.

Then there is the leader of the plundering logistics chief, who escorts him to meet the leaders of the four tribes.

Then it was time to complete the plundering of the few remaining large tribes in the steppe.

At this point, Hadu has completed the unification of all the large tribes of the steppe (let's think of "Ka-Sin-Ki" as a large tribe), and in addition to the 900 tribesmen who have disappeared, the "Shin'ne-Nu" now has 2,4600 people. After the unification of the main population was completed, more than 9,000 dwarf horses, healthy horses, red mountain horses, and domesticated short-haired horses were obtained, and the total number of domesticated falcons, hyenas, milk-producing bison, and captive horned sheep was about 4,000, and more than 4,700 weapons such as copper blades, thorns, axes, and spears were seized, and about 3,300 major ores were found in various tribes, and a total of 60,000 people were allocated semi-seasonal rations of livestock, stored grain, cellar fruits, and air-dried fruits. The old patriarch had 1,500 sets of canes.

After completing the unification work, the remaining small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland will be subdued by the large tribes they originally attached to, and when the time comes, the leaders and leaders of these small and medium-sized tribes will be gathered to complete the plunder.

Now that the grasslands have been reintegrated into a large family called "Shin'ne-Nu", the relocation and resettlement of the various tribes has become the main task in the next stage. With Falie as one end and towers on the other, Hadu's idea was to move to the middle of the two ends of the less well-placed tribes, such as "Bi-Man-Sje", "Fu-Ril-Kue" and "Yo-Fo-Hi", to move them from the somewhat barren mountains or taiga to the fertile river banks, and for the "Luo-Fe-Yon" and "Mu-Tua-Yin" Due to its remote location (the farthest point in both directions), some of the tribesmen will be relocated to the vicinity of the tower, and the original site will be transformed into a fortress or training ground for purely military and storage purposes, while the "Cin-Din-Ta" tribe, which has built a complete living system in the cave, may expand the original cave to meet the cold needs of most of the tribe when the snow season comes, and "Pu-So-Hun", which has become accustomed to the alpine climate The tribe, Hado plans to expand their camp in the mountains, to remodel it in the direction of the stronghold as much as possible, and if possible, to try domesticating the fossilized skinned horned rhinoceros, so that there is a powerful wild force to wield.

The establishment of Shin'ne-Nu meant that there was no longer any brutal fighting and killing among the great tribes on the steppe, but Hado did not feel any relief from this: on the contrary, he felt a deep sense of crisis in his heart. It seems that something has not been done, or there is a hazy feeling of "only being in this mountain", so that he can't clearly see the current situation.

With this kind of thought, it means that Hadu has stood on an immortal height in this era, but due to the limitations of his age, experience, vision, and ideological level, he has not yet been able to raise the height of his thinking about things to all the human races of his time.

In fact, his sense of crisis can be understood as "the high-level infection of the confused mood of the times": he simply got rid of the original worship of the "false gods" of the people, but did not activate new beliefs for them, that is, he rudely cut off their future. The main reason for this was that Hado acted on his own instincts, not only did he not calm down to think about the consequences of doing so, but he also did not delve into the future path with his people after the plunder. And when the plundering was completed and the grassland was about to be dominated, Hadu looked back and found that the language and writing on the grassland were so scarce that even if he had a slight understanding of the way forward in his heart, it was difficult to express it completely, efficiently and extensively. His motivation for depriving his people of the belief in "false gods" was more his questioning of the existence of these "gods", but he never considered the fundamental role of primitive worship in this era. Now, the confusion of the tribesmen about their future life is directly written on their faces, although they still carry out the relocation operation step by step, tear down the original camp and rebuild it on new territory; those who hunt continue to hunt, those who dig continue to mine, those who open mountains continue to open mountains, soldiers patrol outside the tribe to guard against the invasion of wild beasts, women and children continue to process livestock, grain and fruits. However, it was such a rather peaceful state of life, but it was as if something important was missing, and the people began to become numb, and their eyes no longer had the sparkle of longing for the future.

The initiator of this holistic state of "Shin'ne-Nu" has not yet been able to see clearly the problems and troubles he will encounter, and he now has a more important task to do: collecting, organizing, and standardizing the language and writing system of the integrated tribes. In order to be able to do this better and reduce the interference of other affairs, he "slightly" used his existing "privilege" to let his father, mother, brother and sister move in with him in the tower.

Standardizing the language is a very tedious and time-consuming matter, and Hado first needs to visit the current Shinjuku camps of the original tribes, not only to ask the original high-level leaders of these tribes, but also to ask about the extent to which the original runes are widely circulated among the people, the accuracy of pronunciation, the clansmen's own understanding of the characters, and the number of characters that the tribesmen can remember on average, the characters they usually use, and the vocabulary that is most lacking in communication.

In addition, the naming of the main terrain, orientation, and watershed should also be carried out simultaneously, and the camp of "Shin'ne-Nu" is so large that it exists from the source of the main stream to the downstream, and in addition to the "Fayeol" mountain range, there are also other mountains, forests, fruit forests, shrubs, pasture areas, There are more than one aquatic and grass area, and there will inevitably be obstacles in the actual description, which requires collecting the original description methods of each constituent tribe and making relevant changes suitable for the new character system, which not only ensures the original language characteristics, but also facilitates the textualization.

Before undertaking these elaborate inquiries, however, Hado needed to sort out the linguistic systems of the steppes – and it was absolutely crucial to analyze the existing linguistic symbolic systems.
