After making contact with the natives he had met, Hado realized that it was not his target Egger clan that he had been tracking down along the way, but the Zikern clan mentioned by Prisseford's vision. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In Prisseford's account, the Zikern clan are a murderous, murderous, and uncivilized human race, but along the way, Hadu discovers that they are actually on the run. It stands to reason that in this era, most of the races that can organize plundering operations can survive better, but the Zikenn clan is the target of being hunted down, which is also what puzzles him: what caused the Zikeen clan to travel thousands of miles, preferring to go around to the extremely cold land, even at the expense of serious attrition of the clan. ？

Hadu was received by the current patriarch of the Zikern clan, Sburin Zikern. Hearing that Hadu had come all the way to this place, it was not surprising that he would run alone to this cold place. Sblin was clever enough not to ask Hado about his intentions, what he saw in Hadu were traces of reversing the years: deep gaze, condensed aura, and disproportionate youth, which should not have appeared in the same person, then the only possibility was that this person had the ability to resist time - or rather, the other party had the ability to pred.

Those who plunder are by no means good at it, this sentence is transparent. Without knowing Hado's depths, Sblin would not rush to ask questions that should not be asked. He simply invited the distant visitor to a reception dinner in order to test the banquet.

The difference between the Zikern clan and the Egger clan can be seen from this: the former is more conservative and cautious in its attitude towards the outside world, and does not have the same long-term open and aggressive policies as the latter.

As usual, Hadu had no sense of secrecy at all, and he spat out everything clearly, and what he said surprised Sblin and exchanged his views and the information that the Zikon clan had. From Sbling's account, Hadu learned that Prisseff had told him half of the story, and that it was a secret between the two clans.

As Prisseff said, as soon as the Egger clan met the Zikern clan, they were killed by the other party, which is actually a statement that conceals the facts. In fact, the two tribes can even be said to be the same group, although it is more accurate to say that the two tribes have lived together for a long time, intermarried, and jointly carried out research on predatory ability.

At that time, just 100,000 years after the end of the Quaternary Ice Age, the Zikon clan had already gained the ability to plunder before they had left the primitive Australopithecus stage. However, due to the lack of language and writing, and the low brain capacity of apes at that time, the learning ability was also poor, and they did not develop and use predatory abilities well. Even so, the ability to predatory was inherited through procreation and contributed to the growth of the Zikern clan in later generations.

It was not until 140,000 years ago that the Zikon clan entered the early Homo sapiens period, established the Zikon culture in South Asia (near present-day Karachi, Pakistan), produced more advanced stone tools and weapons, and began to appear early murals.

About 60,000 years ago, the Ice Age began to fall, and South Asia, which had been warm, began to become cold and windy. Due to environmental factors, the Zikern culture began to migrate, and its tribe was divided into three ethnic branches, which were to North Africa, Southeast Asia, and East Asia.

20,000 years ago, this ethnic group migrated to North Africa and encountered the Egger culture, which had also taken refuge in North Africa, from the vast plains of Western Europe. When the two clans met, there was a battle at first, and then the leaders of the two clans found that the other was able to use their plundering powers, so they laid down their weapons and came together. It is a rare blessing to be able to meet a foreigner in a similar situation in a harsh environment. In this way, the two communities settled together in the Sinai Peninsula.

Due to the great differences between the two tribes in terms of basic pronunciation and mural painting methods, in the end, the two tribes did not come together completely, but only agreed to intermarriage and mixed living, and blurred the boundaries of the camp to better communicate.

It was not until around 1,2000 BC that the Zikern culture began to reorganize, moving from primitive groups to a period of matrilineal clan communes. It was also from this time that the Zikon rune matured and was quickly adopted by other surrounding clans. However, the runes of this period were still crude and simple, and there were still very few words that could be expressed, so the Egger clan did not adopt them comprehensively, but only conservatively learned them by the upper echelons of the patriarchal level. Because of this, the Egger clan has a relatively slow rate of cultural development, and is significantly weaker than the Zikern clan in terms of clan community size.

By this time, the Zikon clan had begun extensive research into their predatory abilities, and one of their main subjects was the Egger clan people around them. As a result, the population of the Egger clan plummeted over a period of about 500 years. In the end, the Zikern clan's heavy blood debt was discovered by the Egger clan, but the Egger clan was entangled in those who did not have the ability to plunder, and the Egger clan could only endure humiliation.

One day in 1,1230 BCE, a fisherman of the Iger clan gained the ability to plunder, and he was the first patriarch of the Iger clan, Tam Bird Egger, who was killed by the Zikern clan when he gained the ability to plunder. Tam Ming Bird unleashed earth-shattering wind and sand and fire tornadoes, and in a few breaths he wiped out the Zikern people closest to the Egger clan, and the remaining Zikon clan was also driven out of his original stronghold.

Because of this catastrophe, the Zikon clan was scattered, some of them fled to the grasslands northeast of the Sahara to hide, others fled to Asia Minor, and some fled to the coast of West Africa.

In later years, the Zikon clan, which had redeveloped in Asia Minor, still had some contact with the Egger clan, and there was intermarriage and trade between the two clans, but the mixed habits of the past were no longer the same. For some unknown reason, the Iger clan seems to have experienced a devastating blow and suddenly disappeared from the Sinai Peninsula, leaving only the ruins of their original address. Without the suppression of the Egger clan, the Zikern clan developed rapidly, and in the next 800 years moved from Asia Minor to the valley of the two rivers, and seized the dominance of the valley.

Attracted by the fertile soil of the Two Rivers Valley, more human races have come from all over the country, and the Zikon Clan, as the lord of the Two Rivers Valley, offers to rule over them and protect them from natural disasters. While counting the small clans, they noticed the nomadic horse team of the Egg clan who had returned again. Fearing that the Egger clan would make a comeback and develop a powerful force, the Zikon clan began to suppress the former in various forms, and finally succeeded in forcing the other party away.

Later, Hadu took the "Nin-Ham'me" tribe with him, which led to the revolt of the small and medium-sized clans under Zikon's rule, and Zikon's predatory ability at that time was quite young, and he was unable to resist the attacks of other clans, as a result, the tribe in the two river basins was wiped out, and a small number of people fled to Asia Minor, crossed the Bosphorus, and settled on the Black Sea coast.

And when Prisseff obtained the map provided by Hado, he began to explore the blue ocean. Among them, the Blue Sea Clan, led by Prisseff, encountered the descendants of the Zikern clan in the Black Sea, and the two sides had a fierce battle, which ended with the defeat and escape of the Zikern clan. Prissefud ordered some of his tribe to pursue and finish off the remnants of Zikern, while he himself continued to lead Egg's tribe on their quest to the shores of the Blue Sea.

In order to escape from the pursuers of the Egger clan, the Zikenn clan at that time came up with a decisive method to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred: to lead the opponent to the cold Arctic Circle. Since the Zikern clan had made great explorations of the Ural Mountains very early on, preparations had been made in that cave beforehand. After the success of the multi-step lure plan, the Egger clan was led to the polar regions, during which the Zikon clan was reduced to nearly overthrow, and finally only 25 people were left out of the tundra.

Scandinavia was chosen because the Zikern clan took a fancy to the cold - there were basically no foreigners who would actively explore this area, which reduced the chance of finding them. That's why Sblin was so surprised to hear about Hadu's findings.

Hadu was silent about the Zikern clan's experience: he didn't believe the other party's account very much, because in the visions left by Prisseff, there was a very clear image of the terrible monster created by the Zikern clan. In this way, it is likely that Sbling's account of being hunted down by the Iger clan is a deliberate fabrication by him in order to sow discord between Hadu and the Iger clan. Hadu was skeptical of Sbling's claims.

And what surprised and subverted Hadu the most was that the Zikon clan was likely to be the predecessor of the steppe tribes. Sblin specifically said that the creator god they believed in was called "Ben-Mao'ol", which exactly coincided with the name of the creator god of the steppe tribes. If the steppe tribes were not descendants of the Zikern clan, then such a coincidence was unlikely to occur.

Another important evidence is the rune system used by the Zikern clan, compared with the simplified runes implemented by Hadu, the Zikon runes are more ancient and cumbersome, and the ideographic ability is also poor, but it has to be said that the two have a strong homology - if the Zikern clan and the steppe tribe are not related, then the homology will not be so strong, whether it is the divine note runes, or the long sound, short tone and double short tone, are so similar.

As for why Hadu remained suspicious, it was mainly due to the conflicting statement: in Prissefud's message, Zikern was under Egger, and that Zikern's matriarch led her people into the Iger clan and married the then patriarch of the Egger clan, while Sblin described the opposite, saying that Thamming Bird had already been accused of marrying and had decided to marry the future Matriarch Zikern when he was a child before he had acquired the ability to plunder.

As for who is telling the truth, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that Hadu did not do what Prisseff had asked him to do, and at this point he discovered the settlement that the Iger clan had once hated. The important thing is that Hadu suddenly discovers that he doesn't feel his predatory abilities, and he doesn't even have the means to enter the space of consciousness. The important thing is that the people of the Zikon clan have surrounded Hadu in the middle of it for some time, and any gaps that might allow him to escape have been blocked.

Importantly, Sblin slowly got up, looked at Hadu with open eyes, and seeing that Hadu did not show any fear, he waved his hand and beckoned his people to surround him. Sbling's plan is obvious: Hadu is from the vision of the descendants of the Egger clan, and according to Hadu's personality, it is difficult to ensure that the settlement of the Zikern clan will not be exposed, so it is necessary to keep Hadu completely secret-

That is to kill him. What Sbolin relied on was the predatory ability of his clan, the ability to suppress and cut off other abilities in his vicinity, and when their abilities failed, they would naturally be captured.

However, Sblin miscalculated this time: he regarded Hado as a person who only relied on plundering ability and had no combat ability at all, but he didn't know that Hadu had superb hunting ability and a physique more than ten times that of ordinary people.

In the first round, Hadu didn't even use his weapon, but only solved the ten opponents who attacked him with his bare hands, only to see him easily dodge the opponent's copper blade, vigorously cover the top of the opponent's skull with one hand, and then twist vigorously, breaking the opponent's neck. Several other opponents were also cut off by him, and it didn't take more than a few breaths to get from them to Hadu to settle the battle.

Seeing that melee combat would not work, Sblin immediately ordered the second strike to begin: the cavalry charge. And Hado will not sit still, he knows very well that if he does not recover his ability to plunder, even if he has sufficient strength, he will be tested by the other party to find out his weakness. Thinking of this, he did not wait any longer, and before the opposing cavalry could rush closer, Hadu caught up with Sblin with a few light jumps, swept off the soldiers beside him, and pressed his brass thorn against Sblin's throat - but the other party did not give in, and Sblin's eyes were full of madness and determination, and he did not order the cavalry to stop, but let them continue to charge towards him and Hado.

Hadu also knew at this time that the other party would not succumb to his threat, and at the moment he no longer hid his fighting skills, and with a slip of his hand, he cut Sbrin's throat and jumped into the charging array of Zikern's cavalry. The cavalry's charge was of course powerful and powerful, but their weakness was that they could not avoid the blows from the air: Hadoyu leaped through the air for a short distance, and his iron blades ran one after another, piercing through the gaps in the armor of these cavalrymen with precision, and plunging straight into the hearts of the opponents. The cavalry couldn't even make a counterattack, so they fell directly from their horses, and they couldn't die anymore.

Seeing that Hadu's combat effectiveness was so amazing, the remaining Zikon clansmen also rushed up to join the battle, but none of them were Hadu's opponents, and Hadu had already seen from the opponent's battle array that the other party was faintly protecting a certain clan, and this clansman should be their predator.

Hadu fought directly to that place, and at this time, Zikon's offensive suddenly became more violent, and wave after wave attacked Hadu without fear of death. He was not deterred by the opponent's endless offensive, but at the mention of the corner of his mouth, he set off a killing dance in the opponent's formation. It's been a long time since Hadu had fought so well, and the last time he had such an experience was when he fought the Stone-billed Eagle - thousands of years later, and he was finally able to enjoy the fun and thrill of fighting again.

Undenied being stopped by Zikon's warriors, Hadu managed to reach the side of the opponent's predator - a child who had not yet reached the age of adulthood, but with not the ignorance and fear on his face, but enough maturity and calmness. This made Hadu think that the other party could not stay even more - if the other party developed in the future, it was very likely to pose a threat to the grassland tribe, and who knew if the other party would run to the grassland at a distance of millions of steps to settle accounts with Hadu.

He didn't do much emotion, just cut off the other party's head with an iron axe, and then Hadu felt his body loosen, and the perception of the predatory ability returned to him, and the sense of oppression no longer existed. Seeing that the predators in their clan had been slain, the clansmen of the Zikon clan immediately turned around and began to flee outside the clan: they knew very well that the unsuppressed Hadu would be unstoppable, and only by fleeing in all directions could they keep the clan's fire.

But Hadu didn't give them that chance, he used his magnetic power to control all the iron weapons on his body, and then retrieved the flying blades from the dead cavalry, and began the operation to destroy Zikon's army. He first went to the Gulf of Bothnia and sank all the enemies who were about to cross the sea by boat, then he rushed to the Baltic Sea, destroyed all the ships there, and overtook the Zikern, who had been forced to turn, and covered them all with scorching lava in the earth. Those who fled to Scandinavia did not avoid Hado's pursuit, and were all killed by Hado's summoning lightning and wind.

He circled around Zikon's camp a few more times, and after making sure that all the other tribesmen were wiped out, he sent an earthquake to destroy the other camp, and then washed the camp with lava and strong winds until the area was completed and turned into the same as any other barren mountain range.

Hadu did this in order to cover up the truth about his slaughter of the Zikern clan, even if it was difficult for outsiders to find this place as the other party said, it was better to arrange it as much as possible than to be discovered by other clans of the Zikon clan.

After doing all this, Hadu thought about the friendship he had returned to his hometown with Prisseff, and once again embarked on a journey to search for the Egger tribe.
