It didn't take much time to complete the looting of the enemy's allegiance, and the members of the scout team who had returned were also brought into line. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info beckoned the men and horses lying in ambush on both sides of the march road to come down and beckoned the "new brothers" back to the tower camp.

After the raid was completed, Hadu asked the two lieutenants about an important matter: how the battlefield would be transmitted to the cities in the rear. According to their explanations, regardless of victory or defeat, two teams of cavalry would be sent back to the city to deliver the password, and the captain of this rapid command team would meet with the old patriarch and the high priest, and pass on the instructions of the front-line high-level in person. However, before they set out for the battle, it was not specified which cavalry would pass the password, in other words: before the return journey, the front-line high-level would tell the cavalry captain the content of the password, and it was not so important who passed the password.

This is a very big loophole, and Hadu is ready to act as the captain of this cavalry and go directly to the city to control the enemy chieftain. He also made it clear: the cavalry in the enemy city is exhausted, and there is no cavalry in the city except war horses, that is, only the clansmen loyal to the old patriarch and the high priest exist in the city. It's just that he doesn't quite know what the old patriarch believes in, which brings some uncertainty to his actions.

But now he doesn't have to rush to do this camouflage operation, he needs to clean up the new recruits first. The receiving force from the direction of the tower has joined the army, and now everyone is ready to return to the outside of the tower to make corrections. Several of the deputy leaders of the Shin'ne-Nu also arrived, and they discussed and told Hado that they were going to expand the tribe in the area behind the tower to receive the new members. Hado thought that this was the right suggestion, and suggested that they should prepare housing for a possible number of more people, preferably by expanding in all other directions, at least by completing a camp that could accommodate an additional 10,000 to 20,000 people.

Several deputy leaders of course agreed, and now the ranks of "Shin'ne-Nu" have expanded by nearly 7,000 people, and there is a faint tendency to sit on the seat of the chief tribe of the grassland. Now that there are so many new people in the tribe, and there are enough people to expand the village and carry out hunting activities, especially during this period of time when the animals are migrating and returning, there will definitely be no shortage of livestock.

Several deputy chiefs also informed Hadu of a good news: the tribesmen all hope that Hadu can choose a long-term residence, even if everyone no longer believes in the gods, but they still hope that there is a place for everyone to worship and gather, and also hope that Hadu can unite the morale and hearts of the tribesmen at a critical time. From the point of view of residence, it must be near the tower to meet all kinds of living needs, not only rich in minerals, abundant water and soil resources, but also flat terrain and thriving people. However, Hado preferred the cave he had already chosen in "Fare", and now he was ready to dig it, so that he did not need to choose another place to live. Hearing this, the deputy chiefs were not disappointed, and asked if they would transform the original site of "Ka-Sin-Ki" into a holy place and move the population of the place to the tower. This proposal was more heartfelt to Hadu, who had hoped that his people would be able to live a more prosperous life, and of course it was better to seize such an opportunity, so he immediately agreed with the idea of the deputy chiefs.

In addition, Hadu is not very comfortable with the location of the two villages of "Bi-Man-Sje" and "Cin-Din-Ta", although his "handling" of "Ka-Sin-Ki" has had some effect on deterring other tribes, but he is not so confident on the other side of the two tribes. He informed the lieutenants of this concern, and asked them to send additional patrols to the two positions, with 500 men and horses at first, and cattle and fresh water to be replenished by the tower.

After arranging these matters, Hado was more comfortable to begin the task of camouflaging and infiltrating. Unlike the previous slow crawling behind enemy lines, this time it was necessary to maneuver at high speed. Originally, the army had dragged on the road for more than four days, but Hadu and the others had to return as quickly as possible - the fatigue of the men and horses caused by the long journey could not be pretended. A total of 24 men and 96 horses were required to rotate the race, otherwise the horses would not have been able to carry the weight of the riders while continuing the long journey. Although the horses of this era were still short horses, the riders were also short of the dwarfs - the average height of an adult man was less than a quarter of the height of a man.

Hadu brought a set of cavalry armor to wear, these armor made of copper and leather are more "human-machine effective" than pure metal armor, and they will not be marked by hard discs when worn on the body, and they are more close and tight, and the protective effect is of course better. There was also a metal-framed leather helmet, but the poor metal craftsmanship of this era caused this kind of leather helmet to be large and heavy, and it was difficult to support it with Hadu's small body, but fortunately, he had the strength of the side bear to barely wear it to stabilize his figure.

The two deputy commanders of the Chinese army told him the message of the order: "Su_Jhi-Tua_Min-Nin'ne_Far 're-Mo_Puj'jo-me." Among them, Jhi-Tua is the "nickname" of the deceased chief, which is actually the pronunciation of the first name and the word "god", Min-Nin'ne is the symbol of "successful assassination" in the "Mu-Tua-Yin" tribe, which has been used for a long time to extend to "victory in battle", and the Su at the beginning of the sentence and Puj'jo-Me at the end of the sentence are inverted uses of "Puj'jo-Me_Su", which means "listen to the self ... The corresponding is Far're-Mo, the former being the syllable of the god of shadows "Sjo-Far're", and the latter being the quotation of the High Priest when he sacrificed to the heavens. The meaning of the whole sentence is: "Listening to the teachings of the god of shadows, Jhi-Tua won the battle." ”

The two deputy chiefs also explained that according to the ritual rules of "Mu-Tua-Yin", news of victory in battle could only be reported when the old patriarch and the high priest were in the same place, and that only one person could not speak if he was present, otherwise it would be "politically incorrect".

Hadu and his party set out with only the first day's rations, and the rest of the food and fresh water had to be carried along the river. If you are fast, you will be able to reach the enemy's city at noon the day after tomorrow. In the meantime, they will not be stopped by any enemy soldiers--where the enemy soldiers come from, don't they all say that the enemy is hiding in the city, and no one comes out?

If visiting the tower from "Ka-Sin-Ki" was his first hike, then this visit to "Mu-Tua-Yin" was Hado's first long-distance adventure. Hadu was still very excited about the first quarter of the way up, the scenery along the way was constantly changing, the river flowed and gradually widened, and finally merged into a large lake. The sparkling water of the lake was something Hadu had never seen before, and the sight was so beautiful that he couldn't help but stop for a while before reluctantly continuing on his way.

As he continued his journey, Hadu realized that his tribe and the tower were actually relatively high—on the other side of the lake was a magnificent waterfall, about a thousand steps wide, cascading down from a height of at least 20 people. A little downhill from the waterfall, you come to the waterhole below the waterfall, from where the river continues to flow downstream in four or five streams. The city of "Mu-Tua-Yin" is on the outermost side of the river in their direction, and there are fewer trees on this side than on the other side of the river, and all the way down is a flat sandy and gravel beach, which is indeed a good place to build a camp.

In the evening, Hado and his team came to a low, broad-leaved forest area, where they could see that the footprints were rather messy, and there were traces of blood on the trunks of nearby trees. According to fellow horsemen, this is where the leader Jhi-Tua was attacked by wolves. The leader of the vanguard did not have the good fortune of his previous hunts, and soon after joining the vanguard against the wolves, he was picked by the leader of the wolf pack, and suddenly jumped out of the bushes next to him, and pierced the leader's right leg bone with his teeth. When he was young, the leader had broken a bone, and it was this leg bone that had been broken. As a result, the puncture wound caused a recurrence of the old wound - to be precise, a broken bone that cut through the thigh artery after another fracture - and soon died of massive bleeding.

Camping here was the worst option, and Hado decided to continue a little further and find a suitable place to camp. As a result, after advancing a little longer, the sky was basically completely dark, and at this time it was not an option to march in the dark, so Hadu ordered to immediately find a flat area of high posts and set up camp. This time, Hadu carefully observed his surroundings with a glimmer of light in the sky, and found that 200 paces from the bank of the river was a good camping area, where the terrain was high enough, the rocky roadbed, and the surrounding trees or dense bushes were not crowded, and it was enough for more than 20 people to gather on it relative to the terrain next to it without crowding.

Hardo was a little too worried about the weather, and while the camp wasn't perfect, and even a rainstorm would have soaked them, it wasn't the first threat he should be wary of - the wolves here were. And then again, Hadu was a little too underestimating the sudden weather conditions he had to face.

After encamping, setting up the horses for them to feed on the bushes or water and grass themselves, Hado ordered the people to gather dry wood and prepare for the fire. The collected firewood was placed next to the cliff near the river beach in the small high hill - if there was a fire, just push the firewood pile down the cliff and it would be fine—this normal experience of survival in the wild helped Hado.

After the firewood was collected, the cavalry gathered around the high post, dug a small pit in the middle, put in the dry twigs, and prepared to make a fire. At this moment, a blinding lightning bolt struck the firewood, and the firewood immediately burned violently, and the hot air carried the light branches of the trees outward, and before Hadu could order the firewood to be transferred, the firewood pile fell to the cliff with a "bang" and fell into the river.

Except for the little dry wood that was still burning, all the other firewood was swallowed up by the raging river. Hadu hurriedly rushed up to "save" this little bit of spark, put it in a pit full of branches, and barely lit a fire to keep the fire. However, the firewood to be used to deter the beast at night was not enough, and the small flames and the lack of dry firewood in the pit made Hadu complain. The other cavalrymen were stunned and frightened - the people of this era had a sense of urgent fear of Raiden, but their mood quickly calmed down when they saw Hado as if nothing had happened.

Just as the so-called disaster does not go alone, Hadu, who was just about to call everyone to collect firewood again, heard the sound of wolves in the surrounding forest. When the wolves make this sound, it means that they have found their prey and are ready to test it first to see how the prey will react, as well as the intensity and intensity of the reaction. It seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable, and Hadu waved his hand to signal the cavalry to gather his horses and stand behind him.

Hadu had fought many beasts, but he had not been outnumbered by the wolves. In the steppe culture, the wolf is a special totem. They are very herd and accurate, with only one wolf in a pack (there can be many competitors), and any hunting must follow the instructions of the head wolf, and the head wolf also has the largest share of resources in the pack. But this group structure is very difficult to implement in human beings, and it is equivalent to combining the chief and the high priest into one, which can be called "****** and the reality is not so simple: if the first wolf is compared to the high priest at the head, then the other wolves are the little priests, that is, each hunter is actually the ritual regulator. And this situation itself conflicts with the meaning of the emergence of ritual regulations: non-combatants who maintain the smooth flow of battles, although every high priest is a good hunter when he is young, but it is a matter of putting the cart before the horse to ensure the strength and quality of fighting of a group of non-combatants.

Hadu stood alone at the entrance to the slope of the high hill, protecting the horses and cavalry behind him. He keenly noticed that there were dark shadows scurrying around quickly under the gloomy forest in front of him, and he thought that these were the vanguard of the attacking wolf pack. Hadu slowly leaned down and untied two copper spikes from his lower back, which were double-sided blades specially created for him by the craftsmen of the tower, and on them there was also their new invention, the blood groove, which could ensure that the blade would not be sucked by the negative pressure in the body cavity after stabbing the flesh, and could quickly draw the knife back and turn back, while also destroying the hemostatic mechanism of the opponent's body tissue.

Hadu gripped the two brass spikes in his backhand, his body drooping as his muscles gathered momentum. Suddenly, an old wolf with a gray coat jumped out from behind the bushes on the side and pounced on Hadu, and it was the kind that was very experienced in pounced first and then opened its mouth to bite. Hadu slid calmly to the side, his body was short, and the copper thorn in his left hand pierced into the old wolf's abdomen with a "bang", and then pulled hard, and he disemboweled, breaking the internal organs of the wolf's body. I saw that the wolf had leaked his internal organs, and his blood vessels were cut by the blade, and he lay down still after a few whimpering struggles.

Hadu didn't feel pressure or fear at all, on the contrary, he felt that the wolf's fighting level was too bad - he jumped so high that he could catch it when he crouched, his physical fitness was severely reduced, his body did not turn around the moment he opened his mouth, his physical function was also insufficient, his limbs were a little sluggish, and it was likely that he was starved.

Of course, Hado knew that sending this old wolf here was not only to test his combat strength, but also to abandon the individuals who were dragging behind in the team. Therefore, he did not underestimate the enemy, but paid more attention to the movements around him. In a short time, two more wolves rushed towards them, and this time it was a very young wolf: the brown fur on its neck had not yet completely faded. It can be seen from this that the head wolf of this wolf pack is very good - first send an experienced but physically weak wolf to test the reaction speed of the prey, and then send a young, strong but inexperienced wolf to test his multi-directional reaction ability - these two aspects of performance can probably judge the age and combat experience of the prey at this time.

It was inevitable that the two young wolves were inexperienced: one lunged at Hado's calf, intent on biting his calf to restrain him from struggling, while the other leaped up and attacked his chest, baring its sharp claws and fangs. Undeterred, Hado's feet lightly jumped over the bloody mouth of the wolf below, and when he turned in the air, he avoided the wolf that jumped in front of him. Then he thrust a copper thorn into the wolf's skull below, and his other hand slashed open the windpipe of the wolf in front of him. As expected, the two wolves were killed one after the other.

Hado's state of battle shocked the cavalry behind him who wanted to come to his aid, and also intrigued the head wolf who had been watching him from afar: in general, these two-legged monsters did not have the ability to challenge the wolves alone. The wolf could only hear a long howl to the sky, followed by a series of short whining.

Immediately from the forest came another charging wolf—this time six. Obviously, this is not the first time that the wolf has had friction with humans, and it is well aware of the weaknesses of the human body: the arms cannot fully protect the back, the sides of the abdomen are soft and unprotected, and the back of the neck is injured and immediately unable to move. This time, the 6 wolves attacked Hadu, who came to these weaknesses, only to see 2 wolves detouring left and right, and the other 4 wolves were targeting behind Hadu - they also understood that the hunter in front of them was trying to protect his fellow people behind him.

Hadu, sensing the Wolves' target, did not sit still, only to see him insert the copper thorn back into the strap around his waist with both hands, and take two copper axes from his back. With Hado's might, these metal axes with long handles could easily sever the bones of a wolf, let alone fur and flesh. Seeing these 6 wolves jumping up in 6 different directions, the copper axe in Hadu's hand was not slow, and with a wave of both hands, he cut off the heads of the two wolves, and with a shake, he cut off the 2 wolves that were about to cross his head, and the last 2 wolves were also stabbed by him after he dodged sideways.

Hadu didn't plunder the wolves in battle, because he knew that he couldn't repeat the plunder, so he put the ultimate goal of the plunder there-

- The head wolf. ！
