The Strongest Tribe

Boom~!

There was a big bell hanging under the black sandalwood tree at the entrance of Jiaziyi Village. At this moment, a totem warrior from the Stone Cracking Realm rang the bell, and after a while there were chaotic sounds in the settlement.

One by one, young men and women came out of the stone house and gathered at the entrance of the settlement. There were about two hundred people, and they looked at the middle-aged man who was ringing the bell.

Seeing that almost all the people in the settlement had arrived, Shewen cleared his throat, and shouted: There is an order from the higher authorities, our Jiazi settlement will dispatch twenty young men to go to the depths of the ancient land to expel miasma and set fires routinely. The old rules, whose turn is it this time.

Not long after, twenty young men were selected from the settlement. In fact, there is nothing to choose. They are all slaves of Daxia. Even if they don’t go this time, they will go next time. Those who don’t want to go are buried in the settlement. It's fattening outside.

Slaves are not qualified to disobey the orders of the master. They have been slaves of the tribe all their lives, and the superior has the power to kill and plunder them.

Go back and get ready, we have to go to Lingluo Mountain to gather!

She Wen yelled loudly, he is the head of a settlement in Jiazi, one of the hundreds of heads of settlements in this ancient land.

The settlement is a slave gathering place divided by the Great Xia Division. Each settlement has a different number of slaves. It is led by a settlement leader who is responsible for reclaiming the wilderness next to the settlement, cultivating vegetation on the reclaimed land, and keeping the blast furnace fires constant. Extinct, to prevent the miasma from filling up again.

As the head of the settlement, although he is also a slave of the Great Xia tribe, he is considered a small slave head. Of course, it is not without risk. If there are any slaves in the settlement who run away privately, the entire settlement and the head of the settlement will be killed, so he He is also very afraid of slaves running away. Once a fugitive slave appears, he will be the first to burp.

Right now, on the hillside outside the settlement of Jiazi, there are still dozens of heads piled up. They are slaves from other settlements who wanted to escape. Unfortunately, they were caught back after they failed to escape, and all of them were beheaded and passed on their heads. settlements.

As for setting the fire, it was a response strategy adopted by the Great Xia Department to prevent the miasma from spreading in the depths of the ancient western land.

Every half a month, some slaves would be summoned to go to the miasma border area to set fire. Every time, not all the settlements would be summoned, but all the settlements would take turns, go to the designated places, light the bonfire and burn the miasma.

Almost every settlement can have a turn every three months, and the number of young adults drawn each time is different according to the population of the settlement.

Half a day later, Shewen took twenty young men from Jiaziyi settlement and headed west.

Rumble!

Just two miles away from the settlement, the ground roared, there were roars of beasts, and there were iron cavalry rolling from the west, but more than ten cavalry were powerful, like a red torrent.

Big Xia Cavalry!

Soldier in red armor!

A young man among the slaves shouted, and then everyone reacted, looked at the direction in which the cavalry was coming, retreated a few feet behind, and prostrated themselves on the ground.

More than a dozen cavalrymen were wearing red armor, and the blue wind horses under them were all wearing armor, leaving only two huge horse eyes. Bags, waist knives, daggers, and spears in hand.

The red armored cavalry, the elite of the totem warriors of the Great Xia tribe, each of them has been stained with the blood of at least three of the same level, even in the Great Xia Guard, there are not many of them.

More than a dozen cavalry guarded a woman riding on the back of a dragon beast, and hurried towards the east, paying no attention to the prostrate slaves on the ground.

After the red armored knight left, She Wen, who was prostrate on the ground, got up.

Get up, we still have to hurry. If we don't make it to Lingluoshan within the stipulated time, no one will survive.

Protected by the red armored cavalry in the center is the deacon of Baicao Temple, Lingyan, the tribe's spiritual planter, and also a wizard, but her witchcraft is not good at fighting, but she is a wizard when she is a wizard. With the development of spiritual plant cultivation, she is now taking care of the high-grade medicine in the clan.

At this time, the aura on Lingchan's body was a bit vain. She was injured by a semi-pure-blooded worm in Baigu Mountain. This kind of insect is very sensitive to spiritual objects and usually hides around them.

This time, Baigushan found a three-pattern dragon blood ginseng. Although it was only in the category of a hundred-year-old elixir, it had grown a spiritual seed. That's why the clan asked her to come and transplant this elixir in person.

In fact, the three-pattern dragon's blood ginseng is the third elixir discovered in the past half a year. Even in the raging flames, it has not been harmed, which is not uncanny.

Of course, in the raging fire, an unknown number of medicinal herbs were turned into ashes, which was enough to show that this ancient wild land was really a treasure.

Although she was injured by the spirit-seeking clam, she also collected it as a spirit beast, and the cavalry escorting her around were guards sent by the clan.

Even though Daxia had already reclaimed an area, there were still many ferocious beasts coming out from the depths of the forest, plus the slaves scattered around, some of them were not so safe, and the necessary protection was still indispensable.

...

summer garden.

Patriarch, there are currently 60 miles left in Lingzhou from east to west, and more than 50 miles from north to south. The spread of miasma has been stopped in the clan, and the next step of expansion can be carried out.

Ling Jue reported back to Xia Tuo that he had been stationed in the wild and ancient land with a group of warriors from the beginning, and now he is still sitting in the west, guarding the slaves scattered in Lingzhou.

The so-called Lingzhou refers to the area opened up on the wild and ancient land, and was ordered by Xia Tuo to be called Lingzhou.

After more than half a year, the reclaimed area has not expanded, but has shrunk a circle, but it has proved the possibility of opening up a living place in the wild ancient land.

Now the miasma in Lingzhou has been almost blocked. The clan ignites fires at the border of the miasma every half a month, burns the miasma, and stabilizes the spread of the miasma to the opened area. The wild ancient land occupies a small corner.

Sitting under the stone pavilion, Xia Tuo was looking at the animal skin scrolls from Baicao Hall and Sinonong Hall, which were jointly presented by two elders Shao and Shao Ming.

After Lingzhou was opened up, the clansmen of Baicaodian and Sinonongdian set foot on that land to investigate, and came to the conclusion that Lingzhou is fertile and can cultivate medicinal herbs and Lingmi on a large scale.

Now Si Nong Dian is going to go to Lingzhou to open up a spiritual field, and Baicao Dian is also planning to choose a place to cultivate medicinal herbs in the mountains.

However, what the two elders wrote was not about this, but to let the clan stop burning the wild forest. After the clansmen of the two palaces searched the land of Lingzhou, they found that the previous fire not only burned away the miasma, but also burned a large number of people. Herbs and spirits were burnt clean.

Originally, Lingzhou was reclaimed by the clan as a place to support the tribe's resources. How could they burn the elixir? This is not a waste of nature.

It is conceivable that once Lingzhou is developed, it will be an inexhaustible treasure house for the tribe, enough to support the development of the tribe.

The gap between Great Xia and other tribes in the Borderlands lies in the accumulation of time, which cannot be erased, but if the resources are sufficient, the development time can be greatly shortened.

Commander Ling, Liang Hongtong will take over from you in Lingzhou, and you will return to the tribe with your soldiers to recuperate.

The subordinates take orders.

Ling Jue bowed. It is indeed not an easy job to be stationed in Lingzhou. There are a lot of poisonous insects, especially in places near the border of the deep wild forest, they will still be attacked by miasma, and wild animals often come out. The two thousand soldiers under his command The clan soldiers have been stationed in Lingzhou from the beginning, and now they finally have time to rest.

Putting down the grievances from the two elders, Xia Tuo rubbed his forehead, wondering how many herbs he lost and how many spirit crystals he could exchange.

It seems that large-scale burning of wild forests is impossible. It can only be eaten away step by step. Based on the existing area, it will be extended step by step to the depths of the wild ancient land. This will be a very long process.

Come on.

Tingyun heard Xia Tuo's order and walked towards Xia Tuo.

How many elders in the clan are in the tribe?

Hearing this, Ting Yun didn't feel stuck in the slightest, and continued: Elder Hong from the War Master Hall is practicing in the secret place of Huofu Volcano, Elder Cang Fu from the Palace of Beasts is in retreat at Yaoling Mountain, Elder Fat from the Hall of Yiwu, and Elder Deer from the Hall of Shadows have not returned yet. .”

Cangfu retreated to refine the purple blood fruit. Fat brother spent 16,000 spirit crystals in the city of cracking the ground three months ago in exchange for the barter conference. .

Zixueguo came from a strong man in the Divine Treasure Realm who had opened up more than forty divine orifices, but he didn't know if Cang Fu had enough opportunities to advance to the Divine Treasure Realm.

Generally speaking, refining the purple blood fruit is tantamount to inheriting the Tao of others, but for many people who do not have the opportunity to be promoted, inheriting the Tao of others is also the Tao.

Except for Cang Fu, Elder Hong, Elder Yang and several other guards are all at the peak of Tianmai, but the talents of the two elders Hong and Yang are better than Cang Fu.

Therefore, before he was sure that there was really no hope, Xia Tuo let them figure out the opportunity to advance to the Divine Tibet Realm by themselves.

The purple blood fruit is not so easy to get. The appearance of each purple blood fruit represents the fall of a warrior in the sacred state. Apart from the outbreak of large-scale tribal wars in the northwest, it can be as short as one or two years or as long as several years. , there will be a divine treasure realm fall.

The most important thing is that among the fallen martial artists in the Divine Hidden Realm, it is rare for them to turn their hard work into purple blood fruit.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Xia Tuo ordered in the direction of Xia Ge: Head, the ministers, elders and deacons will discuss matters in the family hall.

Soon, all the elders in the clan headed towards the clan hall one after another, and Xia Tuo also walked toward the clan hall.

In the family hall, there are no fewer than dozens of elders and deacons. The elders sit in front, and the deacons sit behind the elders.

Meet the patriarch.

Seeing Xia Tuo walk into the hall, everyone stood up and bowed to salute.

Let's all sit down. I'm calling everyone here today to discuss the development of the Lingzhou region. If you have any suggestions, you can talk about it and see whose idea is useful.

The Patriarch...

The Patriarch...

...

In the family hall, the elders and deacons gathered together. Xia, following the fine tradition of having small meetings for big things and big meetings for small things, listened to what the elders and deacons in the family hall had to say freely.

In this way, the clan discussion lasted from the afternoon until night fell, and then in the dead of night, the only clan hall in the entire tribe was brightly lit, and the voices of people were endless. The elders and deacons opened their mouths.

...

Three days later, the edict spread throughout the tribe, and Xia Tuo made his own decision.

The tribe newly established the Lingzhou Town Guard Mansion, with the former Xichuan Domain Guard Wolf as the guard envoy.

The Pioneer Guards were formed, and elite troops were drawn from several major guard areas in the Eternal Mountains to station in Lingzhou to protect the stability of the reclamation area, prevent the impact of ferocious beasts, and suppress slave riots.

The tribal system will not be implemented in the areas that have been developed for the time being. Based on the settlement, the slaves will form a settlement of three or five miles, and the number of settlements will form a pavilion. The elder martial artist, as the head of the pavilion, monitors the slave settlement.

One day later, the Xichuan Domain Wolf Guard received an edict, and the headquarters was reorganized into the Lingzhou Town Guard Mansion.

A day later, the wolf guards who sorted out took over Xishan City with 5,000 clan soldiers under their command. However, the Xia Wei of the clan did not transfer back, but would assist the new Pioneer Guard to take full control of Lingzhou before all the tribes withdrew.

Xia Tuo's edict mobilized millions of people in the guarding domains of the entire Eternal Mountain Range.

The ethnic groups guarding the domain of the Eternal Mountains were originally the source of the ethnic groups in the Zhongxia tribe he imagined, but because of the mixed fish and dragons among them, they did not dare to collect large-scale tribes before.

Nowadays, among the Wangu tribe and the Xia tribe, the people of the tribe have the highest status, followed by the people of the guarding domains, and the lowest rank is the slave, who has no status or right to choose.

The headquarters of the Xia Tribe counted more than 100,000 people at full strength, except for the soldiers, the warriors of the various halls, and the old and young, women and children, there were not many of them left.

Therefore, Xia Tuo is going to use the various ethnic groups who guard the domain. After 20 or 30 years of development, the ethnic groups in the mountains have already had a sense of belonging to Daxia. In addition, the strength of the tribe is no longer what it used to be, so I am not afraid that some people will have strange feelings. thought.

Twenty or thirty years of development, most of the middle-aged people who did not visualize the totem in those days have already started to go downhill, or have already stepped into the downhill road, and the first group of rebellious mountain people are no longer gaining power.

The dolls of that year have all grown up, and these people all grew up under the rule of the Great Xia. The Great Xia gave them the hope of making progress, and the people in the mountains can complete part of the reproduction and replacement of the old and the new with the passage of time.

This time, the older ethnic groups in the guarding domains were called to open up wasteland, and their young offspring were accepted into the Daxia Academy, a two-pronged approach.

Of course, this is just the beginning. Lingzhou is still in a small area and is in the period of land reclamation, so it needs to be done step by step. As the patriarch, Xia Tuo only needs to control the general direction, and the elders and deacons will be responsible.

...

On the west side of Lingzhou, on the front line of miasma poison, the wolf led the two commanders under his command, looked at the colorful miasma poison in the distance, exhaled foul breath, and frowned.

After receiving Xia Tuo's order to serve as the guardian envoy of Lingzhou, he first ran all over Lingzhou, checked the situation on all sides of Lingzhou, and finally came to the forefront of the ancient miasma junction.

The edict given to him by the patriarch was very clear, not only to defend Lingzhou, but also to expand outward. His enemies were miasma poisons, poisonous insects, and fierce beasts lurking in the depths.
