The Strongest Tribe Of The Ages
Chapter 44 The Ministry of War
"Respecting the old and loving the young is..."
Xia Tuo gave himself a reason, grabbed two rolls of animal skins, and came to the residence of the great elder, and handed the animal skins to the great elder, asking him to inform the tribe.
And he went to the Ministry of War.
The Ministry of War is not on the top of the mountain, but in the valley. The role of weapon armor is particularly important for soldiers. A good armor and weapon can increase the strength of several percent.
The Ministry of War was located in the cave where the original Lu tribe leader was. Of course, the cave had been expanded again, reaching a depth of 100 meters. As soon as he entered the cave, Xia Tuo felt a wave of heat.
Ground fire.
A fire hole erupted in the center of the cave, and there was a stone pot full of cracks on it.
Click!
In an instant, the stone furnace shattered and shattered into multiples, a raging flame burst out from the furnace, and the center of the flame flashed blue.
The shape of the stone stove is like a pot, with ears on both sides for easy grasping.
"Quickly change the furnace!"
Elder Gong grabbed a huge black stone furnace on the side and placed it on the fire again, covering the flames that rushed out, and all kinds of stone fragments shattered around the fire hole piled up.
There were also polished rough stone furnaces not far away. In two days, no fewer than ten stone furnaces were destroyed. In order to find a kind of refractory stone, the people of the Ministry of War searched for more than 20 kinds of stone, but unfortunately none of them. Can survive a small half-day on the ground fire.
In the fierce cave, each sturdy figure with naked shoulders and sweaty backs surrounded the stove, staring at the stone stove.
Click.
Soon, the cracks on the black stone furnace became apparent, and they were melted by the ground fire.
"Coming."
Without hesitation, Elder Gong grabbed a blue stone furnace again and placed it on the fire.
"Go and invite Wu to come."
"Patriarch."
The bow immersed in the stone furnace suddenly turned around and was about to bow, but Xia Tuo waved his hand to stop it.
"Patriarch, the temperature of the ground fire is too high, and the stone can't bear it."
Looking at the bow with a bitter smile, Xia Tuo waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. This is not the world he knew in his previous life, but a wild land with nothing that needs a little practice.
"Is the ground fire stable?"
"It has been stable since yesterday."
Hearing this, Xia Tuo breathed a sigh of relief. The fire was a surprise, and he dug out the cave in the expansion of the Ministry of War.
"Call me what to do."
Soon Wu came with a wooden staff, and said unceremoniously.
"The Ministry of Defense needs a stone furnace for smelting ores. I searched for a lot, but couldn't find refractory stone. Can I imprint witchcraft spells on the stone furnace to increase the fire resistance of the stone?
Wu did not make a sound, but looked from the stone furnace left beside him, and reached out his hand to pick up the cracked gravel.
Xia Tuo didn't say a word, and waited quietly for Wu's thoughts. He felt that Wu had found his way in his twilight years. I am afraid that he had accumulated a lot of money, otherwise how could he brand a witchcraft charm on the waterwheel in a short time.
Since it works on the waterwheel, the stone furnace is naturally fine.
"Use this kind of stone to build a new stone furnace and send it to the Wudian."
Wu threw a scarlet stone in his hand to the bow, glanced at Xia Tuo, and turned to leave the Ministry of War. The old man seemed to be trembling, but his hands and feet were awkward, holding the vine, like an old monkey. Back to the top of the mountain.
"Blood Red Stone."
The bow naturally recognized this stone. The crimson stone had traces of blood-red lines between it, and it was the stone furnace made of this blood-red stone that lasted the longest on the ground fire.
"Build a stone furnace according to Wu's instructions."
Bow waved a clansman, and ran out quickly.
"Can the armor be made?"
As soon as the voice changed, Xia Tuo asked.
"The patriarch comes with me.
The place where the armor was made was another cave next to it. Now the exit of the valley is blocked by a stone wall. In the entire valley, except for the salt making, the Ministry of Defense chooses a place at will.
"We disassembled the broken armor and the armor of the Gale Department that were confiscated by the Lu tribe, and found that the materials used to make the armor of the Gale Department were soaked with animal oil, and the joints between the limbs and the body were connected by animal tendons, and they were even more polished. The beast scale leaf."
Taking Xia Tuo into the cave where the armor was made, the bow's face flushed a little, saying: "Compared with the armor made by the Gale Department, the armor made by our tribe is rubbish. Armor made of the same material is defensive. The force is at least 20% weaker than the wind department."
Entering the Cave of Zhijia, a heavy beast oil and bloody aura permeated, Xia Tuo saw that the clansmen who came and went were busy, mostly women from the tribe.
Some people soaked animal skins in animal oil, some were sorting animal tendons, and others were polishing the scales of beasts.
In fact, this time the Lu tribe was annexed. In addition to the benefits of salt, another benefit was the large amount of dried animal skins and bones stored by the Lu tribe.
"Patriarch, look at the armor of the Gale Department. There are 470 scales all over the body. The neck and joints are connected by double-layer animal tendons and double-layer animal skins are used for protection."
He got this armor from the Gale Department, and Xia Tuo knew it naturally. In general, it was an armor made of the scales and skins of the fierce beast in the half-cracked stone realm.
Why is it called Half-Cracked Stone Realm armor? It’s because the Gale Department craftsman who made this armor cleverly used various fierce beast scales. The unimportant parts of the arms, legs and feet are inlaid with ordinary beast scales.
This is enough to see the mind of the craftsman making armor.
The armor inlaid with scales can even jam the arrows of sharp arrows, and the inside is lined with animal skins for double protection.
"As soon as possible, build a pair of armor in this way."
"Yes."
Xia Tuo stared at the bow and asked, "How long will it take."
"Two days."
"Send it to Wu after building it."
Then Xia Tuo looked at the two caves where he made bows and arrows and polished the stone soldiers. Now there are four caves in the entire war department, namely fire, armor, crossbow arrows, and stone soldiers.
The underground volcanic cave is prepared for smelting bronze. As the tribe gradually becomes more regular, the unification of weapons and armor will also be introduced. The tribe will guard the tribe full-time and hunt and conquer, and the tribe will be unified armed.
"This time I got a lot of stone soldiers and armor from the Lu tribe. Choose the best of them as soon as possible to equip them."
Walking out of the cave where the stone soldiers were made, Xia Tuo turned and said to the bow behind him.
"Yes, I will make the clan soldiers equipped with armor and stone guns as soon as possible."
...
Three days later, in the valley, a strong man stood.
In the front is Hong, and there are nine other totem warriors.
He divided a hundred clan soldiers into ten vertical and horizontal columns, with a totem warrior at the front of each column.
"Xia Tribe!"
"Patriarch!"
...
The shouts shook the valley, shaking Xia Tuo's ears.
"From today, you will guard the dolls, women and children in the tribe."
Xia Tuo looked at the figures in front of him, and whizzed out into the ears of every clan soldier.
"Tell me, are you all right!"
"Guardian tribe!"
Hong shouted loudly and waved the stone soldier in his hand.
With a loud shout from Hong, more than a hundred members of the tribe behind him shouted together, shaking the sky.
Xia Tuo looked at the soldiers in front of him. Under his vision, these clan soldiers would be completely separated from clan affairs and become real soldiers.
These more than one hundred tribal soldiers are all young and strong in the tribe, ranging from their teens to their thirties, when they are upright and vigorous.
"give it to you."
After Hong signaled, Xia Tuo turned to climb the wall and returned to the top of the mountain.
Since it is a soldier, it is impossible to be so stable. The wilderness outside the tribe is the best training ground.
Under the rush of the Ministry of War, the best armor, stone spears, and 30 crossbows were selected and handed over to Hong.
In the following days, they will take turns into the mountains to hunt and temper.
...
The second day.
Xia Tuo returned to his stone house from the witch's stone temple. Lu was waiting outside the door. Seeing Xia Tuo coming back, he quickly shouted, "The patriarch."
Xia Tuo nodded and signaled that the deer followed into the stone house. Entering the stone house, the deer saw a wooden frame standing on the edge of the stone bed. On it was a piece of armor. The scales on the armor shone with a dark light, and there was a black light like a small snake. Fleeting.
"This is the best armor that the tribe can make so far. It is all made of the scales, skins, and tendons of the beasts of the stone-cracking realm. The witches also imprint witchcraft charms on them, enough to withstand the frontal blow of the beasts broken."
Naturally, Xia Tuo had a panoramic view of the deer's expression. As a fighter, it was impossible not to long for such an armor.
The armor shone with gloom, and every piece of scale armor was polished, layered on top of each other like fish scales, and a large scale was inlaid on the chest.
At the moment when the deer was stunned, Xia Tuo took off a two-meter long bow and an arrow basket from the stone wall. The whole body of the bow was yellowish brown, and there were five arrows with bronze arrows shining with totem patterns.
Bows, crossbows and arrows have been obtained by the head of the Lu tribe, and the tribe still cannot produce such a strong bow.
Only one of the five arrows of the patriarch of Lu tribe was branded with totem runes, and the remaining four were branded by Xia Tuo.
Xia Tuo grabbed the big bow and arrow basket and stuffed it towards the deer.
"I will give you this armor and crossbow."
The deer was taken aback for a moment, and was about to push away. There was no doubt that armor and crossbows were the best weapons available in the tribe.
The best weapon is naturally given to the patriarch.
"Take it, I can only put the armor and crossbows in the tribe and leave them to you to play the best role."
Seeing the deer still hesitating, Xia Tuo said forcefully: "This is my order, and it must not be violated. Besides, the wild mountains and forests are extremely dangerous. If you can find the ruins of the Great Thousand Tribe, you will find them, and you will come back as soon as you can."
"Yes."
After that, Xia Tuo personally ordered the deer to put on the armor, and then put the big bow on his back, and the arrow basket was pinned to his waist.
He patted the shoulder of Fear Deer, and he sighed slightly. At this moment, he was taken aback, walked to the stone bed and grabbed it, and a bronze dagger appeared in his hand.
"Take it, just come back!"
