Chapter 6 [Military Prelude]

Yang Yu shook his head repeatedly.

How could this kid in front of me be Emperor Yan?
Who is Emperor Yan?

He is a legendary figure.

"You are still young, please stop doing this for now."

At the same time, Yang Yu also said: "We have no objection to you dedicating your strength to the tribe, but you need to do it within your capabilities. What does it mean to do it within your capabilities? You only have so much strength, so you should do so much."

"promise."

After hearing the words of the clan leader, Yan was unable to refute.

The patriarch is the god of the entire tribe.

After they left with many thanks, Yang Yu couldn't help feeling a headache.

He doesn't require bronze ore now, as long as he can get copper.

however.

Without copper, the Yang family would be restricted to activities within a radius of fifteen kilometers.

At present, they have reached the peak of the Neolithic Age and have perfectly manipulated all kinds of things belonging to the Neolithic Age.

For example: flint mining, thatched roofs, well digging, defensive wooden fences, grain planting, pig and sheep breeding, weaving, bridge building, stone polishing and other technologies have all reached their peak.

But no trace of copper has been found to this day.

The elders looked at the clan leader who was lost in thought, and no one dared to leave.

Now Yang Yu is the real authority in the tribe.

The strongest of the new generation, even the toughest warriors of the hunting team, could not contend with this godlike chief.

"You all, go back and have a rest!"

Seeing that the elders of the tribe had not left, Yang Yu did not want to bother these old guys who were almost buried in the earth up to their necks.

"Yes." After hearing the patriarch's words, the four elders stood up from the stone benches, leaned on their crutches, and tremblingly left the ancestral hall.

After several elders left the ancestral hall.

"Yu, I think we must leave this land that imprisons us and head for a wider land before we can find the copper ore."

Just then, Lin'er, who was standing next to her, finally spoke.

Yang Yu listened to her words, his eyes flickering.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "We need more tribesmen, and we also need to find a habitat suitable for our survival. Otherwise, it will not be suitable for the tribe's large-scale migration. How many young and strong people are there in the tribe now?"

"There are currently 15 young and strong people in the tribe, eight in the hunting team, and seven of them are women. They are responsible for doing heavy work in the tribe. The elderly are responsible for taking care of the children in the tribe and doing some simple work. There are three elderly people in the tribe, and I am afraid they will not survive this year's winter."

Lin'er said.

"Respecting the old and loving the young is the characteristic of our Yang family."

"They have also contributed their own efforts to the development of the tribe. When they get old, the tribe cannot abandon them. Only in this way can the tribe be more cohesive."

Yang Yu nodded and said, "You are responsible for the family affairs. Remember to be fair and impartial. If there is anything you cannot handle, wait for me to come back and handle it. I will be responsible for hunting and protecting the tribe."

"promise."

Li'er nodded slightly.

These are all allocated.

He stood up from the stone bench and said, "I'm going to check on the hunting team."

……

We came to the more spacious camp in the middle of the tribe.

The two strong young men who followed Yang Lier were sharpening their weapons here.

"Clan leader."

The young man, who looked naive, stood up and saluted towards the clan leader Yang Yu.

"Ada, Aer, go gather the tribal warriors of the hunting team and come here."

Yang Yu spoke softly to the two brothers.

These two brothers were the strongest fighters in the entire tribe, except for him, but they were not very smart and were stubborn. Usually, they followed Yang Li'er to protect her, or did things in the tribe that women could not do.

"promise."

After receiving the order from the patriarch, the two young men immediately put down their tools and rushed towards the home of the tribal hunting team warriors.

When the hunting team warriors learned that it was the tribe leader who asked them to gather, they put down their work and came to the center of the camp.

Looking at the hunting team members in front of him, Yang Yu had satisfaction in his eyes.

They are big, muscular men with strong beards.

It was thanks to Yang Yu who brought them advanced knowledge in advance, had meat to eat every day, and did heavy work all day long, so it was not surprising that they had such a body shape.

Yang Yu looked at the leader of the hunting team, Yang Feng, and the spear in his hand, which was tied to a wooden stick with a sharpened stone. It was the pinnacle weapon of the Stone Age.

"Clan leader."

Everyone saluted to Yang Yu.

"I have called you all here today because I have something to announce."

"For the next month or so, we will not go hunting in the mountains."

The words fell.

Everyone in the hunting team was in an uproar and started whispering and discussing.

How can the tribe survive if they don’t go into the mountains to hunt?

"Stop." Yang Yu held his hands and said, "I know what you are talking about. If we don't go to the forest to hunt, where will the meat come from?"

"The livestock we raise are now ready for slaughter, and together with the food we have stored, it is enough for our entire tribe to live worry-free for a year."

"I have summoned you all here today to form a perfect hunting team."

"From now on, each person will be equipped with a spear, a bow, and thirty arrows. They will also be trained in archery and close combat skills every day."

Everyone fell into deep thought as they listened to Yang Yu's story.

The leader of the hunting team, Yang Feng, stepped forward and said, "Chief, does our tribe want to expand outward?"

“It’s not going to expand.”

"There are still too few people in our tribe, so it is not suitable for expansion."

"This time, if our tribe wants to continue to grow stronger, we must explore outside and find items that can make the tribe stronger."

"Use this instead of flint."

Yang Yu shook his head slightly and said, "At the same time, if we can find a land that is more suitable for our tribe, that would be the best. Whether the tribe can survive in this wilderness and whether your wives and children can live a better life depends entirely on your merits. For the tribe and the family, even if it means risking your life, I will do it."

"For the tribe and the family, I will do anything even if it means sacrificing my life."

Led by Yang Yu, these strong men shouted loudly.

Today's life is much better than before.

Everything got better under the leadership of the patriarch.

and so.

They believed the patriarch's words very much.

They firmly believe that the patriarch will lead them to a more powerful level. Perhaps they will not see that day, but their children and grandchildren can see it, which is enough.

"Meet at the campsite tomorrow morning to combine."

"Anyone who fails to arrive will be kicked out of the hunting team."

Yang Yu looked at everyone present seriously and said, "Disband."

The words fell.

They dispersed on the spot and returned to their respective homes.

Yang Yu looked at the vibrant tribe with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

It is his honor to have such a tribe.

What he did was a prelude to setting up the army.
