Chapter 18 - The Kingdom of Odin 2

If you have to use words to describe this war, there is only one phrase: wolf into sheep.

The Aden people, because there were no disasters and no animal attacks for years, did not even build walls and were extremely lacking in precaution.

Joseph could see very clearly the concept of 1,400 people.

The black mass of people advancing chaotically towards Aden. Aden's internal tribes are also independent existences. Each tribe is only a few hundred people. The larger tribes, at most, more than a thousand people.

Fourteen hundred people, even if they did not all carry stone weapons, still formed an absolute crush on these tribes.

The tribes that surrendered were in the majority, and they were all robbed of their stored food and then informed that they were now unified as the Odin tribe.

The war of unification saw little blood and was completed in two months.

Resistance was not the style of the Aden, just as they did not resist when DEHA invaded.

From now on, all the tribes of Aden, when asked, will have to answer that they belong to Odin.

The Odin tribesmen restarted building in the center of Aden, but this time with walls.

This was named the City of Orpheus, and was the center of the entire Odin tribe.

The city of Orpheus was also called the city of the sun, because Orpheus is the phonetic translation of the sun.

Of course, not all tribes are driven to the city of Orpheus.

There are more than fifteen thousand people within Aden, which seems extremely empty even when distributed throughout Aden, not to mention the fact that Orpheus City now concentrates most of the population of Aden.

About five thousand people are still divided into more than ten tribes, living in the original tribal land, only that their tribes have been installed with people from Orpheus City.

These were people trusted by Orpheus, similar to the prototype of the fiefdom system.

These fiefdoms all have the right to form armies, but they need to pay regular tribute to Orpheus City for food and some other things.

....

Orpheus methodically proceeded with the nationalization of Aden under the direction of Joseph.

After four years of Aden's unification, the city of Orpheus was finally built.

It was a huge capital city with walls four meters high and one meter thick, strong enough to resist the impact of Welsh elephants.

Orpheus could accommodate 100,000 people, and even if the Odin tribe was more fertile, they would not be able to fill Orpheus in a short time.

At the same time that Orpheus' city was completed, Orpheus also declared the establishment of the Kingdom of Odin.

He declared that Odin was no longer called a tribe, but a kingdom, and that the entire kingdom covered the whole of Aden, which was a rather large area.

Orpheus himself was the first king of Odin, known as Odin I.

Some policies were able to be implemented after the Kingdom of Odin had the densest population in the entire Welsh steppe.

Orpheus began to dispatch his people under the arrangement of Joseph.

He began to appoint officials, princes and ministers, whether military, political, or miscellaneous, who would help him give orders.

Orpheus made a decree that those who violated the decree would be punished.

The first decree he made was that the people of Odin's kingdom must form a registry.

This was a very large decree.

First of all, he made it mandatory for every citizen to have a family name, not just a first name.

Orpheus himself gave himself the surname Aza, which is the transliteration of the word "god" in the Aden language, and the surname was accompanied by the name, so his full name became Orpheus-Aza.

Since there is a surname, there is also a need to clarify the issue of parents.

In the original culture of the tribe, it was difficult to know who the father was, and Orpheus re-regulated this matter.

All of Odin had to practice monogamy.

Such a thing faced some difficulties in advancing, but with Orpheus' firm enforcement and the blood of many people, it was finally advanced.

Such a system, after proving its superiority with time, soon spread not only in Odin's home but also in the steppes.

The second article of the decree was to make it mandatory for all people to cultivate the land.

The steppe was actually a suitable climate for cultivation, and Adin has been equally fertile since the ancient times when it diverted the Welsh River.

But hunting was what the Welsh did best and always carried out, and even when they found crops that could be grown, they were reluctant to do so on a large scale.

The advance of agriculture doomed the Odin to change their staple diet from meat to crops.

It was also fundamental to feeding a large population.

All the reforms were accomplished in a gradual manner.

Orpheus had enough time to implement all the reforms, and he was far from reaching the limit of his life span after fusing the Spiritual Giant's blood.

....

It was in the fourth year of the Kingdom of Odin that the system of breeding and domicile was settled.

Monogamy did not make reproduction less efficient, but rather improved many of the diseases that arose from promiscuity.

In the same year, a copper mine was also discovered within Adin.

This is the best use of the ore.

But unfortunately, because of the short age of the Earth, coal, an important resource, did not appear.

Natural copper ore is very soft and is called "red copper," but unfortunately, it is not suitable for making tools, so even with copper, for the time being, it is still mainly stone tools.

After another three years, another ore was found under the special search of Orpheus—tin ore.

At this point, bronze can be born.

Under the direction of Orpheus, the Odin people began to refine the two metals into an alloy, and the harder, more durable bronze was finally introduced.

The emergence of bronze had an almost trans-generational impact.

Within a few years, bronze replaced stone tools on a large scale, and within a few years, it had spread throughout the kingdom.

The weapons cast in bronze were dozens of times more powerful than stone weapons, and the efficiency of hunting was also greatly improved.

All kinds of vessels were cast rapidly.

With bronze, Orpheus' third decree also began to unfold.

He ordered artisans to start minting coins.

For a long time, the tribe had no concept of coins and used the barter model until the coins were minted.

Bronze coins were issued by the Odin kingdom, called Odin coins, and the subjects could exchange hunted game, crops, or anything of value for the coins.

Odin coins circulated within the kingdom and were used for trading.

With money, naturally, commerce could begin to develop.

There were a number of savvy Odins who began to go forward to other tribes to buy things. They traded bronze for hunting or ore and then shipped it back to Odin to sell.

The Odin now disliked hunting, and the mandatory requirement to eat crops was subtly changing them, but, of course, meat was still popular.

Along with the boom in trade, Odin's coins began to circulate among the other tribes of the Welsh steppe.

....

The Kingdom of Odin gradually prospered over a period of twenty years.

The outside world and the new population gave Odin great vitality, and now the entire Odin Kingdom has close to 60,000 people.

As the twenty years passed, all Odin people accepted the concept of a king and a royal family.

Their king showed up every year on the day of the kingdom's birth and celebrated with everyone.

But every year they found that their king was still young.
