The Eagle People live in the mountains and have lived in the mountains for generations. They particularly like places with cliffs.
They lived in caves carved out of stone around the top of the mountain.
Gaoman Mountain is just an extremely common hill in the ancient world of Ferland.
The rumored Eagle King's Court resides on a towering mountain called "Tianshan"!
It is a huge and magnificent mountain, with tens of thousands of Eagle People living on it. It is the ancestral home of the Eagle People, and the Eagle People of the Gaoman Mountain Tribe also originated from here.
After Jiang You became the chief of the Gaomanshan tribe, he began to transform the living environment of the Eagle people.
Although the cave is safe, after many generations of Ying people have lived there, the smell inside is very unpleasant, and hygiene has always been a problem.
First year.
He sharpened a stone axe, cut down trees, and led his fellow tribesmen to build dozens of wooden houses and wooden beds as their new residence within a year.
The original cave, with a wooden door, becomes an excellent storage place.
The eagle man's wooden house has two doors, one on the roof and the other near the cliff, making it convenient for travel.
After building the wooden house, he called the tribesmen together and dug a pit in the center of the tribe to form a pool for drinking water.
Jiang You would arrange for his tribesmen to fetch water every day.
Then he surrounded the group of wooden houses with wooden walls, and thus a small village was formed.
The wooden house village may be less safe than the cave, but Jiang You looked at the village in front of him and felt the breath of civilization for the first time in this wild land.
At this point I feel at ease.
The next winter.
Jiang You led the Eagle Boys to find and kill several hibernating black bears in the Whispering Forest during the heavy snow in winter.
He grew in strength and skill, and he himself was clothed in bearskin.
Very warm.
Third year.
Jiang You discovered a magical beast in the east of the Whispering Forest.
Fortunately, this monster is a deer monster. Although it is strong, it has a gentle temperament and has always stayed in its own territory, which makes Jiang You and others feel relieved.
But his desire to obtain supernatural powers grew stronger.
Fourth year.
When Jiang You led the hunting team out hunting, they chased the bison and flew three thousand meters further to the west.
Here, he discovered an open-pit copper mine!
This surprised him!
copper!
This is what will allow them to move from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.
If they had bronze artifacts, the strength of the Gaomanshan tribe would be greatly enhanced.
But soon, a patrolman, an eagle-like boy, flew over from farther away and told him that there was a snake-man tribe here.
The snake people are also a subordinate race of the Titans.
However, they have been at war with the Eagle Clan for generations, their living areas overlap, and they have been natural enemies since ancient times!
In ancient times, before the four-legged eagles evolved into eagle-men, they often captured the two-legged snakes, the ancestors of snake-men, for food.
But when they almost simultaneously accepted the gifts and enlightenment from the Titans, they evolved into an intelligent race.
The Eagle People's suppression of the Snake People disappeared.
Snake people have a stronger reproductive capacity and are good at using bows and arrows.
Otherwise, a soldier who can shoot arrows in the sky, even if he is just an ordinary mortal without extraordinary power, has great advantages.
Although eagle people have the advantage of flying, their eagle claws are too sharp to support them in archery.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang You's desire for copper overcame his concern for the snake tribe.
he asked thoughtfully.
"Liang, how many snakemen are there in that snakeman tribe? Are there any extraordinary snakemen?"
"Chief, I didn't look carefully."
Liang touched his head in embarrassment.
"It's okay, we'll just take another look."
He took a group of eagle boys into the air, and after flying for a few miles, he found a snake boy beside a small river.
Jiang You did not blame him. After all, it was rare for an Eagle-Man boy to have such awareness. It was already very good that he could discover the Snake-Man tribe.
Jiang You circled in the sky and observed, and found that this small tribe was actually in a similar situation to theirs.
Years of war had exhausted their strength, and the tribe was basically filled with the elderly, the weak, women and children.
That's right, the survivability of the snake people on the battlefield is even worse than that of the eagle people. They are cannon fodder among cannon fodder!
However, the number of snakemen in this tribe is larger than that of the Gaoman Mountain Eaglemen tribe, with about three hundred snakemen surviving.
Jiang You made a decisive decision to wipe out this snake tribe.
So that night.
Jiang You led the warlike tribesmen of the Eagle Tribe and destroyed the small Snake Tribe while they were sleeping at night. Afterwards, they mined copper and smelted bronze.
Jiang You knew some of the simplest copper refining methods in his previous life. After trying several times, he successfully refined bronze. The fifth year.
After a year of accumulation.
Almost every eagle man in the tribe who can fight has a bronze weapon.
With bronze tools, they could hunt larger and more ferocious prey.
Even when Jiang You and his companions encountered some weak magical beasts, they dared to test them.
Most of the tribesmen used bronze spears, but Jiang You forged a bronze sword for use.
Sixth year.
The tribe's bronze reserves increased, so Jiang You used the extra bronze to cast a large bronze tripod!
In this way, the food can be cooked in the cauldron all the time.
Later, some bronze utensils were also made.
Bowls, basins, pots, spoons and so on.
Only at this point could Jiang You announce that the Gaomanshan tribe had left the Stone Age and entered the Bronze Age.
They are more civilized than most races in the world of Ferland.
Seventh year.
Jiang You is 16 years old, which is considered an adult among the Eagle Clan.
His body became more upright and sturdy, and his wings became tougher and more powerful.
This year, in order to face the upcoming war, Jiang You began to cast armor with bronze!
Because eagle people have wings, it is difficult to cover their backs with armor, and in order to maintain light flight, the armor should not be too heavy.
Jiang You only cast armor plates on his chest, arms and head for self-defense.
More than a dozen sets of this simple bronze armor were made and worn by Jiang You and the strongest eagle man in the tribe.
They are all friends who grew up together with Jiang You and are connected as brothers.
As time goes by.
This autumn.
When the golden autumn leaves are flying.
The envoy from the Eagle King's court arrived as expected!
