Ten thousand I am across the heavens

When Lan Nuo proposed the idea of ​​building a shelter, it immediately attracted everyone's interest. In fact, it was not just him. People in history had thought about building a shelter before, but they had never succeeded.

"In fact, more than one person has thought about digging a cave like you did, and then surviving in the cave to get through the most difficult winter. But there are only a few who succeeded, and at most only caves that can shelter dozens of people can survive. It is extremely difficult for an entire tribe to survive like this.

Either the food reserves were insufficient and the people in the shelter killed each other, or the shelter was too simple and was destroyed in the snowstorm, causing everyone to die in the snowstorm.

In fact, even if I don't tell you, you should be able to guess why no one succeeded. First of all, it is impossible for those large tribes to build shelters. Once a tribe with more than 10,000 people builds such a shelter, it will inevitably be discovered by the surrounding Golden Family. Such a large tribe is a huge help to the Golden Family in the next war. If such a tribe is unwilling to submit to the Golden Family and builds its own shelter, it will definitely be attacked if it wants to survive the disaster. Forced to submit to the Golden Family as their vanguard and cannon fodder. Even if they have the confidence to temporarily resist the attack of a Golden Family. Such unsociable forces will also be attacked by the crowd. In the end, they have to choose one of them to surrender.

As for those small tribes with only thousands or even hundreds of people, no one would care. These people building shelters in private would not attract the attention of the Golden Family. After all, their population is too small and their strength is too weak, so it is not worth fighting for. But it is precisely because their population is too small and their strength is too weak. Even if there is no interference, the success rate of building a shelter is very low. It is highly likely that they cannot dig out a strong enough shelter or store enough food. It is already difficult for such a weak tribe to survive on the grassland, not to mention accumulating enough supplies before winter, and spending manpower and material resources to dig caves. The few who survived successfully picked up caves dug by their predecessors or caves dug by wild beasts. By skipping the step of consuming manpower and material resources, all their energy was used to store supplies, which gave them a chance to survive.

In our situation, we are actually a relatively large tribe when added together. The Golden Family will definitely be impressed by our combined fighting power. If we choose to work alone, build a shelter, and not participate in the battle for the royal court, we will definitely be attacked by everyone.

So it's not that everyone doesn't want to choose this path. It's just that this path is much more difficult to survive than participating in the King's Court War. Unless there is a fifth-level strongman who personally leads a force, declares not to join any side, and shows his determination, it is possible to maintain neutrality.

But his strength has reached the fifth level. As long as he participates in the battle of the royal court, no matter he wins or loses, as long as he can survive, he will definitely be successful in the future, even if he is on the losing side. As long as he does not die in the battle, after joining the winning side, he will still be able to climb to the top quickly. With such a high probability of survival and the wealth and glory at his fingertips, there are really few people who would risk their lives just to live a miserable life with a group of tribal people.

I also saw that your tribe was able to display a top-level battle formation among the fifth level. This gave me a glimmer of hope. If we have such a battle formation to protect us, perhaps we can really hope to build a large underground shelter to protect everyone through the cold winter."

The head of the Ge family also said a lot after being forced to join. Some of these insights were what Lan Nuo had already thought of, while others were what he had not yet realized. It really gave him a lot of help.

After reaching an agreement to join forces, the two tribes did not immediately dig underground caves to open up shelters. After discussion, they also determined that if they dug shelters through conventional means, they would definitely be targeted and besieged by the major golden families. If they were not strong enough, they would not be able to remain neutral.

Instead of praying that he would not be noticed by the Golden Family and secretly dig a shelter in a hidden place, it would be better to take advantage of this time to unite more people and strengthen his tribe. When building the shelter, he would forcibly resist the siege of the major Golden Family, show his toughness to knock out their teeth, and then establish his neutral position.

With the addition of another tribe, the efficiency of the South and North Wars became faster. They did not target other tribes, but still targeted the beasts. Everyone could see that it was almost impossible for ordinary people to resist the invasion of the Golden Family with their elemental advantages. The real trump card still had to rely on the powerful strength of the beasts. Only the powerful battle formation built by these war horses flying in the sky could resist the attacks of many fourth and fifth turn strongmen of the Golden Family.

As for other family members that we meet along the way, we will persuade them if we can. If we cannot persuade them, we will let them go. It is not ruled out that someone will report to the Golden Family. Reporting someone wants to remain neutral. But if we just want to keep some things from being discovered, it is unrealistic. It is better to spread the information. In this way, when the Golden Family knows, other scattered small families will also know. At that time, some people will naturally come to us.

The speed at which the neutral forces they establish expand in strength will also increase.

The situation was not much different from what they imagined. After the news spread, the first ones to come to seek refuge were indeed some small families. After seeing the process of hunting wild beasts, most of them decisively chose to join.

As the number of beasts hunted increased, many beast king-level war horses began to emerge among the war horses. The total number of war horses has reached a terrifying level of 300,000. Among them, the number of flying war horses specifically responsible for combat has reached 100,000. With such a huge number of horses, the power of the battle formation has increased exponentially. The range of the world's advent was only a few miles. Now that the number has increased significantly, the coverage has become dozens of miles, which is truly equivalent to summoning a forest to the earth.

This terrifying battle formation that was enough to change the landscape of mountains and rivers had already surpassed the strength of the fifth level. Not to mention that after the forest was summoned, the forest could come alive. Under the auxiliary control of many tribal warriors, huge wooden war beasts were condensed.

This scene also gave the many small families who came to seek refuge the confidence to fight against the Golden Family. Since there was such a battle formation, the fifth-level strongmen of the Golden Family should not dare to attack.

When the number of tribal members reached 100,000 and the number of war beasts of various attributes reached nearly one million, Lan Nuo finally began to direct everyone to select a Feng Shui treasure land to dig a shelter and began to store a large amount of food to prepare for the coming cold winter. One by one, the huge beasts with shackles and chains were driven to one side of a mountain. They were preparing to dig an underground space under the mountain. In this way, the underground shelter is not only underground and protected by the earth, but also has a layer of mountains above as protection, and the protection should be stronger.

These beasts are good at controlling the earth. After being forcibly captured by the herd, they were already scared out of their wits. At this moment, they were shackled and obeyed the command of the people obediently. As a brown long-haired yak put its feet on the ground, the ground began to tremble violently, and the soil squeezed around to form a wide passage underground. The earth was like being edited by a terrain editor, showing a strange depression. At the same time as the huge passage was formed, a large number of tribesmen began to take. The crude fiber of flax, or the crude fiber extracted from grass leaves, was spread on the surrounding walls. Later, someone brought buckets of viscous liquid and spread them on these crude fibers. Layers of fiber and layers of viscous liquid, as the layers were stacked, the viscous liquid solidified like epoxy resin, wrapping layers of fiber inside, forming a solid composite material structure, supporting the soil and rocks from collapsing. This is the lowest cost and most efficient construction method. When the lower layer is under greater pressure, it will rely on huge wooden men to transport the prefabricated concrete blocks and piece them together like a puzzle to form a more solid support structure. This massive underground shelter construction project is larger than any other in the history of this land.

Although it only exists in the material world and is not an immortal hole, it is expected that after the construction is completed, the volume of the underground space will not be smaller than the immortal hole. They plan to hollow out an underground space the size of a city.

There is still a shortage of manpower at present, but with the continued war replenishment and the strong productivity provided by the large number of wooden mechas summoned, there is still hope that it can be completed before the winter comes.

More people were responsible for gathering food. The world maintained by the battle array had arrived. Although it would quickly wither after the war, if the plants in the forest bore fruit during this process, these fruits could still be preserved intact after being collected.

This time, Lan Nuo tended to summon more pine trees. Under the ultra-high efficiency of photosynthesis, these pine trees continuously grew pine cones, which were then collected by everyone one by one. The pine cones were taken out, put into bags, and stored in a dry place. Fruits with low water content like this can be preserved for a long time after drying. It is a kind of food that is more suitable as a winter reserve.

Some simple industrial production lines were also established during this process. Coal, iron ore and other ores were transported by huge beasts and processed in the crude ore factories with black smoke. They were smelted and made into various industrial devices.

A large number of simple industrial products were mass-produced during this process, including iron sheets and glass jars. Therefore, canned food stored in jars after heating also began to be mass-produced. These foods that can be stored for a long time will become an important source of nutrition in the shelters to survive the cold winter in the future, so as to ensure the balanced nutrition of the tribe members in the shelters during the process of taking refuge.

As time went by, the underground shelter had taken shape. A large number of workers gathered here to hammer and pound. They were not only building a shelter, but also building fortifications.

Since it has been anticipated that there will inevitably be a conflict with the Golden Family, the factory will no longer only produce canned food for daily life.

Heavy artillery was produced one after another. It was obvious that the huge artillery was not for human use. The diameter of the thick muzzle was two meters, and the length was more than ten meters. The structural strength of ordinary steel was difficult to support such a huge volume. Therefore, when manufacturing these huge cannons, some materials from giant beasts were often added. For example, the bones or fur of the giant beasts formed a composite material with higher strength. Only then could such a huge gun barrel be processed. And they were carried on the back of a huge wooden man. The structure itself was relatively simple. In the case of huge volume, only the structure of a bolt-action rifle could be used. Only in this way could these huge weapons have sufficient reliability.

Although this limits the speed of shooting, the huge size itself also brings huge power. You can imagine the terrifying destructive power of a huge bullet with a diameter of 2m, a length of more than meters, and filled with explosives, flying out of the barrel at supersonic speed. If it hits even a mountain, it will be blown flat by such a terrifying weapon. Most of the fifth-level masters dare not use their bodies or defensive killing moves to withstand such an attack head-on.

In addition to the oversized muskets used as weapons, the huge wooden figures were also covered with layers of steel armor, and the vines were wrapped around the armor, making them look like the shepherds' skin, tightly wrapping the entire wooden figure. They no longer looked like wooden figures, but more like iron men or mechas made entirely of mechanical structures.

A large number of war weapons have begun to be built, and everyone is preparing for the upcoming war. If you want to survive peacefully, you must face the war.

What came before the war was not the threat of the army. Instead, it was an envoy from the Golden Family. The huge power established by Lan Nuo was not regarded as the enemy of the Golden Family, but as a wild neutral NPC, just like those powerful people who lived in seclusion in the Conferred God War. Or in games and novels, those hermits who hid in the forest, when faced with such a being, they would naturally not launch an attack directly at first. Normal people would think about whether they could recruit them by peaceful means.
