56: Chapter 56 Wolf Luo's Shock, Zhao Feng's Intimidation

As the tribe's population grew, Zhao Feng built a residential house near the warehouse to serve as a canteen for the tribe's management and commanders.

Naturally, Lang Luo and his companions were hosted there.

The house had been specially renovated, so it was quite spacious. Although the interior was still very simple, it looked clean and impressive.

The Qin Tribe had basically established a System of private ownership and possessed simple concepts of Rank. Therefore, there was now etiquette regarding seating at the dining tables.

Zhao Feng and the Shaman, as Clan Chief and Elder, sat above the steps at the very front. The others were arranged on the left and right sides according to their Rank, with the envoy seated at the head of the right side.

The canteen was not dim; large windows were left on all sides to allow daylight to stream in fully. The center of the house was also left open, forming an atrium, making it very bright.

Although the sunlight of the Planet of the Dead could not shine in directly, the sky was still very bright at noon, and Lang Luo could clearly see the food in front of him.

The food was sumptuous, featuring not only roasted meat, fruits, and meat soup, but also wheat rice. Of course, he did not know what wheat rice or meat soup were, nor did he recognize the vessels containing the food.

"Is this some kind of exquisitely polished stone tool?"

Zhao Feng chuckled inwardly. This envoy had actually never seen pottery; it seemed the large tribes of the Planet of the Dead had only just entered civilization.

Lang Luo, however, was secretly annoyed. "Who leaked the secret of fire? Decades ago, The Ten Great Tribes made an agreement to seal off the method of creating fire and forbid any tribe from spreading it. But looking at this roasted meat, the Qin Tribe's use of fire is already very common."

The meat soup before him was delicious, but Lang Luo certainly could not bring himself to be happy.

"Everyone, let us welcome Envoy Lang Luo from the Mad Wolf Tribe. Let's all drink up!" Zhao Feng raised a bowl of steaming meat soup and said loudly.

"Cheers!" everyone said in unison.

The three from Lang Luo's party also learned to pick up their bowls and raise them.

The temperature of the meat soup was just right. After setting the bowls down, female Farmers came over with pottery jars to refill them for everyone.

"Come, eat!" Feeling hungry, Zhao Feng picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and began to eat.

The people below all came from the age of empires System and had no trouble using chopsticks. As for the three from Lang Luo's party, after struggling and failing to use them, they simply picked up the food with their hands and started gnawing.

After eating until half-full, Lang Luo finally said, "Clan Chief Qin, do you have any objections to the mobilization order?"

Zhao Feng smiled and said, "I have no objections, but I do not know when and where we are to assemble?"

Lang Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "That is good. Seven days and nights from now, the Mad Wolf Cavalry will come to guide you there. You just need to be prepared."

With the important business settled, everyone relaxed, exchanging stories about their customs, and the host and guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

After the meal, Lang Luo said to Zhao Feng, "Clan Chief Qin, I also brought thirty elite Wolf Cavalry. I ask that you allow them to enter for supplies and rest."

Zhao Feng agreed casually and then had the guards go pass the order to Meng.

"Shall we go take a look at the might of the Mad Wolf Cavalry together?" Zhao Feng said to Lang Luo with a smile.

"Please." Lang Luo smiled proudly.

The group arrived outside the city, where several Farmers were building a camp for the Mad Wolf Cavalry. Beside the camp, a group of purple-red cavalrymen were resting.

Seeing Lang Luo appear, those cavalrymen stood up abruptly, stood beside their giant wolves, and saluted with a chorus of short howls.

These Wolf Cavalry were covered in purple-red fur and did not wear armor. Their bodies were slightly taller than the Grey Werewolf, reaching about 1.8 meters.

Unlike the Grey Werewolf, they carried weapons—some bone scimitars. The scimitars were crudely made, but their lethality could not be underestimated.

The purple-red giant wolves were slightly stronger and larger than the grey giant wolves, looking like brown bears. Their fur was sleek, their muscles strong, and they looked very formidable.

Unlike the grey wolves, these giant wolves were strictly disciplined. Although they were a bit restless seeing a large number of people gathering around, they still did not make a single sound.

"How about it? My Wolf Cavalry can be considered elite, right?" Lang Luo said proudly.

Zhao Feng smiled and clapped his hands.

Someone on the city wall waved a signal flag.

Lang Luo didn't notice, only assuming that the bumpkins of the Qin Tribe were completely shocked by his elite troops, and laughed heartily.

He turned around and patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder, saying, "Clan Chief Qin, there is no need to worry. As long as you work diligently for us, everything will... Uh!"

Before he could finish his sentence, it was choked back. Lang Luo's hand froze. "What is this?"

Thump, thump, thump...

Heavy footsteps rang out. Turning around, he saw a group of golden monsters.

Leading them were three monsters like Hammerhead Rhinos. Lang Luo had seen Hammerhead Rhinos and knew this monster had astonishing strength and thick skin, but he believed he had never seen a Hammerhead Rhino covered in thick, golden-yellow hide, let alone the equally golden humanoid creatures on their backs.

After being stunned for a moment, Lang Luo realized this must be a type of equipment similar to leather armor. But looking at that thickness, it was simply despair-inducing.

It wasn't just those few Hammerhead Rhinos. Behind the Hammerhead Rhinos were knights who were also golden. Those knights rode on monsters covered in ferocious spikes, looking full of Evil Qi.

Zhao Feng watched the dumbfounded Mad Wolf Tribe werewolves and the alien tribe, unable to help feeling proud in his heart.

"Fortunately, to show off our might to the alien tribes, several top experts of the Qin Tribe joined forces a few days ago to smelt copper Ore and create many full sets of knight equipment for show. Coupled with the scout cavalry, they looked just like the Paladins from the age of empires, full of might, and in one stroke, they intimidated the Mad Wolf Tribe."

"What is this?" Lang Luo quickly calmed down and asked.

Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said, "These are my Qin Tribe's Overlord Knights. What does the envoy think?"

"The Qin Tribe is indeed strong in troops and horses." Lang Luo quickly withdrew the wariness in his eyes and praised.

"The Mad Wolf Tribe is also worthy of the name of one of The Ten Great Tribes under heaven." Zhao Feng praised in return.

The two looked at each other and laughed heartily; as for what they were thinking inside, that was unknown.

After the Mad Wolf Cavalry had rested, Lang Luo stood up and said to Zhao Feng, "Clan Chief Qin, I still need to notify other tribes, so I will take my leave now. Please do not forget our agreement."

"I certainly will not forget. Since the envoy has business to attend to, I will not keep you. Safe travels." Zhao Feng did not try to keep him; the Mad Wolf Tribe had already turned into a light red dot on the map, and they were destined to be enemies in the future.

"Good." The three from Lang Luo's party let out a low howl. Three giant wolves ran out from the werewolf troop, quickly came before them, and lowered their front paws.

"Clan Chief Qin, farewell." Lang Luo said loudly.

Zhao Feng nodded. "Farewell."

"Ooh-ooh!" The Mad Wolf Cavalry shouted in unison, and in the blink of an eye, they kicked up dust and rode away, leaving completely.

Watching the departing Wolf Cavalry, although Zhao Feng remained calm on the surface, he was more anxious in his heart, and his desire for the Copper Age grew stronger. Looking at the alien tribes in the distance, he whispered to the Shaman, "Shaman, accelerate the assimilation of the remaining tribes. We need stronger power."

"Understood, Leader."

"In addition, you can pause or slow down the collection of other Materials and quickly mine copper Ore to upgrade the age as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Large numbers of manpower were sent out; Farmers, soldiers, merchants, and alien tribes—every ounce of strength was utilized.

As cart after cart of copper Ore was hauled in along the simple dirt road, the resources in the tribe became more and more abundant, getting closer and closer to the upgrade target.

Food: 8925

Wood: 6745

Stone: 3450

Copper Ore: 1890

...

After one night, the text for the Copper Age on the System interface finally lit up; the conditions were met.

"Upgrade."
