Chapter 197

This novel named "The Age of Dinosaurs" by Adam is completely different from Adam's previous novels. It can be said that although the genres of the previous novels are divided into science fiction and fantasy, the content is also very different, but once you open the novel and read it After a few verses, you will instantly recognize that it is Adam's handwriting.

The writing style of Adam's novels is mediocre, not comparable to that of the author who wrote the classic novel "The Great Gatsby". The big regret is that it is not as rough and rough as Hemingway's writing, but it gives people a sense of reality that hits the face and inspires people's blood.

Adam is a popular novelist. Except for the "Colony", his novels still have some literary value, and the others are just for the readers' entertainment. He uses waves of plots to keep grasping It catches the reader's eyes, and people can't help but turn down page by page. It is not until the end of the novel that they take a long breath.

His novels are good-looking, exciting, and can stimulate readers' adrenal glands, but no one would classify his novels as classics. At most, he would add a sci-fi classic as a compliment.Of course, Adam does not have the ambition to say that he is determined to write a so-called literary classic that caters to more high-end readers. In his opinion, novels serve readers. As long as readers are satisfied, and he himself is comfortable and satisfied, that is enough.

However, this novel seems to have broken some of the writing rules that Adam has always followed. It no longer uses rhythm to promote the plot, and the text is more solid, as if it is heading towards the path hoped by countless critics.

The wedge of the novel uses a great battle as the opening, but it does not use a tense rhythm to describe this fierce battle. Instead, it starts from one side of the battle, the slaves of the tribe called the Terrorclaw.

Thousands of slaves with an average height of about seven meters were carrying all the items needed for the war between the two tribes, including food, tents, utensils and even weapons. They staggered behind, silent like machines.

And in front of them are hundreds of riders, the Dreadclaw tribe riding wild beasts. They chat with each other in their unique language. From these chatting words, they reveal the whole story of the upcoming war. There are two small and medium-sized tribes with thousands of people and tens of thousands of slaves. They belong to the Lutong State. Because the two tribes are close to each other, and their pastures and water sources are connected, conflicts often occur. This time, it is precisely because of the water distribution problem of the Modo River that runs through the two tribes. This year coincides with the drought, and the plants in the pastures and manors are seriously short of water. Both parties want to occupy more water resources, but there is only so much water. , There are always fewer people and more people, and the contradictions are naturally irreconcilable. There are small-scale frictions, and there are some casualties. The elders who are in charge of the order of the Lutong State have noticed this. The Great War as a method of resolving conflicts.

After the Council of Elders made a decision, various battle regulations were quickly arranged, such as the location and time of the battle—at noon on a certain day on the border between the two sides, the two tribes had no meaning for it, so this A tribal battle triggered by a water source is officially established.

So when it came to the day of the battle, the Dreadclaw tribe mobilized the warriors in the tribe to equip themselves with armor early in the morning, and led the slave tribe to the border between the two sides before the sun rose to its highest point at noon.Due to the clumsiness and slowness of the slaves, the arrival time was greatly delayed. Therefore, even if they set off just after dawn, they would still arrive at noon, while the Iron Heel tribe was one step ahead of them. Mouth fight.

However, they were interrupted by members of the Presbyterian Church who arrived earlier without the encumbrance of the slaves. The two parties returned to their own tribal domain angrily. Take your weapon and prepare to fight the opponent.

Arriving at noon, all the people prayed to heaven under the auspices of the elders. After the prayer, the elders retreated to the distance, while the warriors of the two tribes mounted each other's mounts, picked up special tribal warfare weapons, and under the organization of the patriarch Attack.

The battle on the battlefield lasted for an hour. The fearless Dreadclaw Tribe had amazing fighting spirit. At the cost of the bleeding hands of more than 50 people, they injured hundreds of members of the Iron Heel Tribe. Can admit defeat and surrender.

As a loser, the Iron Heel Tribe will naturally not get away so easily, he must accept the punishment of failure - under the witness of the Elders, the Iron Heel Tribe had to personally cut off the heads of [-] slaves as their The first price of failure. (In the beginning of the great battle between the Horn tribes, the winners beheaded all the local tribes who were unwilling to surrender, because the number of Horns was too small. After several large-scale wars, the number of Horns was greatly reduced. In order to maintain this tradition, but It also ensured the number of Horrors, so it was finally decided to replace them with the lives of Horrors dozens of times more than Horrors.)

Although the fear slaves of the Iron Heel tribe were terrified, they were driven out one by one by Iron Heel tribe warriors, and their heads were chopped off with special machetes, and the blood of the slave tribe was used as a shameful mark of failure.

The battle was over, and under the auspices of the elders, the two sides prayed again in the blood of the stinky slaves. After the prayers, they returned to their respective teams and assembled for the return journey. If they walked fast, they could even catch up at dinner time. As the winner, the Dreadclaw Tribe will definitely have a grand celebration banquet tonight.

However, for the Dreadclaw Tribe, the biggest gain of this battle is that the Iron Heel Tribe lost the right to build a dam on the Modo River. There will be great relief.

On the way back, the warriors of the Dreadpaw Tribe happily sang victory songs to celebrate the victory of this battle, and the Dreadclaw slaves who were tense had escaped, not as silent as when they came, and occasionally Say a few words with the companions around you, and there is a little smile on your face.

But relatively speaking, the Iron Heel Tribe ushered in an unprecedented defeat. With the surviving Horror Slaves, the Iron Heel Tribe returned dejectedly.Not only did they lose hundreds of strong slave men, but more importantly, they will no longer be able to build dams to intercept water, which will greatly reduce their harvest this year.

Unlike the Horn tribe who cared more about the harvest, in the Horn slave settlement of the Iron Heel Tribe, the Horn slaves who had finished all their work waited nervously at the gate of the settlement for the return of their companions who were taken to serve as the supply unit.

A wedge of about [-] words, neither too many nor too few words, was used by Adam to use a tribal conflict to thoroughly display the social relations of this terrifying era, bloody and wild, but following a certain An extremely strict set of regulations.

This seemingly absurd battle took a lot of preparation time for the two tribes, but it ended quickly and easily. Except for those innocent terrorist slaves who died innocently, it seemed that there was not much change, but many conflicts and contradictions were still there. Being hidden in the wedge paves the way for the official plot later.

The author has something to say: It’s so hard to write an original story. It’s very exciting to think about it, but it’s a bit short of breath when I write it. I’m not happy. I wrote [-] words for three or four hours, although I’m still not satisfied. , but so be it.

If there are no accidents, there will be another chapter on Sunday. As for next week, I still can't give a specific update time, it depends on the situation.
