Chapter 2 The Patriarch

'Fellow clansmen, it has been three years since Clan Chief Morgan rushed to the Vast Sea Forest with all of the clan's young and strong sons and daughters to participate in the war initiated by the Thunder Titans."

'They have yet to return, so I'm sure they must have buried their bones in the yellow sands long ago!"

'You all, in fact, are well aware of this, aren't you."

The old Eagleman's words were like a scar that tore open a wound, causing the Eaglemen of the tribe to hang their heads low.

Not long after, Mike heard, the sound of weeping coming from the surroundings.

The Eagleman warriors were so weak, they were useless except for their ability to fly.

On a battlefield as grand as that, it was like cannon fodder, and they would die in pieces if they were slightly affected by a strong person.

'Good thing, three years have passed, some of our children have grown up, they have been able to help their mother go out hunting. Mike its Mike, he even has the ability to kill a forest wolf on his own."

Eagleman continued.

Mike had killed a lone wolf on his own six months ago.

'All packs of wolves have a leader wolf, the tribe must not be without a leader."

'I propose that Mike succeed Morgan as the leader of our High Savage Mountain tribe!"

Eagleman finally stated his purpose.

He was too old, and the tribe was green and yellow, the only one who could serve as the patriarch was Mike, even though he was still a teenage Eagleman, he was no worse than an adult Eagleman.

When the old Eagleman's words fell, the first to agree were the teenage Eaglemen who were similar in age to Mike.

They had grown up with Mike and had long been convinced by him.

When the teenagers agreed, their mothers naturally did not object, and thus the entire tribe, almost half of the Eagleman agreed that Mike should become the new patriarch.

And, even for those who did not speak out, none of them objected.

Thus the dust settled!

The old Eagleman smiled broadly, walked up to Mike and asked with a smile.

'Mike, are you willing to take on the future of the High Savage Mountain Eagleman Tribe?"

As he asked, he also looked at Mike's stoic expression and nodded darkly.

Mike did not hesitate as he nodded solemnly.

'Clan Elder, I am willing to become the clan leader!"

The ancient savage land was dangerous everywhere, he had no transcendent power, the only way to survive was with the power of the clan.

He wasn't a player anymore, his life was one.

Becoming a tribal patriarch was also something he was willing to do in his heart.

After three years of living together, he was not a grass or tree, how could he be heartless.

'At the very least, I'm going to change the future fate of my tribe of Eagleman."

Mike said in his heart.

.......

Late night.

Moonlight sprinkled on the earth.

Mike lay on his back on the large green stone on the edge of the cliff, blowing the wind of the Starfield.

'Thinking about it."

'It's true that Old Turtle's mission didn't mention how to avoid being scorched by the Titan's blood."

'But since he was an ordinary turtle back then, he wouldn't have been too far away from the battlefield when he bathed in Titan's blood!"

Thinking of this, Mike's eyes lit up!

'In the early days of the rise of the human empire, the old turtle was famous in the world for his thunder power, so it's very likely that he was drenched in the blood of the Thunder Titan."

'And the Thunder Titan is the master of the entire Eagleman race."

'Turtles love water, the secret of the old turtle bathing in Titan's blood and not dying must be in the water!"

'As for where the water is, it must be in the Vast Sea Forest!"

'To be able to make the Thunder Titan Chatter, it must be his mortal enemy, the Blue Dragon King Arilatos!"

'Only a life and death battle between them would splash a large amount of Titan's blood showering down the forest and onto the old turtle's body."

'Then, the problem is clear. All I need to do is to find the creek and stream where the old turtle is perched, find the old turtle, and get the secret of how he bathed in Titan's blood and didn't die."

'Thus, awakening Transcendence!"

Mike's mind was instantly enlightened, and he continued to think downward.

'However, the Hays Forest is not for ordinary people. It is where the territories of the Titan Giants and the Gargoyles border, and is garrisoned by a large number of powerful subsidiary races from both sides."

'There will be no shortage of Transcendents from each race!"

'If I go there rashly, I will definitely be killed on the spot!"

'No one will care about the death of an Eagleman! Even if it's from the Titan side."

'And there is only one way to get there, and that is to respond to the Eagleman King's Court's call to arms as a member of the Eagleman soldiers to reach the Vast Sea Forest, just as my father did three years ago!"

'All I need to do is to move quickly after hearing the conscription order and head to the Vast Sea Forest ahead of time."

'Eagleman is supposed to be a scout general type of soldier, if I go early, I will definitely be chosen as a Scout Leo Squad, and at that time, I will be able to find a chance to search for the Old Turtle's hiding place."

As his thoughts were sorted out step by step, a preliminary plan was born in Mike's mind.

'The King's Court enlists Eagleman soldiers at various Eagleman tribes almost every ten years."

'Then, after only seven years, I must seize the opportunity!"

The Eagleman lived mountain by mountain for generations, and they were extremely fond of the land of the cliffs.

They lived around the tops of the mountains, cutting caves with stone tools.

High Savage Mountain was nothing more than an extremely unusual and visible hill in the world of Swift Fereland.

But the rumored Eagleman royal court lived on top of a tall mountain called 'Heaven Mountain"!

It was a huge and magnificent mountain, with tens of thousands of Eagleman living on it. It was the ancestral home of the Eagleman, and the Eagleman of the High Savage Mountain Tribe originated from it.

After Mike became the patriarch of the High Savage Mountain tribe, he began to remodel the environment in which the Eagleman lived.

The caves were safe, but after many generations of Eagleman life, the smell inside was very unpleasant and hygiene was always a problem.

The first year.

He sharpened stone axes, cut down trees, and led the clan to create dozens of wooden houses and beds that became new dwellings over the course of a year.

The original caves, with their wooden doors punched in, served as excellent storage places.

Eagleman's log cabin had two doors, one opening on the roof and one opening near the cliff for easy travel.

After building the cabin, he gathered his people and dug a hole in the center of the tribe and hewed a pool for the usual drinking water.

Mike arranged for the clan to fetch water specifically every day.

Then, he surrounded the group of huts with wooden walls, so that a small village was formed.

The safety of the village of wooden houses might be less compared to that of a cave, but Mike looked at the village in front of him, and for the first time, he felt the breath of civilization in the Mangwu land.

So far the heart is at peace.

The next winter.

Mike led the Eagleman boys to take advantage of the winter snowfall to find and kill several hibernating black bears in the Whispering Woods.

He grew in strength and skill, and changed into bearskin clothing himself.

It was warm.

Year Three.

Mike found a Wraith in the eastern part of the Whispering Woods.

Luckily, this magical beast was a deer-genus magical beast, although this magical beast was strong, its temperament was considered to be gentle, and it stayed in its own territory, allowing Mike and the others to let go of their hearts.

However, the desire to obtain transcendent power in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

The fourth year.

When Mike led the hunting team to go out hunting, he chased the bison and flew an extra three thousand meters to the west.

Here, he found an open copper mine!

This surprised him beyond words!

Copper!

This was something that could take them from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.

If they had copper, the High Savage Mountain tribe's strength could be raised by a large margin.

But soon, a patrolling Eagleman teenager flew in from further away and told him that there was a Snakeman tribe here.

The Snakeman tribe was likewise an affiliated race of the Titan Giants.

However, they and the Eagleman clan had been at war for generations, with their living ranges intertwined, and had been natural enemies since ancient times!

In ancient times, before the four-legged eagles evolved into Eagleman, they used to capture the Snakeman's ancestor, the two-legged snake, from time to time for consumption.

But when they received the gift of the Titan's enlightenment almost simultaneously and evolved into an intelligent race.

The Eagleman race's suppression of the Snakeman race disappeared.

The Snakeman's ability to reproduce was much stronger, and they were good at using bows and arrows.

Although the Eagleman had the advantage of flight, their eagle claws were too sharp and didn't quite support their archery.

Otherwise, a soldier type that could shoot arrows in the sky, even if it was just an ordinary mortal creature without transcendent power, would have a great advantage.

After considering it for a moment, the desire for copper in Mike's heart overcame his concern for the Snakeman tribe.

He asked in a deep voice.

'Oliver, that Snakeman tribe, how many Snakeman are there, and are there any Transcendent Snakeman?"

'Patriarch, I didn't look closely."

Oliver touched his head in embarrassment.

'It's fine, we'll just go take another look."

Mike didn't blame, after all, it was hard for Eagleman teenagers to have this kind of awareness, and it was already good enough to spot the Snakeman tribe.

He led a group of Eagleman teenagers to take to the air, and after leaping a few miles, he really found a small Snakeman tribe by a small river.

Mike hovered in the sky and observed, realizing that this small tribe was actually in a similar situation to theirs.

The long years of war had drained their vitality, and the tribe was basically full of old and weak women and children.

It was also true that Snakeman's survivability on the battlefield was even worse than Eagleman's, the cannon fodder of cannon fodder!
