The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the middle of July (January) of the first year of barbarism, on this day, when Ning Yuan was riding a white horse and galloping on the grassland with the Condor knights, a sudden news made him have to cancel his plan to continue walking his horse.

System: "Dear Lord Ningyuan, thanks to the success of your tribe in crafting iron weapons, the population exceeds 10,000 people, and the number of soldiers exceeds 1,000, congratulations on your territory entering the Bronze Age, and good luck." ”

Ning Yuan was happily walking the horse, but he didn't expect that walking the horse could also walk close to the Bronze Age, which made him a little dazed for a while.

The passage from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age was conditional on the successful creation of bronze or iron weapons, with a total population of 10,000 tribes and more than 1,000 soldiers.

All sapient races are subject to these three progression conditions, with the exception of the Orcs, who only need to meet the demographic condition, as they are born with their own weapons.

It stands to reason that Ning Yuan's Condor Tribe has already met this condition, but the system has not allowed the Condor Tribe to advance, and Ning Yuan guesses that the problem should be with the weapon.

Due to the limited skill level of the blacksmiths in the Condor tribe before, although they successfully created "iron" weapons, the level of craftsmanship was really unimpressive.

Not to mention the ugly appearance, it is only better than stone axes and stone spears to use, they are all half-finished things, and even some weapons are not even semi-finished.

Maybe Nuwa thinks that these "weapons" are not qualified weapons, so she has not let the Condor tribe advance for a long time.

Well, now that they've suddenly advanced, it's likely that the dwarves of Sosa Warhammer have managed to craft some kind of weapon.

It seems that these dwarfs are still powerful, and they really deserve to be natural forgers.

Although Ning Yuan didn't have any dwarf technology after subduing the dwarf race, the dwarf race brought its own technology after all.

Although their level of technology was not high at that time, they had already been initially exposed to forging, coupled with the various forging drawings that the Condor tribe had, so it was not surprising that they could successfully forge qualified weapons.

After returning to the camp, Ning Yuan handed over the daily management of White Horse City to Black Eagle, and early the next morning, he rode a white horse and marched towards Divine Eagle City with fifty cavalry.

Since the White Horse King couldn't leave the wild horse herd, Ning Yuan chose a mount for himself again, and as for who would be responsible for grazing the wild horse herd after he left, Ning Yuan had already prepared for this.

After deciding not to requisition the White Horse Queen, he rarely rode it, and in order to get the horses into habit, he asked the warriors to open the gates on time every day to let the horses out, and then bring them back on time.

Over time, the horses gradually developed a habit.

One day, Ning Yuan deliberately did not go out with the herd, but under the leadership of the other Condor Knights, the herd still returned to the camp on time.

They were used to this kind of life, so even if Ning Yuan left, there was nothing to worry about.

The journey of more than a hundred kilometers would normally take only three or four hours to arrive, but because there was a dense primeval forest between Condor City and White Horse City, even if Ning Yuan and his party were all riding horses, they still walked for a full day.

Although the grassland white horses are outstandingly fast, they can't be fast in the forest anyway, so Ning Yuan simply let them take a slow walk in the forest.

After returning to Condor City, Ning Yuan immediately found Bai Ze, Bai Shihai and the others, and asked them about the specific situation of weapon building.

Taking the Longquan Sword handed over by Sosa Warhammer, Ning Yuan gently touched the blade of the sword with his fingers, and when he was not careful, a small cut was immediately made on his finger.

Looking at the bleeding fingers, Ning Yuan was overjoyed, and immediately asked Sosa Warhammer:

"Sosa, is it difficult to build this Longquan sword, how many can you build in a day?"

"Back to Dashuai, a Longquan sword requires two dwarven craftsmen to take turns hammering for a day to take shape, and there are currently forty dwarves in the camp who have mastered this technique, and they can forge twenty Longquan swords every day."

Hearing Ning Yuan's question, Sosa replied after thinking about it.

"Aren't you dwarves born blacksmiths? Why are only forty people mastering this technique, is it so difficult that the other dwarven warriors are so difficult to master? ”

Hearing that only twenty Longquan swords could be mass-produced every day, Ning Yuan was very dissatisfied.

"Dashuai, although the dwarf clan is good at blacksmithing, the Longquan Sword has high requirements for the craftsman's forging skills, and the houses in the tribe that can be used for the craftsmen to work are limited, so at present, only a small number of dwarf warriors have come into contact with the work of blacksmithing, and other dwarf warriors have no chance to participate at all."

Sosa's heart also wanted all the dwarven warriors to participate, but unfortunately the conditions in Condor City were limited, and he didn't have anything to do about it.

After listening to Sosa's complaint, Ning Yuan's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Although he is very good at fighting wars and everything, he is a complete rookie when it comes to developing territory.

And in the past half a year or so, he doesn't seem to care much about the development of the territory, and everything is handed over to Bai Shihai, and he himself is simply a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Shi Hai, if I want to build more blacksmith shops in a short period of time, is it difficult?"

For Bai Shihai, Ning Yuan felt a little guilty from the bottom of his heart, after all, the big and small affairs in the territory were handled by Bai Shihai, and he, the lord, would only sit on the side and enjoy the results, so he couldn't talk to Bai Shihai at all now.

"Lord Hui, now that the weather is cold, it is not suitable for building houses at all, if you have to expand the production scale of Longquan Sword, then you can only vacate some houses."

Bai Shihai was very uninterested in the official position of Ning Yuan, he was still used to calling Lord Ning Yuan.

"Forget about the dwellings or something, in the winter, you can't let others sleep on the streets, then wait for the beginning of spring."

Hearing Bai Shihai say that he wanted to vacate the residence, Ning Yuan immediately shook his head, what are you kidding, it is freezing to death in this cold weather.

"Dashuai, I heard Lord Bai Shihai mention the people's house just now, and my subordinates thought of a good idea, but it was just a little disturbing to the people."

Seeing that Ning Yuan was a little disappointed, Sosa immediately spoke.

"Oh, Sosa, if you have any great ideas, tell them quickly."

Hearing Sosa say that there was a way, Ning Yuan was immediately shocked, and as for disturbing the people, he directly ignored the two words.

After organizing the words in her head, Sosa said slowly:

"That's right, Sir, we have a lot of bachelors in the dwarf clan, and several of them share a stone house, and my subordinates suggest that we can temporarily convert the stone houses of these bachelors into a blacksmith shop.

In this way, they can forge weapons in the stone house during the day and continue to sleep in the stone house at night.

Although the conditions are a little tougher, we dwarves are the toughest warriors, and this hardship is nothing to us, but we are afraid that the movement of their weapons is relatively large, and the other residents in the vicinity will not be able to stand it. ”

The blacksmith shop was hammered and pounded every day when it was forged, and the movement was so loud and monotonous that ordinary people would become impetuous, and in order to rush the work, the craftsmen would work late into the night every day, so these blacksmiths were built far away from the residential area, in order to prevent noise from disturbing the people.

Now Sosa has solved the problem of not having enough blacksmith shops for Ning Yuan, and the rest of the problems have to be solved by Ning Yuan himself, but Ning Yuan has no good way, so he can only ask Bai Shihai for help: "Shihai, look? ”

Looking at Ning Yuan's eyes asking for help, Bai Shihai stroked his forehead and sighed helplessly, hey, I really don't know if it is his luck or his misfortune to be greedy for such a lord.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will coordinate and try to gather all the dwarves' residences into one area, so that the problem of disturbing the people should be solved."

In fact, this kind of problem is easy to say, but difficult to say.

It's simple because with just one command, Shiraishi can make everyone automatically exchange houses with others.

It is difficult to say because everyone has the mood of loving home, as the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennel.

When people get used to living in a place, and you suddenly let them move, they will have a certain amount of resistance, and this resistance needs to be smoothed out by Bai Shihai, as for whether to give others some material compensation, or to enlighten by doing ideological work, it all depends on Bai Shihai's own mood.

"Okay, then it's hard for you."

Seeing that Bai Shihai agreed, Ning Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he first comforted Bai Shihai, and then set his eyes on Bai Ze.

"I'm in a hurry to come back this time, and there is another very important thing, that is, the enemies that will come to our plane in the future will become stronger and stronger, so you must be mentally prepared in advance."

"Dashuai, what kind of strong method is it?" Bai Ze asked puzzled.

"Well, how to say, most of the enemies of the previous stage will choose to withdraw on the third day, and the new enemies, they will stay with us for ten days, or even three months.

And their strength is also stronger, although their weapons may not be comparable to the Longquan Sword we have here, but they will also be very sharp, so we must be prepared to fight a protracted battle. ”

Regarding the rules of dimensional warfare, Ning Yuan didn't want to explain too much to Bai Ze and the others, he only said some things that needed attention.

"Please rest assured, the subordinates will start to send more people to patrol from today, and they will definitely not let the enemy take advantage of it."

After listening to Ning Yuan's introduction, Bai Ze immediately knew in his heart, and sending more people to the patrol team was only the first step.

"By the way, Sosa, in addition to the Longquan Sword, you must also develop other equipment with drawings as soon as possible, I came back this time and brought back fifty grassland white horses, from now on, our Condor tribe will have its own cavalry, and the equipment of these cavalry will depend on you dwarves."

Cavalry was the most expensive type of troops in the Cold Weapon Age, and in addition to good horses, they also needed knightly swords, knightly spears, and knightly armor.

Of course, these three things are only standard equipment for cavalry, in addition, they can also be equipped with bows and crossbows and javelins, and these equipment can only be handed over to the dwarven craftsmen now.

"Please rest assured, our dwarven clan will definitely work day and night, and strive to create all kinds of equipment for the marshal as soon as possible."

After hearing Ning Yuan's advice, Sosa immediately patted his chest and responded, and after making a guarantee, he looked at Ning Yuan and continued:

"Dashuai, although the grassland white horses you brought back are incomparably powerful, they are too tall and not suitable for us dwarves to ride, do you want to get a batch of mounts for our dwarf clan."

It was clear that Sosa was a cavalry mount, but as he said, the steppe horse was too tall for them to be ridden by the dwarves.

Looking at Sosa with a greedy face, Ning Yuan smiled, this dwarf really can't hide anything.

"Don't worry, as long as you find a mount suitable for the dwarves to ride, I will get it back for you as soon as possible, you just need to concentrate on building equipment now, and I will solve the matter of the mount for you."

There are also many kinds of mounts suitable for dwarves, such as those sturdy big rock sheep and big wild boars in the movie, if you really can't find these mounts, Ning Yuan can also go to find them to dismount.

The height of the horse is only about one meter and one meter, which is just suitable for dwarves to ride, but these dwarf ponies who live in the south of China in reality don't know if they are good to find in the game.
