Section 7 Anse Zola
Although the orc tribes of the Western Continent occupy nearly half of the territory of the continent, the land is too poor, most of them are Gobi and deserts, and the living environment is extremely harsh, except for raising a small number of cattle and sheep, they can only grow a kind of sand bean crop, and there is an extreme lack of salt and sugar.
Three hundred years ago, when the orcs were just driven to the Western Continent by humans, they were almost wiped out by the harsh environment, and the orcs who were able to survive not only inherited the bravery and fearlessness of their ancestors, but also gained unimaginable tenacity.
Later, the orcs discovered extremely rich mineral resources in the western continent, especially iron ore and other rare veins of great strategic value, and even precious metal veins were quite rich.
But what the orcs don't know is that the clever goblins have signed long-term trade agreements with humans with these high-quality ores, and humans have used these ores to trade with the dwarves of the Lordaan mountain bunkers in exchange for a large amount of weapons and equipment...
Nearly half of these weapons and equipment even passed through the goblins and reached the orc tribe.
At first, the goblins wanted to trade directly with the dwarves, but their grievances thousands of years ago caused the dwarves to blast the goblins out of their territory, and the tariffs of human towns along the way discouraged the goblin merchants...
When the orcs learned that nearly half of the ore they exported fell into the hands of humans, they once stopped trading with goblins, but they could not hold out for two years, because the barrenness of the western continent forced the orcs to accept the goblin trade, and the inheritance of their own forging technology had long been lost in the war, and even if they had ore, they could not make decent tools and equipment.
The abundant mineral resources allowed the orcs to recuperate, and their perseverance has been passed down from generation to generation, until today's thriving and large tribe.
After the day stabilized, the orc tribe began to dream of returning to the land of their ancestors, so every once in a while, they launched a large-scale war against the Locke Empire!
But each time it ended in failure...
However, the orcs did not lose faith, believing that one day they would take back everything that belonged to them.
Now that they have seen the dawn of victory in the decaying human empire, there is the largest war in three hundred years.
......
In the early morning of May 4, when the sun slowly climbed to the top of the Ancro Mountains and dispelled the darkness of the continent, the huge military camp at the foot of the mountain, which stretched for twenty miles, also emerged from the dark mist.
Since the middle of last month, several major clans have held a joint meeting, and the warriors of the entire orc clan have been gathering here.
After half a month, the assembled orc warriors have exceeded 30,000.
And today, this unit will serve as the vanguard of the orcs to assault the human defenses in the Black Mountain Pass, clearing the way for the main army that is assembled behind.
"Hum... Hum..."
Just when the sun was shining on the earth, the continuous sound of bull horns resounded in the Chinese army camp, and then, the horns of all the camps resounded in the sky one after another, and the huge sound seemed to shake the Ancro Mountains trembling slightly.
The relatively quiet camp became noisy at the sound of the horns, and the centurions of the various camps shouted as they waved their long whips: "Quick, check your weapons, helmets, and shields, any omission could cost you your life." ”
The quality of orc warriors is good, and even recruits can complete the commander's military orders well, because, long before enlisting in the army, their parents will teach them the military commands and simple drills in advance.
More than ten minutes later...
The horns stopped, and the camp became quiet again.
All the soldiers had formed their formations, and they looked silently at the hillside, where a huge battle flag fluttered back and forth in the warm spring breeze.
This is the battle flag of the Great Chief of Shikan, embroidered with three huge battle axes and a silver tree.
And Shi Kan was also looking at them, looking at the endless army in the camps...
This moment...
This picture...
The aura exuded by the more than 30,000 beast warriors and the ambition of their young Great Chieftain rivaled even the majestic Ancro Mountains, and their heavy breathing could make the snow on the Ancro Mountains melt faster.
"Let's go, the warriors are hungry and thirsty!" said Shikan Silver Axe to the flag bearer beside him.
Hearing this, the flag bearer only nodded coldly, and then waved the command flag in his hand...
At the same time, the Grand Chief of Shikan walked out of his camp under the escort of his own soldiers, and then slowly walked along the main road of the barracks, and as his team passed through the various camps, the assembled soldiers joined the ranks one after another under the leadership of their respective centurions.
The troops are pulled out...
For a moment, even the entire sky and earth trembled...
The human scouts, who had been observing the orc camp in the surrounding area, suddenly changed their faces after detecting this situation, and they turned on their horses as fast as they could, and galloped in the direction of Anku Fortress.
...
The current commander of the fortress is Count Anse Zola, whose father is the younger brother of the old Duke of Bogue.
Count Anse took over command of the fortress from his father, and the father and son had been guarding the fortress for more than fifty years, while Anse himself had been transferred to the fortress after his son's birth, and that time had been there for thirty years...
He swore that he would not let his son continue to live like this again.
So, he sent his son to the Drake Mage Tower in advance to learn magic, and ordered him not to step into the Clann Collar in the future!!
Although the Earl of Anse was selfish, there was no one to do it...
And it all started with the war eleven years ago.
Eleven years ago, just two years after Emperor Laubert was crowned emperor, the orcs wanted to launch a large-scale invasion war when the Locke Empire had just experienced a civil war and was exhausted.
However, this invasion of the orcs was ended before it could begin.
Because, Count Anse, who had received the information in advance, took advantage of the gap between the orcs to gather the army and commanded the fortress army to take the initiative to attack... With a legion of 15,000 men, he crushed the entire 50,000 main force that the orc tribe had just assembled at the foot of Mount Ancro...
Then, he even led his troops deep into the territory of the Two-Headed Clan for a time, and the vanguard army had fought all the way to the outskirts of the Two-Headed Clan's main city, Lacnivi, if it weren't for the fact that the follow-up supplies could not keep up, perhaps the current Two-Headed Clan would have become history.
However, Count Anse did not become a hero of the Locke Empire, and the war he commanded was not rewarded by the Empire, and some people even accused him in the cabinet of being eager for success and profit, regardless of the safety of the Empire!
Because, at that time, in order to attack the orc camp at the foot of Mount Ankro, Count Anse transferred nearly ninety percent of the troops of Anku Fortress.
Therefore, after a glorious victory, the Imperial Military Department sent an emissary to hold it accountable, but the emissary of the Military Department was finally stopped in the city by the elderly Duke Baoge and sent someone to 'send' the Imperial Military Headquarters.
This incident was a very big blow to Count Anse, and his ambition was also exhausted by this incident, and now he is like a soulless commander, doing everything like a textbook.
