Chapter 39: Returning to the Grassland (Seeking the First Order)

In previous years, small tribes in many parts of the Huiguang Grassland would be cleansed by hunters, the old and weak would be killed, and the valuable ones would be captured and sold into slaves in human society.

Therefore, in the past, every time during this time period, the Huiguang grassland would undergo a major purge, and the weak would be killed, and the wolf cavalry would go out to hunt down the hunters.

The law of the jungle is the cruelty of this world, and it is also the truest side of this world.

Due to their defeat, the orcs were banished to a very inhospitable realm, where it was difficult to grow crops. The temperature environment is very bad, hail in June, strong winds and downpours in July, it is more common, sometimes it only rains a hail that can kill cattle and sheep on the first day, and the next day is the scorching sun, the temperature is like fire. In such a varied climate, there are hardly any food crops that can survive on this grassland, except for the extremely resilient weeds.

The climate in the north is very cold, and further north, there are five months of winter in the year, such a long winter, so that the cultivation industry of the orc empire is extremely underdeveloped, and the grain can only be harvested once a year at most. In some places, it is not even possible to grow food at all, so they can only obtain daily necessities by fishing and hunting grounds.

However, the food that can be obtained from fishing and hunting is extremely unstable, sometimes it may be enough to eat a week's worth of prey a day, and sometimes it may not be able to catch a single prey for a whole month. The combination of factors such as food scarcity, population expansion, and severe climate has led to the Orc Empire, which yearns for the land of the human kingdom very much.

Not to mention farming, even grazing is a big risk, and it is impossible to get enough food just by grazing. At most, it can feed the orc tribe living in a grassland, and even if there is a slight surplus, it is mostly used in exchange for living materials.

Most of the orc races are pot-bellied men, so their food is very scarce, generally only for nobles and warriors to enjoy, civilians can only rely on themselves, and in wartime their food will be forcibly requisitioned as reserve food, so the life of orcs is very difficult.

Many orcs just can't stand the oppression and exploitation of the nobles, so they choose not to rely on their protection, and establish a settlement elsewhere to live, after all, there are some dirty transactions between many orc nobles and human nobles, and they also know some of them.

The land of the Huiguang grassland is fertile, and it is relatively easy to grow food, which is why many orc tribes gather here, and many orc nobles establish towns here, at least they will not starve if they live here.

Killed, sold into slavery, or starved to death, it is known from where the orcs choose to live and whose shelter they accept.

The grassland stretches out in three directions, north, west and east, and it is like a golden carpet on the earth. The golden carpet was dotted with wildflowers of various colors, adding colorful patterns to it, and there were flocks of white clouds of sheep wandering over the grassland, making them even less than half a point compared to the sky.

Faintly visible, a gray-white tent, like mushrooms dotted on the grassland, animal husbandry is also an important industry, orcs as herdsmen are more professional, back to the grassland of the orcs, basically eighty or ninety percent are herdsmen.

"This is the grassland, it's beautiful. Lin Tianxing breathed deeply, the sweet air with the smell of the grassland, and the original irritable mood was diluted because of the scenery in front of him, so his tone was a little leisurely.

"Yes, it's really a beautiful grassland, but the autumn hunt is to kill on such a grassland. As soon as she remembered what the purpose of the autumn hunt was, the kind-hearted Ye Tianxue had a unbearable look on her face, "Look at those herdsmen, they didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, they could have lived peacefully, but the hunters of the autumn hunt broke into their homes like robbers." ”

"Orc herdsmen, dismount is the people, and the horses are soldiers, don't look at those herdsmen who are very quiet and leisurely now. If you look closely, you will even think that they have a kind smile on their faces, like honest farmers, but once they step on horseback and pick up their knives and bows, you will find ...... They are more ferocious than wolves. ”

"The reason why the autumn hunt was born was actually just to fight back against the action of 'fighting the grass valley' at the beginning, if the orc empire did not make this move first, the autumn hunting activity would not have been able to go smoothly for so many years. ”

For this autumn hunt, Lin Tianxing has done a lot of homework, and he has also done some understanding of the origin of autumn hunting, the origin of autumn hunting is to fight back against the random ravages of wolf cavalry.

At the beginning, the original intention was good, just to resist the invasion of the wolf cavalry, just to hunt and kill the raging wolf cavalry, but human nature is greedy and ruthless, and later found that autumn hunting is profitable, so it has developed to the current situation.

"Alas!" Ye Tianxue sighed heavily, she didn't know what to say, who is who is wrong and this kind of thing, in fact, it is already difficult to say clearly, as long as the word interests are involved, there is no way to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.

"Let's go, go over and see what happens. "The Huiguang grassland is so big, it is difficult to find a team of hundreds of people, although those orcs will definitely not treat themselves, but there is always some communication between the orc tribes, they should know which tribal towns have been attacked, and that should be the masterpiece of the hunters, Lin Tianxing can get the general direction of progress.

The seven of them walked towards the herdsman tribe not far away, and when they were still a few hundred meters away from the tent, a few orc children were playing in front of the tent. After looking at Lin Tianxing angrily for a while, they rushed into the tent screaming.

Obviously, they had already recognized Lin Tianxing and the seven of them as human beings, and human beings were their enemies.

Soon a few tents rushed out, more than a dozen five big and three thick orc strong men, they were wearing simple leather armor, carrying scimitars in their hands and carrying bows and arrows, their faces were a little nervous and murderous at the same time, after seeing Lin Tianxing and a few people, they whistled and called for those war horses around the tent who did not even have a saddle.

When the war horse heard the call, it suddenly rushed over, and then obediently stopped beside the strong orc.

The orc men turned over their horses, stood in a row and stared nervously at Lin Tianxing, behind them, there were dozens of orc women, who also rushed out with weapons, but they were not for fighting, but to gather the children together and use their bodies to block the children behind them.

With a whoosh, an arrow shot at Lin Tianxing, and when the arrow entered the earth, the shaft of the arrow was still trembling.

There is no fighting spirit, it is just a brute force, and it has such power.

However, Lin Tianxing shook his head at this, this kind of demonstration was of little use to him, because it could only deal with ordinary people or ordinary soldiers, and it was really not enough for a person of his strength level.

Although the strength of these orcs in front of him was really not enough, with Lin Tianxing, they could easily take them down, but Lin Tianxing didn't want to fight them, so he stopped and confronted them from afar.

"Are you a human hunting team?" Before Lin Tianxing could think about what to say before he could alleviate this embarrassing situation, the orc man who shot the arrow ground spoke first.

"No, in fact, we are a caravan, and we are carrying out trade exchanges back and forth to the grasslands, making a lot of money in a muffled voice, robbing and slaughtering or something, and we have nothing to do with it at all. ”

"Now this season is the time of autumn hunting, and every time this period comes, there will be hunting teams from human countries to burn and kill and plunder on the grasslands. In this season, in order to avoid being mistaken for a hunting team, the human caravan will not appear on the grassland if it is attacked by us!" The orc man who seemed to be the leader said in a low voice, and after speaking, he glanced at Lin Tianxing with disdain, and the implication was that you should continue to talk nonsense.

"I'll go, and this stubble. Lin Tianxing didn't take this aspect into account, and he didn't think about it so much, this reason was made up by him first.

"So you are definitely not a caravan at all, you must be a hunting party, don't think that you only have seven people, you can make us let our guard down, you want to take advantage of our unguarded, suddenly burst out and attack us, do you think you can deceive us by such clumsy means? If you take us as hunting objects, then come to war, let's see if you are qualified to get the spoils from us!" The orc man roared in a low voice, his words were so impassioned, full of fighting intent, making people's blood boil!

"Woohoo, fight, fight, fight. "The orcs are mobilized to fight, the belligerent blood is boiling, they wield their weapons and shout, even if they die, they will not hesitate to fight. What's more, there are only seven people in front of him, and seven people should be able to fight in their tribe, so let's fight.

"This is the way orcs think about problems and solve problems, they are so simple, direct and savage. Lin Tianxing pursed his lips, shook his head and said: "It seems that in a civilized way, there is no way to communicate with them smoothly, and I don't want to be bloody, I want them to obediently listen to what I say, then give them a dismount and take a look, which of you will go?"

"Come on, I should have an easier time communicating with them, roar. Ash stepped forward and let out a wolf howl, his body swelled up, and a large amount of hair grew, and he transformed into a werewolf two and a half meters high. As the Moon-Eater Wolf of the Tsukimori Clan, Ash can create a small moon to carry around with him as long as he absorbs a certain amount of moonlight, so that the Tsukimori Clan can also transform during the day and exert his full strength.
