At this time, Chihu was really happy, and the whole person felt like he was suddenly hit by a pie falling from the sky.

As I said earlier, orcs are good at forging but not at farming. If the orcs were allowed to farm, they would even eat up the seeds if they were impatient. As a result, human slaves who are skilled at farming are valuable assets to orcs.

They let human slaves reclaim the land and sow food for them. When the grain was ripe for harvest, they took ninety percent of the fields to feed their people.

Therefore, the orc kingdom can raise millions of orcs, and the fireblade tribe can raise 100,000 orcs.

However, because the exploitation was so cruel, the grain left behind was not enough to fill the stomach. In addition, they have to endure other exploitation and humiliation from the orcs. The number of human slaves living in orc kings has never increased.

Not only has it not even grown, but it is still slowly falling.

This is a big problem for any orc tribe. But the trouble is that even if some of the good few orcs have recognized the problem, there is no solution.

Compared to human slaves, the population of orcs belonging to the exploiters is growing. In the face of the continuous birth of orc babies, it is natural to continue to squeeze and exploit human slaves.

Therefore, today's orc kingdom and the vast majority of orc tribes have fallen into a vicious circle of "exploitation of human slaves - the increase of the orc population - the decline of the human slave population - the lack of food - feeding the population and increasing exploitation".

It seems that the growth of the orc population is still the beneficiary.

But if this continues, sooner or later, the level of exploitation of human slaves will exceed the maximum capacity of human slaves.

At that time, the human slaves who cannot survive will surely start a rebellion. And even if the rebellion fails, it will be enough to pull the orcs who survive on human farmers to destroy together.

As one of the few elite leaders with a long-term vision in the brute force race of orcs, Red Tiger also recognized this. That's why he found the old shaman of the tribe on the day the white wolf Geralt came to scout.

Hopefully, the old shaman will help him with this.

It's just that the old shaman can't do much about it. You can't let the orcs not have children.

Reproduction is the nature and instinct of any living being, and if they dare to do so, the people below will overthrow them.

But now, there is a solution.

"Now that we know that there is a large human city-state or human kingdom in the far east, it is enough to start a war and plunder more slaves.

With more human slaves, it is natural to be able to feed a larger population. And with a larger population, their Fireblade Tribe may be able to challenge the Strongshield Tribe. ”

Thinking like this in his heart, the patriarch of the Fire Blade Tribe, Chihu, secretly made up his mind.

"Wait until tomorrow spring, and organize an army to launch an expedition to the far east. I'm not the Steeltooth idiot, and the Fireblade isn't the bullshit iron sword. Whether it is a human city-state or a human kingdom that exists in the East, they will be destroyed by the plunder of the Fire Blade!"

Say it secretly. On the day of Zhu Xiao and Black Quartz's return, Red Tiger sent spies from their Fire Blade tribe in the direction of Xihe.

As he said, he was a lot smarter than his dead cousin, Steelfang.

It's just that all this, not to mention Xi and the humans over there, even Liang Tian never knew about it.

However, when Zhu Xiao and Black Quartz returned, the news they brought back still shocked Xihe and the tribe.

"It turns out that the orc kingdom is so powerful!"

In the holy land of the tribe, hearing his son's description, Tam, who was nearly 100 years old, couldn't help but feel emotional.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that we and Xihe won't be able to defeat these orcs so easily. But as long as these orcs come, it's good to kill some with their own hands. ”

Rammed said, getting up from his seat. In the room, the clansmen who had been looking at him couldn't help but raise their heads.

Although he is nearly 100 years old, he is still as strong as a bear when he is more than two meters tall. Because of Liang Tian's old relationship, this guy was extremely lucky to get Liang Tian's fourth blessing transformation.

Although his strength did not increase, his lifespan was extended to 200 years. This is also a new ability that Liang Tian obtained after the third transformation, prolonging his life.

It's just that until now, the total number of believers who have been extended by Liang Tian has not exceeded ten.

Because Liang Tian felt that this was the best gift he could give to believers at the moment, if he gave too much, the style of this reward would undoubtedly become lower.

But regardless of the style, Liang Tian didn't care about the bold words he said at this moment.

At this time, he still turned his attention to the capital of Xihe. After the outbreak of the war, Xihe was the first place to bear the brunt. Naturally, they attach more importance to the orc kingdom.

Therefore, after knowing the terrifying strength of the orc kingdom from Black Quartz. On the Xihe Kingdom's side, while learning from the Templars to form a knightly army, they also ordered to recruit people from eleven cities in the west to help build guard towers and fortresses in Xiping City, the westernmost part of the kingdom.

In the end, in terms of topography, if the enemy comes from the west, then Xiping City, which is located in the west, is a barrier that cannot be bypassed.

However, the overall territory of the Xihe kingdom is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, and the southern territory of Xihe king is the same as the southern territory of the tribe, which is a series of mountains.

And the trend of the mountain range is still more and more northerly from east to west. The northern part of the kingdom is low hills and forests, and its trend is exactly the opposite of that of the southern mountains of the kingdom, and it is more and more southerly from east to west.

Therefore, if you spread out the map of the kingdom, you can see at a glance that the city of Xiping, located in the westernmost part of the king, was built on the small gap plain between the southern mountains and the northern forest.

This is why the name of the city is Xiping City.

And because of this geographical location, if the orc army wants to attack Xihe, Xiping City is the first place to be attacked.

Therefore, the young King Xi XIII did not hesitate to mobilize nearly 20,000 people from eleven cities to build defensive outposts and fortresses for Xiping City.

However, after building a large number of outposts and forts, it is natural that there must be enough warriors to defend them.

As a result, the general of the kingdom naturally took over the defense of Xiping City.

Although Xihe is a city-state state, the city lord has great authority in his city. However, after the uninterrupted centralization of power from generation to generation in the kingdom, only 21 of the 63 cities in Xihe have retained hereditary qualifications.

That's exactly one-third of the total. And the remaining two-thirds, the lord of the city is directly appointed by the king. Therefore the king's power is still very great.
