Chapter 52: The Invasion of the Iron Sword
The Orcs, also known as the Sasks, founded a nation called Chirui more than 200 years ago.
However, unlike Xihe, a kingdom of city-states, Chirui was made up of tribes.
So their king was also the great patriarch of the tribe.
And the current team of orc warriors are all from a tribe called Iron Sword in the easternmost part of Chirui.
This tribe had just separated from the Fireblade Tribe, one of the five major tribes of Chirui. Therefore, the patriarch of the Iron Sword Tribe is the cousin of the patriarch of the Fire Blade Tribe.
But no matter what, the Iron Sword Tribe is just a nascent tribe waiting to be rebuilt.
So they lack everything, especially slaves, human slaves.
The orcs are natural warriors and are highly skilled in blacksmithing. In addition, their people are very poor at farming, and even their ability to graze cattle is very rudimentary.
Because of this, they especially needed human slaves who were skilled in farming to produce food for them.
It's just that in the existing territory, they have already swept away all the human city-states and human tribes.
Therefore, in order to obtain slaves, the patriarch of the Iron Sword Tribe could only turn his gaze to the unknown region of the vast east. In the hope of finding traces of human beings in the East, what they call the slave race.
And that's what this group of orcs is here for.
However, according to the orc warrior in front of them, they only attacked two explorer squads before and after. One was the one who killed their captain's pet, and the other was the one who had the misfortune to have an encounter with them.
Obviously, like human explorers, these orcs have formed many teams.
Therefore, after learning all this, the Border Witch immediately gave the order to return the same way.
But she was afraid that without her and these Templars guarding it, the border town and possibly would be attacked by other orc teams.
The Border Witch's fears were justified, after all, these orcs weren't here for peace.
But she didn't expect that at this moment, what she was worried about had already happened.
This frontier town, known as the Crown, is a place for many explorers to settle down and turn in quests, and is one of the few human settlements in the deserted Wild West.
Therefore, an orc team also discovered this after deliberately letting go of the two explorers. It's just that considering that they have too few men, they don't blindly attack the town.
Instead, after contacting the other three companions in the way they had agreed upon, the sixty orc warriors attacked the town while the border witch was extorting confessions.
The average height of these orc warriors is more than two meters, and ordinary human warriors are really not enough to look at in front of them.
Unless it's a Templar who has been blessed by Liang Tian. Not only can you deal with them, but you can even fight against them. However, the original Templars in this border town only had thirty people, and twenty of them had gone deep into the wilderness with the border witches.
The remaining ten, even if they can defeat two with one, they are still invincible with two fists.
Thankfully, there are more than a hundred men in the town who can take up arms and fight.
Together, they were able to resist the attacks of these orcs.
It's just that the next two nights have also become sleepless nights for the townspeople. They were constantly afraid that the terrifying orcs would attack them at night.
It wasn't until the Frontier Witch and the twenty Templars returned with the orc captives that the townsfolk were relieved.
But this is only the consolation of ignorance.
Knowing the great strength of the orc kingdom, the witch understood that in the future, the entire Xihe West would only be afraid that it would be difficult to have peace.
So she immediately reported the matter to the public.
Then it was conveyed layer by layer, and it took half a month for the bishop who was far away in Xihe Capital to know about it.
But by the time the bishop could convey the matter to the king of Xihe, a month had passed since the king had learned everything and warned the lords of the city in the western part of the country.
And for a whole month, the Iron Sword Tribe, which was seven hundred miles away from the border town, had already learned that there were indeed traces of human beings in the far east. Without this, he gritted his teeth and formed a cavalry force of 200 people.
Although he is the cousin of the patriarch of the Fire Blade Tribe, one of the five major tribes of Chirui, the Iron Sword Patriarch who has been separated from the family has not received any benefits from this.
His tribe consisted of only three thousand, eight hundred warriors, three hundred human slaves, and two hundred and twenty wildebeests.
A wildebeest, as the name suggests, is a horse with two horns. However, unlike the wildebeest that Liang Tian knew in his previous life, the wildebeest in this world is stronger and more irritable.
Therefore, only orcs can tame them, and they are the only ones who can carry the heavy bodies of orcs. This makes the wildebeest the exclusive war horse of the orc race.
Therefore, after almost all the resources were used to form such an orc cavalry of 200 people, the patriarch of Iron Sword, Steel Tooth Iron Sword, personally led this army to the east.
But unlike the witch who can translate automatically, she easily learned the message of the orc kingdom from the mouth of the orc captive. On the side of the Iron Sword Tribe, it is not clear what kind of enemy exists in the far east.
This made them think that the Xihe in the east was still the tribe or small city-state that they would easily wipe out before. This is where we are today.
Because Steel Fang felt that with the strength of these orc warriors under his command, even if they encountered a thousand human warriors, they could easily win.
But so far, he had seen a human city-state that could form a thousand warriors at a time.
But even so, the thousand human warriors collapsed under the attack of a hundred wildebeest cavalry.
So, everything is just like the shaman said. Orcs are wolves, humans are sheep, they are born slave species!"
Steel Fang said this again and again, making his soldiers think that this was an ordinary hunt.
So before they saw any trace of Liang Tian's believers, these guys had already discussed how many slaves they would get.
"A bunch of idiots with muscles in their heads!"
The white wolf, who was about to be the ear and eye of Chirui, encountered these orcs, making Liang Tian very disdainful of the orcs who dared to run to start a war without knowing anything about them.
"The believers who believe in me won't let me down too much, and will definitely teach these idiots a lesson. ”
Anyway, the white wolf in the soul form didn't pay attention to these guys, but continued to go deeper into the west when the two hundred orc cavalry came.
However, considering the border town that had been exposed, Liang Tian still reminded the border witch that she organized everyone in the town and withdrew to the nearest city to them.
