Chapter 40: A New Departure (4)
Is the road ahead really as grim as the War Juggernaut said?
The War Juggernaut is the greatest existence of the entire orc clan and tribe since it was born for so many years, and there is no one. War Sword Christmas was born in the era of the decline of the orc clan, at that time, although the outstanding Simos of the Luohan Empire had not yet been born, and the orc clan tribe still held absolute dominance, but as early as a few decades ago, the contradictions within the orc clan tribe had gradually begun to emerge on the water.
The rise of one great power is destined to be accompanied by the fall of another, and the same is true between the orc clans and the barbarian Rohan Empire. When the Sword Master of War came of age, the barbarians in the slave status began to revolt faintly. And the orcs at that time were not as loose as they are now, but a vast empire. If the leader of the country is a good emperor, then such a physique can carry the whole country forward smoothly. Even a slightly passing emperor will stumble so that the country does not go downhill. Sadly, however, the first emperor of that time did not learn the slightest useful thing of his predecessors, but learned to be impudent and indulgent in pleasure, just like some of the mediocre rulers of mankind. Ignorant of the country's affairs, he only knows how to recruit all kinds of beautiful orc women from within the empire, and even send plundering teams to the human world to find beautiful human women. And the orcs who had begun to gradually resist were not interested in the slightest, but let the brother of one of their mistresses serve as the general of the conquest, and led thousands of soldiers and horses to the barbarian settlement villages to quell the rebellion. But what he didn't expect was that after receiving a sumptuous treasure that the barbarian clan had collected with all his might, this orc general not only did nothing wrong with the barbarian clan, but turned around and attacked the border of the human world that was still in chaos with those marauders. In the end, he died tragically at the hands of the human coalition.
The only person who feels sad about the death of this orc general is his mistress sister. But what is even more unfortunate for their family is that one night, when the mistress who was finally favored by the orc emperor again was blowing the pillow wind in the mouth of the orc emperor, the orc emperor was suddenly annoyed, and after mercilessly slapping the mistress directly under the bed, the orc emperor said disdainfully: " You scumbag, if I hadn't listened to your nonsense and asked your stupid brother to be some kind of counterinsurgency general, your stupid brother wouldn't have turned his head to fight those barbarian slaves! You must remember that you are only a little mistress that I have kept in captivity, and that even the most despicable slave in my palace is much more noble than you! If it weren't for the fact that you are still a little beautiful, do you think I would be blessed with you?"
In this way, the favored mistress once again returned to the role of an orc civilian. And the orc emperor still had to do what he should do, but he didn't mention anything about the barbarians again. But while the Orc Emperor and his subordinates were enjoying their lives, the barbarian clan was quietly undergoing an inconspicuous qualitative change. During that time, two major events happened to the Barbarians that would change the future.
One is that, after giving the orc general a tribute, the barbarians have no room to deal with a second such thing. So, at that time, all the barbarians who could speak came together to plan for their future. In fact, this is an orc who can be said, but in fact, he is just a slave with a slightly higher status among the orcs. However, what their orc masters did not expect was that in the middle of an unknown night, a dozen or so barbarian slaves who were inferior to them like pigs and dogs made a decision to change the fate of both, that is, a complete riot.
The barbarians don't have any money left to pay tribute, and even if they do, then this time they give it, but next time they will meet someone who cares only about the overall situation like that stupid orc general? No, even if there were, the barbarians would not dare to take any risks. But let the orcs continue to enslave them? no!
So, they made a big decision about their future, and that was to rebel, to rebel outright! After that quiet uprising, the orcs had become aware of the barbarians' movements. So, it's time to hurry!
After two days of preparation, the first large-scale rebellion of the barbarians took place in such a hurry, a rebellion that seemed bound to fail. Because of the lack of time, they do not have enough time to gather their compatriots who are also rebellious but are far away. So in the rebellion that followed two days later, only about 2,000 barbarians participated in the rebellion, but how many orcs were there at that time? More than 300,000! But in the eyes of the barbarians, they had to take this step, and if they rebelled, then it was possible to be free. But if there is no action, then they will continue to be enslaved. Undoubtedly, for the barbarians, the second option is even more miserable for them.
But what happened next was really unexpected by anyone. What people didn't expect was that for the rebellion of the barbarian clan, the orcs did not carry out any large-scale actions for half a month at the beginning. Later, it became known that the Orc Emperor at that time was too optimistic about what had happened, and with the previous experience, he was so proud that he even thought that there was no need to send any regular troops at all, and he thought that the barbarians could be easily exterminated with just the local garrison. Wasn't it the previous time that no soldiers were actually sent to quell the barbarian rebellion? But even so, after the rebellion, the orcs still had enough time to react, but why did they start to react slowly after the barbarian rebellion for half a month? And the truth found out afterwards made people laugh even more. That is, as early as a month before the barbarian rebellion broke out, the orc emperor had already begun to ignore the government, if it weren't for the first emperor one night who was obscene and suddenly remembered to raid a human slave in the palace and casually grabbed a report with a barbarian rebellion afterwards, I'm afraid the orc clan would have taken much longer to react.
By the time the Orc Emperor began to make moves, the Orcs had indeed lost a large amount of territory, and it was not only the barbarians who responded to the rebellion, but also the various races that had been plundered began to raise troops. Soon, the barbarian tribe was completely freed from the orcs, and a new state was established on top of the former territory of the orc empire. And it was at this time that something even more important to the barbarians happened, and that was the birth of the remarkable Simus.
In the next ten years, because the barbarian tribe has completely separated from the orc empire, they gradually began to have no desires, but began to make peace with the orcs. A large piece of land that was originally seized was returned to the Orc Empire without any reason. But like the barbarians before him, the old orc emperor finally died after being frightened, and the newly crowned emperor, although not very good, at least understood what it meant to recuperate. In the past ten years, they have not done nothing, but have reclaimed large swathes of territory through diplomatic warfare that they have always been good at, and launched a counterattack against the barbarian tribes just a few years before the birth of the remarkable Simos.
However, such an action was already too late. The reason why the barbarians chose to endure for more than ten years was because they seemed to have no desires, but it was because they were busy dealing with the internal affairs of the barbarian tribe. After some success, there was a split within the barbarians. Moreover, such internal contradictions can be triggered for five years at a time.
In the past five years, a genius has been born, and that is the outstanding Simos. At that time, the outstanding Simus, who was only a teenager at the time, quickly reunited the divided barbarian tribe with a resolute attitude, and killed all the barbarian leaders with evil intentions and evil intentions. Later, he drove his own expedition, leaving most of the main force in place and containing the orc empire, but he drove to the relatively unfamiliar west with only a thousand men, and it took less than a month to announce the establishment of the barbarians' own empire, the Luohan Empire.
Subsequently, the remarkable Simos returned to the territory of the former Orc Empire, which had become a border area, alone, and quickly launched a counterattack against the Orc Empire with those remaining barbarians. After thirty years, the orcs were tightly suppressed on the edge of the sea to the east. The Orc Empire, which was originally so angry with gunfire, saw that it was on the verge of extinction.
However, the god of luck is fair, he gave birth to a genius in the barbarian empire, and in order to compensate, a great figure on the orc side was also born. Of course, this orc is not a young man, but an orc who is close to middle age. This orc is the Sword Master of War. In the era of the Orc Emperor, the War Sword Saint, who was originally a general, was suppressed by the Orc Emperor, and the War Sword Saint at that time was forced to return to his hometown and began to live in seclusion, and in the following time, he really did not care about the world. But when his homeland was attacked, the Sword Master had to end his decades-long seclusion and quickly regain his original strength. And with the already desperate orc empire and barbarians in a bitter war. Over the next decade, the situation between the barbarians and the orcs gradually turned into a tug-of-war, but the orc empire gradually regained its territory under the leadership of the War Blademaster. And it continued until recently, until the remarkable Simos somehow went south with an army of 2,000 beast slayers to support a kingdom of Magellan, which was alien to both sides, and died there.
After the orcs were finally relieved of their burdens, the Orc Emperor at the time announced his abdication and let the War Blademaster succeed him. However, before the succession ceremony began on the seventh day, the Sword Master of War announced on the third day that the orc clan had completely ended the imperial system and replaced it with a loose alliance system composed of various clans and tribes. He also announced the unconditional release of all slaves, and as for the losses caused by the release of these slaves, the War Juggernaut announced that he would personally compensate for it.
And this is where the orc clan tribe comes from. After the Empire was divided, the Orc Clan tribe consisted of five large clans and eleven smaller clans. At that time, in addition to his own tribe, the War Sword Master also had a very good relationship with almost every tribe. But now, with the divergent interests of all parties, more and more tribes are beginning to favor launching a counterattack against the Rohan Empire after the death of the remarkable Simos in battle, in the spirit of taking advantage of your illness to kill you. But out of honor, the Juggernaut of War made a firm opposition. Gradually, more and more orc clans no longer respect the War Juggernaut as much as they used to. and formed a council, and launched an attack on the Rohan Empire in the face of strong opposition from the Sword Master. Feeling powerless, the Sword Master of War had to look beyond the orc clan for help, and it was at this time that the remnants of Qi Tianci and Magellan came.
Just when the Sword Master of War went to Magellan's camp to seek cooperation, the clans and tribes that were originally pro-War Sword Saint could not resist the temptation to join the newly formed council one by one. When the War Juggernaut returned to the orc clan tribe with enough helpers, he was disheartened to find that all the tribes had joined the council and started to send troops except for his own tribe and the jackal tribe that gave birth to him.
It was really a difficult night, and the War Sword Master sighed deeply when he thought of this. He didn't know why, at the critical moment when the world was in crisis, why would the orc clans and tribes, which should have been a big help, give up their true honor because of a little petty profit?
