Chapter 6: The Sons of the Tribe
"As far as I know, the Giant Bear tribe is struggling for food, and if we can solve their problems, I guess they'll be happy to join us. The Minotaur Chief said
"Okay, let's start with this giant bear tribe and reunite the various tribes and races of the former beast tribe. Baturu said
"If there's anything that can help, the members of our Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment and Demon Hunter Blade Mercenary Regiment are here to help. Faennes said
Balk got up from his chair and walked over to Faense.
"Humans, you will be our reliable allies, and if you can help us orcs through this crisis, we will do it for you. Balk held out his heavy palm
Faenes and Balk high-fived each other as an oath, and everyone will advance and retreat together.
In this way, our camp was moved from outside the city of Sagro to inside the city of Sagre. Although there are still many orcs looking at us with hatred, they should be understood.
Faens has told us what Balk has said, and will be on his way with us to the Bears' tribe.
A day later, the Giant Bears tribe in the northern part of the Orc Lands.
The place where the Giant Bear people live is very desolate, with no trees and no grass. It's no wonder that the Giant Bear people here are worried about food, because all that remains here is skeletons.
Our group came to the land, and we escorted the food loaded with the iron rhinoceros provided by the Minotaur tribe.
In addition to our Demon Hunter Blade and Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, this team is also these minotaur warriors with big axes on their backs.
Baturu was with us, as he was the representative of the Orcs, and was in charge of negotiating alliances with the Bearren chieftains.
Actually, there's one thing I've always been curious about. That's when Baturu and Captain Faense met, and what kind of story did they have.
Not far away, a Giant Bear hoplite spotted us.
With a low trumpet, something unexpected happened.
"Oh no!" Baturu could hear the horn of the Bears' attack
It seems that these reckless Giant Bears must have treated us as passing merchants, and hunger has made them stop at nothing to find food.
"All on alert!" Faense told us
All of us were ready for battle, but when we actually faced the enemy, our feet trembled.
I saw dust flying behind a mound in the distance.
At least a hundred or so Bear hoplites rushed at us fiercely, men with axes and broadswords.
The earth trembled, and as a mercenary, I told myself not to be afraid, let alone retreat, no matter what kind of enemy I encountered.
But at this moment, I really had the idea of retreating.
These bears were born tall and taller than burly orcs, and orcs and bears were compared together as if ordinary humans were comparing them to orcs. It is conceivable that when humans face these giant bear people, the shock in their hearts is incomparable.
Not only that, but these giant bears are also wearing heavy armor.
I dare say that a hundred or so Giant Bears hoplites are enough to compete with thousands of heavily armed Imperial soldiers.
Baturu told us to hold our ground and not panic, and he went up to explain the situation to the bears.
Baturu rode the frostwolf lightning toward the Bearmen, and he made a sharp turn to bring a group of Bears to a halt ahead of us.
He roared at the Bearman, saying something in a language that only the Bearman could understand.
"I am the younger brother of the orc general Balk, and I have come to the aid of our former comrades and brothers in the name of the tribal chieftain. Baturu yelled at the bears
That voice resounded through the world, and I still remember it vividly.
The Bear-Man charge came to a halt less than a kilometer away, and we secretly admired the brave orc.
Out of the ranks of the Giant Bears came a Giant Bearman in golden armor, who seemed to be the legendary Giant Bearren Chieftain.
"What do you mean, you were sent by Victor?" said the giant bearman
"Yes, our chief has sent me here in the hope of regaining our former brotherhood. Baturu said
"Victor, that little ghost, doesn't seem to have forgotten our old bones. The Giant Bear Chief muttered to himself
In fact, Baturu did not tell the truth to the Giant Bear Chief, because all this was planned after Victor was captured by the humans, and now that the situation is critical, Baturu has no choice but to lie to the Giant Bear Chief.
"Why should my people and I trust you?" the Giant Bear Chief asked
"Because we heard that the grain harvest in your land is not in stock, our chief specially asked us to bring food transported by dozens of rhinos, hoping to solve the urgent needs of the giant bear tribe. Baturu said
"Victor, this little imp has a bit of a conscience, yes, I understand your kindness. I guess you're not going to be okay with all the way to bring us food, right?" said the Giant Bear Chief
"Right now, the insect plague is rampant, and I believe it won't be long before this black tide sweeps across the entire orc land. I hope to be able to unite all our comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with us in the past, and we can face this disaster together. Baturu said
"Orc, I'm very optimistic about you, you look like Victor back then. Since you bring food when we need it, then you are our friends. We are willing to abide by the will of the High Beast God, Goodard Oakes, and we will fight side by side with you. The Giant Bear Chief said in front of all the Giant Bears
For a moment, all the Bearman hoplites were on one knee with their right arm on their chest.
"I will obey the will of the High Beast God, Goodard Oakes, and fight alongside you. All the Giant Bears said together
In this way, we finally arrived at the tribe of the Giant Bear at the invitation of the Giant Bear Chief.
Here, Baturu has a new title, that is, the son of the tribe, and many years later Baturu himself said that he liked this title very much.
Because at this moment, our arrival is like a long-lost rainstorm in the arid land, moistening the giant bear people here.
The bears, who had been supplied with food, were all very happy and very friendly to us.
Next, it's time for Baturu and the Bears to discuss an alliance.
The Giant Bear chieftain has expressed his willingness to obey the orc leader's command, and they will advance and retreat with the rest of the tribe.
Baturu tells the Titula that war between him and the Moonblade Fortress will break out sooner or later, and that it is time for the Bears to return to Sagro to build the royal city of the Orcs.
