67. The situation of the orcs

At that time, the orc was a powerful god with medium divine power, and although he was injured in the battle with the Lord of Light and Redemption, the killer weapon in his hand was so powerful that neither the Lord of Light nor the God of War was willing to force him to destroy everything. Coupled with www.biquge.info fact that the orcs had been driven to the worst place in the entire continent to survive, and there was a strait to prevent the orcs from coming back at will, the gods did not strike again, in fact, allowing the orcs to continue to survive.

And this strait has become the front line of the confrontation between humans and orcs. As a result, the humans, who could no longer attack, built a complex and strong defensive front that was 100 kilometers long, in order to seal the orcs in that barren land forever.

This is the first line of defense against the orcs. And after the front line, there is a second line of defense formed by two cities with high defense capabilities as fulcrums, and more small and medium-sized cities as auxiliary nodes.

Shining City is one of the two fulcrums, which can be seen just by its walls. In other words, the city allocated to the earl in the interior of the kingdom is impossible to build a wall up to 30 meters high, and it is completely used to defend against oversized orcs.

"The area between the first line of defense and the second line of defense can be called the front line, and the scope of activity of the orc raiding team is mainly in this area. Because it is impossible for hundreds of kilometers of coastline to be defended by armies, the kingdom's army can only gather heavy troops to defend some of the most important strongholds. So the rest of the place became a void, and if carefully arranged, the orcs were able to evade the patrolling army, silently pass through one line of defense, wreak havoc in the second, and then flee after plundering. The general terrain situation is like this. By the time Hughes finished introducing the terrain, he had already laid out a simple topographic diagram on the coffee table. The cups serve as battle forts and strongholds, while the wine bottles serve as straits, which basically clearly indicate the range of possible activities of the expedition group.

"Let's talk about the situation of the orcs, this is the most important thing, everyone listen carefully. Theseus took his cup and drank his saliva to moisten his throat, he had just said a lot, and his saliva was about to run dry.

"The Orc Empire is actually a collection of a large number of races. Just like human nations, they have the same well-developed state organization from top to bottom. Their royal family belongs to the lion clan, they are the descendants of the gods, the bloodline of the beast god Raian, and their status is the most noble. The second is the Tiger Clan, with an ancestor who has reached the level of a demigod. Then down are the bears, the elephants, and the Beamons. These five powerful races constitute the ruling class of the Orc Empire, and their strength is deeply rooted in the power of the orc empire. There are countless minotaur tribes, wolf tribes, etc. According to the research of the sages, there are tens of thousands of recorded orc races, and human beings can't figure out how many orcs they are divided into.

The general feature of this combination is that it is super physically strong, and it is generally a big cut above humans. Among their main race, even the fox clan, which has the worst physique, is also stronger than humans. I once told Alan that if the fox girls in the store outside the south gate took off their magic collars and faced each other head-on, Allen would not be the match for the fox girls, but he didn't believe it. However, I want to emphasize that this is true! Adult fox clans don't look thin, but their speed and flexibility are by no means comparable to humans, and with the strength equivalent to a level 5 swordsman, the average soldier on the human army needs at least three to deal with one, and it will almost certainly cost ......"

He didn't really know how strong the orcs were, but he didn't mind thinking of them as stronger. A strong opponent can keep friends on their toes and face up to the damage the orcs can do to their little adventurer. You can't overdo any serious preparation for an adventure. The adventure group goes desperately to make great profits through the adventure, and the only reason for the adventurers to put life and death aside is gold, not death.

Hughes' lecture on orcs lasted nearly two hours. In these two hours, Theseus talked about the composition of the orcs from the organization of the country to the various powerful races of the orcs...... Little by little, he told all the knowledge about orcs in his head.

Karn listened very attentively, asking questions whenever Hughes stopped to drink. Of course, some questions seemed ridiculous to Hughes, but some were asked on key points that even Hughes did not know, and he could not answer them.

All kinds of information about the orcs were deeply imprinted in the minds of all present in the process of telling, questioning, discussing, and making judgments. Every member of the party felt rewarded.

..................

"Okay, that's all I'll say about the situation of the orcs, I know basically everything, it's hard to remember all the small information at once, and I'll tell you in time if I encounter it in the future. After finishing his final summary, Xius immediately leaned his neck and drank a few large gulps of water.

After Hughes finished speaking, the eyes of the big guys were on Karn again. Karn was the oldest and most experienced of them all, and seemed to have the strongest background of Allen. Normally, Karn's words had a strong influence on Allen, Bonnie, and Mays. Several of them were almost obedient to Karn. However, Karn, who had a good temper, would hardly interfere in the private affairs of his younger siblings, who were always looking up to him.

Karn frowned and groaned, his face serious, sometimes sweeping the audience with that thoughtful gaze. After a while, he sat up straight. The crowd immediately sat down, knowing that Karn was about to speak. And his opinion is very important to the entire adventure party. Perhaps the first thing he said would have been to negate the idea of forming an adventure party. Alan was most concerned about this, and his gaze as Karn stared at him was filled with uncertain slight anxiety.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that our previous idea was too simplistic. Under the gaze of everyone, Karn slowly spat out the words. Allen's face suddenly changed, and his expression showed frustration.

"But, if it's well planned, there's a lot to be done!" The frustration in Alan's expression suddenly turned to surprise when Karn said the second sentence, and then to grief, and he complained dissatisfiedly, "Brother Karn, can you please not talk like that!"

"Haha~~", everyone laughed when they looked at Allen's funny appearance. The slight tension that had just been created was immediately diluted by the laughter.

Karn smiled and shook his head, teasing, "Who told you to think without listening?" As he spoke, he raised his hands and pressed them down slightly, and the room suddenly fell silent again, and everyone's attention was drawn again.

"To be honest, when I first listened to Hughes explain the knowledge of orcs, I instinctively wanted to give up on Alan's idea. Hunting orcs is too dangerous. If Theseus's words are completely accurate, let alone hunting orcs in this trip, even if we can escape a small life, it is already blessed by the god of war.

But when Hughes finished, I thought about it and changed my mind. Hunting orcs is dangerous, but it also has many benefits. Once successful, just the military merits obtained are enough for several of us to get the best scores in the mid-term evaluation, and it is not a problem to rank in the top ten of the academy. And if there are military merits in hand, when we graduate in the future, the main front-line forces of the kingdom will rush to accept officers with actual combat experience like us. In that case, the starting point of your career will be very high, and it is not a fantasy to have a bright future. ”

Karn's eyes lit up with excitement as he said this, even the two ladies. He took everyone's expressions in his eyes and put a confident smile on his face.

"The key question is how to kill and injure as many orcs as possible while protecting your own lives! I have three suggestions for this question. First, we should only launch an attack on the orcs when we occupy the most favorable conditions; second, we should try not to stay away from the army and make full use of the army's strength to help us complete the task; third, we will not love war, and we will retreat immediately if we miss a blow, and we will resolutely not entangle with the orcs. If we can achieve the above three points, I believe that with the joint efforts of all of you, we will still be able to reap exciting military feats and honors in this war of hunting orcs. ”

Karn's last words were sonorous and powerful, drawing ambition and enthusiasm from everyone in the room. Alan shook his fist excitedly, Mays and Bonnie flushed and their eyes sparkled, and Theseus smiled and nodded frequently.

After everyone had a good idea of what was going on, Hughes interjected with a smile, bringing everyone's attention back to the topic.

Kahn was on the right track. So, let's decide on the course of action for the adventure party now. Each person said a few principles that he thought everyone must abide by and the corresponding punishments. The adventuring group must have clear rules, otherwise there will be no combat effectiveness in a plate of loose sand. Hughes laughed.

Everyone nodded, then lowered their heads and thought about the adventure party system they hoped to appear. After a while, Bonnie, who was excited, was the first to raise her hand and exclaimed, "I thought of it, I'll talk about the first one first." The party must first choose a convincing leader. My opinion is that Big Brother Karn, he is the oldest, and has already gone through a mid-term trial, he has the most experience, and his cultivation is also the highest. With Big Brother Karn as the leader, we will surely be able to lead us to the greatest harvest. ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, but Karn shook his head with a wry smile and pulled the excited little girl to sit down.

"Ahem, it is necessary to elect a leader, but I think this position is more suitable. After the adventure party arrives in Shining City, Xius is the head snake there, and with him as the leader, the entire adventure party will benefit. As for the question of experience, hehe, I'll be a consultant, and I can also give advice to the party. Karn thought for a moment before smiling.

This time it was Theseus's turn to smile bitterly, and Bonnie was unconvinced and tried to refute, but Karn prevented her from speaking, so she had to glare at him angrily and threaten Theseus, as if if he would immediately give him a small fireball if he dared to agree. Mays shook her head and smiled, and Alan was still gloating, winking at Hugh.

Hughes waved his hand and refused, "I can't, Brother Karn, you said that the position of advisor is the one I should sit in." If you want to be a leader, you must first be able to make everyone believe unconditionally, secondly, you must be able to make everyone do what he tells you, and secondly, you must have the ability to lead a team. But just look at Bonnie, if I really became the head of the regiment, would she listen to me? Brother Karn, among all of you, whether it's Allen, Mays, or Bonnie, they all listen to you the most, which can be seen from their attitude towards you on a daily basis. And I'm also very convinced of you. So, it's best for you to be the leader. ”

At this time, Maith also interjected with a smile, she nodded in agreement with the meaning of Xius, and persuaded: "That's right, I also agree with Xius's meaning." Brother Karn, there are only six people in the party, Bonnie and I, as well as my friends, are all women, not only are they inexperienced, but they don't dare to say that they are capable of supporting an adventure party for the time being. You are different, you have already had a mid-term evaluation experience, your grades are excellent, and your cultivation is the highest, according to the general principles of forming an adventure group, it is appropriate for you to be the leader. ”

As he spoke, a slightly aggrieved voice interrupted Mays. Alan stared at Maith with grievances, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why was it that both Karn and Theseus were elected, but no one nominated me?

Mei Si suddenly sneered and said, "I don't believe it!" Alan immediately softened when he heard this, and looked dejected. Although everyone knew that he was pretending to be an elephant, Allen's funny performance filled the room with laughter.

After a while, Alan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, just kidding, I agree that Karn will be the leader." But Mayth, don't hit me like this in the future, okay?" Mayth didn't answer, just glared at him.

Seeing that everyone had elected himself as the leader of the party, Karn was in a very good mood, smiling and nodding at everyone, especially Hughes, whose expression could even be described as enthusiastic. It is inevitable that others will be recognized for their achievements, and it is a joy for everyone. Kahn was only 17 or 8 years old, and he was no exception.

"Well, since everyone trusts me so much, then I won't shirk anymore. Speaking of which, I still feel a sense of accomplishment to be the leader of an elite trial team of the Royal Family Warrior Academy!hehe~!" Karn agreed with a smile.

Everyone laughed when they heard Karn's words.

Karn waited for everyone to laugh again, and then said seriously, "But I have one more request, I want you to agree to Hughes as the deputy head of our adventure group, and lead the team with me. Xiusi, don't shirk, almost all of this operation is carried out in your hometown, and the role you can play in this is not much smaller than mine, and you deserve to be the deputy head of the regiment, I think everyone will agree. Hehe, if you don't agree, you don't want us to come to your house!"

Theseus heard Karn's offer and wanted to stop it immediately, but Karn reached out and pressed his arm to stop him from refusing. Everyone was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed and applauded, apparently agreeing with Karn's statement. Seeing the expectation and encouragement in everyone's eyes, he had no choice but to agree with a wry smile.

"Well, I accept everyone's kindness and will definitely dedicate my strength to the success of the adventure group. Hughes said solemnly.
