88 The Rise of the Orcs
As the most powerful race in the beast clan, Daksa is the great lord of the Beamon tribe, with a huge territory, more than a dozen vassal clans and tribes, and the angry claw war group under his leadership is the elite of the beast clan. A lord as powerful as him should not have appeared on the battlefield of this annual routine border training. But this year is different, he has received a secret order from the royal lion clan in the beast clan, and he wants to cooperate with the plan of a certain high-level within the elf clan to feint to attack the castle on the border of the elves, and the elves will also send Nei Ying to do things in the fort to ensure that there will be no fierce resistance from the elves, and all he has to do is to surround the castle.
However, as the number one lord in the beast race, Daxa has his own pride, and he is very dissatisfied with the performance of the royal family in external weakness, especially in recent decades, the beast race has become more and more prosperous, but it has not turned this prosperity into military power, but invested in business, which is simply ridiculous, when the powerful beast race needs to rely on the things that these weak races have researched to develop. In Daxa's view, only pure military strength can win more kingdoms, and more territories can be obtained, and more strong orcs can be cultivated through these territories, so that they can be more prosperous.
Well, although the combat power of the Beamon clan is indeed strong, their minds are inversely proportional, and it is because of this that they have never gone up after being driven down from the royal position in the beast clan. The Beast is a loose tribal kingdom composed of multiple races, and the leader of this kingdom is not fixed, he is elected by the wisest shaman of the many clans, and the race to which the elected beast belongs is the royal family of the time.
However, at the beginning, the orcs did not use this model to determine the ownership of the royal family, but relied on force to fight. At that time, the most powerful Beamon clan indisputably ascended the throne of the royal family with a crushing attitude, and no other race could successfully challenge their position for a thousand years, that is, the Beamon tribe ruled the beast clan for thousands of years.
However, for the orcs, this period is also their weakest time. Because the Beamon only knows about war, the various clans are constantly fighting each other for food and territory, and the various clans within the race have never been unified, and they rely entirely on the shamans of each clan to communicate occasionally. Most of the orcs live a life of drinking blood, cultural inheritance depends on fate, and medical means are about equal to nothing, so many clans are facing the fate of extinction at any time.
In this kind of internal friction, disease, hunger is often accompanied by the situation, the entire beast race can be said to be no big difference from the wild beasts, at this time, let alone expand outward, the existing territory has been reduced again and again. As a royal family at this time, the Beamons did not think about defending the territory of the kingdom, but the strength of individual force did not play as great a role in large-scale battles as they imagined.
Except for a certain King Beamon, who has become the undisputed strongest of the present generation with the wealth of heaven, ensuring the peace of the beast clan for two hundred years. The rest of the King Beamon is at most slightly better than the strongest of other races, since they can't form a crushing advantage, then they will be entangled on the battlefield and can't prevent their own army, which is much inferior in terms of equipment and military quality, from being slaughtered. Not to mention that the war between races has never been only a road of military aggression, and the Beamon tribe, which was completely destroyed by other kingdoms in terms of strategy, made the already weakening beast race even worse, after all, the beast race has always had the protection of the god of war Ares, the superior god, and other races only dared to encroach on the territory, but did not dare to slaughter the beasts.
However, the total population of the orcs has also decreased year by year due to the reduction of territory and lack of food, and if this continues, sooner or later the orcs will either become vassals of other races, or be completely wiped out in the torrent of the times.
It was at this time of crisis that the Lion Clan took over the entire beast kingdom. The first Lion King was a shaman with an extraordinary gift for intelligence, and as a young man, he traveled as a mercenary to many countries in the continent of Shenya. And as a spellcaster, after years of hard work, he has a very high status in the mercenary association, because few spellcasters still choose to serve the mercenary association after reaching the high level, rather than choosing a big lord or country.
With status, it naturally has authority, as a neutral organization with a long history and perennial contact with various secret realms and abnormal events, the Mercenary Association has far more secrets on this continent than most countries.
During a fortuitous incident, the lion-man shaman flipped through a dossier. This dossier records a location farther north than the Orc Realm, which is covered in snow all year round and has little living life, but has an extremely large temple. The temple can be seen from a great distance, but no matter how close you try to get closer to it, you can't get closer, as if it were an illusion. At that time, the Mercenary Association also sent many strong people to investigate this temple, after all, it was related to the gods, and they didn't want to miss even the slightest detail. But after many attempts, all the results were the same, but they could be seen, and they couldn't get close at all, so in the end, the higher-ups of the Mercenary Association had to put away their desire to continue exploring.
After reading this dossier, the lion shaman began to dream a lot, and the dream was full of things about the temple, how to get close to the temple, how to enter the temple, how to hide from the strange beasts in the temple, and how to meet them... Jinni!
The dreams were so clear that it was as if he had experienced them himself. Believing in the elements and dreams, the Lion Shaman decided to visit the place that had always kept him dreaming at night. After packing up everything, he went on the road alone, who knew that he would be a hundred years away. After repeated fruitless searches, the Mercenary Association has counted him as a missing person.
A hundred years later, the older generation of King Beamon is weakening, the challenge of the new generation of royalty is coming, and the lion shaman appears again, at this time, he not only has extraordinary talent in wisdom, but also reaches the point of being on par with King Beamon in terms of strength, and the existence of the entire beast clan for the first time can confront Beamon head-on in terms of personal strength.
Despite this, the Lion Shaman still can't become a royal family, because he is not the strongest beast clan, and he has not yet defeated King Beamon, a tradition that has continued for countless generations. After repeated attempts to no avail, the shaman finally used a power that did not belong to him, a dark, cold power, a power that made the lives of those it attacked wither quickly, a power that never appeared in front of the world, that is, the power of necromancy.
After using this power, the strength of the lion shaman did not increase significantly, but the way of fighting became extremely strange, making it difficult for King Beamon, who had never been in contact with this power system, to deal with it for a while, and finally lost the competition. The Orc Kingdom also ushered in their first non-Bimon royal family, the Lion Clan. And the Shenya continent has also added a new superior god, the god of death: Bonsandy! And his first shaman, the Leo Necromantic Shaman: Oyeru!
