Chapter 1121: The Great War is Coming! (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a recommendation) ask for a monthly pass!!
Just when the atmosphere in Silvermoon City was weird, the black orcs were not idle. Although the rebellion in the camp was over, the mess on the Western Front was getting bigger and bigger, and the troops that had originally supported the past to suppress the rebellion did not arrive at the battlefield of the rebellion, and they collapsed directly......
When the news arrived, Hawkdorf had nearly slaughtered the Overseer. But he knew that the Overseer was no wonder of this, because the consequences of the rebellion in the camp were too serious.
Although the battle on the surface is now over, behind the actual calm, a bigger storm is gathering, and no one knows when the next major rebellion will come.
And the unit that went to counter-insurgency is also a microcosm of its influence, this army had infighting on the way, and the overseer didn't know how the infighting began, anyway, he just walked and walked, and it began to be chaotic, and later, he didn't know who was fighting with whom, and why, anyway, it was a random fight.
When it's over, there are not many people left......
It is clear that there are people who do not want the end of the rebellion on the Western Front. In response, Hawkdorf almost lost his mind several times, grabbed his tomahawk and rushed into the camp of the Church of the Three Gods of Death, killing them all at large.
But in the end, he calmed down, although it would be nice for him to do so, but it would not do any good to all the black orcs, because it would only bring more conflict, and it would ruin everything they have now.
"How much food do we have left?" Like an angry bull, Hawkdorf gasped as he threw a beaten half-dead Overseer to the ground, well, this is the Overseer leading the team to counter-insurgency.
Seeing Hawkdor's bloodshot eyes, the black orcs in the big tent lowered their heads, for fear that they would accidentally provoke this tyrant and be beaten half to death.
"King! We now have food in the camp for about 7 days! A black orc with particularly large jaw fangs stood up and bent over his chest with his right hand to report to Hawkdor.
This is Splittooth Battle, one of Hockdor's loyal dogs, and although he is not from Hockdor's clan, he was one of the first to follow Hockdor, and his loyalty and strength make him one of the few who can dissuade Hockdorf when he is furious.
"Seven days?" Hawkdorf took a deep breath, letting his explosive fury be weighed down by the icy air of the Northlands.
"Yes, although there are some misrepresentations of their rations, it should be about the same." Splittooth Battle bent his massive body down slightly and bowed.
"When will the next batch of grain come?" Hawkdorf walked to the door of the tent and looked in the direction of Silvermoon City in the distance for a moment, then suddenly turned around and asked.
Faced with this question, even Cracktooth Battle was silent for a moment, because the answer was not ideal.
"At least...... It will have to be ...... in half a month."
Hearing this answer, Hawkdor's oppressive eyes stared coldly at Battle.
Even after following Hawkdorf for many years, Battle still couldn't bear Hawkdor's murderous aura, because he knew how ruthless his master, the king of all black orcs, was in his dealings with business.
Even those closest to him could make a mistake in matters involving the rise of the Black Orcs and invite Hawkdor's ruthless destruction.
But Battle didn't dare to hide it from Hawkdor, so he could only stubbornly say: "We have collected all the grain that can be collected before, and now it is impossible to raise grain and grass in a short time." ”
Because of their chaotic nature, the black orcs did not have the concept of coordination at all, and every time they captured a piece of land, they would plunder every grain, every gold coin, and every resource in that land without restraint, killing every human on it, and then leaving a piece of scorched earth to grow.
They didn't even think about what to do with the land after that. This kind of simple plunder is unlikely to bring any sustainable benefits to the Black Orcs, for example, now, most of the food in the rear has been scavenged and sent to the camp and the desert home, and then the part of the camp is burned by Solam.
And the rest of the part, either destroyed in the war, or divided by other orcs, and now Hawkdorf wants new food, half a month is Battle's most optimistic estimate, that's it, I still need to use a little abnormal means. For example, those who slaughter human slaves and directly use human flesh as military rations.
After all, it was a frozen winter, and Battle really didn't know where to go to find food except for those slaves.
Hawkdorf looked at Battle coldly for a long time before finally turning around and continuing to stare at Silvermoon City. Battle wiped his sweat and knew that his master had agreed with him. Hawkdorf couldn't disagree, of course he knew what kind of virtue his race was, otherwise he wouldn't want to change the status quo.
Even Hockdorf seriously considered the idea of using humans as rations.
Hawkdor's expedition this time took almost all the black orc warriors in the entire Enoch Desert, 600,000, a full 600,000!
Of these 600,000, about 200,000 of them were left behind in the rear occupation areas to suppress the resistance in those occupied areas. Another 100,000 were sent to the narrow strips of the Lunar Forest and the Raven River on the Western Front to block support in the western part of the kingdom.
The remaining 300,000 besieged Silvermoon City.
The grain of these three parts was placed in three places, and the grain of 300,000 besieging Silvermoon City was placed in the camp, and the grain in it was enough for 300,000 troops to eat for three months. It's a pity that it was burned by Solam......
The food of the 100,000-strong army on the Western Front was placed in a small town, where the stock of grain was not much, and it was generally supported by large battalions, but it was also burned by Solam.
Now there is only food left in the hands of the 200,000 orcs in the rear, but this part of the food cannot be moved, this is not only the food of the 200,000 orc garrison, but also the food of those old and weak women and children in the desert hometown! Don't forget, it's winter, and the winters in the Enok Desert are even harsher than those in the Silvermoon Kingdom.
The family concept of the black orcs is a little weaker, but how can they really give up their spouse and children as a race? If you really want to abandon those black orcs, the old and weak, women and children, then the black orcs in the Enok Desert will really be broken.
So now the only food available is the human beings.
But soon, he gave up on the idea. It's not that Hockdorf pitied the humans, there were a lot of human flesh in their previous food as rations.
Rather, those human slaves are still useful.
When Hawkdor's black orcs swept through the Half Silver Moon Kingdom, there weren't many human slaves left. Some of the humans had fled to the western part of the Silvermoon Kingdom before the orcs attacked, and most of the remaining ones were slaughtered by the rampaging black orcs.
The number of humans who survived in the end was not very large, and if these human slaves were to be used as rations, then there would really be nothing left. This is not in keeping with Hawkdor's ideals.
Hawkdorf knew exactly what the weaknesses of his race were.
The Black Orcs are excellent warriors, but they are very bad producers, and the Black Orcs no longer have any production skills other than the ability to barely support their own animal husbandry.
They occupy a large area of land in the eastern part of the Silvermoon Kingdom, but in reality, they can't bring more profits, because even if those lands are given to the Black Orcs, they can't get anything from the land, and they don't know how to farm at all.
So human slaves are important to the Black Orcs!
If there were no human slaves to the Black Orcs to go to the land, then it would be useless for them Black Orcs to occupy those lands. Hockdorf is an ambitious Black Orc, he doesn't want to be just a marauder, he wants to be a true conqueror!
He hopes that the Black Orcs can rely on these lands to continue to grow, and then go to conquer more lands and get more slaves, until the world is finally ruled by the Black Orcs! He didn't want to be a robber, grab a vote and go back to the desolate desert.
Besides, even if those slaves were really used as rations, Hawkdorf calculated and found that it was still a bit insufficient.
Hawkdor's slaves have not been systematically counted, and he does not know how many there are, probably between 300,000 and 400,000.
(It should be explained here that the eastern territory of the Silver Moon Kingdom was not originally a densely populated place, and the land there was not fertile, so it has always been in a state of vast and sparsely populated land, and there can be 700,000 to 800,000 in the eastern part of the entire kingdom)
And how many orc troops does he have under his command? The 100,000 on the Western Front rebelled, and Hawkdorf didn't bother to care, starving to death. He doesn't need to take care of this part, the 200,000 old and weak don't need to take care of it, their food is enough. There is no need for Hawkdorf to worry about either.
But he still has 300,000 mouths under his hands!
Three or four hundred thousand human slaves, it sounds like a lot, but if you really want to actually operate it, you don't count the time wasted, not counting the resistance of human beings, and even the wear and tear during the period.
It's all slaughtered, and it's enough for 300,000 orcs to eat for a few days? How stupid it is to rely on the future rise to meet the rations of the present few days, Hawkdorf will never choose.
Therefore, it is better to kill human beings to satisfy hunger.
Hockdorf went through all the pros and cons in his mind, then opened his eyes, turned his head and tried to find Zelemy, just like before, he would ask Zelemy for advice if he had any confusion, and the only wise man among the orcs that he admired mentally could always give the most reasonable way.
But the moment Hawkdor's head turned, he saw only a group of reckless men, but his wise men were not among them......
Yes, Zelemy was killed by that human miscellaneous!
Thinking of this, Hawkdor's anger that had been slightly extinguished rose again! The only confidant with whom he can communicate spiritually is dead!
"Three days! We only have three days! I'm going to break through Silvermoon City in these three days! The order goes down, so that all the warriors are open to eat! Open up to drink! Tomorrow morning, the siege will begin! No feints, no focus, no goals! I'm going to launch the fiercest assault on every section of the city's walls, every inch of it! I will not allow any rest, I will not allow humanity to have any respite, I will flood the walls with blood, I will fill the main city with corpses! ”
Hawkdorf pulled out his battle axe and split his tent at once! Then he raised his head to the sky and roared: "I will completely destroy this despicable shrimp human city!" Great Bane is watching us! Long live the glory of the three gods!!! ”
The roar of rage and fury woke up the entire camp that had been falling silent! Countless orcs couldn't figure out the situation at all, but when they heard the familiar battle cry, they all began to roar!
"Long live the glory of the three gods!!!"
"Kill all the human !!"
"Blood sacrifice to the three gods, kill all the infidels !!!"
……
The earth-shattering roar sent the entire land into an inexplicable panic, and at the same time, all the people who were sleeping soundly in Silvermoon City also woke up from this terrible nightmare, at least they thought so.
And the high-level officials of Silver Moon City, who had never slept all along, also stopped discussing and planning at this time, and looked in the direction of the city wall with a solemn face.
Lansnoda listened to the wild roar of the orcs for a moment, and then stood up from the throne without warning.
"Everyone! The moment of life and death in Silvermoon City has arrived! I don't want to say anything else. May the Mother of Magic bless us! ”
All the ministers and generals stood up and bowed respectfully to the princess.
"Long live the Silvermoon Kingdom, and the glory of the Queen lives on!"
I don't know if it was the good news brought by Solam that made Lansnoda sweep away the previous fatigue and anxiety, and now, even in this situation, she is no longer hesitant, but seems so calm!
"The Queen needs everyone to do their job! Go ahead! Let the black-skinned beasts understand what the pride of the Queen's people is! ”
"Yes! Everyone in the Silvermoon Kingdom will do their duty! ”
