Chapter XXVII.

The orcs are finished.

As early as the attack on the Akiba Plains, the orcs paid a lot of casualties, especially in the siege of Fallen Leaf City, where Sauron not only incarnated but also summoned the ancient brass dragon with the dragon covenant. This time the orcs lost more warriors, the ancient brass dragon directly used the dragon's breath to plow the battlefield several times, just killed on the spot thousands of people, and later went back to count the casualties, just a siege battle half-orcs lost nearly six thousand adult warriors.

Although this casualty is not small, it is still within the tolerance of a race.

The population of half-orcs is as high as hundreds of thousands, and the half-elves in Fallen Leaf City are about between 200,000 and 250,000, while the size of half-orcs is slightly larger, and it is estimated that they can reach more than 300,000. The ratio of these populations, excluding the old, weak, women and children, who can take up arms and fight is about 3:1, which means that if all the orcs are mobilized, they can gather enough troops of 100,000 people.

100,000 people.

It sounds like a lot, but in fact this is the whole essence of the orc race, and the backward productivity of this era, as well as the civilization between farming and nomadism, have led to the fact that if the half-orcs lose too much of an adult warrior, they will not be able to maintain even the most basic production and cultivation. The backward civilization greatly limited the expansion of the population, and the attack on the Akiba Plains by the orcs itself had the meaning of breaking the boat, and paying a certain percentage of casualties was still within Eugene's tolerance.

But.

This was just the beginning, and after the siege, Eugene led his army to encounter Sauron again.

And this time the casualties paid were even more amazing, the strength of the army in Modo City and the field battle in the half-orc plain was not much different, but after the baptism of artillery fire in Modo City, the losses of the half-orcs were very amazing.

In the two battles combined, Eugene lost tens of thousands of people at the hands of Sauron, and the original loss was close to twenty or thirty thousand.

That's about one-twelfth of the total orc population!

Moreover.

These are all adult half-orc warriors, and if it weren't for the fact that these two losses were too great, Eugene would not have been able to cut off the other side of the Agate River to recuperate. Give Fallen Leaf City such a long respite.

Although these losses have broken the orcs, they have not hurt the root after all.

According to Eugene's original plan, he planned to occupy this land and develop agriculture, and it was impossible to make the orc race as many as millions and tens of millions of people like humans and elves by nomadic hunting alone. So Eugene is ready to recuperate silently, and use the fertile land of the Akiba Plain to vigorously develop agriculture, as long as there is enough food supply, the size of the orc race will increase exponentially. For Eugene, the population of the orcs will exceed one million in just ten years, and the tribe's army will be stronger than any kingdom of mankind at that time.

But.

The Sage Havoc has arrived.

The demonic attack directly destroyed all of Eugene's hopes, and a fierce battle directly caused the orc clan to lose everything.

Only a third of the adult warriors of the orc clan are left in the past.

Up to fifty or sixty thousand casualties. It almost means that every family of the entire race has died in battle, and there are only thirty or forty thousand warriors left, let alone taking Fallen Leaf City, I am afraid that even the current land will not be able to defend. Moreover, the orcs themselves are not good at farming to the end, and this attack is the accumulation of the past twenty years, and the war has already seriously consumed materials. Now the farmland that Eugene ordered to be reclaimed in the Akiba Plains has been almost completely destroyed, which means that they are now cornered, with no army and no food.

Eugene's face grew older.

After returning to the clan, the first order it gave was to migrate, and there was no way to hold it here, and there was a second attack from the demons.

It must preserve the fire of the race. Otherwise, there is a real possibility that the orcs will die out in this world.

Now the clan can only shrink up and survive, silently licking the wounds to accumulate strength, as long as they can survive this crisis, then the orcs still have hope of rising.

Winter for the clan has come.

Less than thirty or forty thousand adult half-orcs need to feed more than two hundred thousand people. Although there are many adult female orcs among them, who can also hunt and farm, the clan may be a huge burden in the future just to provide for their offspring. Their most elite strength has been depleted, and the only orcs left within the race are old and weak, women and children, and they may become ogres, gnolls, and lizardmen at any time. It is even the target of the half-elf's revenge.

Nowadays, any war has the potential to drag the orcs into the abyss from which they will never recover!

The orcs retreated.

They took over the land with huge casualties, and now they are left with corpses all over the ground, retreating from the Agate River to the edge of the Autumn Leaf Plains.

The orcs gave up at least two-thirds of their land.

They migrated to the very edge. But he didn't return to the barren highlands, because Eugene couldn't give up the fertile farmland that had been cultivated in the first place.

Only these farmlands can guarantee that no one will starve to death in the next few years for the orcs!

………………

The horizon is blood-red.

For several days after the end of a major battle, the distant sky seemed to be blood-red. The second wave of the Sage Holocaust is coming to an end, with some cities completely destroyed and others still unharmed. Eugene received news from all sides, and the news that made it feel very depressed was that because the orcs had established the stockade in the wild, in this wave of demon attacks, most of the abyss demons who didn't want to attack the city actually attacked the orcs, while Fallen Leaf City was only attacked by a small group of demons.

Nearly ten cities and hundreds of towns on the physical plane were destroyed, and this catastrophe affected not only humans, but also other races such as elves, dwarves, orcs, halflings, lizardmen, gnolls, and so on.

The southern edge of the Elven Forest turned into a sea of fire.

The Black Iron Castle was reduced to ruins by a leader of the Ballow Flame Demon.

The Orcs Frostblade Clan was almost wiped out.

The only person who suffered minor losses in the entire impact was the halflings, whose main god fell into the mortal realm ahead of time and repelled the demon army in his Sage form.

Now, the main god of the halfling should be the first god to stand in the light.

She has appeared.

Moreover, this goddess of [powerful divine power] is in the Shire.

………………

The light of dusk is sprinkled.

Eugene wearily walked among the cultivated fields, and after these few days, the clan's wounds were healing, no matter what happened. Those who are alive must always work hard for tomorrow.

Eugene was very tired during this time.

Although most of the clan still supports it, because of this loss, some orcs have begun to oppose it, believing that it is the only thing that will cause the clan to fall into its current situation.

If it hadn't been for the Half-Elves, none of this would have happened today.

Helpless.

These people originally actively advocated the capture of Fallen Leaf City in one go and completely eliminated the main battle faction of the half-elves occupying the plains, but now they in turn put all the responsibility on Eugene.

Eugene doesn't have any explanation for this, and it doesn't need any explanation.

Although it is full of guilt for its clan, the vast majority of orcs still revere it as the leader of the orc clan.

Everything has already happened.

The most important thing for Eugene is how to get the clan through this difficult time. Instead of trying to shirk responsibility.

Night falls.

Eugene's old figure stood up from the field, slapped its palms and shook the dirt off its palms, and walked towards its tent. It is difficult for outsiders to imagine that the chief of a race would actually go down to the land to cultivate the land himself, but in fact, the development of the orcs from nomadism to agriculture in the past few decades has been completely promoted by Eugene alone.

Even.

In order to learn the farming skills of humans, it once learned from an experienced old human farmer as a legendary professional.

The farming of the entire clan was taught by it.

Eugene taught them how to irrigate, how to lay out ditches, how to sow and harvest, how to cultivate finely, if not the people who saw it all with their own eyes. It is absolutely impossible to imagine that a peerless powerhouse who can shake the ancient dragon head-on can actually teach his people how to plow the land and sow seeds in the fields like an old farmer.

Eugene is unlike all orcs.

Having traveled across the continent, it firmly believes that only farming can get the orcs out of their current predicament, and only farming can make the orcs grow as strong as humans.

Attacking the half-elves is just for the sake of these lands. Half-elves were chosen only because they were the weakest.

It's getting darker.

Eugene only sleeps three hours a day, so there's plenty of time for him to spare.

It's going to go out and make a round.

However, just as Eugene was about to step out of the tent, it suddenly seemed to sense something. The figure disappeared in place in an instant, and the next moment it appeared hundreds of meters away, and the whole person rose into the air like an eagle. It reached out and grabbed the spear on its back, and approached a mountain peak in the distance.

It sensed a smell of familiarity.

That's the power of the gods!

The other party didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, as if he wanted to lure it out.

Bang.

Eugene's burly figure landed, and in its sight was a hazy figure, completely shrouded in shadow. Although the two sides had fought each other in the vicinity of Fallen Leaf City, it was not until today that Eugene really saw each other's appearances.

A young, somewhat over-the-top half-elf.

In contrast, it has entered its twilight years, and even life is about to come to an end.

"What are you here for?"

Eugene clenched his spear in vigilance, fearful of the strength of the man in front of him, and did not believe that he would come here without a purpose.

The gods aren't that boring.

Facing Eugene's wary look, the half-elf in front of him seemed to smile and said slowly: "Cooperation." ”

Eugene frowned when he heard this.

There was a hint of suspicion on its face, because it felt that it was impossible for it to cooperate with the person in front of it, the half-orc and the half-elf were already a blood feud, the other party was the true god who protected the half-elf, and Eugene was the pillar of the half-orc. It is already very good that the two sides did not immediately fight when they met, and there is no possibility of cooperation between them.

"Long story short."

Sauron looked at Eugene, who was full of vigilance in front of him, and said slowly, "I know your current predicament very well. The current situation of the orcs can be said to be at the end of the road. ”

"But!"

"The city of Mordor can provide you with a batch of food and supplies. It can also be used to control Deciduous City without attacking you, giving you a precious respite. ”

"This batch of supplies should be enough for you to sustain you for a while! I believe that with your ability, it will be no problem to keep the clan safe and survive this crisis. ”

"And there's only one thing I need you to do!"

"That's to help me kill someone."

"Or."

"A true God, I should say."

Eugene was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Who!?" ”

A grim smile appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth, and he said slowly, "Yin-Shadow-Of-Lord!" ……”

A sarcastic smile appeared on Eugene's face when he heard this.

But before it could speak, Sauron continued, "After this is done, I will be the master in the name of the [God of Half-Elves] and all the land north of the Onyx River will be owned by you!" ”

Eugene was instantly moved when he heard this!!
