Volume 2: The Shadow of the Wailing Cave (Remastered) Chapter 33: After the War (2)
Smart people can analyze a lot of things from a simple piece of information, such as the news that Canos inadvertently revealed, which made Yu Bin realize the space that can be used.
The Fireblade Clan is not one of the more powerful clans among the orcs, compared with the big clans such as Black Hand, Thunder King, Dragonthroat, War Song, and Shadow Moon, the Fireblade Clan can only be regarded as medium-sized, and the population of the entire clan is less than 100,000, scattered in Dardas, Hearthvale, Whitemut Hills and other places, only a small number of clan members reside in Orgrimmar, this scattered clan means that they need to spend a lot of energy and financial resources for daily living materials, it is far better to be sheltered by Orgrimmar, Those clans who live in the barren land come with ease.
It was such a clan that had sent 10,000 troops to support the orc chief Thrall in attacking the Flame Rift, and Yu Bin guessed that the purpose of the Fireblade Clan might not be just because of the good relationship with that great chief.
Similarly, even Canos admitted that the attack on the Flame Rift caused the orcs to suffer a lot of losses, so of course the Fireblade Clan was the same, Yu Bin didn't believe that those orc overseers would be concerned about the loss of the Fireblade Clan and hide them, or even the opposite, because the Fireblade Clan was not strong, in order to reduce their own losses, those orc overseers would probably use these reinforcements as the main force.
In many cases, this thing has corrosive abilities that are more terrible than death!
"Canos, how are you doing with those fellows from the Fireblade Clan?" Yu Bin thought for a while and asked.
"It's not bad, when I first came to the world of Entagre, the Warsong Clan and the Fireblade Clan used to support each other for a long time, but because my clan finally chose to join the demon, I separated from the Fireblade Clan who still insisted on fighting independently, but the relationship between the two clans still maintained a very good relationship!" Canos said as he struck the ingot with a hammer and said that he was forging the nails, which were a blacksmith's main job and commodity.
In a society where there is no machining and injection molding, creating qualified iron nails is an important criterion for judging the skill of a blacksmith, and even a blacksmith who can't make iron nails will not believe that he can create qualified armor and weapons, and in daily life, iron nails, iron sheets and iron buckles are the most consumed forging products, and a blacksmith will spend almost three-quarters of his time on these things every day. Like in some fantasy novels, a blacksmith who focuses on crafting weapons and armor every day is almost impossible to exist in reality!
"I have a business I want to work with the Fireblade Clan, but I don't know those guys well, and I don't think they believe me as an undead." Yu Bin shrugged his shoulders, his humble strength is his biggest flaw now, and many times he has to rely on the influence of other aborigines to achieve his goals, "So, as a friend, can you help me!" ”
"Business? Do you want to sell the ore to them as well? Canos didn't think that Yu Bin could have any business with the Fire Blade Clan, "Although the life of those guys is not as moist as that of Orgrimmar, there is still no shortage of ore, if you want to talk to them about the sale of ore, it is better to sell them some fabric, they need this soft thing more!" ”
Yu Bin smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not ore, and of course it's not cloth, it's something more important!" I can assure you that this business is definitely their dream! ”
"Well, friend, I'll tell Sesk what you said, he's the overseer of the Fireblade soldiers, and the son of Darl Bloodblade, the Fireblade Clan, and I have a bit of a friendship with him."
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome, I hope you can bring me more cold iron ore!" Karnos is obviously not a fool either, orcs are just rough-looking, but that doesn't mean they're all brainless!
Of course, most of them are brainless!
Yu Bin met Sesk Bloodblade the next day, and as Canos said, the son of the Fireblade patriarch looked tall and mighty, with several hideous scars on his body, and the red skin made these scars look like fire centipedes, constantly twisting with the agitation of muscles.
"Canos said you want to talk to me about business! An undead? Haha, what do you want to sell me? Bone strengthening powder? Like most orcs, Sesk looked down on the undead, just like Canos when he first met.
"It's not a smart man's thing to do to keep good intentions out, the Sesk Overseers, especially for the Fireblade Clan, who have lost a lot of money in this attack on the Flame Rift!"
Sesk poured the wine from the glass in one gulp, the orc's wine glass was made of hard palm wood, the size of a real-life beer glass, the king-sized one, and the wine these green-skinned beasts drank was certainly not a low-strength beer, and the alcohol content of less than thirty was no different from plain water for the orcs.
By the way, the dwarf's definition of wine is an alcohol content of more than 60 degrees, and Yu Bin tasted the wine made by the dwarves once in his previous life, even if it is known as the dwarven winter brew with the lowest intensity, it is similar to the vodka in reality, which made Yu Bin at that time amazed, and deeply sighed that those dwarves had not drunk to death on the wine table until now.
The orc overseer stretched his face in front of Yu Bin and said with an angry expression: "Little guy, there are no cowards in the Fireblade Clan, as long as it is for the benefit of the race, we are even willing to pay for the lives of the entire clan. You undead who only hide in the shadows and engage in intrigue are not qualified to judge us! ”
"Of course, I've heard of the bravery and loyalty of the Fireblade Clan, and while fleeing from your native Nora World, countless Fireblade Sword Saints rushed towards those terrifying abyssal monsters, just to buy a little time for the orcs to escape. Believe me, I don't mean to be offensive to you or your clan. ”
Yu Bin's words made Sesk change slightly: "I didn't expect that your little undead would know the history of our Fire Blade Clan, even if it was only a small point. Well, I've decided to listen to you and tell me about your so-called business! ”
Yu Bin knew that the main event was coming, and not only Sesk, but even Canos sat aside, wanting to hear what Yu Bin would do business with the Fireblade Clan.
"I've heard from Lord Canos that the Fireblade Clan seems to be living in several different areas for various reasons, lacking a lot of supplies."
"It's no secret! My clan does lack a lot of things, food, cloth, weapons, armor, all kinds of daily necessities and raw materials, and if you can provide these, I can now make up my mind and agree to a home deal. Sesk said unconcernedly, "We can exchange ores and all kinds of furs, and even provide mercenaries, the Juggernaut of the Fireblade Clan is the best!" Well, of course, second only to the Warsong Clan! ”
Of course, Yu Bin that Sesk said knew that in fact, it was not uncommon for such an existence to be similar to the Fireblade Clan, as long as the player could provide them with enough benefits, not to mention mercenaries, even the hero-level Sword Saint could be invited to be a bodyguard, of course, the price would be very high.
"Of course, I can provide the supplies your clan needs, but I take the liberty of asking, why didn't the Fireblade Clan choose to live in the barrens? If you bring it up to the High Chief, I think it will be supported, and there shouldn't be any clan in Orgrimmar who will object to this request. ”
As Yu Bin said, with Thrall becoming the new Grand Chieftain, the power of the Mafia Clan, which originally dominated the country, has dropped significantly, and even their control over Orgrimmar and the Barren Land has begun to fade, in this case, it is not difficult for Thrall to move a clan with a population of less than 100,000 to the Barren Lands.
Yu Bin guessed that this time the Fireblade Clan provided 10,000 people for Sal to drive, I am afraid that it was for this purpose, when the reinforcements of the Fireblade Clan had made enough meritorious contributions in the battle against the Flame Rift, Sal's relocation of the Fireblade Clan to the barren land would also be much smoother, at least there was an excuse that could be used to block the mouths of several other big clans.
Sesk, as the son of the Fireblade Patriarch, personally led the team to reinforcements, apparently out of this consideration.
"Alas, where is it so easy! Not to mention the opposition of the other big clans, even if they agreed, the Fireblade Clan would not be able to migrate to the barren land! Perhaps these words touched the scar in Sesk's heart, and for a moment, the strong orc revealed a dejected aura, and he no longer spoke, just gulped down his wine.
"In fact, at the clan meeting not long ago, Grand Chief Thrall did make this request, although the Thunder King and the Dragonthroat Clan strongly opposed it, but relying on the support of the Warsong Clan and the Shadow Moon Clan, it was not very difficult to force this order through." It was Canos who was sitting on the side who spoke, and the orc blacksmith didn't speak much from just now, but he didn't expect that he was also very clear about the orc clan meeting. However, considering that this hero-level orc is also a well-known figure in the Warsong Clan, it may not be difficult to know this.
"Let me guess, since with the support of Chief Thrall, and the resolution of the clan council is not impossible, the only reason why the Fireblade Clan cannot move to the Barren Land is probably the land issue!" As Yu Bin expected, based on the information he received from Sesk and Karnos, he was already convinced that his plan could be carried out smoothly.
"That's right." Sesk nodded, "The barren lands suitable for orcs have been divided up by several big clans, it is simply impossible to take enough land from those big clans, and it is impossible for Grand Chief Thrall to do such a thing that is enough to cause the entire orcs to split!" ”
"Since there is no way to get land from other clans, why not develop new land?"
"That's easy, little undead, do you know how difficult it is?" Sesk glanced at Yu Bin with disdain, "Except for a few oases in the entire barren land, almost all the places suitable for orcs to survive have been occupied by us. Developing new land? Will you take the oasis from those centaurs, or will you fight the Velociraptors for the plains, or will you share the grasslands with the Kodomons? ”
For a clan to survive, it is not just a large enough open space to be satisfied, this borderless land needs at least an adequate source of water, an adequate source of food, followed by a relatively safe surrounding environment, the former is a necessity for survival, and the latter is the minimum element for the survival of the clan.
And neither the Velociraptor Plains nor the Kodomon Grassland meet this requirement, the former is close to the coast, and back-to-back with the Dust Swamp, water and food are sufficient, but the pirates from the sea and the monsters in the swamp are a major threat, the Fireblade Clan cannot build a city like Orgrimmar, and without enough protection, the newborn of the clan has to face a threat to life, which the Fireblade Clan is never willing to face.
In the same way, neither is the Kodo Beast Grassland, because there is no water source there, and only a little snow-capped mountain meltwater from the waterless ridge is not enough to support the survival of a clan with a population of 100,000, not to mention that it is close to the Ash Valley, which is the front base for the elves to attack Orgrimmar in every camp war, and the Fireblade Clan taking root in the Kodo Beast Grassland is simply creating a sub-base at the enemy's doorstep, and it will not be blown up in minutes unless you directly enter who is your father!
The Sweetwater Oasis and the Stalewater Oasis are more appropriate, but the two centaur tribes are in the way. If you want to occupy two oases, you have to expel these two centaur tribes first, for the centaurs who come and go like the wind, it is impossible for the orcs who mainly rely on two legs to run away to annihilate the centaurs, and the total population of the two tribes together is more than 20,000, and no orc clan wants to challenge this enemy by its own strength.
In fact, if a new piece of land could be developed so easily in the barren land for the orcs to survive, there would also be the current Fire Blade Clan, whether it was the Thunder King or the Dragon's Throat, which was not a big clan with a population of hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of troops, how could it be possible to leave such fat meat to others for nothing.
Or some people say why don't these big clans develop two oases themselves? Desperately kill tens of thousands of soldiers, drive those centaurs away and defend them for decades, and the two oases are not their own land!
Hehe, originally a piece of cake was divided into five people, although the taste of the cake was a little worse, but everyone because of the same physique, they could always get a fifth, but there was a small cake next to it, you want to spend your own money to eat the small cake, but other people think that you are bigger after eating the small cake, maybe the big cake will be taken up more by you, who do you think will agree to you to eat that small cake?
