Chapter 348: Recruiting Orcs

Seeing that his people were safe and sound, Wei Xu also guessed the thoughts of this orc elder. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"So you won?" As the Nord warrior of the Half Moon Collar was pulling the convoy back, the old orc suddenly asked Wei Xu.

"yes, if you don't win, it's the Somer Elf standing here, not me." Wei Xu didn't care, and made a joke by the way. It wasn't until he finished saying that he realized that the orc in front of him might not understand his relaxed teasing.

Sure enough, for Wei Xu's answer, the orcs pondered for a while before they understood: "So the empire is still fighting with Somer?" The war is not over yet? ”

Wei Xu looked at the orc in front of him, this question caught him off guard, but it also verified Wei Xu's previous guess. "The empire is also dying, the emperor was assassinated a few days ago, and along with his distant cousin, Prince Motire, is also dead."

Wei Xu's news obviously made the orc in front of him a little stunned, and the old orc didn't ask the captive about the empire. In his opinion, the empire will definitely be able to survive after retreating to the sky, and if he rests in that place again, it is entirely possible to counterattack back to Cellodir. He also thought about the situation where the Empire and Somer had been scorching on the border between Syrodil and Skyrim, and finally the two sides had to stop fighting. But he really didn't think that the empire would actually fall.

"The Empire is dead?" The orc asked again.

"Well, you may not know, thirty years ago, the Emperor and Somer signed a thing called the Platinum Agreement, which agreed to remove Talos from the Nine Holy Spirits......" Wei Xu saw that this old orc looked like "I don't know what world it is", and began to popularize it to him, and the major events that have happened in recent times. This includes the problem of the vampire of Phocles, the assassination of the Emperor and the invasion of the dragons.

When these words were almost finished, the half-moon leader warrior also drove the convoy into the only road in the forest that could be passed. In official terms, "the two sides had friendly and cordial talks, and finally the leader of the orc fortress took the initiative to return the hostages and looted materials he had taken due to the misunderstanding." ”

Is that the end of it? Of course not.

Since Wei Xu knew that this orc had been in the imperial ranks before, he began to pay attention to a nest of orcs in this fortress. After all, there are indeed not many orcs who communicate with humans in such a "kind" way in Skyrim, and it can be said that they are almost extinct except for this one. Although there is a reason for the racial discrimination of the Nords in Skyrim against the orcs, they always refuse to communicate with outsiders.

The most critical problem is that if there is an orc infantry, then the combat effectiveness of the Half Moon Leader can be said to be a higher level, and it is not blown out of one enemy and ten. Even if there is no second time in a short period of time, even if this explosive battle method is not possible, for the legion, it is enough to have such a battle once!

"By the way, I have a little more proposal here." Wei Xu looked at the orc elder who was about to turn around and leave, and suddenly spoke.

"Don't try to pull us to your army, I can tell you unequivocally, we're not going!" People are old and refined, and although this kind of orcs who have lived for seventy or eighty years also have muscles in their brains, many people also rely on muscle reactions to do it. When Wei Xu said this, the orc elder didn't even turn his head.

"I mean, this is still Bremd territory, which means this is my territory!" Looking at the orc elder who was about to leave, Wei Xu was very decisive when he said this, without considering the consequences of saying this.

The next moment, the old orc stopped.

"You're going to fight? Your Excellency? The old orc pressed very hard when he said these two words. It was almost the moment the orc spoke, and Wei Xu had a creepy feeling of being targeted by a fierce beast.

"Aha, what do you say, I said before, peace is needed." Wei Xu smiled awkwardly, and then said slowly, trying to consider his every word, so as not to let this old orc with his back to him feel hostile. "I mean, after all, this is still under the rule of the Half Moon Collar. I won't interfere in such a thing as raising private soldiers and building a city by yourself, and I won't bother with your internal governance issues. However, I need you to create a village outside the fortress so that you can arrange more people and trade with the outside world in the future. We are responsible for the defense of the village...... Also, when Bremd is settled, we'll build a road to this side, which can be regarded as an official road that can be used for passage. ”

Far away in the independent Osingneum of High Rock Province is not full of fortresses, they are at most in the form of tribal groups, more like small villages in tribal units. The orcs were completely forced to build their own fortresses, or they lacked a sense of security. In the whole of Tamriel, there is only a scattered orc outside the high rock to build a fortress. After all, long ago, when the Septin dynasty was at its strongest, the orcs belonged to the most expensive group of slaves. Big and powerful, whether it is used as a coolie or as a guard, it is the best choice.

As a result, the orc tribes that were left alone outside of the high rock were often attacked, and all men, women, and children were captured as slaves. Over time, the lone orc tribe gradually gathered together and built fortresses in the wild to protect themselves. It was also at that time that the name of the fortified orc fortress spread throughout Tamriel.

Of course, Wei Xu himself didn't know this information, he just wanted to try, and he couldn't recruit strong men directly from the fortress, so let them gradually open up in their own territory first. After slowly getting acquainted with this kind of life, it is not a matter of whether he can recruit or not.

But to the orc elders, these sounds like two feelings. Village? Bazaar? I heard that this kind of thing exists in the orc tribe of High Rock Province, but it is ...... in other places

You must know that there is no human right in this era. When the dynasty was at its peak, the Imperial people considered themselves nobles among the human race, while the Nords in the north were barbarians, and the Red Guards and Goyan people in the west were hillbillies. And the Nords think that the Imperial people are generally too motherly and too bad, and things that can be solved with their fists can be solved, but they have to be solved with their mouths. At the same time, they felt that they were the eldest of the human race, inheriting the pre-Gnods, the purest human blood, while the other human races were mixed with the despicable natives and polluted. On the elf side, the high elves consider themselves nobles and that all other elves should submit to them.

And the two races almost tacitly believe that the orcs (the Argonians, the cat people, and the legendary crocodile people, fox people, lion people, snake people, and other intelligent creatures that walk upright but have animal characteristics) are the most lowly mongrels and only worthy of being slaves for watching and playing. As for our forsaken elves, that is what the orcs call in the elven race. This race, which was obviously excluded by the elves, naturally fell into the category of slave races.

So the orcs have been in this position for a long time that their grandmothers don't love their uncles. Although they are self-reliant, relying on ancestral crafts and hunting for a living, they are often bullied when it comes to foreign trade. This gradually made the foreign race feel that the orcs were particularly difficult to get along with, and in the lord's territory, the orc tribe was also ignored. Like Wei Xu's conditions, help build villages, open up markets, and open trade routes? In the eyes of the old orcs, the first reaction was human rhetoric, pure fantasy.
