Chapter 587: Impressed
"It seems that the Great Shaman is an orc full of wisdom." Ji Ran laughed and looked at the thin orc with appreciation, "In this matter, it is definitely not possible to fall on yourself with blood alone." But if you ignore it, I am afraid that sooner or later the true God will come to you. So, we have to look for a solution that can solve this problem...... I think it's a good choice to form an alliance with human countries. ”
Ji Ran had thought about it a long time ago. In fact, in the previous days, they had encountered other reconnaissance squads as well.
However, the two sides had different purposes, so they didn't communicate much. But the other party still left them a word, if possible, it is best to help the human country contact some allies.
On the western plateau, the orcs are indigenous and are the race most familiar with the area. Although the power of human beings is stronger, it is difficult to operate in the western plateau without the guidance of local forces.
Therefore, human nations also want to find some orc tribes to form alliances with - large tribes, of course. Small and medium-sized tribes are of no other use if they are out as guides...... And they don't know much.
Large tribes are different, they rule over a wide area and are strong enough in their own right. If you count the small and medium-sized tribes around you, you might be able to rule over hundreds of thousands of orcs...... Although these orcs can't be compared to human armies, they can't be better used as cannon fodder.
And what do orcs need? All kinds of daily necessities. With some things like food and cloth that are cheap in human countries, you can exchange them for a large number of cannon fodder troops, which is simply cost-effective!
The scout team that contacted Ji Ran. It was sent to the western plateau by the Kingdom of Liberal. Ji Ran's impression of Liber is not bad. At least the crown prince and the crown princess have a closer relationship with him...... After all, they had saved these two powerful adults. So he agreed to the other party's request. And obtained the contact information of the other party.
"And the alliance of human nations? That's a good idea...... "Chief Karaman pondered, in fact, he was pleasantly surprised. He had long wanted to form an alliance with the human state, so that they would receive funding from the human state, and then gradually change the living conditions of the orcs, and then gradually get rid of their ignorance......
He also had an idea of what he had to give. The western plateau is barren, but that's only for living things. There are few forests and rivers are scarce. Most of the area is wasteland, with occasional grasslands rich in water and grass. And the temperature here is cold, the air is thin, and it is naturally not suitable for most creatures.
But under such harsh conditions, the creatures that survive in the western plateau are all tenacious and extremely strong. The body parts of the Plateau Demonic Beast are quite good materials for humans.
Moreover, the western plateau is rich in mineral deposits. In fact, most of the orc tribes that deal with human caravans have ore as the main commodity for trading.
The reason why humans do not come to the western highlands for mining. The main reason is that the more obvious large mining areas are occupied by the orc tribes...... The other thing is that the conditions are too bad. Those who are absent from work will be debilitated after working in the western highlands for a while. One will die if he is not careful.
Hire orcs? It's better to buy ore directly from the orcs......
Of course, these minerals are not particularly rare either. Otherwise, even if the human country fights and dies with the orcs, I don't know how many absenteeism, it will take these mines or something.
The exchange of ore for the alliance of human nations is a means that Karaman has long thought of. It's just that he couldn't find a human country willing to ally with him before, and there was some resistance within the orcs, so he never succeeded.
And now, this opportunity is automatically delivered to yourself!
"I don't think it's necessarily a good idea, Sir. In this situation, if we form an alliance with the human nation, I am afraid that our tribe will become the vanguard of their fight against the True God Order, right? In other words, our meaning is to be cannon fodder, right? ”
The great shaman was not carried away by this beautiful news, and immediately reacted.
Ji Ran smiled slightly: "This is the price." If you choose to form an alliance, you still have a small chance of surviving, and you may be able to grow your tribe into the most powerful orc tribe in the western plateau. But if you refuse, you may be able to retain your strength for a short time...... But if the human army does fight with the Order of the True God, which side do you think will care about you? ”
What Ji Ran said was cruel, but it was the truth. Under this storm, an orc tribe is too weak...... Even if they're large tribes.
Karaman has seen the strength of the human army, although the strength of the individual is not as good as that of the orcs, but if they are assembled, the combat effectiveness of both sides will be reduced...... Orcs are so undisciplined that they don't even need to mention tactics or anything.
The most important thing is weaponry. Many of the orc's weapons are the bones of a monster that are picked up casually, and even the metal weapons are shoddy...... Only the strong are qualified and have the resources to get a good weapon - but it is far from the gold-level weapon made by human alchemy.
For example, the metal stick of Karaman's brother is undoubtedly made of rare and precious materials, but the method of making zuò is not flattering at all...... It's almost just a random melt into a stick. If he could use this weapon to fight countless battles, let this stick absorb the blood of countless demonic beasts or other strong people, and eventually he might be able to promote it to a gold-level weapon, but for now, it was just a stick that was heavy enough and hard enough.
The big shaman squinted at Ji Ran, although he was hunched back, he didn't look short at all: "We can't let our people die like that!" We know the nature of human beings very well, they do not want to let their own people be harmed in any way, but they have no scruples about us orcs...... I'm afraid that before the battle is over, we orcs will die completely! In that case, what's the point of keeping the blood tops falling? ”
The Great Shaman really won't succumb so easily. In fact, he was aware of Karaman's ideas, but he had always had a disagreement with Karaman. He thinks that humans can't be so kind to help the orcs, and they will definitely suck the tribe's wealth to nothing. Although he is a little extreme, his idea is not groundless......
Of course, in general terms, he and Karaman are still standing together. It's all about making the tribe more prosperous and prosperous, and it's all about solving the crisis of the tribe.
had already talked about the attitude of the great shaman, and Ji Ran did not seem impatient.
"Actually, I'm just a messenger, and it's mainly your business whether you're aligned or not, and I'm just conveying to you the conditions of the human state. But I can assure you that if you form an alliance with the human nations, at the very least, you will have enough weapons and equipment...... It's the same as the human army. ”
This condition greatly impressed Kailaman and the Great Shaman. Armament of the human army! Compared to his own group of orcs, I don't know how many times better!
Occasionally, they could get their hands on some human-made weapons and equipment, but these were so precious that they ended up being used by the heads of the tribe, and the ordinary orc soldiers were only drooling. And if you ally with humans now, then it is possible to obtain a large number of such equipment!
At that time, the strength of your own tribe will be much higher than that of other tribes, and annexing other large tribes will not just be a dream. If there are enough tribes annexed, they can completely let the orcs of other tribes be cannon fodder, and the blood top will save their strength, and when the war is over, they can develop their own power in the western plateau, and eventually develop and grow......
What the? What if the war is lost, you say? Ghost knows...... If, as these people say, the war is lost, the true God will come to this world, and then he will devour all the living things and valuable things in this world...... When it really comes to that point, everyone is dead, who cares so much?
Ji Ran looked at the expressions of the Great Shaman and Karaman, and knew that his words had moved them. But it doesn't really matter, it doesn't have much to do with you anyway...... If you can't impress them, then there will be reconnaissance teams from other countries to do this kind of thing, and the object of cooperation may not be bloody.
All in all, the next thing is not your own business, and naturally the scouts of the Libel Kingdom will come to talk to the orcs. What Ji Ran and they need now is to rest, as well as sort out the gains and encounters during this time, and then make a plan for the next step.
This time the movement is too big, and the surrounding orc tribes that are controlled by the True God Sect will probably get the news. Dead a powerful disciple of the Golden Intermediate Rank, it is impossible for them not to react at all.
Although it ruined a big plan of the True God Cult, Ji Ran and the others were also exposed to the eyes of the True God Cultists. At least, they knew that there was a group of humans who could kill the gold-mid-tier Hercules, and they were against them!
Perhaps, then, the True Believers are about to make some urgent moves. For example, gather all the orcs they control and prepare for a tough battle with humans. Or is it...... Step up the steps to speed up the fusion of the True God Clones and create a powerful True God Avatar.
Speaking of which, the True God Avatar I had seen in Ironforge had not moved, and I didn't know what he was doing now. But according to Rice's speculation, it is estimated that the true god avatar is secretly devouring other true god clones to increase their strength. Although it takes a lot of time to digest a True God Clone, this long time is enough for that True God Incarnation to ascend to the pinnacle of the Golden Rank!
Perhaps, he may have already been promoted to the Heavenly Rank.
For humans and other intelligent races, this will be their most formidable opponent! (To be continued......)
