Chapter 543: Orc Tribe

The days in the western highlands were quite comfortable...... With Ji Ran by his side, plus plenty of supplies, he can basically live comfortably anywhere - unless it's in an extreme environment.

Although the climate of the plateau is harsh, it is not extreme. Although the problem of breathing restricts everyone's body, they are already such strong masters, and they don't need to care about such a small body problem at all.

The group walked on the plateau for several days, bypassing several small tribes and gradually approaching those large ones...... They don't want to deal with those orcs.

It's a very difficult thing to do. Orcs have their own families, and they love their families just as much as humans. But they don't care so much for others...... As soon as they see that you are not as strong as theirs, they will pounce on you, kill you, and take everything away...... Even the clothes will be stripped naked.

What would you do if you entered orc territory and faced with such a situation? Unless you show the strength that those orcs can't fight against and deter them from the beginning, otherwise, you have to always be on guard against the sneak attacks of those orcs.

And if this is the case, the whereabouts of that group will inevitably be exposed...... They're here to scout! When you come up, you will expose your whereabouts, what kind of trouble are you going to make?

Therefore, they can only bypass and not communicate with the orcs of those small tribes.

The orcs of small tribes are actually more difficult to communicate, and large tribes often deal with some human caravans or something, but small tribes pursue that fierce style. They are wary of strangers and very greedy...... To go to those tribes is to find trouble on your own.

On the way. The crowd also discovered a problem.

This map is somewhat outdated. The terrain of many places is different from the description on the map. And the divisions of those tribes are even more different.

Of course, this is also a matter of course. The map doesn't look like it's been drawn recently...... And the accuracy is not high. It's a matter of course that there are errors.

And it doesn't look like the elves don't want to update the map, but they can't. While powerful elven spellcasters can fly high altitudes, orc powerhouses aren't a joke either.

Although the orcs are not very good at their heads, their bodies are definitely top-notch, surpassing all other intelligent races...... Except for dragons. Even the dwarves, a race of infinite strength, could not compare with the orcs in terms of physical elements.

The physical elements of the orcs made them also appear many gold-level warriors, and their combat power was not inferior to that of other races. And orcs also have spellcasters. The most famous of these is the Shaman, a spellcaster who uses the spirits of orc ancestors as a source of power.

Don't look down on shamans, orcs have existed in this world for I don't know how many years, and I don't know how many ancestral souls there are. Shamans who can truly communicate with a large number of ancestral spirits will exert no less power than human mages and priests!

If you draw a map while flying at high altitude and accidentally find it by an orc shaman and then knock it down, you really don't know how to die.

In addition, the orc shaman has a custom of using the bones of the corpses of enemies to make their own spell casting items...... This habit is beyond the reach of even necromancers......

No one wants to be treated like this after they have sacrificed their lives for their country...... Of course, the elves didn't want to.

So. It's good that they have a map in their hands, and they still expect accuracy?

Orc tribes are not fixed in one place. In fact, many orc tribes are traditional nomadic tribes that often change locations. If you follow the map exactly, you don't know where you'll get pitted.

"But at least, the location of the big tribe shouldn't make a big difference." As the crowd gathered around to study the map, Rice affirmed.

"I don't have much research on orcs, but I do know a little. The large tribes were too large to move elsewhere. They tend to occupy a sizable area of fertile pasture and then rotate their grazing...... If a large tribe moves, unless there is a war, the guide will have to give up those places with abundant water and grass. ā€

Les pointed to the locations of several large tribes on the map, and analyzed them carefully.

"It's a bit of a possibility if it used to, but now it's different...... The True God Order controls those big tribes, so they won't relocate? Ji Ran frowned.

"It shouldn't be enough to control all those big tribes, but about half of them are still about the same. Although the orcs are mostly stupid, they are not without clever guys...... Like those shamans. There will always be shamans who will see that something is wrong with the Order of the True God...... In fact, these orcs are also the target of other countries. ā€

Everyone else agrees with what Rice said. It is necessary to win over the orcs, and every ounce of power has its role. Moreover, use orcs against orcs...... It can also reduce the losses of other countries, no.

That's right, that's what other countries think. Ji Ran couldn't blame this idea...... Because it's really good for other races and countries. Moreover, those orcs can't just expect the armies of other countries to save them with their blood, right? What's more, they may not appreciate it......

Let them fight for their lives, there is nothing wrong with it.

"So what are we going to do?" Ji Ran raised his head and looked at Les. After all, Les is the most experienced and oldest person among the people, and if you form an adventurous team, Les is the captain of the team.

"It's very simple, we need to know which tribes are being controlled by the True God Order, and whether there is any possibility that the other tribes will be co-opted. We also need to know to what extent the True God Order's control over the orcs has reached, and how far its sphere of influence has spread. If possible, it's best to sabotage a couple of their important operations......"

The corners of Baker's mouth twitched: "This task is a bit too heavy, right?" It doesn't feel like we're a scout team can do it......"

"It's not just us as a scout. There are also quite a few reconnaissance teams in other countries, and if we encounter them, we will try to cooperate as much as possible. It's not just our business anymore...... Of course, it's not just about elves. ā€

Les slapped his hand on the map and let out a sigh.

"I have a hunch that this time is a crisis for the whole world. Whenever possible, we will do our best...... Not just for ourselves, but for the whole world, and for those in this world that we value. ā€

Rice's words silenced everyone. Who is not bound by this world? Even Ji Ran has people who are closely connected in this world. For example, Professor Sergei, like Ryan, like Anya......

"It's done! It's just a true god, and it's not like he hasn't killed before! Uncle Rice, just say, what are we going to do! ā€

Baker slammed his fist to the ground and said viciously.

"Now what we have to do is to get close to those big tribes and not startle the snakes......"

The group continued on their way, still rounding all the small tribes they could see. A few days later, they finally approached the first large orc tribe.

Although the civilization of the orc tribe is very primitive, it has learned a lot in such a long war with humans and other races. At least this big tribe looks quite magnificent, completely different from the previous small tribes.

Those small tribes of orcs, that is, places where they can live in stone houses and the like...... Some even borrowed some caves. There are also some simple houses such as tents, which are basically made of animal skins and some rough plant fibers. From a distance, it is extremely rudimentary, and it is doubtful that they can withstand a heavy rain or other natural disasters.

But with large tribes, it's a different story. The houses of these large tribes are also made of stone, and the houses of these large tribes are quite neat and heavy, and they are not much different from some human cities...... It's just that the height of the house is much shorter.

The houses made of stone and wood are very strong...... At least it is impossible to be pushed by the light yƬ. There are simple streets in the middle of the tribe and even a few tall buildings...... Of course, there are only two or three floors, but it already has the appearance of a city.

Ji Ran and the others were wearing cloaks, and the travel of these days made them look dusty on the outside, and they were not much different from other adventurers. Of course, everyone would not enter this tribe so rashly, but observed from a distance outside for a while.

By the way, Ji Ran refined the telescope...... Although the cost is high, and the multiplier is not so high, it is enough. Originally, he had planned to sell it for a high price, but after learning that the mages had long-range detection magic such as the "Mage's Eye", he had to dismiss this idea.

Of course, it's not worthless, after all, not every rich person will carry a magician with him. And the advantage of the telescope is that it does not need any consumption such as magic crystals, it is convenient and fast, and there are always some markets. Ji Ran planned to have the opportunity to hand over the process of making this telescope to the dwarves in exchange for some money.

Now in a cautious consideration, Ji Ran did not let Lydia release the mage's eye, but held the telescope and looked at the scene over there.

There are also quite a few patrols next to the orc tribe, and those patrolmen are wearing rough leather armor, which only defends some vital points, and most of the other places are exposed. The weapons in his hands are also uneven, with wooden sticks, bones, and few metal products...... And even if there are metal products, most of them are mixed with other materials.

Their weapons are also very rugged, often maces, axes, sledgehammers and the like...... It can be seen that the strength of the orcs should be no less than that of the dwarves.

These are all secondary, the most important thing is that Ji Ran saw a human caravan enter this tribe! Along with the caravan, there are many adventurers!

This shows that it is not a dream to blend in with this tribe...... At least until they reveal their identities, there will be no danger!

The premise is that you don't let the orcs notice you...... (To be continued......)
