They have been deep into the hinterland of shamania for four days, and there are a total of eight people in this team, in addition to Duris, who is a royal knight, and Sakolos, the captain of the personal guard who is a knight of the guard, there are also four knights of royal power, a high-ranking bishop, a priest and a guide, I have to mention that the guide named Cameron, his apparent identity is a merchant from the Republic of Monis, who has been in and out of shamania for many years, and buys a large number of high-quality animal skins from the orcs at low prices. The fur was then sent to some processing workshops to be made into furs and fur jackets that were popular with the aristocracy, from which Cameron knew the terrain of the Shamannian plains well, and not only was he proficient in assassination techniques and the use of short crossbows, but Durris was also very curious about how Fawkes had managed to snare this man into his intelligence network

Along the way, although they have also encountered several groups of orc troops, they can all turn evil into good fortune, and they have killed a lot of orcs along the way, but they have never attracted the attention of the orc army, and the reason why it is so smooth is due to this Cameron, who has a discord with which tribe, which tribe has strange customs, It was clear which tribe had a celebration or gathering on which day, so this small force was able to avoid an orc patrol under Cameron's accurate judgment, and if it couldn't avoid it, it would go on a killing spree, and then falsify the evidence at the scene to blame the hostile tribes, so in four days, there were more than 40 orcs killed by Duris and his party, but none of the orc leaders suspected that a small human army had burrowed into their stomachs and caused trouble

Cameron Duris was lying on a hill and watched with a monocular at the foot of the mountain as a group of orc soldiers were running around in training, and then called his guide, what tribe was in front of him, could we possibly pass through it in broad daylight, and asked because Duris didn't want to wait until the evening to march so that precious time would be wasted

Cameron took the binoculars and observed for a while, and then said excitedly to the king: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the following is the Blood Axe Tribe, we have come to the western part of the orc country

Really, this overjoyed news made Duris a little incredulous

Yes, Cameron replied affirmatively, the western part of the orc country is more humid, you see, there is a damp smell in the air, there are more plants around, and more importantly, the orc weapons below are engraved with the symbol of the blood axe tribe, and the capital of the orc country is just after turning over this mountain, and we are about to meet the orc khan

Without further ado, let's go down to see the Khan at once

It's better to wait for the evening

Why was Duris puzzled by Cameron's construction, why did he have to wait until dark to find the supreme ruler of the orcs, when he had already reached the gate of the capital of the orc country

Is this the case, do you know that the orcs live a life of all soldiers...... Cameron was trying to explain patiently to the King

However, the king interrupted him impatiently: I know that you are picking and losing

The point is that the orcs below belong to two phalanxes, in other words, their highest commander is the phalanx leader, and although the phalanx leader is only a fifth-level war leader, but in the orc clan, he is an officer and administrator with real power, if we rashly go out and say that they want to see their khan, maybe these phalanx leaders will indiscriminately order the orc soldiers to besiege us, so we have to wait until the evening, because the blood axe tribe has a tradition, once the night comes, they will send the chiefs or big chiefs to inspect the various phalanxes, and we will wait for those chiefs or big chiefs to come out and reappear and ask to meet with their khans, it is not too late, the chiefs or big chiefs will directly obey the orders of the tribal leaders, and they dare not do anything to us without permissionWhat a thing

The king pondered Cameron's words, and after careful consideration, felt that there was some truth, so he accepted his offer

Here I have to explain in detail the social structure of the orcs

The orc country is more suitable to be called a tribal alliance than a country, and the orc tribe is formed by a dozen tribes, and their common leader is the country of the Khan, and the country of the orcs does not have a fixed capital, and the position of the khan falls into the hands of which tribe, and the capital will move to the base camp of which tribe, where the current orc Khan is the Aka Bloodaxe orc, and the bloodaxe tribe is in power, so the current capital of Shamania is the headquarters of the Bloodaxe tribe: Bloodaxe Castle, as Cameron said, the orcs live the life of all the soldiers, and there is no strict distinction between civilians and soldiers for each orc, so it has also formed a unique form of orc social organization

The war leader is both an officer and an administrator, one-third of the total population of the orc race under their management is a standing combat force, one-third is a trained army and a tamer who domesticates war animals, etc., and the remaining one-third is a logistics production force and the old, weak, sick and disabled, so a fourth-level war leader, although the commander is in charge of a thousand people, but don't think that he can lead a thousand orc soldiers to fight, and in general battles, he can bring out three hundred orc soldiers, even if it is a normal thousand, this number is just the total population under his jurisdiction, as for the phalanx, it is between the thousand people and the tribe

While orcs can increase their combat strength to 60% of the population in times of emergency, and can even increase to 90% in some extreme existential crises, both of these are very rare

For the decision of the king, no one else expressed too much objection, they knew that the king's way of acting was more maverick and different, just like the present extremely risky plan, although at the beginning of the plan, they all tried to explain to the king the risks and the great relationship, but his majesty always dealt with a proverb that is said to be the true kingdom, that is, the desperate place of survival, and then the place of death, and then the next life, although the ministers did not understand the true meaning of this true proverb, but Duriss used his own practical actions to interpret the meaning of the proverb, just as he himself liked the danger of military action very much, although the process was terrifying and terrifying, but in the end they could save the danger and benefitA lot

This extremely risky plan was formulated by the king himself, and was also carried out by him himself, and in his own words, this plan had a heavy meaning concerning the future fate of the Pole Kingdom, and no amount of persuasion from others was ineffective, so he could only turn to full support, trying to share every pressure for His Majesty with his own ability.
