Chapter 975: The Orcs Who Alarm Middle-earth
After successively sweeping the two great powers of mankind, Rohan and Gondor, the orcs gained great war dividends in this extremely easy war. Countless grains and meat were transported back to the East one after another, and then the non-stop orcs began to storm the Rohan Pass, preparing to enter the West.
At this time, the humans, elves and dwarves who reacted, finally woke up. They began to gather spontaneously, gathering a large number of troops, sniper orcs.
Whether it is an elf, a human, or a dwarf, when they first see an orc, the fear that has arisen from the beginning involuntarily wells up from the bottom of their hearts.
Humans and dwarves are fine, their fear of orcs is more due to the unknown. Because it was the first time they had seen orcs, unlike Orc, orcs lived up to their name, they had the head of a beast, a similar body, and their limbs were strong and powerful claws. They don't need extra weapons, their claws and teeth are the best weapons.
And when the elves saw the orcs, the fear in their hearts was more awakened. Originated from the alien army led by Sauron during his attack on Middle-earth and Valinor. When the three clans faced the alien army, they couldn't resist effectively at all, so they were scattered by the aliens in an instant. What followed was a brutal slaughter.
Later, when Sauron destroys Númenor and attacks Valinor. The alien's terrifying lethality and changeable ability to reproduce almost completely destroyed all things in Middle-earth. Although Iluvita was destroyed by the Xenomorphs, the immortal elves, the fear in their hearts did not disappear with the destruction of the Xenomorphs. Rather, it has always been hidden in the deepest part of the heart.
Therefore, when the orcs appeared, the elves' fear of the orcs came more from the aliens. They were horrified by the horrific appearance of the orcs, resembling the muscular bodies of the High Elves. and the rapid action to quickly destroy the two great powers of the human race, there are too many similarities with the original aliens! Therefore, humans are mostly afraid of whether orcs are aliens or not.
As a result, the three clans that began to unite again collapsed without effective resistance in the first head-to-head confrontation with the orcs. The orcs then pursued the defeated army of the three tribes, rushed into the Rohan Pass, and truly entered the vast and prosperous West. The remnants of the three tribes quickly retreated and fled to all parts of Middle-earth, while the orcs swept everywhere, robbing and killing all the people of Middle-earth that could be seen. At the same time, the collapsed three clans simply can't come up with a corresponding response, they are too little understanding of the orcs, while the orcs know each other well.
Thus, the first war, the war in which Sauron officially appeared in Middle-earth, began.
During the years when the orcs swept in, the three tribes gathered together to protect themselves, while choosing dangerous terrain to block the orc's attack. At the same time, the talented people of the three tribes began to study strategies against the orcs. They have been defeated repeatedly, but they have also fully understood the orcs in the war against them. Although they are terrifying-looking, they are stronger than Oak. However, this is not the case for all orcs. Only, the five clans of lions, tigers, bears, leopards and wolves are like this, and the rest of the orcs are not stronger than the oaks, or even inferior to the oaks, and they act as transporters.
Compared to their truly powerful reproductive ability, the five clans of lions, tigers, bears, leopards and wolves are still limited by the rules of the world in Middle-earth. Although they have several times as many children as humans, the brutal competition within the group and the competition after they grow older make their chances of dying extremely staggering. Therefore, they are stronger, but in terms of population, they do not have an advantage. In addition, in the long war, some people will be more or less lost, and therefore, in the subsequent war, the three tribes defeated the orcs for the first time and drove them back to the east again.
The appearance of the orcs was also known to Vera with the renewed war in Middle-earth. At this time, even Vera had to marvel at Sauron's whimsy! At the same time, when the heartache is so evil, the heart is still more angry! However, the threat of orcs is nothing compared to the aliens, especially when the three tribes, who have been defeated repeatedly, unite to defeat the orcs again and drive them back to the east. Vera no longer believed that Sauron and the orcs he had created could pose a threat to Valinor, but the Veras kept their eyes on Middle-earth in case something beyond their control arose.
Although the three tribes reunited, and after repeated defeats, they drove the new powerful enemies back to the east. However, compared to the rich orcs who plundered, the three tribes were undoubtedly the ones who suffered the most. Their cities, towns and villages were destroyed by the orcs, and their wealth and food were plundered by the orcs. Therefore, the three tribes, unable to attack, began to work together to build a vast and continuous fortress at the Rohan Pass.
And at the moment when their respective forces were stretched, they drew troops and stationed them in the fortress. The hussar nation of Rohan also abandoned their vast territory in the East, and instead rebuilt the country in the Aneid region, absorbing some of the dark humanity as well as sweeping away it. They who are next to Rothlorian do not dare to secretly target Roslorian as before. Because the reappearance of a new enemy in Middle-earth also means the return of Sauron, and in the face of a common enemy, humanity has turned to seek cooperation with elves and dwarves.
However, the elves, who have already experienced another betrayal, dare not trust humans as much as before. The innate changeability of human beings makes the elves extremely disgusted, not to mention the crisis of Roslorian at the beginning, which also caused the elves to suffer irreparable heavy damage and destruction. Therefore, in the face of humanity seeking cooperation and support again, the elves in fact gave a certain amount of neglect and ignorance.
They themselves also suffered heavy losses, but with the previous time, the great alliance of elves with less than five thousand troops, the sweepers of thirty thousand human troops. The rebuilt and reborn Rohan Kingdom could not give birth to the idea of fighting against the elves, or even fighting against the elves. Their efforts to mend the gap and mistrust between them and the elves had little effect, but under the threat of the orcs, the elves and humans began to unite again.
Skilled craftsmen and engineers from the dwarves, master strategists from the elves, and workers from the human race began to build a magnificent fortress along the vast Rohan Pass. And it began to dock with the White Mountains where the Gondor Kingdom was located, and at the same time that the Rohan Kingdom was shrinking its borders, the Gondor Kingdom was also shrinking its own borders.
They have abandoned the rich lands east of the Gillaine River and are building a new capital city on the banks of the Chillier River!
Because the capital city close to the east or even near the Ash Mountains has long been unsuitable as the capital of Gondor again. The orcs from the east would then target Gondor as their primary target, so when Rohan fell, he rebuilt his homeland by shrinking his borders. The same is true of Gondor, who is blessed by the white mountains north of Gondor, who are not afraid of the attacks of the orcs from north to south, and the vast white mountains are the best barrier. However, the rich land east of the Gillaine River, with its dense rivers and fertile land, is not overlapping by mountains, and this side also faces to the east, so there is no danger to defend. Gondor, set up lookouts along several large rivers to observe possible attacks by the orcs.
In the middle of the Dore en El Nir Mountains, a majestic fortress city was built to serve as a barrier against the orcs from entering the interior. By dragging this mountain range to the south, the holes in the borders of Gondor are filled, and the Rohan Pass, which is connected to the White Mountains, is enough to be attacked by either side. On the other side, they are able to carry out a quick rescue.
The strategic defense arrangement was completed, and the three clans, who had calmed down for the time being, began to recuperate. However, the Orcs' ability to recover quickly still exhausted the trihords, who, like nomads, often attacked Rohan Pass or Gondor. They wantonly plundered food, meat and wealth, and the three tribes, which had suffered heavy losses at first, were temporarily unable to pursue and suppress the murderous orcs. The situation was strangely calm down for a while, but the undercurrent underground was never settled!
