In the history of the changes of this planet, the period of history that took place on the eve of the great change in the establishment of the empire has always felt a little confusing, and it has always been the object of every effort of later generations of researchers.

At that time, the civil strife that occurred in the leopard tribe on the west coast - "the rebellion caused by the two elves" is one of the important historical nodes, it is the origin of everything, is the cause of the event, and its position in this series of historical changes is like the initial fuse, igniting the bonfire of the great changes that took place in the orc wasteland afterwards, pointing out the way forward for history.

Its most important significance to history is that the "Elven Incident" made the Leopard tribe on the west coast severely weakened, giving the Holy Emperor the best opportunity to expand southward.

……

Zhang Quan felt that the orc nobles on the grassland were not good birds, and the patriarch of the cat people, Caters, not only betrayed his master, but also took a bite back, wanting to create rumors and use the civil strife of the claw department to drag the entire leopard tribal alliance to the brink of war, and at the same time running to his side to ask for help, he did not forget to want to yin himself, which is really not a good thing.

And the tragic Otellus, perhaps the only one among the orc nobles who has some character, when he was finally betrayed by his relatives, he hacked his brothers to death with a backhand, which was also ruthless and unjust.

In short, the orcs from the bottom are easier to get along with, and they know how to be grateful, and they will not be so reasonable, oh, maybe there is another race of orcs that are relatively easy to get along with, and that is the minotaurs. The Minotaur's focused personality and love for labor technology made Zhang Quan feel very good.

But then again, although Zhang Quan doesn't have a good impression of Cartels, something happened to his neighbor in the south, so Zhang Quan had to rush to such a lively trip. As a ruler, you always have to put the interests of the group first, and if you don't take it this time, you will suffer from it. He had long wanted to get his hands on the fertile land of the South.

Although war is not Zhang Quan's preferred way to solve problems, many times he has to admit that he is the only way to solve problems. Including the problems of the base mountain tribes themselves, I am afraid that in the worst case, they also need to be solved by war.

War can bring victory, but also prestige and power, and under the deterrence of invincible forces, many hidden dangers also have no chance of occurring. As the human patriarch of an orc tribe, it was really difficult for Zhang Quan to find a more direct and effective way to increase his prestige than victory for the time being. The idea has been decided, the next day, the base mountain tribe soldiers began to mobilize, Zhang Quan prepared weapons and armor, set the marching order, at noon, the tribal soldiers began to set off.

And Zhang Quan himself, as the commander-in-chief, still remembers from time to time what he discussed with his orcs last night:

"What collusion with foreigners, betrayal of orcs, where is there such an exaggeration, it is all the hateful cat people who add fuel to the vinegar there, it's just that those nobles need a righteous and bright reason when they want to annex the leopard tribe, we orcs don't value this, patriarch, you are a human, but we all love you from the bottom of our hearts!"

"You're worried about the noble orcs?"

"Oh, yes, those noble orcs always like to fool people with some orc glory, God of War doctrine and the like, but that's what the self-righteous kings of the tiger and the lion people care about the most, they have always wanted to be crowned as the emperor of the orc empire, but where do other tribes eat their set.

Except for the vassal races in their sphere of influence, no other tribe obeys their orders, and the orcs in the wasteland have always fought on their own and swallowed each other, even the Pope on the Temple Mountain has no choice, let alone just them.

The orcs will only unite when they fight against foreign invasions, and that was decades ago. And in this wasteland, only the priests in the middle of the temple mountain can make everyone believe it.

So, you don't have to worry about your human identity at all, if you want to talk about the human merchants walking in the wasteland, they are the guests of honor of the nobles of the various tribes! ”

In short, none of the orc high-ranking staff under his command took his human identity seriously, which made Zhang Quan feel that he was completely false alarm. This once again made Zhang Quan feel that in the orc society, there was undoubtedly a huge gap between the cognition of the upper orc nobles and the lower orcs.

The high-ranking staff under him, according to his thoughts, are naturally all low-class orcs in this society, and they are born revolutionaries.

But in any case, this incident always gave him a wake-up call to some extent!

The army of the base mountain tribe marched south, and the composition of the soldiers in it seemed strange to the orcs of the other tribes.

The base mountain tribe's own minotaur is regarded by Zhang Quan as the spark of scientists and engineers, and he is never willing to take it out and use it as cannon fodder on the battlefield. Therefore, the composition of the warriors of this tribe is a large part of the strong war race, after all, the number of real strong war orcs under his own command is very small, and only a small number of hundreds of Bills bear people can join the soldiers and use them as spearheads.

Even so, it has greatly affected the progress of the tribe's mining industry, because even though the mining of the base mountain tribe has been partially strengthened by the machinery from the earth, the main force of mining is still the largest orcs.

Through the previous experiments, the skinny rat people are not inferior to those tall orcs in digging this side skill, and even to a certain extent, their labor enthusiasm is higher than that of other races. So, he simply let all the excavation work in the pit take over by these seemingly most useless orcs in the tribe, and only in the handling and unloading link did he use orcs of other races who were tall and horse-tall to do it, so that the main miners of the base mountain eventually became rat people.

The number of rat people in the tribe has grown a lot in this period of time, and many of the surrounding tribes are throwing garbage at them like garbage, and when they hear that the base mountain tribe is so hungry that even the rat people have to buy a large number of them, they are happy, it is like the New Year.

In this way, with the continuous increase of rat labor positions in key production positions such as city construction and mines, this poor orc race has finally become an irreplaceable and valuable race in the base mountain tribe, instead of burrowing underground all day long, actively and passively isolated from the entire orc society, which is obviously of great help to the status of this orc race in the entire tribe.

Of course, the amount of labor has increased, and the diet of the rat people is also changing, they are no longer a race that goes to the snow all day long to dig grass roots to eat, but with the consumption of a large number of staple foods and meat, even the physique of the race is slowly increasing.

In the end, the base mountain tribe soldiers mobilized a total of 600 centaur cavalry, 800 kobold infantry, and 300 bear heavy infantry, as well as other winged and centaur scouts with a total of less than 100, a total of more than 1,700 soldiers, and more than 1,000 baggage teams composed of a few centaurs and most sheep-headed people, carrying the food and clothing of the whole army and more than 800 large camels. Oh, and I forgot to mention that this army also includes a sapper team of three hundred strong adult nezumi. This is an experimental special unit that Lord Zhang Quan made up on a whim.

There is something wrong with such a component of the tribe on the base, I have to say that the strength is not enough when confronting the main force of the orcs, not to mention the high-level staff under Zhang Quan's subordinates who are very worried, even Zhang Quan himself is a little lacking in confidence.

He had seen with his own eyes the majesty of the minotaurs and the bears when they fought, just the untrained minotaurs who were still under his own command at that time, and these went south, and it was likely that they were the real strong fighting races in the wasteland-the leopard people, then, how strong the frontal combat ability of the orc elites encountered on the battlefield should be, he was very uneasy.

So the Iron Hammer Tribe, the friendly tribe of the base mountain came in handy at this time, and the owner from the base mountain personally requested, and promised to be rewarded with the best steel armor and weapons, the Iron Hammer tribe sent a mercenary tribal soldier, three hundred Minotaur elite, handed over to the base mountain tribe to go south with the team.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 mercenaries from other "friendly tribes", most of them orcs of the centaur, kobold, and sheep-headed races, all of whom have gathered from all directions under the "call" of the base mountain, and gathered with the army of the base mountain tribe to march south.

On the way, the troops passed through the Southwest Pige Alliance, which was once the enemy of the base mountain tribe, but now it has also become a "friendly tribe" of the base mountain, and another 600 elite Pigs joined it.

As a result, when it finally came out of the sphere of influence that the base mountain tribe had worked hard to manage for more than half a year, the size of the entire army had rapidly swelled to nearly five thousand. In this barren, inaccessible wasteland, it was like a sleeping dragon suddenly awakened and roared to the southern land and spread its fangs.

Zhang Quan's Memorandum 7:

"War, another war!

It's a war that will have to be faced for the future expansion of Base Mountain, and a test of what I, my orcs, and what we've done here.

If we succeed, our foundation will be unstoppable, and if we fail, we need to continue to hibernate.

But, I believe, our path forward cannot be stopped!
