Chapter 35 New Changes in the Base Mountain Tribe
If an orc who was once familiar with the base mountain tribe came here again after the first month of 2016 in the Earth calendar, he would be amazed at the great changes that had taken place here. Harvey, the enshriner of Old Fox (Foxman) from the envoys of the Minotaur Hammer tribe, had a deep feeling about this.
At the beginning, when the early winter season of the wasteland was approaching this year, when they heard the news that a group of wandering orcs had gathered to defeat the Pyg Alliance in the southwest and establish a tribe, the Hammer tribe reacted blindly. Pigs are Pigs, no matter how large the population of the Pigs in the wasteland is, they will not let the battle-hardened Boers give them respect, and the wandering orcs who can defeat the Pigs are also the same, and they are not worthy of entering the eyes of the Minotaurs of the Hammer Tribe.
But all this after some further series of news from the base mountain tribe, the attitude of the Boers gradually began to change, although this base mountain tribe is mainly composed of wandering orcs, unlike the real tribe in the wasteland always has a group of strong war orcs as the core, but this tribe does show a lot of signs of becoming stronger.
First of all, the legend of this tribe is actually established with a powerful human merchant as the core, this mysterious human merchant is the same as the human beings located in the southern continent, although he does not have a strong physical strength, but he also has a strong strength that the orcs do not understand, he can provide almost unlimited food to the orcs who submit to him, and the legend says that the first-class orcs in the base mountain eat better than the most honorable patriarch in the Iron Hammer tribe.
What does this mean for orcs?
It means that in this cold winter, there will not be a clansman who dies of hunger, and hunger is the only mortal enemy of the orcs living in this wasteland, except for hunger, the orcs can endure almost everything, cold, desolation, disease, war, these are nothing to the orcs, the rough-skinned orcs can endure all this, but the only thing that cannot be resisted is hunger.
It can be said that if you can provide a large amount of food so that the orcs are not affected by hunger in this winter, then it will have enough influence on the orcs.
And then there is the fact that in addition to food, the human patriarch of this strange orc tribe has even greater ambitions, and he is going so far as to build a city for his orcs in the wasteland!
Building a city, this is a little different from the nature of other news, a tribe can build a city, it means that they not only have enough food, but also means that they have a large amount of supplies, but also means that the tribe has a strong organizational ability, and in addition to all this, build a city! It also means that the base mountain tribe has mastered the technology of large-scale city construction. And this has always been in the hands of the Minotaur tribe and has been kept secret.
The human patriarch of the base mountain tribe is by no means an ordinary human! Even in the southern continent, city building is a technology in the hands of a few human engineering masters, and the technology of building cities in the hands of humans is far more cumbersome and advanced than the technology of the bull-headed people in the wasteland. Is the patriarch of the base mountain tribe really confident that this vital technology will be introduced to the wasteland?
The people of the Iron Hammer Tribe really didn't understand, after some heated discussions, the Iron Hammer Tribe decided to take a friendly attitude towards the Base Mountain Tribe, no matter what, the Base Mountain Tribe has shown its strong heritage and strength, so the surrounding neighbors should show due kindness to this strength.
The Minotaurs only slightly did not understand the attitude of the human patriarch of the base mountain tribe.
You must know that for thousands of years, except for the period of the Minotaur Empire, human beings have always been the masters of this continent, and the orcs of the Northwest Wasteland are simply uncivilized beasts in their eyes, and their attitude towards the orcs in the wasteland has always been blockade and oppression, and they have never given the orcs recognition. The Hengduan Mountains on the southern border are the shackles of human beings holding the throats of the orcs, and they will never take the initiative to help the orcs develop. Now that such a human has suddenly appeared in the most remote corner of the Northwest Wasteland, what does it mean?
This relatively maverick base mountain tribe, under the leadership of their human patriarch, can be said to have broken many of the traditions of the orcs in the wasteland.
There is no sign of a core race in their tribe, including almost all orc races. Those low-level orcs who could only be vassal tribes in other orc tribes, but in the base mountain tribe, they became warriors and the core managers of the tribe.
This is a tribe established by many orc races, in their tribe, there is no distinction between different orc races, and all races of orcs are equal here!
This is a major event that has broken the social tradition of the wasteland orcs for thousands of years!
All the surrounding tribes looked at this newly rising powerful tribe, and they all had mixed feelings, some orcs were happy, some orcs were resentful, and many more were panicked but didn't know why, and didn't know what to do for a while.
But opinions come down to opinions, and there are still things that need to be done.
The base mountain tribes trade grain with other orc tribes is undoubtedly good news for all orcs.
The communication between the Iron Hammer Tribe and the Base Mountain Tribe was going well, and the human patriarch of the Base Mountain Tribe was very friendly, at least in the opinion of Herbert, the young patriarch of the Iron Hammer Tribe. Since the establishment of trade with the base mountain tribes, the food gap in the tribe for the winter has been quickly replenished, and the appetites of many of the tribe's minotaur strong men who have never eaten enough can also be fed, and the automatic reduction of the tribe that has been carried out every winter in previous years does not need to be carried out, not only the young and strong people do not have to be forced out of the tribe, but even the old people, women and children can be saved from starvation.
This is an event that the Hammer Tribe has never had since its establishment.
Of course, on the other hand, the Hammer tribe quickly ran out of gold for trading, and the Bulls of the Hammer tribe began to decide to exchange labor for food after consultation between the two sides. Hundreds of Boers from the Hammer Tribe came to Base Mountain to mine, strike iron, and even build a city for the Base Mountain Tribe in exchange for valuable food.
Such an exchange, the Iron Hammer tribe is very satisfied. Labor in exchange for food, for the orcs is simply a bargain, in the minds of the orcs who have been starving in this wasteland for thousands of years, there has never been anything more important than food, only this thing, can eat a full stomach, can save lives!
What's more, in the eyes of the Iron Hammer Tribe, in addition to the food accident in exchange for labor, those orcs who go to work in the base mountain tribe are also a huge burden, and when they go to work, they eat the food of the base mountain tribe, and they don't need to consume their own materials at all.
In short, the grain trade between the base mountain and the base mountain can be described as a happy one, and with the grain trade between the two tribes, the relationship between the base mountain tribe and the hammer tribe is getting closer and closer.
Therefore, Old Fox Harvey has been coming to the base mountain tribe very often recently, and as a senior external staff talent in the tribe, no matter what affairs between the two tribes need him to personally take charge. Those tedious trivialities, as well as the calculation of the number of transactions, can only be understood by the Foxes in the wasteland, and the minotaurs are good at working and fighting, but they have never been sensitive to this kind of thing.
As an outsider, all the changes in the base mountain tribe are gradually vivid in Harvey's eyes, and as a rare knowledgeable person in the Hammer Tribe, everything here gradually makes him feel a little shocked......
The base mountain city of the base mountain tribe has been slowly built, the huge silhouette can be seen in the distance of more than ten miles, although the city wall has not yet been built, but the large and small corner towers on the city wall that are mainly used for military purposes have been erected, a total of sixteen, standing on the corners where the various slopes of the city wall intersect, the high spire, full of twenty meters high, overlooking the surroundings, the orcs stand on it, and their sharp eyes are enough to monitor the movements around the base mountain for a hundred miles.
This city of such a scale can have such a scale in such a short period of time, and it is necessary to talk about the merits of the rat people who even Zhang Quan had not expected before.
The rats live very well in the base mountain tribe, at least they are directly given food to eat, which is already an extremely happy treatment for them, the rats themselves have never thought about it, with this kind of treatment, the rejection and contempt of other races in the relative tribe for them, that is all secondary, originally, the rat people have spent their lives like this for generations, hiding in the underground caves, not seeing the light of day, except for their own people, no orcs really treat them.
This kind of happiness also stimulated their sense of responsibility, although it did not make the rats themselves feel that they were really equal to the orcs in other tribes, but when they saw that the other orcs in the tribe were digging the foundation quickly, they stood up, and these rats took over the excavation of the foundation of the city wall after obtaining Zhang Quan's permission, and there were only a few hundred adult ratmen in the tribe, and they were able to dig the foundation faster than the bull-headed people who were several times taller than them.
This really made the Minotaur Gellon, who was in charge of the management of the city, know it, and he didn't know whether he was worried or happy.
No orc race in the wasteland is useless, and this incident reaffirms the old adage. And the rat people, as a result, have also taken root in the base mountain tribes that used to be tall orcs.
