Chapter 11: Before the War

The centaur (House) Gülen slumped nervously down the hillside, holding his most cherished weapon, a modern-day repeater from Earth. This was given to him by his most respected human lord, Lord Zhang Quan. Although it looks a little too delicate and small, in the hands of these centaurs with sharp eyes and good at running and shooting, it does not prevent it from being terrifying.

Every centaur in the wasteland is a natural marksman.

The biggest feature of this repeater descended from Master Zhang Quan was its deadly precision.

The creation of the earth's modern industrial society has endowed it with this incomparable characteristic, every pulley, every piece of steel, every alloy steel cable, every fine even the smallest part of its body has been forged to the smallest detail, and together it has become the most perfect work of art in this wasteland.

While its lethality is still somewhat lacking for orcs, its accuracy is undoubtedly trustworthy, especially now that most of them are in the hands of the centaurs, who are born in the wasteland.

In Zhang Quan's tribe, there are not many centaurs now, and there are only about two dozen of them. But now they are all used as the main force.

Speaking of which, I would like to insert a word about the bow and arrow, the weapon that dominated the ancient human warfare on Earth before the humans of Earth entered the age of muskets, is also available in Gaia 6, but in the Northwest Wasteland, this weapon is not prosperous.

On the one hand, the warriors of the orc race are basically composed of strong fighting races, even if they do not rely on armor, the thick skin of their own body alone is far from being able to overcome by the power of primitive bows and arrows. Think about what it's like to besiege a beast on the battlefield with a horde of orcs and shoot at the beast so that it is full of arrows, but it is not killed. This realization Zhang Quan had since he met the jackal dog who almost killed him.

Therefore, on the grassland, there is no shortage of those large beasts, the tendons of these beasts are good materials for making bows and arrows, but since it is of little use in the war between orcs, there are few races willing to take the trouble to learn it, after all, bows and arrows, whether it is to make or maintain, is a rather time-consuming and laborious work. The input is very large, but there is no output, this kind of thing, even the orcs who are not very bright in their heads are unwilling to do.

Compared with the use of bows and arrows, or weapons such as tomahawks and hammers are more in line with the habits of the hot-blooded orcs, and only the Centaur Berger and other minorities in the steppe have been circulating the habit of using it, which is very different from the humans and elves in the south.

This is also the reason why on the front line of the fight against humans in the southeast of Hailar Fort, I have always liked to recruit a large number of centaurs, a non-strong fighting race, which is useless to orcs, it does not mean that it is useless to humans, even if humans wear armor, they cannot compare with the rough skin and flesh of orcs. Centaur bows and arrows are not good for orcs, but they are accurate at shooting humans, and in the war against humans, centaur archers are even used as the main force.

So there is a reason why Zhang Quan is in the tribe and recruits centaurs as the main combat force.

When young Gülen was told that he had become a warrior under the lord's command, he was thrilled. Unlike many people around him who came here just to eat, and only regarded Zhang Quan as those companions like those lords and lords in the tribe in the past, Gülen felt that Zhang Quan was different from those people from one day.

This tribe called "Base" is also very different.

Although Zhang Quan is a human, he is by no means as greedy and fierce as the legendary humans in the tribe, but he has paid a lot for the orcs here. I remember that when Glenn first came to this tribe, he and his mother and younger siblings had just been driven out of the tribe, and as the old and weak women and children of the centaur clan, when winter came, they were going to be taken out and sold, and when the old men of the clan drove them out, they didn't even have a bite to eat.

In this way, when he was hungry, he picked up the snow and gnawed the grass roots under the snow, and when he was thirsty, he chewed a few mouthfuls of the ice and snow on the ground, and within a few days, the poor mother was starved to death, and he dragged his brothers and sisters, and struggled step by step to the vicinity of the base mountain. It was the tribe that gave itself a second life, fed itself again and given a chance to become a glorious centaur warrior.

This kind of experience has been shared by almost every stray orc who came here, and the orcs who came here have lost all their relatives and hopes, and have become the kind of people whose fire of life will be extinguished at any time. Only in the base mountain tribe did the big guys find their sense of home again.

In this tribe, no one is on top, no one gives them a blank eye, and everyone in the tribe, including the old people who established this tribe with the lords, are all poor orcs in the wasteland, and naturally there is no bad habit of the superiors who like to oppress people.

Lord Lord is a good man and a great benefactor to all wandering orcs.

Not to mention anything else, the mere fact that he can provide food for the poor orcs to continue his life at his own expense is grateful, and it is worth the orcs to give him his life. All the races on the Big 6 know how difficult it is to be able to eat enough this winter, the orcs in the wasteland are cheap, in the past, the human merchants of Hailar Fort paid a few iron tools, they could buy the loyalty of an orc, and follow them to the human world to go in the water and fire, and never regret the sword and fire for a lifetime. And even more so now?

He Gülen is not afraid, he is not afraid to fight hard with those big people, especially after the lord saves his dying brother and sister with precious food, and gives his family a new hope.

He was very dissatisfied with his timid and fearful partners, and he fought hard, so what was there to fear? The orcs of the wasteland are never afraid of dying in battle, but of the endless tormenting hunger.

Just like the lord said, those Pigs are just two eyes and two hands, and they will die if they fall off their heads, what is there to fear. For the sake of the lord, for the sake of his own family, and for the protection of everyone's new tribe called the base. Even if he fights the most ferocious of those orcs, the strongest fighting race, Ryan Tiger, he is not afraid!

Holding the treasure crossbow given by the lord in his hand, he was confident that in the blink of an eye, he could shoot the enemy's eyes. It was the most vulnerable part of the orc's body, and even a short crossbow bolt was just as deadly.

The young centaur couldn't help but shudder slightly as he thought about it, and he and his friends crouched on the slope behind the base, anxiously waiting for the first battle of their lives.

……

Zhang Quan also lay down here, carefully observing the movement below. Ever since he had suddenly roared and persuaded his men the other day, he had arranged this battle with the modest experience he had learned in his life.

The group of orcs under his command are obviously honest people at the bottom, their personalities are not strong, and they have not received any training from soldiers, so it is unrealistic to want them to suddenly become brave and take the initiative to fight the enemy face to face with them. Even if he himself has no combat experience, he knows this.

The first battle of these newcomers can only rely on outwitting, making the most of the enemy's unguarded heart.

Weapons are easy to solve, it is a war of cold weapons, Zhang Quan believes that it is these alloy tools that he has under his hands, it is a very good quality weapon, although it is not sharp, but it is better than the large amount of heavy weapons, hammers and shovels or something, this is the most suitable weapon for the working people.

The enemy he faced was not very strong, but he was a third-rate force in the wasteland, and he only dared to oppress the good and powerful indigenous land snakes in a small area in the northwest corner of the wasteland. This kind of guy like the three deflated people will not have too high combat effectiveness. There will be no experience in regular combat. He felt he could handle it.

So he didn't say anything about hard resistance, but just asked old Kate and them to pass the word back and forth with the Pigs Alliance, dragging them not softly or hard, and sure enough, the Pigs Alliance did not suspect it, and after sending someone to reprimand it was hard but it didn't work, they finally decided to send troops.

However, due to the weakness of old Kate, the people of the Pigg Alliance did not feel the strength of this side, and after getting the confirmed news that there were only three or four hundred people in the base tribe here, they finally made a wrong judgment.

Three or four hundred orcs, and still stray orcs?

How much combat power can such a group of people have.

You must know that the wandering orcs are the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe, and they will only be driven out to fend for themselves if they can't make a greater contribution to the tribe, and there will be no strong fighting race in this group, nor will there be strong warriors of the tribe, even if such a group of people gathers more, there will be no great threat.

Not to mention, the low-level orcs are born lowly in the eyes of the high-level orcs of the tribe, cowardly, honest, and lowly, this kind of person is born to die in this society of the weak and the strong, and he does not deserve to live at all.

Such a group of people naturally does not make people worry.

The Pige Alliance casually sent a soldier and horse, two hundred well-equipped and powerful soldiers from the Tribal Alliance. In their script, as soon as this soldier and horse came out, it was natural to destroy the so-called base tribe when they arrived in the place, and perhaps, those lowly orcs may not even have to resist.

So this war, Zhang Quan's first battle in this world began in such a state, on one side were more than 300 wandering orcs, of which nearly 400 orcs of the base tribe were scared away by the news of the attack of the Pig Alliance, and they were already all soldiers, and on the other side were 200 soldiers of the local indigenous tribe Pig Alliance.

In the early morning of this day, in the lair of the base tribe, Zhang Quan and his companions received the news of the enemy, and the scout Kenya, who was flying in the air, monitored the enemy's every move early.

Far away, they are coming.
