Chapter Seventy-Five: After the War

Walter's victory in the first battle was an unprecedented victory for his orcs. However, for Zhang Quan, who has a deep understanding of the power in his hands, has successfully climbed to a new peak in his personal mentality, and has been able to calm down and consider things, it is a bit lackluster; this is a victory in science and technology, tactics, and military thinking, but it is impossible to win in the commander's command ability.

The outcome of this battle was predestined from the beginning, and there was really nothing to be happy about. But after this battle was completed, with such a large piece of land and control of so many orcs, he could finally add a more lofty position to his title of patriarch - lord.

It took a long time for the results of the battle to be sorted out, and as soon as Zhang Quan finished the battle, he found himself buried in all kinds of affairs.

The most important takeaway for Base Mountain is the land around Walter, and the orcs on it. The destruction of the Talon is a foregone conclusion, even if the Leopard Tribal Alliance gathers a large army to find it, most of the hundreds of thousands of orcs in this fertile land will be swallowed by the base mountain.

The fate of the defeated is to be slaughtered, which has been an iron law of the wasteland for thousands of years. The orcs of the hundreds of thousands of vassal tribes of the Talon tribe in this land should have already realized this, and they didn't have much choice. Fleeing south with the crowd means that they will lose the land where they live, and staying here is also a vassal for others, but with a different master. These orcs, being vassals of man, are in exchange for the protection of safety at the cost of personal freedom. As for who this protector was, it was not in the minds of most of the tribes among them.

In the past of this battle, even the Leopard Alliance has suffered heavy losses, one of the four, and most of the 2,000 reinforcements have been lost, and they may still have the ability to organize a more powerful coalition army, but they also have to take into account that there are still elves eyeing them to the south. I believe that they will not raise swords again if they don't lick and mend their wounds in a short time, everyone knows this, and they have formed such a deep hatred for each other, then next time, the two families will no longer be just a battle of this scale, and the next time the two families go to war, it will be a war to the death.

In any case, this battle base mountain can be said to be rich overnight, although some people died and a lot of material and food was spent, but it can be said to be worth the money.

The total population of the tribe will increase from a little over 10,000 to at least a few hundred thousand, with a large number of laborers. And it occupies a large piece of fertile land, which is no longer the small barren piece of land in the northwest that used to be. Such a large territory area, roughly calculated from the map alone, is enough to four or five hundred thousand square kilometers, which is even larger than the land area of Dongying on the earth.

Among them, the land on the west coast centered on Walter is flat and fertile, and it can be said that you can pinch a handful of soil to get water, and if it is developed according to the model of modern agriculture on the earth, it can completely support the agriculture of the future base mountain and become a big granary for the orcs.

Moreover, the huge Riopate Bay by the sea, with its superior geographical environment, is inferred from Zhang Quan's poor geographical knowledge on the earth, and it will be an excellent harbor with extremely rich fishery, whether it is fishing or navigation, it will be an excellent place to start.

The former orc civilization was too backward, in their eyes, the barren Northwest Wasteland was in the eyes of Zhang Quan, who was a modern earthling, but it was a real treasure land, rich in minerals, natural fishing grounds, fertile land, and all the base mountains under these conditions were all owned, and the only thing that needed to be done was not to just watch like the previous orcs, but to quickly organize the orcs under them to develop and utilize these.

But this is a beautiful prospect for the future, for the time being, Zhang Quan can't think about it, and what bothers him the most now is the management of the large group of captives and the vassal tribes in this land.

After the war, entering Walter, the base mountain seized a lot, in addition to a large amount of food supplies, even gold and precious stones and other luxury goods, there are thousands of huge Minotaur gold coins, which is equal to thousands of kilograms of gold. The gold coins minted by the Minotaur Empire back then were good things that weighed more than a kilogram each. Moreover, there are other human empire-style gold coins, which are also quite a lot, as well as a number of magic materials such as magic crystals and magic cores, and the value of these latter items is not within the scope that Zhang Quan can understand now.

The Leopards weren't the poor orc tribes around the former base mountain, but the tribe that had once stepped into the core of the entire orc domination of the wasteland.

But Zhang Quan was not confused by the seizures in front of him, he remembered very clearly what was the most important thing in front of him. He turned the baggage and new barracks of the rear army into regular in the first time, and suddenly brought more than 2,000 available troops, followed by the mercenaries of the originally friendly tribes, seeing that the base mountain tribe was so prosperous, a considerable number of orcs came to defect, so that Zhang Quan had more than 1,000 relatively loyal kobolds and centaurs, and he was all beaten into the barracks, so that the average combat power of the soldiers in the headquarters was bound to decline in the short term.

But he can't help it, if he wants to stabilize the situation at the moment, the first thing he needs is soldiers, a large number of soldiers, he needs a stronger force to support such a huge territory, and those half-hearted tribes will honestly obey.

Therefore, the next thing to do is not to train the troops, but to sort out these vassal tribes that have thrown over with power, most of the vassal tribes under the original Leopard People of the Claw Department have successfully accepted the rule of the base mountain, but there are always a few fools who don't know the times. The new and old soldiers of the base mountain had to be dispatched frequently in a short period of time, and within a few days they had overthrown several such tribes, and the leaders and elders of the tribes were all beheaded, and all the others were reduced to slaves for mining. After some bloody rain, the situation was stabilized.

A month later, the newly conquered tribes around Walter were cleared up, and the new base mountain included seventeen new vassal tribes, including five tribes of kobolds, three tribes of centaurs, four tribes of sheepheads, one tribe of cat people, and four tribes of Pigs, with a total population of about 130,000 low-level orcs and about 200,000 ratmen. This approximate inventory of tribal strength is also the first time that the orcs have counted the rat population, which can be regarded as a precedent, and it also surprised those poor rat people.

In addition to the vassal tribes, the population of the base mountain headquarters has also increased greatly, in addition to the nearly 20,000 rat people, there are more than 50,000 orcs from various tribes, not counting the 30,000 or 40,000 tribes who have been reduced to slaves.

The population size of Base Mountain, if you count the population alone and not the quality, is even enough to compare with the orc tribes in the east, and it has become a tyrant in the northwest wasteland.

After a month of noisy and busy work, old Kate and the others figured out these things and incorporated the entire force into the management system of Base Mountain, but at this time, Zhang Quan was no longer in Walter. Although Walter was designated as the center of the next tribe and was busy with construction work, Zhang Quan still had to return to Base Mountain, for the simple reason that the mines there needed him.
