CHAPTER XXII
After defeating the Pige Alliance, and relying on the grain trade to connect with the Iron Hammer Tribe, the strategic situation around the base mountain tribe reached the most harmonious state for a while, and the tribe finally had time to relax in addition to building cities and mining. Zhang Quan led the orcs in the tribe to bury his head for so long, and finally had the opportunity to find someone to do something that he had been trying to free up since he entered this world.
Base Mountain, in the entire orc wasteland, should be located in the northwest corner, this is Zhang Quan summed up after synthesizing the views of many orcs under his command, although this wasteland so far Zhang Quan still can't guess its total area from the accounts of his orcs, but there is no doubt that it is very large, I am afraid that the area of the entire Siberia on the earth is roughly the same, or even larger.
And the base mountain, this small hill, but it is not without origin, it should be a very small branch of the despair mountain range further north to spread out of the wasteland, this despair mountain, well, in fact, according to the custom, should be called a mountain range, across the north of the wasteland, the main vein is thousands of kilometers, separating the wasteland from the more terrible Arctic Ocean further north, protecting the orcs on the wasteland from the cold of the more north, and in the southeast, there is also such a tall Hengduan mountain range, Between the orcs and the warmer 6 inhabited by humans further south, the Great 6 became a moat.
In addition to the desperate mountains in the north and the Hengduan Mountains in the southeast, the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the endless forests in the south, the masters of the forests, the southern elves, and the orcs are also famous for thousands of years in the history of the Great 6.
It can be seen that the orcs are undoubtedly outcasts in Gaia 6, and the terrain of the 6 days has isolated the orcs in the Orc Wasteland, the most difficult position of the Big 6.
After the tribe had grown and finally had leisure and free time, Zhang Quan ordered the tribe's best runners, the centaurs and the most flying scouts, to investigate the geography around the tribe.
Although it is a cold winter now, and there is snow everywhere, it can't stop the footsteps of the orcs who are born with rough skin and thick flesh, as long as there are enough logistical supplies, these guys dare to break through to the ends of the earth.
One of the reasons why the Despair Mountains are called Despair Mountains is that they are incomparably tall, at the northern end, on the coastline of Gaia 6, the Despair Mountains are the pinnacle of the entire surface height of the Great 6: even if the horizon of the wasteland is used as a benchmark, the Desperate Mountains can still be thousands of meters higher on average, and the birds here are difficult to fly, and the snow is covered all year round. Even Berg could not brave the terrible cold of the mountain heights to cross the mountain.
So the exploration team turned to the west, the reason why it went west was that the base mountain tribe was located in the most remote and cold northwest corner of the wasteland, and a large area of relatively warm places in the east and south were in the hands of the powerful big tribes of the orcs. Thoroughly consolidate the foundation of the rear.
This area is the coldest and most remote area in the wasteland, there are almost no tribes left, and the remaining poor stray orcs are the objects of the "food policy" united front of the base mountain tribes, and the actions of the tribe at this stage are to consolidate, expand, and encroach.
The exploration team went west along the Desperate Mountains, until they reached the seaside, opposite the Atlantic Ocean, on the coastline here, the gap in the Desperate Mountains is the terrifying cold current in the Arctic Ocean along the seaside bypassing the high mountains and invading the orc wasteland.
This continued until 400 kilometers south, when it abated slightly.
The topography of the coastline is suddenly retracted here, forming an inward depression, and becoming a very large natural harbor called Riopat's Bay, where the warm current formed at the Atlantic equator every year travels north along the coastline, and meets six places in the north at the harbor to form a backflow, which brings warm and moist air to the land, and the cold current of the Arctic Ocean southward is also reduced here, and it no longer has any power.
The confluence of warm currents and cold currents has formed a special microclimate here, not only the nearby sea water is rich in aquatic products, and various marine fish resources are abundant, but even the climate on the shore is much better, no longer so cold, and the abundant rain irrigates the land, so that the land on the shore can not only meet the needs of planting, but even breed a small area of forest of considerable scale, and there are faintly some warm and humid shadows of the southern big 6.
Such a good place naturally has an owner, the leopard people, another powerful branch of this cat people family, in addition to the two giant branches of Ryan and Tiger, is the ruler here.
The Leopard People, in the history of the Orcs, are said to have been strong enough to challenge the dominance of Ryan and Tiger, but were eventually expelled by the combined efforts of the two tribes, from the political center of the wasteland to the edge, and finally found their breeding habitat in Riopat's Bay.
Although the leopard people were strangled by the joint efforts of Ryan and Tiger in the wasteland, the population loss **, almost to the verge of extinction, but it is not something that the orc natives of other races here in the northwest corner of the wasteland can resist, and the most comfortable place in the northwest corner of the wasteland is naturally occupied by this earth overlord.
And it's not just here, from the coastline of thousands of kilometers below Riopat's Bay, the wasteland, to the southernmost Elven Forest, are all places where the Atlantic Warm Current passes, and the fertile land is the sphere of influence of the leopard people.
Back then, after the collapse of the Minotaur Empire, the heroes of the wasteland dominated the wilderness, and the orc races who worked hard to strangle the leopard people to the point of extinction would never have imagined that the leopard people, who were far away from the central position of the government, would find such a good place on the edge of the wasteland, and after decades of recuperation, they would have the momentum of rising again.
Having such a strong neighbor, although the distance is still relatively far, but it also aroused Zhang Quan's full vigilance, and after finding out the specific situation here, he ordered the exploration team to return immediately, not to attract the attention of the leopard people.
Since organizing this exploration, which lasted for nearly half a month, Zhang Quan has a certain understanding of his own forces and the surrounding situation, from 700 kilometers west of the base mountain tribe to the coastline, 300 kilometers north to the desperate mountains, this area of about 200,000 square kilometers was printed out by him with computer cartography for his own reference and that of the generals in the tribe.
This land, there are about 100,000 orcs of various races, and it is the closest place to the northwest and the coldest climate in the entire wasteland.
But now, this land will be the base mountain tribe for a long time to gradually expand and occupy the place, this land, a large area of terrain, water and soil, power distribution, this kind of exploration team brought detailed and specific information so that Zhang Quan has a macro grasp, in general, the current base mountain tribe is in a strategic situation is still safe, there is no real orc tribe around can threaten him.
But how should the tribe develop in the future, and where should it be prioritized? Zhang Quan is like a player of a specific and micro strategy game on the earth at this moment, his vision is getting bigger and bigger, and he begins to look around, stretching out his tentacles to snoop, and at the same time, the overall strategic thinking in his mind is becoming clearer and clearer.
In the evening, the innermost room in the cave of the base mountain, the room is not high, only more than two meters and less than three meters, it is difficult for the minotaur and Bill to squeeze in, this is the most comfortable house in the tribe where Zhang Quan, a human habit, lives.
On the wall, a newly drawn schematic diagram of the shape of a wasteland hangs on it, and there are traces of Zhang Quan's modifications on it with a pencil, and below the schematic diagram, a simple wire bed is placed on it, and a simple futon is spread on it, which is Zhang Quan's bed and his usual office.
At this moment, Zhang Quan was already asleep, the door of the bedroom was guarded by two loyal Doug guards, and at the end of the bedroom, there was a wormhole door opened by the time shuttle, still with that faint blue light, and the ore conveyor belt in the middle of the house was still rumbling through it, but it could not wake up the owner who had already adapted to the environment.
Zhang Quan, who was asleep, and the two guards didn't notice that the time shuttle that Zhang Quan put at the head of the bed was suddenly lit up, flashing countless pictures and numbers like a screen, and the laser shot into the middle of the house, forming a screen, and another beam of light shone on Zhang Quan's body, flashing and dimming, flashing and dimming for a long time......
