Chapter 359 [Half-Orc]
There are still a lot of half-orc tribes near the Meliane Forest, and of course the elves of these tribes have collected information, and these things are not secrets to the elves, as soon as He Ping brought it up, he immediately got the storage magic props that stored a large number of half-orc tribe information, and he also learned about the half-orc race for the first time from this information, as well as some nearby half-orc tribes.
The closest orc tribe to the Meliane Forest is the Black Falcon Tribe, and there is the Angry Hammer Tribe a little farther away, these two tribes are not far from the Meliane Forest, if these two tribes join forces, the Noldor Elf Clan is estimated to have not many peaceful days, but fortunately, the relationship between the Black Falcon Tribe and the Raging Hammer Tribe is not good, and it can even be said that it is a mortal enemy, compared to the Noldor Elves, these two Orc tribes are more keen to kill each other.
It is precisely because of this that although these two tribes often come to the Melliane Forest to fight the autumn wind and rush over to plunder, they will definitely not spend a lot of effort to attack the Noldor Elves, because if any of these two tribes shows a little flaw, the other will definitely not mind immediately visiting the base camp of this tribe, if possible, completely destroying, and then taking all the warriors and population, as well as the territory and resources for themselves, is what they want to do most.
And if it's a little farther away, it's the largest orc tribe in this area, the blood axe tribe, the size of a half-orc tribe, the main thing to look at is the total population, especially the total number of warriors and the total number of war lords, the productivity of the half-orcs is very low, although there is also agriculture and animal husbandry, but the yield is very low, far from enough for the people of the tribe to consume, so hunting, and robbery have become the most commonly used methods of obtaining food.
And whether it is hunting, or looting, force is very necessary, goblins can only be used as cannon fodder, there is not much combat effectiveness, so the main combat power is not weak, and a large number of half-orc warriors, war lords as commanders and high-end combat power, is also very important, as for trolls and shamans, although they are very important, but they are a bit of a sense that can be encountered but not sought.
Shamans do not directly participate in the war, although in the battle, the role of shamans is not small, and sometimes they can even play a key role, and the number of shamans also determines the number of Horcruxes in a half-orc tribe, and Horcruxes are things that can directly determine combat effectiveness, but, after all, shamans do not participate in fighting, and when facing a tribe, simple-minded half-orcs are still accustomed to judging the opponent's combat effectiveness from the number of opponents' warriors and war lords.
As for the trolls, they are actually not treated well by the half-orc tribe, because the trolls don't have much sense, they can only be regarded as beasts, and it is difficult to control, and if they don't get it right, they will hurt their own people, and the trolls have a lot of food, if a tribe raises too many trolls, then it is easy to be directly dragged down by these big stomachs, so most of the half-orc tribes will deliberately control the number of trolls, only keep a few, and some smaller tribes don't even keep trolls at all.
Therefore, as the largest half-orc tribe in this area, the Blood Axe Tribe has the largest number of warriors and war lords, and they also have a very large number of wolf warrior mounts, so there are also a lot of wolf knights, on relatively flat terrain, the wolf knights who come and go like the wind and a large number of wolf knights are the most powerful troops, even if the number of opponents is larger, and they have shamans and war lords, many times they are not the opponents of wolf knights.
In comparison, in the two tribes of Black Falcon and Fury Hammer, whether it is the number of conventional combat power such as half-orc warriors and wolf knights, or the number of high-end combat power such as war lords, shamans and trolls, it is much less than that of the blood axe tribe, and even the number of goblins is much worse, although the goblins do not have much combat power, and can only rush to the front as cannon fodder when fighting, but in the half-orc tribe, goblins are an important labor force, and half-orc warriors usually have to train to maintain combat effectiveness, And all the work has to be done by goblins.
It can be said that the goblins are also quite pitiful, not only do they have no status in the orc tribe at all, they need to bear high-intensity labor, and they can only get a minimum of food, just like the slaves of other half-orcs, and they also have to act as cannon fodder when fighting, consume the quantity to reduce the consumption of food, and ensure the survival of the half-orc warriors as much as possible, but the goblins are used to such a status, and whether it is force or intelligence, the goblins are much lower than the half-orcs, It can be said that they did not have such a concept of rebellion at all.
In addition to the Blood Axe, Black Falcon, and Fury Hammer, there are many orc tribes near the Melione Forest, but many of them are very small tribes, in fact, in the whole world, among all the orc tribes, the big tribes are only a handful of them, and the vast majority of the orc tribes are actually not very large, and some can't even get together decent troops, there are no shamans and trolls, no war lords, not even wolf knights, even chiefs, It's just a tougher orc warrior.
Most of these orc tribes live in the cracks, in the case of insufficient food, these miniature half-orc tribes simply do not have enough combat power to loot, so they can only hunt to survive, and even if they are hunting, if they encounter a slightly stronger demonic beast, there may be casualties, so when there is not much food, there will be starving orcs in these half-orc tribes.
And their biggest enemy is actually not hunger and monsters, but other larger orc tribes, if they show any flaws, they will definitely be attacked by other orc tribes, if they are broken and annexed by other half-orc tribes, such as elderly orcs, as well as goblins and trolls and other difficult to control or too weak in combat, will be killed directly, and the victor will only bring the strong warriors back and merge them into their own tribe.
And if you want not to be annexed, you must be vigilant, do not show flaws, but also show strong combat effectiveness, after all, the larger tribes are not completely without enemies, and they themselves must also pay attention not to be attacked by other tribes, so as long as these tribes think that the loss caused by attacking one tribe will expose their flaws, so that other tribes can seize the opportunity to attack themselves, then they can keep the tribe from being annexed.
Therefore, the various tribes of the half-orcs can be said to maintain a very dangerous balance, usually everyone is just a small fight, and if there is a fight, the past will pass, and they will not go to other people's homes to make trouble, but once there is a major event that may break the balance, such as the death of the chief of a certain tribe, or the death of a large number of warriors when attacking the elves to hunt Warcraft, or something wrong with the high-end combat power, then that place will soon fall into chaos.
Attacks against each other will become commonplace, and this kind of chaos will also spread to other orc tribes around, although the intensity of the chaos will gradually decrease with the spread, and finally calm down completely after spreading to a certain extent, but this area that is in chaos will really become a bloody battlefield, and the words such as rivers of blood are not an exaggeration at all, and every time after such chaos, there are many tribal coats of arms that disappear completely.
Some small tribes will disappear, some large tribes will also disappear or decline, of course, it is also possible that small tribes will grow, and large tribes may also become stronger, and the power of the half-orc tribes in the entire region will be reshuffled, until all the half-orc tribes are unable to continue to expand, the chaos will stop, which means that the elves will not participate in the civil war of the half-orcs, if the elves take the opportunity to attack, maybe the half-orcs may really disappear from this world!
