Chapter 197 [Coat of Arms]
Under the explanation of the elves, He Ping gradually understood the seriousness of the situation, the civilization level of the orcs is low, so the connection between the various tribes is not very close, there are nearly a hundred large and small orc tribes distributed on the entire continent, some of these orc tribes are very strong, some are very weak, and the population, land, combat power, and the number of war lords, shamans and trolls are also different.
The relationship between these orc tribes is also very complicated, some are mortal enemies, and even more than elves can pull hatred, the kind that will kill when they meet, if they have the opportunity, they will fight each other, kill each other's warriors, plunder each other's women and children, as well as food and tools, and some will not have wars, but they will not get along with each other, and they will not have a good face with each other, even if the two tribes have a good relationship, at most they will exchange a little material.
The continent is very vast, some places are suitable for farming, some places are suitable for hunting, some places are rich in timber, some places have mines, but when they need some kind of material tribe but there is no such thing, they need to exchange between different tribes of materials, and the orcs are still in a primitive society in terms of trade, there is no currency in the strict sense, in addition to bartering, it is to use such as food, weapons and agricultural tools and even people as hard currency.
Being able to exchange supplies, this is already the most friendly symbol between the orc tribes, if a tribe is in trouble, such as being attacked by other tribes or wild beasts, or encountering a natural disaster that leads to insufficient food reserves, etc., at this time, other tribes are considered friendly if they do not fall into the well, and it is simply whimsical to let other tribes help this tribe tide over the difficulties, and there is absolutely no concept of mutual help in the minds of the orcs.
Therefore, several orc tribes join forces to gather warriors together to wage a war against a certain force, which is absolutely impossible among orcs, because no tribe is willing to help other tribes fight, and no tribe's warriors are willing to fight side by side with other tribes' warriors, and no tribe's warriors are willing to obey the orders of the leaders of other tribes. After annexing the warriors into their own tribe.
But in that case, all the warriors belong to the big tribe, even the war lord can't continue to fight with the coat of arms of his original tribe, and must replace the coat of arms on his armor with the coat of arms of his new owner, and like the situation where He Ping saw the dozen or so war lords hanging three different coats of arms to fight just now, this is absolutely impossible in the common sense that the elves know, because it means that it is not annexation, but real cooperation.
The half-orcs are very powerful, and the elves must also admit that the elves have a higher level of intelligence and civilization, but on this basis, they still have not occupied any upper hand for so many years, which is the best embodiment, and this is still the result of the half-orc tribes fighting separately and never knowing how to cooperate, if the half-orcs learn to cooperate and no longer exclude other tribes, then the survival of the elves will face severe challenges.
"What do the three different coats of arms look like?" After listening to He Ping's words, the elf first reported the matter to the above through the walkie-talkie, and after saying a few words to the walkie-talkie, she turned her head again and asked, "Can you roughly describe it, for example, what is the pattern of the coat of arms composed of?" ”
He Ping raised the sniper rifle again, looked at several war lords with a scope, and said: "The war lords on the far left, the coat of arms is a shield and three spears, a strange bird is painted on the shield surface, and the war lords with the same coat of arms are painted in the middle part, their coat of arms is a double-edged axe, and two fangs, and the most right is different from the previous coat of arms There are only two war lords, the coat of arms is an animal skull with horns and sharp teeth, and there seems to be a flame pattern in the eye socket of the skull. ”
"Shields, spears and strange birds, that should be the Black Falcon Tribe, the closest orc tribe to the Meliane Forest, and it can be regarded as our old neighbor, the double-edged axe with fangs, it should be the Blood Axe Tribe, the largest tribe in this area, and the War Lord is the most, of course, it is estimated that among those trolls, there should be the most belonging to the Blood Axe Tribe, and the horned toothed skulls with flame in the eye sockets? I haven't seen this coat of arms, and the scale doesn't seem to be very large, could it be that it is a small tribe that is not famous? ”
After explaining to He Ping, the elf used the walkie-talkie to report the heraldic pattern described by He Ping and her own speculation to the above, and also asked the above which tribe the coat of arms she had not seen belonged to, but soon, He Ping found that the elf's expression was a little wrong, first stunned, then frowned, after a while, she raised her head and said to He Ping: "The above actually doesn't know where that coat of arms comes from, and I don't know which tribe it belongs to." ”
At this time, the rest of the elves also knew that these orcs were not from the same tribe, and this news caused a small panic among the elves, although it was not the time when there were not so many enemies encountered in previous battles, just like the largest blood axe tribe among the three tribes, it has the ability to mobilize so many warriors as well as war lords and trolls, but this is the first time that the three tribes have joined forces.
He Ping and the elves are not stupid, they quickly thought that when they didn't know that this was a joint effort of the three tribes, they all thought that this was a warrior of the same tribe, if that was the case, then the tribe that sent the troops would not have the strength to make other arrangements, but if it was three tribes, it would be different, not counting the small tribe that didn't know the origin, the Black Fastrel tribe and the Blood Axe tribe alone had more than so many troops, and now this part is here, so where are the remaining troops? Also, since the three tribes can join forces, will there be a fourth and fifth tribe?
Meliane Forest is the base camp of the Noldor Elves, except for some who travel outside or go to study abroad with other Elves, almost all the Noldor Elves live in the Melione Forest, so at this time only a part of the Elf warriors concentrated on the northern border, among the remaining Elf warriors, there is a special area of course not comes, and the mobile troops that can be dispatched are constantly concentrated in this side, therefore, the strength of the Elves has been tilted.
At this moment, the elves' walkie-talkie flashed red again, and soon, the elves' faces became quite ugly, and He Ping also heard from the elves' conversation that a large number of orc troops had also appeared on the northeastern border of the Melliane Forest! Moreover, the number of War Lords, Trolls, and Shamans was no less than the batch in front of He Ping!
