Chapter 192 [From Small to Large]
Nearly two meters tall, there are two thick bodies of He Ping, who have grown to show fangs, ugly appearance, rough gray skin, knotted muscles like tree roots, bloodthirsty eyes, rough voice, at a glance, you can know the appearance of well-developed limbs and simple minds, this is exactly the half-orcs mentioned by those elves before, looking at these half-orcs, He Ping turned his head speechlessly and looked at the elf who said just now whether he would be a half-orc, and the elf noticed Xia Xingxian's eyes, Embarrassed, he turned his head and pretended not to know anything.
He Ping sighed, turned his head and continued to observe the troops of the half-orcs, the equipment of these half-orcs is very simple, only in the critical parts will there be a little protective gear, and most of the half-orcs are only the most basic leather armor, some are even barefoot, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, the better ones may have an axe or a machete, and the simpler ones are only wooden sticks tied to stones, and even some wooden sticks do not even have stones on them.
However, not all half-orcs are like this, He Ping saw that in addition to most of the poorly equipped half-orcs, there are some very special units in the half-orc army, for example, in the army of half-orcs, there are some taller half-orcs, ordinary half-orcs are already close to two meters tall, and these tall half-orcs are more than two meters five, and these half-orcs are also better equipped, and their whole bodies are wrapped in a set of metal plate armor that is very strong at a glance, and they also wear helmets, The double-edged giant axe and spiked round shield in his hand knew at a glance that it was not a mass-produced product.
And behind the army of orcs, there are some more special units, although they are also half-orcs, but those half-orcs are smaller than ordinary half-orcs, only about one meter five, and relatively thin, these half-orcs wear strange costumes made of animal skins, planks and feathers, wear a strange mask, stand on a large wooden board carried by many half-orcs, and dance a strange dance that I don't know what to do.
At the forefront of the half-orc army, there are a lot of strange "creatures", these creatures are about one meter tall, thinner than the half-orcs who jump the gods behind, although they are very similar to the half-orcs in appearance, but the size and muscles are too different, and the fangs are not exposed, these "mini-orcs" are even more rudimentary, they don't even have armor, they are all wearing simple cloth clothes, and they are either knives or wooden sticks in their hands, and even some of the weapons they hold are obviously more like farm tools, How to look like cannon fodder.
"Do orcs have to be divided into several types?" Of course, He Ping, who was full of curiosity, asked without understanding, and he had only seen a similar scene in the movie in front of him, and it was the first time he had encountered such a close and real scene.
"The concept of orcs actually has a wide meaning." It was Yiluli who answered Xia Xingxian, it seems that among the elves with few men, many young elves have never talked to the other, and Yiluli, who has only spoken a few words to the male elves, is the eldest sister in Meifeier's team, she explained to He Ping: "Broadly speaking, the army on the other side is all composed of half-orcs. ”
"What about in the narrow sense?"
"Strictly speaking, what we mean by orcs is the part of the army with the largest number, those are the warriors among the orcs, and those who are mixed in the orc warriors, with a larger physique and better equipment, are the war lords among the orcs, and they are considered to be the leaders of the higher status among the orcs, and those who dance on the planks are shamans among the orcs, equivalent to the magicians of the orcs."
"And the shortest ones at the front are goblins, goblins are a subspecies of half-orcs, and the status of goblins among the half-orcs who advocate strength is very low, usually like slaves are called, and when they start a war, they are regarded as death squads, resisting fire in front, goblins have low combat effectiveness, but they have strong reproductive ability, there are a lot of them, and the growth rate is fast, so the half-orcs must consume the number of goblins in this way, otherwise the half-orcs will definitely have a famine."
Roar!!!!!
Just when He Ping asked Yiluli for information about the orcs, several loud roars came from the rear of the orc troops, He Ping looked up, and saw a scene that surprised him, more than a dozen giant creatures that were more than ten meters high, like a small building, followed behind the orc army, moving towards this side, these giant creatures are like enlarged versions of the half-orcs, just looking at this head knows that the strength is not small, but these giant creatures have almost no armor, and the weapon is just a tree or a large stone.
"Trolls! So many trolls! It's a bit of a trick. She saw He Ping's questioning eyes, so she explained to He Ping: "There are two subspecies of half-orcs, one big and one small, the small ones are goblins, and the big ones are these trolls, the intelligence of the trolls is lower than that of the stupid half-orcs, but the strength and physical strength are much higher than those of ordinary half-orcs, and they are considered half-orcs war machines!" ”
"A dozen trolls, not too many?"
"The intelligence of the trolls is low, it is useless except for fighting, there is no productive labor in the tribe of the half-orcs, and the amount of food is very large, because the brain is not good, so it is not easy to discipline, in the general half-orc tribe, even if there are five or six trolls, there is not even one in the smaller tribe, if there are too many, the food of the half-orcs is not enough, and once they go crazy, they cannot be suppressed at all, and it is also a disaster for their own tribe."
After listening to Mei Fei'er's introduction, He Ping understood, such a guy is indeed a bit troublesome, he is a good hand when he fights, but he is a burden in peacetime, so the number must be controlled, neither more nor less, it can be used as a sign of whether the tribe is strong, it can exist as a deterrent, but blindly increasing the number of trolls, the result is only to make the tribe decline, for this, He Ping has a full understanding through the Cold War in the main world and the upheaval in Eastern Europe.
Goblins, shamans, half-orc warriors, war lords, trolls, two subspecies, one large and one small, five ladders from small to large, this is all that constitutes the half-orc army, although because of the hatred between the elves and the half-orcs, the elves will inevitably have a little negative emotions when introducing the half-orcs, but He Ping looked at this army, and still very much agreed with the elves' statement that the intelligence level of the half-orcs is not high, and it is difficult to reason and communicate, because in this army, in addition to the poor equipment, He Ping didn't see any war machines!
