IV Orc Slayer Chapter 50 Orc Slayer I
(Thanks to Huang Miao, the God of Redemption, and the Poor Dao for their support and reward!)
If it was a normal situation, after losing nearly half of the advance clansmen, the shaman priests in the rear of the orcs would naturally be able to detect that something was wrong. However, because the orcs who were eliminated last time were scattered, their soul fragments were harvested by Donald little by little, and they did not return to the beast god totem. Moreover, the battlefield is relatively far away from the large army, so the orc army is still ignorant of the loss of the vanguard for the time being.
It's not that the orcs are really so ignorant and have no military experience at all, but because every time they invade human territory, the other party relies on strong fortress buildings to defend against the orc army, and there is not much action to go out of the city to meet the attack, and from the perspective of the strong, they are naturally used to not worrying about the vanguards.
It wasn't until the orc leaders sent a team of 100 pioneers to explore the way, but when the large army passed by the ambush site soon after, they found a mess of battle scenes and headless corpses of the same kind, which made the orc leaders very angry.
"Damn humans, only cowards who know about sneak attacks! Check me out, and I must find the guys who sneak attack!"
As the leader of the three-tribe alliance, Prince Kanzi ordered that the identity of the murderer must be thoroughly investigated.
This time, the three orc tribes invaded the human kingdom of Selt, which had rarely been targeted before, and it was actually caused by the leader of the coalition, Prince Kanzi.
Kanzi was born in the head of a cow in one of the several major tribes of orcs, and as the son of a chieftain, his status was naturally noble. But this prince of Kanzi is not the eldest son of the chief, and there is an excellent brother above, so he has no position as the heir of the tribe, at most after his brother ascends the throne, he will be a general with troops.
In the relatively primitive orc tribe, there is no aristocratic feudal system in human society, not to mention the situation that in the modern world where Donald lived in his previous life, he can change jobs casually if he has the ability!
Therefore, if Kanzi wants to control the tribe, there is only one way to rebel, but this kind of behavior is not successful, you must know that the punishment of traitors by the orc tribe is very barbaric and cruel. Although Kanzi has ambitions, he has no choice but to lack his own strength, and once he rebels, he will definitely be sent to death.
Fortunately, Kanzi's father loved this young son very much, and gave him ownership of the three small tribes of the vassal tribes under his control, hoping that he would be able to live a stable and prosperous life after his brother ascended the throne.
However, with the military power in hand, Kanzi's ambition gradually swelled again, and with the little force he mastered, it was undoubtedly an egg to fight against the entire tribe, but when Zhengzhi invaded human territory once a year to loot supplies, Kanzi found a new way out.
That is, to seize a piece of human territory, move there with his own tribe, and develop into a new tribe, and he himself is the leader of this tribe. This is an act that is allowed and rewarded by the Orc Tribal Alliance, and the priests, led by the Great Shaman, may also look at it differently as an orc hero.
Whenever he thought of this result, Canzi would wake up laughing when he slept.
In Kanzi's impression, human beings are all weak and invulnerable to the wind, and they can plunder and enslave at will, and with the combined army of his three tribes, it is more than enough to conquer half of the kingdom's land. However, it was inevitable that the forces of other tribes would compete with him, so he chose the Northland Celtic Kingdom, which had a difficult road and had always been rarely cared for, and only once in a few years would a tribe go to plunder it.
It's not that this orc prince didn't think that since humans are so weak, how could the great orcs be driven by humans to the bitter cold and barren Northwest Wasteland?
The reason it could think of was that although the human race was weak, their true gods were very strong and numerous, and the great beast gods were no match for them.
However, as long as the orcs did not attack in a big way, the human gods would not care about losing the territory of one or two kingdoms. That's why Canzi came up with such an idea.
This kind of thinking is also the psychology of most orcs, and it is actually the result of years of indoctrination by the orc leadership under the instruction of the orc sages led by the great shaman.
After all, the defeat of the orcs is an indisputable fact, and if the whole truth is told to the clansmen, then their morale will undoubtedly be severely hit, so the day when the orcs will be destroyed is not far off.
It was with the support of this false information that the orcs were able to continue to thrive in the barren land of the northwest of the continent, and it also gave Prince Kanzi infinite confidence that he could lead the orc alliance to conquer a human kingdom. Therefore, it concealed its true intentions, and only used the pretext of robbing the rich territory of mankind to mobilize the patriarchs of the three small tribes to lead the strongest adult warriors, and also recruited a group of elite soldiers from its own tribe to march towards the kingdom of Celt.
Otherwise, the old shaman who came with the army would have stopped Kanzi's death.
After the arduous trek, as they got closer to human territory, the emotions of the orcs became more and more excited, as if the warehouses were filled with sacks of grain and the undefended human village was already in front of them!
However, just when they arrived at the human border fortress with one day to go, the orc soldiers were slaughtered, and they were only a meal away from the army, which made Prince Kanzi, who was bent on building a great cause, very angry.
After the analysis of the old shaman who accompanied the army, it seemed that the number of ambushes was not large, and the battle was fierce and short, and it only lasted for a pot of wine at most, and hundreds of orc soldiers were wiped out. It is impossible for humans to have such a powerful force, this is the most certain idea in the hearts of the orc leaders.
The old shaman who accompanied the army was a shaman priest with the peak strength of bronze, and under the augmentation of the beast god totem, he was able to exert the strength of the silver rank, and as a member of the elders, his status among the orcs was more important than that of the patriarch of the ordinary tribe.
The old shaman vaguely noticed something, and after consulting with Prince Kanzi, he decided to temporarily halt the advance of the army, and first sent a young black iron shaman priest with fifty powerful orc elites to the front to investigate the enemy's situation.
Dozens of elites, who were a head taller than ordinary orcs, separated from the large army, marched in the direction of the human fortress with great momentum.
When Donald spotted the team, he immediately abandoned his original plan to return to the fortress to hand in the mission, and instead laid layers of traps in the dense forest, waiting for the arrival of his opponent.
"The results of harvesting more than 200 orc pioneers with the power of one person are undoubtedly enough to shock those nobles in the fortress, but these exploits can only allow him to receive some nominal rewards, which is far from a knight's territory!"
Besides, he didn't meet the real orc elite, and Donald still had some regrets.
You must know that killing orcs is not only for military merit, but more importantly, for the purpose of collecting soul fragments. With enough soul power, he can permanently summon an armed force that is truly loyal to him, and for this reason, he will not hesitate to give up this opportunity to obtain a fief.
After all, there is always a chance to establish war exploits in the future, and the soul power is only available but undesirable because of the restrictions of the gods in this world! What's more, killing orcs and obtaining war merits are basically the same thing, and the results of each other do not affect each other, killing enough orcs can not only obtain soul power, but also be able to make more war exploits.
Originally, Donald was a little disappointed that he had to leave, but he didn't expect the orcs to send soldiers to leave the army again, which couldn't help but make him happy, especially when he observed from a distance in the owl perspective that there was a figure in the orc team that was relatively small, holding a wooden staff, wearing a wide robe, and a necklace composed of three monster skulls hanging on his chest.
