Chapter 17: The Terran Emissary
The barbarian army was massed in the northern part of the steppe, ready to move. The Great Chiefs of the Orc Clan, who had failed twice in a row, finally began to panic. This time they once again summoned the chiefs of all the beast tribes and called on everyone to unite and face the barbarian crisis together. Even Masibayar and Uyin Bayar of the White Tiger Tribe, who had been killed and killed, rushed over.
The chiefs of those small tribes were also panicked, in their minds, the five tribes were simply behemoths, and they were overwhelmed in the past. Who knew that the two battles with the barbarians were both big defeats and losses. It virtually blurred the terror and power of the barbarians. Now the barbarians are a little demonized in the minds of ordinary orc herdsmen.
What should we do? The barbarians have already occupied a large area in the northern part of the steppe, and they are still eyeing the tiger, and they will attack them at any time. If you don't come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, will you see the entire steppe being swallowed up by the barbarians?
The only two remaining beast soul shamans were gone, and when Haojige went to invite them, he found that the ancestral sacred mountain where the shamans were located was empty, leaving only a large number of ancestral totem poles and several altars. Haojigeri knew that the two shamans were likely to have received a summons from other beast soul shamans, and rushed to join the people on the barbarian side, and also went to the barbarians.
There is no way, even if people are panicking, they must discuss countermeasures.
"I suggest that all the tribal armies of the Orcs unite together. "We have millions of people, and if we recruit all the young warriors, we can have hundreds of thousands, even more than the entire race of barbarians, I don't believe that we can't kill them." β
This was good advice, but the chiefs of the small tribes were equally worried. If they send troops out this time, even if they defeat the barbarians by then, will they still be able to take back their army?
With selfishness, it is naturally impossible to reach an agreement, and the question of the command of hundreds of thousands of troops is also worth considering, after all, no one has such great command experience. Don't make a mess at that time, you haven't defeated the barbarians yet, and you will be in chaos first.
Moreover, after two successive defeats, although the Orcs were able to gather more troops, the problem of weapons began to become prominent. At the beginning, those soldiers were all elites, and they naturally carried enough iron weapons in their hands. But with the defeat and capture, a large number of weapons were scattered, so that now they have insufficient weapons. Is it time for the warriors to fight with the barbarians with wooden forks?
It was noisy and noisy, and a unanimous decision could not be reached, and everyone was a little silent. At this moment, a scout suddenly reported: "Chiefs, Terran...... A messenger from the Terrans has arrived, saying that he wants to meet the chiefs!"
What are they doing here, do they know that the orcs are in a bad situation, and they have come to take advantage of the fire to rob them!
After thinking about it, Haojigeri and the others still let the Terran envoy in, ready to see what he had to say.
The person who came was naturally the emissary of the Norton Kingdom, and directly obeyed the orders of the Minister of Intelligence, Count Lambert. This emissary is called Kevin, a knight, who is in charge of intelligence and rebellion against the orcs on the border, and is very much trusted by Lambert.
Sir Kevin walked into the tent of the orc chiefs, looked left and right, and bowed slightly with a smile: "Norton Kingdom emissary, Kevin has seen all the orc chiefs. β
"Kevin, what are you doing here?" said Haojigeri, and the surrounding orc chiefs all looked fierce and vicious, deliberately intimidating him.
"Haha, our Majesty Norton VII, knowing that the Orcs are not in a good situation right now, specially sent me to provide you with assistance within my ability. After all, we have been neighbors for many years, and if you are in trouble, we Terrans naturally cannot sit idly by. β
"Hmph, you Terrans have such good intentions, how can you help us, are you going to send troops to attack the barbarians together?" Monturak sneered.
"No, no, no, attacking the barbarians is a matter for the beast clan, we have no grudges with the barbarians, so naturally we will not make enemies at will. Sir Kevin shook his head and said, "But our Majesty can provide you with some assistance within his ability, for example...... Weapons!"
Haojigeri and the others glanced at each other, and they were all a little moved. I was still bothered by the weapon thing just now, and now someone is coming to the door, and this kind of good thing?
"Tell me, what conditions do you have?"
"Then you orcs misunderstood us, there are no conditions, as long as the orcs need it, we can immediately provide a large number of weapons, and it is also the standard weapon of the Norton Kingdom army, which is guaranteed to be excellent. Kevin Kaikai talked. He smiled and said, "Of course, if the neighbors of the beast clan are grateful for the kindness of our Norton kingdom and defeat the barbarians in the future, we hope that our two clans can live in harmony and stop fighting and killing." How about being good neighbors?"
Haha, good neighbor, what a joke. If the Orcs don't invade the Terran border, where can they get rich loot?
Of course, the orc chieftains in front of them naturally wouldn't say that, they laughed in unison, and Haojigeri said, "Haha, very good, thank you for the help of the human race." As long as you really provide enough elite weapons and defeat the barbarians when the time comes, we will definitely get along well. β
With that said, the orcs couldn't wait to ask, "How many weapons are you Terrans going to provide us, and when will they be handed over to us?"
"How about enough elite weapons to arm 50,000 men? Sir Kevin said.
Haojigeri shook his head: "No, no, no, it's too little, you'd better provide us with weapons for 100,000 people, we will form a strong army and defeat the barbarians in one fell swoop." You'd even better provide some good armor and bows if you can. β
These were not up to Sir Kevin, and he needed to go back and ask his superiors. But you can provide 50,000 weapons to the orcs first, and the rest can be sent over at any time if possible.
After discussion, the place and time of the transaction were chosen. Sir Kevin took his leave, and went back to ask Earl Lambert and the King.
After sending off the Terran envoys, the spirited orc chieftains began to discuss the issue of sending troops enthusiastically. In the end, it was agreed that the five major tribes would each send 10,000 troops again, and then the other small and medium-sized tribes would jointly send 50,000 troops to form an army of 100,000. As soon as the weapons of the terrans came, they immediately armed themselves and killed the barbarians. This time they must be defeated and banished back to the Tulum Wasteland.
is also ruthless, this time in order to ensure that the enemy is brave to kill, a team of warlords was specially formed, and a recognized warrior was selected as the captain of the warlord, and anyone who dared to escape in advance would be killed on the spot.
The chiefs dispersed and began to prepare for action. But no one knew that some of the chiefs of the small tribes secretly sent people to the northern part of the steppe to report to the barbariansββββ Mao Yisig had been the chief of the big chief for so many years, it was not that he had no means of his own, he had subdued many people from the small tribes, and naturally someone would report information to him.
Therefore, when the orcs began to prepare, the news was also sent to Zhangxiong Gyatso's desk.
