I know that the term 'ogre' is a bit of a rigor, and although they have eaten humans, this race is not a race that feeds on humans. In fact, they don't eat as many humans as a fraction of what orcs eat. As long as you get along with them for a long time, you will find that these big guys are simply cute, and I think they should be called the 'Unicorn Clan'. —Anthropologist Cooper Aus.

The next day, Richie, who was teleported back to the fortress of Amos, felt that the face of the orcs was much more hateful, and he felt a little like the human warriors around him.

"Did the guy who assassinated me find out?"

Victor nodded: "I captured a few prisoners yesterday, and I asked them all clearly." That guy wasn't from the Yellow Sand tribe at all, it was their suzerain, the Yellow Sand tribe, who had come to attack us this year, and only joined the tribe shortly after they came to attack us. I probably know who did it, hmph, some people don't seem to be happy that the Swan family has an heir, these damn rats, I'll settle this account with them. ”

Richie didn't ask, now he didn't even have the qualifications to know who his enemy was, and it would be useless to know if he knew.

"You have a secret pact with the Orc King, do you? Or the Great Chief of the Steelmane Tribe. ”

Victor stared at Richie seriously: "Why do you say that?"

"The orcs are not going south for either resources or food. There must be other reasons for that. Yesterday I watched the way the orcs attacked the city, and honestly, I think it sucks. A military layman like me thinks that if I command them, they will definitely fight better than them, which means that they are simply a rabble, and in fact they are here to die, and who will let them come to die? I think that's the answer to the first test. ”

The old guy seemed to have stolen and looked at other people's wives who had just come back from taking a bath, and asked shyly, "What are you talking about?"

"Quite simply, you should have a pact with the orc leaders to wage war in the name of restoring their ancestral lands, and you will help them deal with disobedient tribes and legends. ”

"And what do you think is the benefit of this agreement for Swan?"

To say this is undoubtedly an acknowledgement.

"I'm a little unsure, train the army so that these arrogant generals don't slack off? Use external wars to divert internal contradictions and make the rule more stable? Or do you dispel the emperor's vigilance and make him think that the external situation of the Swan family is very serious, causing strategic miscalculation? Or else they are doing the same thing, and you also have carrion that you can't cut off yourself and need the other party to deal with it for you. ”

Victor sighed with emotion on Rich's head: "Amazing insight, the civilization you lived in before is really a great place." ”

Richie's words were mostly to the point, the Duke did not think that this was something that a twenty-four-year-old young man could think for himself, and that the essence of this wisdom must be the crystallization of a higher civilization.

"Cut, I'm a comrade in the war. ”

The relationship between the two of the birds' bow and the self-respect of the birds, our ancestors played badly. Classics such as Li Chengliang fattened up Nurhachi, Sima Yi saw Zhuge Liang's poor donkey skills, and the city head sang at the expense of his own reputation, and turned around and withdrew the army...... We don't read books like Ming Wear and Three Kingdoms in vain.

Victor is accustomed to Richie's strange words: "Most of what you said is true, but you guessed wrong. I don't have an agreement with the Great Chief of the Orc South, it's just a tacit understanding between us. You have to remember that in the future, you will be in charge, and many things must not be left on paper, sometimes tacit understanding is enough. ”

Richie nodded, this kind of words and deeds taught him to be as good as he was: "What am I saying wrong?"

The Duke straightened his chest: "The Swan family doesn't have carrion! So it's only the steel-maned chief who wants to cut off the internal problems." Moreover, we haven't paid a penny of taxes to the Orar Empire for more than three hundred years, although the people in the imperial capital have long been used to it, but on the surface, we still have to give an explanation, the orcs attacked, and we suffered a lot of losses is a good excuse. ”

"In other words, Richie is right for all the other reasons?"

Monnie made an exception in the morning, got up early in the morning, and followed. Although this girl said that she didn't care about Victor's opinion on her marriage, she actually understood that after leaving the Swan family, she and Richie would definitely have a hard time, so she came over to find out.

"Uh...... If you don't go to the battlefield, you will never be able to exert all your strength, so you need a little sharpening. If there is no strong enemy, the interior will definitely not be as stable as it is now, as you saw yesterday, because of the war, the people have a strong sense of identity with our family. As for the strategic deception of the people in the imperial capital, this has been going on for hundreds of years, and they are now convinced that we are being dragged south by the orcs, and you want to tell them that we are actually living a good life, and they will only treat us as bragging, which is a typical example of how a lie can become the truth if told a thousand times......"

Without waiting for the old fellow to finish, Monnie picked up and grabbed Victor's beard and roared, "What's the difference between this and what Richie said?!

Victor's beautiful beard was scratched and cut off, but the old guy was very happy, and his smile was actually full of happiness, and strangers would definitely think that he had Alzheimer's disease at first glance: "Hahaha, my little cutie, this is just a joke with you, you see, can't our relationship become very close?"

Dad also seems to have a natural instinct for teasing his daughter.

However, in society, my sister Meng didn't eat this set at all, stretched out her little short leg and kicked Victor: "Don't disgust me, hurry up and open the door to send me back, the old lady is tired and wants to sleep beautifully." ”

The old guy was particularly flattering: "Okay, good girl, you should really rest more, and it's good to go back." ”

Protest!

Lao Tzu was almost done yesterday, why didn't he have this kind of treatment?

At this time, Papacama came over with a huge mace on his shoulder, opened his mouth and shouted: "Monnie, the orcs are about to attack the city, the tribe that came up today is much stronger than the one yesterday, we are going out of the city to fight, I will go into battle in a while, don't you plan to stay and cheer me on?"

Monnie, who has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, will be much more tolerant of honest people like female ogres, and she likes Papacama very much, especially the huge mace on the female ogre's shoulder: "That mallet is the weapon you will use in a moment?"

Papacama waved lightly twice, and the iron guy more than three meters long was like a toothpick in her hand: "Yes." ”

"Isn't that going to be flesh and brains, and you're going to tear the orcs apart?"

The female ogre didn't pay attention to the flash in the eyes of this violent woman at all, and scratched her head embarrassedly: "Sometimes I get excited to fight, and I do." But if you're here, I'll be as careful as possible. ”

"No, no, fight harder, I want to see the heads of the orcs flying in the sky, try to be as beautiful as possible, and I'll applaud you if you fight well." ”

Well, Richie understands this woman. She is chasing the war as an American drama.

Papacama didn't know what 'sick aesthetics' were, and there was no such thing in her concept, she just thought that Monnie had made a pact with her:

"Good!"
