"The Orc Grassland, with a total area of 3.3 million square kilometers, is deep in the hinterland of the Yala Continent, located in the south of the Neville Federation, the Sea Country Casa, and the Sand Country Bartom, bordering the mountain country of Kuran and the southern section of the Feather People Mountains to the east, the uninhabited and terrifying sighing desert to the west, and the Lost Forest, the territory of the elves to the north. In this vast grassland, the creatures of the god of war, the people of the wolf king, and the orcs who believe in gods and ancestors have lived here for generations, and also regard this place as the place where their eternal souls return. "At the edge of the prairie, an ordinary horse-drawn carriage with a canopy was galloping along the border between the Neville Federation and the Orc Meadows, and the carport was tightly tied to keep the cold spring breeze on the prairie out of the carport. From the car came the voice of Lina flipping books and reading aloud: "The orcs on this grassland live together in the form of tribes, the number of tribes on the whole grassland is thousands, and the large tribes are quite large, the fixed grassland alone covers an area of nearly tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the population is as high as hundreds of thousands, but the small tribes are also quite small, there may only be more than 100 people, and they don't even have their own fixed grassland, so they can only use nomadic methods to survive in the cracks of the big tribes." The orcs were not good at farming, and in the Tertiary period, they only lived on animal husbandry and animal husbandry, and when there was a shortage of materials, they relied on plundering the resources of other tribes or races to maintain their own development. In the Quaternary Period, wars gradually became fewer, and the orcs were also affected by the integration and development of various races, and began to communicate normally with other races, and obtained resources no longer by grabbing, but by the trade of bulk resources such as leather, meat, war beasts, and wool. ”

"Orcs are quite belligerent and aggressive, but they are not murderous. They take war as their pleasure and feel the meaning of life from blood and fire, but killing is not their original intention, so the war between the orcs, although there are often heavy casualties, most of these casualties are soldiers on the battlefield, and the old and young women and children in the rear are rarely injured, and the tribes that lost the war either leave their pastures and move to other places under the protection of the remaining warriors, or are directly annexed by the victors and become part of the victors. Pannis interjected after Lina's reading had ended. He explained: "In the past thousand years, due to the increasing number of tribes that the grassland tribal alliance can command, the orcs rarely start a foreign war in the form of a tribe alone, if they start a war with a foreign country. It's a big war for the entire orc race. Battles of this magnitude have only taken place four times in thousands of years, three against humans and once against elves. ”

"Orcs have had a major battle with elves in the past thousand years?" Catherine cried out in surprise, "But I don't know that there is no record of this battle in history, including when I was studying at the Knight Academy." It is not mentioned in the general history of the war. ”

"Eldest sister, it's normal. Vivien said, "This has nothing to do with human beings, and of course there will be no detailed records in human history." I've heard about the war, but I don't think I've talked about it in detail. ”

"But it's war. Catherine frowned and asked puzzledly: "The general history of war has introduced the wars of various races, why did you miss this time?"

"Because this war is so ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, it's a bit exaggerated, and the orcs and elves themselves are embarrassed to mention it. Pannis said with a strange expression: "As for the general history of the war, there is nothing to learn from this war. It is also a common shame of the two races, and for the sake of the face of both sides, it is understandable not to mention it. ”

"Ridiculous?" the three girls stared at Pannis at the same time and asked in unison, "Do you know the inside story?"

"Well, I've heard my friend mention it, elf friend. Pannis stroked the translucent hair of the little banshee dozing on his thigh, and said with a smile: "I have to say, it's really funny." ”

"Let's talk about it. Lina couldn't hide the curiosity in her eyes, and said expectantly: "It's hard for us to understand how a war can be described as ridiculous and funny. ”

"Elves and orcs are feuds. You should know. This is a hatred that has been handed down from the Tertiary Age. The gods of war, who destroy life as a means of victory, and the gods of life, who are responsible for protecting life, are natural enemies, and the two camps have been fighting each other since the age of mythology, and the god war alone has been started six or seven times. Against this background, it would be inconceivable that the two sides could be friendly and harmonious. It's normal to hate each other. Pannith learned Vivien's expression when she lectured at the Academy of Magic, and said with a solemn face: "Although they hate each other, since the beginning of the Quaternary Age, there have been some small-scale frictions between the two sides at most, only nine hundred years ago, because a certain ancestral relic of the orcs was inadvertently destroyed by an elf. The two sides are preparing for a large battle. The Orc Tribal Alliance gathered 300,000 elite troops, which is estimated to be more than one-third of the combat power of the entire orc race, and the elves also dispatched all the 10,000 golden forest guards that the peripheral local troops could use, and the two sides faced off on the edge of the grassland and forest. ”

"It's so annoying, don't learn from me. Vivien didn't bother to stand up, and poked Pennis's toe with her staff as punishment: "This proportion of numbers, tsk." ”

"In this kind of fight, the elf side has a winning rate of about 70%. Catherine still has some research on the science of war, and silently estimated the strength ratio of the two sides: "But this is the result of no other factors interfering, and even if the elves win, it will be a miserable victory, after all, the growth period of the elves is too long, and every warrior is precious, even if he wins, it is no different from losing, unless the elf royal court will send Lin Wei's large army out, but it will be a real race war." ”

"You're right, that's why in the end the war turned into a joke and a farce. Pannis smiled and nodded: "Although the orcs are strong, their rank is not high, and they dare not enter the forest to engage the elves, because the self-generated nature of the forest makes destroying the forest an unrealistic idea, so they can only provoke and curse outside the forest." On the other hand, on the elven side, although the forest guards are all super powerful gold-level troops, and the odds of winning against the orc troops are not low, but due to the long growth period of the elves, the loss of any soldier of any unit will make the commander of the local army feel heartache, so the elves do not dare to enter the grassland, and can only provoke and scold the outside in the forest. As a result, an inter-ethnic general battle turned into a protracted war of scolding that lasted for three months, and the scolding was scolding. ”

"So ......," Catherine groaned, lamenting, "it would be a shame that whoever wrote these things down in a book would also regard him as an enemy." ”

"It's not over yet. Pannis sighed and said with a sympathetic look: "During the three-month war, the number of casualties on both sides did not exceed a hundred. More than half of them are because they can understand each other's language, and they are finally hurt by anger. Yes, you heard it right, both sides are swearing in their own language, and most people have no idea what the other side is talking about. ”

"What the hell are they scolding each other for? Vivien said weakly: "If you want to provoke the other party." Coming to their own favorable location for a decisive battle can also be explained, but neither side understands what is going on? Is it just to gather more than 400,000 people to curse?"

"Who knows? Maybe swearing can be addictive. Pannis spread his hands, guessed very irresponsibly, and continued: "Until the Elven Court and the Orc Ancestral Temple couldn't stand this farce anymore, the Supreme Shaman of the Ancestral Temple and the Elven Queen of the Elven Court met in a decisive battle in the middle of the battlefield. Since the battle takes place in the realm of the inherent mind. So no one knew how the battle was going, only that half an hour after the two disappeared, they appeared at the same time, there was no damage on both sides, not even their clothes were damaged, and a few demigods of other races who were bored and ran to watch seemed to have seen through something outside the field, and they all covered their faces and left with strange expressions. After the war, it is said that the elves have a slight advantage, so the elves apologize for the destruction of the ancestors' relics, and say that they will severely punish the perpetrators and confine him to the Lost Forest for a hundred years. And the orcs also expressed their understanding of this. And the elves are welcome to continue to operate in the orc steppe, and the war will not affect the normal communication and trade between the two sides, etc. This farce is over. ”

"Heh, heh, heh. Lina laughed dryly, tugging at her long silver hair, gritted her teeth and said, "Give me back my curiosity, bastard, it's a shame that I would be curious about such a stupid thing." ”

"You're embarrassed to hear it. Pannis gloated: "At that time, the elf queen and the supreme shaman who participated in the gambling fight on the spot were probably already ashamed and wanted to die, especially since there were a few spectators who were bored and looking for fun. ”

"Hmm, did those two people fight in there? Lina asked reluctantly, "Or did they just go home after chatting for half an hour?"

"Who knows. Pannis shrugged. Said leisurely: "Maybe the highest shaman covets the beauty of the queen, and it is possible to take the opportunity to propose marriage in it, anyway, no one knows, just make it up." ”

"Don't make a fuss. Catherine laughed and said, "How is it possible." ”

"Still. Although the war with the elves was a farce, the three major battles between orcs and humanoids over the past four hundred years were real bloody battles. Instead of continuing to make up ambiguous stories, Pannis continued: "At that time, due to some vices of mankind, mankind was hostile to all other races, including orcs, so when war broke out. The other races have taken a wait-and-see attitude, and no one is on the side of humans. In the three wars, each time the army participated in the war exceeded one million, the number of human armies was large, the orc army was strong in individual soldiers, and the difference in combat power between the two sides was not large, and the result was that every time the blood was killed, hundreds of thousands of people died in vain, but there was almost no change to the territory of the two sides. This stupid war of attrition made the demigods on both sides feel deeply helpless, but they were intimidated by each other, and did not dare to participate in the war themselves until the survival of the race. Hmm, so the last dozen or so demigods on both sides simply pretended not to see it, put the war behind them, and a group of people sat together and drank alcohol. ”

"Hahaha, Pannis, your statement is so funny. Vivien laughed happily and said, "Such a tragic war, how can you say that it is as ridiculous as a child fighting." ”

"Isn't it just a child fighting?" said Pennis silently in a voice that no one could hear, "at least for the demigods." ”

"A couple of professionals. Outside the carport, the voice of a middle-aged man in his forties came in: "I have entered the grassland." (To be continued.) )
