In the Orc Empire, the "half-orcs" are a somewhat awkward group. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike the fantasy novels that Sui Xiong read before crossing over, in this world, the distinction between "orcs" and "half-orcs" is not based on blood, but on faith.

The orcs are all creations or descendants of the orc gods, because of the influence of blood, they are naturally believers in the orc gods, and even under the control of the orc gods in their souls.

This situation is almost unique, although the creator gods of other races also have strong influence, but they definitely cannot reach the point of soul control - for example, the human creator god "Mother Water", his control and influence over human beings is not very high, so he will later die at the hands of the Lord of Radiance.

Because of the influence and control of the soul, the orcs are very religious in their belief in the orc gods. But this situation is not absolute, sometimes, there are orcs who awaken for various reasons and get rid of the soul control of the orc gods - within the orc empire, this situation is called "deterioration", and there are also orcs and hybrids of other races, because the blood concentration is not enough, they are born without the control of the orc gods.

Whether congenital or acquired, once the soul is freed from the control of the orc gods, it is called a half-orc.

In the Orc Empire, the situation of the orcs is not good. Even if their faith is as devout as ever, the orc gods will not respond to them - for the orc gods, believers who are not under their control are not qualified believers, and they treat such believers as farmers look at the weeds on the side of the road. You might want to eat them in times of famine, but they don't usually include them in their recipes.

And for a devout believer, it is a painful thing for faith to be ignored and not received any response.

But that's not the only thing that suffers, the orcs aren't kind to these guys who don't get a response from the gods. Over the years, there have been more than one wave of slaughter of orcs for their purity of faith, each time resulting in the slaughter of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of orcs.

Fortunately, this has not happened in the last one or two hundred years, probably because the eloquent Yunero is secretly controlling public opinion. But even Yunero is not friendly to the orcs, not only does he exploit and oppress them very much in peacetime, but also organizes them into independent armies every time a war breaks out, and carries out the most difficult, dangerous, and meritorious but not very high tasks.

Orcs are not fools, nor are they masochists, so many orcs will change their beliefs and lifestyles after being educated by the cruel reality, leaving their homeland and leaving their homeland.

In the main plane continent, half-orcs are the most common wandering race, these have orc blood, but there is no way to get the creator's response like orcs, and there are the best mercenaries among the dazed wanderers, but there are also the most ferocious bandits.

A small group of powerful orcs, having lost their faith, have made honor their creed in life, and even the proudest knights have to admit their integrity and nobility in what they do. But there are also many powerful orcs who, after the collapse of their faith, completely sink into materialism and degenerate into fierce and cunning bandits, wreaking havoc everywhere.

The orcs, who make up the majority of the population, have little ability, and are neither capable of doing chivalrous deeds, nor capable of doing evil. They lived in a mess, constantly wandering, working, and after saving some money, they continued to wander, looking for a place where they could feel at ease. But the vast majority of these orcs could not find a place to reassure them until they died, and could only grow old in constant wandering, and finally die in poverty.

In general, most orcs are having a hard time, and they are desperate to find a place where they can live and work in peace, or learn something that will help them live in peace.

Recently, the climate of the Orc Empire has not been very good, and although there have been no large-scale natural disasters, the grain harvest has indeed dropped a little. It is said that this is because the new generation of sun gods and human gods have a good relationship with the human gods and deliberately embarrass them, and after the fall of the goddess of harvest, this priesthood has not yet been inherited.

In the past, the orc gods often gave the goddess of harvest a lot of benefits in exchange for the abundance of the orc savannah. It is precisely by relying on this bountiness that the huge number of orc races can be maintained. Since the death of the Harvest Goddess, the abundance could not be bought, and the orc savannah lost its extra abundance, and the population that could be supported naturally dropped greatly.

If it weren't for the fact that a lot of people were killed in the Battle of the Day the Sun Goes Out, and many people were wiped out, I am afraid that the situation of the Orc Empire would be even worse, and the population pressure would be even greater.

When the population pressure is high, there will naturally be a shortage of food, and when there is not enough food, the first thing to go hungry is naturally the orcs.

In recent years, the orcs have been starving, and many have starved to death, and they are living in misery.

Therefore, this time, when I heard that the new technical school in the Northwest Republic does not require tuition, a large number of relatively strong half-orcs followed those merchants who wanted money and their lives through the vast desert and through several canyons in the barren mountains to the Northwest Republic, regardless of the danger.

In the Northwest Republic, they met their fellow countrymen, the orcs who had long settled here.

The Northwest Republic does not discriminate against orcs, Sui Xiong is usually very kind, but he is still quite strict about many issues, one of which is racial discrimination.

This is not a policy that only existed after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but a basic national policy that has been set since Sui Xiong established the Void Mask Church and established the Void Mask Playground. In the Northwest Republic, racial discrimination is a high-voltage line, but anyone who steps on it will be electrocuted to death - this is not a description or a metaphor, the punishment of the Northwest Republic really has "electric punishment", which is inspired by a man surnamed Yang with a very bad reputation on the earth, and the main punishment is those who have problems with their thinking, and racial discrimination is one of the key points.

Over time, everyone's attitude naturally changed.

The current Northwest Republic is home to many orcs. A few of them moved here, but most of them were born and raised here.

Although theoretically the Northwest Republic and the Orc Empire are neighbors, in fact, the two are separated by the world-famous dangerous area "Great Gobi", which is really a moat for ordinary orcs, so over the years, the orcs who have moved here from the Orc Empire dare not say no, but there are very few. Now the orcs of the Northwest Republic have either moved from the Southern Gold Federation, or they are relatives and friends of those orc powerhouses.

Among them, even if they were relatively weak, they had at least been away from home for a while, and they were much stronger mentally than these fellow people who had just come out of the orc empire. In addition, having settled in the Republic for a long time, and being influenced by the open-minded, friendly and positive atmosphere here, the mental outlook is completely different from that of those newcomers.

The difference is even greater among the new generation who were born and raised in the Republic from an early age.

These orcs have never received any education from an age, such as "only the creator of faith is truly happy", and they have never been discriminated against. On the contrary, because of their respective bloodlines, they often have an advantage in a certain aspect of their body, or they are tall and powerful, or they are agile and fast-paced, and they are very good among their peers, so they are also full of self-confidence, filled with a joyful and positive atmosphere, as if the whole person is in a state of high morale.

They stood alongside the recent settlers, and although they were similar in appearance, they were very different in temperament, and they were two completely different races.

"It's only been a few decades that we've gotten results. Sui Xiong was hidden in the air, looking at these two completely different half-orcs, he couldn't help but smile, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment and pride. (To be continued.) )
