Chapter 164: The Only Way
readx;? When the army returned to the Elk Tribe, it was raining lightly, and the rain washed away the blood stains on the gallant warriors. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In that fierce battle last night, the two new armies once again burst out with amazing combat effectiveness and successfully repelled the demonic beast.
However, the orc coalition that served as cannon fodder suffered heavy losses, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses and more than twenty wounded.
This made the four-pronged tail quite complaining, thinking that the little duke was biased and let the orcs go to death, but retained his own strength.
Lin Ye asked it rhetorically, if it was to command the army, how far could it control its losses, and could it further reduce casualties?
The four-pronged tail was speechless.
Whether it's a human soldier or an orc soldier, where there is a war, there must be casualties.
All a good commander can do is win while keeping the damage to a minimum.
On this rainy night, Lin Ye personally walked to the top of the mountain, and the strong orc carried the horn to the top of the mountain, and with his order, the horn sounded.
The long and long sound of horns spread, and the major orc tribes that were under the ravages of the demonic beasts all looked up at the sky at this moment.
Orcs have a way of discerning where they are summoned by the sound of horns.
"That place is in ...... The Elk Tribe? I haven't heard this horn for more than a decade, let's go, it's time for this disaster to be over. "The old orc patriarch gathered his subordinates who were sleeping in the open and braved the increasing rain to move closer to the elk tribe.
Their homes have been destroyed by demonic beasts, and food is scarce.
Every day, soldiers fall in a fight with the beasts.
The old and weak women and children were frightened, and they did not know when such a day would end.
At this time the sound of the trumpet.
Is it hope for them, or is it a deeper catastrophe?
To rush from the complex terrain of the Demon Beast Mountain to the Elk Tribe, these orc elders would take three days at the earliest.
In the past few days, Lin Ye led his soldiers to sweep the demonic beasts nearby.
Defeat all the monsters within a five-kilometer radius to create a safe zone.
The grain convoy from Shuguang Town is also on its way, and will arrive in two days.
The elk tribe accepted more and more orcs, and soon broke through the 5,000 mark, and the camp in the mountains was no longer enough to accommodate these orcs.
The orcs had to camp improvised at the foot of the mountain.
Every morning the strong orcs went to the neighborhood in search of prey, and the women helped to care for the wounded.
Many of these orcs had never seen a human in their lives, and they looked curiously from afar.
There are children who want to approach, but they are all rebuffed by adults.
It wasn't until the food convoy arrived and steamed steaming steamed buns for the orcs that the orcs finally relaxed their vigilance against the humans.
More and more orc guys are asking werewolves and kobolds about humans.
When I heard that humans had built all kinds of factories, everyone could have a job, they could have enough to eat, and they didn't discriminate against orcs.
They were speechless, and they had gathered around every night for the past few days, listening to them with relish, looking at these werewolves and kobold brothers, and they didn't feel a little more envious.
If you can live a stable and well-fed life, who wants to fight against the monsters every day on the mountain?
It wasn't until the night of the fourth day that all the elders of the Demon Beast Mountain finally arrived.
The number of elders was 12, but since 3 had already died, only 9 of them had arrived.
"That's the way it is, so we need to figure out what's going on so we can get the right thing. ”
Lin Ye kept marking on a map.
According to the orc's dictation, he probably figured out the current situation in Warcraft Mountain.
He marked the tribes that had fallen, the tribes that were still fighting alone.
With the exception of more than 20 tribes that are still unclear, the situation is largely clear.
"That's true, but I want to ask, how can we Far Eastern orcs have human involvement in their own household affairs?"
Some elders objected.
It is the elder of the Skunk Tribe and has always been very hostile to humans.
"Housework? Now that the Warcraft Mountain is in chaos like this, and your Skunk Tribe has suffered heavy losses, do you still have to cherish yourself and drive the Duke away regardless of the lives of your tribe's people? ”
The other elder sneered, and the cat man Mengmeng stood behind her and grimaced.
This elder is the patriarch of the Cloud Cat tribe and Mengmeng's mother.
"Hmph, these humans have always only considered their own interests, and he must not have a good heart when he came to our Warcraft Mountain!"
"I don't know if Ann is kind or not, I just know that if it weren't for the help of the Duke, we wouldn't be able to gather in a short time, and it's not certain whether you skunks will survive this winter. The Cloud Cat Patriarch snorted coldly.
"You ......" the skunk patriarch was furious, but there was nothing he could do about her.
The Skunk Tribe and the Cloud Cat Tribe have always been bitter rivals.
Now the Skunk Tribe has suffered heavy losses due to the siege of Warcraft, but the strength of the Cloud Cat Tribe is still well preserved.
"You don't have to quarrel, our orcs in Warcraft Mountain are not unreasonable hillbillies ridiculed by the other two regions, and the Duke sent troops to rescue us, which we are very grateful for. "The old patriarch of the Squirrel Tribe, Gray Man, stood up and said peace.
It is older than the two patriarchs combined, and is said to be in his 90s.
He is the most respected elder of Warcraft Mountain.
With it intervening, the Skunk Patriarch and the Cloud Cat Patriarch were also silent.
"The top priority now is to quell this turmoil in Warcraft Mountain, so this Duke asked the elders, what happened to cause such a large number of Warcraft riots to attack the orcs?"
Lin Ye didn't care about the quarrel of these orcs, on the contrary, the more they argued, the more beneficial it was to him.
This also shows that the attitude of orcs towards humans is not uniform, and it is not a monolith.
Once the situation here is resolved, there will be an opportunity.
"This kind of thing is unique in the entire history of Warcraft Mountain, there are no examples to refer to, but different kinds of Warcraft act at the same time, if you have to say who has this kind of appeal, then there is only one candidate. Gray Man muttered.
"Demonic beasts can still be manipulated by humans?" Lin Ye said in surprise.
"Not a man, a deity, to be exact. ”
"Approximate the existence of gods. Gray Man was afraid that his description was not accurate, added.
"Is there really a god in Warcraft Mountain?, the goddess of the forest?" Lin Ye remembered the song sung by the orcs.
"No, it's not the gods of our orcs, it's the gods of the monsters, the king of the forest. ”
"King of the Forest?" Lin Ye was still a little puzzled.
"In the words of you humans, it is a high-level Warcraft, it is the king of all Warcraft on the entire mountain, and it has lived in the Warcraft Forest in the depths of Warcraft Mountain for hundreds of years, and only it has the ability to call on Warcraft to attack in unison. Gray Man explained.
"But since it's been silent for hundreds of years, why did you suddenly launch an attack this year?"
"I don't know this, it's impossible to defeat all the Warcraft, the only solution is to go deep into the Warcraft Forest, find the King of the Forest, and let it give the order for the Warcraft to evacuate, otherwise the battle in the entire Warcraft Mountain will never end!"
"Do you want to negotiate with the king of the forest? (To be continued.) )
