"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 creators 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 they 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 although the war between the orcs often has great casualties, most of these casualties are soldiers on the battlefield, and the old and young women and children in the rear are rarely injured. The defeated tribes either left their pastures and moved elsewhere under the protection of the remaining warriors, or were simply annexed by the victors and became part of the victors. Pannis interjected after Lina's reading ended, explaining for the orcs: "In the past thousand years, due to the increasing number of tribes that the steppe tribal alliance can command, the orcs rarely start a foreign war in the form of a tribe alone, and if a war is waged abroad, it will be a large-scale 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 know that there is no record of this battle in history." Including when he studied at the Knight Academy, it is not mentioned in the General History of 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. Both the orcs and the elves themselves were too embarrassed to mention it. Pannis said with a strange expression: "As for the general history of the war, there is nothing to learn from in this war, and it is a common shame of the two races, for the sake of both sides." It's 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 her thigh. Holding back a smile: "I have to say, it's really interesting." ”

"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 can a war be described as ridiculous and funny. ”

"Elves and orcs are feuding, 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. In this context, it is inconceivable that the two sides can be friendly and harmonious, and it is very 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 a certain elf, and the two sides were ready to have a large-scale 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, looking at the elves, although the Lin Wei are all super powerful gold-level troops, and the chances of winning against the orcs' troops are not low, but due to the elves' long growth period, the loss of any soldier of the army 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. He seemed to be sympathetic and said: "During the three-month war, the casualties on both sides did not exceed a hundred, and more than half of them were injured by the spirit of the qi sick guide because they could understand the other party's language. 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? Vivian said weakly: "If you want to provoke the other party, you can explain that you came to your own favorable location to fight a decisive battle, 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 irresponsibly, and continued: "Until the Elven Court and the Ancestral Temple of the Orcs really can't stand this farce anymore. The supreme shaman of the Temple of the Ancestors and the previous elven queen of the Elven Court meet in a decisive battle in the middle of the battlefield. Since the battle took place in the Innate Spiritual Realm, no one knew how the battle was going on, only that half an hour after the two disappeared, they appeared at the same time, and there was no damage on either side, not even their clothes were damaged, and a few demigods of other races who were bored and ran to watch seemed to see through something outside the realm, and they all covered their faces and left with strange expressions. After the battle, it is said that the elves had a slight advantage, so the elves came forward to apologize for the destruction of the ancestors' relics. He also said that he would severely punish the perpetrator and confine him to the Lost Forest for a hundred years. At the same time, the orcs also expressed their understanding of this, and welcomed the elves to continue to operate in the orc grassland, and the war would not affect the normal communication and trade between the two sides. This farce is over. ”

"Huh. Heh, heh. Lina laughed dryly, tugging at her long silver hair, gritting her teeth, and said, "Give me back my curiosity, bastard." It's a shame that I'm so 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 his shoulders and said leisurely: "Maybe the supreme shaman covets the beauty of the queen, and maybe he will 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." ”

"However, although the war with the elves is only a farce, the three major battles between orcs and humanoids in more than four hundred years are real bloody battles. Instead of continuing to make up ambiguous stories, Pannis continued: "At that time, due to some vices of humans, humans were hostile to all other races, including orcs, so when the war broke out, the other races took a wait-and-see attitude, and no one sided with 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......)
