Chapter 15: The Son
The orc army in the western part of the tundra defeated the 60,000 elite army of the Terrans in the grasslands of the horse land, and even entered the territory of Odria, occupying a large city of more than 100,000 people. The news seemed to have wings and soon spread throughout the northern tundra. Millions of people of the beast clan were shaken by it, and then they were ecstatic and full of fighting spirit. The Baroque shaman has become a hero in the hearts of countless orcs. Those young orcs who were not willing to be lonely and whose blood had not yet been extinguished, began to steal away from their tribes and rush to the western tundra, hoping to join the Baroque shamans and fight against humans to gain their own glory. It can be said that this is an unintentional gain that no one expected, the frost wolf tribe killed fifteen thousand warriors in the battle, and after only three months, it was filled by the young and strong orcs who came one after another, and it was far more than that.
The success of the Frostwolf Great Tribe greatly stimulated Caius, the Grand Chief of the White Deer Clan. He is an extremely proud orc, and although he doesn't have a good opinion of Baroque, it doesn't mean that he likes to be subdued by people about his age. At that time, the human Caplin Empire sent nearly 100,000 troops to attack the eastern part of the tundra, and Caius led the White Deer Clan, uniting the orcs of all the surrounding tribes, large and small, to resist desperately. They fought more fiercely than the Frost Wolf Tribe, and finally blocked the almost inevitable offensive of the Kaplin Empire.
The orcs on the grassland of the horse farm only got the news many days later, and at that time, the White Deer Clan was still in a stalemate with the Caplin Emperor ** team, and there would be no sign of the end of the war for a while. Baroque euphemistically inquired about the Great Priest of Silo, and proposed that if needed, the Frostwolf Great Tribe could immediately send 30,000 soldiers to the east to reinforce the White Deer Clan. -- Baroque had some knowledge of Caius's character, and he was an extremely proud orc. Even if he is well-intentioned, if he leads the army to reinforcements so recklessly, I am afraid that Caius will feel looked down upon, and he may even do bad things with good intentions and be disgusted.
The High Priest Sila was pleased with Baroque's suggestion, and he immediately prepared to send someone to the east to inquire about the shamans there to see if they needed help. Before his heralds could leave. The scouts sent by the White Deer Clan rushed here instead. The orc scout's face was red, not from overwork, but from excitement.
"Won...... We won...... The Great Chief of Caius led us to defeat the 100,000-strong army of the Caplin Empire...... The humans have retreated, ......!" the scout cried out and fell from his horse. Tired and fainted.
The orcs who heard the news couldn't help but exclaim, the 100,000 elites of the Kaplin Empire were no worse than the elites of Audria, and even if the White Deer Clan had the strongest 30,000 [Giant Deer Cavalry] among the orcs, plus all the people were soldiers, they gathered 150,000 orc warriors from all tribes. This force faces the 100,000 elite of humanity. It's also at a disadvantage. Unexpectedly, the reinforcements of the Frostwolf Tribe had not yet moved, and they actually defeated the human army and forced it to retreat. Baroque also had to praise Caius as indeed an excellent orc hero.
The Baroque was caught up by Caius for a while, and others didn't know what the two of them thought, but at least the people of the entire orc clan were excited. Because the future of the orcs has finally shown a little light in the past thousand years, and two excellent heroes have appeared at once, perhaps the suffering of the orcs will end.
Everyone was immersed in excitement, only Baroque occasionally thought about it...... The White Deer Clan does not have beast armored warriors, and the battle shamans who rushed to reinforce them are not as many as they have here. Although only repelled the Kaplin Imperial army. Rather than crushing it, the orcs in the east must have paid a heavy enough price, and even that price would have broken some tribes.
However, this kind of thing can be asked by anyone, but you can't care about it. Otherwise, he would be considered jealous of Caius's victory, and if it reached Caius's ears, it was not known what kind of conflict he would have with him with the character of that proud fellow. It was Baroque who just accompanied everyone to laugh and began to prepare for his own business with peace of mind.
After a big defeat, the second prince, Bukred, also sobered up from his complacency. Obediently guard the three major provinces he occupies, plus the two provinces of the Josephine family in the northwest and pledge allegiance. The strength in his hands is not bad either. Empress Vitasia on the other side obviously also wanted to recuperate and lick her wounds. It was a truce that was tacitly tacitly accepted by each other, and the war that had been raging for a long time subsided. Of course, none of them would be naïve enough to think that there is peace in the world. Sooner or later, there will still be a big battle to fight with each other. After that defeat, Bukred had to admit that although he had mastered great strength, he still couldn't do without the support of the orcs if he wanted to compete with the opposite Vitasia and the Holy Maiden.
The more powerful the orc, the more support he will receive. Bucred was also decisive enough. After figuring out this truth, he vigorously helped the orcs in Xuedun City, and a large number of material resources were continuously provided to the orcs...... Anyway, for the orcs, it is regarded as a treasure and rare cloth, grain, ale, iron, medicine, etc., which humans can produce in large quantities, and there is no shortage of them. Bucred did not hesitate to agree to some of Baroque's requests, and transferred excellent officials from various cities to help orcs train and learn how to manage a city. In particular, hundreds of scholars were forcibly recruited, and all of them were pressed into the Great Frost Wolf Tribe in the Northern Tundra, and let them teach all the children in the clan to learn the common language of the mainland.
Bucred could sense Baroque ambitions, but he had no choice at this point. From the day he sought refuge from the orcs, he was tethered to them. At this time, even if he repented, the Heavenly Apocalypse Holy See would not let him go. Just like the magicians Savatdy, Pahomi, and the Skysranger Dennis. In his heart, Bukred was already a traitor.
The grassland has been completely stabilized, and all the 30,000 young and strong human beings captured by the Baroque have been turned into slaves, allowing them to graze the cattle, sheep and livestock of the frostwolf tribe and do all kinds of miscellaneous work. And almost all the young orcs, male and female, were summoned by him, and Muru was in charge of conducting military training on them. According to Baroque's instructions, Protoya also returned to the Berserk tribe with a large number of human slaves, while promoting the integration of his War Bear Clan and the Barbarian Bear Clan, and at the same time contacting those henchmen, preparing to launch that big event with Baroque at the right time in the future.
The Baroque was busy and the orc tribes were so busy that it would take a long time to learn how to manage cities like humans at once, and even form a state-style government. And it's impossible to copy the rigid human set, there are many things that need to be changed according to the character of the orcs. The Grand Patriarch of Ortu and the elders originally thought that after this great victory. The young orcs have grown up, and they don't need the old guy to show up, so they can wait for peace of mind in the future. Who knew that the Baroque had occupied a big city of mankind, facing more than 100,000 human citizens. It's impossible to kill them all. So with excitement and novelty, but more apprehension, they joined the management army one after another, and exerted their residual heat with great interest.
Zainzu hastily arrived at the horse farm from the gray dwarf settlement in the foothills of the Kundu Maya and told the Baroque a message. Baroque could no longer sit still. Leave everything behind and can't even wait to go with Zainzu. He transformed into a thunder eagle beast armor and flew into the sky, galloping towards the gray dwarf settlement. Originally, the child in Celine's womb was supposed to be born a month ago. But after so long, the war with the humans is over, and there is still no movement. If it weren't for Aunt Kama saying that Celine was in good health and that there was nothing wrong with her, Baroque would have thought something was wrong. Fortunately, now Celine is finally going to give birth.
This was the second child, when Susan gave birth to her first son. The Baroque is leading the orcs in a battle against the human legions in the grasslands of the horse farm, and has no time to care. Now that the crisis has passed, there will be at least three or two years of stability, and Baroque is ready to make up for what he owes Celine, and he wants to return to Celine as soon as possible before the birth of the child.
When he left the Duchy of Hansea, Baroque anticipated this day, so he captured more than a dozen men and women of healers from the Duchy of Hanseas, and imprisoned them all in the colony of the Grey Dwarves in order to serve Celine. These people are also very obedient in order to survive, and a few days ago they diagnosed that Celine was about to give birth. Zainzu, who led 3,000 orcs to fully protect this Baroque land and retreat at the most critical juncture, immediately rushed to the horse breeding place to inform Baroque.
Hundreds of miles long, the Baroque flew back in just one day. The Thunderhawk beast armor melted, and Evian hid on Baroque, almost exhausted. Baroque was also out of breath, waved his hand to the orc warrior who saluted him, and hurried into the small castle built on the hill, and went straight to a certain room. I just saw Aunt Kama walking out of the room with water, and there were bursts of weak screams from inside.
"Baroque, great!" Karma, who looked anxious and heavy, saw Baroque, as if he had seen a savior, and shouted hurriedly: "Quick, come in, Mrs. Celine has a difficult birth, and it has been more than eight hours since she gave birth,"
Baroque's face changed and he rushed into the room. Celine's face was pale and terrible, lying on the bed and dying, only the unconscious moaning in her mouth. Inside, several human female healers were anxious, all of them experienced in midwifery, and knew very well what this situation meant......!
"You go on. Baroque threw down this sentence with a gloomy face, threw himself to the side of the bed, and held Celine's hand tightly in a trance: "It's okay, I'm here, it's okay......." A milky white light passed from Baroque's palm to Celine is body, a warm and comfortable breath wrapped Celine, almost instantly repairing her exhausted body, the power of the shaman witch doctor was amazing, several female healers were pleasantly surprised to find that the pregnant woman had regained her strength, and the child finally showed her head............!
Celine slowly opened her eyes, and she saw a face with a faint silver beast hair, but it was extremely familiar. "Baroque, I thought I'd never see you again!"
"Hehe, no, it's not that easy for you to escape from me. You belong to me, you will belong to my son in the future, and maybe your grandson will belong to me in the future, but don't want to be lazy and run away. Baroque kissed Celine on the forehead and smiled softly.
Celine didn't reply, her brows furrowed, and she suddenly exerted force, accompanied by a high-pitched 'wow' cry, as if she was relieved from her suffering, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I was born, and I was a ...... Belch...... It's a ...... Boy...... But ......!" the woman who delivered the baby was about to cry out for joy when she suddenly felt as if she had been choked by the neck, and her expression was terrible and speechless!
Baroque and Celine were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at the baby―――――― although it was wrinkled, red, and a little ugly. But the baby's eyes were open, as black as his thin hair!
Sure enough, it's still the case!(To be continued.) )
