Chapter 155: After the Great War (3)
This is a lose-lose war, the human race sacrificed a full 1.5 million warriors in this battle to defend the imperial capital, and half of Fernando City was in ruins, and for the orcs on the attacking side, the price they paid was a large number of young adults, which also reduced the 880,000 troops gathered by the orcs at the beginning to less than 250,000.
In this war, because the Barbarian Bear Clan had already achieved the separation of soldiers and herds, and every participant in the 280,000 troops of the Manbear Clan had undergone strict military training in advance, so whether it was the combat effectiveness shown in the battle or the number of people who survived the war, the army of the Manbear Clan ranked first among all clans.
No orc would think that the Brute Bear Clan relied on preserving its strength in battle to achieve this, because the battle when the Beast Emperor personally led the team to storm the human royal viewing platform was enough to prove the Barbarian Bear Clan's will to fight, even if this was not considered, just counting the results of each clan in the battle, it was the Barbarian Bear Clan that was far ahead. The Brute Bear Clan killed and strived to basically occupy two-thirds of the entire orcs.
Of course, this occupation of the first place is only relative, in fact, the original 280,000 troops of the Barbarian Bear Clan are now less than 100,000, and the vast majority of these 100,000 people are troops that the Beast Emperor has reserved in advance and have not participated in the war. This loss was huge, and the Wild Wolf Clan was slaughtered by the Wild Bear Clan after suffering this loss.
But the Beast Emperor Andreas was not very worried about the fate of his clan, and for the ruler of the Orcs, as long as the 25,000 men of his mammoth army were still there, he was not worried about his clan's position on the steppe. This mammoth legion commanded by the Beast Emperor's henchman Lei, its status in the Barbarian Bear Clan is equivalent to the status of the Royal Knights in the human race. What's more, the military power under the command of the Beast Emperor Andreas still ranks first among the entire orcs, which has to be attributed to the prophet Evan's planning in advance.
Under the military pressure of the Wild Bear Clan, the Orc Black Hawk, the Giant Serpent and the Wild Leopard Clan soon formed an alliance, and most of the troops they had retained were destroyed under the forbidden spell of Victor, in order to protect themselves, these three clans completely walked together, they not only joined forces together, but the three leaders even ate and lived together, in order to show everyone's determination to form an alliance, but also to implicitly warn the Wild Bear Clan not to act rashly.
However, Rao is like this, the total strength of the three major orc clans is still only 80,000 people, and the three leaders know in their hearts that these armies are only not inferior to the Barbarian Bear Clan in terms of quantity, and in terms of quality, such as the combat effectiveness of the warriors, equipment and other factors, they are not as good as the Barbarian Bear Clan.
After a few days of secret deliberations, Alessandra, the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan, took the lead in attacking the Beast Emperor Andreas, and the direct reason for the attack was the agreement under the Thunder God Fortress City to "distribute land according to military merits". The patriarchs of the various clans who had suffered great losses in this war echoed each other, and in their opinion, if they could not use this opportunity to make up for their losses, then let alone continue to develop, I am afraid that it would be impossible to survive this winter.
Because the prophet Evan said that even if the Brute Bear clan won the first place, he would have to retreat ten places, so the top three military exploits were indisputably held by the three clans of Black Eagle, Giant Serpent and Wild Leopard, although Prophet Evan had divided the land of the Southern Talon Prairie into enough small pieces as much as possible, but under the pressure of the three major clans, either overt or covert, the other clans all gave up their claims for the land near the Thor's Fortress.
After three days of squabbling, the three clans got their wish to get their hands on the Thor Fortress and the desert land around it, including the largest and most fertile pastures of the original Clay tribe, where the Clay chieftain Abdul was stationed. And the Wild Bear Clan is too low in ranking, every time the land chosen is very poor, and quite scattered, except for Sunrise City and a few nearby lands are connected together, each other piece of land is hundreds of kilometers apart, and there are multiple clan territories between them.
This is actually a subconscious move of other orc clans, in their opinion, the strongest brute bear clan after this war already has the strength to completely annex other clans, if they don't join forces to suppress it, maybe in a few years, the entire orcs will only have one clan, the brute bear.
And for Andreas, the Beast Emperor, this is a thing that cannot be desired, because as long as the human race fights back, then the first to bear the brunt is the South Talon grassland. On the contrary, as long as the port city of Sunrise City is controlled, the Beast Emperor does not care whether the Thor Fortress is recaptured by humans at all.
For the three major clans, what they have to do is to firmly grasp the north-south communication artery in their hands, and then slowly grow stronger, waiting for the next war to bring, attacking or being attacked by humans. Since the three major clans controlled the north-south communication arteries, each clan would inevitably be exploited when they migrated their people from their original stations in the north to the current stations in the South Talon grassland, but even the Barbarian Bear Clan did not say anything about it, and the other weak clans could only obediently close their mouths.
Of course, since the Thor's fortress built by humans was defense-oriented to the north, it was of no use to the threat from the south, so the three clans decided to demolish the fortress and build a city on the grassland south of the Thor's fortress with the materials obtained after the demolition.
In the plan of the three major clans, the city must be able to resist attacks from the south, and because of its location, it can directly contain the narrow passages that are several kilometers long in the north, so that the three major clans can firmly control the development of the other clans, even the Barbarian Bear clan will have to succumb to the pressure of the three major clans.
Of course, it all takes time, whether it's demolishing a fortress or building a new city, it takes time, it takes enough time. However, the people of the three major clans were completely immersed in the great vision of their leader, and each of them was working hard for the rise of the three clans, and a new city was rapidly appearing in front of people, although the city was only in its infancy, and it was not even fully grounded, let alone the surrounding walls.
Unconsciously, the alliance of the three major clans replaced the Brute Bear Clan and became a resistance to curbing the development of other clans of the Orcs, which also transferred the contradictions between the other clans and the Brute Bear Clan to the other clans and the three major clans of Black Hawk, Giant Serpent and Berserk. And the Brute Bear Clan is silently accumulating strength.
In the eyes of the Beast Emperor, some nominal things are simply dispensable, as long as he has absolute power in his hands, the Beast Emperor Andreas is the king of the orcs, on the contrary, even if he becomes the nominal ruler, he will be ruthlessly crushed by others, just like the wild wolf clan decades ago.
In order to do a good job of Taoguang obscurity, under the planning of the prophet Evan, the beast emperor Andreas took a series of measures, he ostensibly migrated a large number of people from his habitat in the North Tallon grassland, but in fact it was just a passing scene in the Thor Fortress controlled by the three major clans, after arriving in Sunrise City, most of them would quickly and secretly return to the North Tallon grassland, and some of the main forces, including the Mammoth Legion, were also transferred back to the North Tallon grassland.
The whole thing was done quite secretly, and the other clans, including the three major clan alliances of orcs, did not notice this. Although the alliance of the three major clans occupied the Thor-God Fortress, the main route of communication between the north and the south, the Beast Emperor mobilized his army and did not go there at all, but directly bypassed the Hengduan Mountains by ship and arrived at the seaside of the North Talon Prairie. In the Beast Emperor's plan, he would choose a place to build a harbor on the seaside of the Northern Tallon Prairie, and then run the Beast Blood Fortress north of Thor's Fortress, without worrying about the threat from the south, whether it was from humans or his own companions.
The main force of these tribesmen and orcs was stationed in the new port city, which was the Sunrise City on the South Tallon prairie. The Beast Emperor easily avoided the blockade of the three major clans with this sea route. The northern lands abandoned by the other orcs were also occupied by the Beast Emperor, and the richer pastures in the Northern Talon grassland all fell into the hands of Andreas.
It stands to reason that the water and grass of the Southern Talon grassland are much more abundant and beautiful than the Northern Talon grassland, so it is also very correct for other beasts to migrate south, but in the calculations of the Beast Emperor Andreas and the Prophet Evan, although the loss of human beings in the imperial capital is huge, it has not hurt their vitality, and the nearly 10 million residents in the Fernando City area have only lost less than 2 million, so the human counterattack will come faster than they imagined.
Once the war broke out again, the first of them were the orcs who settled in the South Talon grassland, and there was no army to compete with the cavalry units like the human royal knights, and it was impossible for the orcs to stop the cavalry charge on the grassland with their own force.
Therefore, before completely crippling the human race, and not completely expelling the human power from the South Talon grassland area, the Beast Emperor will not spend too much effort to manage that side, and now the hard work of these orcs is nothing more than building houses on the beach, which looks beautiful, and when the sea comes, everything will disappear without a trace.
Now the only hope of the Beast Emperor is that his human allies can hold back the imperial capital's counterattack as much as possible, and every day of delay, the Barbarian Bear Clan will grow and grow for a day, and once the humans finally launch a counterattack against the Orcs, those clans who regard the South Talon Grassland as their home will naturally become a direct buffer zone between humans and the Barbarian Bear Clan.
Everyone has a set of calculations in their hearts, and everyone will think that their ideas are the most perfect, but it will take time to prove what the final result will be.
