Alessandra, the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan, Anacista the patriarch of the Razed Panthera, and Ignati Woods, the patriarch of the Serpent Clan, stood together on a low hillside. Staring at the large corpses of orcs not far away. This is where the humans have defeated the 5,000 orc warriors, but it's been a full day since the battle is over. Since the human army was retreating, they only took all the wounded and hastily buried their comrades who died in battle, and for these 5,000 orc warriors, they only checked a little and killed all the orcs who still had a breath to ensure that there were no survivors.

"I still can't figure it out, although the number of this Ironmane Clan is much smaller, their combat effectiveness is not bad. Anathista shook his head and said, "How can the army that pursued the rout of the human race, and the convoy of those civilians, be completely wiped out like this? It stands to reason that on such a plain, the human warriors are defeated and evacuated, and at least one enemy of five enemies can resist the attack of the Iron Mane, and it is almost impossible to annihilate them all by numbers, unless they have a large number of cavalry." ”

Ignati Woods sneered, "Why is it that the armies that the humans have withdrawn must be inferior in numbers? Why can't they be three against one? Now the result is that the Iron Mane is completely annihilated, but how did the humans do it, they did it." ”

Anathista argued: "You have also seen the corpses of at least 100,000 human warriors in the barracks over there in Thor's Fortress, and the Barbarian Bear Clan only has 100,000 warriors dispatched. And the Barbarian Bear Clan has only lost more than 10,000 warriors. The rest of the human rout should only have escaped sporadically, and if their combat strength can really reach the level of three enemies and one, the hundreds of thousands of human warriors should consume more than 40,000 warriors of the barbarian bear no matter what."

Ignati Woods shook his head slightly, interrupting Anacista's words, and said, "Have you noticed the corpses of the human warriors who were carried down from the Thor's fortress? Most of the wounds from those corpses were in the back, in other words, they did not die under the axe of the Brute Bear Clan, but from the back. ”

"So what?"

"Don't you think it's a little strange here? The combat power of the Barbarian Bear Clan is indeed very strong, but it is not enough to forcibly capture the Thor Fortress with only more than 10,000 casualties, our three clans have the experience of attacking the city, if the combat power of the Barbarian Bear is calculated according to this, then the 200,000 elite soldiers under the Beast Emperor are enough to eat our three major clans, and there is still the strength to suppress the other clans. It is necessary for the Beast Emperor to forcibly issue an order to let all the clans gather under the Thunder God Fortress? He can completely forcibly annex us, and the first unified country in the history of the Orcs will appear, and who else will be the opponent of the Beast Emperor on this continent at that time? When the Orcs attack the Thunder God Fortress with all their might, they can conquer it with at most 30,000 or 40,000 casualties, so why bother to force us to consume our strength by all means?"

Ignati Woods continued: "I have been thinking about this question repeatedly in the past few days, and I guess that the brute bear took the Thunder God Fortress not because of his own reasons, but because of his internal response! You should all know that not long ago, there was a mysterious guest in Beamonburg who had been living in the palace of the Beast Emperor, and no one had ever seen his true face. If I'm not mistaken, that mysterious guy is supposed to be human. ”

"You mean, the Beast Emperor has a secret pact with humans?" Anathista heard this for the first time, and his voice couldn't help but raise a lot, and he roared loudly: "This, this is really"

"Do you want everyone to hear it?" said Ignati Woods in displeasure, "Even in our clan, there are agents of the Beast Emperor. ”

"Hehe," Anathista smiled embarrassedly, he turned his head to look around, all the guards of the three clans were thirty meters away, although his voice was much louder just now, but no one heard it.

Ignati Woods patted Anathista on the shoulder and said, "I suspect that this human should be from the Clay tribe, have you noticed that we have been walking for almost four days from Thor's Fortress, and the water and grass are really abundant along the way, but we have not seen any human Clay camps, even if we find an abandoned place, the herders there have migrated away at least half a month ago." ”

"Then why did the Beast Emperor imply that we were going to rob the Clay people's cattle, sheep and property?"

"Who knows? Maybe he knew that the Clay people had migrated, or maybe he wasn't going to fulfill that secret pact and use us to slaughter his old allies. ”

"So what should we do? Everyone lost a lot of money when they attacked Thor's Fortress, and if they didn't plunder, they couldn't make up for the losses. If you want me to say, it's better for us to join forces and forcibly attack the rout of the human army. As long as we force the march tonight for the night, we will definitely meet them before noon tomorrow, and then we will massacre them on a large scale, and the harvest should be good. ”

Alexandra stood aside, quietly listening to the argument between the two, but did not say a word.

A scout sitting on the wolf's body jumped up from a distance, and when he ran to a place about 100 meters away from the patriarch of the three clans, several guards met him, and the orc scout jumped off the wolf, let the guards search him, and then ran quickly to the patriarch of the three clans.

"What's the news?" asked Alexandra, who had not spoken.

"Report to the Patriarch. The scout stood cautiously three meters away and said, "The location of the human army and the convoy has been discovered, and they are camped about 100 kilometers to the south. However, they have a lot of scouts, and they are all cavalry, we can't get close, and from a distance alone, the human army is at least tens of thousands. In addition, on the way back, the patriarch of the Squirrel Clan and his 3,500 warriors have already caught up, and according to the time estimate, they should arrive at the human camp by dawn tomorrow. ”

"Thank you for your hard work," Alexandra said lightly, "continue to investigate, and report any news as soon as possible." ”

The scout suddenly had a look of joy on his face when he heard Alexandra's words, and when he saw that there was nothing to say, the scout turned and left, and soon walked up to his wolf, got on his horse, and then jumped away again.

"Ah, the Grey Squirrel Clan is too self-conscious, isn't it?" said Anacista, "Ironmane's 5,000 men have all been wiped out, and his 3,500 men are not sent to death?"

Alessandra said with a wry smile: "When attacking Thor's Fortress, the strength of all our clans has been attrition to varying degrees, but only the brute bear has basically maintained its strength. Now that we have captured the fortress and opened the passage to the south, the Beast Emperor has begun to reduce the supplies we have, and if we don't get new food quickly, I'm afraid that many of the clan's warriors will starve to death!"

"But the Clay tribe who live in this grassland is nowhere to be found, so should we all go and graze?" added Ignati Woods, "The Beast Emperor is even more ruthless, he doesn't say a word, and we have to force our way south, or we will starve on this steppe." Tens of thousands of people may be able to survive on hunting, but we have at least 300,000 people in here now. Hehe, the only way now is to go south and pursue the defeated human army all the way to Fernando City. ”

Anathista suddenly said, "Mammoth Legion." ”

"What?" Ignati Woods asked with Alexandra, "What do you mean?"

"The best thing to pursue on the savannah is Ray's mammoth legion, but after that night, which of you saw the mammoth legion?" said Anacista, "from the axle prints on the ground, I can barely tell that they went to the east, but that way."

"Sunrise City!" the three of them suddenly thought of going together, and said the answer in unison.

"Damn!" Alexandra, the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan, couldn't help but scold: "With human navigation technology, even if we occupy Thor's Fortress, it will be useless. ”

"What should we do now? If we continue to go south, we will definitely fight with the human army, and then our elite will be consumed little by little. But if we don't go south, what will happen to our supplies?" said Ignati Woods, "of course, there is a third way, which is to join forces and raid north."

"No!" Anathista waved his hand and immediately rejected the idea: "We must not fight among ourselves at this moment, otherwise we will have to go back obediently without waiting for the human army to come." ”

"You don't have to go south, do you?" Alexandra said lightly: "To the east is Sunrise City, of course, Ray's mammoth army has been gone for several days, we can't catch up, and since the Beast Emperor specially sent his most elite army, it also means that he is bound to win, and we don't need to touch this mold." And I think that if the Clay really have a secret pact with the Brute Bear, they will have to migrate westward, otherwise their sphere of influence will conflict with Sunrise City, which the Beast Emperor is bound to win. ”

Anathista and Ignati Woods glanced at each other, they already knew Alexandra's plan.

"Let's go west, let's go rob the Clays. Alexandra explained in detail: "The Beast Emperor wants us to consume the strength of humans, and we are not as good as he wants. The Clay tribe has lived on this grassland for 200 years, and the accumulated wealth is absolutely indispensable, so we simply join forces and go west, first raiding the migration team behind the Clay tribe, and when the army of the Beast Emperor goes south to attack Fernando City, we will slowly pass. ”

Ignati Woods smiled and said, "If the brute bears win, we will invade the hinterland of mankind and plunder." If the brute bear is defeated, we will preserve our strength and slowly retreat north. ”

Anathista also said: "The Clay clan has been plundered by us, and we will definitely think that the brute bear has broken the covenant and just isolated the beast emperor. No matter who wins or loses between the brute bear and the human, we can support our own troops, and it is best that they both lose, and then the time comes."

The three of them laughed together.
