Chapter Forty-Seven: The Fengpeng Clan
Dennis was even more surprised when he got the scroll, there are not many magicians on the continent who can make such a fine magic scroll, those magicians usually have the title of high-level magician, and they are easily unwilling to do it, but Ryan only made these things in a few days of rest.
Although he is a priest, Dennis can definitely feel the magical power contained in the scroll, and he knows that as long as he tears the scroll himself, he can trigger the power on the scroll and let it hit the target accurately according to his own will, which is really great for a priest who has no offensive ability.
Dennis vividly remembered that Ryan only wore a magic apprentice's badge on his chest. Of course, after a series of adventures, no one really treats Ryan as a magic apprentice, but Dennis can't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
So Dennis asked Ryan sideways, and after learning that Ryan could only be a magic apprentice because he couldn't pass the promotion test of the Magic Guild, Dennis couldn't help but sigh to the sky, and couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, he is a priest, and the promotion of a priest is not so much a rule, as long as you are pious to the god you believe in, you can get the power given by God, the higher the degree of piety, the greater the power of nature, this is nothing to test.
After the distribution is over, it means that this adventure of the six arrow mercenary groups is over. Pastor Dennis soon joined another mercenary group in Wind Chimes Town, they will escort a wealthy merchant, and carry away the twenty-horse cart goods purchased by this merchant here, as a priest who can heal, he is naturally extremely respected by those mercenaries, and after fighting desperately, it is one of the three major wishes of every mercenary to be able to get the priest's treatment.
As for the other two, one is to be supported by a mage when fighting, and the other is to fight under the leadership of a holy knight. The former has great power and will increase their chances of victory, while the latter is good at commanding and making the battle easy and simple.
Bury is ready to take the team back to his hometown, the six arrows have suffered a lot of losses this time, and they need to replenish their manpower, and it is estimated that the future will focus on cultivating fresh blood. But Burry's face was full of confidence, and there was no better help than these for experienced instructors, sophisticated weapons, and magic scrolls made by Ryan.
Ryan also believed that Burry and the others were angry, and the silence of the six arrow mercenary groups would not be too long, and his heart was also full of blessings for Burry and the others.
All of a sudden, the lively room suddenly became deserted, Ryan sighed slightly, and discussed his future journey with Elendor, who suddenly proposed to enter the Silent Forest, where he hoped to find his new companion.
The two have been together for almost a year, and most of the time they rely on Ryan's opinion, but as long as Alendor puts forward his opinion, Ryan is also very respectful. What's more, since Ellendo's wind wolves died in the battle against the lich, Elendor has been sullen, and Ryan is also very unhappy in his eyes, and now Elendo actually offered to find a new partner, and Ryan is also happy for him in his heart.
Anyway, the two of them had nothing to prepare, so they simply cleaned up, and Ryan and Alendor set off towards the Silent Forest in the south.
---*――――*――――*――――*――――-North Talon Prairie, orc territory.
For more than a month, hundreds of Shinshi riding white gray-toothed wolves have been galloping across the Northern Tallon savannah, and they have been unrestrained in all directions of the grassland, passing the all-out war decree issued by the Beast Emperor Andreas to the various tribal leaders of the Orcs. After receiving this decree, each orc tribe immediately began to prepare for war accordingly.
After decades of recuperation, the orcs have reproduced rapidly, and have escaped the impact of the great catastrophe of fifty years, and the population has grown from less than 800,000 to nearly 5 million.
The rapid reproduction of the population, the most direct consequence is the lack of food, if it were not for the powerful force deterrence of the Orc ruler Barbarian Bear Tribe, perhaps the seventy-six tribes of the Orcs would have already begun a bloody fight. Although there were no large-scale wars, small-scale conflicts broke out with the expansion between tribes, and many weak tribes had to move to the more northern regions of the prairie in order to feed their people, where it was even colder, and perhaps half of the tribesmen could freeze to death in a cold snap, but at least they did not have to face the powerful threat of their compatriots.
In any case, the Northern Talon savannah has been relatively calm for decades, but an order from the Beast Emperor broke it all like a stone thrown into the lake. No matter what area they live in, no matter how many or few people they have, no matter what kind of thoughts the leaders of these tribes have in their hearts, they have to embark on the road to the Eastern Beast Blood Castle with their own warriors under the military deterrence of the Barbarian Bear Clan and the longing for the fertile land of the Southern Talon Prairie.
The Beast Blood Fortress is the closest city to the Thor Fortress for the orcs, it is about 150 kilometers away from the Thor Fortress, and if you march with all your might, it only takes 3 days to reach the Thor Fortress. In the second year after the Bears took control of the Orcs, although they had not yet recovered, they organized their men to begin the construction of this humble city. Over the decades, the size of the Beast Blood Fortress had expanded twentyfold, and it contained enough food for half a million people for a year, and was the front line of the Orc counteroffensive.
Of course, not every tribe has sent all the eligible males in the clan, at least the Fengpeng clan living in the middle of the North Taron savannah is one of them.
The population of the Fengpeng clan is not large, but about 130,000, which is far from the 1.5 million population of the Barbarian Bear Tribe, but every man in their clan is an excellent archer, with 40,000 archers with 100 shots.
Elvis, the leader of the Wind Peng Clan, is about 50 years old, which is a period of aging for orcs who only live 60-70 years old. But decades of being a leader have kept Elvis's mind shrewd and clear, unaffected by his age.
This time, the Beast Emperor ordered an all-out attack on the Thor Fortress, and Elvis himself had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and the Wild Wolf Clan 50 years ago also issued the same order, but what was the result? In the first battle of the Thor Fortress, hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed by the human army led by the Royal Knights.
Lost the powerful deterrent of force, the other clans under the rule of the Wild Wolf Clan launched a war for the Beast Emperor, and the riots and rebellions made Frederick the Beast Emperor of the Wild Wolf Clan exhausted to deal with it, and was seized by the Brute Bear Clan, which had maintained its strength in the war with humans. In the battle of Panduras Wasteland, Frederick, the beast emperor of the Wolf Clan, and his direct heirs were killed in battle.
At that time, Elvis was not yet 20 years old, and there were only more than 30,000 people in the Fengpeng clan at that time, and there were only 8,000 warriors in the clan, so it was naturally impossible to fight with the wild wolves, brute bears and other clans that had hundreds of thousands of warriors in the clan. However, Elvis's father seized the opportunity of the battle between the wild wolves and the brute bears, and took advantage of their reluctance to make extraneous branches, and occupied the rich Kirkosi pasture.
The Kirkoche Ranch is located in the south-central part of the North Tarren Savannah, and is a rare place in the North Tarren Savannah in terms of climate and products. Originally, this was the territory of the Wild Wolf Clan, but after the Wild Wolf Clan failed in the expedition to Thor Fortress, in order to resist the aggressive attack of the Wild Bear Clan, all the troops here were transferred to the front line, and they were picked up by the Fengpeng Clan.
Although the Wild Bear Clan finally defeated the Wolf Clan, it was also a disastrous victory, and they had to issue an order to recuperate, and when the Wild Bear Clan recovered ten years later, the Wind Peng Clan had firmly controlled the Kerkosi Ranch.
Now, Andreas, the beast emperor of the Barbarian Bear Clan, has issued an order for all-out war, and Elvis doesn't have his own plan in his heart: if he openly disobeys the order of the beast emperor, he will naturally not work, but it is justified to implement it with some discounts.
So Elvis let his eldest son Terrence lead 30,000 archers to the Beast Blood Castle to obey the arrangement of the Beast Emperor, and let his second son Fred lead the remaining 10,000 archers to the north overnight, lurking in the large forest at the junction of the Northern Tallon Prairie and the Northern Frozen Plateau.
According to Elvis's plan, when his eldest son Terrance attacked Thor's Fortress, because he led archers and belonged to a long-range support force, the losses should not be very large. If he can break through the Thor Fortress, Elvis will let his son Terrence seize the abundant water and grass at all costs for the Fengpeng clan to migrate in the future.
If history repeats itself again, even if these 30,000 shooters are wiped out, I am afraid that the entire orc tribe will be greatly injured at that time, then the 10,000 shooters of his second son will be called a decisive force, and he can rely on this power to obtain greater benefits.
Of course, since the population of the Fengpeng Clan is too small compared to the Barbarian Bear Clan that rules the orcs, Elvis is not arrogant enough to replace the Barbarian Bear Clan and rule the entire orc tribe. However, he believed that as long as the Fengpeng clan could firmly occupy a few pastures with abundant water and grass and slowly develop the population, after more than a hundred years, the Fengpeng clan might not have such a possibility.
When the orcs retreated to the North Talon steppe 200 years ago, there were only 70,000 or 80,000 people in the Barbarian Bear Clan, most of whom were still old, weak, sick and disabled, and only owned a small piece of land, living a life of daily protection. And now, the Bear Clan has become the most powerful clan of the Orcs, with a population of 1.5 million, occupying nearly half of the entire Northern Tallon Prairie, and owning seven of the ten most abundant pastures in the Northern Tallon Prairie.
Elvis believed that as long as the Fengpeng clan continued to develop slowly, perhaps the next beast emperor to rule the entire orc would be the Fengpeng clan. He Elvis may not be able to see it, but his eldest son Terrence is brave and good at fighting, and his second son Fred is full of strategy, and he will definitely carry forward the Fengpeng clan.
