Chapter 156: Scapegoat!

Thorn and Ronald watched in surprise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The mammoth was still running angrily, and the old voice on the elephant's back came again: "Tranquility!"

The irascible and angry mammoth elephant seemed to be gently brushed by its mother's hand, and its breath became calm, and its mood became calm and stable. I saw that the mammoth giant elephant quickly slowed down until it stood still, then lowered its head, rolled up the weeds on the ground with its long snout, stuffed it into its mouth, and chewed it gently.

"Shaman!"

Thorne stood there in surprise, his body trembling visibly. He was so excited, the scene just now was completely clutched at his heart, and the victory seemed to come so suddenly, it made him feel overwhelmed.

The old man's voice was naturally the shaman of the Iron Hammer Tribe, and he saw that on the back of the elephant, the shaman showed his head, nodded and smiled at Thorn. The shaman reached out and patted the mammoth elephant's head as if he were patting a child.

The mammoth elephant, which was chewing grass, picked its nose a little reluctantly, let out a cry in its mouth, and then meekly lowered its head, and a pair of forelimbs knelt on the ground, and its long nose rested on the ground like a straight slide.

The shaman got up, got off the mammoth's head, then slid down his nose and stood firmly on the ground.

"Shaman, why are you here?" Thorn tried to run over, but he pulled the wound on his body, snorted in pain, and his body went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.

Before, because he was in the middle of the battle and was emotionally agitated, Thorn was able to barely suppress the pain and burden caused by the injury, but now that his heart was relieved, all the damage caused by the injuries on his body broke out.

The shaman's face was serious, and he immediately ran over.

"Sleep!"

With a finger of the cane, the orc's spell directly submerged into Thorn's body, and his face, which was distorted by pain, quickly became calm, and his thick body fell to the ground, and he directly snored to the sky.

The shaman was relieved to hear Thorn's snoring.

Being able to have such a loud snoring sound, even if it is seriously injured, means that at least it is not life-threatening.

"Shaman. Ronald looked at this scene, nodded slightly, and said with a slightly respectful expression.

What Ronald reveres is not the orc shaman, but the power that the shaman has, symbolizes.

Mages hold a high status in human society because they wield mysterious and powerful elemental powers. A shaman is actually the equivalent of an orc magician...... Although their spells are completely different from human magicians, and their destructive power is inferior, they are more mysterious and weird.

If the human mage can be seen as an independent combat unit, then the orc shaman is equivalent to a magical support unit. But at certain times, a good support is often more terrifying than a direct combat unit.

"On behalf of the Hammer Tribe, thank you for your help today. The shaman walked over, briefly examined Thorn's injuries, and then looked at Ronald with a smile.

"My little strength is nothing to him, after all, they are all gold, and I am only silver. Ronald responded somewhat modestly.

"Haha, there are many kinds of hypocrisy in human beings, and your words can be regarded as a kind of hypocrisy, right? I remember talking to humans in the caravans that came and went, and your current kind seems to be called modesty, right?"

The shaman smiled heartily: "But we orcs don't like this, as long as it's ours, no one can take it from us." Whether it's power, territory, people, power...... Or honor!"

"Like today?" Ronald thought.

"That's right. However, Thorn is a little too impulsive, his sense of responsibility is too strong, which is a good thing for a chief, but it is not a good thing either. The shaman shook his head and sighed.

That's a good thing, but it's not a good thing either......

Such a tactful and profound remark does not seem to be uttered by a stupid, honest, direct orc.

Ronald nodded understandingly, "The Hammer Tribe is still too weak, Thorn...... It's too weak. ”

"That's right, if the Hammer Tribe is a powerful being like the Golden Lion Tribe, or if Thorn is a Holy Order, then his sense of responsibility will be the sword that protects the tribe. But unfortunately, we don't have either of these conditions. ”

The shaman said with some frustration.

"And what are you going to do next?" Ronald asked with emotion, his eyes flickering as he stared at the shaman.

"We are going to move the entire tribe out of the territory of the Golden Lion tribe and seek the protection of another big tribe! Human, your luck is very good, don't you want to leave the Northern Wilderness Plain and return to your human territory? You can follow our tribe for the time being, I dare not say that we can send you to the territory of the human race, but at least it can bring you closer to your destination...... This is our Hammer Tribe's reward for you. ”

Leave the Northern Wilderness Plain and return to human territory.

That's exactly what Ronald has been looking forward to lately.

Don't leave home, don't know your homeland!

Although Ronald is a traverser, even the territory of a human is not Ronald's true homeland, but he is a human after all. I didn't feel it in human territory before, but after walking around this northern wilderness plain, Ronald missed the towns full of human traffic on the streets.

Even if it's just a backcountry, at least it's surrounded by humans!

The most important thing is that even if Ronald doesn't care about racial and geographical distinctions, it doesn't mean that orcs don't care. For these orcs, unless Ronald is always with the caravan, they can barely hang a 'smuggling caravan' sign.

But if it were him, then wherever Ronald went, as long as he ran into other orcs, he would be an enemy!

As long as Ronald's feet are still on the North Wilderness Plain for a day, then danger will always be with him.

Back to their homeland...... What a wonderful result, even if it's just a little closer.

However, Ronald shook his head.

The shaman looked at Ronald with some surprise, and at the same time frowned: "Don't you want to return to the territory of the human race?"

"Of course, I want to return to human territory all the time, and if I can exchange it now, I am even willing to pay the price of an arm to allow me to teleporte into human territory. ”

"However, I shake my head not to say that I reject your offer, but rather that I don't feel the need for you to move an entire tribe. Ronald said with a slight smile.

The shaman was still frowning, looking at Ronald's gaze with a hint of scrutiny: "We will not betray our chieftain, after all, we orcs and humans are not ......"

"No, I'm not saying to let you betray Thorn, because it doesn't make any sense. Even if you hand over Thorn now, and even put all the blame on him, the Hammer Tribe will still be implicated. ”

"I don't know everything, but I can guess it. And according to your orc habits, it is not who is to blame, but power. As long as the strength of your Iron Hammer Tribe is not as strong as that of the Golden Lion Tribe for a day, then there is no point in you in shirking the blame. ”

"That's right, then you ......"

"Didn't Lord Shaman think of going over and finding a scapegoat for this?" Ronald chuckled and looked at the priest helplessly.

Admittedly, orcs are not stupid, they are equally intelligent.

But the nature of orcs is too simple, and this is a trait that comes from their blood. Even if they are wise, they are never good at using intrigues, even the simplest ones.

In addition to power, the most loaded things in their heads are glory and responsibility.

Although human beings also pay attention to responsibility and glory, and even use it as a moral benchmark, human beings also have the existence of conspiracy, just like Tai Chi, there is a white side, but there is also a black side, and no one is more than anyone else.

And the root of all this is that human beings have the continuation of civilization!

The orcs are still in a semi-primitive state of existence, although they have confronted, fought, and invaded humans for thousands of years, but they have not developed even the most basic civilization.

Ronald was suddenly startled, and a chill spread from the bottom of his heart: "No, since the orcs have invaded human territory, it has been at least thousands of years old, but how can there be no progress in civilization in these thousands of years?"

"War is the quickest and most effective way to facilitate communication and exchange between the two races. But for thousands of years, human beings have almost touched the bottom of the orc race, but why has the orc race not made any progress at all, and is still in a semi-primitive state of existence?"

"Unless, someone deliberately obstructs the development process of the orc civilization, and has affected and even hindered the development of the orc civilization in many ways for thousands of years. In addition, the orcs were originally a simple race that admired strength...... The combination of inside and outside, that's why there will be such a strange result. ”

"The only thing that can continue to influence the entire orc race for thousands of years, and even hinder the development of their civilization, is ...... Human!"

Ronald's heart fluttered, if that's the case, then human beings ...... Or the high-level who have ruled all the kingdoms of mankind for thousands of years, such as those royal families and great nobles, are really too terrifying.

Among human beings, there is no country that can maintain its prosperity for thousands of years, and kingdoms, principalities, and even empires have disappeared in the long river of time.

If it's just an accident that the civilization of the orcs has been in this state, then it's okay.

If it is really the conscious interference and influence of those powerful, wealthy, and powerful families in human beings......

It was terrible to see who had made this grand plan in the first place, and to the powerful people who had been carrying it out for thousands of years!

Horror!

Ronald was startled by a random thought of his own, and cold sweat instantly covered his forehead and back.

Power and status are terrible, but they are not enough to make Ronald feel terrible.

But if Ronald's speculation has a slight possibility of reality, then the group of people behind the development and manipulation of this plan, their temperament, ruthlessness, determination, and perseverance are the reasons why Ronald really feels terrified.

"Scapegoats, don't treat us orcs as you, we orcs are warriors, and we dare to swing our swords at those who hurt us, and we have the courage to bear the consequences. The priest rebuked righteously.

Ronald swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced down the terrible conjecture that had crossed his mind.

Whether or not there is a slight chance that this conjecture is true, this game is not for Ronald to play.

The chessboard is too big, and even if Ronald has a big bandit system, he is not qualified to play this game. Since he is not qualified to play chess, Ronald is of course more reluctant to be a pawn that is manipulated by others, so it is better not to think about these issues.

"The courage to bear the consequences, what the shaman meant by that was to take the responsibility, right?" Ronald asked, looking at the shaman.

"Yes, the responsibility is the same as the glory, it is the responsibility that the warrior needs to bear. Those who shirk responsibility are cowards, and it is worse than cowards to throw the responsibility they need to bear to others. The shaman took a deep breath, a hint of anger in his eyes.

Obviously, Ronald's so-called scapegoat's remarks have touched the bottom line of the shaman, or the orc.

Like Thorn, he was the chief of the tribe, and while he enjoyed the glory and power that came with this position, he also took on his own responsibility - to protect his people!

Of course, Thorn's decisions and methods may seem foolish to some people, especially some of humanity, but it cannot be denied that Thorn did not hesitate to shoulder his responsibilities with bravery and glory.

Ronald looked at the shaman's angry face, and while he was troubled by the brutality and stubbornness of the orcs, he also tried to organize his next words and words.

Judging from the shaman's reaction just now, it is obvious that orcs cannot be communicated like humans, and at least the idea of communication needs to be changed.

"Lord Shaman, if I'm not mistaken, the Hammer Tribe will have two more days to worship ancestors, right?" Ronald asked.

The shaman didn't understand why Ronald asked this question at this time, but he still nodded: "That's right, two days later, it will be the ancestor worship ceremony of our Iron Hammer Tribe." ”

"So, according to the shaman, the migration of the Hammer Tribe is going to start in two days?"

"Of course, the migration of tribes is also a big event, and according to custom, we need to tell the ancestors the reason during the ceremony, and then ......," replied the shaman.

"Then if there is no need to migrate, there is no need to disturb the ancestors of the tribe because of this matter. ”

"As I said, orcs don't shirk their responsibilities, and they don't throw them on to anyone else. What's more, even if we throw the responsibility to others, will the surrounding tribes acquiesce? The Golden Lion tribe is not stupid, they naturally won't simply believe our words. ”

Orcs aren't stupid, but they don't have very good brains...... Ronald complained in his heart.

"What if...... There is no need to blame other tribes, but to some people who can't argue at all, and even the Golden Lion tribe can't verify it. Ronald looked at the shaman and said faintly, "For example...... A newcomer to a human caravan with a powerful armed bandit of thieves!" )
