Chapter 31: The Social Structure of the Steppe Orcs
However, instead of interrogating them immediately, Ziggy locked the three orcs in chains in three different cellars, which were used to store food in the Grizzly Village, but were empty since the steppe orcs began to raid, because there was no food to store in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before interrogation, it is a psychological tactic to dry the object of interrogation.
For the steppe orcs who were born and grew up in the grassland, they were accustomed to galloping freely in the world and suddenly locked up in a claustrophobic environment, and inexplicable panic would naturally quietly invade their hearts.
The cellar, a claustrophobic environment with walls on the top, back, back, left and right, is very suitable for psychological defense of the interrogator before interrogation, and anyone will collapse psychologically if they stay in the claustrophobic environment for a long time.
In the real world, there have been people who have been tortured.
What is cave punishment? It is to put a person in a cave with no light, no sound, and completely cut off from the outside world, but give him enough water and food, and in this claustrophobic environment, the prisoner who has been held for two days can not stand it and bite off his wrist and commit suicide, but this prisoner is a drug dealer who is famous for his ruthless murder in the Golden Triangle.
It is said that when a person is awake and is held in a claustrophobic environment for six to eight hours, he begins to crave the appearance of animals such as snakes or rats in the claustrophobic environment, and then hallucinates that even the guards will feel familiar when they are held for a long time.
After being imprisoned for a long time, the three orcs began to jump up and bang on the walls of the cellar, shouting that they would either go out and fight openly or give a pleasant remark or something like that.
This made Ziggy very strange, these steppe orcs could understand all of them, could it be that the entire continent used this universal language?
After a day of detention in a cellar with no light, no sound, no contact with the outside world, when the three orcs were released, Ziggy could clearly see that they were relieved, a kind of relief that felt alive.
The next interrogation was easy, that is, separate interrogations.
The three orcs spat out the truth.
didn't move the execution, didn't waste any effort, just asked everything they wanted to know, Biden and his group admired Ziggy again, or how could Ziggy be a nobleman?
Aristocracy is just different!
Under Zigger's command, Biden and they asked a lot of useful information from the mouth of the orc.
For example, this werewolf wolf knight only belongs to a small orc tribe called the Heguth tribe, and as Ziggy expected, this small tribe has not had any orcs missing recently, and this news makes Ziggy very happy.
Also, Ziggy's guess is right, this wolf knight is still underage!
There are many tribes of the orcs of the steppe, and small tribes like the Hegus tribe have a difficult life, and they are always in danger of being swallowed up by other large orc tribes.
And the survival of the orcs on the grassland is also very interesting, even if it is a small werewolf tribe like the Hegus Department, it can also enslave the minotaur orcs, in the grassland, the minotaur orcs, the half-sheep orcs, these docile orc races all belong to the steppe slave tribe, the lowly tribe or the lower tribe, which means a low-status race.
And the werewolf orcs are born to be superior on the grassland, occupying more than seventy percent of the territory on the grassland.
However, those are occupied by large werewolf tribes, small werewolf tribes like the Hegus tribe, only occupy a small piece of grassland in the south of the grassland away from the water source, and that grassland is almost the worst grassland on the Blue Star Grassland, and even that it can't be called grassland, at best it's just grassland.
If it weren't for the relatively milder climate in the southern part of the grassland, the barren meadow would have been almost devoid of the steppe orcs used to graze.
In winter, the grass on the winter steppe enters the withering period, and life is even more difficult for small tribes like the Hegus tribe, which is one of the main reasons why this werewolf orc boy came out with his two cattle slaves to pick up the bargain.
The confessions of the three steppe orcs are basically in line with Ziggy's guess, the powerful steppe tribes occupy the grassland with abundant water and grass, so they have enough forage reserves for the winter, so there will be no problems in life.
The small tribes did not dare to go to the pastures occupied by the large tribes to graze, so they could only go south to raid, so that the situation of the steppe orcs going south was relatively light, and it was generally just a harassment.
If there is a heavy snowfall such as a snowstorm in winter, when countless cattle and sheep freeze to death, and even the large steppe orc tribes can't survive, then the human towns in the south will suffer, and they will have to face the looting of thousands of steppe orcs, and at that time, it will really be a disaster for these humans living in the north!
However, for this werewolf boy who fell into his hands, it seems that his trip out is more like a test, in addition to wanting to pick up cheap and grab some living materials in the human town, this werewolf boy needs to use the materials he has grabbed to prove that he has grown up!
This is also a common problem of the barbarian tribes, often asking teenagers of the same age to kill enemies alone or hunt alone to prove that they are already qualified warriors!
It's like a rite of passage.
"No matter how small the steppe werewolf tribe is, can it enslave the minotaur orcs?"
Ziggy is more interested in this information, this kind of steppe orc social structure is also in line with the humanity of the intelligent race, after all, any social structure has a class, but the minotaur orc race is a bit sad, whether it is in the human empire or in their orc tribe, it is an oppressed and enslaved race.
Now it seems that the saying that people are good at being bullied by others and horses are good at being ridden is really very reasonable, and a docile orc race like the Minotaur is honest and hard working like a ploughing ox, but being enslaved by other races to work, which is really a living portrayal of reality.
Who told you to be honest?
Who told you to be obedient?
You deserve to be a miserable race!
From the confessions of these three steppe orcs, it can be seen that the number of minotaur orcs on the grassland is actually about the same as the number of werewolf orcs, but there has long been no minotaur orc tribe on the grassland, and all the minotaur orcs are slaves of werewolf orcs.
"Don't you resist?" Ziggy couldn't help but ask curiously when he asked a steppe minotaur, in his opinion, the minotaur is famous for his great strength, once the steppe minotaur orcs rise up to resist, how can it be enough for those steppe wolf orcs to drink a pot.
"Resist, why haven't they resisted, but are they useful? They have sharp teeth and sharp scimitars, and we have no weapons!" replied a steppe minotaur helplessly.
"Nonsense, so what did you hold in your hands when you came here?" Without waiting for Ziggy to speak, Biden disbelieved it, took out the plate axe used by the captured minotaur, and shook it in front of the steppe minotaur.
"That's because I've behaved well and been obedient, and this is the reward given to our brothers by the wolf lords of the upper clan, so that I can bring something home for my wife and children......" the minotaur replied truthfully.
It turns out that as long as it is a good and obedient slave clan, you can follow the wolf master of the upper clan out to rob, and the things you grab can be taken home, this way of managing slaves is very ancient and effective, and the slaves are divided into classes with a very low status, and the most obedient can get some benefits from the slave owner, and can live better than other slaves, so that the slaves will rush to serve the slave owner.
"Can we go back to the grasslands?" my child is still sick......" asked one of the Minotaur brothers tentatively.
