Chapter 50: Evil Spirits
Although the orcs are upright, they are not all stupid, at least the big chief still knows how to ask for help from the young master who has just taken refuge. It's just that Prince William is now in a critical period of planning, and he really doesn't have time to ask about this little thing, which makes the big chief sigh that he is unladylike.
Up to now, the serious combat strength of this orc tribe has basically been wiped out, but if you want to conquer the orc tribe, you still need to plan. There are also more than 13,000 orcs in the tribe, and although they are not combat troops, these orcs are at least much more fierce than the Terran recruits as long as they take up arms. So if you want to attack, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Of course, Myron will not attack, he already has a way to capture the orc tribe in his heart, and he has not made a move, in fact, he is also waiting for the reaction of the orc reinforcements. Based on the contact with the orcs in the past six months, Myron guessed that the military genius he encountered last time should not be among the Gus tribe, otherwise it would not be possible to explain the way the orcs showed such a low IQ in fighting later.
For this military genius, Myron also has his own guesses. From the interrogation of the captives, Myron felt that the one she had met before might be their half-blood prince, William. As a result, Myron stepped up her intelligence efforts to grasp as much of William's movements as possible.
It is very difficult to set up an intelligence network in the Western Regions, and the difficulty lies in not being able to penetrate into the enemy's interior. Indeed, there is almost no possibility that an upright race like orcs can be bought by humans. And if humans want to mix in the Orc King City, unless they are skewered on the barbecue grill.
Of course, this is not to say that intelligence is completely inadmissible. Although the orcs cannot be bribed, it is very smooth if they are only watched from the sidelines, and the confessions of those orcs who are sometimes "lost" become the only way for Myron to obtain information. In the Orc Kingdom, no one pays attention to whether there are humans lurking nearby, and no one cares if there are no warriors lost in the city.
Before figuring out William's movements, Myron didn't want to attack the Gus tribe easily. He was afraid that if one of them didn't get it right, he would be yin by William again.
Fortunately, Myron's harvest in the past two months has been very gratifying.
The first was the capture of slaves, and after a period of fighting, Myron harvested another 2,000 strong orc slaves. Fill them into the road construction team, and it is expected that the road will be paved within 2 months.
Secondly, after these 2 months of fighting, the legionnaires have grown a lot. Now that they saw the orcs, they no longer needed their commanders to give them courage, nor did they all need to hide behind the tower shields and fire cold arrows. They will take advantage of the terrain to hide, ambush, and take it in pursuit and retreat. They will also charge at the same amount of orcs with the protection of their equipment, and they will not be frightened when they see the orcs pick up the big wooden sticks, and they know to block it with the shield on their left arm first, and then use their war knives to break the orc's chest. The soldiers also knew that with the difference in equipment levels between the two sides, as long as they dealt with it calmly, the probability of being killed was actually not high.
Gradually, they gradually took off their hats as recruits and became one qualified fighter after another. This is also the result that Myron originally wanted.
......
......
The northern part of the Western Regions is home to many orcs, and unlike other races, the orcs do not have a clear sphere of influence. There is a saying among the orcs: "Wherever I go, my home is my home." ”
Thanks to their strong survival and vigorous fecundity, the orcs are always in a state of overpopulation no matter what the environment is. They mainly hunt and occasionally grow some food, but they are not very productive.
In order to adapt to the expanding population, the orcs established tribes of various sizes and shapes in the northern part of the Western Regions. They don't need comfortable houses, they don't need strong walls, they can continue to survive as long as there is prey nearby.
Races that live by hunting will always encounter all sorts of randomness, and orcs are victims of this randomness. Every year, countless orcs starve to death for a variety of reasons. But even so, the orcs are still expanding, and they are coming to an end.
Even the orcs who are not very good at using their brains know that further north, out of the Western Regions, that is the territory of the Kingdom of Alexander. The orcs who dared to move the tribe out of the Western Regions had never survived for half a month.
If you go south, you will encounter elves or dwarves, and although neither of these races is expanding, it will be difficult to occupy their territory.
The West has come to an end, completely isolated by a berserk energy barrier that it simply cannot cross.
To the east is the Central Twelve Duchies, which are also unshakable existences for orcs.
Therefore, if you want to continue to expand, it is imperative to pick out a relatively soft persimmon from these hard bones.
In fact, the orcs had already had their own opinions, the human race, as the most powerful race in the Fangtian Continent, was not something that these alien races could shake at all. Since there is no choice in the three directions, the orcs can only look for elves and dwarves from time to time.
And the dwarves are really not a race to be messed with, they can even repel the invasion of demons, let alone these unorganized and undisciplined orc tribes. They are really strong in the caves, and the main thing is that there is not much food in the place where they live, so even the orcs are not willing to provoke.
Elves are different, they have what they want, not to mention that they are elves who cross all racial aesthetic boundaries. Orcs are known to love elves as well.
Therefore, the small-scale friction between the elves and the orcs has not stopped, but it basically ends in the defeat of the orcs. But even if it's just to catch a few elves once in a while, the battle still keeps the orcs entertained. Perhaps, they just want to consume the vigorous population in this way.
However, in recent years, there is an orc who is no longer satisfied with this small fight, and he wants to have a big one.
He was William, the prince of orc and elven blood. He had been planning for this great victory for 3 years. Now, it's the last and most critical step in the preparation phase of the plan.
However, this step is not for elves......
"Rayman's side is ready, right?" said William, sitting in his tent, chatting with his cronies.
"Back to Your Highness, the news that has just been transmitted has arrived at the ambush site. ”
"Very good, let the copper tiger take 300 soldiers here for a while, as long as it seems that there are many people and it is inconvenient to pass. Then you take 100 spearmen and lay an ambush here, and if you see something flying by, shoot me down. Also, inform the three commanders, and say that the young master has something to discuss with them. William gestured with his hand to the map, pointing to the two paths that came out of the orc king Thrall's tent.
"Obedience"
......
......
The Orc King Thrall is happy today, in fact, in recent years, he has been happy every day. Although the small-scale war with the elves ended in defeat every time, and his level was only level 10 and he never broke through, this did not affect his mood. After all, his father, his grandfather, his grandfather's father, and his grandfather's grandfather all came over like this.
But unlike them, Sal had two good sons. Of course, Thrall has many children, but these two stand out.
His eldest son's name is Robin, and he is really a natural king, reaching level 11 at a young age, becoming the number one warrior of the orc clan. And he is hot-blooded, brave, prestigious, responsible, and most importantly, he has a good brain, and he can be regarded as the most outstanding orc leader in recent generations. Provided, of course, that he did inherit the orc throne.
It stands to reason that such a good orc prince deserves to inherit the throne, but Thrall's youngest son, William, the half-blood, has shown a talent far beyond his older brother in recent years. Although he is bloodthirsty and brutal, but orcs, who is not?
Therefore, the question of the succession to the throne needs to be well decided. This is certainly nerve-wracking, but fortunately, there is plenty of time, and he is not old, at least he can be on the throne for more than ten years. So, you can think about it slowly.
Today, the youngest son, William, said that he had been given a short sword to give to himself, and that it was an artifact. It is said that his grandfather also owned an artifact, but he lost a battle, resulting in the artifact not being passed down. And William, who was only 14 years old, was able to get an artifact, which made Sal feel that he was really more and more like a king.
Not long after, William came to the Great Tent, and he first sent the guards before presenting the dagger to Thrall. Thrall swung his sword a few times, only to feel a trace of eerie aura coming from the sword.
"Father, this sword is called an evil spirit, why don't you let your son show you the characteristics of the artifact?" said William respectfully.
"Good!" Thrall was very fond of evil spirits, but did not know what to do, so he handed them back to William.
After William took the evil spirit, he suddenly stared at Sal's back in confusion, as if something strange was there. Sal's curiosity was piqued by William, and he also looked behind him, but did not find anything unusual.
It was not the rear that was abnormal, but William. By the time Thrall turned, William's evil spirit had pierced Thrall's heart. The evil spirit is an artifact, it is silent to use, and when it pierces Thrall's body, it is as easy as slicing tofu. As soon as the demon entered his body, Thrall felt as if his strength had been withdrawn, so that he could not use even a trace of strength.
If it was an ordinary blade, it was basically impossible to pierce the body of a level 10 warrior without using Dou Qi. Even if you stab it, you can't stop the opponent's counterattack before death.
And if he used his fighting spirit, it would inevitably make Sal vigilant at the moment of his shot. After all, William is two levels lower than Sal, and once this situation misses a blow, he must be the one who dies.
"For ...... Miscellaneous...... ......"As is the case with everyone who has been betrayed by a loved one, Thrall doesn't know why William is stabbing himself with an evil spirit.
"Because, you're in the way. William whispered to Sal. As he spoke, he drew his dagger and Thrall fell silently on the throne.
As soon as the evil spirit was pulled out, it instantly sucked the blood from the sword's body, and then let out a low roar, as if it was very satisfied with the lunch.
"Now, dear brother, it's your turn. William whispered, then turned and walked out.
