Chapter 226: The Orc Tribes in the Forest
From Great Xia City to the Werewolf Tribe, and then to New Stone City, this trip can be described as a long way.
During this period, in order to ensure the safety of New Stone City and prevent the werewolves in the forest from escaping, Xia Qi ordered a part of the troops of Qingyan City and North Wind City to be transferred, and at the same time appointed Wang Meng as the general of New Stone City to defend the city, and immediately rushed to New Stone City.
This move can be said to be a big move.
The reason why Xia Qi did this is actually for a reason.
Before that, there was only one castle nearby, and further south, there was a series of post stations, followed by Qingyan Castle. Once Qingyan City is broken, you can directly enter Great Xia City.
At that time, Great Xia was really at stake.
Originally, the north of North Wind City was a barren land, but starting from the return of Rowling and Alora of the northern tribes, Xia Qi realized that there were other forces on the land further north.
There are not only human tribes, but also orc tribes.
What's even worse is that Xia Qi doesn't know when these forces will press to invade Great Xia.
Under such a premise, a North Wind City is a bit thin, and it is imperative to build a new city.
In other words, even if Xia Qi didn't capture these people, he would build a new city near here.
It just so happens that Wang Meng's loyalty has now reached more than 70.
With the generals of Great Xia all in charge, it was natural for Xia Qi to send Wang Meng.
Wang Meng, who received the order, was overjoyed, originally he thought that he would be hidden in the snow for a while, but he didn't expect His Majesty to appoint him to a new position so soon.
Wang Meng couldn't help but be even more grateful to Xia Qi, and even his loyalty rose by five points.
He is a bachelor, and it can be said that except for Du Ruhui in Great Xia, there is no old man, and he wants to know the other party before he appoints him.
With this in mind, Wang Meng went into battle lightly, rode a war horse alone, and went to New Stone City.
Wang Meng is worthy of being Wang Meng, and after coming to New Stone City, he quickly showed extraordinary means, and in a short period of time, he packed up this group of soldiers who were originally disobedient to him.
Then, Richard arrived with his werewolf warriors.
It was the first time for Richard and Wang Meng to meet, and the two sides did not greet each other, but they just looked at the generals of Great Xia, nodded to each other, and then got to the point.
Wang Meng stretched out his hand and pointed to the forest in the distance, and said, "It was over there that the logging team was attacked by werewolves. Since I arrived, I have sent soldiers to keep an eye on it, but I have never seen the werewolves leave the forest. ”
Richard nodded and said, "I know, I'll leave it to us next." ”
With that, Richard took two hundred double-knife war wolves out of the city and walked towards the big forest, and soon walked into it under Wang Meng's gaze.
After the werewolves had gone some distance deep into the Great Forest, Richard sniffed, then stopped.
"Whew-"
A loud wolf howl came out of Richard's mouth, and the sound spread out quickly, and even Wang Meng and the others outside the forest could faintly hear it.
"Whew-"
Soon, Richard got a response, and a large number of dark shadows appeared in front of Richard and the other werewolves.
These black shadows are werewolves hidden in the forest.
The two werewolves confronted each other, but with just one face, the gap between the two sides was suddenly revealed.
The werewolf warriors on Richard's side, fully equipped and lined up.
Look at the werewolves on the other side, standing crookedly, dressed in tatters, holding rudimentary bone weapons in their hands.
Tightening the axe in his hand, which had just been snatched from the human hand, a werewolf suspected of being the wolf king walked out.
Looking at the same clan wearing leather armor and carrying two knives at his waist, its eyes were full of complexity.
Richard behaved very strongly, and said straight to the point: "You can also see the gap between us, accept our co-optation and become a part of my clan." ”
Hearing this, the Whig looked a little hesitant, the position of the wolf king, but it fought with all its might, just let it out, it was very unwilling.
Seeing the other party's response, the expression on Richard's face suddenly became full of solemnity.
"Then, let's follow the werewolf tradition!"
Truth be told, if he could, the Whigs didn't want to fight against this sudden appearance of their kind.
But it can't be helped, tradition is tradition, and if it avoids and does not fight, even if it can leave, it will be expelled from the tribe by the tribe at that time.
The Whig clenched the axe in his hand and gave his name.
"Whig!"
"Richard!"
At the same time as announcing his name, Richard drew his two knives and pointed at the Whig, while the other werewolves around him automatically formed a circle.
According to the tradition of the werewolf clan, when two werewolf tribes meet, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the wolf kings of the two tribes will come forward, report each other's names, and then have a one-on-one duel.
The victor's clan swallows up the loser's tribe, and the defeated wolf king is either killed in battle or expelled after defeat, in short, nothing good will end.
So sometimes, choosing to take the initiative to submit is a good way to protect yourself.
It's a pity that this Whig can't bear his wolf throne.
Without hesitation, I saw Richard, who was good at fast attack, exert a force with his legs, and directly waved the double knife in his hand to attack.
Richard's heads-up strength is already strong, coupled with the fact that he has learned the playing routine of the double-knife wolf warrior, and now his strength has reached a higher level.
The moment the attack was launched, the Whig was already seeing blood in just one face, causing a burst of exclamations from the other party's werewolves.
None of the werewolves on the opposite side thought that their powerful wolf king would be injured in a duel of the same clan.
In this regard, the Whig's heart also sank.
This Richard's attack was so fast, so fast that it didn't expect.
However, it did not know that Richard's offensive had only just begun.
With the bonus of the double knife wolf, Richard's attack speed has become faster and faster, and the double knife in his hand has turned into a series of afterimages.
After three rounds, the Whigs were completely overwhelmed.
For a moment, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and at the same time as he slashed through the Whig's attack, another bronze war knife slashed at the Whig's neck without hesitation, and between the knife in his hand, a hideous wolf head was suddenly thrown out.
In this duel, the winner was divided in a short period of time.
Richard let out a wolf howl with blood-stained knives in his hands.
This wolf howl is an oath of his victory, and it is also to deter the werewolves on the opposite side and make them submit!
The headless body of the Whig lay to the ground, his neck still bubbling with blood, and Richard's strength was unquestionable.
At this moment, under Richard's intimidation, the werewolves on the opposite side lowered their heads one after another, expressing their obedience to their new wolf king.
The successful co-optation of the werewolves in this large forest is undoubtedly a good thing for Richard.
After sending a werewolf to inform Wang Meng outside, while the matter had been resolved, Richard himself also began to count the number and prepare to bring these werewolves back to the tribal residence, in his opinion, the werewolf tribe that has developed now is many times better than this big forest.
After some counting, counting the old and weak women and children, there were three hundred and twenty-one in total.
This amount, if it is placed in the elephant tribe, Zhangxiong will be crazy with joy, but for the werewolf tribe, this number is actually just like that.
While accepting this new batch of werewolves, Richard naturally couldn't help but talk about the current situation of their werewolf tribe, and after entering the sphere of influence of Great Xia, all kinds of rules had to be explained to them.
lest these guys who have never seen the world cause trouble for him again when the time comes.
However, his explanation made the expressions of these werewolves who originally lived in the big forest subtle.
How could they not have imagined that outside, werewolves coexist peacefully with humans, and they are also at the mercy of a human known as "His Majesty the Emperor"?
Looking at the ignorant faces, Richard didn't expect them to figure it out at once, and after bringing them back to the clan, they would slowly educate them.
And during this period, Richard naturally inevitably learned something about this big forest from the mouths of these werewolves.
According to these werewolves, in addition to werewolves, there are many other orc races living in this forest.
For example, kobolds, foxes, cats, and rats.
There may be some other race, but these werewolves are not clear.
After returning to the werewolf tribe, Richard wrote down all the encounters in his trip and sent them to Great Xia City.
When Xia Qi saw this report, the expression on his face suddenly turned grim, he didn't expect that there were so many orcs living in the northern area of the Great Xia Forest.
Regarding the existence of kobolds and wolf-headed people, Xia Qi did not have too many surprises.
Both races have a high fertility rate, especially kobolds, and it is not uncommon for them to give birth to five or six cubs at a time.
On this premise, the two races are quite numerous.
Xia Qi didn't plan to recruit additional kobolds and foxmen, one was because of their own numbers, twenty of their current loyalty.
Among the orc races, kobolds and foxmen are the least loyal, and they are even inferior to the pandamen who joined them later, second only to the bears.
However, under the leadership of Bell, the bears have found a lot of resources and mines for Great Xia, which can be said to be full of contributions.
Combined with the nature of the two races, Xia Qi was really afraid that one day in the future, he would be facing the enemy on the front line, and these two races would directly stab him in the back.
Having said that, at the time of Blue Star, dogs were called the most loyal friends of human beings, and there were many news of dogs loyally protecting their lords, how did this thing completely change when it came to the battlefield of civilization?
In terms of loyalty, it is far inferior to the wolf clan.
After reading this report, Xia Qi gave Richard an unpredictable order to let the werewolf clan go to find the cat people in the forest.
Richard was a little puzzled by this order.
The Catmen are a rather weak race, and it seems that no other orc race can defeat them except the Ratmen.
But if you don't do it, who let this be your majesty's order?
