Chapter 51: Trouble Really Comes

"Here's the trouble."

It was the morning of ten days later, and at this time, the contents of Juan's stomach had been cleared for ten consecutive days.

But that's not the source of the trouble, at least not yet.

"Here's the trouble, Juan." Morgan took a bite of the fritter and said with a lightness as if it didn't matter, "There are 100,000 orcs. ”

"Yes, the trouble is coming." Juan repeated again.

He carefully ate the meat bun to avoid choking: "What is the name of the orc patriarch, has it issued an order for the whole clan to relocate?" ”

"No, the spy said, Jack and the orc chief, whose name is Durotan, had a quarrel.

"Jack wants to move south immediately, and Patriarch Durotan feels that he needs to be further probed."

Juan was a little surprised: "This orc patriarch named Durotan is very fat, he actually dares to contradict Jack, and he is not afraid of being killed by Jack?"

"Anyway, it's easy for Jack, who has a 'ghost', to take out any humanoid."

Morgan explained: "Durotan has a very high prestige among the orcs, and if it dies, the orc tribe is likely to split immediately, which is why it dares to stand up to Jack. ”

Juan had an idea: "If we kill Durotan, the orcs will be much less of a threat." ”

"But who will be sent to kill Durotan?"

"Take the head of the general in the army of 100,000, Morgan, this is a great honor, why don't you try it?"

"Hehe, but the real difficulty is not the 100,000 orcs, but Durotan itself."

Morgan stopped here and began to eat fritters, as if chewing them slowly was the most important thing in the world.

Juan is not as nervous as he was ten days ago, he has adjusted his mentality, so knowing that Morgan is waiting for him to ask, he slowly eats the buns, but he doesn't ask.

Morgan ate all the fritters, as if suddenly remembering that the conversation was not over yet:

"The main reason why the spies were able to find out so much information was because the orc tribe was chaotic and scattered.

"Their organizational structure is based on blood related families, and then the well-connected families form settlements and elect the strongest orcs as small chiefs.

"And the settlements and settlements formed groups, and the strongest orcs were elected as the great chiefs.

"There is no stable oath relationship between these settlements and communities, and they are completely maintained by strength.

"Ordinary orcs can challenge the little chieftain and take the opponent's place after defeating the opponent; The Lesser Chieftain can also challenge the BigChief, defeating the Boss and taking the opponent's place. ”

"And the different communities often attack each other, plunder each other's property, and swallow each other's population.

"At the same time, for the sake of profit, the little chief can also lead his own settlement without hesitation, rebel against the original community, and join other communities."

Juan ate all the meat buns, and he interjected: "It's so messy, what's the difference between this and a plate of loose sand, why haven't they become extinct due to internal friction?" ”

"That's right, the original orcs were just a plate of loose sand, and the reason why they didn't become extinct because of internal friction was entirely because they all followed a tradition - duel."

"I've seen this, the leader of the orc reconnaissance team lost the duel, and the whole team surrendered."

"Yes, it is this tradition that allows their disputes to end with minimal cost.

"So despite the constant disputes between them and between them, the casualties were not serious.

"On the contrary, thanks to the amazing fecundity of the orcs, they are able to grow stronger."

"I see, but what does this have to do with the orc patriarch Durotan?" Juan couldn't help but ask.

Morgan didn't sell it again this time: "The orcs didn't have a patriarch, but Durotan single-handedly challenged all the orcs, small chiefs, and big chiefs who were not convinced by him one by one.

"It is said that it fought thousands of duels to the death.

"In the end, all the orcs recognized its strength and revered it as their patriarch."

"Holy, so awesome?!"

"It's that awesome."

"It seems that it will be a bit difficult to kill it."

"It's very difficult."

Juan pondered for a moment, then said, "Now I understand why Jack didn't kill Durotan.

"Because if you kill it, the orcs will become a plate of loose sand again, which is not conducive to Jack's mobilization of the orc's power."

Morgan added, "If Jack wants to replace Durotan and reunite the orcs, he'll have to go through a thousand duels. ”

Juan waved his hand and said, "What Jack can't do, the 'ghost' he took away uses crystal energy, he has no place to recharge, and he will definitely not be able to hold so many duels." ”

After a brief silence, Juan came up with another idea:

"Since the orcs are so scattered, can we sow discord and let them fight on their own?"

Morgan nodded and shook his head.

Juan was confused: "Are you for or against?" ”

Morgan explained: "The orcs do not obey each other, except for the fact that they respect Durotan as their leader and obey Durotan's orders.

"You want to provoke them, and that's very easy.

"In fact, there is no need to provoke, there is no shortage of fights, robberies, and thefts between them.

"And as long as it doesn't make too much trouble, Durotan won't care."

"What if it gets big?"

"If it's really a big fuss, Durotan will adjudicate, and no orc will dare to disobey its ruling."

Juan sighed: "I understand, a small fight can't hurt the vitality of the orc tribe, if it is bigger, Durotan can settle it with a word."

"So the problem is back to square one, let's think about how to resist the orc army.

"Morgan, have your spies detected when Durontan's second wave of temptations will be dispatched?"

"No, it's not that he hasn't come out, but Durotan hasn't organized a second wave of tentative forces yet."

"So inefficient?"

"You just think about how they're organized."

"Again, so to speak, we still have time."

After Juan finished speaking, he turned his head and instructed the halfling attendant: "Go and call Thorin." ”

Thorin came at a trot, he ran up to Juan, "snapped" upright, raised his right arm and saluted: "Hi San Juan!" ”

Juan put his fingers together and showed the palm of his right hand in return: "Hi Sheng! ”

Then he asked, "Thorin, you are the most experienced warrior we have here, and I wonder how armies usually do against a large number of poorly equipped barbarians?" ”

"Report to the FΓΌhrer, we usually wipe them out with intensive fire!"

"This, what if you can't muster up dense firepower?"

"Then strengthen the defense and establish a three-dimensional fortification with the tower as the central node and the tunnels, barbed wire, and mine arrays as the auxiliary."

"Good idea, after all, Thorin, I now appoint you as the front commander, and I ask you, in the right place, to build a line of defense against the northern orcs."

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
