Chapter 99 Safari II
This is a brown-skinned tribe, indicating that they are orcs who have been living and breeding in the Bloodstained Lands. Bayi Chinese Network - Most of the orc tribes who come down from the western highlands are green or dark-skinned.
The orc tribes in the Bloodstained Lands are not easy to mess with, even if they are small tribes, there are often fierce and strong people who exceed level twelve. Orcs are natural hunters and warriors, able to adapt to difficult environments, extremely tenacious and very difficult to capture. On the other hand, the violent orcs were difficult to control, and were more often sent to underground mines to work as coolies until they died of exhaustion, and a few were used as gladiators in the gladiatorial arena. But if you can't form a cannon fodder army, the value of the orcs drops a lot. Therefore, the price of orc slaves has always been low, even lower than that of the sandmen. The large number of slave catchers rarely had the idea of fighting the orcs. The slave hunting team, also led by a level fourteen warrior, is much easier and more profitable than the orcs, whether it is a sandman or a barbarian.
Orcs are very procreational, although their natural lifespan is two-thirds of that of humans, their fertility is more than double, and young children over 10 years old are qualified warriors. In addition, the Orcs of the Bloodstained Lands had no farming habits, and their food source consisted of picking fruits and digging for plant roots, and their meat came from hunting various animals. The meat here does not exclude other sapient races, although in the season when there is no shortage of food, the sapient races are used to feed their wild wolves.
So every once in a while, when the orcs in the Bloodstained Lands multiplied and increased dangerously, the various slave traders would band together to carry out a sweep to reduce the number of orcs, maintain the smooth trade routes, and prevent the brown sea from flooding the land.
A few days ago, Richard met a golden battle banner caravan and brought him such a message, the big hunt operation is about to start again. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse his old friend's invitation.
Standing at the top of the peak, Richard saw a team of orcs of more than a dozen hunters a few kilometers away on their way back. They carried two heavy, fat boars, each of them in high spirits, and it seemed that they would not have to worry about food for the next few days. Around this group of hunters, there were also seven or eight wasteland wolves. To the orcs, these wild wolves were their hounds.
Richard gave the command in his mind.
The Wasteland Wolf suddenly stopped, growled uneasily, and spun nervously in place. The orc hunters were alert, laid down their prey, clenched their weapons, and let out a menacing roar at the rocky pillars on either side of the road. Several large wolves appeared on the rocks, and the menacing aura caused the wasteland wolves to bark and slowly retreat. The orcs have not yet realized that a deadly threat has appeared, they do not recognize the wind fangs, but they are not afraid of wolves.
But Wind Tooth is not a wolf after all, but a combat weapon.
A sharp scream rang out in the air, and a sharp arrow was nailed into the chest of an orc until it was featherless. The fact that this orc was able to get up after falling to the ground shows the strength of his vitality. But the earth around him began to shake, and the sound of horses' hooves began to roar from far and near, and then began to roar!
Standing at the top of the peak, Richard saw the sandfolk cavalry rushing towards the hunter squad of the orcs under the guidance of a few wind fangs, and knew that these orcs were finished.
The barbarian warriors, led by the two ogres, penetrated into the middle of the hunter squad and the orc camp to set up a defensive line. Dozens of orcs poured out of the camp and hit the barbarian line headlong.
Gonder and the orc warriors and other knights spared the orcs who rushed out of the camp to support, and turned around and rushed into the empty orc camp. His target is the orc wizard and the priest.
The orcs who rushed out of the camp were taken aback and ran back with a roar. However, the barbarian warriors then pursued and killed, and in an instant they routed the main force of the orcs.
Fierce resistance lasted only a few minutes, and the battle turned into a massacre.
When all the adult orcs, male and female, were killed in battle, the orcs gave up their resistance. However, there were less than fifty orcs left in the tribe of two hundred people, all of whom were old and young orcs. Richard also paid the price of more than twenty slave warriors. Such fierce resistance was not without reason, and since Gonder slashed the sacrifice to death with an axe, all the orcs have gone berserk.
Richard blessed himself with the Feather Fall Technique, jumping directly from the cliff, and the height of dozens of meters was enough for the Feather Fall Technique to be effective.
He floated directly down into the camp, strode to the altar, kicked away the sacrificial corpse, and his eyes fell on a stone orc statue on the desk. Less than a meter tall, the orc statue is lifelike, carved out of deep black rock and evenly crystalline. Looking closely, Richard could sense a strange power inside the statue. Similar to the feeling at the Bloodstone Tribe Altar. It was supposed to be the soul of an orc ancestor.
Richard put away the statue, which was the main purpose of his assault on this camp. Then he walked around the orc camp and found nothing else worth mentioning.
Sandru was busy again, and the two thirteenth-level powerful warriors of the orc tribe had the potential to be transformed into black warriors. This has become the norm, and after every battle, Sandru will always be the one who is busy to the end.
While everyone was cleaning up the battlefield, Richard took out a map and marked the camp and the surrounding area on the map. A month ago, the map was almost blank, but now there are many places where clear outlines are visible.
An hour later, Richard vanished into the crimson twilight with his sizable team, leaving behind only the ruined camp and dozens of surviving orcs. It was difficult for this tribe to survive on its own, and it had to be merged into other orc tribes.
From a human perspective, no one cares about the survival of the orc tribe. Just like in the orc kingdom, not many people will care about Richard's life or death.
Orcs are a race that pays great attention to ancestor worship, which is very similar to the orcs of Norland. Almost every orc tribe of size would have an altar for sacrificing and worshipping their ancestors, so they became Richard's target.
Although he had encountered orc tribes in the early days of the safari, Richard did not order an attack. This time, the invitation from the Golden Radiant Battle Banner seemed to clear his last hesitation.
Over the next few days, Richard breached two more orc camps, both of which found altars and statues containing the spirits of their ancestors. Richard remembered that the brood needed this kind of thing. And quicksand is also very interested, she is interested in a qiē has divine powers, as well as items with similar powers.
The Land of Blood is a land of abundance. If you need a statue of an ancestor, go to the orcs and the sandfolk, who also have a strong tradition of ancestor worship. If you need a fighter, go to the slave catcher, many of the slaves captured by the slave catcher will become Richard's warriors, and most of the members of the slave catcher will become the black knights in Sandru's hands. If he wanted wealth, then Richard also often encountered caravans, although most of the time he still used the method of trading, even if it was a cost or symbolic price, but still traded.
As long as you can defeat your enemies, you can almost have anything you need in the Bloodstained Lands.
Although it was not long, Richard had the illusion that this life would never end.
