Instead of staying in the chief's tent, the Sarota witch doctor left in time, and after riding a wolf for several kilometers, he returned to the village he ruled.
The ruling structure of the orcs is extremely simple. The people under the chief basically have no professional titles. The power is divided based on the trust of the chief. A powerful deputy, heir, or witch doctor and shaman like Sarota may each rule one or more of them. Several villages are somewhat similar to the feudal system of human lords.
At this time, when he returned to the village under his rule, the terrified expression on Sarota's face just now disappeared long ago, and his stooped figure straightened up. After entering the tent, he casually placed the wooden staff on the special delicate On the shelf, he changed into a fine linen robe that humans would only make, and put on boots that most orcs would not wear.
Sitting in front of the slightly crude wooden table, Sarota in a long robe is no different from an anthropologist if he only looks at his back, except for his facial features that can prove that he is an orc.
The decoration style inside the Sarota tent is quite different from that of Chief Rohar—although it is also a circular space, the most existing here are books.
Orcs' writing is far less complicated than that of humans and has a long history, and very few orcs can write books, so a large part of the books here are written in the human language of Bullinga—as for the source , naturally has something to do with the duke's son...
"Master Sarota, your student is asking to see you."
Not long after sitting down, a servant’s words came from outside the tent. Sarotta, who was picking up a piece of sandpaper, raised his head and motioned for him to come in—the orc who walked into the tent was young but strong, but he was the same as the others. The difference between the orcs was that his eyes did not have the aggression that orcs generally possess, but on the contrary, they had a cunning similar to Sarota.
"teacher."
The orc stepped up to Sarota's wooden table, bowed to say hello, with a reserved expression and respectful words.
"Heh, I've only been back for a few minutes... It seems that you are very concerned about my next plan?"
Fingertips unconsciously rubbed the dice made of joints, and it could be seen that Sarota did not regard the "student" in front of him as an outsider, and his state at this time did not have any camouflage elements.
The humble student lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Every time I think of what the teacher said to me, I will think... If such a plan is successful, this chaotic kingdom... may really have the hope of unity! So I really Am looking forward to…"
"Oh, it's still too early to say." Sarota threw the voodoo dice casually, and after thinking for a moment, said in a low voice: "It should be considered the best result at the moment, and the chief assigned me a team of seventy people again." The team, together with Xhosa, a wolf cavalry team of hundreds of people, is enough to be fearless of all blows on the human frontier."
"Teacher, Xhotha—"
"Xhosa won't miss." Sarota shook his head, "Don't worry about him, only warriors who have failed before can be truly cautious in doing things. Their team will not be in any danger. The group of scouts saw him, It's all about escaping."
The young orc nodded to show that he was taught, then thought for a while, and asked: "Teacher, I still can't figure it out, why did the team that went to intercept the noble...fail?"
Sarota raised his eyelids slightly, but he didn't show any irritation. Although it was a failed action, when he said it at this time, he didn't make any defense for himself in front of the students:
"Failure. Oh, there are actually not so many reasons. I didn't expect that all the plans would be disrupted by a team of scouts halfway. How could there be such a difficult scout in Finks Village? I don't know, but what I do know is, Next time, I won't give the opponent room to maneuver."
The witch doctor's words were strong and confident. Obviously, those orcs who died could not shake his steel-like determination and will.
"The territory of Efta will gradually fall into chaos under our attack, and the next thing to do is to seize this opportunity..."
"Teacher, didn't the human earl say that he would-"
"He is not always as reliable as he imagined." Sarota waved his hand, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the cooperation with Francis, "After all, we are different from human beings. For them, cooperation is always temporary. That's shortsighted." The guy who betrayed even his relatives for the sake of power... Thinking about it, I really feel sad for human beings."
"When the rainy season is over, we will start to build new outposts again. My students, next we have to deal with those humans and avenge the warriors of the tribe. When the time comes, you will follow me."
Hearing this news, the young orc raised his head excitedly, obviously understanding that Sarota had already recognized his ability—in the orc tribe, such recognition meant that Sarota had decided to use the "witch doctor" The profession is passed on to the young apprentice.
As if he had already seen those bright prospects, the most proud student of Sarota bowed his head deeply and said loudly:
"Student Zoro...follow your footsteps forever!"
… … …. .
After the heavy rain, the air always carries the unique fresh smell of the grassland.
In a mild and not hot climate, Nolan Village always seems to be in this calm posture. Since August, there have always been caravans traveling between these villages, sometimes with eight or nine horses. The carriages are loaded with all kinds of goods, and they stop in the villages to sell some things that farmers and commoners find rare.
In fact, the merchants also take care of some news transmission. Sometimes bards will perform here, or sing some songs, win some applause and copper coins, and sometimes talk about the recent gossip that happened in the kingdom—such as The wife of a certain duke is cheating, and a certain lord is throwing a glove at someone for a duel, and so on.
During the period, Rody relied on a few copper coins in exchange for news about Sally. Sounds good or bad: Francis's ugly face was not discovered by the commoners, and he was still wandering between various banquets, and Sally was still safely staying in the monastery. Presumably the two of them are still secretly at this time Layout, waiting for the next opportunity to do it.
Temporary stalemate, this is good news for Roddy.
Rody has a lot of things to do in his mind, but there are priorities. Now that the rainy season is not over, it is a good opportunity to eliminate the orc threat as much as possible. Naturally, Rody will not think about how to deal with Luciferon first. The family's housework, what he is doing now is to hurt and scare the orcs—with a team of less than 30 people, let the other party fall into more intense civil strife, thereby weakening their strength.
As for the rest of the plan, he has already sorted it out on parchment, about business, politics, and connections, he has written everything he can think of, just waiting to implement it one by one.
The bow-making and forging materials have been prepared long ago, but Rody didn't immediately start making new weapons because of a problem about "skill level"...
The main reason lies in the level of the item: the equipment that Rody can make can only be below his own level. Just like the "Safari Suit", although the attribute is fierce, it is level 4 after all. If it is level 6 or 8, the bonus may be half as much. So after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to postpone the date of making a new bow. After his upgrade journey is over, it is more cost-effective to directly manufacture a higher-level bow.
And these days, when he modified the leather armor for all the soldiers in the team and used various advanced materials to strengthen it, he also discovered some differences from the past-when the materials used were a little more complicated, what could be done with "system assistance" in the past step, it becomes extremely difficult.
It's okay to use a single material such as the "safari suit", but when he changed to fine-tuning and strengthening these leather armors, he found that many of the steps could not be completed by himself, and some parts even required seventeen or eight. It took a few tries to barely finish.
At this time, there will be a prompt in the status bar that "the current level of leatherworking is not enough", which makes him very upset.
