Although the orcs are a nation that is good at fighting, it has to be said that this race with muscles in their brains is not good at living.
Although the wild plains are not as fertile as the land in the Bishui Plains, they can be regarded as soil that can grow crops. But the orcs have no interest in farming. Recently, the great earth-shaking hammer Olgar Rock also tried to plant wheat introduced from humans on the wild plains. However, due to the immature technology and the laziness of the orcs, the harvest was unlikely. Going up there is not ideal either.
Therefore, their main source of food is still hunting wild animals on the plains, but this is obviously difficult to satisfy the orcs with their extremely high fertility and large appetite.
After Olgar Rock officially unified all the orc territories, the orc population increased rapidly without the consumption of civil war. The shortage of food and the expanding population made the orc warchief depressed for a long time, but at this time, humans launched an attack on the orcs.
Although he was very angry at the provocation of humans, even Olgar Rock had to admit that if it were not for the invasion of humans, a large-scale famine would undoubtedly break out in the newly born orc empire, and countless orcs would starve to death.
Death in battle or starvation, although the result is the same, there is a huge difference between these two ways of death for the orcs. All proud orc warriors will choose the former without hesitation. Therefore, Olga Rock was not in a hurry to end the war. He carefully controlled the situation while working hard to find a way to solve the food problem.
This is already the best situation at present. The war has not only reduced the population of the orcs, but also continuously enhanced the quality of the orc warriors. The southern part of the wilderness is like a steel furnace. Only the best steel embryos and the strongest warriors are worthy of living, can have the right to survive, and can enjoy the few food.
This may sound cruel, but it was the best choice Olga Roque could have made. And for the orcs, whose concept of "power or death" has been deeply rooted in their minds, they don't think there is anything wrong with the warchief's decision.
A two-hundred-person orc patrol was walking on the wild plains, half of which were rookie warriors. They are all the strongest young men selected from each tribe. Some have strength and courage, and they consider themselves to be brave and proud warriors.
But in the eyes of the other half of the veterans, they are still just a group of rookies, a group of child soldiers who have never killed anyone and seen blood.
"Mordrick, please be honest with me. We are going to patrol and fight now, not to hunt!" The orc captain led by him yelled at a young orc. This young orc was always jumping up and down, and would jump up and down from time to time. He let out an excited growl, causing the team to become slightly confused.
"But we are about to fight! Father... Captain, our blood is boiling, and power and glory are waiting for us!" The young orc named Mordrick roared loudly, and then several other young orcs with him also shouted roared in agreement.
The orc captain glanced at Mordric proudly. His son was the strongest and tallest among the orc recruits. He would definitely become a powerful and brave orc warrior, at least that's what he thought.
"Listen, boys, most of you are participating in the battle for the first time. Maybe you have strength and vitality. But the battle is not based on these alone to win. If you want to be recognized by your tribe, you want to get The praise of the great Earth-Shaking Hammer, then you must grow up as quickly as possible in the battle. And the premise of all this is to learn to survive." Although he had already lectured before setting off, looking at the restless group in front of him Guy, he felt it was necessary to repeat it again.
"That's right, Captain, and in order to survive, we must obey your command." Mordrick said the next words first, causing the team to burst into laughter.
The orc captain glanced at his son helplessly, and then said seriously: "Yes, you must obey my command, that's the only way..."
Before the orc captain finished speaking, the orc who was responsible for watching inside yelled: "Captain, we seem to have spotted a human team ahead."
The orc captain was suddenly shocked. He had been joining the patrol for more than a year. According to his knowledge, this area should still be a safe area. But he didn't expect that a human team would dare to go deep here alone. He felt that this team might pose a threat to the tribes living inside. So I was going to send a messenger back to inform the nearby tribes to avoid being attacked.
But before he could give the order, several young orcs headed by Modric let out an excited roar, then knocked away the surrounding veterans and rushed forward.
Under the leadership of Mordric, the blood of almost all the orc recruits boiled. They completely ignored the orc captain and rushed with Mordric.
"Mordric! Come back! You all come back quickly and obey the orders!" the orcs yelled, but it was of no use. The excited orc boys couldn't listen to the captain's orders at all.
Seeing many of his companions rushing over after him, Mordric was very proud of his bravery and determination. You will be the first vanguard to break into the enemy's formation!
Only after he got closer did he see clearly that it was just a human team of more than twenty people. Although their weapons and equipment looked very sophisticated, they looked thin and small, with no strength at all.
What's more important is that there are seventy or eighty companions behind him, while there are only twenty on the opposite side. The gap in number is very large!
Mordric licked his lips excitedly. He couldn't wait to taste the feeling of killing enemies with his axe.
Behind Modric, the entire orc team followed. The orc captain couldn't just watch his son die, so he chose to attack with the whole team. Anyway, the number of people in this human team was really small, so annihilation shouldn't be a big problem.
"Xiao Lei, are you not cheating on me? Are there really a lot of new recruits?" Kordak couldn't help but feel a headache as he looked at the orcs running towards him with great momentum.
"Boss, are you still worried about my work? I've been following them for an hour, and about half of the orcs were chirping and jumping up and down along the way. They must be new recruits!" Regnar's chest was beating loudly.
"Why do you care so much? Just kill them all." Vera said and took out her enchanted longbow.
Because of Field's existence, Vera also wanted to deliberately show her growth in front of her father. She took out four arrows in one breath, channeled her fighting spirit, and displayed Field's most proud archery fighting skill, "Storm of Arrows."
Four arrows with wind attribute fighting spirit flew out. Since the distance was far away, Vera chose to throw them. But even so, three orcs lost their lives immediately, and the remaining one had his thigh scratched. He who was rushing forward immediately fell to the ground, and was almost trampled to death by his companions.
Field's eyes flashed with relief when he saw his daughter doing so well. Facing the orcs charging at him fiercely, Field showed no trace of nervousness or trembling, and even calmly pointed out some flaws in Vera's actions just now.
After saying that, he also took out the long bow Kordak gave him, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and three arrows shot out in response.
But just when Vera lamented that her father was no longer what he was before, Field's hands drew out three arrows again like lightning and shot out. Although the six arrows were shot half a second apart, they scattered in all directions. Each arrow found its own target as if spiritually. They shot through the heads of six orcs at the same time.
Seeing Field performing such powerful archery skills, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in awe, and Kordak even took this opportunity to flatter him. Looking at his posture, he wanted to make Field his teacher on the spot.
"Girl, your father hasn't neglected his archery skills in the past few years, has he?" Field said proudly.
"The archery skills of Mr. Field and Miss Vera are indeed amazing. It seems that this commission was not in vain." Fals also praised, and then began to sing magic.
Two seconds later, a cloud of dark green gas fell from the sky and landed on the orc team. The twenty orcs surrounded fell to the ground on the spot, foaming at the mouth and all over their bodies.
It twitched, and after a while there was no movement.
A fifth-level conjuration spell, Death Cloud Technique. It can be said to be the most damaging area damage spell among the fifth-level spells.
"No!" Mordric shouted in horror. He was wounded in the thigh by Vera's arrow at the beginning, and he was stunned when he fell to the ground.
No, this was completely different from what he had originally imagined. He had thought that with his courage and a large number of companions, he could easily break through the defense of this human team and then tear them into pieces.
But the first wave of attacks by the human team ruthlessly shattered his illusions. Not only was he shot down at the beginning, but several of his companions died directly under this round of projectiles.
They had been talking excitedly to themselves about power just a few minutes ago, about how they would be feared in the tribe after receiving the honor. But they died, and they completely lost their lives before they even saw what the enemy looked like.
If the first two projectiles shattered his fantasy and returned him to the ruthless reality, the following Death Cloud Technique drove him directly from reality into hell. More than twenty companions died in an instant. They were so strong and energetic, following their fearless charge, but in the blink of an eye they could no longer move. All this is because of my own impulse
Just when Mordrick felt guilty and frightened, the orc captain finally rushed over. He grabbed his son who was lying on the ground and shouted: "Stand up!"
