A fierce werewolf army rode giant wolves and advanced rapidly in the forest. A nearly two-meter-tall werewolf leader at the front looked at the Lunar Star obscured by clouds in the sky. The ferocious wolf head grinned and said in the language of the werewolf tribe. .

"Quick, we have to reach the tauren city in front of us before dawn. What qualifications do these damn tauren have to occupy the most fertile land here? We, the werewolves, are the masters here. We have to kill them all and take their land away. Grab it!"

"Yes! Kill them all!" the werewolf army responded, controlling the giant wolves at their feet to speed them up.

Under the cover of darkness, the werewolf army rushed through dozens of miles of wild mountains and forests without stopping at all. About an hour later, a small city appeared in front of the werewolf army.

The werewolf leader stretched out his hand, and the well-trained werewolf army controlled the giant wolf to slowly stop and hide in the dense forest.

It was a small city, covering an area of 200,000 square meters, and there were about thousands of tauren inside. The outside was just a three-meter-high city wall made of crude earth and stone. A dozen sentry towers were distributed on the four walls, each side There are only four seats.

The werewolf leader observed for a moment, and then gave an order. Under the cover of darkness, the werewolf army stormed the tauren city and rushed towards a city gate at an extremely fast speed.

During this process, when the vigilant tauren on the sentry tower discovered it, the werewolf at the front was already less than fifty meters away from the city gate.

"Enemy attack!"

A shrill and shrill sound pierced the silent night, awakening the sleeping tauren in the city, and causing the werewolf army to increase its speed again.

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"

Several tauren on the sentry tower quickly picked up their bows and arrows, shot out arrows, and killed two or three werewolf soldiers who could not dodge, but it did not have much impact on the overall situation.

As expected, the werewolf army broke through the wooden city gate like a sharp sword, crossed the city wall, and penetrated into the tauren city.

Then a small team of ten werewolf soldiers started killing people in the city. After a while, the tauren who just got up from bed after hearing the "enemy attack" and picked up weapons suffered heavy casualties.

Although the tauren were brave, most of them had just woken up from sleep because they were not prepared in advance. They faced several werewolves alone. Therefore, after the werewolf army who were cavalry charged back and forth several times, the tauren were completely killed and injured.

The tauren leader held a huge stone ax in each hand. He was extremely angry as he looked at the scenes of tragedy in front of him. He shouted, rushed into the werewolf army, and swept the stone ax forward. Several werewolf soldiers broke their bones and tendons in an instant, vomiting blood, and it seemed that they would not survive.

The stone ax turned again and slashed downwards. Suddenly, the giant wolf ridden by the werewolf soldiers screamed, and its body was torn in half. Blood and internal organs were sprinkled on the ground, which was extremely terrifying.

The werewolf leader snorted coldly, slapped the giant wolf, and instantly accelerated to the front of the tauren leader. With a spear made from the bones of the giant beast in his hand, he forced back the tauren leader who was killing everyone.

The tauren leader roared and fought with the werewolf leader. However, the werewolf army was outnumbered. In the end, only the tauren leader was left. He was exhausted and died under the werewolf leader's gun!

When the tauren leader was about to die, he stared at the werewolf leader in front of him and said: "You guys, one day the beast god will make you pay the price!"

The werewolf leader smiled disdainfully and chopped off the head of the tauren leader, "The great beast god doesn't care about your life or death."

The werewolf army killed all the tauren who were taller than the giant wolves, and then drove away the captured tauren women and children, took all the property here and left, and burned the city to ashes.

Scenes such as the werewolf army slaughtering a tauren city continued to occur on the land in the northwest of Yuanjie Continent.

When other intelligent races developed their own races, from hunting civilization to farming civilization, and before coming into contact with other intelligent races, the orcs had already been fighting and killing each other endlessly.

In order to obtain space and food for survival, the contradictions between the various races of orcs became deeper and deeper. Finally, in the 630th year of the birth of the intelligent race, during a conflict between the lion-men and the kobolds for a fertile territory, The war engulfing all the orc races has begun.

The flames of war ignited this land, and countless orc tribes were destroyed in the war. The scale of the war became larger and larger. At the same time, the annexation between races became more and more intense. The conflict and integration of different cultures between the races continued to burst out civilization. of sparks.

First of all, in order to resist the invasion and sneak attack of the enemy, the tribes surrounded by simple wooden fences were transformed into cities protected by walls built of soil and stones. Large and small cities were spread all over the northwest, and the large cities contained tens of thousands of orcs. , there were only a thousand orcs, and the orc tribes entered the city-state era.

War also promotes the evolution of weapons. Weapons smelted from bronze shine in wars. Bronze sharp weapons can easily cut off stone swords, bone spears, and cut off the heads of enemies. The power of bronze weapons has surprised all races and made them They have increased their efforts to mine ores, and the number of artifacts made of bronze has continued to increase.

At the same time, in order to meet the large amount of labor required to build cities and mine mineral veins, the defeated tribal races no longer massacred all their tribesmen once defeated, but were demoted to lowly slaves and sent to build city walls or mines to mine ore. Of course, there were also slaves who served as cannon fodder for war.

In order to avoid being exterminated in the war, the weak racial tribes surrendered to the powerful races and prayed for protection. In order to strengthen their own strength, the powerful races were also willing to accept the submission of the other party. The strong will always be strong, and the weak will remain weak. .

In addition, in order to allow normal language exchanges between different orc races, the languages of each race continued to evolve, and a new orc lingua franca was born, and all races used the orc lingua franca one after another.

Finally, after decades of wars, large and small, in the 673rd year of the birth of the intelligent race, the orc tribes, headed by more than a dozen races such as the lion tribe, the tiger tribe, the snake tribe, and the ape tribe, established their own The city-state government and the surrounding city-state races respected these dozen city-states and surrendered to them. The turbulent northwest land calmed down...

In the following hundreds of years, although the area of the Yuanjie Continent continued to expand, the territories of the major intelligent races expanded at a faster rate. Naturally and inevitably, they came into contact with other races and communicated with each other.

However, by this time, the territories of each tribe had already been able to satisfy their own population, so there was no large-scale war between them like the orc tribe, but more exchanges and integration between different civilizations.

Take the human race for example. After thousands of years of reproduction, their population has only reached over one million. However, the human race’s footprints cover more than one million square kilometers. Therefore, there is no need to go to war with foreign races to compete for territory. They will have more The focus is on internal development and unification.

On the Yuanjie Continent, large and small cities stood on the wilderness, mountains, and plains. The society began to be divided into different classes such as nobles, commoners, and slaves. With the division of different official positions and clergy, there was a trace of The embryonic form of a country.

With the arrival of the 1,200th year, the sleeping supreme will gradually awakens...
