V7.Chapter 27

The Orcs are over. Want to see?

As early as when they attacked the Qiuye Plain, the orcs paid a lot of casualties, especially in the battle of the siege of the Fallen Leaves City, Sauron not only descended in the form of an incarnation, but also used the dragon covenant to summon the ancient brass dragon. This time the half-orcs lost even more warriors. The ancient brass dragons used their dragon breath to plow the ground several times. Thousands of people died on the spot. Later, the casualties were counted. The Orcs lost nearly 6,000 adult warriors in a single siege.

Although this casualty is not small, it is still within the tolerance range of a race.

The population of half-orcs is as high as several hundred thousand, and the half-elves of Fallen Leaves City are between 200,000 and 250,000. The scale of half-orcs is slightly larger, and it is estimated that it can reach more than 300,000. After deducting the old and weak, women and children, the ratio of these people who can take up arms to fight is about 3:1, which means that if all the orcs are mobilized, they can make up an army of 100,000 people.

100,000 people.

It sounds like a lot, but in fact this is the whole background of the half-orc race. The backward productivity of this era, and the civilization between farming and nomadic forms, have led to the loss of half-orcs if adult warriors are too great, even There is no way to maintain the most basic production farming. The backward civilization has greatly restricted the expansion of the population. The half-orc attack on the Akiba Plain has the meaning of breaking the boat, and paying a certain percentage of casualties is still within Eugene's tolerance.

But.

All this is just the beginning. After the siege, Eugene once again led his army to encounter Sauron.

And the casualties paid this time are even more astonishing. The strength of the army of Modo City and the field battle on the Orc Plains is not much different, but after the baptism of the artillery fire of Modo City, the loss of the Orcs is very amazing.

In the two battles before and after, Eugene lost tens of thousands of people at the hands of Sauron, and the original loss was close to 20,000 to 30,000 people.

This is equal to about one-twelfth of the total population of Orcs!

and.

These were all adult half-orc warriors. If it weren't for the fact that these two losses were too great, Eugene would not have been able to separate himself from the other side of the Agate River to cultivate his life and give Fallen Leaves City such a long respite.

Although these losses hurt the Orcs, they still haven't hurt the roots.

According to Eugene's original plan. It is planned to occupy this land and then develop agriculture. It is impossible for the Orc race to have a population of millions and tens of millions like humans and elves just relying on nomadic hunting. So Eugene is going to recuperate in silence, and use the fertile land of the Autumn Leaf Plain to vigorously develop agriculture, as long as there is enough food supply. The size of the Orc race will grow exponentially. For Eugene, as long as it takes ten years to cultivate and recuperate, the population of orcs can exceed one million. At that time, the army of the tribe will be stronger than any human kingdom.

But.

The catastrophe of the saints has come.

The demon's attack directly destroyed all of Eugene's hopes, and a brutal battle directly cost the Orc clan everything.

The adult warriors of the Orc clan are only a third of what they used to be.

As many as 50,000 or 60,000 casualties, almost every family of the entire race was killed. There are only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers left, let alone taking Fallen Leaves City, I am afraid that even the current land cannot be defended. Moreover, the Orcs themselves are not good at farming to the end of the race. This time the attack is the accumulation of the past 20 years, and the war has already consumed a lot of materials. The farmland Eugene ordered to clear the Autumn Leaf Plains is now almost completely destroyed by the war, which means they are now cornered, without an army or food.

Eugene's face grew older.

The first order it issued after returning to the clan was to migrate. There was no way to defend it here. The first attack of the demons may cause a second attack.

It must preserve the fire of the race, or the Orcs really risk perishing in this world.

Now the clan can only huddle and linger, silently licking the wounds to gather strength. As long as they can survive this crisis, there is still hope for the Orcs to rise.

The clan's winter has come.

There are less than 30,000 or 40,000 adult orcs who need to support a population of over 200,000. Although there are many adult female orcs, they can also hunt and farm, but in the future, the clan will probably be huge just by feeding offspring. burden. Their most elite strength has been exhausted, and the half-orcs who are left with only old and weak women and children in the race may become the targets of ogres, gnolls, lizardmen, and even half-elves at any time for revenge.

Now any war is likely to drag the Orcs into the abyss of doom!

The Orcs retreated.

They occupied the land with great casualties, and now they have left behind their corpses, retreating from the Agate River to the edge of the Autumn Leaves Plain.

The Orcs gave up at least two-thirds of the land.

They migrated to the very edge, but not to the original barren highlands. Because Eugene couldn't give up the fertile farmland that was first cultivated.

Only these farmlands can guarantee that the Orcs will not starve to death in the next few years!

The sky is blood red. ??

For days after a major war ended, the distant sky seemed to be blood red. The second wave of the catastrophe of the saints is almost over. Some cities have been completely destroyed, while some places are still safe and sound. Eugene receives news from all sides. The news that made it feel very depressing is that because the orcs built the stockade in the wild, in this wave of demon attacks, most of the abyss demons who did not want to attack the city actually attacked the orcs, while the leaves city was only affected by a small share. Demon attack.

There are nearly ten cities in the material plane, and hundreds of towns have been destroyed. This disaster is not only affected by humans, other races such as elves, dwarves, orcs, halflings, lizardmen, gnolls and so on have been affected.

The southern edge of the Elf Forest turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Dark Iron Castle was turned into ruins by a Balor lord.

The Frostblade clan of the orcs was nearly wiped out.

The only ones who suffered less damage in the entire shock were the halflings, whose main god fell to the mortal world ahead of schedule and repelled the demon army in the form of a saint.

Today, the chief deity of the halflings should be the first deity standing in the clear.

She has appeared.

Moreover, this powerful goddess is in the Shire.

The light of dusk falls.

Eugene was wearily walking among the cultivated fields. After these few days, the pain of the clan was healing. No matter what happened, the living people always have to work hard for tomorrow.

Eugene was very tired during this time.

Although most of the clan still supports it, but because of this loss. Some orcs have turned against it, arguing that it is what has brought the clan to its present state.

If he hadn't attacked the half-elves, all of this would not have happened today.

have no choice.

Originally, these people actively advocated to capture the Fallen Leaf City in one breath and completely eliminate the main battle faction that was occupying the plains by the half-elves. Now it turns all the blame on Eugene.

Eugene doesn't have any explanation for this, and it doesn't need any explanation.

Although it is full of guilt towards the clan, most of the Orcs still respect it and regard it as the leader of the Orc clan.

Everything has been born.

For Eugene, the most important thing is how to let the clan get through this difficult time, rather than trying to shirk responsibility.

Night falls.

The old figure of Eugene stood up from the field. It clapped the palm of its hand to shake the mud off its palm, and then walked towards its tent. It is difficult for outsiders to imagine that a chief of a race would actually go to the fields to farm, but in fact, the development of the orcs from nomadic to farming in the past few decades was entirely promoted by Eugene alone.

even.

In order to learn the farming skills of human beings, it once carefully learned from an experienced old farmer of human beings as a legendary professional.

The farming of the entire clan is taught by it.

Eugene taught them how to irrigate, how to lay out ditches, how to sow and harvest, and how to cultivate meticulously. If he hadn't seen all of this with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that a peerless powerhouse who could beat the ancient dragon head-on could be like an old farmer. Teach your people how to sow the fields in the fields.

Eugene is not like all Orcs.

Having traveled throughout the Big 6, it firmly believes in one point. That is, only farming can free the Orcs from their current predicament, and only farming can make the Orcs grow like humans.

Attacking half-elves is only for these lands, and half-elves are chosen only because they are the weakest.

It's getting darker.

Eugene only sleeps three hours a day, so he still has plenty of free time.

It's going out for a look.

However, just as Eugene was about to step out of the tent, it suddenly seemed to be aware of something, the figure disappeared in place in an instant, and the next moment appeared hundreds of meters away, and the whole person rose like an eagle. , it reached out and grasped the spear on its back. Approaching a mountain in the distance.

It sensed a familiar aura.

That is the power of the gods!

The other party didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, just as if he wanted to draw it out.

boom.

Eugene's burly figure fell to the ground, a hazy figure in its sight, completely shrouded in shadows. Although the two sides once fought in the vicinity of Fallen Leaves City. But it wasn't until today that Eugene really saw what the other party looked like.

A young half-elf who is a little over the top.

In contrast, it has entered its twilight years, and even life is about to come to an end.

"What are you here for?"

Eugene clenched the war spear on alert, full of fear for the strength of the person in front of him, and did not believe that he came here without a purpose.

The gods are not so boring.

Facing Eugene's alert look, the half-elf in front of him seemed to smile. Slowly said: "Cooperation."

Eugene frowned.

There was a hint of doubt on its face, because it felt that it was impossible for him to cooperate with the people in front of him. Half-orcs and half-elves were already blood-feeling, the other party was the true god who sheltered half-elves, and Eugene was the backbone of the half-orcs. It is good that the two sides meet without fighting immediately, and there is no possibility of cooperation with each other at all.

"Long story short."

Sauron looked at Eugene, who was on guard in front of him, and said slowly: "I am very aware of your current predicament. The current situation of the orcs can already be said to be a dead end."

"but!"

"Moduo City can provide you with a batch of food and supplies. It can also control Fallen Leaf City without attacking you, giving you some precious breathing time."

"This batch of supplies should be enough for you to support you for a while! I believe that it is no problem to protect the clan through this crisis with your ability."

"And I need you to do only one thing!"

"That's to help me kill someone."

"or."

"It should be said that it is a true god."

Eugene was silent, and after a long time he said solemnly: "Who!?"

A gloomy smile appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth, and he said slowly, "Lord of Shadows!"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Eugene's face.

But before it could speak, Sauron continued: "After this is done, I will call the shots in the name of the god of half-elf and assign all the land north of the Manau River to you!"

Eugene was instantly moved when he heard the words! ! !
