Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 50:
As the only meaningful empire on the entire main plane, the orc empire is the most worthy power in the world, occupying a huge land.
Even so, it continues to invade and attack its surroundings.
We attacked the snow-covered ice field northward, and the brave barbarians retreated in a row; annexed Greystone Mountains and Behemoth Mountains to the south, and continued to occupy the territory of the Eagle Kingdom; eastward and the Holy Angel Kingdom for a long time tug of war, Bit by bit cannibalize the land bathed in the sun god's glory; only the west side, facing the vast desert, has nothing to do.
Uh, even this side does not seem to be really helpless, but that is the secret of the orc **** system...
Starting from the southern end of the Great Gobi bordering the Greystone Mountains, it has been moving towards the east. It took about a month to enter the hinterland of the orc empire—or the wilderness empire.
Here is the vast grassland. It is truly a sight of cows and sheep in the vast sky and the vast wind blowing through the grass. The orcs thrived on the grasslands. They struggled with the seemingly magnificent but unfriendly natural environment. They grew strong bodies, strong muscles, and fierce hearts.
Of course, there are not really orcs in the orc empire, half-orcs, dwarves, dwarfs, humans... all races. It's just that in this vast land, the status of the orcs is higher than that of other races.
On earth, this kind of undisguised racial discrimination will inevitably be criticized by people. But in this world, racial discrimination is a matter of course. No matter "the upper class" or "the inferior" has no objection to this, it is like India, which claims to have 100 million humans and one billion animals, with a rabbit hat next to it. The panda neighbors have never understood why the billion animals don’t jump up and oppose his mother, but they are very satisfied...
The prairie is vast and sparsely populated, and the tribes are far apart. The only ones responsible for communicating what is needed are the messengers sent by the tribes themselves, but the only traveling merchants who demand money and life.
Here, there are more or fewer traveling merchants, which is really unremarkable.
For example, the Ironshoe Tribe, two more traveling merchants recently came.
They were two uncles and nephews. The uncle was a tall and strong man. He wore a thick and heavy leather armor and carried a big axe. He was quite powerful. The nephew was a thin and clever little boy. Boy, he moves very flexibly, and he settles accounts quickly. He seems to be a very powerful little accountant.
They have a two-horse horse-drawn cart with a lot of daily groceries. Like most traveling merchants, they will stay here for a while and exchange groceries for anything of value.
There are quite a few cunning people among the orcs, who have tried more than once to deceive people as shoddy or with specious things. But even though that nephew was not very old, he had a very strong vision. Whether it was a defective product or a fake, he couldn't escape his eyes. And when he talks about business, he is quite good, and he must be compared. Even the veterans who are good at bargaining can't take advantage of him.
Of course, some people are so embarrassed that they want to use the "trading" technique that the orcs have always admired, that is, to exchange violent "labor" for wealth, and by the way, send the original owner of the wealth to rest in the kingdom of God they believe in. At this time, it was the uncle's turn to come forward. His sturdy figure and strong muscles are indeed not decorations, and the big axe is not a parallel import. Every axe cut is strong, and the weight is not discounted.
As a result of several conflicts, the tribe’s witch doctor has many more customers. The elderly witch doctor is very happy with the unexpected income and sincerely hopes that the couple can stay in the Ironshoe Tribe for a few more days. .
However, the patriarch of the Ironhoof tribe, Alec, known as the "Running Runer," is not so happy. Instinctively tells him that this is not ordinary for his uncle and nephew, and...very dangerous!
The Ironhoof tribe is a centaur tribe. They are the creations of the orc **** "King of Ironhoof". The whole tribe sincerely believes in and worships that fierce and terrifying god. The Ironshoe Tribe is the descendant of the first group of creatures created by His Majesty. There have also been many powerful people in the tribe, and even those who have broken through the last difficulty and stepped into the realm of gods.
However, that is a long time ago.
The iron hoof tribe is now weakened, and there are not many strong men in the tribe. There are more than 3,000 people in the entire tribe, and there is not even a strong man in the legendary realm!
The current strongest members of the Ironhoof Tribe are Patriarch Olik and High Priest Ovira, both of which are the pinnacles of high ranks and are seeking opportunities to step into the realm of legends.
Olik's title is "Run Runer", he runs very fast, even faster than the bird. His endurance is also very good, and he can run for half a month without stopping. He is accustomed to using spears, especially his skill in throwing spears when he is running. He can shoot birds up and down mosquitoes. Old trees that have grown for hundreds of years can also be shot through with a spear. In the war of the Eagle Kingdom, a spear shot a heavily armed knight with his shield through it, making him famous.
Ovira is the direct heir of Ironhoof Blood, the owner of the most noble and powerful bloodline of the Centaur race. Although she is a woman, Ovira is not weak, has a body that perfectly combines strength and beauty, strong and full of wild breath. She is arrogant and fierce, and does not allow anyone with inferior blood to appear near her. Apart from praying, her favorite thing to do is to kill. Although a **** archer and a high-ranking priest, she loves to sweep the battlefield with a huge halberd. Especially when the iron hoof trampled on the enemy's corpse, he would laugh out loud, and thus got the title of "Blood Stompers" that belonged to her.
Olik has always wanted to be favored by this high-ranking priest, but he has thought of many ways to no avail. The Blood Stomp has no interest in men who are weaker than her, and she is also very disdainful of Olek's inferior blood, and she has no verbal respect for the tribal chief.
For this, Olek was full of anger, but had nothing to do.
For orcs who believe in lineage theory, the nobility of lineage is a very important thing, because it means the distance between them and the gods.
Most orcs are the creations of orc gods. The orc gods are divided into two categories. One is the powerful orc gods. For example, the contemporary orc gods are the main gods "the giant dog that devours the sky". Feng was originally a canine man; the other was a powerful beast conferred god, and after being confiscated, he broke away from his own beast identity, chose to join the orc **** system, and created a humanoid race with his own characteristics. For example, the former orc **** is the main deity, "the fierce spirit with iron face" Snikenell was originally a huge poisonous snake, and the race he created was among the orcs known for their cunning and viciousness.
The centaur is the creation of Dak, the "lord of iron hoofs". This deity was originally a wild horse. After becoming a deity, he no longer pretended to be a horse, but turned into a half-man and a half-horse. And created a centaur race to promote their beliefs.
For centaur, the concentration of iron hoof blood is the degree of nobility. Olek was born in a collateral lineage, not the direct heir of the blood of the iron hoof, in front of the descendants of the great majesty's direct line, he was born to be inferior.
Olik has no dissatisfaction with this natural identity gap. What he dissatisfied is that Ovira completely rejected his courtship-it is like a self-made businessman who has long been used to being underestimated by officials. But if the other party rejected his proposal, he would still be angry.
"This guy's anger is our opportunity." After the sun set, inside the traveling merchant's small tent, Qiao Xiu no longer had the simple and silly smile during the day, and his serious face was full of murderous intent.
Shuang’s face also didn’t have the sly smile during the day, and was coldly full of viciousness: "I think you are too cautious! It's just two high-level ones. Let's just look for a chance. Kill one by sneak attack first, and the rest will be cleaned up as much as you want!"
Qiao Xiu smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in his eyes, but rather eerie and weird: "Our goal is not just to kill a high-ranking priest and a patriarch. If we do it recklessly, we will be exposed. That will be very soon. Will fall into the siege of the strong orcs of various races, and will have to retreat early. What do you think of this?"
"No way!"
"I don't want this either." Qiao Xiu nodded, "So we have to create an illusion, so that everyone thinks that the priest's death has nothing to do with us. Although it is impossible to hide it for too long, it can be delayed for a while. Maybe there is a chance to kill one or two more priests!"
Shuang's eyes lit up a bit, and a cruel smile hung from the corner of her mouth.
"I like this idea!" he said.
Qiao Xiu smiled again and took out several medicine bottles: "These are specially prepared by Master Akain and Master Wendy. The toxicity is second, and the key is to have various special effects. As long as you have a variety of special effects. By making good use of them, we can easily reach our goals."
"When will you do it?" Shuang asked eagerly.
"It's almost there. It's just two days." Qiao Xiu said confidently, "I have fully understood the situation of this tribe. The next step is to create an opportunity for the two masters' proud works to come into play. Their power!"
The next day, a major event happened in Ironhoof Tribe.
That night, the patriarch Olek, who had been pursuing the priest of Ovira, was drunk~IndoMTL.com~ broke into the temple of the Lord of Ironhoof while drinking, openly proposed to the blood trampler, and returned after being rejected Refusing to leave, he wanted to stay overnight in the temple.
Ovira was furious and drew her halberd to attack him. Originally with Olek's strength, she should be able to easily withstand her attacks, but I don't know if too much drinking has caused her hands and legs to become weak. Olek unexpectedly missed and was severely injured by her halberd.
The halberd drank countless blood and had already possessed terrifying magic power. Olik was not only injured, but also very poisonous. After inspection, the witch doctor determined that the poison came from the so-called "corpse fungus." In order to remove the toxin, he had to find a corpse with the corpse fungus before he could perform witchcraft and **** the corpse poison from him. go.
Ovira is naturally responsible for this matter. So the blood trampling set off with a halberd and a longbow, heading to the endlessly conquering area in the south, looking for the corpse they needed.
Early in the morning of the third day, the traveling salesmen who felt that the atmosphere in the tribe was too bad also left worriedly. The uncle looked a little dissatisfied, but was called by the nephew "Smart businessmen are not "Stay in a dangerous place" was persuaded as a reason.
They bid farewell to the centaurs who were depressed by the great change, and continued to travel eastward.
But in fact, not long after they left, they put all the goods together with the carriage and workhorse into the semi-plane storage box prepared in advance. Frost and Qing screamed out of the original shape, and the two wings were in wind, carrying Qiao Xiuyi. The road headed south, whizzing away.
Their layout is complete, now it's time to kill!
