Chapter 192 [From small to large]
Nearly two meters tall, He Ping had two thick bodies, with exposed fangs, ugly appearance, rough and dark skin, kneaded muscles like tree roots, bloodthirsty eyes, and rough voice. You can tell at a glance that the limbs and simple minds are well-developed. This is the orcs mentioned by the elves before. After looking at these orcs, He Ping turned his head speechlessly at the elves who said he would be a half-orc. The elf noticed Xia Xingxian's eyes and turned his head embarrassedly to pretend that he didn't know anything.
He Ping sighed, turned his head to continue observing the orcs' troops. The equipment of these orcs was very simple, and only had some protective gear in the vital parts. Moreover, most orcs' protective gear were just the most basic leather armor, some were even barefoot, and the weapons in their hands were also varied. The better ones might have an axe or a machete. The simpler ones were only wooden sticks with stones tied, and some of them didn't even have stones on them.
However, not all orcs are like this. He Ping saw that in addition to most of the orcs with simple equipment, there were some very special units in the orcs' troops. For example, there were taller orcs scattered among the orcs' army. The height of ordinary orcs was nearly two meters. These tall orcs were even more than two meters. Moreover, these orcs had better equipment. The whole body was wrapped in a set of very strong metal plate armor, and they also had a helmet. The double-edged giant axe and spiked round shield in their hands could tell that it was not mass-produced.
Behind the orc army, there are some more special units. Although they are also half-orcs, the size of those half-orcs is smaller than that of ordinary half-orcs, only about 1.5 meters, and relatively thin. These half-orcs wear strange costumes made of animal skins, wooden boards and feathers, wear a strange mask, and stand on a large wooden board carried by many half-orcs, dancing the so-called strange dance.
At the forefront of the orc army, there are many strange "creatures". These creatures are only about one meter tall, which is even thinner than the orcs who jumped the gods behind them. Although they look very similar to orcs, their size and muscles are much worse, and their fangs are not exposed. The equipment of these "mini-type orcs" is even more simple, without even armor, and they are all wearing simple cloth clothes. They are either knives or wooden sticks in their hands, and some of the weapons they hold are obviously more like agricultural tools. They look like cannon fodder no matter how they look.
"Does the orcs have to be divided into several types?" He Ping, who was full of curiosity, asked, of course, he didn't understand. He had only seen similar scenes in the movie. It was the first time he had encountered such a close and real scene.
"The concept of half-orcs is actually very meaningful." The one who answered Xia Xingxian was Yi Luli. It seemed that among the poorly few male elves, many young elves had never talked to Yi**, and Yi Luli, who had only said a few words to the male elves, was even the eldest sister of Mei Feier's team. She explained to He Ping: "In a broad sense, the army opposite is all composed of half-orcs."
"What about it in a narrow sense?"
"Strictly speaking, the orcs we are talking about refers to the most numerous part of this army. Those are the warriors among the orcs, and those who are more physical and better equipped among the orcs are the war lords among the orcs, and those who dance warriors on the wooden board are the shamans among the orcs, equivalent to the magicians of the orcs."
"The shortest ones in front are goblins. Goblins are subspecies of orcs. Among the orcs who advocate power, goblins have a low status. They are usually called like slaves. When they start a war, they are even regarded as suicide squads. They resist firepower in front. The goblins have low combat power, but their reproductive ability is very strong, with a large number and a fast growth rate. Therefore, orcs must consume the number of goblins in this way, otherwise the orcs will definitely have a famine."
roar!!!!!
Just as He Ping asked Yi Luli for information about the orcs, several roars came from the rear of the orcs. He Ping looked up and saw a scene that surprised him. A dozen giant creatures, more than ten meters high, were following the orcs army, moved towards this side. These giant creatures were like enlarged versions of orcs. Just looking at this head, you can tell that their power is not small, but these giant creatures have almost no armor, and their weapons are just a tree or a large stone.
"Tiger! So many tigers! It's a bit difficult to deal with." The one who muttered to himself was Mei Feier, the captain of this team. When she saw He Ping's questioning eyes, she explained to He Ping: "There are two subspecies of the orcs, one big and one small, the small one is goblins, and the big one is these tigers. The intelligence of the tigers is lower than that of the stupid orcs, but the strength and physical strength are much higher than that of ordinary orcs. It is considered a war machine for the orcs!"
"A dozen monsters, not many?"
"The intelligence of the monsters is of no use except for fighting. They do not carry out any production labor in the orc tribe, and they have a lot of appetite. Because they have poor brains, they are not easy to discipline. In the ordinary orc tribe, there are more than five orc tribes, and there are not even one smaller tribes. If there are too many, the orcs will not be enough. And once they go crazy, they will not be able to suppress them at all, which is also a disaster for their own tribe."
After listening to Mei Feier's introduction, He Ping knew that such a guy was indeed a bit troublesome. He was a good guy when fighting, but he was a burden in normal times. Therefore, the number must be controlled well, neither too much nor too little. It can be used as a sign of whether a tribe is strong and can exist as a deterrent force. However, blindly increasing the number of monsters will only cause the tribe to decline. He Ping has fully understood this through the Cold War in the main world and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe.
