Chapter 359 [Half Orcs]
There are still many orc tribes near the Melianne Forest. Of course, the intelligence elves of these tribes have collected them, and these things are not secrets for the elves. As soon as He Ping proposed them, he immediately obtained the storage magic props that stored a large amount of intelligence of the orc tribe. From these information, he also learned about the orc race and some nearby orc tribes for the first time.
The orc tribe closest to the Melianne Forest is the Black Falcon Tribe, and there is the Rage Hammer Tribe a little further away. These two tribes are not far from the Melianne Forest. If these two tribes join forces, the Nordor Elf clan probably won’t have much peace. Fortunately, the relationship between the Black Falcon Tribe and the Rage Hammer Tribe is not good, and it can even be said to be a mortal enemy. Compared with the Nordor Elf, these two orc tribes are more keen to kill each other.
It is precisely because of this that although these two tribes often come to the Melianne Forest to fight the autumn wind and rush over to rob, they will never spend a lot of effort to attack the Nordo elves, because if any of these two tribes reveals a little flaw, the other one will definitely not mind going to the tribe's base camp immediately. If possible, completely destroy it, and then take all the soldiers, population, territory and resources into their own. This is what they want to do the most.
If the distance is a little further, it is the largest orc tribe in this area, the Blood Axe tribe. The size of an orc tribe mainly depends on the total population, especially the total number of warriors and the total number of war lords. The orcs' productivity is very low. Although there is also agriculture and animal husbandry, the output is very low, which is far from enough to consume the people of the tribe. Therefore, hunting and robbery have become the most commonly used methods to obtain food.
Whether it is hunting or looting, force is very necessary. Goblins can only be regarded as cannon fodder and have little combat power. Therefore, the main combat power is that they are not weak in combat power. Moreover, there are a large number of orc warriors, as commanders and high-end combat power, and as trolls and shamans, although it is very important, it is a bit difficult to meet.
Shamans do not participate in the battle directly. Although shamans have a great role in battle, they can sometimes even play a key role. The number of shamans also determines the number of hordes in an orc tribe, and hordes are things that can directly determine combat power. However, shamans do not participate in the battle after all. When facing a tribe, the simple-minded orcs are still used to judging the opponent's combat power from the number of opponent's warriors and war lords.
As for the trolls, they are not actually favored by the orc tribe, because the trolls are not very rational and can only be considered wild beasts, and it is difficult to control them. If they are not properly handled, they will hurt their own people. Moreover, the trolls have a lot of trolls. If a tribe raises too many trolls, it will easily be directly dragged down by these big eaters. Therefore, most orc tribes will deliberately control the number of trolls and only keep a few heads. Some smaller tribes do not even retain trolls at all.
Therefore, as the largest orc tribe in this area, the Blood Axe tribe has the largest number of warriors and war lords, and they also have a large number of wolf knights, so there are many wolf knights. On the flat terrain, the wolf knights, who come and go like the wind and have a large number of wolf knights, are the most powerful troops. Even if they have more opponents, and have shamans and war lords, they are often not opponents of wolf knights.
In comparison, in the two tribes, Black Falcon and Rage Hammer, the number of conventional combat powers such as Orc Warriors and Wolf Knights, as well as war lords, shamans and trolls, are much less than that of the Blood Axe Tribe, and even the number of goblins is much worse. Although goblins do not have much combat power, they can only rush forward to be cannon fodder during battle. However, in the orc tribe, goblins are an important labor force. Orc warriors usually need to train to maintain combat power, and all the work must be completed by goblins.
It can be said that goblins are also quite pitiful. Not only does they have no status in the orc tribe, they need to bear high-intensity labor, but they can only get the minimum food, just like slaves of other orcs. They also have to act as cannon fodder during battles, consuming quantities to reduce the consumption of food, and ensuring the survival of orc warriors as much as possible. However, goblins have become accustomed to such status, and whether in terms of force or intelligence, goblins are much lower than orcs. It can be said that they have no concept of resisting.
In addition to the Blood Axe, Black Falcon and Rage Hammer, there are many orc tribes near the Melianne Forest, but many of them are very small tribes. In fact, among all the orc tribes, the large tribes are only a handful of them. Most orc tribes are not very large in scale, and some of them cannot even get together with decent troops. There are no shamans and monsters, no war lords, and even wolf knights. Even the chiefs are just stronger orc warriors.
In most cases, these orc tribes live in the cracks. In the absence of food, these miniature orc tribes do not have enough combat power to rob, so they can only hunt and survive. Even if they hunt, if they encounter slightly stronger monsters, casualties may occur. Therefore, when there is not much food, these orc tribes will starve orcs.
Moreover, their biggest enemy is actually not Hunger and monsters, but other larger orc tribes. If there is any flaw in it, they will definitely be attacked by other orc tribes. If they are attacked and annexed by other orc tribes, such as elderly orcs, goblins and monsters, or those with poor control or whose combat power is too weak, they will be killed directly. The winner will only bring the strong warriors back and incorporate them into their own tribe.
If you want to avoid being annexed, you must be vigilant, not reveal flaws, and show strong combat power. After all, larger tribes are not completely without enemies, and they themselves must be careful not to be attacked by other tribes. Therefore, as long as these tribes think that the losses caused by attacking one tribe will reveal flaws, so that other tribes can seize the opportunity to attack themselves, then they can protect the tribe from being annexed.
Therefore, the tribes of the orcs can be said to be in a very dangerous balance. Usually, everyone is just making small fuss. When they encounter a fight, they will pass and will not go to other people's homes to make trouble. However, once there is any major event that may break the balance, such as the death of a certain tribe's chief, or a large number of warriors were killed while attacking elves and hunting monsters, or something wrong with high-end combat power, then that place will soon fall into chaos.
Mutual attacks will become commonplace, and this chaos will spread to other orc tribes around. Although the intensity of chaos will gradually decrease as it spreads, and eventually calms down completely after it spreads to a certain extent, the area that is trapped in chaos will really become a bloody battlefield. Words like blood flowing into a river are not exaggerated at all. Every time after such chaos, many tribal emblems completely disappear.
