As mentioned before, Lord Lorraine spent a lot of money on this battle in order to seize more territory, grab things, grab labor, and make more money.
Not only humans, but also the half-orc race who had taken refuge in him, Lorraine did not let go.
He also ordered the recruiting officers to recruit a large number of strong and brave men from those orcs. That is, those ruffians with simple minds, big legs and thick arms, and their hands are always faster than their brains.
Moreover, when recruiting people, according to the habits of the previous life, Lord Lorraine also gave each tribe certain targets.
But at the same time, he has strict orders to only recruit volunteers and strictly prevent the phenomenon of recruiting young men. He will strictly control the situation and deal with the findings together. No one is allowed to sneak in and cheat.
Lord Luo knows what kind of evil deeds those half-orc brats are. Every one of them is a mother if they have breasts, and they are wild and untamed. They can only take advantage, not suffer any loss.
They are used to living a hungry and well-fed life on the grassland, and their nature is like that of mice. They only see the small profit of the bigger mung beans in front of them, and completely ignore that the piece of cake is stained with poison and is still sandwiched in the middle.
On a big-mouthed mousetrap.
Everyone is a fool, and the shrewd ones become fools.
What if those bastards wake up and see most of the Naian garrison moving out, and they are ready to take action again. They want to learn the fine traditions of those Qing barbarians, kill officials and rebel, and create some Naian Ten Days, Nedler Three
What are you killing? I can't even find a place to cry.
Even if the old man sends his army to quell the rebellion again, kills them all, and creates a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with millions of corpses buried in them, it seems that the hatred has been relieved, but it is of no use~!
The money is gone, the factory has been burned down, and the house has been demolished. Even if you cry your eyes out, there will be no regret medicine to take.
If you had taken precautions early, nothing would have happened.
By recruiting troops and extracting the best of the orcs, not only can you enhance your own combat power, but you can also draw out the resources from the bottom of the cauldron and weaken the strength of the local orcs.
With a shortage of major generals and two hundred and five young men who are able to fight and dare to fight, how can those half-orcs kill officials and rebel? No matter how eager they are to make a move, they can only keep their heads down and work honestly.
Even if there are three or five guys who want to cause trouble, Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian.
The green epaulette NKVD, the Gestapo, the CIA, the KGB, the urban management battalion, the demolition brigade, the security group... you can send them out at random and wipe them out easily.
And according to Lorraine's order, in order to ensure social stability and the safety of life and property of the people, these guys who dare to cause chaos in wartime must be dealt with severely, severely and quickly.
As long as someone gets into your hands, don't be polite. At the very least, everyone will have to remove the cover of the tortoise and let it dry with their belly facing up.
In addition, because those half-orcs are all from the grassland, they are familiar with the conditions of the grassland. Using these half-orc traitors, which is also bestiality, can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Lead a way, act as a guide, find a water source. Disguise yourself, scout out the enemy's situation, or even disguise yourself, spread a rumor into the enemy camp, and then take the opportunity to cause trouble and drive a wedge between the tribes.
The relationship between...etc.
If you add up the various documents of Soaring Eagle Venture Capital Company and sort them out, you will find that based on these things alone, you can even create a specialized discipline, namely 'Intelligence Strategy and Tactics'.
With the help of those besties, the army led by Lorraine could enter the prairie so easily.
It is precisely because of this that from the beginning of the war to now, the orcs have not figured out how many people Lorraine's army actually has.
According to those orcs, the strength of the human legion led by Lorraine changed every day. It was only ten thousand people at the beginning, but after only three days, this number soared to one million people.
This is not difficult to understand. The orcs at the beginning all saw the actions of human legions with their own eyes. Several legions united to surround a tribe.
Those orcs who slipped through the net did see the appearance of ten or twenty thousand people.
Then these ruffians were scared out of their wits, and like rabbits, they spread their big feet and ran south. When they came to their senses, they found that they were already two hundred miles away.
At this time, they were still afraid and had no time to perform artistic processing on Lorraine's army. When others asked, they told the truth.
After waiting for a day or two, more orcs fled back to Xingxing Lake one after another.
These tribes are all descendants of the beast god Ston. When these warriors calmed down, of course they would not say that they were so frightened by Lorraine's army that they almost wet their pants. They could only fight hard.
Crazy exaggeration of the enemy's numbers.
After all, these orcs are not stupid. They are your weaklings when they escape from an enemy. But you can still escape in the face of ten thousand enemies. This is your glory.
Everyone immediately started talking about tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. If you add up, you can calculate that there are probably hundreds of thousands of people on the front.
In addition, the traitor sent by Lorraine was causing trouble in the middle, and the rumors spread like wildfire.
After a while, Lorraine led an army to kill them. At that time, everyone had their heads cut off and everyone took them. Anyone who was taller than the wheel would have their heads cut off.
Now the name of the Flying Eagle God of War can stop children from crying at night on the prairie. After hearing this, everyone is not afraid. They immediately pack up their things, take the old sow at home, and drive away with the animals.
But a little while later, Lorraine's army got lost on the grassland again. Those ruffians all ran to the lost grassland, and then they couldn't get water, so they had to live by drinking urine, and they were all about to die. Some people couldn't get water.
I have already taken the lead and gone there to pick up things and make a fortune.
Immediately, everyone panicked again, unloaded the old sow from the car, and were about to drive the car to the Lost Grassland to pick up some things.
At this time, another news came that the Lorraine army was marching very fast, leading millions of troops, and the vanguard had arrived at the Blackwater River.
The Polydock tribe had no time to escape, and more than 10,000 people in the tribe had been killed by him and his troops.
The Blackwater River is full of blood floating corpses, and it will be renamed the Bloodwater River in the future.
After everyone heard this, they all sighed: What a beautiful river it used to be! Now it is polluted and you can no longer drink from it.
The news changes three times a day.
But if anyone pays attention, they will find that every time when bad news comes, there will be quite favorable good news soon.
Everyone was panicking and wanted to escape, but they were unwilling to do so. They were unable to move forward or retreat.
However, after the initial panic period, these orcs who came back in panic with their tails between their legs saw that the Lorraine army did not appear on the horizon, so they all came back to their senses.
Everyone usually sits together and drinks, bragging that they are sword masters, magic gods, demigods, and so on. Their martial arts skills are all those of ninth-level warriors. Even a thirty-two thousand enemy is not enough.
The bullshit was blown out, but now I have escaped back in embarrassment. This is not going to make that person laugh at me. This is not okay. I have to change everything.
After two days, this number began to rise at a geometric speed. In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that it was not that our army was too incompetent, but that the enemy was too powerful.
It’s not like the half-orcs transformed from Xingxing Lake haven’t sent people to scout the north, but that’s not just walking horses and hunting to snatch little girls, that’s risking one’s life. Whether it’s hundreds of thousands or millions, that’s not what the scouts can do.
Passed.
After a bunch of interfaces like "My wife is about to give birth," "My horse is about to give birth," "My dog is about to give birth," etc., everyone has no choice but to use the most primitive and fairest method, drawing lots.
In the end, the unlucky ones who won the death lottery formed a joint reconnaissance force and set off northward.
As a result, these orcs used their simplest wisdom to find a depression to sleep for a day, and then went back to report that there were human armies all over the mountains and plains.
When asked how much it was, these orcs said they didn't know. Anyway, it was all over the mountains and plains. When asked if it was one hundred thousand, they nodded. When asked if it was half a million, they nodded. When asked if it was over one million, they still nodded.
Not only is the huge army terrifying, the orcs also deceive people for Lorraine for free.
Those orcs who have escaped will tell others in a straight-forward manner, "Do you think humans are just a large number of people?" Then you are wrong.
Let me tell you, there are more than 5,000 sword masters among them. You heard it right, more than 5,000 sword masters. Each one has a small flag behind his back and a big knife in his hand. Killing people is like cutting leeks.
You think just having the Sword Master is enough, let me tell you, there are more than 5,000 black shamans in human beings, and with a wave of their hands, the mountains and plains are filled with seas of fire.
Brother, although I am at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, there were too many enemies, but in the end I was able to successfully transfer in.
In fact, this is also normal. When faced with unknown situations, people will infinitely magnify the fear in their hearts, which is what the saying goes, scare themselves.
The rumors became more and more outrageous, and the orcs were in panic all day long. The clan leaders gathered together for endless discussions, and the ordinary orcs shouted all day long to move in, move in.
After quietly repairing for seven days, Lorraine waited until he got the news he wanted. The Southern Expedition Corps once again broke camp and headed north, heading straight for Xingxing Lake.
When Lorraine first set up camp, the half-orc chiefs received news that if they had only relied on blood inheritance, they would have been killed long ago.
Just like Cromwell who killed Charles I, I was a hero. I killed the king and passed the parliament. The country was protected by others. However, my son was a super thin man. As soon as his father died, he was killed easily.
Let Charles II turn the tables.
These clan leaders also grew up in the struggle and still had some brains. After receiving the news, they began to connect and bring the tribes together.
Xingxing Lake is the essence of the orcs, the most suitable area for living on the grassland. Even in winter, you don't have to suffer from drought.
Only the powerful tribes on the prairie can gain a foothold here. Once they gain a foothold, their strength will become stronger, so the battles at Xingxing Lake are the most intense.
No one wants to be driven away from a land rich in food. The half-orc chiefs all know that once they escape here and let humans occupy Star Lake, they will never be able to return here.
Lorraine deliberately left them time to discuss arrangements. These clan leaders lived up to Lorraine's expectations and acted quickly. After quarreling, the orcs finally decided to unite and negotiate with humans!
The half-orc chiefs agreed that they should argue with reason and reason with humans. I heard that humans like to reason very much.
Of course, if the truth doesn't make sense, the orcs have also made complete preparations.
Humans have so many troops that it is impossible for the orcs to defeat them, so everyone should grease their feet and run as fast as they can with their wives and children. They have already discussed it. When the time comes, everyone will disperse and run away, and no humans will be able to chase them.
Chase.
If the human strength is not strong, the orcs are ready to speak with their fists.
Lorraine set up camp again and set out again. This time the morale of the army was extremely high. The soldiers were secretly rumoring that there were hundreds of thousands of orcs right ahead waiting for them to capture them.
The soldiers sang songs and happily went to catch orcs for money. After three days of marching south, a group of orcs appeared in the sight of the forward cavalry.
The cavalry were overjoyed. Since they set out, they haven't seen even a single orc hair in the past few days. They finally took a turn as a vanguard, but they couldn't earn any extra money. The soldiers were depressed about that.
Seeing the orcs coming to the door, the cavalrymen felt like they had been given a shot of blood. Their eyes were red with excitement and they shouted, "Don't let them run away."
"Stop them."
He screamed and rushed towards the orc.
However, they did not expect that this group of orcs not only did not run away, but also accelerated to meet them. The soldiers were overjoyed that the business was getting better and better.
But when they arrived, the soldiers suddenly felt cold. This group of orcs were holding white flags, and they were afraid that humans would misunderstand them, so everyone was holding one.
Seeing the human cavalry surrounding them, the orcs stopped and gathered together. The leader shouted loudly: "Peace, peace, we are here to negotiate."
The soldiers approached the cavalry captain and asked one after another: "What should I do? What should I do? Is it worth the money if I catch him?"
The captain scratched his head and thought for a while, then said: "This may or may not count. It depends on what is said above."
When the half-orcs saw the human soldiers looking at them as if they were seeing beautiful women without clothes, they felt anxious and secretly prayed that they would not be cut down by humans.
The orcs who led the team saw that the humans were looking at them unkindly, and hurriedly shouted at the top of their lungs: "We are envoys and are here to negotiate. Let's all live in peace. Don't fight or kill."
The cavalry captain waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "No matter what they do, tie them up and throw them on the horse and carry them back."
The soldiers rushed up, knocked down the orcs, tied them up, threw them on the horses, and took them back to the main army.
Along the way, these orc envoys kept their eyes wide open as they looked at the human armies passing along the way.
Then these orcs were handed over to superior officers by the cavalry captain, and an orc from the Nai'an army came out to check them, and finally loosened them and brought them to Lorraine.
Lorraine squinted his eyes and looked at the half-orcs standing helplessly in front of him. He was secretly amused. He discovered that there was a pattern among the half-orcs. The longer they were, the more obscene they were, the higher their positions were. Especially the chiefs of the half-orcs, one
One that looks harmless to humans and animals.
Catherine and the others were hiding in the car behind and watching from a distance, while Leo wielded a long sword and sat carelessly next to Lorraine, euphemistically performing his duties as an observer.
The leading orc stood upright in front of Lorraine, but everyone could see that he was holding on, the sweat on his forehead was flowing down, and he said loudly: "Dear Governor, I am Dua,
On behalf of one hundred of the greatest orc tribes, come to pay homage to your lord."
Lorraine tilted her head and looked at the envoy in front of her. Leo said loudly: "Since you are here to pay homage to us, what gifts did you bring?"
The orcs were stunned. They didn't expect that they would ask for something during this meeting. The leader, Du Wa, said in a daze: "Do you need to bring gifts to the peace talks?"
Leo raised his sword and slammed it on the table, shouting: "Do you understand the rules? How can you come to see the master empty-handed? I think you have no sincerity at all."
Leo bared his teeth and squinted at them, secretly thinking that if he went shirtless at this time and painted a few dragons and tigers, it would be even more powerful.
Du Wa stretched his neck and said: "The prairie is our land, and we are the masters here. You have come to our place without permission."
Leo said contemptuously: "Oh, do you have proof?"
"What?" The orc was stunned again.
Leo said: "I'm asking you for the certificate. If you say the grassland is yours, then it's yours. Real estate certificate, real estate certificate, residence certificate, temporary residence certificate is fine. Bring one to prove ownership."
Du Wa said loudly: "I don't know what you are talking about. We have lived here for generations, and this is our land. But you, you humans have your own land, why are you coming to rob our place?"
Lorraine said slowly: "A few months ago, 120,000 orcs invaded our territory in Naian."
Du Wa said: "They are them, and we are us. We did not rob your things, and you cannot rob us. This is unreasonable."
Leo laughed and said: "Orcs are actually starting to be reasonable. I'm really not used to it."
The surrounding guards laughed cooperatively.
Lorraine said: "We humans have clear grievances. Since you are not involved, we will naturally not cause trouble for you. However, more than 30,000 orcs have fled back to the grassland. I will never let these people go. We will not let you go this time."
We went deep into the grassland just to hunt down these people."
Du Wa said: "Then you go find them, we won't interfere with you, and you don't bother us either."
Lorraine said: "But I heard that they have all hid in your tribe."
"Absolutely nothing!" Dua said.
"Whether there is or not is not up to you," Lorraine said, "I can only be sure after a search. Otherwise, just bring all the people in your tribe over and let me check them one by one. If there is nothing, forget it.
"
Dua's eyes widened and he said, "This is impossible."
Lorraine said: "Look, that's why I came here. Since you don't cooperate, I have to work harder to catch all the orcs and check them."
Du Wa said: "Are you threatening us here? We orcs have 600,000 warriors, and we are not afraid of you. I am telling you humans not to go south any further."
Lorraine shrugged and said, "Then there's nothing to talk about."
Du Wa said: "We are here to seek peace, but you are pushing us too hard. At worst, we will go to war. I don't believe that you can defeat our 600,000 soldiers."
Leo chuckled and said, "You'll find out in a little while."
Thinking about the human army he had just seen, which was armed to the teeth, Du Wa felt cold. He looked at his companions and said, "I am just an envoy. I cannot decide your terms. I must go back and discuss with the clan leaders.
Give us three days, no, five days, and I will give you an answer."
Lorraine spread his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, but arresting people is only one of my purposes. Another purpose of my coming here is to recruit workers. I am short of workers. As long as you orcs come over, work ten hours a day, pay wages and share houses."
,What, are you interested?”
The orcs were stunned, not knowing what Lorraine meant.
Lorraine waved his hand to the Imperial Guards and said, "There are some leaflets here. You can take them back and have a look."
The Guards soldier stuffed a large pile of paper into Dua's arms.
Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's see the guests off."
Dua and others were driven out by the soldiers without ceremony.
After leaving the human army, Dua said dissatisfiedly: "Human beings have no sincerity in negotiating at all."
An old orc in front of him said impatiently: "Of course I know. The key is, what do you think of human military power? Can we defeat it?"
"I think they have hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It's hard to fight them."
"Let's all gather together. There are 200,000 warriors who can fight. We can still give it a try."
Du Wa said at this time: "Although human soldiers are well equipped, we can use strategies."
"How to say."
Du Wa said: "I think the human governor is very arrogant. If we reject him directly, he will probably attack us immediately, so we have to pretend to negotiate with them, delay it for a few days, gather all the soldiers and arrange them
on all sides, and then pretend to agree to their conditions and find ways to lure them into our encirclement, and then we will attack them from all sides. Human beings will never be able to withstand them."
The orcs each began to think deeply, wondering whether this plan was feasible.
An old orc said slowly at this time: "I have a theory, let's see if it's right. Humans are coming this time to destroy the hearts of us orcs.
The two tribes in the north have all disappeared. I dare say they were not killed by humans.
We can escape this time, but have you ever thought about whether humans will let us go? The prairie is not infinite. As long as humans want to kill us, they will catch us one day. You think this is true."
The orcs looked at each other and thought: Yes, if humans are determined to kill them, where can they go?
