Chapter 576 Controversy 2
"Everyone!" Abar shouted to his loyal subordinates.
"This time you are summoned to determine the direction of the next attack."
The tone of the chief was extremely serious, and there was a hint of eagerness and anxiety in it. In his heart, this was a good opportunity that the orcs had not encountered in a thousand years.
The Kingdom of Aldo in the south of the Rocky Mountains was once the overlord of the western end of the continent, but the status of this overlord was closely related to her royal power. When the royal power of Aldo was at its peak, the influence of Jingyao far exceeded the territory it ruled legally. Just talking about the northeast of the kingdom, after crossing the Nei Luodan Corridor, there is a vast desert, dotted with many oases like pearl chains on this desert, and human city-states survived tenaciously on the oases. These city-states once surrendered to the powerful Kingdom of Aldo, and the kingdom's Watcher Corps guarding the Nei Luodan Corridor provided them with shelter. For hundreds of years, under the leadership of Aldo, the human coalition has penetrated into the grassland several times to crush the forces that tried to unite the orcs, leaving the prairie in a state of disunity.
But a hundred years ago, the royal power of Jingyao began to gradually decline, especially in the last fifty years. Jingyao's dominance over the country declined very rapidly, so that when the current king Nidro XVII succeeded to the throne, the kingdom's territory had formed separatist lords such as the Giles family and the Veblen family, who were powerful enough to fight against the royal family. The decline of the power center also affected places outside the borders. The royal family was exhausted in maintaining domestic rule, and the support for border troops such as the Watcher Corps was naturally not as strong as before. The Watcher Corps had to shrink its strength and retreat from the prairie and desert oasis all the way back to the northeast gate of the kingdom, the Rodan Corridor.
After losing the joint suppression of humans, Zarge, who once led the orc tribes, took advantage of the situation to rise up and vowed to pick up the glory of the legendary king's tent and reproduce the glorious history of the orcs against the Gubella Empire. Moreover, this time their goal is greater than what their ancestors did-to go deep into the human world and rule them.
After countless battles, the orc tribes around Zarge have directly or indirectly submitted to the rule of the king's tent. The area radiated by the influence of the great chief is huge and vast, from the endless ice field in the north to the Rocky Mountains and the oasis human countries in the south, from the Lucky Forest in the west to another human power, Gabella in the east. This grassland in the northwest of the continent has been firmly placed under the control of this orc leader.
After ruling the grassland tribes, the king's tent must find a new goal. The glory of the orcs must not be limited to the grassland. This is the unanimous opinion of everyone in the king's tent.
But where should the next stage of expansion be, everyone has a disagreement.
One faction believes that the orc world should continue to be unified. The grassland in the inland is extremely vast. The grassland north of the Rocky Mountains is only a part of it. The grassland seems to extend endlessly to the inland in the east. There are still large and small orc tribes wandering on the grassland in the east. At the same time, there are branches of orc civilization in the Lucky Forest in the west of the grassland - forest orcs who are accustomed to fishing and hunting. This faction believes that all the orc tribes on the continent should be gathered under the rule of the king's tent first, but this faction also has differences on whether to conquer the forest orcs first or to attack the inland grassland.
Another faction believes that the king's tent now has enough power to attack the human world - of course, the orcs call it revenge. The king's tent once promised to give the surrendered tribes a beautiful and rich life, allowing them to reproduce and thrive on the land with milk and honey. The promise must be fulfilled. Continuing to conquer the poor relatives on the grassland can only receive a few cents. Only by bringing the rich human world under its rule can its promise be fulfilled. After losing the protection of the Watcher Corps, the Oasis countries have faced the orcs' military attacks several times. In addition to offering a large amount of wealth each time, some have even secretly expressed their submission. This means that the orcs have a springboard to penetrate the human world in the south, and Aldor in the west and Gabela in the east have also encountered crises to varying degrees. The caravans traveling to and from the grasslands brought news that made the people in the royal tent even more happy. The spiritual leader of the human world, the Church of the Lord of Light, is deeply involved in the religious disputes in the corner. In the past, when the human countries had internal or external conflicts, the church always played the role of a mediator. In addition, due to religious reasons, it played a role in uniting the human world to a certain extent. Now they should not have the energy to do so.
Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"Infiltrate the Lucky Forest in the west!"
"No, we should continue to attack the grassland in the east."
"You are all wrong. Aldo is now a big fat sheep. It would be a waste not to eat it."
"I think it is better to attack Gabela. It is said that Gabela is located in the center of this land and controls the center of the continent. It has great advantages."
"Idiot, occupy the center of the continent? Let the surrounding humans come together to beat us up?"
When Chief Abar said his problem, the tent was filled with various suggestions for a while, and everyone was expressing their own opinions.
"The chief." As the business team manager of the Wang account, Eugene supported the first controlling the lucky forest. "I think we still have to accumulate our wealth first, and we can buy more iron armor weapons to equip our Warriors, although our orcs are brave, after all, it is the body of flesh and blood. It is still suffering from human swords. Only with the same equipment as them can we play our advantages. It is loved by human nobles, they are willing to take out gold to buy, and those plants that can be used as medicinal materials can also be exchanged for a lot of wealth. Human weapons, then make our soldiers stronger, and it is easier to attack the human world. "
"The Eugene manager makes sense." The chief Ebar nodded and seemed to agree with his views.
"Father!" Ajile was in a hurry. He supported the first to attack the Gabra Empire. "Gabela's two princes are now very sharp, which also means that their national power is scattered. The major lords of the empires are watching who can get the throne. In case of one of them A backbone, we are difficult to attack Gabera. "
"Ajire said it also makes sense." The chief nodded.
