Chapter 164. The Enmity between the Tribes

The sky of Siye was shrouded in a layer of faint gray clouds, and the morning sun shone through the clouds with a faint yellow light, like a faint yellow spot printed on the dim yellow parchment, and the whole wasteland was like a chaotic landscape. world.The wind on the wasteland is very strong, and these winds carry the yellow sand from the Gobi a few kilometers away and blow it over. When it hits a person's face, it will hurt a little. , poured into the clothes, so that every person walking on the wasteland is like a sand chicken crawling out of the sand, covered with dusty sand.

We said our final farewell to Elder Gribasqin, and we continued to walk southeast along the fault zone with the orcs of the Raitu tribe.

Kuz rode on the Yagui beast's neck against the wind and sand, and led the orcs of the Raitu tribe forward.Maid Asakusa wrapped his face with a piece of linen, leaving only his eyes exposed.I lay on Yagui Beast's back, wrapped myself in linen cloth into a small mummy, and lay in a leather saddle to avoid the wind and sand.Driving in such a ghostly weather, I dare not even open my mouth to speak, otherwise the damn sand will be poured into my throat.

Yesterday, Viru, the leader of the Windchaser Adventure Group, led his members on a fast horse to inquire about the news, and only rushed back at dusk, but his news was indeed like a booster, which made people feel refreshed. A shock.They had already reached the edge of the drowned berth, and they did not find a large number of zombies there. It seemed that the wave of corpses had subsided this time, and everyone was very excited to hear the news.

Gerile is not as fragile as I imagined. I saw that last night, she secretly hid in Kurz's arms and wiped her tears. The female beast warriors set off early.The female beast warriors of the Raitu tribe are very used to such windy and sandy weather. They tie a thin black linen face towel over their faces, and only wear a sleeveless leather armor and leather skirt. The gravel carried by the strong wind hit the thighs and arms, and it seemed that there was no pain at all.Almost all of these female beast warriors wore simple leather armor and leather skirts, and the wind and sand blown into the leather jackets could not get on them at all.

On the contrary, people like Sister Guoguo and I, who completely wrap our bodies in linen, just need to hide in the leather saddle and lie down for a while, as if buried by wind and sand. This time we brought plenty of food , and there were enough argali to travel, so the team walked quickly.We have crossed the border line of Gludin Town forces.

At this time, the orc guide who was in charge of leading the way rode on the argali and stuck to Kurz's side.Pointing to a vast hill not far away, he said respectfully to Kutz: "Master Kutz, the Windmill Hill is ahead, and Chief Maxine's Bangor Manor is not too far away."

The blood wolf tribe forces in Gludin Town rely on the elders to connect each other. The core of the entire power is composed of the chiefs and shamans of the blood wolf clan tribes in various regions, and the wise men of Gludin Town. The loose alliance represents that the acting chieftain of the blood wolf clan, Kut, is not very binding. The blood wolf orcs he can control are only in the area around Gludin Town, and they are scattered throughout the western wilderness. Dozens of lords of the blood wolf tribe, the power of the blood wolf tribe is actually scattered in the hands of the great lords who control the blood wolf tribes. In fact, this time Kurt sent his brother to the edge of the blood wolf tribe. In order to be able to develop a group of new lords, in order to weaken the strength of the current big lords.

In the past, these lords were in awe of the strength of the blood wolf king Kurad, and they were as docile as sheep. But facing the new generation chief Kut of the blood wolf clan, it was difficult for these lords to see any good faces.Maxine is the chief of the Black Fang tribe, a small lord. His tribe only occupies the entire windmill hills, and its area is not as large as that of Drowning Park to the east of Kuz's territory, but it belongs to the blood wolf tribe. In the hinterland, there are few battles and wilderness robbers, but it has become a land of prosperity.

The origin of the name Windmill Hills is that there is a huge raised mountain rock in the northwest corner of this hilly area, which is named after its shape resembling a windmill.If we go to Drowning Park, we must take the windmill hills, otherwise it will take nearly half a month to walk around the road.Before, Captain Viru and the others rode fast horses along the edge of the windmill hills. For such an adventure group or orc hunter group, many lords turned a blind eye and let them come and go freely. .

But if our orc team of the Raitu tribe is going to pass through the windmill hills, whether it is to avoid conflicts or out of etiquette, it is very necessary to visit Chief Maxine in Bangor Manor in person, not to mention that he will be Ku Ze's new neighbor.So, we changed our route and prepared to visit the leader of the Black Fang Tribe.

The emerald green grass carpet is covered with large and small mounds, and if you look around, you can still see bushes with purple flowers growing on the slopes, just like a lace petticoat around a girl's body.This kind of shrub with oval leaves grows a kind of sour berry that is smaller than blueberry. In the past, these sour berries can brew a kind of fruit wine with a slightly sour taste, but in such a famine year, the sour berries in these bushes can also be used. Can come to satisfy hunger.I guess the life of the orcs here may be much easier than in other places.

Looking carefully at the bushes on the hills, there are no traces of damage. It seems that the plague of zombies has not spread here.

Gerile stopped in front with a kind of orc female warrior, and a ten-man wolf cavalry stood in front of them. These wolf orc warriors actually rode wasteland wolves on their crotches.This kind of mount is difficult to buy in the market. Usually, the division of strength among the great lords is calculated according to how many wolf cavalry he has in his hands.I didn't expect that the Black Fang tribe on this small windmill hill would actually have the strength to train wolf cavalry.

I always feel that these female orc warriors of the Raitu tribe are a bit dull. Their eyes are full of hostility towards the ten wolf cavalry in heavy armor.He even put his hands behind his back very vigilantly, holding the wooden handles of those short javelins, as if a bloody fight could be triggered at any time.And those ten wolf cavalry were so arrogant that they didn't even get off the wolves, they just kept comforting the wolves under them to calm them down.

At this time, Kurz's envoy Yagui Beast rushed to the front as a matter of course.He turned around with the wind and sand on his back and lifted the face towel, and asked me loudly if I wanted to go down, and I shook my head again and again.What a joke, how dangerous it is for me to climb up and down the Yagui beast in such a strong wind, besides looking at those wargs that are bigger than the one-horned bison, my legs are weak, I can't I don't want to make a fool of myself in the past.

His maid Asakusa followed, and I have to say that this young, capable and quiet maid has already won my respect and favor.If it wasn't necessary, she could not even speak for a day, but she was very considerate in her work. A frizzy werewolf boy like Kurz really needed such a capable assistant by his side.The female beast warriors of the Raitu tribe all said that the Asakusa black iron rod was very good at playing, but unfortunately I never had the chance to see it.

At this time, Gerile turned around and came back. She trot forward two steps, jumped up, lightly jumped onto the back of Yagui Beast, brushed off the sand from the other leather saddle beside me, and sat down quickly. When I came down, the wind blew away the scarf at the corner of her mouth, and I saw her pouted sullenly,
I curled up in the saddle, my body was almost buried by the wind and sand. Seeing her dejected look, I asked curiously, "Why did you run back?"

Gerile untied the javelin on his back, inserted it into the barrel on the side, rolled his eyes at me and said, "What do you have to say to those scumbags from the Black Fang tribe? Jia, just ignore them. These orcs of the Blackfang tribe are a bunch of bastards, big bastards!"

It was rare for a cheerful orc girl like Geril to feel resentment in her heart. I asked her curiously, "Geril, do you know those people?"

Gerile looked at me like an idiot, and then said to me as a matter of course: "Of course, this place is not too far from Drowning Bou. To pass here, I have to deal with these bastards several times a year."

Regarding this point, I really didn't expect that the Raitu tribe and the Black Fang tribe could be regarded as neighbors.I asked Geril curiously: "Why do you keep saying they are a bunch of bastards? Do you have a festival?"

"Yes! Every time we pay tribute, they always try to make things difficult for us because of their power." Gerile climbed on Yagui Beast's back, and his flexible waist was folded in half strangely in the leather saddle , making her round buttocks look more plump, she crossed her hands on her chin and said to me casually.

I looked at the group of guys sitting on the wolf in surprise. I never thought that there would be such disharmony among the orc tribes. Even the orcs of the same tribe had all kinds of grievances. He turned his head and said to me: "Actually, these are nothing at all. Which tribe has no friction?"

Gerile had a look of reminiscence in her eyes, but unfortunately the piece of linen covered her face, she said to me while recalling: "The real conflict between us was two months ago, when we Swamp zombies just appeared on the edge of the territory. The leader of Raitu ran over in person, trying to persuade the Black Fang tribe to send some wolf riders to encircle the scattered swamp zombies with our tribe's warriors, but he was rejected by Chief Maxine. gone."

"How could this be?" I couldn't understand what Chief Maxine was thinking.

Gerile gritted his silver teeth and said with hatred: "At that time, he saw that all the men in our tribe died when they were besieging the gray dwarves. Only these beast girls and children were left in the tribe, so he wanted to annex our tribe. The leader of the tribe, Raitu, will naturally not agree."

It seems that it is still a matter of annexation between tribes. Facing the Raitu tribe, which only has a group of orc girls and orc children, how can Chief Maxine not be indifferent?Beast girls can be regarded as a considerable fortune in the tribe. It seems that this Maxine wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. Unexpectedly, he met the tough leader Raitu, and in the end he did not let Chief Maxine succeed.

Gerile and I saw that Kurtz had already started chatting with those arrogant wolf cavalrymen, and I didn't know whether the sign above Kurtz's head was useful here.But in my opinion, the Black Fang tribe is a sinister place that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. This neighbor is not easy to get along with!
Gerile said: "The disaster came later, and a large group of swamp zombies completely destroyed my homeland. The leader of Raitu and my grandfather had no choice but to abandon their homeland with the tribe, young and old, and fled in the wilderness. I went to Gludin to ask for help, but I didn't expect Chief Maxine to send wolf cavalry to escort us all the way, passing through the windmill hills."

"What's wrong with that?" I asked strangely.

"The bushes with sour berries are the most abundant on the entire Windmill Hills. Even if the wine is brewed, the fruit wine is usually sour. Life-saving. We escaped all the way back then, and originally wanted to pick some wild fruits to satisfy our hunger..."

"Aren't they even allowed to pick some sour berries? How dare they send wolf cavalry to drive you out?"

Gerile was so angry that he didn't answer my words, it seems that I guessed it right.

At this time, I finally knew why Gerile's resentment was so great. It was clearly that Chief Maxine of the Black Fang Tribe wanted to push the Raitu tribe to a corner. The leader's character is so stubborn that even under such circumstances, he led the entire Raitu tribe over the Yelian Mountains to make a living in the North Road Wasteland.

I have to say how brave it was for the leader of Raitu to abandon the entire Raitu tribe and join the military camp based on the words of the wise Meyana.The orc girls and orc children in the entire tribe are considered the personal wealth of the leader of Raitu, and at that time, if he really couldn't survive, the leader of Raitu would never abandon these orc girls.

Now these beast girls have turned into beast girl warriors and have become a force to be reckoned with. Kuz and I have worked hard to train these beast girls into throwers by using their skills of running and throwing. , I didn't expect that after some training, the performance of these beast girls was beyond our expectations. The combat skill "throwing javelins" pays more attention to body coordination, flexibility and balance when running. In this respect, female orc warriors are much more flexible and balanced than male orc warriors. When throwing javelins, Relying on the burst speed of the pre-run and whether the whole body's strength can be poured into the javelin, so you must have throwing skills.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to return to Gluding Town to deliver fine salt, Kurz and I purchased a large number of short javelins. The reason why we use short javelins is that the strength of the orc girls is slightly inferior to that of male warriors. Javelins are lighter and lighter.It is not realistic to replace the javelins of the beast female warriors in the entire tribe with magic antelope horns. The high-end wisteria guns are too expensive. After discussing with Kurtz, I chose I bought a more economical ordinary javelin with a stainless steel head and a hard oak wood body, and purchased [-] pieces.

Before departing from Gludin Town, the number of Raitu tribe has almost reached 500 people. Except for the original more than 200 aboriginals of the Raitu tribe, the rest of the orc girls and some orc children are all old orc personalities. Of the ones that Ribaschin picked up on the wasteland, there were less than two hundred who could truly become female beast warriors.At that time, I customized it according to the configuration base of ten short javelins per person. I had discussed it with Kurz. After we captured the magic antelope, we would cut off the horns of the magic antelope we got, and replace those fine iron spear heads with magic spears. Antelope horns.

At the foot of the Night Wolf Cliff, after the battle with the gray dwarf bandits, the old orc Gribaschin needed a lot of manpower when drying the dried meat, so he recruited many female orcs who looked strong and strong from the wasteland. We, now these beast girls have become the backbone of guarding the Raitu tribe with the beast girls of the Raitu tribe.The loyalty of these orc girls is relatively high.

All the way from Gludin to here, many orc girls and orc children were taken in along the way. At this time, our team has exceeded 600 people.

I leaned on Yagui Beast and looked at Gerile's side face. This young orc girl has become the biggest leader of the javelin team composed of female orc warriors, and more than two hundred female orc warriors under her completely obey her. This is the last wealth that the old orc Gribasqin gave Geril.

Geril leaned on Yagui Beast's back, pointed to the burly orc werewolf bald man who was talking to Kuz in the distance, and whispered to me, "That's Chief Maxine of the Black Fang Tribe!"

I looked over from a distance, the big bald man in the wind wolf fur cloak, wearing only a pair of magic antelope leather trousers, naked and strong upper body with bronze muscles exposed, was not afraid of these winds and sands, with a huge and He had a heavy double-edged mountain axe, and he had tattoos on his face that symbolized the werewolf warriors of the orc clan. It could be seen that he was a brave warrior.

There were more than twenty wolf knights lined up behind him, showing a murderous look. I didn't expect to see wolf cavalry and orc warriors in this borderland, so it's no wonder that the swamp zombies stopped here.

The team finally continued to move forward slowly, and the news that Kuz brought back from the front was that the Blackstone Tribe was holding a grand sacrificial ceremony in Bangor Manor, Kuz was invited to attend.In my opinion, this is obviously Chief Maxine's gesture of favor to Kuz, the new blood wolf clan lord.

As I expected, Maxine, the master of the Windmill Hills and the chieftain of the Black Fang tribe, did not want to anger Kurtz.He is not afraid of the hundreds of beast girls behind Kurz, on the contrary, I guess he is very envious of the fat that is delivered to his mouth, and what he values ​​more is that these healthy beast girls can still give birth, can Bring more children to the tribe. If these beast girls can be obtained, they will add more than a thousand people to the Black Fang tribe in less than ten years.

But Kurz is not an ordinary orc boy after all. As the younger brother of Kurt, the new acting chief of the blood wolf clan, and the power hidden in the Ku family, these are far from being provoked by Chief Maxine.

After walking more than ten kilometers along the winding road in the hilly area, a large manor finally appeared in front of us.
