Mount Olympus in winter is not suitable for tourism. The originally too high altitude makes the mountainside covered with snow. And if winter comes, the entire mountain range will turn into a snow mountain.
The scenery in the North is covered in ice for thousands of miles. As winter approaches, the originally colorful mountain scenery will turn into a vast expanse of white.
Perhaps, for tourists, this is a rare beauty in the world, but for the orcs living here, it is the most cruel living hell.
For thousands of years, the northern barbarians have been accustomed to the severe cold in the north. Even young children can break the ice, bathe in ice water, and play topless in the cold winter wind, but the orcs cannot.
Hundreds of years ago, the original orc empire was in the plain area where San Jose is now. Although the habits of each orc race are different, the life that has been accustomed to living in the plain area with a comfortable climate is not suitable for the drop of water that turns into ice. of winter.
The mountains are covered with heavy snow, and food is hard to find. We have just finished the migration, and the dry food has been exhausted. It is the coldest time. Let alone food, we can¡¯t even find drinkable water. Drinking ice water directly is completely tantamount to suicide.
"If the barbarians hadn't supported the orcs at that time and taught them the survival rules and livelihood skills of the North, such as melting ice and fetching water, I'm afraid not many orcs would have survived that difficult winter.
Even though the barbarians provided a large amount of dry food, how could the barbarians, who were not used to wearing clothes themselves, have enough warm clothes? Hungry and shivering in the cold wind, they prayed that winter would pass quickly, which became the realistic mentality of the first-year orcs. .
The orcs survived the first winter after being driven into Mount Olympus. Less than 30%.
Even among the many races of orcs, there are very few that can withstand the cold. For example, the Snow Bear Orcs and Seal Orcs also experienced a significant reduction in their numbers in this ice hell.
Cold-blooded orcs such as snakemen and lizardmen will hibernate when they are frozen. Once they fall asleep, they never wake up again, and they are almost exterminated.
Only the scattered small tribes that still remain outside the mountains and such cold-blooded people exist, of course. Today's lizardmen and snakemen are already notorious bandit races. Not to mention that the orcs don't recognize them, even most of them themselves no longer admit that they are orcs.
Although today, hundreds of years later, this situation has improved, but every winter, it is still the view of life and death for the old, weak, sick and disabled.
There are still tribes. The custom of letting the elderly tribesmen leave the group to die on their own after heavy snow seals the mountains, and when food supplies are insufficient, is retained. And the coming-of-age ceremony learned from the barbarians, of letting minors fight wild beasts alone, has quickly become a ritual for everyone. The only way for an orc to pass.
Notice. The orcs do not have the secret method of incorporating the beast soul to strengthen the body. It is completely different from the barbarians who half worship their ancestors in religious rituals and half enhance the new tribesmen. The orcs choose such a coming of age ceremony, but it is completely forced by reality.
"Only the strongest tribesmen can survive. Even if the weak tribesmen become adults, they can only become a burden to the tribe. It is better to die in the coming-of-age ceremony. Becoming food for wild beasts, and wild beasts will become our food, does not count. wasted."
"Compared with the three hundred years of orc family, the orcs living in Mount Olympus are more pragmatic and cruel
?????????????? In a sense, the beast god Omas¡¯s teachings of favoring the strong and exploiting the weak were also forced out by this cruel environment.
Although the Leopard tribe is considered a strong fighting tribe among the orcs, it is a pity that in the face of one of the cruelest natural environments in the world, it is still a bit unsatisfactory. Food is always insufficient. The tribe of more than a thousand people grows old every winter. The number of deaths among the weak, sick and disabled was over half a hundred.
The colder the weather is and the shortage of food, the more powerful the monsters that still dare to come out to look for food are. And when hungry, monsters will definitely have the courage to die with the enemy, and the higher the danger of hunting.
Adult orcs died of hunting, young and old orcs died of cold and hunger, and the cold winter became a real difficulty.
The father of the cat sisters also died during a winter hunting, and their mother, after giving her rations to her daughters, did not survive the cold winter that came once in ten years.
At that time, the cat was only five years old, and Michelle had just been born There was no possibility of foraging for food alone.
Others in the clan don¡¯t have enough food. If they were ordinary orc orphans, they would probably starve to death sooner or later.
Fortunately, they are not ordinary, they are Black Panthers.
The more powerful a race is, the lower its fertility is. It takes only a thousand ordinary Leopards to have one mutant Black Panther. Their racial talents, physical strength, and martial arts talents are not comparable to ordinary Leopard orcs. They are extremely powerful. And precious.
But as a rare mutant black panther among the leopard tribe, it would be a pity to starve to death. The next year after the great disaster yearIt was a bumper harvest, and the next winter was not very difficult. The clan elder Emma called on everyone to donate food, borrowing from here and there, and scraping together here and there to help the orphaned black panthers get through it.
In the third year, the seven-year-old cat participated in the tribe's hunting and successfully killed the bronze-level violent wolf, completing his coming-of-age ceremony nine years ahead of schedule.
Less than two years after her parents died, Mao became a bronze-level assassin. This was an amazing talent she had, and she was taught it by the warriors in her clan. Other orphans might not be able to learn it even if they wanted to make friends.
¡°The Black Panther sisters are special and lucky, so they have the possibility of survivaland in most cases, once the main male of the family is injured or dies, the family may end.
It¡¯s not that the people are cruel, it¡¯s that there are too many things like this that make them numb.
If you can¡¯t even feed your own children, how can you feed other people¡¯s children?
????????????????? When a family is poor, everything is sad, and when a country is weak, all families are destroyed. After the orcs lost their country, they lived such a miserable life. Since tragedies happen every day, what can a slightly better person do?
Since the day the great orc empire was destroyed, countless orcs have hoped to change this situation. Some go out to work as mercenaries, some go out to find a circle to dominate the mountain and become the king, and some even directly lead the team to declare the founding of the country
Of course, such fanatics basically died miserably. Humans and elves, who have now become the mainstream of the main plane, will not let a new orc empire appear. Nowadays, the gods, mainly human gods and elven gods, do not expect to see the liquidated orc gods make a comeback.
There is no future in Olympus. , the young cat may not understand the truth that knowledge changes destiny, but the words "I want to see the world" and "The cat should take care of little Mia" left behind by her mother made her make a decision at a young age. .
Since he was ten years old, regardless of the opposition of his tribe, Mao took the younger Michelle and went to the mountains alone.
I have been a thief, a peddler, a black market thug, a gladiator in the arena, and an unscrupulous bodyguard. Of course, the one who has been doing it the longest and best is still a killer.
Before joining the Long Ge camp, beneath the cold face was a completely frozen heart and killing without mercy.
" Completely different from Michelle, who has a childish mentality and distinguishes between good and evil in her actions, as long as she receives enough remuneration. The men of the "Black Panther who brings doom" never ask who his target is, even if the other party agrees that it is an orc
"Identity? Age? Gender? Race? Boring! Just tell me where the target is."
The pure killing made the girl who originally had few words become even more silent.
Until one day After a confrontation with an orc killer from another gang, he killed the other party. When both parties took off their masks
The cat immediately became stupid
That¡¯s a familiar face. That, is actually the old patriarch Emma who takes care of him!
"He is indeed the most talented black panther in the clanIt's a pityIt's a pity that those quilts haven't been sent back yet"
"I will send you back."
"Are those tears Hehe. Even when your parents died, you never shed tears Aunt, should I feel honored Cat, don't feel guilty, this is not your fault This is all us orcs My life is my life!"
Cat doesn¡¯t understand what fate is. She only knows that she killed her loved ones. From that day on, she awakened the Noble Phantasm, the hourglass of time that hopes to turn back time
From that day on, as soon as she opened her mouth, the smell of blood from that day filled her mouth, making her feel suffocated. From that day on, she truly cherished words like gold.
The old clan leader came out in the second year after the cat ran away. The winter was getting colder and colder, and the conditions in the clan were getting worse and worse. Some clan members who were working as mercenaries outside came back. Seeing this situation, he advised Gold The leader of the Emma clan of warriors came out as a mercenary.
Mercenariesin a sense, they are paid thugs
The confused cats didn't know what to do, but with the advice and help of the now sensible Michelle, they began to assume the obligations of the old clan leader Using the commissions they earned, they sent food and winter clothing to the clan, so that the clan members could do their best. Live a little better.
But no matter how hard we try, the population of the clan is still slowly declining
She was confused, so she asked the wisest person in her eyes, an orc female mage from the Nine Towers the female mage Liuli.
"Go to the king of this country, Grand Duke Longge. He is the real wise man. As long as he nods, your people's life will get better and better."
For the two Black Panther assassins with astonishing talents, Grand Duke Longge happily accepted them and served them for three years, and promised to change the lives of his people.Better promises.
???????????? But the reward given to the two golden warriors by Grand Duke Long Ge was just a matter of giving two orders in an understatement and it was settled.
The first is to add a tributary to the original support line, requiring Helian merchants to do business with the Xinmu Yabao tribe once in early winter. With this, they can obtain a certain amount of financial compensation from the Helian official.
The merchant originally thought Xinmuya was far and remote, and was unwilling to go anywhere. There were no small village merchants on the map. Now that he had gold coins as compensation and an official escort, he naturally went there happily.
The arrival of traveling merchants soon changed life on Xinmu Cliff.
The ancestral animal bone handicrafts, beast furs and crystal cores are originally useless playthings to them, but they can be exchanged for food and clothing, which really makes the life of the orcs better.
Since that year, the number of winter deaths has been halved, and then it continued to decrease year by year
The second order is to add a few more seats to the kindergarten in Helien and give several Xinmuya people the right to study.
This incident shocked the cat greatly.
The financial subsidy was canceled in the third year, and the guards were withdrawn, but the business routes that had been opened did not simply end. The businessmen smelled the benefits, and even if they did not bring their own guards, the Leopard orcs who had already tasted the benefits had begun. Take the initiative to undertake security work.
The old man, who is known as a true wise man, only spent 2,000 gold coins, less than 10% of the cat's annual income, and he did something that the cat could never do
The pen can defeat the sword, perhaps, this is what the cat realized at that time.
From that day on, she asked for a place to study and began to learn to read and read from those children
But the more I study, the more I feel that if I want to change the fate of my own people, and even the fate of the entire orcs, I can't just rely on natural force.
"There must be a way"
"It's a pity that the so-called solution can't be found.
Completely change the fate of the entire orcs? The old Grand Duke shook his head, the great magisters of the Nine Towers shook their heads, and the dignitaries of the Noble Council still shook their heads
Sister Cat began to question everyone who seemed to be wise. The so-called sages were searched one after another, but unfortunately, she could never find them.
For the way to reverse fate, the cat is willing to give everything
"It's a pity that apart from attracting liars and flies, we still got nothing"
Time flies, Michelle has given up, and the cat is almost desperate, butLynn's world-famous "orc relocation plan" was inexplicably launched.
How crazy and generous it is to develop a new territory and make the entire orc tribe a citizen of Helian. However, as Prince Helian and Prince of San Jose, Linn is the only one who can realize this wild dream.
When Lin En was giving a speech, at that moment, the cat in the audience shed tears It was the second time in her life that she shed tears, and it was the first time that she shed tears for joy
"Finally found it"
But at this moment, the cold dagger attacked the "wise man" silently.
"Let me see if your determination is enough to bear all this and bear all of mine!"
