The night wind howls!
South of the karazan mountains, a dense forest about one kilometer from the canyon pass.
The trees in the dense forest were cleared out, and a bonfire was lit in the empty space in the middle. The campfire was not big. It was covered with a special gauze net. No smoke was raised. Around the campfire, there were dozens of orcs covered with black masks. They were resolute and silent. They sat on the ground and chewed their food silently.
Occasionally, he raised his hand to take the liquor from his companion.
It''s still a little chilly in the wild at this time of year, and their cold armor is not suitable for keeping out the cold.
A low roar came from the sky.
As if aware of it, the orc officer on the ground took off the gauze on the campfire, raised his hand and made a gesture, and the soldiers all around immediately scattered out of a position.
The campfire is not big, but there is no problem in providing coordinates for flying targets in the sky.
Soon.
A gust of wind blew up, and three creatures with five meters long wings and about four meters long fell from the sky. Their bodies are a bit like lions, but they have bat like wings on their forepaws. This is the slave wind, a flying creature that the orcs spent a lot of effort to domesticate. It is also the only large flying mount that has been successfully domesticated except the horned eagle of the elves.
It is said that the dwarves returning to the ground are trying to tame the Griffins living in the Mordor mountains, but the progress seems to be very slow.
Three strong orcs with sharp eyes fell from the slave. They nodded to the leader of the army. Then they sat aside and drank a wine bag without saying a word. The whole crude camp was extremely silent, except for the whistling sound of the cold wind.
The sizeable nufeng took off again and headed for the orc barracks on the other side of the karazan mountains.
The first Orc officer looked up at the night.
It was about ten o''clock in the evening, five hours before the chief planned to attack.
Before the beginning of the plan, the great shaman had given these people medicine, and their physical strength should be able to support them. Fifty seven of the most elite soldiers have been transported, and there are still 15 missing.
There should be time.
The orc officer sat down again, took the bottle from a strong Orc soldier with a scar on his face, and poured it into his mouth.
………………
-----------------------------------
One in the morning.
Seventy two of the most elite Orc fighters gathered in the cleared camp.
The bonfire has been put out.
Under the faint starlight, you can only see green eyes. The eyes of the people who kill people are green. The half beast who has bloodthirsty blood in the blood is born with green eyes.
Like a wolf!
They are the descendants of the orcs of the bear goblin and frost wolf clan, and they are also the most elite and intrepid warriors in the whole Orc tribe.
The orc officer looked around. He raised his hand and made a gesture. The orc soldiers around him began to sit down and chew the cured jerky from his waist pocket.
Before the fight.
The soldiers must have enough to kill. This is one of the reasons why the chief has taught it since childhood.
These jerkies come from jackals.
In fact, the orcs have been short of food since last winter. The orc empire was able to bring them weapons and equipment, but there was no way to bring them a lot of food. To maintain the army''s food, they need to plunder themselves, plunder from the hands of mankind!
Fortunately, there are jackals after the defeat.
Nearly 50000 jackal captives provided some food for the orcs. At least it can support them to start war ahead of time.
Chewing the dried meat in his mouth, gusas frost wolf coldly looks at the orc soldiers around him.
Jackal meat is not good.
In contrast, it prefers the plump venison.
As an intelligent life, it also rejects other humanoid creatures as food.
But now there is no other way. There is not much food in the clan. In order to provide for the front-line soldiers, some women, children and children can only eat one meal a day.
Gusas frost wolf is the chief''s illegitimate son.
Everyone in this tribe knows. It is cruel and violent, just like its father, the warrior who tore the Ogre with empty hands.
As one of the top Orc tribes.
It knows very well how important this war is to the orc clan.
And as the key to victory, how decisive is tonight''s surprise attack!
It can''t fail!
Failure is not allowed!
The banished orcs had a very hard life, no fertile land, and not enough food. Even if you work hard again, you can''t grow much food in a place like loess high slope! Many people freeze to death every winter, and many children die in every heavy snow. Hunger and cold, in the memory of gusas frost wolf, I heard too many children crying hungry!
Only return to the orc Empire, only to become a part of the orc Empire again.
The clan can have fertile land and enough food. No more hunger and cold for all people!
Now the opportunity is here.
The descendants of the giants assisted the mammoths in an attempt to cross the Centaur''s territory and attack the rear of the Empire. The reserve granary of the Empire was disturbed, and the food supply of the front line was in trouble. But the intentions of the descendants of the giants were perceived by the great beast shaman. So the orc Empire helped the orc clans, who had a very difficult life, to cross the nidoria River to the rocky highlands to intercept the mammoth army.
The front line of the Empire had fallen into a stalemate, and the twelve imperial regiments were held in the north by the descendants of the giants.
As long as we can stop the mammoth''s attack and wait for the Empire to release its troops, the clan will be accepted by the Empire again and become a part of the orcs.
This is a rare opportunity for orcs who have a very difficult life!
As an intelligent race, orcs have never thought of conquering human beings, because several wars in history have proved this. Although human beings are weak and small, it is very difficult for other races to defeat them unless they are giants like the orc empire or the descendants of giants.
Because of their huge population of more than three million, they have been able to face the challenges of many races.
The Empire was able to find a way to bring weapons, but it was not able to send large amounts of food.
The orcs have to find a way to support the army.
Is that impossible?
Then all that''s left is the snatch!
Where to rob?
Who else is there but the people of the southern plains?
By using the jackal, the clan has gained a foothold. As long as it can break through the canyon, the clan''s army can march in.
After plundering the food, the clan''s army could move westward to intercept the mammoths.
The canyon, which was originally used to defend against clan attacks, can in turn serve as a military fortress against human counter attacks!
Leaving 20000 soldiers, led by the big shaman.
I''m afraid humans may not be able to capture it in a short time, because the blood of many orcs has proved how unbreakable it is!

************************************************************************************************
About two thirty in the morning.
The orc officer took a green look around and nodded solemnly.
It took up the weapon on the ground, covered its face with the black towel, and walked out of the dense forest. Behind him, 72 of the most elite Orc warriors came up in silence.
They move very fast, like a cheetah in the forest.
………………
That night.
Kanas zarot didn''t sleep well all the time.
Because he had a bad premonition that he couldn''t sleep at ease.
Suddenly, he heard a sharp alarm.
Kanas zarot, who had always been sleeping in his armor on the battlefield, immediately stood up and drove to the fortress wall with his own guards who were also awakened.
But as soon as he arrived, he was shocked by the situation in front of him!
Before five giant catapults were pushed down to the battlefield, a group of orcs were busy operating under the catapults.
What''s going on?
How could these orcs make such giant siege equipment!
Since there''s a catapult.
Why didn''t they use them before?
Just as Kanas zarot was full of consternation, a huge explosion came from behind the fortress!
The voice suddenly made Kanas zarote, a general who had experienced too many wars, pale.
If he heard it right.
This explosion is gunpowder, and it''s the secret gunpowder of the dwarves!
How did these orcs bypass the back of the fort? And how can there be dwarf secret gunpowder in the hand!?
The sound of the war drum!
Giant catapults began to operate, and the front and back of the fortress echoed at the same time.
Kanas zarote silently put his hand on the weapon that he had not used for a long time. He now knew in his heart that the fortress could not be held tonight. It''s just that he didn''t expect the orcs to hide so much!
The cold wind howled.
"Give him the fastest horse!"
Kanas zarote pointed to the youngest bodyguard beside him and said solemnly: "now go to Athens! To meet the Lord Murphy! Tell him the orcs have gunpowder! We shall go now! Come on
"You escort him out!"
If the canyon is broken, the orcs'' next target must be Athens.
Athens is broken.
The half beast army without worries can drive straight in!
