A Song of Ice and Fire: The Magic Empire of the Plane Where the Song Begins - Chapter 283
For the orcs, if the enemy is like ogres, they may kill all the ogres after victory, but the traditional orcs like Durotan will not leave their hands on the battlefield. But the pride of the orcs will not allow them to slaughter unarmed foes.
After Durotan obtained the Oakland capital, he did not continue to kill, but gathered the materials he had already obtained, and held a meeting with the clan chiefs to discuss the next course of action.
Even though they have occupied the royal capital of Oakland, the area of land in the hands of the orcs is less than half of the total area of Oakland.
The remaining large tracts of land are still in the hands of the Oaklanders themselves. This time, the operation failed to capture Oakland’s royal family. Even if the Oakland royal family left the palace, they would still quickly gather their troops and fight the orcs again.
Durotan called the clan chiefs of the tribe to discuss the next strategy and the resettlement of the land that has been acquired, especially the disposal of humans on the land under control.
Today’s tribes don’t need huge sacrifices to open the door of darkness, so they don’t need to capture captives everywhere, so how to deal with these humans is a problem.
Some of the chiefs proposed to turn these humans into slaves for the tribe to use. Many chiefs opposed this suggestion.
Not all orc clans accept slavery, but many clans are opposed to slavery, because in Draenor, orcs have fought ogres and gronns for a long time, and a considerable number of orcs have been killed by this. Two races enslaved.
The famous Broken Hand clan was formed by these slaves. Its chief, Coggs Fistblade, used a stone to smash his left hand in order to get rid of the handcuffs that bound him. A large number of slaves followed suit. A clan composed of a group of disabled people, and now they still have one hand destroyed when they are coming of age. What about the barbaric tradition of arming. By the way, these brainless orcs are now in Blackhand’s tribe.
What’s ridiculous is that there are indeed many slaves in Blackhand’s tribe. The former Garona was Gul’dan’s slave, and the orcs who fell in love with fel energy are farther and farther away from tradition, and their temperament has also been greatly affected.
In the tribe of Durotan, the orcs who have been devastated by the slave system have a lot of resistance to the slave system. Even in the social order of the orcs who eat the weak, there are indeed hard workers who work hard all day long, but even so, those orcs are also You are free, you can choose to leave at any time.
The orcs were very disgusted by such a move. The orcs’ sense of glory prevented them from taking the initiative to kill prisoners. The orcs didn’t want to let go of these people in vain. opinion, and finally everyone threw this nerve-wracking question to Warchief Durotan.
Durotan was also troubled. As a warchief, he had to consider a lot of issues. After thinking about it, he still made a decision:
“This war is our victory, but the enemy has not been defeated by us, and the battle will continue.
I’m not worried about Oakland. According to our information, Oakland is the weakest among the seven human kingdoms.
This time, we occupied the most difficult capital of Oakland to conquer. Their king went to other places. Without the support of this city, there is no way to fight against us!
Oakland, I’m not worried, what I’m worried about is that other kingdoms are forces joining a war.
In the south, our compatriots, Blackham is leading his tribe to fight against the kingdom of Stormwind. On the plains, the kingdom of Stormwind has been able to fight against us orcs for so long, which shows that there is still merit in weak humans. .
I’m not worried about Oakland. The remnants have been defeated. They have been driven to the east by the tribe, and they will pursue the victory. After a few more battles, we will be able to completely occupy Oakland.
What I’m worried about is Lordaeron further east, a subjugated kingdom no weaker than Stormwind Kingdom. If it joins the battle, what should we do. “
All the chiefs present showed a strong will to fight, and there was a commotion from below. Durotan waved his hand to stop everyone’s discussion, and continued:
“I know that everyone here is not afraid of war, but the blood of our orcs cannot be shed in vain, and our struggles are all for the survival of the tribe.
For some time now, Ner’zhul’s tribe has traded with us, and everyone has discovered that, apart from having to deal with demons from time to time, Ner’zhul’s tribe is the one with the best living conditions among our three tribes. .
Everyone can trust me as your chief, so I will take responsibility and let everyone live a good life! “
Instead of whispering, the orcs below began to think about Durotan’s words.
