Chapter two hundred and eighty third looking for
Mount Olympus in winter is not suitable for tourism. The originally high altitude makes the mountainside covered with snow. If winter comes, the entire mountain range will turn into snowy mountains.
The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away. The more winter comes, the colorful mountain scenery will turn into a vast white area.
Perhaps, this is a rare beauty for tourists, but for the orcs living here, it is the most cruel living hell.
For millions of years, the northern barbarians who have been accustomed to the severe cold of the north can even break the ice layer and bathe with ice water, and play with naked body in the cold wind in winter, but orcs can't do it.
Hundreds of years ago, the original Orc Empire was the plain area where San Jose is now. Although the habits of each orc race are different, life that is used to living in a plain area with a comfortable climate is not suitable for the cold winter when water turns into ice.
The mountains are covered with heavy snow, and food is hard to find. The migration has just ended, and the dry food is exhausted. It is the coldest time. Not to mention eating, you can’t even find the water you can drink. Drinking ice water directly is completely suicide.
If the barbarians had not supported the orcs at that time and taught them the survival rules and living skills of the northern land such as melting ice and getting water, I'm afraid that few orcs would have survived that difficult winter.
Even though the barbarians provided a lot of dry food, how could the barbarian who was not used to wearing clothes have enough warm clothes? He was trembling in the cold wind while hungry, praying that winter would pass quickly, becoming the orc's solid mentality of the first year.
After being driven into Mount Olympus, less than 30% of the orcs survived the first winter.
Even among the various orc races, a very small number of races that can withstand cold, such as snow bear orcs, and seal orcs, have significantly reduced their staff in this ice hell.
Cold-blooded orcs like snake people and lizard people even hibernate as they are frozen. Once they fall asleep, they never wake up again and are almost exterminated.
Only the scattered tribes that still remain outside the mountains, and there are such cold-blooded people. Of course, the lizards and snakes are now infamous robber races. Not to mention that the orcs do not recognize them, most of them themselves no longer admit that they are orcs.
Although this situation has improved hundreds of years later, every winter is still the view of life and death of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.
There are still tribes. After the snowy mountain was blocked, the habit of letting the old tribes leave the crowd and break the ground by themselves when there was insufficient food. The coming-of-age ceremony learned from the barbarians, which allowed minors to fight wild beasts alone, quickly became the only way for every orc.
Note. Orcs do not integrate the secret method of enhancing the body of beast souls, which is completely different from the religious rituals that semi-sacrifice to ancestors and the barbarians of the newborn tribe. The orcs choose such an adult ritual is completely forced by reality.
"Only the strongest tribe can survive. Even if the weak tribe grows up, they can only become a burden to the tribe. It is better to die in the coming-of-age ceremony. Become the food of wild beasts, and the food of wild beasts will become our food, which is not a waste."
Compared with the orc family that has been around for three hundred years, the orcs who live in Mount Olympus are more pragmatic and cruel...
In a sense, the doctrine of the beast god Omas, who keeps the strong and can do the weak, was also forced out by this cruel environment.
Although the leopard tribe is considered a powerful warrior among the orcs, unfortunately, in the face of the cruel natural environment in the world, it is still a bit inadequate. Food is always insufficient. Tribes with over 1,000 people die in winter, among the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, in the winter of winter, the death toll of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled is over fifty years old.
The colder the weather is, the shortage of food is. The more powerful the monsters that still dare to come out for food are. When hungry, the monsters will definitely have the courage to die with the enemy, and the more dangerous they are to hunt.
Adult orcs die from hunting, young orcs die from cold and hunger, and the cold winter becomes a real difficulty.
The cat sister's father also died of a misfortune during a winter hunt, while their mother did not survive the cold winter that happened once a decade after giving her food to her daughter.
Back then, the cat was only five years old, and Michelle was just born... She didn't have the possibility of foraging alone.
Others in the clan have no spare food. If they are ordinary orcs orphans, they may end up starving to death sooner or later.
Fortunately, they are not ordinary, they are black panthers.
The stronger the race, the lower the fertility. Only thousands of ordinary leopard tribes have a black panther variant. In terms of racial talent, maximum strength, and martial arts talent are not comparable to ordinary leopard orcs. They are extremely powerful and precious.
But as a rare mutant black panther in the leopard tribe, it would be a pity if it starved to death. The second year after the disaster is often a bumper harvest, and the winter of the second year is not very sad. The elder Emma of the clan called on everyone to donate grain, borrow from east to west, and let the orphans of the black panther survive.
In the third year, the seven-year-old cat participated in the tribe's hunting and successfully killed the bronze-level wild wolf, completing his coming-of-age ceremony that was nine years ahead of schedule.
Less than two years after her parents died, the cat became a bronze-level assassin. This is her amazing talent and is taught by Su Xin, a warrior in the clan. Other orphans may not be able to learn even if they want to get along with each other.
The Black Panther sisters are special and lucky, so they have the possibility of survival... and in most cases, once the main male in the family is injured or died, the family may end there.
It’s not that the clan members are cruel, but that there are too many such things, and they all feel numb.
Even if you can’t feed your own children, what can you use to feed other people’s children?
If the family is poor and everything is sad, the country is weak and the family is destroyed, and after the orcs lose their country, they live such a tragic life. Since tragedy happens every day, what can a slightly better person do?
From the day the Orc Empire was destroyed, countless orcs hoped to change this situation. Some people went out to work as mercenaries, some people went out to find a circle to occupy the mountains and become kings, and even directly led teams to announce the founding of the country...
Of course, these madmen basically died miserably. Now humans and elves, who have become the mainstream of the main plane, will not allow a new orc empire to appear. Now, the gods, mainly human gods and elves, will not expect to see the liquidated orc gods come back.
There is no future in Mount Olympus. The truth that knowledge changes destiny may not be understood when young cats may not understand, but the mother took away the words "I want to go out and see the world" and "The cats need to take care of Xiao Mia" that left behind, but the young she made a choice.
Since the age of ten, despite the opposition of his tribe, the cat took Mi Xue, the younger one, and went to the mountains alone.
A thief has been made by a small vendor, a black market thug, a gladiator has been made by a gladiator, and an illegal bodyguard has been made by him. Of course, the longest and best one is still a killer.
Before joining the Dragon Song camp, under the cold face, there was a completely frozen heart and a killing without mercy.
It is completely different from Michelle, who has a childish mentality, behavior and distinguish between good and evil. As long as he receives enough rewards, the subordinates of the "Black Panther who brings bad luck" never ask who his target is, even if the other party agrees to be an orc...
"Identity? Age? Gender? Race? Boring! It's enough to tell me where the goal is."
The pure killing made the girl who had few words more silent.
Until one day... after confronting another gang's orc killer, he killed the other party, and when both sides took off their masks...
The cat was stunned immediately...
That was a familiar face. That was actually the old patriarch Emma who took care of himself!
"...It's worthy of being the best talented black panther in the clan... It's a pity... It's a pity, that batch of quilts have not been sent back yet..."
"I will send it back."
"Is that tears... Haha. Even if your parents die, you have never shed tears... Auntie, should I feel honored... Cat, don't feel guilty, this is not your fault... This is all the life of our orcs, it is fate!"
What is fate? The cat doesn't understand. She only knows that she killed her relatives. From that day on, she awakened the treasure, the hourglass of the time that expected time to regress...
From that day on, as soon as she opened her mouth, the smell of blood spread throughout her mouth, making her feel suffocated. From that day on, she truly became more precious to her words.
The old patriarch came out the second year after the cat left. The winter was getting colder and colder, and the conditions in the clan became worse and worse. Some clan members who were working as mercenaries outside came back. Seeing this situation, they persuaded the Emma clan leader, who was already a golden warrior, to come out and become mercenaries.
Mercenaries... in a sense, they are thugs who give money...
The confused cats didn't know what to do, but with the advice and help of Michelle who was already sensible, they began to assume the obligations of the old patriarch... and used the commissions they earned to send food and winter clothing to the tribe, so that the tribe members could live as much as possible.
But... no matter how hard it works, the population of the tribe is still slowly decreasing...
She was confused, so she asked the wisest person in her eyes, a female orc mage from Jiuta..... female mage Liuli.
"Go and find the king of this country, Lord Long Ge. He is the real wise man. As long as he nods, your tribe's life will get better and better."
The two Black Panther Assassins with amazing talents, Long Ge happily accepted it, and served it for three years, and made a promise to make the lives of the tribe members better.
However, the rewards from the two golden strong men were only given two orders lightly and solved.
First, add a tributary to the original support line, requiring Herien merchants to go to the Xinmuya Leopard Tribe to do business once in the early winter, and rely on this to obtain certain financial compensation from Herien's official government.
The merchants originally thought that Xinmu Cliff was far away and remote, and they were reluctant to go anywhere, but there were no small villages and travelers on the map. Now, with gold coins compensation and official guards, they naturally went there happily.
The arrival of the travel merchants soon changed life on Xinmu Cliff.
The ancestral beast bone crafts, wild beast fur and crystal core were originally useless toys to them, but they could be exchanged for food and clothing, which really made the orcs' lives better.
Since that year, the number of deaths in winter has dropped by half, and then it has dropped year by year...
The second order was to give Herien's kindergarten teaching hall a few more seats and give several Xinmuya tribe members the right to study.
This incident shocked the cat a lot.
The funding subsidy was cancelled in the third year and the guards were withdrawn, but the commercial routes that had been opened did not simply end. The merchants smelled the interests, and even if they did not bring their own guards and had tasted the sweetness, the leopard orcs who had already started to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the responsibility of guarding.
The eldest prince, known as a true wise man, only spent 2,000 gold coins, and less than 10% of the cat's annual income, he did something that cats could never do...
The pen can beat the sword, perhaps it was the cat's experience at that time.
From that day on, she asked for a quota for study and began to learn to read with the children...
But the more you specialize in research, the more you feel that you should change the fate of your own tribe and even the fate of the entire orc, but you cannot rely solely on talented force.
"Sure, there is a way..."
Unfortunately, the so-called method can't be found no matter how.
To completely change the fate of the entire orc? The eldest prince shook his head, the great magicians of the Nine Towers shook their heads, and the powerful people in the noble council still shook their heads...
The cat sisters began to ask every person who seemed wise. The so-called sages looked for one after another, but unfortunately, she could never find them.
For the way to turn your destiny, the cat is willing to give everything...
Unfortunately, except for attracting scammers and flies, they still gained nothing...
Time flies, Michelle has given up, and the cat is almost desperate, but... Lynn's world-renowned "orc migration plan" has been released inexplicably.
How crazy and big it is to develop a new territory and make the entire orc group a citizen of Herien, but as Prince Herien and Prince San Jose, Lynn is the only one who can realize this crazy statement.
When Lynn was giving a speech, at that moment, the cat in the audience cried... It was the second time she cried in her life, and it was the first time she cried because of joy...
"Finally found..."
But at this moment, the cold dagger silently attacked the "wisdom man".
"Let me see if your determination is enough to take on all this and take on all my things!"
