Chapter 576 – Argument 2
“Everyone!” Abal shouted to his loyal men.

“This time, I’ve summoned you all here in order to determine the direction of our next raid.”

The big chief’s tone was incredibly serious, with a hint of eagerness and anxiety in it; in his mind, this was a good time that the orcs hadn’t encountered in a thousand years.

The Kingdom of Aldo in the south of the Rocky Mountains was once the hegemon of the western end of the continent, but the status of this hegemon was closely related to her kingship. At the height of Aldo’s kingship, the influence of the Crystal Flare far exceeded the territories it ruled juridically. To the northeast of the kingdom, across the Nerodan Corridor, is a vast desert dotted with oases like chains of pearls, where human city-states, once subservient to the mighty kingdom of Aldo, were sheltered by the kingdom’s legions of Wardens who guarded the Nerodan Corridor. Over the centuries, under Aldo’s leadership, the human coalition has penetrated the steppe several times to crush the forces that tried to unite the orcs, leaving the steppe in a state of disarray.

However, a hundred years ago, the royal power of Jingyao began to gradually decline, especially in the last fifty years, Jingyao’s dominance over the country has declined very rapidly, so that when the current King Nidro XVII succeeded to the throne, the kingdom’s territory had already formed the Jarls family and the Vibran family, such as the powerful enough to fight against the royal family of the cutthroat lords. The decline of the center of power also affects beyond the borders of the kingdom, the royal family to maintain the rule of the country is already exhausted, for such as the Watcher’s Legion such as the support of the border army is naturally not as strong as before, the Watcher’s Legion had to shrink their own forces, from the prairie and desert oasis all the way back to the kingdom’s northeastern gate of the Inner Rhodan corridor.

After losing the joint suppression of the humans, Zarg, who had once led the tribes of the orcs, took advantage of the situation to rise, vowing to pick up the glory of the legendary King’s Tent and recreate the glorious history of the orcs’ fight against the Gubela Empire, and this time, their goal is even greater than that of their ancestors – to penetrate into the world of the human race and rule over them.

After countless battles, Zarg around the orc tribes, has directly or indirectly submitted to the rule of the king’s tent, the influence of the big chief of the radiation area is huge and vast, the north to the endless ice field, south to the Rocky Mountains and the oasis of the human countries, the west to the Lucky Forest, the east to the other big human country gabella, located in the northwestern part of the continent of the prairie has been firmly placed in the orc leader’s control! The grassland in the northwestern part of the continent has been firmly placed under the control of this orc leader.

After ruling the grasslands, the king’s tent must find a new goal, the glory of the orcs can not be limited to the grasslands, this is the unanimous view of the people in the king’s tent.

This is the unanimous view of the people in the royal tent. However, the people were divided on where to expand to in the next stage.

One faction believes that we should continue to unify the orc world, the grassland located in the interior is immense, the grassland in the north of the Rocky Mountains is only a part of it, the grassland seems to be boundless to the east of the inland, and the grassland in the east is still wandering in the orc tribes of all sizes, and at the same time located in the western part of the grassland of the Lucky Forest there are also orc civilization branches! –Forest Orcs who have become accustomed to fishing and hunting. This faction believes that all the orc tribes on the continent should be gathered under the rule of the king’s tent first, but this faction is also divided on whether to conquer the forest orcs first or to go inland to the grassland.

Another faction believes that now the king’s tent has enough power to attack the human world – of course, the orcs call it revenge, the king’s tent once promised to give the tribes with the subjugation of a good and rich life, so that they are in the land of milk and honey to flourish, the promise is to be fulfilled, and continue to subjugate the grasslands of the poor relatives can receive a few pennies! and only by bringing the affluent human world under their rule can they fulfill their promises. After losing the shelter of the Watcher’s Legion, the oasis countries have faced the orcs several times, in addition to each time to offer a large amount of wealth, and even more have secretly expressed submission, which means that the orcs have already had a deep south of the jumping off point of the human world, and the west of Aldo and the east of the Gabela also encountered different degrees of crisis, to and from the prairie caravan brought to make the king’s tent of the people even more happy news, the spiritual leader of the human world – the human world, the spirit of the world, and the world of the human world. The spiritual leader of the human world, the Church of Light, is deeply involved in the religious strife in the Horn Bay, in the past, the human countries have internal or external conflicts, the Church has always played the role of a mediator, coupled with the religious reasons, to a certain extent, played the role of cohesion of the human world, and now they should not have this energy. Now they should not have this energy.

Isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
“Infiltrate the lucky woods to the west!” “No, the attack should continue to the eastern grasslands.”

“You’re all wrong, Aldo is a big fat sheep now, it’s a waste not to eat.”

“I think it’s better to hit Gabella, it’s said that Gabella is located in the center of this land, controlling the center of the continent, the advantage is greatly there.”

“Stupid, occupy the center of the continent? Let the surrounding humans come together to surround us?”

When the Grand Chief Abar stated his question, for a while the tent was filled with all sorts of suggestions, with everyone voicing their opinions.

“Great Chief.” Eugene as the merchant manager of the king’s tent was in favor of taking control of the Lucky Forest first, “I think we still need to accumulate our wealth first, with wealth we can buy more iron armor weapons to equip our warriors, although we orcs are brave and fierce, but ultimately it is a flesh and blood body, against the human’s swords it is still at a disadvantage, only with the same equipment as them can we exert our The only way to utilize our advantage is to have the same equipment as them. There are endless treasures in the Lucky Forest, especially animal fur, loved by human nobles, they are willing to take out gold to buy, there are also those plants that can be used as medicinal herbs, can also be exchanged for a lot of wealth. With the Lucky Forest, we can use the money we traded from the humans to buy human weapons again, and then make our warriors stronger, and attacking the human world will be easier.”

“Chief Eugene has a point.” Grand Chief Abal nodded and seemed to agree with him.

“Father!” Aguirre was anxious, he was in favor of going ahead and attacking the Gabella Empire first. “Gabella’s two emperors are in a very sharp conflict right now, which also means that their country’s power is spread out, the major lords of the empire are watching to see who gets the throne, in case one of them wins, then the empire will have a backbone again, and it will be difficult for us to attack Gabella.”

“Aguirre has a point.” The Great Chief nodded as well.
