Lizardmen to the south.

In order for the Orcs to gain a more fertile ground, they had to invade the territory of other races. However, the invasion failed, and the orcs either sat down with the goblins or had to return to the east from where they came.

Most of them stayed in Pantonia.

I didn’t set the ground to become a resident.

Since Pantonia was easy to advance in any direction, it was easy to plunder, so it took root to make it a plundering base.

After the Orcs and Goblins settled down in Pantonia, the targets of plunder were not only other races, but also their own kind, and in terms of ratio, there were more of their own kind than all other races combined.

If they attacked their own people, they didn’t have to go far.

Because the concept of an orc, let alone a nation, was thin, each individual was in a state of struggle against each other. Therefore, it was extremely rare for orcs to unite under one tribe, one chieftain.

But now the vast majority of Orcs and Goblins are united under one tribe, one tribe.

The tribe’s name is Black Sun.

The chieftain’s name was Ginoric.

‘What shall I do now?’

Ginoric pondered while eating meat in the hut.

Orcs were a race that did not think deeply, and Ginoric was also an orc, so he did not think well, but at this moment he continued to think carefully and deeply.

It had to be.

I had to point out the next loot target.

“Elf!”

The goblin hit the floor with the Lizardman’s leg bone.

“Let’s rob the big-eared guy! Leader!”

Ginoric snorted.

“A goblin? How are you going to rob it?”

“how? I do not know! Shave it off!”

I took his leg bone and hit him on the head.

“You fool! We can attack the dwarves. But you can’t catch a dwarf! I can’t cross the dwarf’s fortress, so how are you going to catch him!”

The orcs and goblins, who had gathered in the hut and chattered about each other, opened their eyes wide and looked at Ginorik.

“That’s for the captain to think about.”

“What should the captain do?”

“These idiots…”

Ginoric kicked the goblin and let out a snort.

“If you don’t like a guy with long ears, you can also go short!”

“dumpy? You mean a dwarf?”

Ginoric shook his head.

From noble mtl dot com

Dwarves were more vicious in some ways.

Because they are a tribe that settles in the mountains and goes deep.

Each stronghold was a natural underground fortress.

“Then mosquitoes!”

“hmm.”

The vampire was a little worried.

Originally, a force on a par with elves and dwarves.

However, thanks to humans, the tax has been drastically tilted.

“mosquito! Hitting everyone together! Worth it!”

Since the representative system is in fact publicly proclaimed, it is being beaten from all sides, so if you help with one hand, you will be able to earn a decent income.

“no! Mosquitoes are still strong. I heard that the long-eared fairy lost a while ago.”

But even if a rich man perishes, he said that three years will go.

Vlad’s vampire empire persevered despite being attacked from all sides.

Before the war, it seemed to collapse due to internal divisions, but when foreign enemies invaded, the divisions were sealed and desperately resisted.

“It became mosquitoes. I intervened for no reason, but I can’t even find the money.”

“Lizards are fine too! Gross, but delicious!”

The Lizardman was an easy opponent.

Unlike the previous three races, it is not a threat.

It wasn’t an easy opponent, but at least it wasn’t to the level of worrying about the success of the plunder or the damage.

“It’s empty due to mosquito attacks!”

In addition, there are even rumors that there is a considerable power gap on the mainland because they are actively participating in the war against Vlad.

“A water snake?”

“You can’t cross the sea.”

Since the outgoing base is an island, pass through.

“There are humans too!”

Ginoric smiled, revealing yellow teeth.

“Um… human.”

Only good memories came to mind.

Didn’t he come this far thanks to humans?

“Leader. People helped me a lot.”

“Ughdash, humans killed.”

Ughdash of the Iron Mist tribe.

He was a young Orc who was supported by many tribes because he was as smart as Ginoric but still had his savagery.

He was quite vigilant because he was also the center of the tribe that rebelled against him, but he died while doing business with humans or something.

“human. It is a grateful monkey.”

At that time, Ginoric felt that his cavity was missing.

After the death of Ugdash, it absorbed several tribes that had lost their pivot, but the tribes that still rebelled were sent down to the human realm to deal with them, pretending to follow the proposal of the great cause to attack humans.

The result of getting rid of internal enemies and receiving rewards from the representative system.

Those tribes still revolting against him were exiled to the plains of Nehrup, inducing the Imperium of Man to weed them out. Thanks to him, there are few tribes left that do not follow him.

‘No other Orc would have been able to lead a larger group than me.’

Ginoric got drunk at the thought and let out a laugh.

“Humans are fine too.”

“human! it’s good! I ate it!”

“He looks like a guy with long ears! Humans are good as long as they don’t have long ears!”

But being grateful and looting were two different things.

Until now, if there was something lacking, it was enough to rob the tribes that rebelled against him, but now that there are only a few tribes that rebel against him, that is not possible.

Therefore, an outward expedition is inevitable.

Historically, when Orcs and Goblins came together under one banner, there was a reason for their fearsome raiding.

Pantonia and Nehrup weren’t enough to feed the two races, and there was no reason to fight each other internally.

Saturated power must burst outward.

‘Where shall we go now?’

That was Ginoric’s concern.

Where do you release the power you can no longer contain?

‘In my opinion, I want to aim for elves, but…’

Since the Great Migration of the Orcs, the Elves had built a high barrier on the border and surrounded themselves with magic, so there was no way to directly cross over from Pantonia to the Elven territory.

Detours are not easy, and successful cases have been extremely rare.

Even that was successful because a small group luckily found a gap and went undetected. If Ginoric moved, it would surely be discovered.

‘Realistically a lizard or a monkey. I’ll have to choose one or the other.’

Just as he was thinking about it, a goblin jumped into the hut.

“Leader! Humans are invading!”

“what?”

Ginoric blinked.

“Isn’t it weeding out from the four loops?”

“no! Coming up from Nehrup to Pantonia! They say there are a lot of them!”

###

pop! Perbung! pop!

Field guns opened fire at the northern edge of the Nehrup Plain.

As more than 60 field artillery pieces tore through 30,000 Orcs and Goblins with direct fire, the offensive was cut short.

“Magic! Humans use magic!”

Even though it has been nearly three years since mankind used gunpowder weapons, most of the heterogeneous people did not even know that gunpowder existed, and even if they did know, they had no experience using it as a weapon.

Perbung! pop!

Therefore, the explosion caused by the gunpowder and the appearance of his fellow tribesmen collapsed after the explosion was gone, even the orcs full of fighting spirit were surprised and stopped rushing.

“The musketeers! from now on!”

While the enemy hesitated, the musketeers advanced to the front.

8,000 musketeers. Dressed in wild gray military uniforms, with gunpowder barrels slung from belts worn diagonally, they passed the field batteries and lined up in three rows.

“aiming!”

Even if the artillery had reduced the number of enemies, how many would have been captured with 60 guns? The number of enemies reached 30,000, so it was only a few hundred at most.

Realizing too late that there was no damage, the enemy regained his senses and continued to charge.

“human!”

But by then it was already too late.

“Shoot!”

Tadadadadang!

A volley of fire by musketeers amounting to one division and one regiment.

The shots fired from close range pierced the orcs and goblins without missing a single shot, and killed dozens of times the number of enemies torn apart by the 60 field cannons.

“——!”

An inexplicable scream erupted from the crowd of enemies.

I surveyed the battlefield through a telescope on top of the hill.

The fusiliers were blinded by the smoke and were busy loading the next bullet. They must have been afraid that the enemy would suddenly attack from beyond the smoke caused by the black powder.

But through the smoke I saw the hordes of orcs and goblins halting again.

“charge!”

After that, as usual, the horse-riding family charged.

The number of people mobilized for the expedition was 723, or 8 battalions.

They acted as cavalry, slaughtering the shocked enemy with artillery and musketeers.

“Long live the Emperor!”

Bubber Bubbubuck—

Even if only 700 cavalrymen were shot in front of their noses, it was impossible to annihilate more than 20,000 remaining enemies with a single charge.

However, the charge did not stop, and after passing through the enemy lines, they continued to charge again, and when the musketeers continued to fire a second volley, they collapsed without being able to resist.

“No prisoners needed!”

“Kill them all! This is what His Majesty wants!”

Just as the musketeers unified their uniforms, the armed forces also unified their weapons. In the past, they did not wear armor or chose their main weapon according to their specialties, but the Imperial Army reorganized it properly.

If the musketeers were cotton, it was the exact opposite of wearing a cloth military uniform and discarding armor.

The subordinates were heavily armed with body armor and carried large lances, so that the lance charge continued immediately after the volley. After the charge was successful, they fought freely with their main weapons.

“How is it?”

Minister of Military Affairs Gehard, who was watching the game next to me, asked.

Previously, he would have led his subordinates directly at the forefront, but now Army Chief Jekt served as the subordinate commander and led them, and Gehard served as the imperial army commander who stood behind the musketeers.

If there is a field commander who can replace the two people, in the future, the two people will be responsible for administrative work in the rear to suit their main duties. But not now.

“The number is too small. Even if the artillery, musketeers, and cavalry unite, the impact of the first battle is not great because all three are insufficient in number.”

The tactics used by the imperial army were simple.

The artillery unit fires in advance, and when the enemy gets close, the musketeers move forward and fire a volley, and while the shocked enemy hesitates, the subordinate cavalry charge and finish.

“Originally, the musketeers had to fire a volley and then charge with the cavalry to expand the battle. However, the gunmen are not up to the level of close combat with the different races, so they are retreating after firing a volley. If there are enough musketeers and cavalry, that would be fine, but in a situation where both are insufficient, it is too awkward.”

It was a simple but effective combined arms tactic, but the lack of numbers was a huge flaw.

If the enemy was accustomed to gunpowder weapons, he was more likely to engage the musketeers in close combat after the volley before the cavalry could charge them.

If that happens, it will be difficult to protect the musketeers with less than a thousand men, and considerable damage will be done to the musketeers.

Gerhard nodded.

“Time will tell the numbers. With time, the number of followers will increase, and the entire Imperial army will be armed with flintlock muskets. You don’t have to worry.”

“hmm.”

“Rather than that, if it weren’t for magic, I would have introduced Tercio as an alternative before then…”

We saw the Imperials behind the musketeers.

Most of them were carrying long spears, to go out to the front and protect the musketeers in case of emergency. I’m not sure how helpful it will be.

“No Tercio. In close formation, if you fight a race that is good at magic, it will only cause a mass death in one blow.”

Even if it wasn’t for magic, the average level of the imperial army was in the early teens, so if you were to face a heterogeneous infantry unit with an average level approaching 40, no matter how tightly you put your long spears up, they were no better than toothpicks.

It was a suicide attempt for today’s humans to deal with a different race with a cold weapon.

“The spearmen should be used just for decoration.”

“I can’t help it.”

The battle was soon over.

When the musket vomited fire for the fourth time, the enemy rode away and the men of the house drove the horses and knocked them down.

‘This is the end of the remaining Orcs and Goblins in Neloop.’

I looked down at the tens of thousands of corpses and thought.

This battle was different from the previous weeding out.

It was a strategy to divide the clan into several groups and attack the villages of Orcs and Goblins simultaneously, and to annihilate the group that had lost their base and gathered in one place in a single battle.

‘But this is only temporary stability. Because Nehrup is not the stronghold of Orcs or Goblins, but a temporary ground for the stragglers expelled from their stronghold. As long as we don’t stop the spill from Pantonia, it will come down incessantly.”

ki-

The kite glided down.

I raised my right arm and sat the kite on it.

– The Black Sun tribe is descending from Pantonia gathering forces. Its size is in excess of 100,000, as was the case with Nehrup before, and the number continues to grow.

Ginoric moves directly.

Because you would have known I was heading north.

It must have been the judgment that he might fight himself.

“Are you thinking of doing a spin?”

“does not exist.”

I shook my head and sent the kite flying.

“Even if you fight Ginoric with Spin and win, you won’t be able to catch him.”

Ginoric has a similar personality to Ughdash.

Uncharacteristically for an Orc, he knew how to suppress his fighting spirit and was good at calculating his own interests.

“He has no hesitation in running away. He has a personality that is enough to throw an army of over 100,000 as bait and run away. And if he’s alive, you can gather the same number of troops over and over again.”

Only then will another war of attrition take place.

Fighting Orcs and Goblins is not the goal.

“Moreover, Ginoric’s Black Sun tribe is on a different level from Ugdash’s Iron Fog tribe. Why else would Ughdash have settled in this barren land? The guy also ran away. Since we couldn’t defeat Ginoric with the power we had right now, we were going to hold on and hold on until we had the power to overwhelm Ginoric.”

It was a plan that would have happened without me.

“Get your ranks back together. We need to start talking before Ginoric gathers enough of them.”

I rode my horse and headed for Pantonia.

###

Humans, Orcs and Goblins.

Three races met in the grasslands of Pantonia.

The Humans had a supply force of 60,000 soldiers and 30,000 artillerymen under the name of the Imperium of Man, while the other two races had amassed 130,000 warriors under the name of the Black Sun Tribe.

I looked at the level of the orc in the lead.

Indeed, the group in Pantonia was of a different class from Nehrup.

The group driven to Nehrup were mostly low-level warriors in their 20s, but the group in Pantonia ranged in age from their early 30s to mid-40s.

‘This isn’t going to be all the numbers here.’

Speaking of Orcs and Goblins, aren’t they fertile like cockroaches?

There is no way that the total population of this tribe is less than 200,000.

They also ran livestock in their own way, had slaves to farm, and took food by plundering.

As far as I remember, when Ugdash stood at the forefront of the catastrophe, the number reached 3 million. Now it may not be as much as then, but if time permits, it can mobilize several times the number of people in front of it.

“Ginoric of the Black Sun Tribe.”

Ginoric and I met between two armies facing each other.

Ten guards, including Calliope, stood behind me, and Ginoric also led 70 orcs under his command.

【Lv. 69]

【Lv. 73]

【Lv. 66]

【Lv. 77]

【Lv. 64]

Judging by the level, it was not a simple escort.

‘It must be the chieftain.’

Each one is equal to or more powerful than the imperial guards. No matter how high Ginoric’s prestige was, it was not enough to escort such a strong person.

It would be correct to say that they were the chieftains he subjugated.

And instead of an escort, the reason they accompanied me was to let me know about my prestige and pressure me. But I smiled inwardly.

‘The more listeners, the better, and the chief of the tribe is even better.’

“Pantonia is our land. why did you come human.”

“I have come to make an offer.”

“proposal?”

“Aren’t you thinking right now?”

Ginoric frowned as our eyes met.

What else am I trying to do? The vigilance was evident in his expression. Knowing that even the representative system had been swayed by me every time, his reaction was natural.

But the boundaries are futile.

I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.

“It is definitely a matter of thinking about where to project the power that can no longer be released from within. I have come to give you a chance to fulfill your long-cherished wish.”

“Is that my dream?”

“To hunt elves.”

Elf.

The moment he heard that, Ginoric’s eyes widened.

“If you, a race full of desires, want the most, wouldn’t it be an elf? Why do you cling to humans whom other races despise? At first glance, isn’t it because humans resemble elves?”

“…”

“I will give you a chance to hunt elves instead of elves. I’ll get rid of the reason why you can’t cross the elves. Then you don’t even have to worry about what to do.”

Ginoric was silent for a moment.

About 70 tribal chiefs accompanied him.

The tribal chiefs’ eyes turned to him.

“How do you mean?”

“The elven barrier that you cannot cross. I will give you a weapon to break it.”

“weapon?”

Ginoric snorted.

“I know you are using a strange weapon. But that can break the elven barrier? on human subjects. Are you saying this because you know how high and hard the Elf barrier is?”

know.

Because I’ve been attacked several times.

Ginoric laughed at my expression.

He knew intuitively that it wasn’t a joke.

“…what’s the name of that weapon?”

“gunpowder.”

I answered emphatically.

“A substance that can break everything without magical power. I will give it to you.”

Instead, kill each other.

That is the condition for me to help you.

I didn’t speak my mind and just smiled.

Ginoric was silent.

The look on his face was that of wanting to refuse.

Because it is a bright and fearful personality.

‘Ugdash’s son, Baguku, also rejected my offer.’

The reason Baguku declined the offer was retaliation.

Hunt the elves, and retaliation will follow.

He suppressed his desire and chose stability.

‘Ginoric is the same.’

An ordinary Orc would have accepted the offer without hesitation, but Ginoric was better at calculating than Baguku or Ugdash. There’s no way I couldn’t have thought of the aftermath.

But he made a crucial mistake.

I accompanied the tribal chief.

“Will you accept the offer or reject it?”
