Link the Orc

< 190 Warfare in full swing >

The speed of time was more than I had ever imagined. It's been five months since I accepted Trick and Tzadic. When I fought Trick and Tzadic, at least once a month I wanted to fight the Great Monarch. But it didn't turn out like I thought.

After five months, there was only one battle with the Great Monarch. There were many reasons. Maintaining the land of the newly accepted brothers, joining our neighborhoods with small neighborhoods, etc. But the big reason is,

It's too wide.

The closest to Mahor in Massude, Tzarik and Gutrok, are eight days' drive from Kabak.

Marcus, the next great lord, Marek, took over a full day. It is said that the land of the other Grand Monarch Brothers takes more than that. So I can't get there easily. If you go down that road without thinking about it, you'll starve to death.

I never thought I'd say this, but... the next journey is to be thoroughly prepared and then decided to proceed. Right now I'm preparing for that journey.

Most of the business of ruling villages and lands had to be easy for the Northwears to figure out, but I was comfortable.

“Garhorn sold 30% of the crops he harvested each year to other locations. But from this year onwards, more extra grain will be sent from Mahone to Carbach. About 50%. Now we're going to distribute this here to Mahone and Gutrock and beyond. Especially to Lacus. Marek is trying, but we can't help but run out of food in the environment. ”

“I see.”

He says he doesn't live as long as the blessed ones, and it's hard for me because of Northwood, who wants to teach me how to run my quarters.

It was better than at first, but my head aches whenever I still hear this story.

“Khhh...”

“That's all for today. You don't have to overdo it. Get used to it slowly. ”

“... Got it. Well done, Northweald. You're amazing. ”

“It's not great. It's the only thing I can do. ”

I mean it. Northweald is truly remarkable. Having not been blessed by Caroc once, he has a strength that is close to the great chieftain, and much smarter than that. If intelligence can be divided, Norse Urd will be far beyond the great chieftain.

One day, even brothers should know about the operation of appendix. ’I was going to do that when I came. That's what I did when I was up north. And I had a slight headache, but I was pretty good at it. But this time... it's too complicated and too headache.

There was only one thing I had to worry about in the north.

War.

Once I find an enemy to fight, it's all over. Food, ingredients, etc. But I couldn't do it here. We can't eat them all because we're brothers and sisters. No. Even if you could eat it, the problem won't go away.

There are too many brothers.

There are too many brothers and sisters. I have a headache while learning how to manage my surroundings‘ Why do I have to make it so complicated? We just need to scatter them naturally and create a new niche. 'I asked Northwood. It's a natural flow. I thought that would solve everything. But it wasn't.

- If the brothers conquer and scatter everything, it will be solved. Twenty years, maybe 15 years, from the day all the districts split apart.

- Then that's how it's done.

- And in the next 15 years, millions of brothers and sisters will die. Starve to death. There are too many brothers and sisters on this earth to feed on just hunting.

- You just have to build your own farm or something in each scattered area.

- That's the problem, we can't build a farm with just a few people. Do you think Orcs can live without war?

- Impossible.

- Even the best parts of the country will be at war with each other. So you should only farm as far as you can keep it. There will be fewer farms there. If there is a war, farms built near the town.Even if they are healthy, they will have to stop farming during the war, so the harvest will decrease. There's another problem. As the area grows smaller, the difference between a warrior and a farmer is obscured. Everyone should be at war, farming together. That is, you cannot focus solely on farming. Of course, the harvest will decrease as well. And resources like iron don't have enough labor to build farms to mine them directly.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I know how much Northweald feels about wanting to explain it to me in as much detail as possible... but my head was too complicated to hear it all. Northweald's words, if he's right.

- That's right, brother, for dozens of reasons. The harvest will be reduced and the brothers and sisters will starve to death.

There are dozens of reasons. I still think it was best to disconnect from Northweald at that time.

- As their numbers diminish, their yields will again diminish and starve to death. Fifteen years from now, millions of brothers and sisters will be lost and balanced.

- That... doesn't make any sense.

Millions of brothers and sisters starving to death. You shouldn't do that. The chief's job is to make the brothers and sisters as full as the war. There's no way to ignore that.

- The most important thing is the specialization of work. There should be a brother who farms like this, a brother who harvests resources. It's better if you do the same thing over and over again. And warriors need to keep them working.

I see. I didn't fully understand what Northweald said at the time, but I admit to some extent I did. But then I remembered one of the problems of learning how to run a department for a few months. That's a big problem, too.

“Northweald, by the way. There's something strange."

“What is it, brother? ”

“You want to fight with your farming brothers, and your resource gathering brothers. ”

Fighting is an Orc instinct and the value of Caroc's best pursuit. Can a brother be satisfied with his life if he can't do it?

“Keek, that's a good question. Brothers. Brothers are really great. Not only is it strong, it's smart. ”

Northweald smiles joyfully. I'm glad I said that. I think I did something right. I may not be as wise as Northweald, but I am wise.

“It's our job to fix it. Think of your father-in-law."

“Craftsman?”

“The craftsman feels satisfied when his weapon is used on a strong warrior, even if he doesn't have to go into battle. We need to create an environment where we can think that way. When you harvest a lot of grain, you get good iron. Make them feel honored. ”

“You're already honored. You said the perimeter wouldn't hold without them. The brothers are already honored if necessary to maintain their position. ”

“Good idea. But we must make all brothers think like brothers. The brothers here have enslaved their honorable brothers. ”

“Those brothers were wrong. If you want to honor yourself, you must respect the honor of others. ”

“I must honor others for my honor... well said. ”

Masud, who is listening next to you, intervenes.

“That's not a good word. Of course I do.”

“It wasn't here for at least 500 years. ”

500 years... a long time.

“My father was right, by the way. ”

“What did my father say? ”

“'If there was a Ringmaster, my land would be twice as big. I used to say." It's amazing what you can see in person. If I had the Ringmaster beneath me, it would have occupied twice or three times as much land. ”

What's a Ringmaster? Massude began to explain again that he had read my expression.

“You know Slaving. ”

“I know.”

Slaving is a ring made of iron that was used to bind brothers and sisters, not warriors.

“Suddenly, some of the strongest of the slaves began to appear. You call them Ringmasters. You know that, Urd. The Ringmaster shares memories, doesn't he? ”

The mighty among slaves...

“It's not sharing memories, it's passing them on. Brothers Grikkar. As I said before, we give power to weaklings who are not blessed by Caroc. ”

North-Urd explains later. I remember hearing that. Those who were not blessed by Caroc said it was the shaman who bequeathed their power to the next generation, allowing their generation to become strong without blessing.

“The shaman used to live here. At that time, most of Caroc's less blessed weaknesses were slaves, so a shaman naturally appeared among the slaves, and the warriors called us Ringmasters. Don't forget where we're from. ”

“I heard it was meant to be respectful. At least my father respectfully called them strong beyond the limits of their birth. ”

“There may have been brothers like that, but most of them prefer to be called slavers rather than Ringmasters. Of course I didn't go through that. That's what I've been through. ”

“There must have been others like that. Anyway, my father said to the Ringmaster, 'The power is moderate, but the head is the best in the world.’. If it hadn't been for that stupid uprising, you'd be on high ground right now. ”

“Rebellion? It was a struggle for life, not for rebellion. It was self-defense for honor. Don't be stupid if you haven't been through it yet. ”

“Even though I didn't go through it at the time, my father said it. My father doesn't lie to me. ”

The two gaze at each other and slowly raise their spirits. Fighting is good, but...

“It's stupid to fight emotionally, both of you, because you've never been there. ”

Judgment must be faced and made directly.

“If you both want to fight, fight with me. I don't want to see my brothers get hurt for useless reasons. ”

I don't care if I get hurt or die during a duel. for whatever reason, even if it was just a bored fight, if you wanted to fight it yourself. However, fighting for the validity and meaning of what others have said is not because they want to fight, they have not experienced it on their own.

“A brother would understand me if he knew. My head clearly remembers that day. The nine shamans who lived here stood up and fought for their lives and for the honor of their brothers who were called slaves. We lost and fled to the North with only five survivors, but what we did...”

“Think about us, brother. It's not" our. "Brothers are brothers. Don't mistake the memories of the past for brothers. ”

“..... ”

I thought the Northwears were wise, but sometimes they do stupid things.

“It's not a brother's memory. I just received the memory of another brother. It is a memory of what the brother went through and his private thoughts entered his mind. ”

“But no emotions, no flashbacks, no one's wrong...”

“Think again. Brother, that brother is not God. I can't see the whole world. ”

“.... ”

The look on Northweald's face makes no sense. But I can't help it. I've done enough. We'll have no choice but to fight him afterwards. We have to let them fight.

* * *

After a few days, Northweald and Massude had no quarrel. Well done.You don't have to fight for such useless things.

And I found one shocking fact.

- Why do you only call Northweald Urd? Massude.

And I was curious.

- The Ringmaster has been told to name the former Ringmaster before his name. So the former Ringmaster's name is North, and the Oord's name is Oord.

I heard that. I asked North-Urd, or Urd, and he said it's true. Why didn't you tell me? It was a shock. I'll call myself Urd from now on.

* * *

The brothers in the north are heading northwest on news that they have entered the land. The brothers still call the brothers of the North the Barbarians. The Barbarian Orcs have invaded! ’What? I'm a savage Orc, after all. I was going to fight you, but I endured it.

Caroc's message of choosing a true Grand Chief must not only be given to the Grand Chiefs here. Perhaps the brothers who came this time were one of the great chieftains who heard it. So I expected. To be able to fight the chief.

So I ran for six days in Mahone and arrived at the brothers from the north. They'll be hungry, and they'll be dragging lots of cabach for food. And where I arrived, I met my unexpected brother.

“Orhi?”

“Long time no see, Gräkkar. I thought I'd meet you because I heard you went south before, but I didn't expect to meet you as soon as I arrived. ”

Orhi, the first chieftain I met in my Orc class, was a huge wall. He was there.
