Chapter 577 Argument 3
"Great Chief! I have a different opinion." Others also shouted and expressed their thoughts. Naturally, there are those who want to fight Aldo, and there are also those who want to continue eastward and unify all the orcs.
Although Eugene was a close confidant of the warchief and Aguirre was his son, other orc generals still expressed their opinions.
Although Abal is determined to learn from the human world and hopes to establish a complete administrative system from top to bottom, the royal account at this time has not yet formed the human order of superiority and inferiority. Able to speak what is on my mind without any scruples.
Abal smiled and nodded to each of his subordinates who gave advice, but he did not say whose opinion he would ultimately adopt.
After the tent became quiet, he turned his attention to a thin figure beside him.
In the heated discussion just now, this figure has been silent, quietly listening to others talking without saying a word. If an ordinary orc is allowed to enter the warchief's tent, if No one specifically pointed out that he would most likely ignore this inconspicuous figure.
But Abal, the orc warchief, showed him a respect that he had never shown to others.
“Dear Great Shaman, what is your opinion?”
Hearing the call of the great chief, the great shaman of the king’s tent—Otasi—slowly raised his head Lift your eyelids.
The shaman is an extremely important role in the orc society. The orcs generally believe in the spirit of the grassland. They are also called the spirits of the ancestors because they firmly believe that the soul of each orc after death will eventually merge with the will of the grassland. The shaman is the medium that communicates with the living beings and the spirit of the grassland. Finding pastures, finding water sources, predicting the weather, fortune telling, and treating diseases are all carried out by shamans. More importantly, because the orcs do not have writing, major events in the history of the orcs are all performed by shamans. Orcs know the deeds of their ancestors from the mouths of shamans. Because of the importance of shamans, every larger orc tribe will have a shaman.
Shamans maintain their own mysterious heritage, and the shamans of the Zarg clan are the most noble of all shamanic heritages. The noble shamanic heritage is combined with the great deeds of leading the orcs against humans. , and finally created the unique royal tent on the grassland.
This old orc, yes, Otaxi is not young, older than Eugene in the tent. Almost no one can tell his specific age. Maybe even he himself has forgotten himself. How old he was, his stature was stooped, and his long gray beard rested on the ground, making him look like an old human man who neglected to take care of his beard rather than an orc.
He glanced at everyone with cloudy eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "My opinion is not important, but I hope everyone will pay attention to the instructions given to us by the Spirit of the Grassland."
"Oh!" Everyone had already followed the great chief and focused their attention on the great shaman. When they heard what he said, they all exclaimed.
"Is the spirit of the grassland guiding us? Great Shaman, tell me quickly."
But young Colum had some ideas - the old man seemed to be dozing just now, but he immediately put this big Disrespectful thoughts were driven from my mind.
"Under the guidance of the prairie spirit, I saw..." The great shaman continued: "In the south of the prairie, a terrifying whirlwind is rolling up. If not prevented, they will It turns into a devastating disaster that eventually sweeps across the entire continent. Orcs, humans, dwarves, and all creatures on this land cannot avoid it.”
Due to the status of the great shaman, no one in the tent will. They doubted his words, so they were shocked by the seriousness of it.
“A disaster sweeping the entire continent?” Chief Abal asked in a daze. This was a heavy blow to his ambition. Of course he didn't care about the life or death of humans and dwarves, but it wouldn't be fun if the orcs were also involved.
"South?" He grasped the key point, "But the powerful countries in the south, Aldo and Gabera, are in crisis to varying degrees!" "Yes, respected chief, I can even point out that It is a big crisis, big enough to destroy their country, the spirit of the grassland told me so." Otaxi said: "But do you know that there is a kind of magical bird in human mythology, the Phoenix? When its lifespan is about to run out, it throws itself into the raging fire. Under the scorching flames, it will be reborn again, and it will be more refined and powerful than before."
Abal calmed down and continued to ask: "Then...is it specifically Aldo, or Gabeira, or...the Holy See?"
The great shaman Otaxi shook his head. , "This is information that I cannot get from the instructions of the Prairie Spirit. I can only rely on the wisdom of you and your generals."
"Okay, okay." Warchief Abal repeated in a low voice.
The words of the great shaman made everyone realize that the next step to attack must be a certain human country, either Aldo or Gabeira.
"In this case, let's see which aspect has a breakthrough." His eyes flashed with terrifying ferocity, "Eugene!"
"Great Chief, please give me your orders. "The old orc responded.
“Contact that ‘prince’, encourage him, stimulate him, don’t let him dream there all day but dare not take action, tell him that as long as he is willing, the powerful orc army can become his right away. Support him and help him regain his inheritance."
Abal looked at his eldest son, "Aguirre!"
"I'm here, Father," he responded.
"Keep an eye on the progress of Gabera's situation and tell me immediately if there is any trouble."
"Yes, father." Aguirre's face was filled with excitement.
After giving all the instructions, Abal seemed to be saying to everyone, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Now let's see which side can have a breakthrough first." Then he looked at everyone and said. : "According to the wishes of the great shaman, disaster must be nipped in the cradle."
In the following days, the great chief's orders spread around like the wind on the grassland, and countless The orc riders took Abar's orders and rushed towards the tribes loyal to the king's tent.
According to the orders of the great chief Abal, the orcs began to prepare weapons and armor, began to prepare food for the march, and began to fatten the horses that were thin due to the winter.
When the second order arrived, it was time for the chief to summon them to join the army. At that time, the mighty orc cavalry will destroy all enemies who dare to resist them.
