Banner of the Evil God

In the Orc Empire, "half-orcs" are a somewhat awkward group.

Unlike the fantasy novels that Sui Xiong had read before crossing over, in this world, the distinction between "orcs" and "half-orcs" is not based on bloodline, but on faith.

The orcs are all creations or descendants of the orc gods. Because of the influence of blood, they are naturally believers of the orc gods, and even controlled by the orc gods in their souls.

This situation is almost unique. Although the creation gods of other races also have a strong influence, they can never reach the point of controlling the soul - for example, the creation god of mankind, "Mother of Water", does not have much control and influence over humans, so he died at the hands of the Lord of Light later.

Because the soul is affected and controlled, the orcs are very devout in their belief in the orc gods. But this situation is not absolute. Sometimes, orcs awaken for various reasons and get rid of the soul control of the orc gods. In the Orc Empire, this situation is called "deterioration". There are also hybrids of orcs and other races who are not controlled by the orc gods because of insufficient blood concentration.

Whether it is congenital or acquired, once the soul gets rid of the control of the orc gods, they are called half-orcs.

In the Orc Empire, the situation of half-orcs is not good. Even if their faith is as pious as before, the orc gods will not respond to them. For the orc gods, believers who are not under their control are not qualified believers. They look at such believers like farmers look at weeds on the roadside. Maybe they can consider eating them during famine, but no one will put them on the menu at ordinary times.

For a devout believer, it is a very painful thing to have their faith ignored and not get any response.

But the pain is not just this. The orcs are not friendly when they look at these guys who don't get a response from the gods. In the past years, there have been more than one wave of massacres of orcs for pure faith, and each time thousands or even tens of thousands of orcs were massacred.

Fortunately, this situation has not happened in the past one or two hundred years, probably because the ambitious Yurnero secretly controls public opinion. But even Yurnero is not friendly to the orcs. Not only does he exploit and oppress them heavily in normal times, but every time a war breaks out, he organizes them into independent armies to perform the most difficult, dangerous, and unrewarding tasks.

Orcs are not fools, nor are they masochists, so many orcs will change their past beliefs and their lifestyles after being educated by the cruel reality, leaving their homeland and going far away.

In the main plane continent, orcs are the most common wandering race. These have orc blood, but they cannot get the response of the creator like orcs. Among the confused wanderers, there are the best mercenaries, but also the most brutal robbers.

A small number of powerful orcs, after losing their faith, took honor as their life creed. Their actions were so upright that even the proudest knights had to admit that they were upright and noble. However, many powerful orcs, after the collapse of their faith, completely sank into material desires and degenerated into cruel and cunning robbers, wreaking havoc everywhere.

The majority of the population, the orcs, had no skills, and could neither do justice nor commit crimes. They lived in a muddle, constantly wandering and working, and after saving some money, they continued to wander, looking for a place where they could feel at ease. But most of these orcs could not find a place that could make them feel at ease until they died, and could only grow old in constant wandering, and finally died in poverty.

In general, most orcs were not living a satisfactory life. They were eager to find a place where they could live and work in peace, or learn some skills that could make them live a stable life.

Recently, the climate in the Orc Empire was not very good. Although there were no large-scale natural disasters, the grain harvest did decline. It is said that this is because the new generation of sun gods have a good relationship with human gods and deliberately make things difficult for them. In addition, after the fall of the harvest goddess, this priesthood has not yet been inherited.

In the past, the orc gods often gave the harvest goddess a lot of benefits in exchange for the abundance of the orc prairie. It is relying on this purchased abundance that the huge number of orc tribes can be maintained. Since the death of the harvest goddess, abundance can no longer be bought, and the orc prairie has lost its extra abundance, so the population that can be supported has naturally dropped greatly.

If it weren't for the fact that many people died in the battle of the day when the sun went out, and many people were wiped out, I'm afraid the situation of the orc empire would be even worse, and the population pressure would be even greater.

When the population pressure is high, food is naturally insufficient; when food is insufficient, the first to starve are naturally the orcs.

In recent years, the orcs have been starving, and many have starved to death, and they live in misery.

So when they heard that the new technical school in the Northwest Republic did not charge tuition, a large number of relatively strong orcs followed those merchants who valued money over their lives, crossed the vast desert, passed through several canyons in the barren mountains, and came to the Northwest Republic.

In the Northwest Republic, they met their fellow villagers, the orcs who had settled here long ago.

The Northwest Republic did not discriminate against orcs. Sui Xiong was usually very kind, but he was still quite strict about many issues, one of which was racial discrimination.

This is not a policy that was only introduced after the founding of the country, but a basic national policy that has been set since Sui Xiong established the Church of the Void Mask and the Void Mask Amusement Park. In the Northwest Republic, racial discrimination is a high-voltage line. Anyone who steps on it will be electrocuted to death - this is not a description or metaphor. There is really "electric punishment" in the punishment of the Northwest Republic. Its inspiration comes from a man named Yang who has a bad reputation on Earth. The main punishment is those with ideological problems, and racial discrimination is one of the key points.

Over time, everyone's attitude naturally changed.

At present, there are many half-orcs living in the Northwest Republic. A few of them moved here, but most of them were born and raised here since childhood.

Although in theory the Northwest Republic and the Orc Empire are neighbors, in fact, there is a world-famous dangerous area "Great Gobi" between the two. For ordinary half-orcs, this is really a natural barrier. Therefore, over the years, I dare not say that there are no half-orcs who moved here from the Orc Empire, but there are very few. The orcs in the Northwest Republic now either migrated from the Southern Gold Coin Federation or are relatives and friends of those powerful orcs.

Among them, even the relatively weak ones have at least left their homes and wandered for a period of time, and are much stronger in spirit than those of their fellow tribesmen who have just left the Orc Empire. In addition, they have settled in the Republic for a long time, and are influenced by the open-minded, friendly and positive atmosphere here, and their mental outlook is completely different from those of the newcomers.

The biggest difference is the new generation who were born and raised in the Republic since childhood.

These orcs have not received any education such as "only believing in the creator is true happiness" since childhood, and have never been discriminated against. On the contrary, because of their respective bloodlines, they often have advantages in some aspects of their bodies, or they are tall and strong, or they are agile and fast. They are very outstanding among their peers, so they are full of confidence, overflowing with a happy and positive atmosphere, as if the whole person is in a state of high morale.

They stood together with the recent settlers. Although they looked similar, their temperaments were completely different. They were two completely different races.

"It took only a few decades to achieve such results." Sui Xiong was invisible in the air. Looking at these two completely different orcs, he couldn't help but smile, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment and pride.
