Banner of the Evil God

When human society was mobilized, the orcs were not idle either.

The contemporary orc emperor "Iron Teeth" Iroh presided over a meeting and summoned all the leaders of the orc tribes.

The meeting was not held in the capital of the Orc Empire, the "Great Golden Tent", but in the wilderness outside the Great Golden Tent. Emperor Iroh stood on a high platform, riding a chariot, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"Humans are going to attack us." He said straight to the point, "Not the kind of small-scale attack in the past, but to do their best, mobilize all the troops they can mobilize, send out all the knights they can send, gather all the allies they can gather, and send out all the gods they can send - to attack us."

He said loudly, and his voice echoed in the wilderness, into the ears of every chief, and echoed in their hearts.

"Well, they are coming, on a scale never seen before, and they are coming with all their might. I estimated that there will be... three million troops or more, and if necessary, they can be doubled, or even doubled on that basis, which is not impossible."

"So, are you afraid?"

Many chiefs changed their faces, some turned pale, because they were frightened by the astonishing number; some turned red, because they felt that their courage was insulted and they were angry.

Emperor Yiluo did not give the chiefs a chance to speak, and continued: "To be honest, when I first heard this number, I was a little worried."

"Three million! Three million! What an astonishing number! Not to mention that it could be six million, or even twelve million... Oh my God!" He shouted loudly, his voice full of distress, "After cutting off so many heads, there is not enough money in my treasury to give out bonuses!"

The chiefs laughed out loud, and those who were pale were no longer pale, and those who were flushed were no longer flushed. Even those who were calm and composed before could not maintain their calmness, and their laughter became one.

"Hey! Don't laugh! I'm serious!" Emperor Ilo's scarred face showed a serious and distressed expression, "I'm really serious! A soldier's head counts as one gold coin, an officer's head counts as ten gold coins, a knight's head counts as one hundred gold coins, a baron or viscount - assuming he is not a knight, then the head counts as three hundred gold coins, the earl's head counts as one thousand gold coins, the marquis, duke and king's head counts as ten thousand gold coins - everyone knows this rule, the market is like this, I can't take the opportunity to lower the price just because the goods are flooded. Old Ilo is not that kind of person."

"Are you interested in calculating how much it is?"

Many chiefs closed their eyes or lowered their heads and calculated silently.

Unfortunately, the education level of the orcs is generally not high, and they soon became confused in the numbers and couldn't figure out a result.

"I asked someone to calculate it, and finally old Wilder told me that if I want to keep my good reputation of being a law-abiding and trustworthy person, I will probably need to prepare more than 30 million gold coins!"

Emperor Yiluo shook his head, looking hopeless: "Oh my God! 30 million gold coins! After I got this number, I carefully checked the treasury twice, and I wanted to pry open the floor to see if there was a copper coin stuffed in it, but I only found... No, I can't say this, it's too demoralizing to say it out."

"In short, I'm bankrupt this time anyway." He spread his hands, looking helpless.

The chiefs laughed again, laughing so hard that they fell backwards.

Unlike the wise and intelligent previous emperor Yunero, Yiluo was an old soldier who was gradually promoted from the army. He never had much dignity and always appeared in front of everyone with a straightforward image, and this time was no exception.

It is probably unprecedented for an emperor to admit that the treasury has no money like him.

"Everyone knows that old Yiluo is a man who abides by the rules and keeps his word, so I have thought of a way." Yiluo said, "Although I can't default on my debts, I can owe debts! Anyway, the treasury has only so much money. I will reward those who have made contributions in the front according to the rules. Those who have made contributions later... Sorry, His Majesty the Emperor is not defaulting on his debts, but I don't have money to give you for the time being, please wait a moment."

"In other words, if you still want to get rewards and benefits as before, you'd better hurry up after the war starts, and don't drag it out. Otherwise, I can only hope that you live long enough for me to find enough money to pay your rewards."

Amid the laughter of the chiefs, Emperor Yiluo waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Okay, the jokes are over, now let's talk about business-oh, the previous one is not a joke, I am serious."

The chiefs laughed again.

Iroh smiled slightly, then suddenly his face turned serious and he shouted: "Brother orcs, are you afraid of war?"

Subconsciously, all the chiefs shouted together: "No!"

"Yes, no!" Iroh shouted, "We orcs are never afraid of war. War is as common to us as eating and sleeping. Fighting with humans, chopping off their heads, getting rewards, winning the favor of girls, passing on our family line, and finally going to the temple of the gods - this is the way of life for us orcs, passed down from ancient times to the present."

"We are not afraid of war. On the contrary, we like war and we love war! We orcs are warriors created by the gods in their image. The meaning of our lives is to fight for the gods. We fight for them when we are alive and we still fight for them after we die. We don't need to care about anything else except war!"

"I won't promise you anything, because I also want to fight. I will put on armor, pick up weapons, lead the bravest warriors, rush to the battlefield, fight as hard as I can, kill as many enemies as possible, dye my equipment beautiful red with blood, and add new brilliance to my throne with the heads of enemies. Although I am old, I am still a warrior! I pursue honor and the heart of lively war, and I will not lose to any young people!"

"Those weak humans, those who have been born since the day they were born At the beginning, we crushed and cleaned up the ants. Those ants were driven away by us and fled everywhere. They didn't have the courage to swing their knives at us, and only dared to bully the weak maggots. They were crazy this time, so they came to attack us! "

"All along, we couldn't eliminate them because they were running all over the ground, running faster than anything else. There were too many of them, and we couldn't catch them all or kill them all. They were like mosquitoes in summer, buzzing and annoying. "

"But this time, these ants, maggots, mosquitoes... They jumped out by themselves, jumped in front of us, and jumped down on our knives! "

"So what are you waiting for?"

The old orc emperor showed a ferocious smile, raised his battle axe, and roared: "Crush them!"

The roars and roars merged into one, rushed into the sky, and turned into a rising war cloud.
