Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 11151116 It must be different

"This is not our home after all, child." An old orc patted Shanru's shoulder and said melancholy: "They have lied to us too many times, so I don't want to believe them anymore."

"This time is different. They lied to us in those days... Now, they only have mercy on us." Shanru looked at the groups of orc warriors coming ashore and said to the old man.

 This old man is the elder of one of their tribes. He is a very stubborn person and always believes that no human being is a good thing.

Of course, his understanding changed a little bit later, because he came to the Tang Dynasty and saw many orc slaves who were well-fed, clothed and warm.

This is the first time he has seen slaves treated so well. The slave leaders living here are even better off than the high-ranking orcs in the orc empire.

This made him change his views on humans to some extent, but he still did not believe that humans would give them a paradise, a place that could support millions of orcs.

Although the island in front of you is not a place for orcs, I heard that the island given to them is larger, has a good port, and there is a lot of land on it that can be cultivated!

To the orcs, that place is really paradise. Unfortunately, according to the virtues of humans in the past, it was impossible to give them such a good place.

The old man was stunned. He was very surprised to hear what Shan Lu said. He looked at Shan Lu and asked in confusion: "Why did you say that?"

Shanru recalled everything he had witnessed before. At that time, the battle on the beach had not yet ended. For the orcs, it was a battle that he could not even imagine.

The enemy's firepower density was ten times that of the Qin border, and the sound of machine guns did not stop at all. The tanks and armored vehicles of the Tang Empire drove directly onto the beach from the sea, and the battleships' huge cannons roared deafeningly.

 No one can survive in such an environment. This is Shanlu's experience. However, the powerful Tang army resisted the enemy's machine guns and artillery fire, captured the beach, and quickly launched an attack inland.

By the time Shan Lu arrived at the beach, there were only broken limbs and blood. The beach was littered with the corpses of Tang army soldiers, as well as the ruins of bunkers torn apart by Tang artillery fire.

Frankly speaking, if the orc soldiers attacked the Mirage's position, Shanru could be sure that his troops would be driven into the sea. Even with the heavy artillery support of the Tang Army, the huge casualties would cause the army to collapse.

 But the Tang army did not retreat. They attacked resolutely and organized careful tactics. Precise bombardment combined with many advanced weapons completed the breakthrough against the Mirage defenders on the beach in a short time!

 For the orcs, this is simply a miracle! As a general, Shanlu's fear of Tang has been deeply buried in his bones.

In his eyes, hordes of Stukas represent invincibility, and those planes that can emit dragon roars are even more soaring dragons in the sky! They are invincible! They are indeed invincible!

After the brief recollection, Shanlu said to the orc elder with conviction: "I saw with my own eyes the **** scene when the Tang Dynasty attacked here. In the face of strength, you and I are insignificant."

"Are they really strong?" The elder was a little unbelievable. He stood on the beach. Although he saw the ruins of the Mirage Kingdom's defenses, he couldn't imagine what Shanlu saw.

Seeing a real battlefield with your own eyes is a completely different feeling than seeing the ruins of a prepared battlefield: Although the old chief was also shocked by those huge bunkers, he had no chance to understand Shanlu's feelings.

 No one can imagine what it feels like when a 380 mm caliber artillery shell flies overhead. The air trembles and the earth shakes! At that moment, living was a kind of torture, and death was the relief.

Want to know what it’s like to have a tank passing by? Just look at your own bedroom and imagine how terrifying it would be for something the same size to run over you.

"They are more powerful than ever before. They have wisdom that we don't have. It is something that shines brighter than gems." Shanru felt that he should find a time to have a good chat with this wise elder. Orc If they dare to be half-hearted about the Tang Empire, they may lose more than just a piece of land.

The elder's words made Shan Lu somewhat relieved, because at least this orc tribal elder still had a brain: "Indeed, during my days in the Tang Dynasty, I saw something called hope. We didn't have that thing in the past. , humans, elves, and dwarves don’t have it, but now humans have it, or... Tang people already have it.”

 After saying this, the elder asked Shanlu a question in a very unwilling tone: "But Shanlu! Do we really want to dedicate our loyalty?"

Shanlu pointed to a cemetery in the distance facing the sea, and said to the old man beside him: "Look at that cemetery over there, they paid the price of blood for us, so we should also give them something in return. "

“Even in the end, they will still deceive us?” The old man still felt that the main island promised by the Tang Empire would not necessarily give them orcs.

Shanru shook his head and said firmly to the old man: "No, even if they lied to us, in order for our species to continue... we should surrender to such a powerful force! In the past, resistance was because we had the power to resist. We surrender now because we have no capital to resist. "We can also control such a powerful force," the old man said reluctantly after being silent for a few seconds.

Shanru nodded, and then expressed his thoughts: "Yes, but before we master such power, we should maintain a humble attitude towards the strong."

"You're right..." The old man didn't expect Shan Lu to agree with what he said. He looked at Shan Lu and gave a rare nod.

In the distance, boatloads of orcs were sent to the floating docks. The floating docks that were fixed together were no longer so strong.

The power of the tide is like a giant constantly tormenting the dock pontoons that are fixed together. The docking of ships will also increase the burden on the dock. Those structures will soon become fatigued and eventually become scrapped and completely unusable.

Orcs who come from afar have no way to work immediately. They will start vomiting at the beach. These landlubbers have never seen the sea before coming here.

Now that they have seen it, their stomachs are churning. They have barely eaten anything along the way, so now they can only lie on the ground and vomit the acid in their stomachs.

 Before coming here, they had never even seen the sea. Even if they had seen it, no one would have thought that sailing on the sea was such a terrible thing.

Although the tonnage of the ships of the Datang Empire is already very large, in order to ensure the health of these people, the Datang Group has prepared seasickness medicine and relatively good food.

 However, seven or eight orcs died of seasickness and other diseases along the way. The remaining orcs were not in good condition, and most of them could barely walk.

The same goes for the orc elder. He is now using a cane, but he actually didn't need this thing originally. Fortunately, because he was an elder and had ridden in a car before coming here, he was somewhat immune to seasickness.

 Tang State plans to first transport 400,000 orcs to the South Island to help complete infrastructure construction, and then migrate all these orcs and local goblins to the new island.

After the goblin slaves and orcs complete the construction of the new island, they will be sent to the main island to continue working... Finally, the Tang Kingdom will occupy Beidao and send all the remaining goblins on the island to the reservation of Beidao.

 The whole process is expected to take 2 years. All processes are hard targets, and it doesn’t matter how many orcs and goblins die.

 From this aspect, the Tang people were cruel. They are optimistic about the South Island and the New Island. After building these two islands, they are not willing to care about the life and death of the two races on the Main Island and the North Island.

The orcs were okay. The Tang Empire promised to provide them with food supplies for 500,000 people for two years, and also promised to give them some arms so that they could gain a foothold on the island.

As for whether the orcs will conflict with the goblins because of this, that is not something that Tang needs to consider: I have given you the land and the weapons. If you can't defend it yourself, then don't blame me.

Feng Kezhi's 9th Army is resting and recuperating. A counterattack from the Mirage is almost impossible. They lack air protection and have no sea superiority. Anti-landing will cost lives.

 So during this period, there were really very few wars on the South Island. The Tang Empire was frantically building airports, ports, and docks here.

The senior officials of the Tang State hope that before continuing to launch an attack, the place will have the ability to repair some small ships, be able to accept the unloading of large ships, and be able to repair all the aircraft taking off and landing in the Tang State.

As long as transportation is smooth, materials from the Tang Empire can be continuously transported to the South Island to support the 9th Group Army in continuing its attack to the north.

"At least we see hope, even if it is false hope...it is still hope." The old man said at last, looking at the 130 transport planes that kept landing in the distance.

He is already old. If he can really see the orcs leaving the desert and owning an enclave in the north of the Endless Sea, then he can really rest in peace.

“I believe more that this time is different.” Shanlu said approvingly, looking at the orc labor team that looked a little listless after traveling long distances here.

 He is still young, and he feels that the future of the orcs is still in his hands! The promise of the Tang Empire must be different from the promises of other human beings!
