Scar Nightmare's unabashed attitude caused a big reaction among the Confederate tribes.These tribes—or the leaders of the tribes were not only surprised that Ska asked them to stand in line at this time, but also shocked that this famous thorn had unknowingly surrendered to others.

This is far from the expectations of the patriarchs.

But if the leader of the tribe did not think that the alliance will eventually be completely dominated by humans, first of all, the clan leaders are not so stupid, and secondly, the magician has already made enough preparations for this-not so much as preparations, it is better to say that the problem was revealed early Before giving it to the patriarchs, these powerful orcs had already consciously or forcedly realized that as the other half of the alliance, the orc side had never received the kind of power the patriarchs expected.

"Rights come from obligations", but the industrial city is not mainly built by orcs; the pioneers are almost all human beings; when the pioneers expand their territories, the factories that produce materials for them and the departments that dispatch materials for them, orc laborers It is not the main body; whether it is a school, a broadcasting department or a newspaper office, in these departments that have a great impact on people's cognition, although there are a certain number of orcs, many people are equally aware that they can make their own voices in these places , because the alliance requires the proportion of orc members in these departments to reach—and this proportion was proposed by the magician and passed at the representative meeting.

In fact, many tribal leaders have already discovered and privately accused the "conspiracy" of the magician: the so-called alliance is just a piece of meat that looks good, and the magician actually doesn't want to share this piece of meat with anyone. Keep this piece of meat in his own pot, and ask those who have eaten it to spit it out for him!

The resentment of the patriarchs is not just out of prejudice, but has its own reasons. Many tribes have indeed gained some benefits because of joining the covenant, but what they have lost is much more than what they have gained: the tribal order has been destroyed by countless people in Industrial City. Commodity shocks; tribal population loss; tribal affairs were interfered by the Industrial City through the hands of the Sacher werewolf, and the prestige of the leaders was gradually reduced; tribal traditions were constantly being destroyed by young people returning from the Industrial City——

Before you know it, trading points flying red flags have spread all over the wilderness.People are bewitched by the dazzling array of goods, and they can't wait to get everything they think will make their lives better: replace heavy animal skin water bladders with light iron kettles; To carefully preserve the kindling, you only need to prepare a handful of hay, and then take out a box of matches that will be given away when you buy anything; hang a mirror on the wall of the mud nest and thatched hut that can double the brightness of the residence; sharp knives, soft cloth, flashing Brilliant jewelry... People traded what little they had and all their labor for these things, even going so far as to owe debts to the Alliance in the name of the Horde.

The way of survival of hunting and herding was destroyed by a powerful external force.Because many tribal people can't exchange livestock for goods without hurting their roots like their patriarchs and elders, they are more willing to sell their strength to humans.Generally speaking, they often only need to sign a short-term contract to realize their wishes. Although human beings will restrain them, once they press their fingerprints, everything must live according to human rules during the contract period, whether it is washing in the morning or evening, or using water. Half of their free time goes to class and does their homework, but because humans pay for all their food and accommodation, the settlement rewards are very straightforward, and they never hit or swear, and they will take care of the wounded until they recover... plus no matter what kind of people can They are assigned suitable jobs, so more and more tribal people refuse to be driven by their patriarchs and elders.Even when their chiefs and elders forced them to work for those of high status, the tribesmen could ask the cavalry patrols that passed through the tribe regularly to arbitrate for them.

The alliance's cavalry patrols are mainly composed of Sacher werewolves, who are arrogant and rough, and they like to see the patriarchs and elders look embarrassed.

In addition, the spiritual pillar of the tribal people is also shaken.The more products the tribal people get from the industrial city, the more perfunctory their belief in the beast god. Even if the industrial city does not participate, it does not interfere with the sacrificial rituals of the tribal people. The tribal people also firmly believe that their belief in the gods remains unchanged, but in When encountering difficulties, the first thing they think of is no longer prayer, but "Can Industry City help me and my relatives", and many times, they only need to go to the trade point or find the crossing The railways of the earth can get help by finding people in the industrial city.Tribal leaders still have their own majesty and are trusted by the tribesmen, but every tribal leader can feel that their power is draining.

The industrial city erodes the spirit of the tribal people almost everywhere.It's just that their methods are neither rude nor direct, and they are often noticed only after the climate has formed.For example, among the items that Horde people are eager to get from the alliance store, something called "radio" is becoming more and more popular.

The tribal people need it at the beginning, and the salespersons in the store often recommend to them the most commonly used things in life. No matter matches, knives, kettles, iron pans or mirrors, most tribal people can put them away in a relatively short period of time. They come together.In the process of collecting these things, they are artificially cultivated a habit called "consumption", which produces more and more desires for possession. They not only want the necessities of life, but also the enjoyment of life. .Compared with printed fabrics and jewelry, although "radio" cannot directly decorate people's appearance, it enriches people's lives as the most representative commodity of the industrial city.

These small boxes wrapped in solid wood can emit small sounds from morning to night. Until noon, it is "ten words a day", teaching people to learn the language of the industrial city; "new things every day", telling people stories that happened elsewhere, some happened in the alliance, and some came from the other half of the orc empire , there is also a human being named "Pioneer" who tossed out in the distance. People get all kinds of news related to them and irrelevant through this program; Identifying directions, making a fire and finding food, how to slaughter livestock quickly and well, what to do when an adult or child chokes on a bone, and how to deal with some common diseases and common wounds, etc... At the same time, the industrial City can deal with similar conditions of goods.

The content played in the afternoon is a little more interesting. Some people sing, some people read books, and tell some attractive and long stories in simple language. In the evening, it will repeat "ten words every day" and "new things every day". Again, so that people do not easily miss those things that the city of industry wants their attention.Finally, before people fall asleep, those soft voices in the box will make some people who study and live in the industrial city come to the "broadcast studio" and stumble out the words they want to write to their relatives and friends far away.

Although there are still many orcs who can't understand much of the radio, this does not prevent the radio from being the center of life for those who get it for a short time, not only because the box does not require any power to be injected. magic.In the winter or rainy season when the sun is not visible, people arrange their lives through its tinkling sound; Learn human language; they also put these little boxes on the bedside of the sick and old, and use those melodious and brisk music and smooth narration to make them forget their pain for a while; because they don't know words, many people Yeye put her ears on the horn, waiting for the news from her child from afar.

No matter how many people want to get these radios, the trade points in Industry City can always replenish quickly after they are sold out. Although they also have rough regulations on how many a tribe can buy, they are not very strict, so these The radio gradually spread to the other half of the Orc Empire.

The consequences of the spread are visible. From a certain moment, more and more northern tribes sent people to Kanlar City, hoping to rent a house in the city, both as a warehouse and as a place for them to go to the industrial city. a midpoint of .These northern tribes—some even members of the Northern Alliance—feel another industrial city different from the rumors through these radios, and want to test to see if it is what it says on the radio, and it will also treat them like this. Non-hostile tribes opened their doors and imparted knowledge and skills to them free of charge.

Scar Nightmare said: "Who would take advantage of it?"

However, the patriarchs in and near the alliance had a hard time letting those distant tribes understand that the industrial city would indeed open its doors to them, but the acquisition of knowledge and skills would not be free.This price is not the little friendliness that the northern tribes are willing to pay because of the benefits. The industrial city actually doesn't care which side these tribes are on when they and the half empire in the north are going to win or lose, but they care about the young orcs.

The entire Southern Confederacy, and possibly one-third of the northern tribes, had members of the tribes studying and working in Industrial City.

But if the City of Industry hadn't announced it on the radio in its morning and evening "news," and further explained it to its listeners through those who read it at night, many people have not yet discovered the silent expansion of the territory controlled by the City of Industry to this extent. to the point of dread.

Before Industry City clearly showed their achievements to everyone, even though more and more young orcs began to fanatically yearn for the city built by humans, many people, including the tribal chiefs in the Southern Alliance, still thought that Industry City Since they are never required to show any loyalty to the Warlock and Scar Nightmare, and their young people can freely travel back and forth between the Horde and the Industrial City, then after they have learned the skills of the Industrial City, they will use their labor in exchange for rewards and satisfaction. After fulfilling the wish, they will return to the tribe and grow the tribe just like those humans and werewolves built industrial cities.

Although it seems that this idea is suffocatingly stupid now, their idea cannot actually be said to be too dreamy.Because what they did in the industrial city was even more stupid in their opinion—not only did they teach the students from various tribes, but they also urged them not to be greedy for the comfortable life in the city, but to contribute as much as possible to the tribe.

But if the human magician is willing to use such benefits to please them, why should they refuse?So under the leadership of Kanlar City, the tribal leaders sent more and more young people into the city without walls.

Those young people who are ambitious to go to the industrial city and get a place to study and work will indeed be fascinated by this city at the beginning, although they will soon suffer from the study, many people who are free by nature have difficulty adapting to human beings. Such an overly regular life inevitably suffers some setbacks, but most of them are able to persevere under the guidance of their instructors, rather than give up in shame or drive away after being warned even more shamefully.Because of the constant admonitions, the young orcs kept their learning goals in mind. After getting used to the human life where almost everything is carried out according to the schedule, they quickly found joy in the intensive study and labor.

For those who taught them really hoped that they would learn, they were either stern or tender, but they were patient and adept at arousing the interest of young people, and throwing their lively spirits into the matter at hand.Students spend half of their day working, and laborers spend one-third of their day learning. In the realm controlled by artisans, the boundaries between learning and labor are sometimes blurred, and people use the skills they have learned to work In addition, they will deepen their understanding of knowledge in the classroom through labor.

So they made great progress.Young people have learned a lot in the industrial city. As long as they have a good foundation in language and mathematics, they can learn any skills they want to master, whether it is planting, kiln firing, iron smelting or fighting. Although the industrial city will not Show them those powerful weapons - this is clearly written in the contract, but whether it is riding, killing with ordinary weapons, or fighting with bare hands, the teachers of the industrial city will pour money into these students It does not matter whether their pupils are male or female, sons of patriarchs or descendants of slaves.

As long as they are not a little crazy, everyone should know the value of these skills that can be obtained for free elsewhere.They are convinced that the teachers in the industrial city don't have much reservations. It is too easy to acquire such valuable knowledge in this city. After feeling that their minds and limbs are constantly enriched and strengthened, they even feel a sense of loss that the past years are wasted.

And this loss, under the deliberate guidance of the industrial city, further turned into sadness that the tribe they came from could not receive the direct support of the industrial city like Kanlar.

Therefore, while these young people are addicted to the extremely precious learning environment provided by the industrial city, they are eager to return to the tribe and use their acquired abilities to change the difficult lives of their relatives and friends.Whenever the holiday begins, young people leave the city in groups with heavy packages, get off the train, board the horse, and return home.They brought home a variety of Industry City products, all from the creations of their own hands, and they generously gifted these items to their families and other tribe members, showing people the skills they had learned, and actively promoting industry in the tribe The wisdom, civilization and greatness of the city.

Even when their family members and tribal members questioned their words and experiences, they seldom got angry about it. Instead, they had a kind of compassionate understanding of these questions—how could honey rain fall from the sky out of nowhere?If people want to live a good life, the only way to achieve it is to work correctly.If it weren't for the sorcerer descending from the sky, people don't know how many years it would take to find this bright road. Instead, they think that possession and plunder are the truth, and whoever is more powerful can determine their destiny.If speaking with power is right, why the orcs have been chasing power for countless years, but they have never been able to build a city as powerful as Industrial City? It has already traveled far beyond the empire, and caused a lot of storms in the outside world?

So the tribal people discovered inconceivably that the "stupid" approach of the industrial city turned most young people into believers of human magicians in just a few months.Although many tribal people were unwilling to accept the bragging that these children were completely on the side of the industrial city as if they were lost in their minds, it was difficult for them to refute that these were indeed based on facts.Even if you are not satisfied that the teachers of Industry City have taught some weak things to the young people, it still does not change that there are many people who want to send their loved ones and themselves to Industry City.Because the tribal people can neither refuse the various benefits brought back by the young people from the industrial city, nor can they pretend not to see the physical and spiritual changes of these young people.

The industrial city provides everyone living in the city and on various construction sites with sufficient and delicious food, spacious and comfortable residence and a stable and stable life. People do not need to worry about anything except the immediate study and work; although they are studying It is inevitable to compare and compete with others in labor and labor, but this kind of competition will neither reduce their treatment, nor damage the relationship between them and others; outstanding people will get many rewards, and those who are lost will be taught by others. more care and help for those who do not belong to the industrial city; conflicts can always be properly mediated, and no one despises, bullies or deceives these tribal people who do not belong to the industrial city. They live in a friendly environment, even the violent People will also slowly soften their thorns in it.

Many young people confide to their peers that the reason they fell in love with the city is that they find a level of respect and intimacy here that they never had in their tribes or their own families.They have established sincere emotional relationships with their teachers, as well as with their study and work partners, and have received great spiritual nourishment through these connections.They quickly become skilled at working with others.And when these young men returned to the tribe with strong bodies and full spirits, and naturally acted together, their strength brought them power.

Due to the requirements of vacation homework and their own wishes, these young people under the care of the industrial city will bring some small changes every time they return to the tribe.They built cisterns, repaired houses, sent their kills to the old and disabled, plowed their fields, sowed their seeds, helped mothers with their troubled children, and so on.Although not everything was done properly, and sometimes they did not get the desired results despite their efforts, everyone saw and enjoyed the results of these young people being transformed by the industrial city.

Even because of these young people who have been taught by humans, the relationship between many tribes has become much more relaxed.The people in the tribe gradually let go of their guard against the humans led by the sorcerer, and also forgot that many of them were slaves in the past—the identity of the sorcerer's followers has completely covered those pasts.Except for the most stubborn old people, almost all the tribal people who have been associated with the industrial city have believed that the magician does have the wisdom and power close to the gods. Intimidation and slaughter to establish authority, and only he can take into account the interests of humans and orcs, and truly rescue those who suffer.

People can imagine what would happen if Sasheer's werewolf disappeared, but they can't imagine what would happen if the magician never existed.

In this way, the Warlock influenced the tribes that were not under his direct rule through the young orcs, while the leaders of the tribes saw only immediate benefits for a long time.While greedily demanding from Industrial City, they underestimated the overly thoughtful care of humans for the tribes. They believed that it was because so many tribes joined the alliance that the orcs accounted for the majority of the population. Instead of determining their status in the alliance by flattering and pacifying, the more short-sighted patriarch has thought about when to turn those capable and gentle humans back into slaves-this idiot is no longer the patriarch.Because his good son made a fuss in the classroom after drinking and said a lot of things that shouldn't be said, Gray Wolf Keel rushed into his tribe with a whole team of werewolf cavalry, not only burned his patriarch's tent, but also killed his family. His clothes were stripped off, his hair was shaved, and he hung on the flagpole for a whole day.While he was hoisted to the flagpole, those werewolves below were slaughtering livestock head after head—still the property of the chief, who opened a campaign to force the entire tribe, including those who had just been beaten to pieces. A grand feast for the warriors of the Horde to attend.

The leaders used to think that the werewolves took the place of humans in order to maintain the dignity of the alliance. Although there were various signs that the facts were different from their imaginations, these leaders still chose to believe this illusion, as if they all thought so, Sacher The werewolves with Sahir would be able to understand which side they should be on, and Scar Nightmare could also live up to their expectations, wresting the power of the alliance from the sorcerer, stopping Industry City from eroding the Horde, and letting them Get rid of human control.

The werewolves have a different opinion on this.

"What dream?" Mona said.

"What else can they do if they don't dream?" Gray Wolf Keel said, "Damn it?"

The werewolves in the conference room laughed, "Then they have to dig graves!" They laughed at these tribal leaders who resisted the changes of the times in various ways. After all, as the main law enforcement force and The main force of the alliance patrol team, each of them may have more black material than the wives of the patriarchs.Although Boss didn't think it was a funny joke, he was also affected by the pleasant atmosphere in the meeting room, and decided to let them chatter for a while before moving on to the next topic, and then a strand of long hair with a light fragrance fell to his shoulders superior.

Burth's smile faltered.

"...wells."

A tall woman sat next to him. The casual clothes she was wearing today were well tailored, and Boss once again controlled his thoughts of moving to the side.She let out a chuckle, which Perth pretended not to hear.Mona and another werewolf distributed the materials and forms brought by Wells to everyone in the room. The laughter gradually subsided, and people focused on these materials and forms.

"It's about time," said Burth.

"It's our turn to think about the future we want for this country," he told the young werewolves in the conference room.

The vulgar teasing disappeared, and the faces of the young people gradually became serious.
