Chen Daolin has always agreed with the saying, "Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated."

Since you have to make up your mind to deal with the orcs, you must seriously understand this race.

In fact, the Roland Empire has already had a lot of understanding of orcs, but it has always been... on the surface. It has not carefully and systematically made a comprehensive and three-dimensional study of this race.

At least in Chen Daolin's opinion, the current information about orcs by the Roland Empire is only at the level of "intelligence", such as investigating the distribution of orc army, how many orc army there are in their royal city, how many local tribes are powerful and weak, and how many elite tiger clans who are directly loyal to the orc kings...

These are only at the level of military intelligence.

However, from a social perspective, the orc race is very scarce.

Chen Daolin has not seen orcs before, but he just had some unilateral understanding when he came out of the frozen forest.

But at this moment, when he was about to deal with the orcs, there were no similar experts around him, so he had to come to investigate by himself.

"In general, this is a very pitiful race. Orcs have not had a long lifespan, much shorter than humans. Orcs, such as hoofs, occupy more than 70% of the population of the orc kingdom, and their lifespan is generally only fifty years old. This is considered to be a long life. I guess the average lifespan is only more than forty. Orc warriors become adults at the age of thirteen, and can find the opposite sex to reproduce offspring. Well, it is not surprising. Primates are originally animals of the same weight with longer lifespans, and humans have longer lifespans than orcs. So it is not surprising. Orcs mature earlier, develop earlier, and the reproduction period comes earlier.

But their civilization is still very barbaric and backward.

They are still tribal, which is at least two thousand years behind the human civilization of our Roland Empire.

They have no high-level civilization and culture, no literature, no entertainment, no artistic civilization development. Whether it is architecture, art, metallurgical technology, etc.... they lag behind human civilization in almost all aspects.

To put it bluntly, saying that they are "barbarians" is considered to be a thrust.

The illiteracy rate among orcs is almost 99%, and the orcs who can write and calculate are almost all the time. Their transactions are even bartered in bartering.

Well. This is probably why the merchants of the Roland Empire enjoyed going to the Orc Kingdom to do smuggling business. A businessman went to do business with orcs who couldn't even do single-digit addition and subtraction, and wouldn't he cheat those stupid orcs to death?

Because of the backwardness of civilization and the lack of material resources, orcs cannot even be able to provide food and clothing. They don’t even have food and clothing. Naturally, they don’t want to breed any advanced culture. They don’t have any real culture, let alone entertainment.

When a male orc is thirteen, he has to take up his weapons to fight. Hunting, life is very difficult, and female orcs can even start giving birth when they are over ten years old. And this is not an individual phenomenon.

In short, our neighbor is a group of barbaric and backward races with extremely miserable lives.”

Chen Daolin said here, and glanced at Dixon, and he saw the confusion on Dixon's face. Chen Daolin smiled and continued:

"But this does not mean that orcs are ridiculous. On the contrary, orcs are terrible in this way! It is not an advanced civilization that can definitely defeat backward civilizations. Many times, barbaric and backward civilizations destroy advanced civilizations often happen."

Chen Daolin thought about it, and several names popped up in his mind.

Huns, Turks, Xianbei, Jurchens, Mongolia...

"Precisely because of barbarity, they have an extremely deformed purity, which directly converts the pressure of survival into combat power. It is precisely because it has been since birth and has to fight under the pressure of survival that...the battle has almost become the instinct of orcs. It can be said that this is a real combat race.

Think about it, when they were thirteen years old, they started to chop people with knives, and had seen blood and death... Where are we Roland people? What were we doing when we were thirteen years old?

Similarly, precisely because of barbarism, this nation will be simpler, and they focus all their energy on fighting and survival, rather than other aspects.

Humans are indeed smarter and more civilized than them. But humans will devote their energy to other places, buildings, better houses, brilliant art, culture, gorgeous clothes... Oh, of course, there are intrigues.

Orcs have almost no internal friction, and they all stay at a very shallow level. At most, two tribes will cut one game, and the winners will merge the losers. But what about humans... they restrain each other and restrain each other. They obviously have 100 strength, but they may only be twenty in the end?

Most orcs are stubborn. These guys don’t think about things that are too complicated because they don’t think about them or understand them. So... when they are all focused on fighting, this is the most terrifying time!

It's barbaric!"

Chen Daolin sighed: "It is indeed a terrible thing to have this neighbor stay by his side for more than a hundred years...the Roland people were lucky. In the past hundred years, there was no civil strife in the empire, and no trouble in itself. In the past hundred years, it was a period when the Roland Empire's national destiny was still rising.

But if...

If we do nothing, let this seemingly backward and savage neighbor stay by our side. Keep this peaceful situation... we can still suppress the orcs and beat them up.

So in the future, if one day we have problems ourselves and the empire's power is behind, then... at that time, we will be horrified to discover that these backward and barbaric races we look down on can in turn destroy us..."

This is not what Chen Daolin said casually.

If the Han people had not fought each other for almost a hundred years during the Three Kingdoms period and had already fought the Han people from 56 million at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to 16 million at the end of the Three Kingdoms...

Can the Five Barbarians invade China??

An orc is a wild beast, keep it by your side. When you are strong, you can suppress it. But it is hard to guarantee that you will not get sick or something in the future. When you become weak, this wild beast will eat you!

So……

"The best way is to kill this beast while you are still strong!"

Chen Daolin touched his chin: "I think... Du Weiwei, probably because he thought so, that's why this woman did such a crazy thing."

After all, no one can guarantee that the Roland Empire will continue to be strong. A feudal civilization dynasty will often welcome the trough after a period of strong period.

Even if you are the pillar of the Tulips family, you can't guarantee that every generation of this family will produce geniuses, right?

What if one or two generations of mediocre Tulip Dukes are released, can they still expect them to protect the empire?

While you are still strong, kill this powerful neighbor first and don’t leave any harm to future generations.

And... In fact, the national power of the Roland Empire has begun to decline over the years.

"Du Wei did not directly destroy the orcs back then, perhaps because of his lack of strength. After all, the Roland Empire had fought for so long and needed rest. And later... Maybe Du Wei had an idea that the country would perish without external troubles. Leaving a not-so-powerful backward and barbaric enemy outside can retain his enterprising spirit. But now, the situation is different. The national destiny of the Roland Empire has reached its peak and there will be no room for further upwards. The next ten years, fifty or one hundred years, may be the period of decline of the Roland Empire.

At this time, while everyone still has the strength, this generation of human talents is still outstanding... It is indeed not a bad idea to kill the orc neighbor."

Along the way, Chen Daolin might have said it to Dixon, or he might have talked to himself.

In short, Dixon may not understand many of the things he said, but he kept them in his heart.

The two returned to the commander's mansion and walked into the hall. A man outside rushed in as if his butt was on fire!

The person coming is Ade!

Ade was wearing a leather armor, with a dusty face and body, his hair was scattered, his head was covered in sweat, and he came in panting, and shouted loudly before he could stand still.

"Big news! Big news!! Great victory in the Lodon Valley!! Panin ambushed and defeated the grassland cavalry and beheaded tens of thousands of them!!"

[This chapter is 5,500 words.

I have been considering the subsequent plot of this book recently, and there are hundreds of thousands of words in the future. Now I have to start thinking about the final layout in advance. I have made several ideas and choices, but I still have some problems.

Of course the ending will not be tragic. But maybe it will become a little bit black... Well, I'm still hesitating.]
Chapter completed!
