#471 - Chapter 471 Sneak Attack and the Rear
The intelligence of the Orcs has always been a significant research topic for many human lords within the Human Empire.
However, despite thousands of years of research, there has been no definitive conclusion regarding the intelligence of the Orcs.
This is because some human lords believe that the intelligence of the Orcs is at the lower levels of the biosphere in the Lord Era.
They make this judgment because the Orcs are at an absolute disadvantage in technology, magic, and even psionic abilities.
Whether it's the Human Empire or the anti-human factions of the Empire's enemies, the development of skills like technology, magic, psionics, and arcane arts has never stopped.
But the Orcs have not shown any presence in these fields.
Additionally, the Orcs' civilization also indirectly supports this view.
Because the Orcs' civilization is generally in the stage of medieval to agrarian civilization, and some Orc civilizations have even stagnated in primitive societies.
Given this trend of civilization development, it is normal for human lords to doubt the intelligence of the Orcs.
However, this view is not absolute.
Because within the Human Empire, there are some human lords who do not think so.
They not only do not think that the Orcs are of low intelligence, but on the contrary, they believe that the Orcs' intelligence level is at the middle to high levels of the Lord Era.
There is even a possibility that the intelligence level of the Orcs is far beyond other races.
The reason why they put forward this view is also very simple.
The Orc Ancestor!
Although the Orc Ancestor did not enter the traditional Seven Gods of Order through some historical events, or wars of the gods, like some powerful deities.
But he is still recognized as a true god by all forces in the entire Human Empire, no, the entire Lord Era.
Simply put, the Orcs actually have a true god that belongs exclusively to their race!
Based on this alone, those human lords who hold the view that Orcs are of low intelligence cannot justify themselves to a great extent and cannot completely nail the Orcs to the pillar of shame of low intelligence.
After all, if the Orcs were really of low intelligence, they would not be able to have a true god belonging to their own race.
Not to mention, this true god named Orc Ancestor is also an unusually active true god who frequently bestows his divine revelations.
Because of the existence of the Orc Ancestor, the Orcs were very fortunate to be removed from the races with the lowest intelligence in the Lord Era.
However...
Although discussions about the intelligence level of the Orcs within the Human Empire have never stopped.
But every lord of the Human Empire must admit that the Orcs have extremely strong combat capabilities.
Regardless of the environment in which these Orcs are located, or the form of civilization they are in, as long as they are a large-scale Orc tribe, they possess extremely strong combat capabilities!
Moreover, they seem to be of low intelligence, but in essence, they are a very terrifying creature.
Because the Orcs, like humans, blood clans, dwarves, elves, and other races, are terrible monster races with the ability to attack across planes.
In fact, their brutality is even older than the history of the Human Empire!
And more importantly, the older the history of the Human Empire, the more brutal and terrifying the Orcs they record!
Just as Long Ge'er said.
They, the Iron Rain Tribe, are never crazy.
They are the real Orcs!
Because of this, the Orc Ancestor worshipped by the Orcs recognized this despicable Orc, who hunted ordinary Orcs as prey, as the best candidate to fight against the demon army this time.
——————————————————
"Hmm?"
"What's going on with these Orcs."
The day after Long Ge'er was appointed by the Orc Ancestor as the leader of these Orcs, Wu Wei, who was far away on the Abyss Throne, noticed something was wrong.
"Are they completely crazy, daring to actively attack the rear of my army?"
According to common sense, every army should be afraid of being attacked from the rear.
After all, the rear of the army is generally responsible for logistics, wounded, and a series of important matters.
But the problem is, Wu Wei's army is an existence that does not follow common sense at all.
Because Wu Wei's army does not have a so-called "rear".
All the soldiers currently responsible for Wu Wei's "logistics" are fundamentally a group of undead!
Wu Wei had previously tried to get the little devils and even the demon laborers to carry war materials.
But soon, he gave up this plan.
The reason is also very simple.
The little devils and demon laborers, these bastards, ate more than they transported!
Although the traitor Bill Jin, who was in charge of taking care of the demon laborers, would kill dozens of demon laborers during transportation every time, this situation has never improved.
Because of this, after Wu Wei tried it for a while, he decisively chose to let the little devils and demon laborers no longer come into contact with war materials, and instead let the undead controlled by De Lu be responsible for transporting war materials.
And after Wu Wei did this, it must be said that the overall improvement brought about by the undead can be said to be immediate.
After those gluttonous little devils were replaced, not only did the consumption of war materials of Wu Wei's army drop by a large margin, but also the efficiency of material transportation was greatly improved.
After all, the little devils and demon laborers were only working 997 at most, but the entire undead are 7X24 without interruption!
In addition, the undead themselves also have considerable combat power as undead creatures, so Wu Wei's army actually does not have a rear in the conventional sense.
But even in this case, today Wu Wei was surprised to find that the rear of his army was attacked by Orcs!
Moreover, the way of attacking and the way of fighting of that group of enemies are completely different from all the Orcs Wu Wei had seen in the past!

"...."
As Wu Wei frowned, he turned his gaze to the undead warriors who died in battle, and a figure deeply caught Wu Wei's attention.
That was a young Orc who was blind in one eye and wore a black wolf skin coat.
At this time, he was leading a group of Orcs whistling past, constantly harvesting the remaining undead.
And in his hand, he was holding a sword.
A sword engraved with the aura of the Orc Ancestor, symbolizing the supreme power of the Orcs.
But just as Wu Wei looked at him through the ability of the Eye of War, this young Orc seemed to sense something.
He turned his head and showed a mocking smile in the direction of Wu Wei's vision.
