Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Power of the Orcs Carlos Bloodfang was sitting on his throne looking at the four legion commanders standing in front of him, four tall orcs in heavy metal armor, somewhat uneasy, awaiting their king's question.
"Have you found out where the giant bird came from?"
Carlos was twenty-five years old, nearly middle-aged for an orc who had only lived fifty years, but his face showed no signs of aging, his eyes were sharp, his hands were full of strength, his fangs glistened with cold light, and his golden adamantite armor was full of words describing the greatness of the Beastmaster.
This great warrior who led the first of his tribe's soldiers to storm the Beast Blood Fortress four years ago is now the king of all orcs, and every orc believes that this king will lead them out of their cages and become the overlord of the continent.
"Your Majesty, we haven't found it yet, that bird is flying too high and fast, even the Dragon Slayer Master can't catch up."
One of the four orc captains replied helplessly.
"Well, then, go down."
Carlos nodded noncommittally at his captain's answer, and sent the four out.
A black-robed man walked out of the palace's secret room, and Carlos hurriedly stood up to meet him.
"Teacher, is there any news for the blackbird?"
Carlos asked respectfully.
"It's been confirmed that it was sent by humans, but there's no word on whether it's a creature or something else."
The black-robed man said in a hoarse voice, a smell of sulfur filling the air with his words.
"So do humans still know our strength after all?"
Carlos frowned and said, although the king of orcs has only become a king, he has begun to show the momentum of a king.
"Sooner or later, it will be discovered, my predecessors never thought of keeping it a secret, the altar of the advent ceremony will start to be built soon, and when the beast god comes to this world, whether it is a human or an elf, they are not a problem, as for your lifespan, it will be completely solved."
The black-robed man didn't care about all the leaks in the orc kingdom in front of the eyes of humans, he was more concerned about how to complete the beast god's advent ceremony as soon as possible.
"The materials for the altar have been gathered, and we need two more years to complete the temple."
Carlos nodded, he was confident in building the altar, even if the cowardly humans really knew that the orcs were summoning their gods, what if they could attack the plateau?
"Humanity can't see from the sky what we're building, and by the time they understand it's too late, and then only destruction awaits them, which is the common will of the great beast god and the will of the world."
The black-robed man told a shocking secret with his hands behind his back.
"Hehehehe, since the will of the world is on our side, what else can stop us."
Carlos' cruel laughter echoed through the orc palace.
"What are the orcs hiding?"
Zhao Yannian once again checked the footage taken by His Royal Highness Leo driving the blackbird over the Beast Plateau.
The picture recorded by the magic crystal is not like a computer that can stop zooming in and out at will, but with Zhao Yannian's current instantaneous memory ability, he can clearly replay every detail of the picture projected by the magic crystal in his mind, but Zhao Yannian still activated the image in the magic crystal again in some disbelief.
"One city with a population of more than three million, eleven cities with a population of more than a million, plus those nomadic tribes, the population of orcs is much larger than we expected."
Randolph sat next to Zhao Yannian and spoke.
"This strength is enough for the orcs to rush down the plateau and wash all the outer territories in blood, maybe only by relying on the eternal protection of humanity can barely survive."
After Zhao Yannian calculated the strength of the orc clan, he became more and more unable to understand the actions of the orcs over the years.
"The Supreme Council is also looking into why orcs do this."
Randolph said with a cold face as he looked at the huge cities and orc herds in the magic crystal.
At the end of May, the Blackbird was handed over to the Supreme Council for use, and the Blackbird's outstanding performance was praised by all members of the Supreme Council and His Royal Highness Leo, and Zhao Yannian's War Arms Research Institute has officially become an official department of the human kingdom from this moment, and Zhao Yannian will have the right to select outstanding talents and mobilize a certain limit of materials across the country.
However, before Zhao Yannian could be happy, the image taken by the blackbird from the sky above the Beast Plateau poured cold water on him.
The hidden power of the orcs is far greater than they have shown during previous orc invasions, and the orcs with a population of nearly 20 million not only had a unified kingdom two hundred years ago, but they have also built huge cities, and already have metal smelting technology, and a large army armed to the teeth.
This news was like a blow to the head of the Supreme Council, and even His Majesty Edward, who most wanted to destroy the orcs, became silent in the previous meetings.
Then the news began to spread in the upper echelons of the kingdom, and Zhao Yannian learned about it after the first meeting of the Supreme Council, but it was not until June that he got the magic crystal and saw the specific image record.
"What is the decision of the Supreme Council?"
Zhao Yannian knew very well that he had no qualifications to speak on this kind of high-level decision-making, and no matter what decision the Supreme Council made, he had only one option, obeying.
"Restart the construction of the Beast Blood Fortress and increase the investment in the Northwest Legion, which will expand to 1.5 million people within three years, which is also the limit of what the Supreme Council can support.
As for your industrial plans, they are still going according to plan, and if the orcs do come in the future, His Majesty Edward has promised to re-expand the scope of the Eternal Guardian.
Randolph stopped talking, and Zhao Yannian fell into deep thought.
Although the orcs are strong, but the human race has not given up in despair, the expansion of the Northwest Legion and the expansion of the beast blood fortress are all positive signals for humans to fight against the orcs, but Zhao Yannian doesn't think that the city wall can stop the legend of the orcs, you must know that the number of legends of the orcs has been kept at two or three in the past, at that time, the human population of the orcs was estimated to be about five million, and now the confirmed orc population is more than four times the previous estimate, so what about the legend?
As the most populous race on the Longmian Continent, human beings also have the largest number of legendary powerhouses, six legendary mages, and six legendary warriors, but as the overlord of this world, human beings must always maintain a sufficient number of legendary powerhouses to make the various races on the continent remain fearful of them.
Now that the orcs not only possess conventional force comparable to humans, but also may possess the same number of legendary powers as humans, Edward and Zhao Yannian's ambitious attempt to destroy orcs with industrial power has come to naught.

The attitude of the members of the Supreme Council, who had always supported the war, began to be conservative, and some people even proposed to establish diplomatic relations with the orcs on an equal footing and sign a peace treaty.
"Since you can't beat it, you just need to work hard to defend it first."
Zhao Yannian sat in the dark room for a long time before sighing leisurely.
In mid-June, Zhao Yannian's gunpowder weapons factory and aircraft factory began mass production of firearms, and the aircraft production line had been installed, but Zhao Yannian had not yet drawn the design drawings of the aircraft to be produced.
The Supreme Council's support for Zhao Yannian's industrial plan has increased significantly, and a steady stream of supplies and more alchemists, magicians, and craftsmen from all over the human kingdom have been pouring into the Rodnik Territory day and night.
The power armor factory has been expanded again, with the increase of alchemists and the mechanized production of most of the parts, the power armor is frantically equipping the Northwest Legion at a rate of five thousand units per month, and the output continues to rise, it can be expected that in three years, the Northwest Legion will have more than 300,000 power armor warriors, and this is also the total amount of seventh-order magic crystals that the Supreme Council can come up with.
The Northwest Legion began to destroy the entrance to the underground world on the Northwest Plains with a large amount of explosives since mid-June, after this move was discovered in Eternal Night City, the Northwest Legion was retaliated by the Dark Elves, and a dozen hundred-person squads were attacked and killed by the Dark Elves at night, but the assassination could not stop the Northwest Legion's actions, and the entire Northwest Territory was destroyed by the Northwest Legion except for the abyss that was blasted out by His Highness Leo and the Hell Lord.
In late June, in the underground laboratory of Lord Rodnik's Mansion, Zhao Yannian was sweating profusely in front of a two-meter-tall humanoid mecha, various coils, gears, and parts were reinstalled on the humanoid mecha one by one by Zhao Yannian, who has now officially become a high-level professional, and a diamond-shaped energy spar full of metal circuits was installed on the back of the mecha.
"Shiro, start it up again."
Zhao Yannian ordered.
"Yes!
Shelu understands!
The three-headed Shiro, who was only seventy centimeters tall, was sitting in a humanoid mecha at this time, holding a joystick with both hands.
"The safety lock is opened, the identity authentication is completed, the power lock is opened, the power furnace is started, the cockpit is closed, and the mecha is started."
With a series of confirmations from Shiro, the humanoid mecha swayed and fought like a classic car, and the exhaust pipe behind him kept coughing black smoke like a patient with lung disease.
"Activate the Law Jammer."
Zhao Yannian stretched out a hand and pressed it on the activated goblin mecha and ordered.
"The Law Disruptor Activates Begins."
With Xilu's words, Zhao Yannian could clearly feel a spiritual energy similar to world consciousness enveloping the goblin mecha's body.
Later, Zhao Yannian discovered that his ultimate alchemy had failed.
