Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1931 Dead yet seemingly not dead

The situation on the Orc Alliance's side is that the countries with the best resources and the most abundant resources are all occupied by the strongest tribes. Only the strong are entitled to enjoy the resources, and this is the same everywhere.

Under this premise, some of the weaker orc tribes will choose to attach themselves to the stronger tribes, becoming their slaves in order to get a share of the spoils.

Among the surrounding countries, the Goblin Kingdom is considered a tough nut to crack.

Even so, they seized opportunities and often succeeded, so it was a close contest.

Among the surrounding forces, there really wasn't one that they couldn't completely plunder for food.

Until this place was changed to the Great Zhou Dynasty...

According to Mangu, they had considered the possibility of failure before they took action, and therefore they even set aside time to plunder food from other places.

However, even in his wildest dreams, Man Gu could never have imagined that this setback would actually drag him down with him.

Whenever he thought of this, Man Gu's feelings would become complicated.

So, am I dead or alive now?

He seemed to be dead, yet he also seemed not to be dead.

But in any case, it seems he won't have to worry about food anymore. His hungry stomach has left him forever, leaving only his bones burning with soul fire.

Let's get back to the topic of totems.

Wei Qing was indeed curious about the size of the Orc Alliance and the surrounding forces, and he inadvertently veered off-topic.

“Tell me about totems.”

Wei Qing didn't ask any specific questions. After circling the information he wanted to know, he simply told Man Gu to tell him as much as he knew.

Barbarian thought about this for a moment, then spoke slowly and deliberately...

"The enhancement of the totem is divided into two stages. The first stage is when you first drink the totem potion and activate the totem, at which time your physical attributes will receive a basic enhancement. The second stage is when you actively activate the totem..."

According to the description of the Barbarian, the power of the totem is contained in the blood of the orc. In battle, the orc's emotions will quickly become excited, and even his blood will boil, thereby activating the totem and significantly improving his strength in a short period of time.

Of course, this state cannot be maintained for long; when the totem is activated, it will continuously consume totem power.

How long it can last depends on the orc's actual strength.

The information provided by Man Gu at this time basically confirmed Lian Cheng's previous speculation.

In Wei Qing and Xie Liancheng's view, this system of orc totem power was relatively easy to understand.

According to their emperor, whether it's magic power, true qi, battle qi, or the totem power before them, it's all just energy, only they have different names for it.

You see, once you figure this out, everything becomes clear.

The activation of this totem power can be understood as a special class-specific feature. Activating the totem grants them that class, which includes a passive enhancement effect and an actively activated mantra combat skill.

Wei Qing quickly organized his thoughts, after all, every soldier in the Great Zhou now had a rank.

Meanwhile, the explanation from the Savage Bone continued...

"This is an enhancement that all totem warriors can obtain, but on this basis, different races can obtain different totem abilities."

"Our boar people's totem abilities grant us stronger defense and also allow us to reflect damage to a certain extent."

In other words, in addition to basic enhancement abilities, different unique enhancement abilities will be granted based on the different characteristics of each orc. Wei Qing clearly understood the abilities granted by the orc totem power in his mind.

While thinking about it, she subconsciously glanced at Xie Liancheng.

Noticing Wei Qing's gaze and having overheard Man Gu's words, Jie Liancheng couldn't help but reminisce for a while.

[Damage reflection? Has it ever reflected?]

Now that the Barbarian Bone has been transformed into an undead unit, it's impossible for him to lie, so Jie Liancheng can only look for the reason within himself.

[Did I kill too quickly and not feel it?]

"In addition, we boar people can quickly recover our strength and injuries by eating, which is also an ability given to us by the power of the totem."

After that, Barbarian spoke of the totem abilities of other orcs.

"The totem abilities of each tribe are generally not disclosed to other tribes, but after joining forces many times, one can detect some of them."

"Take the Badgers for example. Their totem warriors seem to feel no pain after being attacked, and they often become more ferocious the more they are injured."

"It's hard to tell from the werewolf's perspective; it might be related to their speed and agility."

The subsequent speculations by Mangu could offer them relatively limited value.

However, Wei Qing did not interrupt, even offering some ideas would be helpful.

It is also worth mentioning here that after being transformed into the undead, the Barbarian's race was changed from orc to undead.

Under this premise, he could no longer use any of the orcs' totem system abilities, and the enhancements that the totems provided to him naturally disappeared as well.

However, in return, he received the support of Zhou Xu's various "Undying Lord" items.

After that, Wei Qing, who had finished compiling the report, gave Zhou Xu a detailed briefing.

Zhou Xu was quite satisfied with the performance of their Great Zhou troops this time.

The night raid resulted in minimal casualties for the Great Zhou forces; their main losses were concentrated on ammunition.

The damage was quite noticeable, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

In the absence of sufficient visibility at night, if they wanted to suppress the invasion of the orc army, they could only resort to indiscriminate fire suppression, a tactic that required no shortage of ammunition.

Fortunately, they managed to repel the orc invasion and also gained something from it.

Besides the various orc intelligence obtained through the Savage Bones, the biggest gain was naturally a large number of orc corpses.

By now, they have mostly been transformed into undead by Gargamel.

Among them, there are 36 particularly unusual boar-men skeletons, and 192 wolf rider skeletons.

The former can become a large unit in the Undead army, while the latter can be used as a special cavalry unit for the Undead, and can be mixed with the previous Goblin Wolf Riders to form a larger Undead Wolf Rider force.

As for the badgers and kobolds, they become relatively ordinary after being converted into undead units.

Thanks to their racial advantages, their bone strength may be higher than that of ordinary undead soldiers, but as undead units, they do not possess any clear or special advantages. They are simply integrated into the main undead force and used as ordinary undead soldiers.
