My name is Ren

Chapter 681 Chapter [-] - - - - . -
In the rear of the orcs, it was different from the fierce battle on the front line. In this quiet room, several high-ranking orcs were sitting scattered, smoking cigarettes in their mouths.

The cigarettes were also sent by Ren. He is not the father of the half-orc. The half-orc has no blood relationship with him. If the half-orc could not threaten the stable rule of the Byron Empire, Ren would not support the half-orc. rebel cause.He hoped to see a protracted battle, the half-orcs and the humans of the Byron Empire, and the orcs would fight to the last drop of blood and die together.

It's just that the speed and momentum of this battle caught Rennes by surprise. The humans in the Byron Empire are simply too weak. It seems that they may not be able to sustain it for half a year, and they will be kicked out of the status of the dominant race by the half-orcs. .In order to make it difficult for the orc to become the new ruler of the Byron Empire, he always had to use some very simple but extremely effective means to do something.

Cigarettes, luxuries, are only part of the plan.

Enjoyment is a very strange feeling, and in the enjoyment, intelligent creatures will become lazy and hesitant.Enjoyment makes them pay more attention to the gains and losses in front of them, rather than paying attention to the not-too-distant future.Enjoyment is a kind of corruption. Any intelligent creature with independent personality and thinking, once corrupted, will make them pull more people into the water with a sense of guilt, and use this group behavior effect to alleviate their sense of guilt.

This group of senior members of the House of Hope, who have not been out of their humble status for a long time, have already put on soft robes and exquisite leather shoes. They not only take a bath every day, but also hire someone to take care of the circles of black hair on their faces .They want to eat exquisite food from the Federation, drink fine wine from the Desi Empire, and smoke cigarettes that are exported for domestic sale, and live like dignitaries in the upper class.

It is precisely because of this that they are sitting together now.

The structure of the House of Hope is relatively simple. The chairman is Thrace, there are three vice-chairmen, and about [-] high-level people.These people formed the half-orc provisional government, which was in charge of fighting and development in almost the whole country.They should have firmly followed in the footsteps of Thrace and completely overthrew the ruling class of the empire, but at this time, they didn't think so.

"If we really overthrow the human regime, then the next situation may be very bad." Oprah, one of the three vice presidents, spoke.This guy used to be a staunch fighter, or in other words, all the people here were once a staunch fighter.During those days of living in despair, all the half-orcs agreed that there was no other way to change the status and destiny of the half-orcs except war, so everyone had a firm heart to fight.

Oprah breathed out a puff of smoke, and she was almost lying on the sofa. He squinted his eyes, and lost focus in the narrow eye slits. "The orcs will not welcome us as the new dominant race. Once Thrace has With such an idea and putting it into action, I am afraid that those orcs who choose to wait and see now will regard us as enemies." When he said this, he smiled, and his laughter seemed to be filled with a sense of superiority in IQ, " Overthrowing a weak race like humans has already cost us many warriors, so what about orcs who are more powerful than humans? How many people do we need to sacrifice? 100 million? Or 200 million or more?"

He shook his head and sighed, "The Duke of Greybeard has millions of fighting strength, not to mention those powerful and numerous orc tribes. Once we fight them head-on, I am afraid our casualties will be very heavy. If we There are too many sacrificed people, they may drive us to extinction, this is definitely not what we want to see. The reason why we stand up against the human regime is not that we want to be the race that dominates the Byron Empire, but that we need fairness Fair treatment."

"We have these now, don't we? No one will enslave us, no one will despise and beat us, and we don't need to drown our children to save a morsel of food. Now, we have lived in the kingdom of heaven , what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Oprah's words made several other executives nod their heads in agreement. The life of the half-orcs is like... no, it is living in the kingdom of heaven!They've achieved a dream they thought they'd never be able to, so why keep fighting?Isn't it the most correct choice to consolidate everything you have obtained now?Compared with war, peace is what half-orcs need most at present.

"But apart from power, that wooden head of Thracian probably only has hatred left, and it's impossible to communicate!" Another high-level executive couldn't help complaining.

They had communicated with Thrace several times before, citing many examples and repeatedly persuading.It is enough for half-orcs to have their current territory and power.As long as the Byron Empire can recognize everything they have, is there any need to continue fighting?Is it necessary to turn the world upside down and let more warriors die in meaningless wars?
So many reasons have been said, but it is a pity that Thrace did not listen to a word. Not only did he not slow down the offensive, but intensified the intensity of the war.Look, in just a blink of an eye, he has already reached the periphery of the imperial capital. As long as it takes a while, the imperial capital will probably be taken by him.When that day comes... I am afraid that the life of the half-orcs will not be easy.

They are very likely to become nothing again.

"He's still too greedy for power..." someone teased with a half-smile, this point of view is very popular among the peace faction inside the orcs.Everything the orcs could have hoped for was already available at this moment, and there was no point in continuing to fight, and the war went on.The only thing that can be explained is that Thrace has a strong desire for power, and he hopes to control the entire empire.

This is a selfish desire, a chilling selfish desire!

The room became silent again. Thrace's special status made most irrational half-orcs believe everything he said, and they were willing to follow his firm footsteps to create a bright future.

The reality is good enough, what better future do you expect?
"We can't let him go on like this. The House of Hope is not his alone, it's ours too!", Oprah took the last puff of the cigarette and dropped the pipe on the ground, sparks reflected in his eyes, making him His eyes seemed to be so bright for a moment, "If he is not stopped, none of us will know where he will take us, nor what kind of future we will have."

"What's more!", he suddenly turned over and sat up, and opened his eyes, "Excessive concentration of power is harmful to all of us. Now the half-orcs only know Thrace, but they don't know the House of Hope. Not what we expected.", he shook his fist, "We've got so much stuff, it's time to change something!"

"What do you want to change? Are you going to be Thrace? Or kick him out?" Oprah frowned at the frivolous tone of the speaker, "Okay, we should recognize the reality, now the orcs They only listen to Thrace, they don't care about our thoughts and opinions at all."

"Then let them pay attention!" Oprah stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, "I think the method of the Desi people before is very good. They used the parliamentary method to solve the drawbacks of the concentration of power on one person. , we can do the same!"

"Didn't he say that he would respect the wishes of all orcs? This is our wish!"

"What if he doesn't want to?" asked an aging orc across from Oprah.

A gleam of coldness flashed in Oprah's eyes, "He will agree!"

Thrace, who has been fighting for the half-orc cause on the front line, will certainly not know that behind him, those people he trusts the most are trying to change his mind.In fact, he is also very clear that after laying down enough territory, some half-orcs have become inflated, and they even want to live on the territory they already own. This is undoubtedly a very, very stupid cognition.

Half-orcs have formed a deadly enmity with humans, and this enmity cannot be resolved by anyone or any force.Now that humans are at a disadvantage, they will of course agree to any conditions offered by the orcs. Once humans find enough capital, they will tear up the contract without hesitation and start a war again.His compatriots seem to have forgotten how shameless people used to be in just a few months, and how humans humiliated them, how they deceived them, and how they bullied them.

Thrace can only pretend that he didn't hear these voices in the ethnic group. He has only one thought now, which is to completely defeat the human forces within the Byron Empire, make humans the bottom of society, and make them never stand up.

Just when he was thinking about how to deal with the whole Byron situation after breaking the imperial capital and withdrawing the Byron royal family from the throne, his guards came over pushing a small cart with a magic sound box on it. There was a clear sound, and the magic resonance made the air above the magic sound box slightly distorted, and at the same time glowing dark blue.

The Desi people are really too smart, Thrace sighed, who would have thought that such a small thing could communicate with people far away.Many orcs think that the Desi are a weak race, but they don't understand that these guys with muscles in their heads are the real weak race.

After the guard saluted and retreated, Thrace took a breath and lifted the microphone of the magic sound box.

This is already the second generation of the magic sound box. According to Ren's opinion, and those powerful mages from other planes joined the Imperial Research Institute, the volume of the magic sound box is only two-thirds of the first generation. The shape has also changed a lot, more like the old black rotary telephone that Rennes put on his desk every day in his previous life.

"I am Thrace!"

There was a moment of silence in the microphone before a familiar voice came, "Dear leader, this is Oprah, good evening."

Hearing that the other party claimed to be Oprah, Thrace obviously became a little more relaxed. He was afraid that the initiator of this call was Sistine or the businessmen of the Federation.

"You don't need to be too polite, Oprah, is there anything you can do to find me so late?" Thrace pushed the cart to the edge of the tent, and opened the curtain on the tent, revealing a small window.The imperial capital, brightly lit in the distance, was just around the corner. If it wasn't for the trump card that Sistine took out that made everyone lose their desire to fight and morale after that moment, he might have ordered the soldiers to start attacking the city in the afternoon.

His eyes drifted a little, thinking of many things from the past.This bustling city in front of me belongs to humans and orcs, but it has never belonged to half-orcs, not even sympathy.This city refuses any half-orcs to enter here in any way. Anyone who finds half-orcs in this city can kill them at will.

But in just a few days, he'll conquer the city!

The voice in the microphone pulled him back from his longing to reality, "It's like this, can we stop attacking the imperial capital for a while? I think we should think about it calmly."

Thrace's expression changed a little, but his voice remained the same as before, "What are you thinking about?"

"Let go of hatred and prejudice, and let peace and tranquility return to this land. If you don't know what to do, I think I can act as a messenger to persuade the human emperor, and I will talk to him personally."

On the other side of the magic sound box, Oprah, facing the silence, knew that he could not persuade Thrace, who was as stubborn as before, and felt disgusted in his heart.This half-orc who doesn't know what to do, seems to be persecuting him when he welcomes peace. He has so resolutely rejected the bright future that he has betrayed the original principles of the House of Hope. He is the traitor who has betrayed all the orcs.

Oprah, who was unwilling to wait any longer, sneered, and continued: "There is another matter, I think I should inform you. Starting this afternoon, we... you know, we have formed a half-orc joint council, A total of 32 seats have been set up. Among them, there are 24 seats for the speaker and [-] seats for the council members. The missing people have been made up from the half-orcs. We have always believed that the fate and future of the half-orcs should be in our hands, what do you think?"

This is a very interesting interrogative sentence. If it is correct, it is tantamount to acquiescing in a disguised form to Oprah's establishment of the half-orc joint council.If it is not true, then Thrace is tantamount to admitting that he wants one person to hold all the power, and use one person's wisdom to decide the fate and future of millions of orcs.

No matter what kind of answer it was, he didn't want to see it.

Faced with such a sudden change, Thrace could not continue to remain silent!
