Great Nobleman

After hearing Sonia's words, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Brand and Catherine beside him couldn't help but reveal a curious look.

At the same time, after hearing the word "artifact", Haidilin and Celine, who were chatting nearby, also unconsciously cast their concerned glances over.

Without keeping anyone in suspense, Sonia slowly explained:

“You all know the basic information about the orc totem.

Unlike the magic weapons we have, the totems of the Orc Empire are products of another system.

At the same time, it is also a very important spiritual symbol of each orc tribe.

Generally speaking, the longer a totem has been worshipped and the older it is, the more powerful its power will be.

In the last era, the orc artifact that we called the [War Totem] was actually just an ancient totem of the Orc Empire.

The Orc Empire actually has some similar ancient totems in its collection.

However, most of the orc tribes that worshipped these ancient totems have disappeared in the long river of history, and no one can use them anymore.

Their power faded over time, and they eventually became ordinary ancient objects.

It’s similar to the totems in our collection room.

Of course, I'm not talking about the problem of these totems that have lost their power.

Rather, it is about the powerful totems currently being worshipped by the Orc Empire, including the [War Totem], and the issue of the ‘usage rights’ of these totems.”

Hearing this, Brand quickly made some guesses:

"Could it be that some orc tribes from other continents have been recognized by these powerful totems and have the right to use them?"

Sonia responded:

“That’s true, but it’s also more than that.

There are also some powerful totems from the continent of Rios that recognize the orcs of certain tribes in the current Orc Empire.

Tracing back to their origins, they actually belong to the same orc tribe!

This is also the main reason why many tribes of the Orc Empire have close ties with the Orc tribes in the outside continent.

This involves the historical legacy of the continental wars of the previous era.

Although we were aware of it, the current situation is much more serious than we imagined.”

After a brief pause, Sonia continued:

“It’s similar to the fact that there is a forbidden branch of the Mage profession called the Necromancer.

The orc race originally had some forbidden professions involving undead methods.

Before the wars of the last era, many orc tribes were famous on the continent for these extraordinary professions that are now taboo.

But after the end of the continental war in the last era, under the general will of all races on the continent, all related professionals and heritages disappeared, leaving only the part that was easily accepted by people.

You should be able to guess what happened during this process, right?"

Hearing this, Haidilin said:

“In the past, our Elf Forest also had many well-known and respected necromancers.

But since then, they have disappeared.

According to the historical records of our royal court elves, most of them left the continent of Fanes during that period and went outside the continent.

Although the elves who recorded this history beautified this process somewhat, the essence of it all was a kind of [expulsion].

The situation in the Orc Empire should be similar.

As far as I know, because orcs are known for their barbarism, in their eyes, the boundary between the living and the undead is not that clear.

Therefore, in the past eras, they were more accepting of the inheritance of the undead, and undead professionals were more common among them.

If I remember correctly, it was after the end of the continental war in the last era.

Hearing this, Brand raised his eyebrows and said:

"So they want to come back now? These orc tribes also want to welcome them back and strengthen their power?"

Sonia nodded and said:

“That’s roughly what happened.

For orcs, it is easy to tell whether a strange orc is one of their own.

Just take out a tribal totem and activate the sensor to find out.

Their 'ancestors' will tell them whether the orcs in front of them are their compatriots.

The current situation is:

The various tribes of the Orc Empire have now more or less met many compatriots from the outside world.

The totems carried by some of the powerful ones can even be directly connected to the various existing totems in the Orc Empire, and even the [War Totem] at the artifact level.

It would be fine if these people had bad intentions.

But as far as I know, many orc tribes have benefited from it. They have welcomed back their lost heritage, lost totems, and lost branch tribesmen.

Some ancient totems were even reawakened by these orcs.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

With these gains, they can obviously make the tribe stronger.

Therefore, for many orc tribes, this is a 'road to rise' that cannot be abandoned!"

Hearing this, Catherine suddenly said:

“No wonder we never understood why the internal divisions within the Orc Empire were so exaggerated.

These things should have been kept secret by the various tribes of the Orc Empire before, right?"

Sonia nodded and said:

"Almost. Before this, we only knew some details and had no idea that these orcs from the outer continent had already caused such a big impact within the Orc Empire."

After figuring out the origin of all this.

Brand couldn't help but frowned and thought:

“After learning these things, I feel that the Orc Empire is even less trustworthy.

The Orc Empire as a whole has never given us a positive response and has concealed these things.

Isn't that just trying to fish in troubled waters, wait for a higher price, and seek greater profits? "

Sonia responded:

“You are right, but we cannot generalize.

Like our friends, the Barbarian Hoof Tribe, they did not disclose these things to us only because of the overall situation of the Orc Empire and their position in the Orc Empire.

Now that we have declared war on the Orc Empire and the two factions within the Orc Empire are gradually splitting apart, they immediately showed us their sincerity.

So there are still many orc tribes worth winning over."

Brand nodded and said:

"That's true, but this matter does not affect our 'rectification plan'.

In other words, the necessity of our plan is even further highlighted.

In addition, can we disclose the relevant information to all ethnic groups on the mainland and attract other races on the mainland to join?

In this way, our pressure should be shared and the plan should be executed more thoroughly.”

Speaking of this issue, Sonia shook her head and said:

“This idea has actually been proposed by someone in our Department of External Affairs, and we are now working on contacting other ethnic groups.

But by comparison, I am now more worried about the actions on Rios Continent.

Judging from the current situation, their influence on the Orc Empire is more profound than we imagined.

So if the worst happens, the Orc Empire may face a drastic change.

We need to prepare to be affected as soon as possible.”
