The Way of the Heavens

A fierce werewolf army rode giant wolves and advanced rapidly in the forest. A werewolf leader who was nearly two meters tall in the front looked at the lunar star blocked by clouds in the sky. The ferocious wolf head grinned and said in the language of the werewolf tribe.

"Hurry, we have to reach the tauren city in front before dawn. What qualifications do these damned tauren have to occupy the most fertile land here? We werewolves are the masters here. We must kill them all and take their land!"

"Yes! Kill them all!" The werewolf army responded, controlling the giant wolves under their feet to speed them up.

Under the cover of darkness, the werewolf army rushed through dozens of miles of wilderness and forests without stopping. About an hour later, a small city appeared in front of the werewolf army.

The werewolf leader paused with his hand, and the well-trained werewolf army controlled the giant wolves to slowly stop and hide in the dense forest.

It was a small city, covering an area of ​​200,000 square meters, with about thousands of minotaurs inside, and a three-meter-high wall built with earth and stone outside. There were more than a dozen sentry towers distributed on the four walls, with only four on each side.

The werewolf leader observed for a moment, and then gave an order. The werewolf army, under the cover of darkness, suddenly attacked the minotaur city and rushed to a city gate at a very fast speed.

During this process, when the alert minotaurs on the sentry tower discovered it, the distance between the front werewolf and the city gate was less than 50 meters.

"Enemy attack!"

A sharp and shrill voice broke through the silence of the night, awakening the sleeping minotaurs in the city, and also increased the speed of the werewolf army again.

"Swish, swish, swish"

Several minotaurs on the sentry tower quickly picked up their bows and arrows and shot arrows, killing two or three werewolf soldiers who were unable to dodge, but it did not have much impact on the overall situation

As expected, the werewolf army broke through the wooden city gate like a sharp sword, crossed the city wall, and entered the minotaurs' city.

Then, ten werewolf soldiers formed a small team and slaughtered in the city. In less than a while, the minotaurs who had just gotten up from bed and picked up their weapons after hearing "enemy attack" suffered heavy casualties.

Although the minotaurs were brave, they were not prepared in advance. Most of them had just woken up from sleep and faced several werewolves alone. Therefore, after the werewolf army, who were cavalry, charged back and forth several times, the minotaurs were killed and wounded.

The minotaur leader held a huge stone axe in each hand, looking at the scenes in front of him, and was extremely angry. He shouted and rushed into the werewolf army. He swept the stone axe forward, and several werewolf soldiers instantly broke bones and vomited blood. It was obvious that they would not survive.

The stone axe turned again and chopped down. Suddenly, the giant wolf ridden by the werewolf soldier let out a mournful cry, and its body was torn in half. Blood and internal organs were scattered on the ground, which was extremely terrifying.

The werewolf leader snorted coldly, slapped the giant wolf under his seat, and instantly accelerated to the front of the minotaur leader. He stabbed with a spear made of giant beast bones in his hand, forcing the minotaur leader who was killing people to retreat.

The leader of the minotaur roared and fought with the leader of the werewolf. However, the werewolf army was outnumbered and only the leader of the minotaur was left. He was exhausted and died under the gun of the werewolf leader!

When the leader of the minotaur was dying, he stared at the leader of the werewolf in front of him and said, "You guys, one day the beast god will make you pay the price!"

The werewolf leader sneered and cut off the head of the leader of the minotaur. "The great beast god will not care about your life or death."

The werewolf army killed all the minotaurs who were taller than the giant wolf, and then drove away the captured minotaur women and children, took away all the property here, and burned the city to ashes.

...

The scene of the werewolf army slaughtering a minotaur city happened repeatedly on the land in the northwest of the Yuanjie continent.

When other intelligent races developed their own races and entered the farming civilization from the hunting civilization without contacting other intelligent races, the various races of orcs had already fought and killed each other endlessly.

In order to survive in space and food, the conflicts between the various orc races became more and more serious. Finally, in the 630th year of the birth of the intelligent race, the war between the lion-man and the dog-headed man for a fertile land began.

The war ignited this land, and countless orc tribes were destroyed in the war. The scale of the battle became larger and larger. At the same time, the annexation between races became more and more intense. The conflict and integration of different cultures between the races continued to spark civilization.

First, in order to resist the invasion and sneak attack of the enemy, the tribes surrounded by simple wooden fences became cities protected by walls built with soil and stones. Large and small cities were scattered throughout the northwest. The large cities had tens of thousands of orcs, and the small cities had no more than a thousand orcs. The orcs entered the city-state era.

War also promotes the evolution of weapons. Weapons made of bronze shine in wars. Bronze weapons can easily cut off stone swords and bone spears and chop off the heads of enemies. The power of bronze weapons surprised all tribes and made them increase their efforts to mine ores. The number of bronze artifacts continued to increase.

At the same time, in order to meet the large amount of labor required to build cities and mine minerals, defeated tribes were no longer slaughtered once they were defeated, but were reduced to lowly slaves and sent to build city walls or mine ores. Of course, there were also slaves who served as cannon fodder in wars.

In order to avoid being exterminated in the war, the weak tribes surrendered to the powerful races and prayed for protection; and the powerful races were also willing to accept the surrender of the other party in order to strengthen their own strength. The strong will always be strong, and the weak will remain weak.

In addition, in order to ensure normal language communication between different orc races, the languages ​​and writings of each race have been constantly evolving, and a new common language of the orcs was born. All races have used the common language of the orcs.

Finally, after decades of wars of all sizes, in the 673rd year of the birth of the intelligent race, the orcs, led by more than a dozen races such as the lion-man, tiger-man, snake-man, and ape-man, established their own city-state regimes. The surrounding city-state races respected these dozens of city-states and surrendered to them, and the turbulent northwest land calmed down...

In the following hundreds of years, although the area of ​​the Metaverse Continent continued to expand, the territory of the major intelligent races expanded faster, and naturally and inevitably came into contact with other races and had exchanges and communication with each other.

However, by this time, the territories of various tribes had long been able to meet their own populations, so there was no large-scale war like the orcs, and there was more communication and integration between different civilizations.

For example, the human race, after thousands of years of reproduction, has only reached a population of more than one million, but the footprints of the human race are spread over more than one million square kilometers, so there is no need to go to war with foreign races to compete for territory. They put more energy on internal development and unification.

On the Metaverse Continent, cities of all sizes stand on the wilderness, mountains, and plains. The society has also begun to be divided into different classes such as nobles, civilians, and slaves. There are different divisions of official positions and priesthoods, and a hint of the embryonic form of a country has emerged.

With the arrival of the 1,200th year, the sleeping supreme will gradually awakened...
