How strong was Eugene?
This was a question worth thinking about.
First of all, Eugene was a rare genius among the Orcs. There was no doubt about this. In other words, Eugene was a hero from the start. His basic attributes were far superior to other Orcs. It was one of the few wise ones among the half-orcs. Whether it was strength or wisdom, it had no obvious shortcomings.
Then, Eugene had traveled the entire continent.
It was impossible to calculate how many abilities he gained from this journey, but there was no doubt that this kind of travel made Eugene more dangerous and more powerful than other professions of the same level.
Next, Eugene's profession level was around level 26 to 30.
If he leveled up in the battle with the Abyss Demons, then his profession level would average around level 28. According to the Challenge Rating + 5 of the leader template, Eugene, as the Orc Chieftain, could be regarded as a legendary creature close to level 33. In other words, Eugene's Challenge Rating might be a little higher than the Ancient Red Dragon!
The facts proved this point.
Eugene had no fear when facing the Ancient Brass Dragon. Even if the Ancient Brass Dragon dared to come underground, Eugene would dare to fight it head on!
Finally.
It wasn't the first time Søren fought with Eugene.
Although Soran had always had the advantage, in fact, Soran had never fought Eugene head-on from the beginning to the end. All the battles were fought in a guerrilla style, using long attacks to win. Occasionally, he had to transform into a Slaughterer to fight head-on. If he didn't transform into Slaughter, Søren would have a hard time taking a direct hit from Eugene. This was because Eugene was a War Shaman. His close combat ability was more terrifying than an ordinary Legendary Warrior. He could also mobilize the power of the Orc's Ancestral Soul.
Therefore, Eugene's true strength could be regarded as a War Shaman with a Challenge Rating of 27 or above. He was more dangerous than most demigods. His strength was similar to many weak gods.
The facts proved this point.
Eugene had no fear in the face of Soran at this time, but he maintained a vigilant expression. The only ones who could make him show a similar expression were the secondary demon lord and the ancient brass dragon that descended from Fallen Leaf City.
Søren was a True God now.
Moreover, he was a True God with [Lesser Divine Power]. For ordinary Legendary Professionals, Søren could completely crush them.
Eugene stood in front of him without any fear. Without enough strength, it was impossible to stand in front of him.
This was also the reason why Søren had sought him out.
[Ascendant], Eugene!
The old half-orc in front of him should be the top native profession in the material plane. In terms of combat power, he was probably more powerful than the great chief of the orcs (Challenge Rating: 24). In history, Eugene was able to slay gods by relying on his own strength. If there were only a few legendary professions in the entire material plane that could help Søren kill the Shadow Lord, Eugene was undoubtedly one of them.
Furthermore, this fellow was the best meat shield in the material plane, capable of healing and tanking!
If it weren't for the fact that Eugene was really powerful and Søren had a use for him, perhaps Søren wouldn't have contacted him at this time. After all, the half-elves and the half-orcs were now enemies. The continuous wars between the two sides had already become a blood feud. Søren was the patron of the half-elves. If he contacted Eugene at this time, it would definitely not be good news for the half-elves. As for subduing Eugene or controlling the half-orc tribe, or even cooperating on the surface, Søren almost didn't even think about it. Because if he did this, what would the half-elves who had already settled in Mordor and had their relatives and friends slaughtered by the half-orcs think?
Would everyone put down their hatred and live a happy life?
That would be too naive.
The cooperation with Eugene could only be done in secret. The things that Søren promised could only be done in secret.
Otherwise, Søren would hurt the feelings of the half-elves.
As a high god, Søren sometimes had to think from the point of view of the believers. The war between the half-elves and the half-orcs had just ended. The hatred could not fade so quickly, and the two sides could not get along well in a short time. Even Søren could only use secret operations to balance all this. As long as these things were not put on the table, there would be no problem. As for after the death of the [Shadow Lord], Søren would have taken over the [Shadow] and [Rogue] clergy at that time. At that time, the [Half-elf] clergy might be stripped from the main clergy to the secondary clergy.
Søren would have fewer things to worry about at that time.
The [Half-elf] clergy could not always be Søren's main clergy. In the future, his main clergy would definitely be concentrated on [Shadow], [Slaughter], and [Death].
Only with [Shadow] as the main clergy could Søren quickly reach the level of [Mid-level Divine Power].
…
No one knew what Søren and Eugene talked about next because at the beginning of the conversation, Søren used his Divine Power to seal all the surrounding space.
About two days later.
Eugene suddenly gave the order to seal off the forest near the village where the Half-Orcs were staying. Then he let many adult Half-Orcs wait outside. After about half an hour, a faint magic light appeared on the ground, followed by a temporary portal. Then, a number of golems and clay golems came out of the portal. These golems were carrying heavy boxes in their hands. Hundreds of golems appeared one after another. After nearly half an hour, a small mountain of materials had been piled up next to the portal.
Following that, the golems returned to the portal one after another, and the pitch-black portal gradually closed.
At this time, Eugene ordered the half-orcs outside to come in.
As soon as they came into the forest, the half-orcs couldn't help but be surprised because they saw bags of food in front of them. All of them were high-quality grains, which were difficult to produce in the barren north. Only the south, where the climate and soil environment were better, could produce them. These grains were better than the ones in Autumnfall because they came from the south coast, which was also very conducive for human farming.
In addition, there were many boxes filled with meat.
All of them were filled with salted fish, and each fish was marinated. Even if they were stored for a long time, there was no need to worry about them going bad.
For the half-orcs who were close to the end of the line, the materials in front of them were simply a life-saving straw.
The fire of the demons burned down the village, and naturally destroyed a lot of the granaries.
Eugene reached out and tore open one of the grain bags. He picked up a full wheat grain with his fingers and put it in his mouth to chew. Then, like an old human farmer, he nodded and said in a deep voice, "Move it all back."
"Let people be careful. Don't touch these grains. They are all very good seeds. The tribe still uses the previous rye as the staple food."
Eugene was used to a hard life. After seeing these grains, the first thing he thought of was to use them as seeds.
It was ridiculous.
As one of the most powerful professions in the material plane, Eugene had never married or had children in his life, nor did he enjoy the life of an emperor and a chief. His daily food and drink were not even comparable to ordinary human merchants. Most of the time, he was no different from an ordinary half-orc.
When he first took over as the chief of the half-orcs, the entire half-orc clan was in the most difficult period.
With the Ogres as their enemy and the Frost Giants eyeing them from behind, the Half-Orc clan was trapped in the Northwest Wilderness with nowhere to go. The White Calamity had almost wiped out all the cattle, sheep, and wild boars that the clan had grazed. Although Eugene led the half-orc clan to defeat the ogres with amazing fighting power, he also single-handedly solved the crisis of the frost giant king.
But in the end, the dilemma he faced still did not have the slightest chance of turning around.
That was the most painful period for Eugene. Although he desperately led the warriors of the clan to hunt in the snow, many of the half-orc clan still starved to death every day in that winter!
At that time, he had the strength of a demigod, but there was still no way to save his people.
Eugene was just a war shaman.
No matter how strong he was, there was no way to make food out of thin air. Even if he desperately hunted and killed for half a month without sleep, he was only one person after all. With his ability, how much prey could he hunt to feed the tens of thousands of hungry people in the clan?
In that extremely cold winter.
Tens of thousands of half-orcs starved to death, and Eugene also deeply realized that the half-orcs must gradually transform from a nomadic civilization to an agricultural civilization!
It took Eugene decades to implement all of this.
He defeated the ogres in the northwest wilderness and drove the frost giants to the coldest northern mountains. He swept away the threat of the gnolls and forced the lizardmen back to the swamp area. Then Eugene began to look for places to cultivate and cultivate in this barren and barren land. Little by little, he transformed the half-orcs from nomadic fishing and hunting to a semi-agricultural civilization. In the past few decades, the half-orcs had been accumulating strength because compared to humans, elves, and dwarves, the half-orcs were too weak.
It was not until Eugene felt that the time was right that he launched an attack on the half-elves!
It had to be said.
From a bystander's point of view, Eugene was really an indisputable hero of the half-orc race.
Although for the half-elves, he was just an evil executioner!
A butcher.
A homicidal maniac.
A demon who invaded their homeland and started a war!
…
The food was transported away bag by bag.
Eugene also returned to the tribe. The sudden arrival of supplies made the entire half-orc clan excited. Eugene opened the box, took out a dried salted fish from it, and threw it into the big pot of cooking food.
After a while.
Eugene reached out and scooped up a bowl of soup and tasted it. He nodded gently, and a smile finally appeared on his old face. He slowly said, "In the future, prepare food according to this quota. Let the people dig more wild vegetables and hunt more prey. When the autumn harvest comes, we don't have to worry about food. "
Salted fish from Mordor city.
Eugene was very satisfied with this because there was a lot of meat in the food provided by Søren. These fish could provide enough nutrition for the warriors, and these salted fish were very good. All of them were real sea salt. This meant that for a long time in the future, the half-orc clan would not have to supplement salt through other means. This was only the first batch of materials provided by Mordor city. According to the conditions promised by Søren, a batch of materials would be sent in the future. Even if they succeeded in killing the [Shadow Lord], Mordor city would provide them with a batch of fine weapons forged by military to deal with the future attack of the demons.
Sometimes things were like this.
Mordor city's warehouse was almost full because of a rich harvest. The salted fish that no one could finish was a rare and precious material for the half-orc clan.
They were also the most powerful professions in the material plane.
The Princess Royal of Arendelle and Eugene of the half-orc clan were two extremes. If Eugene joined the orc clan, he might be able to live a very luxurious life. But from the moment Eugene decided to carry the responsibility of the entire clan on his shoulders, he was destined to live a very difficult life.
This kind of person was a hero.
Even among all the races, only the half-orcs thought so!
…
(PS: In the eyes of other races, Eugene was an ambitious war maniac, and he must be carefully guarded against. Everyone should pay attention to Fu Tu's public account. The plot will be intertwined later. If you don't pay attention to it, the plot will be a bit different.)
