In the Orc Empire, the Half-Orcs were a somewhat awkward group.
Unlike the fantasy novels that Sui Xiong had read before he traveled to this world, in this world, the difference between the Orcs and the Half-Orcs was not by bloodline, but by faith.
The Orcs were all the creations or descendants of the Orc Gods. Because of the influence of their bloodline, they were naturally believers of the Orc Gods, and even their souls were controlled by the Orc Gods.
This situation was almost unique. Although the creation gods of other races also had a strong influence, they definitely could not reach the point of soul control. For example, the creation god of the human race, the Mother of Water, did not have much control and influence over the human race, so she later died in the hands of the God of Light.
Because of the influence and control of their souls, the Orcs were very devout in their faith to the Orc Gods. But this situation was not absolute. Sometimes, there would be Orcs who awakened for various reasons and got rid of the soul control of the Orc Gods. Within the Orc Empire, this situation was called "degeneration." There were also mixed-blood Orcs and other races. Because of the lack of bloodline concentration, they were born not under the control of the Orc Gods.
Whether they were born or acquired, once their souls got rid of the control of the Orc Gods, they were called Half-Orcs.
In the Orc Empire, the situation of the Half-Orcs was not good. Even if their faith was as devout as before, the Orc Gods would not respond to them because of this. For the Orc Gods, believers who were not under their control were not qualified believers. They looked at such believers like farmers looking at weeds on the roadside. In times of famine, they might consider eating weeds, but in normal times, no one would put them on the menu.
And for a devout believer, it was very painful to have his faith ignored and not get any response.
But this was not the only thing that was painful. When the Orcs looked at those who did not get the response of the Gods, they were not friendly. In the past years, there had been more than one wave of slaughtering the Half-Orcs to purify their faith. Every time, thousands or even tens of thousands of Half-Orcs would be slaughtered.
Fortunately, this situation had not happened in the last one or two hundred years, probably because Junero, who was talented and bold, secretly controlled the public opinion. But even Junero was not friendly to the Half-Orcs. Not only did he heavily exploit and oppress them, but every time a war broke out, he also organized the Half-Orcs into an independent army to carry out the most difficult, most dangerous, but less meritorious tasks.
Half-beastmen weren't idiots, nor were they masochists. Therefore, many of them would change their past beliefs after being taught a cruel lesson. They would also change their way of life, leaving their homeland and going far away to other places.
On the Main Plane, Beastmen were the most common vagrant race. These people had the bloodline of Beastmen, but they were unable to receive a response from their creator like the Beastmen. Among these confused vagrants, there were the best mercenaries, but there were also the most ruthless bandits.
After losing their faith, a small number of powerful half-orcs took honor as their creed. Even the proudest knight had to admit that their actions were righteous and noble. Half-Orcs with God, Half-Orcs, who, who was, and the majority had lost. had the majority, and were. They had had were, C, Who were, and had Have, and, God.
The Half-Orcs, who made up the majority of the population, had no ability. They could not be chivalrous, nor did they have the ability to do evil. They led a muddle-headed life, wandering, working, and after saving some money, they would continue to wander, looking for a place where they could feel at ease. But most of these Half-Orcs could not find a place where they could feel at ease. They could only wander, grow old, and finally die in poverty.
In general, most of the Half-Orcs were not satisfied. They were eager to find a place where they could live and work in peace, or learn some skills that could help them live a stable life.
Recently, the weather in the Orc Empire was not very good. Although there were no large-scale natural disasters, the grain harvest had indeed declined. It was said that this was because the new Sun God had a good relationship with the Human Gods, so he deliberately made things difficult for them. In addition, after the fall of the Goddess of Harvest, this priesthood had not been inherited.
In the past, the Orc Gods often gave the Goddess of Harvest a lot of benefits in exchange for the fertility of the Orc Prairie. It was by relying on the fertility that the Orc Prairie could maintain a large number of Orc tribes. Since the death of the Goddess of Harvest, fertility could not be bought. The Orc Prairie lost its extra fertility, and the population that could support it naturally decreased greatly.
If it were not for the many people who died in the battle of Sun's Dying Day and the elimination of a large population, the situation of the Orc Empire would have been even worse, and the population pressure would have been even greater.
When the population pressure was greater, food would naturally be insufficient. When food was insufficient, the first to go hungry were naturally the Half-Orcs.
In recent years, the Half-Orcs had been suffering from hunger, and many had died of starvation. They were living a very hard life.
So this time, when they heard that the new technical school in the Republic of Northwest did not require tuition, a large number of relatively strong Half-Orcs disregarded the danger and followed the businessmen who valued money more than their lives. They crossed the vast desert, passed through a few valleys in the Barren Mountains, and came to the Republic of Northwest.
In the Republic of Northwest, they met their fellow countrymen, the Half-Orcs who had long settled here.
The Republic of Northwest did not discriminate against the Half-Orcs. Sui Xiong was usually very kind, but he was quite strict with many problems, one of which was racial discrimination.
This was not a policy that came into being after the founding of the Republic. It was a basic national policy that had been set when Sui Xiong established the Church of the Void Mask and the Void Mask amusement park. In the Republic of Northwest, racial discrimination was a high-voltage wire. Anyone who stepped on it would be electrocuted to death — this was not a description or a metaphor. The Republic of Northwest really had "electrocution" in its penal code. It was inspired by a man with the surname Yang, who had a very bad reputation on Earth. It mainly punished those who had ideological problems, and racial discrimination was one of its key points.
Over time, everyone's attitude naturally changed.
Currently, there were many Half-Orcs living in the Republic of Northwest. A few of them had moved here, but most of them were born and raised here.
Although in theory, the Republic of Northwest and the Orc Empire were neighbors, in reality, the two were separated by the world-famous dangerous "Gobi Desert." For ordinary Half-Orcs, this was really a natural moat. So over the years, although it could not be said that there were no Half-Orcs who had moved here from the Orc Empire, there were still very few. Now, the Half-Orcs in the Republic of Northwest had either moved here from the Commonwealth of Gold Coins in the south, or they were relatives and friends of those strong Half-Orcs.
Among them, even the relatively weaker ones had at least left their homes and wandered for a period of time. Their spirits were much stronger than those who had just left the Orc Empire. In addition, they had settled in the Republic for a long time and were influenced by the open-minded, friendly, and positive atmosphere here. Their mental outlook was completely different from those who had just arrived.
And the biggest difference was the new generation who had been born and raised in the Republic.
These Half-Orcs had never received any education that "only believing in the creator is true happiness," nor had they been discriminated against. On the contrary, because of their respective bloodlines, they often had advantages in certain aspects of their bodies. They were either tall and strong, or agile and fast. Among their peers, they were very outstanding. Therefore, they were full of confidence and filled with a happy and positive atmosphere. It was as if they were in a state of high morale.
When they stood together with those who had recently moved here, although they looked similar, there was a world of difference in their temperament. They were simply two completely different races.
"It's only been a few decades, and we've already achieved such results." Sui Xiong was invisible in the air. Looking at these two completely different kinds of Half-Orcs, he could not help but smile. His heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
