Chapter 112: Old Conspiracy
The three major factions in the Swamp are intertwined and intertwined, seemingly enemies rather than friends. Although the Swamp is vast, as a star region abandoned by interstellar humans, it is vast but barren.
The people of the Swamp rely almost entirely on the consumption of outsiders. Whether it's the Jing family's casino business, the She family's prostitution business, or the Orcs' questing business, almost 80% of their income comes from outsiders. And in the Swamp, conflicts and clashes between the three major factions, fighting for prime business territory, are almost commonplace.
In the years before the war between the Empire and the Federation, the two countries, in an effort to combat corruption within their territories, practically sealed off the routes to the swamp. During that time, the situation was tense, and the Jing and She families, whose fortunes had grown through gambling and the sex trade, saw their businesses virtually wiped out.
However, the mission business run by the Yin family of the orc tribe was not affected for some reasons, and its business became even better.
The continuous influx of wealth into the Yin family made the other two families jealous, and the Yin family used most of the accumulated wealth for military expenses, which made the army of the swamp orcs increasingly powerful.
After a few years, the Yin family had become the only dominant family in the swamp area in terms of both wealth and strength.
This created an unprecedented sense of crisis for both the Jing and She families. They panicked. The Swamp Region had always been a three-way scramble, and they could not tolerate the Yin family's dominance. Sensing their position was threatened, the two families secretly formed an alliance to counter the Yin family, formulating the "Reset Plan" to covertly target the Yin family.
The ultimate goal of this plan is to destroy the Yin family, thereby disintegrating the power of the orcs in the swamp and dividing up the Yin family's wealth.
Although the Yin family was powerful at the time, it had a fatal flaw: its large size and disunity. The Yin family had many branches, and the old patriarch, Yin Zhong, had many descendants. The family was not united. Yin Zhong was already old, and the next patriarch had yet to be chosen...
The Jing and She families took advantage of this and formulated the so-called "zero-return" plan, arranging carefully trained spies to be inserted into various branches of the Yin family, secretly intensifying the internal conflicts within the Yin family.
The plans of the two families were undoubtedly successful. Even though Yin Zhong left behind a will that Yin Mo, Yin Jiuyuan's father, would inherit the position of head of the family before he passed away, the Yin family was inevitably plunged into internal strife.
Although Yin Mo was Yin Zhong's legitimate son, the orcs' rule was that the strongest reigned supreme. Being weak and soft-hearted, and lacking the ruthless power to control the chaotic situation within the Yin family, Yin Mo was naturally unable to control it. In fact, despite having become the nominal head of the family, Yin Mo was not only unable to stabilize the situation, but ultimately, his position as head of the family cost him and his wife their lives.
After Yin Mo's death, the Yin family members switched from fighting secretly to fighting openly. In addition, the Jing family and the She family were secretly fighting each other. The Yin family's population decreased sharply during those years because of the fighting. The orcs they controlled were also divided into several camps, and internal fighting continued.
Due to the long period of internal strife, the wealth accumulated by the Yin family was almost exhausted, the number of troops was sharply reduced, the management of the missions became increasingly chaotic, and the business gradually declined. In just a few years, the Yin family's previous advantages were almost exhausted.
However, just as the plans of the Jing and She families were about to come to an end, the heads of the two families were secretly rubbing their hands, ready to wait a little longer, waiting for the Yin family to fight for a while so that they could easily take over the Yin family's power. At this time, Yin Mo's son, Yin Jiuyuan, who had always been tepid and had no sense of existence, suddenly appeared. Like a killing god, he killed the few remaining members of the Yin family with absolutely tyrannical means and became the leader of the orcs himself.
In just two months, he reorganized the power of the swamp orcs, subdued the army, and took full control of all the operations of the Yin family.
Unlike his father Yin Mo who was weak and soft-hearted, Yin Jiuyuan was tough, or even ruthless.
They have almost no regard for blood ties. No matter who the opponents are, they will be killed. Anyone who disobeys will be beheaded.
No nonsense, if you don't obey, you will die.
So much so that in the two months when Yin Jiuyuan took over the Yin family and the entire orc tribe in the swamp, more opponents died at his hands than those who died in the fighting over the past few years.
In the square, on the altar, in the long streets of the base, in the barracks... rivers of blood flowed, the air filled with gore. Every scene was undoubtedly a nightmare. But when the surrendered orcs recalled it later, they only remembered those cold golden eyes that made them tremble with fear, daring them to dare not even a hint of resistance, and that strong, confident, and calm figure, standing tall and straight.
The Orcs believed in the strong. During those bloody days, they discovered that the frail former leader's low-key, almost invisible son was actually gifted with immense power, almost approaching the top 5S. In just two months, he was unrivaled in the military, conquering the army. He took over the base, carried out the mission, and killed all who dared to oppose him...
Young, powerful, strategic, and ruthless, this young Orc leader, with his domineering demeanor, has given the Orcs, mired in internal strife, a new lease of life. He has become an idol to almost every Orc.
Everything about him met the standards of a perfect leader in the eyes of all orcs. However, no one is perfect, and the only thing that caused the outside world to criticize Yin Jiuyuan was that he was indifferent to family ties and cold-blooded. This was naturally due to the fact that he killed almost all the members of the Yin clan before and after he came to power.
Fortunately, Yin Jiuyuan had a half-sister, Yin Shiwei. He treated this sister very well. At least she was not killed by him like other members of the Yin clan, right?
Yin Shiwei's presence was a comfort to the orcs of the Swamp. Their leader was their perfect idol. Although he was ruthless, he wasn't as cold-blooded and ruthless as the outside world claimed. He was actually quite kind to his sister.
Therefore, due to the orcs' subtle psychology that "their leader is perfect", Yin Shiwei, the only member of the Yin family besides Yin Jiuyuan, has become more and more prestigious. There is almost no need for deliberate publicity, as everyone in the swamp knows that the orc leader has a gentle, kind, beautiful and intelligent sister.
With the neutralization of Yin Shiwei's kind and gentle image, Yin Jiuyuan's image has also become much calmer. At least he is no longer called the "God of Killing" by the outside world as he was at the beginning.
Because of these subtle factors, Yin Shiwei was quite popular among the orcs. Everyone believed that the leader had become more peaceful because of this sister.
In fact, it is true that over the years, Yin Jiuyuan has completely controlled the entire orc tribe. No one dares to rebel. Almost all of the Yin family members have been killed by him. Who would rush to seek death? Yin Jiuyuan is not a "tyrant", so he will not kill people for no reason.
The sudden appearance of Yin Jiuyuan almost completely destroyed the "zero return" plan of the Jing and She families. With almost all the members of the Yin family dead, the spies they had planted were also lost. Naturally, the two families were unwilling to see their plans fail.
A "hidden chess piece" that the She family had planted years ago gradually grew into a chess piece, but this chess piece did not know that it was a "chess piece". After the two families made a plan, Jing Li became "Lin Rui"...
