Chapter 48: Orcs
Swamp area
Cold Star
Han'e Star, just by hearing the name you can tell that this is a cold and frozen planet.
Han'e Star is bitterly cold year-round, covered in ice and snow, with an average temperature of -100 to -200 degrees Celsius. Daylight lasts only seven or eight hours each day, followed by endless darkness. Fortunately, interstellar humans are physically strong and can survive this harsh darkness.
However, although they can survive, they have to endure the icy and snowy climate and howling cold wind all year round, which is not pleasant.
The main population of Han'e Star is the orcs exiled by the Federation.
Speaking of the orcs, they are a branch of the human race.
When humans explored the universe and relied on various means to enhance their physical fitness, some of their ancestors successfully integrated the genes of the orcs, which is the origin of the "orcs".
Because the Orcs evolved from humans, they are also the earliest loyal allies of humans in exploring the universe and eliminating powerful enemies.
After the disintegration of the Human Alliance, the Orcs belonged to the federal government. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After only a few decades, the Orcs were completely driven out of the center of power by the Federation. In the end, all Orcs were deprived of their legal federal status and expelled from the federal star field.
As for the reason for the expulsion, the historical records are very vague. The general idea is that the orcs disobeyed the orders of the Elders Council and intended to rebel.
The expelled Orcs, without legal status and unacceptable to the Mingao Empire, were driven away and oppressed wherever they went. Even today, the Orcs remain at the bottom of interstellar society, having suffered exploitation and oppression for years.
Without legal status, some Orcs, in order to survive, wandered the Federation and the Empire, hiding their identities and working illegally. Many even sold themselves into slavery to survive. Others became interstellar pirates, wanderers, and mercenaries, living a life of constant danger.
The orcs of Han'e Star today are the descendants of the orcs who became interstellar pirates, wanderers, mercenaries...
Their ancestors were unwilling to succumb to their fate, unwilling to sell themselves into slavery and live in humiliation, so they headed to the most dangerous swamps in the interstellar space and engaged in various dark businesses, all for the sake of survival, for resistance, and for... revenge.
Finally, after more than a thousand years of hard work, the Orcs were able to grow and develop in the swamp, gaining their own territory and power...
There are three major forces in the swamp area today, which are controlled by three different races: the Yin family of the orcs, the Jing family of the humans, and the She family of the demons.
The human Jing family manages most of the casino business, the demon She family mainly operates the love industry and human trafficking, and the orc Yin family mainly operates the mission guesthouse.
Han'e Star is the base camp of the Orcs, whose chief family is the Yin family, which carries the mutant Shadow Phoenix gene.
Therefore, Han'e Star is also the base camp of the Yin family.
The new leader of the Swamp Orcs had been in power for only three years, but he had already achieved remarkable feats. He first suppressed resistance within his clan to secure his position as leader, then reorganized and fully assumed control of the Orcs. He then dismantled the various schemes of the Jing and She families, exponentially increasing the Orcs' influence within the Swamp. This shift in the three tribes' long-standing dominance in the Swamp was giving way to a lone dominant force.
However, this leader of the orcs is quite mysterious. He has never appeared in public, and the outside world does not even have a photo of him. They only know that his name is Yin Jiuyuan.
…
"Abyss" moved like a ghost, easily escaping the sight of all the secret guards sent by Huo Qi, and returned to Han'e Star without anyone noticing.
The orcs have been operating on Han'e Star for more than a thousand years and have already turned most of Han'e Star into a large-scale planetary base.
As soon as the "Abyss" mecha landed near the Han'e Star base, the base's protective shield opened automatically and the main gate opened instantly.
The orc soldiers emerged from the main gate, standing on either side. They respectfully raised their right hands, saluted the "Abyss," and shouted in unison: "Welcome back, Chief!!!"
