The Record of Orc Civilization-Chapter 11 Hunting

Sixteen orcs crossed the thick bushes of the Bog forest.

Their green bodies look like they are mixed with parasitic plants clinging to the big trees in the Bog forest.

They walked slowly without leaving any traces on the damp ground.

Orcs don't wear footgear, their tough feet have evolved to have a fat pad that can cushion their stride.

Orcs don't wear armor, for them armor will only slow down their movement.

Only creatures with weak bodies and no regeneration abilities needed armor to protect their bodies.

They usually sleep on the ground and only bathe when it rains, making their smell blend in with their surroundings.

So that dangerous predators and mutated animals will have difficulty recognizing the smell of orcs.

Even so, the Bog forest was still quite a dangerous place for orcs.

Many plants and fungi can kill them just from the smoke wafting through the air or a small scratch on their body.

But the orcs' noses were able to distinguish between these odors and chose a safer route for them.

Because of that usually the orcs would hunt into the forest alone. Their large number can cause their body odor to be smelled by predatory animals.

The orcs' sense of smell is also disturbed by the body odors of other orcs around them, making it difficult for them to smell harmful plants or fungi.

Orcs usually hunt like tigers. They sneak up on their prey.

When their prey is in attack range, the orc will ambush and break the prey's neck.

This hunting technique is effective for solitary predator but not very effective for horde of 15 hungry orc.

Orcs need 7 kg of meat every day to function normally.

So usually they only needed one large game to satisfy the appetite of 16 orcs.

However the 15 orcs were currently very hungry.

Moku made them keep practicing until their bodies gave in and passed out. The ascetic technique that Moku taught was able to make their brain forget the fatigue of the body for a while.

However, when the orc's own strong body surrendered, causing them to experience paralysis which the brain only realized when their bodies lay stiffly on the ground.

The brain that feels cheated goes berserk and receives thousands of pain and fatigue from the muscles and nerves.

Overwhelming the brain with the body damage information it received and deciding to shut down the body's operations, the orcs fell unconscious.

Some of them had heart attacks which caused it to stop beating.

Moku didn't panic to see hordes of orcs dying, he had experienced this often.

The magical bodies of orcs will try to revive as long as their souls are still there. Or in medical science, a person will not be declared dead if the brain stem is not dead.

The orc is a bald green Wolverine.

Two hours later the orcs woke up hungry.

Moku didn't want the orcs to hunt individually. He wanted to establish the cooperation of the orcs in battle.

Hunting is a great exercise for sentient beings to regulate the performance of a group, they will quickly harmonize their movements and thoughts with each other.

Therefore to face the dangerous journey in the Bog forest, Moku formed a line of orcs just like a pack of wolves formed their ranks.

In a line of wolves, weak, old, and sick wolves were placed at the front.

These old and sick wolves can lag behind when the pack travels, so they are placed in the front row so the pack can adjust to their pace.

They also become the first shield in the event of an attack. So it can be said that the wolves in the front row are also used as bait for attacks.

But older wolves have a longer life experience so their knowledge can come in handy when detecting danger.

Moku puts Goku, Vakgar, and Zalthu in this position. Their large bodies and their hunting experience would be the first warning signals in the event of an attack.

Next are the strongest and best, they are tasked with protecting the front and rear of pack when there is an attack.

The wolves in the second line also help the first line to fight the enemy.

Moku puts Boku, Gul, Viggu, and Clog in this position. Their attack speed and instincts can help the first line and give the herd time to strategize.

The third row is the wolves that join them on their journey.

They contributed to the care of the wolf cubs while some of them hunted for food.

They are placed in the middle for a very logical reason, namely so that they are protected from various enemy threats.

Moku put the young orcs like Swa, Laya, Kagan, Mige, and Torgan in this position. Even though they had joined the hunt before but the cruel Bog forest was still quite dangerous for young inexperienced orcs.

In the fourth row, filled with wolves with the same abilities as the second position.

They protect their pack, especially for the young wolves who are on the journey.

Moku places Olru, Xago, and Yagnar. Even though they weren't as strong as Boku and the others, they were still mature orcs.

The last wolf is the leader. He made sure no one was left behind, and the group remained intact together.

Moku is certainly in this line. In contrast to wolves orcs can provide information through speech.

Moku makes sure they stay on the right track and no members are left behind.

The orcs continued to walk into the deeper parts of the forest. Gradually the trees began to decrease and the terrain was no longer bumpy.

In front of them was a wide meadow. Their pupils dilated, only the Wolf Slopes mountains could be seen in the distance as the boundary of this meadow.

Hundreds of herbivores seemed to be running merrily in the middle of the meadow.

Birds chirping in the sky.

The cool air continued to blow, parting the green grass until it swayed.

The clouds seemed to be moving and holding hands in the blue sky.

You can see the sparkle from the reflection of sunlight hitting the river water that flows in the middle of this vast meadow.

The orcs looked at this new area with interest.

Moku named this place Glittering Meadow.

When Moku first found it, he was confused because he didn't see the other carnivores on the hunt.

Here live herbivores such as deer, elephants, zebras, hippos, and bison.

In the absence of predatory threats and their abundant food, these animals reproduce rapidly. Herds of deer reach 100 tails with a body height of up to 2 meters.

Moku still doesn't know why there are no carnivores in this place.

Moku gathers hordes of orcs and starts discussing their hunting strategies.

For a successful hunt, Moku armed the orcs with Galah, Mace, Toya, and Spear. Even though they are not very good at using it, it is better to get used to it.

Moku plans to teach them how to use each weapon but it's better for them to be able to fully master one weapon than several weapons but with mediocre mastery.

Someone who uses 1 or 2 moves that are repeated over and over again has a greater chance of winning a fight, than those who have variations of the Move but are not yet proficient.

Therefore the strongest attack is the basic attack which is continuously trained to perfection.

Moku divided the orcs into five positions.

This division was not based on the military strategy that Moku had learned in his previous life.

Instead, he based it on basketball. This sport has a very high movement intensity, attack and defense can quickly change.

The position of basketball players is designed so that offense and defense tactics are balanced.

Some play a role in guarding the defense area, organizing attacks, until the attacker will put the ball into the opponent's basket.

The enemies of the orcs in this world were no ordinary human army. Rather superhuman with laser attacks. For this reason, the movement of attack and defense must be as flexible and as fast as possible.

The first time he watched a basketball game, Moku felt that this sport was quite easy, but when he tried to play he was like a chicken losing his head, running around chasing the ball aimlessly.

Moku also knows that this game puts forward the speed of changing positions and the ability of the team to work together.

If viewed from a large scale then 5 people in a team should have one thought, but if viewed on a small scale everyone in the team should do their job without mistakes.

There are five positions in basketball, namely Point Guard PG), Shooting Guard (SG), Small Forward (SF), Power Forward (PF), and Center (C).

Point Guards in basketball are often referred to as playmakers.

Because these players regulate the rhythm of the game and players who often provide assists or passes.

This position is usually occupied by players who are agile and good at reading the game on the field.

Moku put himself, Boku, Laya, and Mige in this position.

Their job is to carry out reconnaissance on prey positions and report them.

They are also tasked with monitoring hunting grounds and determining ambush locations.

When the hunt begins they must cooperate with the SG to lead the prey into the ambush location.

Shooting Guard in basketball is usually occupied by players who have good shooting skills. Because players in this position are tasked with shooting the ball from long distances.

Moku puts Viggu, Kagan, Swa and Torgan in this position.

They also work together with the PG to herd prey and make sure it doesn't get out of the ambush area.

They entered into the first team to attack together with PF. Their main task is to surprise the prey and make them run towards the ambush area.

Power Forward has the task of rebounding the ball or picking up the ball from the opponent's failed shot.

So usually this position is held by people with high jumps and large bodies for physical duels.

Moku places Zalthu, Clog, and Xago.

The main task of the PF is to lead prey into the ambush area. They had to keep up with the speed of SG and PG so that both teams would not be overwhelmed in herding their prey.

Small Forward, Players in this position are usually filled by players who have the ability to one-on-one with opposing players.

An SF must be able to break through defenses and make lay-ups or dunks and also shoot from a certain distance.

Moku put Yagnar and Olru in this position.

Moku orders them to dig a 'U' shaped trench as a prey trap.

Then on the outside it will also be fenced with pointed bamboo.

Their job is to work together with C to make an ambush.

Center, Players in this position usually dwell in the area of defense and attack.

In defense, this player must be able to secure the ring from close range shots by the enemy.

Meanwhile, when attacking this player must be able to see the position of his partner and provide feedback to various sides of the field because of his position in the middle.

Moku puts Goku, Gul and Vakgar in this position.

Their job is to ensure and defend the ambush area from the onslaught of pressed prey.

After explaining the position of each orc Moku started the hunt.

Glittering Meadow is still chilly during the day. The cold wind blew, making the hairs on the neck stand up from the cold.

Moku, Boku, Laya, and Mige walked sneakily to make sure their footsteps were not heard.

They found a herd of deer from a distance, their large numbers making their trail easy to find.

From the tracks on the moist ground they leave behind this herd of deer is 50 adult deer with 2 or 3 young deer in tow.

They moved closer to the water source, namely the river in the middle of Glittering Meadow.

Most likely this herd of deer just returned from eating the fruits in the forest.

Not long after, they found the herd of deer. They were relaxing drinking by the river.

No crocodiles or other predators were seen ambushing these deer from the river. Moku feels weird.

Moku gave the other orcs a signal to leave their location.

Moku wanted to quickly find the right area to be an ambush. They had to return to the tribe before sunset.

Moku and his team follow the tracks of a herd of deer to find places where the deer sleep and hide at night.

They also managed to find the right area for making an ambush.

This arena is located on a path that is usually traversed by a herd of deer. They can attack after a herd of deer comes home from drinking in the river.

The panicked herd of deer will run towards their usual path.

Moku ordered Boku and Laya to call Team C and Team SF to immediately build a protective trench in this place.

He and Mige would rush back to stake out prey and wait for the SG and PF squads to arrive.

When the sky began to turn red, the herd of deer seemed to start moving away from the river and back to their resting place.

Moku, who had been waiting for this, immediately gave the signal for the SG and PF teams to prepare to attack.

He and Mige along with Boku and Laya who had returned, walked ahead preparing to lead their prey into the trench.

When the herd of deer passed the positions of the SG and PF teams, Zalthu the PF team leader gave the signal to attack.

"FORWARD!!"

They threw spears and galah in their hands.

STABB! STABB! STABB!

Some of the deer were injured or killed, but many missed the mark due to the orcs being unfamiliar with their weapons.

The herd of deer were startled suddenly running in the opposite direction. Some of them tried to run away from the herd but were intercepted by the PG team.

Moku splits his team into two, him and Mige on the left and Boku and Laya on the right.

Together they managed to herd the deer so that no one ran out of line.

With the help of the SG team, the PG team managed to lead dozens of deer into the ambush area.

However, on the way, many of them managed to escape because the PF team was too fast to catch up, so that the PG and SG teams were overwhelmed.

A herd of frantic deer rushed into the trench the orcs had made.

Some of them were stabbed to death by pointed bamboo, some fell into the ditch, and some managed to jump but were stopped by the C and SF teams.

A struggle between deer and orc ensues.

The herd of deer that was pushed out began to attack with their antlers. Their massive bodies overwhelmed the orcs.

Their tough hooves and strong leg muscles send Yagnar flying when hit by a kick.

But he immediately got up and swung his club madly.

This also happened several times to other orcs.

The fight between orcs and deer was like the fight of two groups of brainless beasts.

Without any technique and just blindly swinging their weapons. At least the deer are more elegant with their headers and back kicks.

Moku comes and sees the fight between the monster and the beast. He sighed and stepped forward to join the battle.

Moku takes out his karambit and starts tearing the enemy apart. Every movement will cut off the blood and breathing pathways in the deer's neck.

The battle continued until the sun was about to set.

Moku caught his breath and looked at the state of the battle. The exhausted and starving orcs began to eat their prey without bothering to clean their wounds.

Orcs prefer raw meat. With the orcs' immune system, they don't have to be afraid of the bacteria in raw meat.

Moku who now had the body of an orc had the same appetite. He cut up the venison and ate it raw.

Since being born as an orc, Moku doesn't feel disgusted or nauseous when he eats raw meat. Even the blood from raw meat tasted like a delicious spice on Moku's tongue.

Orcs don't really care about cleanliness. Humans maintain cleanliness to avoid germs that enter their bodies.

These germs can make a weak human body sick. But these germs did not cause disease to the orcs.

The stuffed orcs started to feel sleepy. Today their bodies really felt like they were being forced to work to their limits.

But Moku didn't want the orcs to rest. He ordered them to gather all their remaining prey in one place.

Moku also ordered the PF team to retrieve the bodies of the deer they killed during the first attack.

When everything was gathered, Moku ordered the orcs to separate the skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs from the deer.

The technology of the orcs already understood how to use bones and stones as weapons, and animal skins and trees as clothing.

But they still don't understand how to preserved food. The orcs simply hunted and left the rest of their prey in the tent to eat again if hungry.

The orcs' strong immunity can kill the harmful bacteria in rotten meat, but rotten meat has fewer calories than fresh meat.

Bog forest has neither sea nor rock salt, but the Bog forest has many beehives that produce honey.

Bog Forest which is rich in plants and flowers makes it easy for bees to find food, shady trees can also be used as a place for them to make hives.

There are many trees near the Dawnmist Tribe where the bee make their hives. Moku often collect their honey and store it in a jug.

To the orcs the sting of the bees only felt like being tickled. Their poison that can make humans dying is just like the itching of a mosquito bite.

So that Moku doesn't destroy their hives and only takes some honey.

Moku also grow a lot of flowers that produce a lot of nectar around their nests. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

Currently the number of beehives and honey they produce can meet the needs of the Dawnmist Tribe.

They finished processing the venison just as the sun was about to set. Moku decided to finish the day's hunt and bring the orcs back to the tribe.

The Bog Forest at night is not only filled with thick fog but also powerful mutated animals.

Orcs overwhelmed with just a herd of deer would only be appetizers for these mutated animals.
