The Record of Orc Civilization

All the monsters arrived in the middle of the camp surrounding Moku's seat on the podium. It's not that Moku doesn't want to sit next to them but with his higher seat, all the monsters can see his face.

Moku understands that he is no longer just a leader of this monster caravan but also a symbol and emblem for them. With Moku the monsters can sleep peacefully in their carriages in the middle of the pitch-black night. With Moku, the monsters can joke around and feel warm in the midst of increasingly cold air temperatures.

Moku saw a horde of monsters consisting of several races walking toward him. Unlike before when he gathered them on top of Green Caping Hill, the monsters had no longer departed from their respective residences with their races but now they were walking together with their new families.

A goblin boy was seen playing with a small alraune with a young Sylph perched on his shoulder. There was no longer any fear in their eyes when they saw monsters from other races.

Moku smiled seeing that the family policy he built could fulfill its goals. Even so, as the largest number of monster races, the goblin race still looks more conspicuous than other races. Even if they left with their respective families when they gathered, they would inevitably swarm with other goblins.

For a leader, the number of one kind of group that is too many was considered a bother because they will easily be united in a group that has the same idealism. If these ideals are in tandem with the ideals of leaders, a nation will become united, but if their ideals are different from those of the leaders, there will only needs to be a few sparks for civil war to occur.

That's why what Moku will do after this is make the goblins into castes.

The crowd of goblins that had gathered suddenly opened a path for someone. From the top of his seat, Moku saw a line of goblins that split like Moses's sea.

Walked an old goblin with wrinkles all over his face. His rotting wand struggled to support his frail body. Every step he took felt very heavy and made his knees tremble.

Even so, Hoddurt still stepped towards the podium where Moku was sitting.

The goblins around him tried to get close to Hoddurt to help him but every time they got close, Hoddurt would yell at them to get away.

"Get out of the way all of you! You think I'm paralyzed so I can't walk on my own! Get out of the way all of you!"

​ The goblins who wanted to help him were forced to stay away. They stared at Hoddurt's back with pride and respect.

Maybe the other monsters or even the goblins themselves didn't understand what Hoddurt meant to the goblins, but Moku did.

Hoddurt is the symbol of the goblin race. As long as Hoddurt is still around, the goblin race will still be able to unite. Even though Moku tries to separate them into mixed-race families, with one Hoddurt's word all the goblins will gather and forget their new family.

After the war against the five mages, it wasn't just the orcs who had the idol position in the eyes of the goblins but Hoddurt as well. He valiantly fought on the front lines and sacrificed his age to save the wounded goblins. As a result, Hoddurt became a hero in the eyes of the goblins.

Luckily Moku immediately made him a hero for all monsters, not just goblins. That way he could both exalt Hoddurt's title and lower his achievements at the same time.

If Hoddurt only became the hero of the goblins then he would be someone who has the highest achievement among the goblin race as well as someone who has sacrificed a lot for the goblin race. This can make the goblin race even more dependent on him.

However, when Moku makes Hoddurt a hero of monsters, even though he elevates Hoddurt's title, the achievements and sacrifices he makes will be reduced in the eyes of the goblins. Because in the war it was not only Hoddurt who sacrificed but also the hero of the sylph, the hero of alraune, and the hero of orcs.

That's why Moku asked and tested someone who had intelligence beyond all goblins and also someone who had definitely sniffed Moku's true intentions. That someone is Ez.

Moku waited for Hoddurt until he was halfway to the podium then he stood up from his chair and walked over to Hoddurt. What's the reason why Moku needs to wait to do it? Of course, so that he doesn't look like he's elevating Hoddurt's position more than his position as a leader.

Just like Ez said: as a leader what you need to worry about is not whether your appreciation is enough but what you must consider is, whether you have given "the right" appreciation or not.

If he had immediately greeted Hoddurt while he was still at the end of the crowd, then Moku would have looked like he was welcoming his boss. However, if he let Hoddurt trudge through more than half the crowd of monsters before greeting him, then Moku would look like a leader rewarding his hard-working subordinates by welcoming him.

"Hoddurt! You don't need to come here, you have to think about your health first. Let young goblins like Tam or Volx take your place" said Moku in a soft voice.

"Ku, this is a historic event that will be remembered by generations of monster species. Even if I have to destroy this old body I will still creep to come to this place. I want to see with my own eyes how you fulfill your promise" said Hoddurt winded.

"Hoddurt... Then let me help you to sit in your chair" said Moku in a touched-voice.

Hoddurt hesitated to do so he looked around him and saw the worried faces of the goblins. He saw Moku's eyes and also saw the anxiety in them. He gave up and nodded accepting Moku's offer.

Moku hugged Hoddurt's small body tightly and jumped smoothly until they reached the podium. Moku immediately sat Hoddurt in his chair.

Hoddurt adjusted his clothes and he looked up to see Joc handing him a fleece blanket. "Shaman, wear this, it's very cold, Moku is worried that your condition is getting worse and he prepared this blanket if you decide to come." said Joc as his arms covered Hoddurt with the fleece blanket without waiting for Hoddurt to object.

Hoddurt could only accept Moku's kindness and nodded toward him. Moku also nodded in response.

Moku saw that all the monsters higher up had arrived. His three wives, Ornel, and Hoddurt were already sitting on the podium. It was time for him to start today's meeting.

Moku opened his arms wide and connected his telepathy to all the monsters. "My Brothers and Sisters of Monsters!" he said in a cheerful voice.

"Praise and gratitude we give to The One who has given us grace so that we can gather in this place. Praise and gratitude we give to The One for creating a paradise where we can fight to our heart's content. Praise and gratitude we give to The One who has allowed us to fight with the strong enemies." as usual Moku started with three praise to The One.

"Earlier I had fulfilled my promise to the orcs to return the girls other than Nevare who had become our Progenitor Queen to the tribe.

Today I will fulfill my promise to create another race of monsters to evolve into a new race, a new being, with a new future.

But as you guys understand, power is not something that can be easily possessed! It takes sacrifice, dedication, and a strong desire to get it!

You can see how the orcs train only to qualify to become stronger and evolve. That's why I want those who get this opportunity to just focus on becoming stronger and not be distracted by anything else.

You may also know that to be able to open the evolution gate, the orcs have to pay with their sin, the sin of sloth. For example, I am no longer able to rest and enjoy peace in life until the end of my life! Even so, I still don't regret getting stronger! Because in this cruel world there is only one law, the strong is the power! And we monsters know that well and we enjoy the law! Am I right?"

"Yeeeaaaahhhh!!!!" all the monsters especially the orcs scream top of their lung.

"Therefore this power should not be possessed by the weak! I will appoint my two intermediaries who will select the goblins and sylphs who will have the right to obtain the qualifications to acquire this power." Moku looked into the crowd of goblins and found his target.

"Tam, come forward!" Moku beckoned her.

"Nerphyl, my dear, please come close!" Moku asks Nerphyl.

Nerphyl and Tam's faces were full of anticipation, especially Tam who was surprised that she was chosen, she thought that Moku would choose Hoddurt who was next to him. But maybe Moku thought about Hoddurt's health and wanted him to rest more and leave this matter to the younger ones.

"I will show you the way to unleash your race seal and evolve. Please choose the right person to walk together with you on the path of power!" Moku said it with all seriousness.

Then he stuck the Vitamin Possession Art ring to Nephryl's forehead and Mana Cream Cultivation ring to Tam's forehead.
