"Lord of the Rings: Ring of Power" Why are the orcs content to be Sauron's servant and work hard for him?
Episode 6 of "Lord of the Rings: Ring of Power", the war finally broke out, Adal lost the battle and won the strategy, the doomsday volcano erupted, and a new era of Sauron began.
Below I will share with you the characteristics, combat power and civilization of each race in "Lord of the Rings: Ring of Power". Today I will talk about orcs first.
Of course, in this era, the level of civilization of various races was not very high. Some were only replicated by their talents and the gifts of the gods. Their own creativity has not been fully utilized, but in terms of exploration.
First, Orc
The origin of Orcs, Tolkien Old Master did not fully explain it. Judging from the current situation, the more unified view is that it is the same as the elves.
When the elves woke up, Morgoth plundered some elves and tortured and corrupted them, causing them to twist into orcs.
The lifespan of orcs is limited, but because as the main combat race of Morgoth, it is difficult for most orcs to die, and the orcs themselves also recognize this fate.
When the elves become orcs, they still have gender differences, so they can reproduce naturally and eventually form a separate species.
But in the " Lord of the Rings " trilogy, Saruman also uses the industrial assembly line to create orcs. Since Saruman can do it, then Morgoth and Sauron can do it too.
Therefore, it can be concluded that there are at least three sources of orcs
1 is elves corruption;
2 is created by Morgoth and Sauron;
3 is created by Saruman.
But in "Lord of the Rings: Ring of Power", there is only the first and second source, and its population mainly relies on natural reproduction. This is also the eruption of Adal's doomsday volcanoes, so that orcs can also move normally during the day, making Modo a more stable living area for orcs.
From this point of view, it is quite appropriate for Adal to be called "father" by orcs, because even humans, the first home was given by their father and mother.
Due to distortion, the orcs become deformed, their agility is reduced, and they are afraid of the sun. However, as a combat race of Morgoth, they still have many advantages.
The first advantage is that it is ugly appearance. This is a disadvantage in flirting with girls in normal times, but it can play a psychological role in the battlefield. For new recruits who lack training or are just starting to go to the battlefield, they see an ugly monster rushing towards them with a big knife and screaming. I am afraid that half of them will be scared on the spot. Therefore, ugly and hideous face are also one of the advantages.
The second advantage is that it has greater strength and a sensitive sense of smell. All orcs are powerful, and ordinary humans will find it difficult to defeat them without combat experience and skills.
The third advantage is that pain is reduced and vitality is enhanced. This can be seen from the fact that the naughty child and his mother fought against an orc: despite repeated heavy damage, the orc did not lose its combat effectiveness until it was finally beheaded.
But the orcs' civilization is in a mess (in fact, the level of autonomous civilization of other races is not high at this time)
Strictly speaking, orcs have not yet formed their own civilization consciousness, and their survival significance is to exist as the combat race of Morgoth.
But for basic strategic needs, Morgoth still shared a little of his knowledge with the orcs.
This is mainly rough tactics, armor and weapons.
If the orcs get better command, they can use some rough tactics, but for this, the coordination of various battle formations and troops has not yet been formed in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
As for weapons, there are rough large scimitars, broadswords, various stick hammers, bows and arrows, etc. The explosives, crossbows, , cloud ladders, and trench tools, , have not appeared yet.
It can be said that this era is indeed very backward, but once a race masters some knowledge, the subsequent development is likely not to be transferred by the will of the Creator.
In the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, two orcs chat while standing guard, one of them said that they hoped to find a place where they could walk freely and rob at will to settle down.
This shows that the orcs' personal consciousness has begun to gradually awaken at this time. As long as they are not exterminated, under the catalysis of time, they still have the opportunity to establish their own civilization, tribe and even countries.
In the era of "Ring of Power", orcs were still dedicated to serving Mogoth or Sauron. The reason was very simple. This virtue became this kind of virtue and was regarded as a monster wherever they went. Only by serving Mogoth or Sauron could they get a place to rest.
Orcs are actually a very tragic race. I cut off his head with tears. Death is also a kind of relief, hahaha.
I am Thirteenth Brother, thank you for your attention
