âThis will really be fine, right?â
At Galeâs question, Kennis put on an awkward smile.
âWonât it be?â
But it was a voice without confidence.
Gale, Kennis and the troop adjutants stood in one place and looked at the soldiers.
âThis goes there! Thatâs over here!â
âDonât stick them together!â
âIt has to look natural!â
The soldiers moved between Midis village and the plains busily.
Gale forced a smile and looked at the youth giving the orders between the soldiers.
âRight. As the strategy was set up by Roan, there wonât be any problems.â
On the armor the soldier with the childish face was wearing, there was a badge symbolizing a class 5 adjutant. It was Roan.
Then, Roan shook off the dirt in his hands and approached.
âItâs time Violinâs troop came.â
At those words, Gale and the other adjutants nodded.
âWe couldnât even set up a formation properly.â
They couldnât even set up a common wooden fence.
Because they didnât have the time to do so.
âI wondered just what kind of bullsheet it was to raise a fortress in this situation.â
Gale smiled bitterly.
âEven so, we finished the preparations according to Roanâs strategy.â
If Violinâs troop fell on their trap, he could ascertain victory.
But what if the results werenât good?
âThereâs a high possibility they will attack Beno castle.â
Gale ground his teeth.
âWe will certainly win.â
When he got a new resolution.
âEach troop and squads will have to move to their appointed places.â
Roanâs calm voice.
Gale nodded and looked to his right.
He could see Jefferson leading BlackBird troop that was part of their corps.
âThen, we will be moving.â
He slightly nodded and moved.
Gale and the rose troop had the commanding rights for this battle.
Jefferson could only move according to their strategies and commands.
âWe are moving! Everyone to your appointed places!â
At his orders, BlackBirdâs adjutants quickly ordered the soldiers.
âWe are also moving!â
Continued by that, Gale let out the order.
Soon the cavalry, archers, swordsmen, etc. started to move towards Riten forest and Flam mountain gorge.
Rose troop and BlackBird troop.
The combined number of the two troops was 2,500.
They had at least 500 more than Violin.
âAlthough it isnât that we will certainly win because we have more numbers.â
Roan smacked his lips and looked back.
Only the spearmen remained on the field.
Roan raised his spear and yelled.
âIt wonât be an easy battle! Butâ¦â¦â
A loud voice.
âWe will win! Letâs show the orc bastards the power of humans!â
Right after he finished saying that, the spearmen raised their spears high and stamped it on the ground.
Bang!
A tremble and a heavy sound was heard below their feet.
The faces of the soldiers turned red.
A confidence they could win and that they would certainly win showed on their faces.
âWe will win. Certainly.â
Even for Roan, this battle held quite some meaning.
He faced through many battles since he returned to the past. But those were all battles he had been through in his past life.
Similar or the same.
Even so, they were battles he certainly had experience in or knew about.
But this battle was one that didnât even happen in his past life.
Even Roan couldnât know how the results would turn out.
âI tied all the effective strategies in one place.â
He mixed all the best strategies according to this situation in one place.
âI have to win.â
Roan bit his lower lip.
It wasnât a battle he knew the future of.
The first battle he would face simply with his skills.
If he just attained victory on this battle, he would be able to get an incredible amount of experience and confidence.
Roanâs eyes shone.
âCome you crazy female orc warrior!
His chest beat roughly.
He clenched his fists tightly.
âI will send you next to the husband you love so much.â
The west wind blew again.
A killing intent was felt in the warm wind.
*****
A blade made by polishing animal bones.
The sharp and gray tip of the blade slashed through the arm.
Slash.
The flesh split and red blood flowed.
âHrm.â
The owner of the arm licked the wound with the long tongue.
The blood soon stopped and only a wound remained.
A bloody wound.
Next to that, various additional wounds could be seen.
âDonât forget this pain. Before getting revenge for my husband, I have to suffer and feel pain.â
Eyes filled with madness.
Gray skin, rough and crumbly black hair, and the four canine teeth that sprouted over her mouth.
She put back the knife on her waist and stood up.
A body so big you wouldnât be able to say that she was a female.
Adding to that, the arms and legs that sprout out of the armor were covered in muscles.
A look that made you understand how the capable orc soldier Sedek gave her his crotch.
Then, a heavy low voice was heard behind her.
âTroop commander Violin. We finished preparations to move.â
The owner of the voice was Kurk who served Violin nearby.
âYou gave plenty of water to the lopuses, right?â
âYes. We also gave them hog meat.â
At those words Violin nodded.
âThere are no human troops in Slen region.â
Murderous intent could be felt in her voice.
âUntil now we moved while evading the eyes of the human bastards. But starting from now, thereâs no need to do so. We will charge through without stop. We will crush everything that blocks us and set it on fire. We will make an attack on Beno castle before they can finish their preparations!â
A blue fire appeared in her black eyes.
âCarve the eyes of rose troop soldiers and after you cut off their tongues rip off their limbs. Andâ¦â¦â¦â
Violin clenched her two fists.
âI will certainly take care of that bastard called Roan.â
At those words Kurk bent his head.
âYes. I will pass it down like that!â
A really concentrated look.
âAfter Sedek passed away, her temperament became fiercer.â
If you did something wrong, you could have your head cut off in that instant.
After a while, Violinâs troop finished preparations and charged towards Beno castle.
Kaang! Kaang!
The cries of the lopuses hit the skies and the earth.
But Violinâs troop that ran without stop, could only stop at the entrance of Slen region.
âHuh?â
Violin, that was leading the troop in the front, frowned. An unexpected scenery spread before her eyes.
âHuman?â
Starting from Flam mountainâs border and the spread Riten forest.
In the entrance of Riten forest, human soldiers were moving hurriedly.
âThere are human soldiers here?â
An unexpected situation.
Violin called Kurk with a gesture of her hands.
âIt seems like our movements got leaked.â
âEven so, there are only tens of them.â
Kurk glared at Riten forest with fierce eyes.
âJust in case, take some guys and go over there.â
âYes. Understood.â
Kurk hurriedly replied and took 500 orc soldiers and went towards Riten forest.
Until then the human soldiers seemed not to have noticed Violinâs troop, but they were still moving logs here and there.
Dudududu.
As the lopuses charged roughly, the ground trembled.
âHuh?â
âWhatâs this?â
The soldiers looked at the direction the sound was heard while still lifting the logs.
And then, their eyes got big.
âHuk! Damn! The bastards are already here!â
âFlee!â
âFlee!â
They got scared and started to run towards the forest while throwing the logs.
A look of fearing for their lives.
âHmph! Cowards!â
Kurk looked at that and gripped the reins strongly.
He was planning to get in there in an instant and crush their heads.
Then, the lopus that Kurk was riding, started to shake its head to the sides roughly and let out a cry.
Kuaang! Kuaang!
Unpleasant movements and cries.
Kurk immediately pulled the reins and stopped the lopus.
The 500 orcs that were following from behind also lowered the speed and stood next to kukr.
Kng! Kng! Kng!
The lopuses all started to smell the ground at the same time as if they had agreed to beforehand.
Kurk frowned and made hand signs.
âSomethingâs not right. Check the logs the humans threw.â
âYes.â
Some young orcs replied loudly and ran towards a log.
Crash.
As they crushed the log with a hand axe, a sickening smell was felt.
They frowned and yelled towards Kurk.
âThe thing inside the log is oil!â
âThereâs not only on the logs, but there is also a lot on the ground and on the grass!â
The orcs pulled out some grass with their hands.
Sticky oil got on their hands.
âNasty human bastards. So they wanted to attack with fire.â
Bloodlust appeared in Kurkâs eyes.
Meanwhile, Violin arrived while leading the main troop.
âWhat happened?â
At the short question, Kurk smiled coldly and replied.
âIt seems like information got into the hands of the human bastards. They were spreading oil in Riten forest.â
âOil?â
Violin frowned and looked towards Riten forest.
Kurk continued saying.
âBut it seems that our speed was faster than what they had thought. They couldnât finish spreading all the oil and they fled. Hahaha!â
A magnanimous laughter.
He really seemed like he was having fun.
âLooking that the human bastards are trembling I really feel good.â
In the other hand, Violin that was known to be hot tempered was rather calm.
âIf they couldnât even finish this they wouldnât have been able to set up a formation.â
Kurk slowly nodded.
Violin opened her eyes sharply and said.
âWe are quickly moving towards Beno castle before the human bastards finish their preparations.â
âYes! Understood.â
Kurk replied in a loud voice and shook his hand towards the orcs.
The orcs that were stopped momentarily started to move towards Riten forest.
Then, Violinâs voice was heard.
âWait!â
At that instant, the orcs all stopped moving.
Violin glared at Riten forest that was silent and didnât seem like it had any humans in it.
âWe have never encountered a human army until now. Butâ¦â¦â¦â
Soldiers appeared on Slen region that originally didnât have a human troop.
âWhat if they escaping to the forest was a well made act?â
There may be some traps on Riten forest.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBut itâs true that they still havenât finished their preparations.â
Violin touched her canine tooth and shook her head.
There was no need to lower their speed while investigating the forest.
She had another choice.
âLetâs go to Flam mountain gorge instead of Riten forest.â
âYes? The human bastards havenât even finished spreading oil.â
Kurk shook his head as if he was complaining.
But Violin wasnât planning on changing her thoughts.
âYou donât know about that. That could have been a trap by itself. Even so, thereâs no need to take chances for nothing. We are going to Flam mountain gorge.â
âA gorge is a really good place for enemies to hide in ambush.â
Kurk said with a worried face.
But this time also Violin shook her head.
âAs the length of the gorge is short, even if they are lying in ambush it isnât that big of a problem. We will pass through it quickly.â
She raised her large blade to the sky.
âLetâs go! Our objective is Beno castle!â
âWaaaaaaa!â
The orcs all yelled in one voice and pulled the reins.
The heads of the lopuses that was looking at Riten forest turned to Flam mountain gorge.
Dudududu.
A sound shaking the ground.
Violinâs troop only left a dust cloud and disappeared in an instant.
Swish.
Then, the grass of Riten forest shaked and the soldiers that threw away the wooden logs appeared from it.
The guys that were pale and screaming even a while ago.
But now they were putting a faint smile.
âUntil now, is everything going according to our plans?â
At the words of one soldier, another one nodded.
âYes, until now everything is going according to what adjutant Roan said.â
At those words the soldiers all had amazed expressions.
âHeâs really an incredible person.â
âTo lead the more than 2000 orc troop with only tens of people to where he wants.â
âHeâs not someone that would end simply as a spearman.â
A surprise look could be seen on them.
Then, one soldier clapped his hands.
Clap!
âNow! Thereâs no time to be idling like this. Letâs pass to the next thing quickly!â
âRight! Letâs hurry.â
âHurry up!â
The soldiers nodded and started to move busily.
Roanâs plan still didnât end.
No, precisely speaking now was only the start.
End
