Episode 132. I can’t help it if you don’t like it
“What is this?”
“Urkan! How dare you use magic!”
“If you do this, you can’t see!”
The panicked voices of the orcs came out from the pitch-black darkness.
While wandering around in the dust looking for the hidden Dark Elf, black darkness suddenly struck from all sides.
It is the specialty of the black sorcerer who came with them to cast such a thick darkness.
It seemed that he used magic to make sure he couldn’t defeat the Dark Elves.
“Urkan! this right now… Gagging!”
One of the orcs was about to attack again, but suddenly something cold and sharp pierced his throat.
“Kreur… Kaaagh!”
Unknowingly, having been penetrated in a vital part, he staggered with a bloody sound, then raised his head and roared wildly.
After the roar, he looked around with red eyes, but there was nothing to see in the dark.
“Kleuraak!”
humming! Booung-!
His patience reached his limit in a matter of seconds, and he soon began swinging his ax randomly in the direction he felt his presence.
blah blah!
It wasn’t long before there was a terrible noise of heads being slashed by blind axes.
“Aagh!”
The orc who fell with an ax hit on the head jumped up after a while and howled loudly.
Then, after looking around for a while, he swung his ax randomly like an orc who had beaten himself.
“What crazy! Dark Frenzy!”
“Some bastard made these guys like this… Whoops!”
“Get out of here! right now!”
“You have to be able to get out so you can get out!”
“Where should I go!”
“Why are you asking me… Wow!”
“Damn it! Live on your own!”
The Orcs, who lost their composure in an instant, started fighting among themselves, wandering around in the dark.
It is possible to identify friends and family even when caught in Dark Frenzy, but it was difficult to make an accurate judgment in a situation where they could not see their front.
[-Don’t let even one escape.]
Raven muttered quietly in the dark.
Darkness has been an old friend and companion to the Dark Elves.
In their eyes, they could see the orcs wielding their weapons in a haphazard way.
[-yes. Lord.]
The ghosts gathered around them answered in unison and disappeared.
They kept an eye on the dark and luckily chased and attacked the orc trying to escape to the edge of the night veil.
The orc caught in the ghost’s gaze died without even having time to activate Dark Frenzy.
[-Is this enough?]
After a while. As the chaos on the battlefield subsided, the sprites lifted the veil of night.
When the veil was lifted, the corpses of dozens of orcs who had died after a fierce battle were revealed.
“Keugh. Aww.”
The last orc who survived was seriously injured and swung an ax at the ghosts even while dying.
From noble mtl dot com
perok-
Raven rushed forward and thrust the sword between his forehead.
The last survivor trembled and fell helplessly, dropping the bloody axe.
[-Take care of the wounded.]
Raven said as he wiped the blood from his face.
Surprisingly, no ghosts died.
There were a few people who were seriously injured or whose life was in danger, but it seemed like they could be saved by taking them to the priests right away.
Koogoo Palace-
Just as he was about to return from the battlefield, a dull explosion sounded from a distance in the Great Forest, and he felt vibrations under his feet as if an earthquake had struck.
Raven and the ghosts stared in the direction where the sound came from, stiffened.
[-What are you doing? Go back and heal the wounded. I’ll figure it out.]
[-… … All right.]
The ghosts who stopped at Raven’s command hurriedly left the battlefield.
If everyone was fine, they would have just checked what it was, but now the priority was to save the wounded.
‘Come to think of it, I can’t see the shaman. Aaron too.’
Raven, who was looking over the fallen orcs, twitched her eyebrows.
When I first found it, the black guy and Aaron, who were obviously together, were nowhere to be seen.
Apparently, the recent explosion had something to do with them.
[-… … !]
Raven, who was looking in the direction from which the explosion came, felt a strong energy approaching from afar and hid in the shadows.
The energy that was quickly approaching as if it had wings disappeared like a charm when it came close.
‘I missed it.’
Raven looked around nervously.
widely-
The next moment, someone put a hand on her shoulder.
Raven swung his sword without looking.
Cadeuk!
However, her sword was helplessly caught in the hands of the mysterious man.
“… … you.”
Raven, who was burning with the will to kill and fighting spirit, made an absurd expression.
A familiar face could be seen through the gauntlet holding the blade.
“If you play the prank twice, I’ll catch you.”
Aaron, who lifted the black orc, said with a smile.
* * *
Aaron, who wiped out the Orc scout platoon after many twists and turns, went back to the main unit with Raven.
The injured Raven and the ghosts were immediately led to the priests, and Aaron hung the Dark Witcher on his shoulder from a high tree for all to see.
“Are you a real orc?”
“To think that the Orcs joined hands with the demons.”
“The savior said it was true.”
“How did you know that evil had arrived here?”
A murmur spread throughout the Legion upon seeing the Black Shaman’s corpse.
Up until now, the fact that I was just going to go to the holy war with the savior had boosted my morale, but seeing the enemy I had to fight with my own eyes changed my mindset.
“The legion is agitated.”
Landis, who was watching them, said worriedly.
Among the members of the legion, those who had fought orcs were few and far between.
Everyone had learned about this large race only from books and tactical manuals, and had virtually no practical knowledge.
“All human beings get scared when faced with the unfamiliar.”
Aaron said as if it was nothing.
It’s true that I was agitated at the sight of the Legion’s orcs, but that didn’t mean it was demoralizing.
“The solution to that is simple. You just have to make the unfamiliar things familiar.”
Saying that, he climbed the tree to which the oak was hung.
“uh? Isn’t that your savior?”
“Why did you go up there?”
The combat priests who discovered Aaron tilted their heads.
Aaron waited until the Legion’s attention focused on him, then drew his sword and pointed at the hanging orc.
“Listen up everyone! As you all know, this is an orc! They are the ones you have to fight!”
[Currently, 21,342 people are paying attention to you.]
[Charisma stats are fully displayed.]
[The leadership ability is displayed at its maximum.]
[The morale of all targets in the affected area rises to the maximum.]
As soon as I opened my mouth, a blue message appeared in front of my eyes.
Soon, the buzz that spread like a ripple died down as if it had never happened, and a burning fight against the orcs took its place.
Aaron watched their reaction for a while before continuing with a satisfied face.
“From now on, I will dig deep into the bones of who these orcs are!”
An impromptu tactical lecture on Orcs began.
* * *
“stop. Let’s camp here tonight.”
Three days after the first encounter with an orc.
The corps, which continued their forced march without rest, were finally ordered to rest.
“Are you ready for camp already?”
Rhaast tilted his head as he watched the combat priests release their warlords.
A few more hours to reach the final destination, but already camping.
Besides, it wasn’t lost yet, so I could move a little further if I wanted to.
“The Orcs’ scouting range is wider than I thought. We have to be careful because if we’re not careful, we could be attacked. This is war.”
Aaron said that and recalled the time he encountered the Orc platoon a few days ago.
Even then, they approached as if they had not been caught, but were ambushed and almost lost a large amount of ghosts, their main force.
“hmm. I hear and see.”
After hearing the explanation, Raast immediately nodded.
When they were traveling in groups of three or four like before, they were able to flexibly deal with a crisis, but such agility could not be expected from such a large army.
“Deniel. Shiffrin.”
Aaron unpacked his pack and called the high elves he had taken prisoner.
The two, who were under the strict surveillance of the Dark Elves, approached him with nervous faces.
[-What happened?]
Daniel asked bluntly.
Aaron looked at him crookedly and gripped the hilt.
“Do you want to keep speaking elven?”
The high elven society has a very solid education system, and from an early age they learn the languages of other races, including the common language.
Even so, the reason why they insisted on the Elvish language was that they considered all languages other than the Elvish language to be of a low level.
“… … What’s going on?”
Deniel flinched and reluctantly spoke again in the common language.
Aaron put down the hilt and handed them a map.
“Take this and return to Elrond. And if the orc siege collapses, tell them to release the veil for a while. so we can get inside.”
“… … Do you seriously think that will happen?”
“huh. You guys are in a position to borrow at least a cat’s hand. Even the queen will understand if you say you’re here to drive out the orcs.”
“Probably impossible.”
At the words that followed, Daniel shook his head.
Aaron frowned.
“why?”
“The orcs who besieged Elrond, your troops, and the strangers are all one thing. Even so, you can’t let strangers into the dangerous Elrond… … .”
“okay. okay.”
“… … ?”
Surprisingly, the two elves twitched their eyebrows when they saw Aaron giving up so easily.
Aaron paused for a moment before continuing.
“I can’t help it if you don’t like it. Then we’ll come back, kill your own people who invaded Black Citadel, and go to recapture Navik. Ah, come to think of it, it would be better to capture it. There are places in the Free Cities of the East that treat elves as slaves. Why don’t you make some money right now?”
He stroked his chin and muttered something to himself, then jumped up from his seat.
“Listen everyone! As of this time, the orc subjugation operation is canceled… … .”
“for a moment!”
“wait! stop! stop!”
Deniel and Shiffrin covered Aaron’s mouth with contemplative faces.
“cancellation… town! Why are they like this? cancellation… Ugh!”
Aaron, who was trying to continue talking, couldn’t overcome the flames of the two and kept his mouth shut.
Sureureung!
Sreung!
Raven and Rhaast, who were beside them, thrust their swords into their necks.
Aaron waved his hand away and stared at the elves.
“… … .”
The two slowly backed away, nervous that Aaron would shout again.
Aaron stayed still for a while, then jerked his head away in a playfulness.
“Drunk… Ugh!”
Before he could raise his voice, two pairs of hands first covered his mouth.
“okay. Got it.”
Aaron laughed and separated the two of them, then sat back down.
“Now, let me say it one last time. Return to Elrond and tell the queen. I will go to the point marked on the map and break the orc siege, so tell me to release the protective veil at the right time. can you?”
“I get it.”
“I’ll try.”
Deniel and Shiffrin nodded as if they had waited.
The queen hates strangers entering Elrond more than death, but, as Aaron said, she would of course accept the offer in the current situation where she would have to borrow at least a cat’s hand.
“good. Raven. Give them some ghosts. You can’t go the wrong way and die.”
“… … I will.”
Raven looked at the high elves with disapproval, then nodded reluctantly.
