Day 21-30/Day 26/Sidestory: The Orc Leader's POV

undefined

'''【 POV: The Orc Leader 】 【 Time Axis: Day 26 】'''

Recently one of my subordinates have been hunted down. Life and death are normal cycles in this world. Even I don't know when I may die. However, as a cheif I can't just stay without doing anything when one of my subordinate lost his life.

Thinking like that, I ordered the miners to only move in groups when going to the mining site, I also patrolled around the mine with the warriors. However, that wasn't enough, the miners were hunted down yet again. This is annoying, it's quite frustrating.

Who is the enemy? Is it the [ Elves ]? No, we're not hostile against them, I did everything that I can to not get close to their living area. Although we don't have a friendly relationship, it's not hostile either. Why would they attack us without reason?

Then, is it Kobolds? No, it's not them either. If it's the Kobolds, then they will be able to kill the miners if they have numbers on their side. However, their numbers are not that high, so they know what will happen to them if they became hostile towards us. Did they get a powerful leader? If there was an individual that underwent [ Evolution (Rank Up) ] among them, then it's possible that they will have the courage to do so, but I can't be sure, I lack information.

Then, is it the humans? They come out from anywhere. If it is those lunatics who constantly slaughter each other without getting tired, if it is those greedy humans who love our meat, then it's even possible that they came to this forest just to get it. Especially, when considering that they see the elves as an object of lust, it's possible that when they entered the forest to kidnap some, they encountered the miners and killed them.

Hmm, there is not enough information. Isn't there something I can do about this situation? There is also the interactions we have outside of the great forest, so I don't want this issue to get anymore troublesome ... ....

As I was thinking about this, the orcs outside the mine suddenly became noisy. When I asked, "What is it!?" an underling responded "it's an enemy attack! Goblins are attacking!".

"What!? Goblins!? Don't be stupid, why wold the weak goblins attack us"

I asked back, but the battle has already begun. There is a considerable number of warriors, and the miners are also fighting using mining pickels. We have are using the pickels as minimum weapons, and we have strong physical bodies, so we have the advantage against them, but what I saw when I got outside was that the warriors who were the main force were tangled in something like spider threads. And a bizarre scene in which the warriors were getting stabbed by the goblins using primitive spears made by sticking a horn at the tip of a wooden stick.

The moment I saw it, I felt great anger that my head started boiled.

Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink!

I raised a roar, wielded my Halberd and threw the goblins away. After I threw away a few goblins, as expected someone stood in my way and took my next attack head on, it was a hobgoblin armed with a shield. Of course, I blew that hobgoblin away with the sheer difference in power. Even if he's armed, in the end he's just a mere hobgoblin, he's still a weakling in front of my power. I will turn these cheeky goblins into mincemeat!

While I was burning with anger like this, a black skin Hobgoblin came out. Clearly, this is the enemy's head. I can feel an intimidating air around him. This one is clearly abnormal, he seemed pretty strong. That is why I attacked first to raise my chance of winning, then my body got entangled with threads that came out from his fingertips. Bastard! You're the one who restricted the warriors?

I swung the Halberd to tear the threads off, but new threads to bind me were released continuously. Arrows stabbed my whole body, I felt intense pain and bled from the injuries.

The became situation hopeless. I gave instructions to my subordinates, but the situation of the war has already become beyond salvation. We will not be able to recover from this situation. However, as the chief I still have to fight to the end.

In the middle of my rampage, my heart was stabbed by black hobgoblin's estoc. I thought 'At least I'll...', then I reached out my hand, but it was shaken off easily. Is this the end?

My consciousness stopped at this moment.

· The orc leader was a competent chief but his opponent this time was in another league. · He was strong, and had wisdom, so if it was frontal fight the orcs would have won. · In terms of Level and affinity, the orc leader was an individual capable of undergoing [ Evolution (Rank Up) ].
