“You will be swapping the souls?”
“Yes Maal explained to me that the soul of the human, whose heart I stab, will ascend to the heavens The soul of the Orc in the divine object will be able to take control of the body of the human”
A cold drop of sweat dripped down from Luke’s brow
“Truly… How does a God gift an Orc with such a cursed sword?”
Luke’s face turned cold
“I don’t knohy you have told me this secret, but you will suffer for it If I escape, and I’ll try by all means, I will tell the world of your secrets”
“…”
“Even if you take over a human body, you think you could fit into the world of humans? Impossible”
Surprisingly, Kurotan seeree with Luke
“Your words ring true We, who have lived as Orcs, will not be able to live as humans just because we are in a human body”
“Then give up It is a useless effort”
Luke tried to continue talking, but Kurotan’s next words shut him up
“That is e kidnapped you”
“Th-that’s why I was kidnapped?!”
“Kueeek, correct After long deliberation, we decided that to live as humans, ould need the help of a human”
Luke sly at Kurotan
“The help of a human… You think a human exists that would help you?”
“…”
“If you kidnappederror”
Luke steeled himself and opened up his chest
“I will not help you Even if you kill me”
Kurotan stared hard at Luke and asked
“Why do you hate us so much?”
“Why, you ask? How many soldiers under uards that you massacred when you kidnapped me all had lives”
“Kueeek, our warriors have also died at the hands of humans”
A single hule orc stared each other down
Luke was the first to turn away
Truthfully, it was the Hansel Kingdo out the Latilla Tribe, ere originally peaceful towards the Kingdom
“Ok, Kurotan It is of no help to anyone to play the blaame at this moment But why me?”
“What do you mean? Kueeek”
“There are many humans out there What made you sure that I would help you?”
“We were not”
“Then why did you choose s, it seemed you first confir up the ambush?”
“You are correct We had elite scouts watching your movements”
Kurotan took a deep breath before explaining
“To tell you the truth, we have been watching you for a long time”
Luke’s face contorted in confusion Even as a commander, he was not that special
“Fronificent commander”
Kurotan’s words left hiht that he was not cut out for the position of a commander
“Me, a ht person?”
“Yes”
Kurotan pointed his finger at Luke’s eyes and hair
“We remember your face Not just me, but most of the warriors of our tribe admit the superiority of your prowess”
“Kurotan, I don’t knohat you’re thinking but you have the wrong person”
Luke calmed himself down and stared Kurotan in the eyes
“If you are a commander, you are not supposed to blink at the e, break and annihilate the eneood coood commander”
Luke strongly rebuked Kurotan’s view of him
For Luke, who had been forced upon the position of coest priority was to return safely without any injuries
Whether by coincidence or not, all the soldiers under his coly as well Unlike the elite troops that received wages or thewas allowed, drafted soldiers only wished to return home safely
Because they understood each other, Luke and his troops had set survival as their top priority
If possible, they would not undertake any dangerousto perfor the survival of his soldiers Luke did not care whether or not his superiors viewed him with favor
Luke’s hundredtroops of Fort Potellan Not that it was honorable
“In other words, you guys messed up”
“The capacity of a coed by the enemy The area defended by your troops were truly impenetrable”
“…”
“Your troops never once fell for our battle tactics of ‘retreat and surround’”
“Those were battle tactics?”
Luke clicked his tongue in disbelief
Chasing down and exterroups of Orcs that would assault the wooden defense lines could render ht, but Luke had never once participated Rather than merits, the lives of his soldiers were more valuable to him
“That’s because… Merits hold no value to…”
