Chapter 8 : Orc Wars
”Chwiik!”
After turning into an Orc, Weed had been thinking a lot
'What should I do to befriend the like a hu a way to approach to a co into a hard task for hi with the Orcs, but he was still unable to gain any real friends a his new kin and start to take them for what the are To treat them as if they were huht that it would be extre with them some more, he realized:
'Oh, it's so familiar'
Weed quickly befriended everyone in his party
Orcs! They weren't that different fro was not to their liking, they were i out their weapons! Reckless: they were attacking even the stronger opponents without a second thought! Their fists acted faster than their words, about 3-4 times faster
”Catch, this is for ya Chwiik!”
Weed cooked the food and handed it out to everyone in his party Orcs were so undiscri
But even after accepting the in with this new environment Same as humans, their society also had their own rules and hierarchy
Regular Orcs, Orc warriors and scouts were at the lowest level of social ladder in Yurokin reatest numbers, but were just subordinates to other Orcs
Co them were Orc champions, captains, elders and chieftains
Captains were coroups of about hundred Orcs each Elders ruled villages Chieftains ruled andof several settlements
And Weed was really hated by everyone above him at the coe Chwiik!”
They were questioning his origins
”He eats less, than we do Cwik!”
Co Cwiiit!”
Envied his appearance
”Chik! Females should be protected!”
After all, all the problems were because of the women!
Orcs were jealous and envious of Weed because of female attention
”Ah, chwi! Even after I became an Orc, chwiik! The world won't just leave me alone!”
Weed es thrown at hi hiuys are envied everywhere'
He decided that the problehtlessly sculptured, while being a hu would be to start co fery at him as well
”Chwiik! I don't like those females All of you, just take them away Chwiik!”
And after he proclaiot even more offended
”Chwik He's too full of himself”
”Insolent bastard! Chit!”
”Let's banish hiry locals took a long time to settle down
And while many in the settleular Orcs who acknowledged him
”He's from the winners caste! Chwiiit! This Orc deserves respect Chwiik!”
”Chwichichiiit! Good fighter!”
”Cunning, chwiik He would survive anywhere”
Weed often fought and went to hunt By order of the village elder, for the sake of peace and develop party was formed and of course Weed was always present
”Cwiik!”
It usually consisted of Orc warriors and ordinary Orcs Usually they fought against huge Minotaurs! Monsters around level 300
Weed tightened his grip on the glaive
'Precious experience points!'
Minotaurs dual wielded blood-red axes and had th and Dexterity, compared to other ame who hunted them Besides, they usually lived in places where players were rare
But Weed loved to fight against monsters of all sorts
Like a reeted any monster
Experience points - additional power!
Iteth, rewards increased; and with additional loot, his future inco his own values and concepts
”Moo! Dirty Orcs!”
Minotaur wasn't even slightly afraid of his opponents
Regular Orcs were level 120 and Orc-warriors 210 And all of the from the enemy
”Moo! Kill you all!”
Minotaur started to gain speed He charged, swinging two huge axes The Orcs in front of him didn't seem like worthy opponents
”Chwii-i-ik!”
Weed jumped forward His enorht next to the Minotaur
”Chwiik! I' into an Orc, his Wisdoth and Dexterity were boosted considerably That's why he started to use regular attack instead of techniques that consumed loads of mana, which he was now short on
”Chwi-i-ik!”
Minotaur hit with an axe what seelaive A loud ringing echoed around from collided weapons
Opponents stood in front of each other
Sword and glaive are somewhat similar, but there are also a lot of differences Glaive is wider and heavier, so it takes soeneral, it is a slower, but destructive weapon
Ding! Ka-Clang!
Each ti and sparks With each hit deflected by glaive, Minotaur was forced to step back, and it was enraging hilaive would've shattered a long tirinded and polished it to extreth to his fellow Orcs
”Chwiiik!”
Minotaur finally grew frightened
The wave of Orcs advanced fast! Hundreds or Orcs with glaives in hands run up and began to slash at the monster Some of them died from Minotaur's attacks, but in return he also received many wounds from which he finally died
As it is said, ”you can not block ten hands with a single one” In that exactthe battles, due to their nuan
Hundreds of Orcs with glaives hunted huge er Because survivors gained new levels, the overall strength of the party kept growing
Orcs survived despite being constantly threatened by erous monsters They survived thanks to their fertility Soer, and to their aid ca all this, Weed made sure that none of his friends died He repaired their weapons, prepared food and bandaged the hunt continued!
Many si lands slaying any monsters they met Orc didn't possess any special techniques or other secrets, they just overwhelmed their eneh, then a hundred will come; and even if they die, even erous battles, ather around Weed
”Chit, ignorant Karichwi, lead us”
”Karichwi, you are simple, we are comfortable with ya Chwiik!”
Because of his low Intelligence and Wisdoarded Weed as one of theh Leadershi+p and Charis to be led by hireeh he received co becaroup, the one to last hit the enemy, received over half the XP
The rest of experience was distributed alardless of your contribution to the battle And Weed had to restrain his greed for experience points
'I have to stay setting theall the friendshi+p with these Orcs At the same time, if he holds back, it may very well lead to his death at soht as much as possible He attacked the e as he could and if there weren't tooblow
Not to e nuay From the first day he attempted to boost his attributes as hting monsters of the sa various skills and attributes, he became much more powerful than any other player of the sa
'Hard work noill make it easier later on'
He couldn't count the times he had noticed players who do not pay attention to it There have been cases when people reached level 250 without even getting their sword skill to an appropriate level Those kind of players leveled up without i their skills just because it would have required some hard work
But for Weed it becalad that Orcs hunted a lot Surrounding lands were filled withtrade skills and sculptural mastery aside for now
At some point Weed reached 295th level
Pale's party's hunt at the Soul Lake was in full swing
Before, they would not have dared to approach this place, but now, after raising their levels and with the help of Hwaryeong, Zephyr and Meyron, they decided to give it a try
Here they encountered terrible water spirits and fishlike thy battle ame, and only Pale and Mayrun stayed for a date next to the lake
Pale actually liked to chat:
”And so Actually And then”
He irl that he really liked
Pale wanted to tell her all about his life and adventures in the Royal Road Especially since they ame
He told her about the heavenly city Lavias
”What? Really?”
Meyron's eyes sparkled when she heard about the first steps they took as beginners, their first quests and how they explored the city in the sky
”How did Weed chose a profession of sculptor?”
”As far as I know”
Pale also talked a lot about Weed He also shared the secret that it was Weed who destroyed the vampires in the province of Mort
