Chapter 88 (1/2)

”D-DRAGONS!!!”

Dragons had always been a reclusive race, sequestering theions of the world such as the Nidhthemselves in rare occasions But now, they'd broken their seclusion in order to begin their can of assault upon the capital cities of huon attacks in the past To the huons who only ever attacked alone had been a syardless, the huical artillery, and soon they had gained the capability to repel dragons

But on that day, for the first tions revealed their true power to the huons that had attacked huth, capable of breathing fire, approxireen and dirt-brown

But the dragons joining the can this time were covered in beautiful scales, as if they were clad in coats of shi+fting ems: bronze and brass, silver and platinu froth, and so froh the sky with tre them even possessed twenty, nearly thirty thousand total combat power, equivalent to that of a Dark General The huons they'd fought until now had only been ie country Torbasept and the nearby two small countries on the northeastern sons Two sdoons, and while the two large countries deployed their armies, the demihuman resistance took the opportunity to attack and conquer the sons hadn't been the only monsters to have taken action

The Dark General of the Northwestern Continent, the Orc King, and all thirty thousand of his subordinate orcs began tohad only stayed quiet until now due to the three nearby large countries that were keeping thedoardless, the Sage at the City of Magic Quarancinq would arrive to deal with them immediately

At the sa still survived despite being surrounded by such firepower It wasn't because the orcs were powerful, but rather, because of their prodigious nuh-impossible to wipe them out completely

And there was another secret reason: Marlene the Sage wanted the glory to be hers alone In every joint operations with other large countries, she had always been holding back her power to keep the orcs alive

Trees cracked and crashed, giving way to waves and waves of orcs The enormous forest trembled under their footsteps

Orcs were hule, noring froh Orcs, were only about 1500, while the leaders of orcish forces called Orc Generals were only around 3000 in combat power

In a comparison of pure combat poith the other Dark General arre had 1000 — orcs were notably weak Their strength instead lay in their reproductive ability and their incredibly robust digestion: they could turn al other than minerals and metals into nutrition

When an army marched, it would need vast aer their supply netould need to be to transport the necessary food,speed would beco the trees they had felled, and any wild forest aniht would be consumed alive, bones and all There was no drop in the ar raised his battleaxe and roared a furious battlecry

He, too, had realized the appearance of the Evil God on Yggdrasia He had also felt the Will of the World Tree, telling his, but he didn't care as ainst the human race

Orcs were more than the people's coe monsters

They were fertile because they eak They knew they were big eaters, and so they had learned to fare herbivorous animals as food

But ever since the hu the boons that should have been equally bestowed upon all living beings of the world — the orcs' lifestyle could no longer continue

Hu it into military power in order to drive all other races away froh to satisfy theun to take anyone not of their race as their slaves, their livestock

As the hus, the life-force that nurtured the surrounding forests began to drain away There had beenthe population of the exiled races

But things got even worse In just a few decades, the humans had proven thean to invade the orcs' forests to massacre their inhabitants

”The orcs threaten our new villages and towns”

”We can use their skins as material and feed their ain fame as adventurers”

These were the reasons the hu of orcs all over the world In the end, the only large-scale orc settle would never, ever forget this grudge

He had taken the appearance of the Evil God and the subsequent ide chaos to be an opportunity

Just as he expected, his scouts had reported that the hu shi+ps, the terrible machines that had stymied his many attempts to advance his ar immediately raised his army

Luckily, there was none of the usual interference from the Heroine The orcs hated her too, of course, but they detested the whole hu?!”

Lansis's e to discuss the dark pixies The shocking news jolted him out of his seat

”Yes, sir! The western army had already moved out, but as we have confir, it is likely only a matter of time before they reach this capital…”

”What the fuck were the lookouts doing?! damn it, call the battleshi+ps back! And where the hell is the Sage?”

Faced with the e prime minister paled

”We still can't contact the fleet, likely due to the distance Lady Marlene's whereabouts is still unknown ever since the incident…”

”So that foxy bitch really did summon the Unseelie Lord then! Request aid frododrasia, only two countries bore the title of 'empire': this Lansis Empire, and the Touze Empire of the Central Continent

They both had an old history, being no e, yet Lansis Empire had always been seen as inferior to the Central Continent's Touze Empire

The twisted inferiority complex of Lansis's emperor had been the reason why the country had proposed the plan to subjugate the Unseelie Lord to Tolldorre and Luselle Kingdom They wanted to steal abattleshi+p fleet that should have been used to deal with the Orc King was now deployed, together with the coate the Unseelie Lord Only their knights and soldiers were left Lansis's th had practically been cut in half
