The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 136 (1/2)
The noble Orc frontline position that had been discovered by dispatching several Leh death-attribute with the forms of transparent skulls
Vandalieu attacked this position to gain the things needed to treat Prince Budarion and the other wounded
Though it was a frontline position, it had nothing but watchtowers and storehouses, and was poorly constructed overall other than its size There was no need to prepare beforehand There weren’t h to wipe theth
Borkus ran with enough force to crush the ground beneath his feet, and once he got within a certain distance… within fiftyhis sword sideways
“First, I’ll be taking your parts! Flying Dragon Slash!+”
Borkus activated the Sword King Technique martial technique that he had recently created, a more powerful version of the Swordsmanshi+pattack
“BUGOOOH!” the noble Orc General roared
The slashi+ng attack released by the greatsword that had beenand Death Iron cut through the noble Orc General’s Archery h the noble Orc General’s bow and decapitate him
“BUGYAAAAH?!”
“bumOFFUGOBUBUBUH!”
Unrest spread a seen one of the fort’s commanders killed instantly For est individuals of their respective groups Due to this fact, the defeat of their coreater effect on them than it would have on human armies
But this fort had one more commander other than the noble Orc General; there was the noble Orc Mage Buburin
“BUKYAKYABUH! Slaves! You stay there where you are!” he shouted
And then he calth of Borkus, the one who had defeated his comrade, and decided to retreat
Buburin was confident that they would be able to defeat an eneher if the noble Orc General was in good health by sacrificing some of the Orcs
However, Borkus wasn’t that kind of enele hit, he had decapitated a noble Orc General who had plenty of Vitality, from a far distance as well
He wasn’t a weak enough eneh tactics and coordination
Buburin had to use the Orcs, the members of an inferior race, and the slaves that would only become burdens to buy some time and retreat to the empire Since the ene the slaves rather than giving chase
“Alright! I’ve secured enough parts for the prince!”
“Now then, ill e I will let everyone out”
Before the Orcs could follow Buburin’s orders and take up battle for materials in their hands instead of clubs, Vandalieu, as clinging to Borkus’s back with the De’s suction cups, made his move
“It’s fine to kill all of the noble Orcs, right?”
“Tiht against Bugogan’s sons!”
“To be able to transport even Arachne and Empusa… Is Shrine-Maiden-dono a ninja?”
“No, a bushi+?”
“Bufuh… how is everyone fine after that?”
“We’re used to it”
Eleanora, Basdia, Vigaro, Myuze, Gizania and Prince Budarion eed from within Vandalieu
Buburin and his subordinates couldn’t help but to open their eyes wide in shock at the sudden appearance of more enemies
“Fugoh?! Budarion, fugogoh?!”
Their discoreater due to the fact that they could see Prince Budarion a them
The pale-faced Budarion, as being protected by Myuze and Gizania as well as the other Eed after thement of the enemy’s formation
And then he let out a manly roar
“BUGOOOOOKUGYAGYAGYAH!”
To Vandalieu and his co shout, but the effect on Buburin and his subordinates was dramatic
“Prince Budarion?!”
“This e, it’s undoubtedly Prince Budarion!”
Hope returned to the faces of the slaves that had been frozen still in fear of the Undead attack, thinking that this was the end… Prince Budarion’s citizens
“Fugoooh!”
“Bugih?!”
And then the Orcs separated into Budarion’s side and Buburin’s side Budarion’s side… the Orcs that had sy tormented by Buburin, abandoned their positions and moved to protect the citizens
Budarion’s roar hadn’t sie, “Orcs! Protect the citizens!”
“Buh, BUGIIIH!” Buburin shouted in the Orc language, but his dignity was clearly inferior to Prince Budarion’s
Even so, the Orcs on Buburin’s side tried to stop the Orcs on Budarion’s side fro their positions, but they couldn’t move from where they were due to Buburin’s orders to slow the ene about in confusion
“Those who are protecting the citizens are the Orcs who have returned to my side! I wish for you to think of them as allies!” said Prince Budarion
“… It see,” ZadirisWind Blades and Ice Spears nonetheless
“Mother, let’s think of the different inside, even if they look the sae,” said Basdia, who followed up on Zadiris’s spells by throwing iron apples and hatchets
“Never o!” shouted Eleanora
The mostly-unarmored Orcs were defeated in the blink of an eye There was one Orc persevering, brandishi+ng a log, but he was silenced by Eleanora, who flew in to close the distance and cut hi with her sword
Seeing this, Buburin realized that this was not an attack by a single, powerful Undead, but a planned assault by Budarion
“noble Orcs and High Goblins, die here together with h Kobolds, split up and retreat! One of you must make it back and return with this information!”
The noble Orcs who had been trying to retreat obeyed Buburin’s orders, turning back around and activating their shi+eld Technique and Arh Goblins raised their spears and swords as well, letting out shrill cries to inspire themselves
Meanwhile, the High Kobolds threw their weapons to the ground and fled, running on all fours like beasts
“BUGYABUBUFUH!” Buburin himself cast the Flame Boar spell, a spell that conjured a boar of flale second
“Don’t get in my way! I can’t cut your heads off if you do that!” Borkus shouted as he cut straight through the noble Orcs’ shi+elds and the ar their torsos
“Great Decapitation! Fuhahahah, defeating noble Orcs as powerful as Bugogan was is like stealing candy fro the heads of Buburin’s dependable subordinates flying
“The fact that you are approaching ht?” said Basdia, defeating five High Goblins one by one
“This is a spell, not a monster? Like a familiar?” said the Broad Ghost Orbia as she appeared
The Fla body as a weapon was beco smaller and smaller as she repeatedly struck it with her liquid tentacles
“GYAIIIIN!”
“GYAWAAAAN?!”
“Hyaaahah!”
“Hyabbuh!”
“It’ll be troublesome for us if you send word to the empire!”
Every single one of the desperately retreating Kobolds were crushed by the Blitz Ghost Kihts’ Order, who had been lying in ambush, as well as Eleanora
“BUKYAAAAH! BUBUGYAAAAH?!”
Even Buburin, who had been releasing Flaic Absorption Barrier and cut down by Bone Man
“My lord, I could have defeated hiic,” Bone Man said
“I did it just in case,” said Vandalieu “Now then, Prince Budarion, please explain the situation to the citizens and the Orcs that have returned to your side”
“Yes, leave it to me,” said Prince Budarion
With the enemies all exterminated, he walked towards the rescued citizens and the Orcs who had returned to beco them The liberated citizens and Orcs cheered for him and expressed their happiness at the fact that he was still alive with tears of joy
“But this was really unexpected,” Vandalieu muttered as he cast the Preservation spell on the corpses of Buburin and his subordinates and gathered information from their spirits
“Indeed,” Basdia agreed “It’s not particularly unusual that half of the Orcs listened to Prince Budarion’s orders, though”
“No, is that not quite strange? After all, everyone knows that the prince was defeated by Bugitas and has only one arm and one eye left,” said Bone Man, somewhat doubtful
There was nothing strange about the fact that the Orcs had obeyed the orders of a noble Orc
noble Orcs were originally a race that had been created by the evil Gods of the De’s army to act as commanders for Orcs That hy Orcs, even those with the race title of King, obeyed the orders of noble Orcs
And if there wereorders, Orcs prioritized the stronger commander as monsters should
However, Prince Budarion had been defeated by Bugitas the one served by Prince Buburin and his subordinates Fro Prince Budarion
However, all of this only applied to the Orcs outside the Boundary Mountain Range
“Is that so? Froe that half of the Orc Workers returned to the prince’s side, but… it seems that with ten thousand years of isolation, differences arise between those on the inside and outside, even if they are of the same race,” said Myuze
Indeed, the Orcs of the noble Orc eenerations under the rule of noble Orcs
In this area, where Rank 4 le or a mere few Orcs, whose base Rank was 3, would not be reliable as fighting strength That hysoldiers and laborers
They protected the hu their daily efforts in randchild to great-grandchild, this had continued on for approximately ten thousand years
This had changed the Orcs
Many of the Orcs of the noble Orc eular Orcs
That hy Prince Budarion and the others from Zanalpadna had expected that while there would be soainst their instincts, there would also be a certain number of Orcs that felt doubt and discontent with him
They had taken a bet as to what the exact number of those Orcs would be, but only half of the Orcs that had been gathered for the construction of this frontline position had been like this, so it seemed that ht
“Of course, there are also Orcs like the ones that attacked ation, so we cannot be too optimistic,” said Gizania
“Once Prince Budarion’s treatment is finished and his wounds are healed, the situation should change for the better,” said Vandalieu
He had already finished securing the corpse parts and was now using the Golem Creation skill to build Orc-shaped Golems from earth and stone and colored their surfaces with the De’s ink
“… Shrine-Maiden-dono, can you really not transfor to associate the sight of Vandalieu spraying the Deue to color the Goles that ninjas could supposedly transform into
Perhaps it couldn’t be helped that she thought this; he had been using the De to Borkus’s back earlier as well
“I cannot,” said Vandalieu
TLN: He ends his sentence with de-gozaru like Myuze here
Prince Budarion seemed startled as he turned around and saw Vandalieu, but Vandalieu didn’t takework Incidentally, it seeht of Vandalieu as ‘some kind of mysterious monster that resembles a human child’ or ‘a rare type of Majin’
“Will the ca up at the Gole as they weren’t looked at from close-up
“I think it will be fine from a distance,” said Vandalieu “Since I made Orc spirits possess theh I think the scent will give them away if enemies approach closer”
