43 Orcs Army (1/2)

-Vanguards Stronghold Hall-

We arrived at their Guild Hall. The place looks like a mini castle but only important things and people are inside. No unimportant spaces can be seen around the place. Siegriel is here and is walking right towards us.

”Welcome to our humble Guild Hall. Unlike Order of Light's Castle, our guild hall is a bit small but as you can see it's well made and it's not for display but only for guild concerns. Anyway, I've heard that you guys defeated the Yeti. I know you're surprised that we are making it such a big deal but to tell you honestly, the Yeti you just killed was the strongest Yeti that killed many of our comrades while hunting and because of that, we can't explore further so people here are glad that it's dead now. How about you join our guild?” He asked calmly. You talked really long and the main reason is just to invite us to your guild? Oh jeez.

”We really love to be part of your guild but we really don't want to join any guilds right now. We love to travel from one place to another. If we join a guild today, it would be just a hindrance to our adventures,” I replied without being blunt.

”Well, I understand. But if you change your mind, our guild is really open for you guys,” He is really a good guy.

”We really thank you for the offer,” We decided to leave the place.

”Wait a sec..,” Siegriel stopped us from leaving.

”I would like to tell you the real reason why we called you. It's because we are looking for members to join our defense. You won't believe this without seeing but an army of Orcs from the Icy Mountains are already marching their way to attack our stronghold. No other people know about this but only us here in the guild hall because it might cause panic. Our scouts said that maybe tonight, they'll reach our stronghold and we need every power we can get to defend from them. Can you help us?” He sighed after telling his problem. It looks like they really need some help.

”Sure. We are willing to help you guys,” Without any doubt, I promised to help.

”Hey Scy, are you really sure about this? It's a bit risky if you ask me,” Elou whispered to me. He was right. But we can't afford to lose this opportunity to increase our connection to this guild. Helping them and losing the war is still a win-win situation for us.

”I already know that, but in case we get to be in a big trouble, I always say to you that retreating is always an option,” I replied to his worries.

”Fine, it's on you if we die in battle,” Elou, stop being a scardy-cat!

”Sure, sure. Just protect Lili and Akko and we will make it through somehow,” I replied.

”Anyway, do you already have a plan later?” I asked Sieg.

”Well, we're already prepared for their attack and we think that there will be just small casualties,” He's pretty calm. That's what you would expect from a leader.

”Ok, we will also prepare for later,” I replied and we decided to leave the Guild Hall.

”Elou, prepare more arrows this time. This is a good opportunity to increase your archery mastery. Akko and Lili, you need some equipment that greatly reduces mana consumption for you to deal more and support better, this will be a great time for you to get your masteries up. Just don't die or it'll be just a waste.” I suggested.

”Hmp,” Lili showed her cute side. I think she's starting to talk to me now.

”Don't mind him Scy. I'm sure you know what you're doing and have a plan, right?” Akko asked.

”Plan? Oh, just don't get killed.” I laughed.
