Chapter 21 The Defeat of the Orcs

"..."

The orc captain was speechless at this moment. His original anger turned into fear after Tanes and Neferi Lu appeared.

Faced with the Orcs who were so numerous and so close to him, Tanes did not choose the Holy Spear of Mungwen, which had a long lead time, but instead picked up the plain greatsword again.

Captain Orc obviously remembered the greatsword, and those Orcs who had escaped from Tanes said that a human wizard in armor wielding a greatsword was easily slaughtering them.

When Captain Oak heard this, he scoffed at the Orcs who had escaped back, thinking that they were just a group of cowards who were frightened by the wizard.

It was not like it had not fought with knights from human countries before, including some who wielded greatswords, but they all died on the spot and became food for the wargs.

Because Captain Oak knew that normal humans could not swing a greatsword for a long time with their physical strength, he used this to order his Orcs to consume humans' physical strength and let the Wargs rush forward when the opponent showed a flaw.

But when Captain Orc saw the "huge" sword in Tanes' hand, he understood why the Orcs who had escaped back looked so terrified.

Compared with Tanes's greatsword, which caused a bloody storm every time it swept across the Orcs, the so-called greatswords in the hands of human knights that he had seen before were as ridiculous as toothpicks.

Captain Oak even wondered, could the giant sword in the human wizard's hand really be called a "sword"?

It looked more like a huge, rough block of iron! Captain Oak couldn't even feel any physical exertion from swinging that huge block of iron!
"what!"

"Crack-"

Just when Captain Oak was terrified because of Tanes, the sound of thunder and lightning coming from the other side along with Oak's screams brought it back to its senses, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

"Roar!"

The wolf under Captain Oak's crotch roared at the uneasy one. The captain looked in the direction of the sound, and then saw a human-shaped storm with golden lightning approaching him rapidly.

All the orcs and wargs that stood in the way of the lightning storm were swept up in it, their grey bodies cut into pieces at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their black blood splattered everywhere like a bursting water bag.

"Get out of here, you idiots! Get out of here!" Captain Oak looked at Nepheli Lu's figure getting closer and closer to him, and realized that the other party was here to behead him. He immediately roared at the Oaks who were crowded around him.

But in order to destroy the outpost here, the captain of the orcs crowded too many orcs into this small space, so even if he raised his weapon and slashed at the orcs next to the wolf, it would be useless.

It could only watch the golden lightning storm getting closer and closer to it, and even the wolf under its crotch lifted it up and left it on the ground.

"Oh oh oh--"

Amid Captain Oak's angry roar, Neferi Lu approached it.

The next second, a battle axe with golden lightning attached to it cut off its head.

The next second, another battle axe chopped off its chest horizontally.

……

Captain Oak soon fell to the ground like the Oak before him, his body in tatters.

Its head was lifted up by Neferi Lu by its sparse and withered hair, and its red eyes looked coldly at the surrounding Orcs.

When the Orcs saw their captain die without any resistance, they dropped their weapons instantly. The formation that was originally maintained under the coercion of the Orc captain instantly became a mess and they were about to flee the battlefield.

Instead, the ferocious wolves were still fighting with King Greg's army in the outpost, but with the well-trained cooperation of King Greg's army, this resistance was futile.

Not to mention that there is a knight commander on the field who is red-eyed with killing. Wherever there are the most enemies and the resistance is the most fierce, this knight commander who has fallen into the path of blood will roar more like a beast than a wolf and rush over.

This scene made the Oaks who were fleeing around wonder who was the one spreading fear and blood.

But their escape speed did not slow down because of this. In order to escape, many of the stronger Orcs even pointed their knives at their weaker compatriots in front of them, injuring them and throwing them towards the terrifying human knight behind them.

On Neferi Lu's side, another normal Grek knight, holding a broad-headed spear stained with Orc blood and viscera, led four Grek soldiers behind him to meet her on the battlefield where the Orcs were fleeing.

"Lord Storm King." Knight Greg first nodded to her respectfully, then saw the head of Captain Oak in the other's hand, and his eyes showed a little disappointment.

He also aimed at the position of Captain Oak and led his soldiers to fight their way out, but he didn't expect that someone would get ahead of him.

Forget it, as long as that madman doesn’t get the credit.

The Knight Greg glanced at the fallen Knight Commander who was chasing after the Orcs with his greatsword in hand not far away, and consoled himself in his heart.

While Knight Greg was talking to Neferi Lu, the other four soldiers took the initiative to protect them behind them, and also took out the crossbows behind their backs to kill the Orcs who were approaching here in a panic.

Neferi Lu nodded to him and said, panting slightly, "The Orc captain has been killed, and their formation has collapsed. Now is the time to pursue them. But remember, don't rush too far and chase them too fast. Are any of you injured? Let the wounded stay, and you continue to hunt down the Orcs in the outpost."

She had just been using her storm fighting skills, and her physical strength was still somewhat depleted.

"Yes, Lady Neferi-Lu!"

Knight Greg nodded respectfully to Neferi Lu, then turned to a Greg soldier who was breathing heavily and ordered, "You, your thigh is injured. Stay here and wait for treatment."

The soldier could only nod helplessly. He wanted to continue chasing the enemy, but his leg injury would definitely slow down his teammates.

Just as he and his knight captain were charging towards Captain Oak, he was bitten on the thigh by a warg that was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Fortunately, the wolf had been shot by a friendly crossbow on the watchtower and was already seriously injured. In addition, the soldier was wearing leg armor, so his thigh was only bitten a little where it was not covered by the armor, without any broken bones.

Knight Greg then ordered the soldiers around him, "Protect him to the nearest sentry tower, and then quickly reunite with me."

The soldier pointed out by Knight Greg immediately took action, helping the soldier with a wounded thigh and moving quickly towards the nearby watchtower.

"Slow down, I can walk by myself."

"If you walk any slower, all the orcs will run away. I still need to perform well in front of His Majesty Tanes."

The conversation between the two soldiers faded away, and Nepheli Lu smiled faintly after hearing it.

She understood the feelings of these soldiers who had previously left their homeland.

Neferi Lu held the head of the Orc Captain in front of Knight Greg, and gestured with her chin for him to take it. "I know you fought all the way here for this Orc head, but I don't need it. Keep it for yourself."

Knight Greg lifted the head of the Orc captain with the tip of his broad-headed spear and looked at Neferi Lu in disbelief.

After Neferi Lu gave him the head, she picked up her battle axe again and went to hunt down the other orcs.

Knight Greg watched Neferi Lu's swift retreat with envy, wondering when he could become like the Storm King, no longer needing the heads of enemy leaders to prove himself. Near the post station.

"That idiot is finally dead. He actually thought that the territory of human wizards was so easy to conquer."

The strong figure of Deputy Oak Captain appeared beside the stone wall of the inn, followed by a dozen orcs.

Perhaps, it should be called "Captain" now.

These dozen or so Oaks were originally the deputy captain's subordinates, but the deceased Oak captain used force to snatch them from the deputy captain.

Now that Captain Oak is dead, the remaining Oaks are either fleeing or following the original captain. The Oaks behind the deputy captain belong to the latter.

"Captain, aren't we going to run away?"

A thin Oak came over with a shifty look in his eyes and asked cautiously.

Vice Captain Oak, who had become the captain again, slapped the man's bald head hard and said in a gruff voice, "Fool, if you run away now, what will your master do next? Are we being chased out like wild dogs by human wizards?"

Then it looked at the stone wall of the inn it was holding onto, licking its exposed fangs, revealing a bloodthirsty look. "Just now, when that idiot forced us to destroy the outpost, I spotted a human woman passing by here. She must have been one of the humans who didn't have time to retreat to the fortress. While the other orcs are distracting the human wizard, we'll slaughter this inn from head to toe and bring the human woman's head back to the boss."

Then it fiercely shouted to the dozen orcs following behind it: "Hurry up!"

Under the deputy captain's scolding, the orcs' timid eyes became fierce again.

They cannot and dare not defeat human wizards, but if they just bully helpless civilians, they are not only brave but also very courageous.

The evil figures of the orcs soon broke into the medium-sized inn, but what confused them was that they did not see any human figures.

The sturdy deputy captain glanced at Oak, who was running around in the inn but didn't find anyone, and showed a speechless expression. Then he scolded: "The humans must be hiding. You idiots, go find out if there is an underground entrance!"

Soon, a passage leading underground was discovered by the Orcs.

There was no light in the passage, only pitch black, like the mouth of a giant beast from the abyss.

"Boss, I found this passage, and I heard some movement inside." Oak, who first discovered the underground passage, asked for credit eagerly.

But the deputy captain did not appreciate it. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the other person, then kicked him into the tunnel.

"We've found the tunnel, why don't you go in quickly? And you guys should go in quickly too!" the deputy captain cursed.

The sound of Oak's body hitting the wall could be heard intermittently, followed by its groans.

At the urging of the deputy captain, the other orcs jumped down in the dark, holding on to the stone walls on both sides.

But soon, the Oak that was kicked down by the deputy captain suddenly let out a terrified scream, and then the other Oaks who entered the tunnel heard the sound of flesh and bones being smashed.

The orc in front stopped. It smelled the blood flowing from the orc and dared not go forward.

But the Oak behind was driven away by the deputy captain with weapons and squeezed into the tunnel.

"Boom--!"

Before the orc could react, a metal flail half as long as his body and covered with spikes came crashing down at him with a sound of breaking through the air.

Like the Oak that was kicked in by the vice-captain, its body exploded like a water bag.

“Roar… Roar…”

A dull gasp came from the darkness, and from the perspective of the Orcs, a humanoid muscular monster, about the same size as a troll but wearing a huge golden round helmet, suddenly appeared.

At this time, Oak, who was in the front, was frightened and subconsciously used the rusty iron sword in his hand to chop the opponent's huge round helmet, but apart from the "ding" sound, it only left a shallow white mark on the helmet and did not cause any substantial damage.

The one who suddenly appeared in front of the Orcs was the pumpkin-headed soldier that Tanes had arranged at the inn to protect Teacher Seren.

Not only did Oak's attack fail to work, it also made the pumpkin-headed soldier more ferocious.

A creepy roar came from the almost fully enclosed round helmet, and the pumpkin-headed soldier lowered his head and charged towards the direction he was attacked.

The orcs in the underground passage screamed in fear. The orc in front had its ribs broken, and the pumpkin-headed soldiers pushed them out of the underground passage.

"Wooooooooooooooo!"

The pumpkin-headed soldier shouted angrily and swung the flail in his hand.

The surrounding Oaks looked at the weapons in their hands that were not even as long as the other party's arms and did not dare to get close.

But Tanes had arranged more than one pumpkin-head soldier here. After hearing the roar of his compatriots, another pumpkin-head soldier also followed the sound and walked out of the tunnel.

The deputy captain swallowed his saliva. He no longer had the intention to slaughter the post station, but there was something in his mind that he couldn't figure out.

That's how the human wizard tamed the two trolls.

That's right, the deputy captain mistook the pumpkin-headed soldier for a cannibal.

The deputy captain narrowed his eyes and looked at the two pumpkin-headed soldiers who were retreating outside the inn little by little.

It planned to slip away.

But the deputy captain suddenly heard the noisy shouts of the dwarves coming from behind him.

"Baruk Khazd! Khazd ai-mênu! (O dwarven battle-axe! The dwarves are charging at you!)"

Dwalin looked at the Orcs who had retreated outside the inn, roared, and charged even faster.

Kili simply drew his bow and aimed the sharp arrow at the retreating Orc, then released the bowstring.

"—!"

The deputy captain widened his dirty eyes, loosened his weapon and struggled to grab his own neck, but soon fell down powerlessly.

The arrow shot by Qili pierced its neck with incredible accuracy.

In the basement of the inn, Se Lian, who had taken off the witch's brilliant stone mask and revealed her delicate face, raised her head from the scroll. Hearing the noisy sound outside the basement, she shook her head slightly with some displeasure, and then turned her attention back to the scroll in front of her.
