(What’s going on…?)

This thought flashed through the leader's mind, and a more terrifying nightmare immediately came.

The individual combat capabilities of the Lizardmen, who had previously had the upper hand, began to rival those of the Orc army.

The orc army has not been greatly strengthened, but its current strength is enough to break the balance.

From this moment on, the Lizardmen completely lost their advantage.

The leader observed the battle and knew they couldn't hold out for even a day. Even if reinforcements were sent, it would take three days. They simply couldn't hold out.

The defending forces have begun to suffer casualties.

Rather than waiting for the genocide, it is better to let the women and children escape.

"Listen everyone, you're going to suffer a lot from now on. But—we can't let the Lizardmen's bloodline be cut off here. You must survive. I will buy you time to escape!"

There was no point in running away. All that lay ahead was suffering, and perhaps even destruction.

despite this……

The leader still bet everything on his last hope.

"Run away! If you want to survive, go to the monster called Rimuru! Go!"

However, the leader's hope was ruthlessly rejected.

"Hahahaha, this road has been blocked by us."

As he spoke, several Orcs appeared from what should have been a safe retreat.

They were Orc knights clad in steel armor.

also--

Screams came from one of the four passages.

Amidst the wailing, an ugly orc appeared, covered in blood and wearing black armor.

His appearance was extremely unusual.

There was a crazy fire burning in his eyes.

The huge body is even bigger than the Pig-Headed Knight.

(Could he be the Orc King?)

The leader's body trembled in shock, and he stared intently at the giant coming from the other side.

However, the leader was wrong. The reality was even more cruel than he had imagined.

"I will sacrifice you to the great Orc King. No one shall escape."

Hearing this, the leader finally understood the true nature of the Orc army before him. Indeed, he wasn't the Orc King at all, just one of his subordinates. Even a monster like this possessed such power...

He held a heavy axe and spear in his hand - the Pig-Headed General had arrived.

That evil posture seemed to embody infinite despair.

(That's... that's it... but I can't just sit there and wait for death!)

The leader was nearly defeated by despair, but he still used his last bit of strength to motivate himself.

"Hahahaha! It's been a while since I met a worthy opponent. Are you qualified to fight me?"

The chief knew that his death was near.

He picked up his spear and stood leisurely in front of the Pig-Head General.

As the last leader of the lizardmen who brought destruction upon themselves, he must die with honor...

The captain of the Lizardman guards ran through the forest carrying the leader's orders.

However, she wasn't sure where to go. The messenger named Cangying possessed a powerful demonic energy, and she tried to intercept it, but couldn't get a single glimpse of it.

But she shoulders the future of the Lizardmen and must not stop.

The captain of the guard trusted his intuition and ran in the forest with full concentration.

Lizardmen are known for their high mobility in the wetlands, but this is useless in the forest.

She was panting, her heart was pounding, and her body was becoming increasingly tired.

Even so, she didn't stop.

In order to fulfill basic moral obligations to the allies who are about to form an alliance with our army.

Three hours had passed since she started running.

She shook off the restraints and then ran for her life. Now relying entirely on her mental strength, she could collapse at any moment.

In fact, she also understood one thing.

Even if you continue running, you may not encounter the monster called Souei.

Even if they met him by chance, they might not necessarily lend a helping hand.

Wouldn't it be better to just run away?

This thought flashed through my mind.

(How could this be possible! Am I betraying my compatriots and my father?)

She quickly dismissed the idea and stopped thinking about it.

The captain of the guard believed that it was her fault for not being able to stop her brother Gabil's atrocities.

She knew that Gabil wanted the chief's approval.

However, she did not inform the chief about this.

The Lizardman Warrior - Gabil.

Like some people, she also respected Gabil.

She had always firmly believed that her brother would become an outstanding leader in the future even without her support.

That's how it should be...

There were so many coincidences in this incident that everything went haywire.

However, there was one thing that still bothered her.

If the two siblings could talk to each other more, perhaps this tragedy could have been avoided.

Therefore, I must be responsible for this incident.

Never run away from the battlefield.

Once she stopped, she had no strength to run anymore.

That's why she has to keep running.

Someone found her trace.

She ran as fast as she could, completely unaware.

The man climbed the branches leisurely and followed her silently.

There was a faint smile on his face and saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

then--

Seeing the moment when she was exhausted and about to stop...

It landed quietly in front of her - the captain of the guard.

His arms were long, like a monkey's, and his feet were like those of a carnivore.

However, the body and head still retain the ugly appearance of a half-orc.

"Guhehehe, you look very tired. Your muscles are tense, which must be delicious."

The captain of the guard looked at the monster in front of him with hatred.

It was definitely a high-ranking orc. And he wasn't alone; there were dozens following him.

The chance of survival is very low.

"You guy..."

"Guhehe, guhahahaha. I'm one of the pig-headed generals. You should feel honored to be able to enter my stomach!"

"Um, General Pighead?"

The captain of the guards picked up the spear slung over his back. However, the winner was already clear.

Tortured by exhaustion, her movements had already become sluggish, and she had no strength to defeat the Pig-Head General and his men.

But even so...

Even though she knew it was useless to struggle, she still did not abandon her dignity and decided to fight a battle with little chance of winning.

"Yeah, great job! It looks great!"

A strange-looking man was shouting and yelling lively.

He was wearing strange clothes and a strange mask.

It looks weird no matter how you look at it.

This person was Laplace, who had spoken to Gabil.

He manipulated the three crystal balls as if they were small balls.

Each ball is about the size of a human head, and seems to reflect some kind of image inside.

If you look closely, you will find that those images are the actual battlefield situation.

Indeed, these crystal balls could connect with his vision and broadcast images, and were expensive magic props. This time, his employer had given him these crystal balls as a gift when he commissioned him to do this.

To connect to the crystal ball, the person had to touch it first. Therefore, he could only see the perspectives of three people, but this was enough for Laplace.

He wanted three easier-to-control pig-headed generals to connect to the crystal ball so that he could peek at the battlefield through their eyes.

Of course, this wasn't his interest, but a genuine job commissioned by his employer.

However, Laplace seemed to believe that if he didn't have fun, he would lose out, so he watched the battle with great interest.

As he expected, the battle developed as his employer hoped.

"Great! The client will definitely be satisfied with this."

There was no one around, but Laplace still had to say a few words before he was satisfied.

However, this time is different from the past.

"You're enjoying it."

Someone replied.

"who is it!"

Laplace asked back in shock, and a graceful beauty appeared before him.

The green hair intertwined like vines, covering the body.

As the hair flutters, the translucent body is revealed.

"I am the forest manager, the dryad Delanie. I cannot let the demons run amok. I will get rid of you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Delanie began to chant magic.

Laplace panicked.

"Huh? Wait! I'm not a demon!"

"Shut up. When you disturb the forest, you're guilty."

Ignoring Laplace's words, Delanie cast her magic.

"Wait, wait a minute! Why are you casting magic?"

"Spirit Summon: Sylphid. Then activate the additional skill 'Assimilation'!"

Delanie is a dryad, able to envelop her spirit form in magical essence, creating a physical body. Similar to Rimuru's "Duplicate Technique," this isn't a physical form. Her true form resides in a spiritual tree, which is her true form.

Because of this, she was able to assimilate with the elves.
