Chapter 50 – Chapter 5

“Looks like they’re waiting for the main unit.”

With the bird’s shaman’s hand raised above its head, the orc chief could read the enemy’s movements by sharing the bird’s vision.

“When you look at the different aspects of armament, discipline, and all aspects, it is clear that they are mercenaries.”
“Why don’t we attack first? It doesn’t seem necessary to gather the enemies together.”

Individual breaking is a basic strategic tactic.

Another shaman objected to the standard proposal of an orc commander.

“No. The main unit has been narrowed down to a few hours away from them.”
“If reinforcements arrive in the middle of a fight with the enemy, it will be even more chaotic.
“Hmm…”

If it were soldiers who wanted to follow orders as much as possible, it would be worth trying, but if you have to command berserkers who fight according to their emotions, this will be dangerous if you encounter enemy reinforcements during battle.

“What about the enemy?”
“It is impossible to check properly. They are sniping all birds flying towards them.”
“You’ve got excellent response skills. Did the ‘real’ appear?”

A timid bird will be frightened by the noise of a troop in motion and try to distance itself from the troop.

That is, any bird that approaches the noisy moving army is an unusual bird.

“When the enemy’s main force arrives, use the war machine to break up the ranks and charge. In the future, those who want to subdue us will continue to flock, so everyone should value their lives.”
“Yes!”
“When the humans give up our subjugation. I, in the name of Zaracum, will establish an orc empire!”
“Zarakum! Zarakum!”

I will stop fighting with humans and walk a different path than other tribes who struggle for power.

Zarakum, finally able to show off his ambitions, waited for the main human force to arrive.

However, as if a shaman was anxious, he explained the information he found out to Zara Qum.

“Chief. But the people on this side are saying strange things.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It is said that humans kill themselves by shooting fire and making thunder-like noises.”
“Huh? Shoot fire? Kill with sound?”
“I also thought it was strange, so I asked more questions, but he kept repeating the same words.
“I must have used some strange magic. The people on this side are stupid enough to sigh.”

Jarakum asked the orcs on this side if they knew where they were and if they had any information about the humans on this side.

However, they only knew the geography of the surroundings, and they knew nothing about what kind of land this was or what human state was ruling it.

Rather, when asked why he had to know that, Zaracum gave up talking to the orcs on this side.

“But just in case you don’t know…”
“It’s okay. There’s no need to listen to nonsense from people who don’t even know magic.”

Zaracum ignored the shaman’s warning and waited for the human main force to arrive.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries waiting for the main unit were surprised by the appearance of the greenskins not charging.

“What are those?”
“Are the greenskins in line?”
“No, some of them are trying to come out, but armed orcs are hitting them and blocking them.”
“There were real heterogeneous Orcs.”

I’ve heard that it’s led by alien orcs, but it’s almost like a human army.

If the greenskins were able to keep their discipline like that, they might have been treated as mercenaries, not as monsters, but as elves or dwarves.

Except for the goblins, greenskins stronger than humans formed a rank like an army, but the mercenaries were not particularly nervous.

“Anyway, a greenskin is a greenskin.”
“Akina Marquis came out and they were all together like that. This war, they ate completely raw.”

The mercenaries who had already secured victory and were hanging out without tension.

And it was the same with the Wolf Mercenary Corps, which could be said to have the highest level of discipline among the mercenaries.

‘What a great thing to come…’

As the tedious confrontation between the mercenaries and the greenskins continued, Kai Sent felt a slight vibration and looked behind him.

From afar, the troops of the Marquis Akina were advancing along the cleared road with clouds of dust.

“Huh? What is that?”

However, the shape of the army is a bit strange.

“I’m here.”
“All open!”
“Bastards!

The other mercenaries must have seen it as well, and widened it to the left and right to make a path for the main force to pass.

Kurgor —- Route-Rattoo-

“Uh, uh uh. Uh uh uh!?”

Kaicent screamed in astonishment at the tank passing through the space opened by the Wolf mercenaries.

It is not a chariot driven by horses, but a chariot equipped with countless wheels, armed with metal armor, and a battery that fires shells.

Bang! Bang!

The tank that passed the mercenaries shook its body momentarily when it fired a shell.

Tank shells exploded in the greenskin camp, but it only served as a signal to signal the beginning.

At the back, a primitive missile shape perched on a wooden board with a head raised diagonally.

Push shush shush!

As the soldiers lit the wick, the missiles fixed on the wooden planks flew and hit the greenskin unit, causing several explosions.

The reason why I used the expression ‘several’ is because the landing points were completely different, as if there was no proper guidance system.

However, there was more than enough to destroy the dense army, so the ferocious greenskins showed what moral bread means by wandering around.

Doo doo doo doo—

When the first bombardment was over, lightly armed cavalrymen with cylindrical guns, ships flying in the sky, and airships and griffins escorting airships charged from the ground and air.

When the bottom of the airship’s ship was opened and the griffin riders pushed the hanging object, different sizes of metal fell one after another, creating a long explosion.

The completely devastated Greenskins ran to the ground and fired with cylindrical guns, which made a hole in the Greenskin’s body at once with a ‘Pakan’ sound different from ordinary guns.

The strange thing is that the cavalrymen who fired in that way took a detour for a while and then fired again without reloading.

“What, what! What the hell is this!!”

Zaracum could not come to his senses from the weapons of humans he had never heard of.

War as far as he knew it was the normal clash of weapons on the ground.

Of course, there were war machines used by the tribe, but they were siege weapons and this one was on a completely different level.

“Fire the war machine!”
“Yes? But if we fire now, our allies will…!”
“If you go on like this, everything will collapse! First of all, we have to smash that iron block and turn it around! Shamans, take charge of the sky side!”

It was a situation where a normal commander would have lost his mentality, but Zaraqum gave instructions somehow and looked for an opportunity to turn things around.

Quadd deed deed deed!

The round iron mass that caused the fall of Munratel rotates and rushes towards the tanks.

In an instant, dozens of guards, who had been shooting and dodging repeatedly, spurred on their horses and moved as if to protect the tank.

Cheer up! Chark! Chunk!

Surprisingly, the iron plate that was minimally protecting their upper body changed its shape, and a perfectly integrated armor from head to toe was completed.

Jumping at a speed many times faster than the horse, they hit the war machine that was running towards the chariot with a huge hammer formed with armor.

The war machine used by the disparate orcs was struck one after another by their hammers, and soon lost its momentum and collapsed without power.

As long as the war machine disappeared, the Greenskins were only unilaterally trampled.

“Oh ahhhhh!”

However, Zarakum, unable to admit defeat, let out a mana-loaded roar and summoned the warriors of the tribe.

“Follow me, all warriors! From now on, hit the enemy commander!”

At this rate, no, the situation has already been confirmed defeat.
Nevertheless, he used his last move to turn the whole situation around.

Clutching a massive axe in one hand, Zara Khum began charging, channeling mana into her axe.

“Kooooo!”

Kwachi Jijik!

First of all, Zaracum hit the ax at the chariot obstructing the path, and showed the chariot being torn apart by his attack, raising the morale of the warriors.

“Look! They’re not invincible either! They just use strange weapons we don’t know about!”
“Zarakum! Zarakum! Zarakum!”
“I will kill their commander and capture all their weapons!”

The disparate orcs rallied behind Jarakum, bursting out of the battlefield and charging at the Marquis’ main force.

A death squad made up of talented people who can unite as one and use mana individually.

However, the Marquis Akina’s army was concentrating only on subjugating the Greenskins, ignoring the death squad, which had a force that could not be ignored.

“Hey! Orcs are coming this way!”
“Damn it! No signal…Ah, it’s Count Akina!”

At that time, a knight appeared from the main unit.

‘That armor… !’

Kaicent, who had been horrified by tanks, gunmen, bombers and long-range missiles, was even more astonished by the sight of mercenaries calling knights in familiar armor.

The knight in armor called Count Akina was the same knight he met in the forest.

“Look carefully, Kaicent. Origin’s ability.”

A nearby mercenary advised Kaisent to focus on moving strategic weapons, which he had to flee without looking back if he became an enemy, rather than flashy fireworks.

Kaicent, who was watching Count Akina without such advice, swallowed dry saliva.

‘Mana like an intense storm… ! The mana around me is fluctuating just with momentum!’

He has the strongest power among people he has ever met.

198cm huge body and armor.
A gigantic, out-of-standard horse that could bear its weight.
A gigantic lance that stands out even between the two beings, creating an optical illusion that makes an ordinary sword look like a dagger.

Akina spurred on her horse and charged at the disparate orcs who were trying to attack the base.

As soon as the lance charging acceleration was applied, Akina’s mana flowed toward the horse, and the two beings shared their senses and vision.

“Come! Kooooo!”

Zaracum swung his ax in an X shape to hit Akina’s lance charging head-on.

A huge shockwave from the ax flew to destroy the ground, and the moment she was about to collide with Akina, she disappeared.

“Keah haaaaagh!”

No, it didn’t disappear, but the horse evaded to the side and moved toward the Orc warriors at a speed that was out of sight.

Every time he lightly wielded his huge lance and stabbed it, the ground was cut and dug, turning the orcs into pieces of meat.

The warriors tried to encircle and attack, taking damage, but the horse flew up into the sky and spurred the air, lightly moving out of the encirclement through a double jump.

“This bastard!”

Zarakum again lunged at Akina, who evaded him and attacked the warriors.

However, when Zaracum attacked, only an afterimage remained, and Akina and the horse moved quickly as if using clone techniques and hacked the other orc warriors to pieces.

Kaicent, who was watching the scene, opened his mouth with an admiring voice.

“Like…”
“It’s like one body with a horse? That’s right. Right now Count Akina is no different from one body with a horse.”
“Yes?”

The mercenary nearby gave an answer, as if predicting what Kaicent would say in advance.

“Up to Master, you can just become stronger like everyone else, but when you become Origin, special abilities that only you can have will bloom depending on your life, way of thinking, and personality. We call this a gift.”
“Gift…”
“And Count Akina’s gifts are all human and horse. It does not represent the bond between a horse and its owner, but that horse shares the abilities and senses of Count Akina. Even if they are of the same origin, they cannot imitate the gift given to them.”

Perhaps it is a well-known fact, the mercenary casually explained Count Akina’s gift.

By the time Kaicent listened to the explanation from the mercenary, Akina killed all the Orc warriors in an instant and faced Zaracum.

“You despicable human!”
“Ohhh. You really have an intellect. You’re saddened by the death of a colleague.”
“Don’t call us beasts, cowardly humans!”
“A coward? You seem to be misunderstanding something.”

Oh oh oh —-

“Ugh!!”
“I took care of the remnants that would scatter after you died, so I dealt with them first.”

Overwhelmed by Akina’s mana, Zaracum bit his lip so hard that blood gushed out.

Instinctively, she realized that the presence in front of her was stronger than herself.
She had deliberately controlled his powers to prevent her from escaping.

“You wasted your time, human! The warriors of the Red Tooth tribe are not such cowards!”

Zarakum squeezed all his strength and ran out, creating a crater like a cartoon expression.
Smashing Akina’s lance, he swung her ax to cut through her torso, but

Kwajijik!

The ax bounced off the mana around the lance, and the lance pierced her defenseless chest.

“Cool…! Did I…See…Humans…Too funny… But…I…Lived this…”

Jarakum, who had a hole through which a human head could come in and out, collapsed, bleeding.

“It’s a pity. Even though he’s younger than the other Orcs, he must have been very talented seeing as he had master-class skills.”

If Zaracum had grown 10 more years, a tougher fight would have awaited him than now.

However, no matter how outstanding talent you have, it is a different story if it blooms.

There are countless talents that are fading without being able to properly unfold them like now.

‘I won’t let that child face this outcome.’

Subsequently, Akina, who recalled her kai cent, remembered her desire to develop her talent properly.

If you receive systematic training under him, you will be able to become a much better warrior than this Orc chief.

“The Warlord has been slain! All troops, charge!”

Akina, who announced that she had defeated the enemy general with her mana-filled voice, charged her enemy with a short-lived sword.

At the place where Akina, who possessed her human gift, charged, her greenskins were pulverized and fragmented and exploded in all directions around her.

“Let’s go!”
“Sweep up even one more!”

With the commander gone, the greenskins scatter like cockroaches.

The mercenaries rushed in to receive as much loot and pay as possible.

Subsequently, the cavalrymen waiting in the main unit also moved, and occupied the retreat of the greenskins first.

It is to induce the mercenaries to deal with the residual sugar while they block it.

‘The strongest in this world…’

Kaicent looked at Akina, who was using the Human Being Gift while moving with the Wolf Mercenary Corps.

I will never forget how she never loses her grace even while displaying violent lance charging that crushes everything.
