chapter 82: orc nest (2)
“i saw the flames going up, so i came over, and what the hell is this?”
the knight commander, with a beard and countless scars on his face and arms, appeared before me. despite his questions, the knight commander pulled his sword from his waist and slowly walked past me.
(knight commander, he was supposed to arrive tomorrow. did he come running by any chance?)
the knight commander seemed to have seen the flames rising in the orc nest, or heard about it from his men, and came in a hurry.
“i was thinking of taking down this orc nest.”
since he asked, i answered honestly. with over a hundred orc corpses spread out in front of me, it was easy to see what i was doing. i also got up and put my summons away, implying that the knight commander should not target the summons. i thought about leaving at least a bron for protection, but even that seemed unnecessary when i saw the knight commander strolling unperturbed in front of the orcs.
(he saw my summons.)
my summons were completely seen by the knight commander due to the timing.
the orc king thinks that a new hand has appeared, and his attention turns to the knight commander.
“i will defeat the orc king. the others are yours, vice- commander reivland.”
“yes! knight commander.”
(oh, i didn’t know the vice-commander was here too.)
the vice-commander appeared with a spear behind me and also walked past me.
perhaps annoyed by the knight commander’s overly relaxed attitude, the orc king swung his halberd down with all his might.
“gumooooooooo!!!”
the orc king, who might be four meters tall, took a swing with all his might. the halberd only was probably more than 2 meters long, but the knight commander easily caught it with one hand.
then, the knight commander flicked the halberd with a sword not even half the size of the halberd. it seems that the halberd alone was not enough to absorb the power, as the orc king with his 4 meter tall body was momentarily lifted into the air. perhaps the blow had gotten to his head, but the orc king swung the halberd with such force that my eyes could not keep up.
the fierce battle between the knight commander and the orc king began.
with the sparking battle between the knight commander and the orc king behind him, the vice commander shouldered his spear and advanced on the still surviving orc group. not a trace of fear could be read from his expression.
the few magic-using orcs who were still watching activated their magic. about three fireballs were generated in the sky above.
“magic.”
as the three settled in one part of the nest, the knights arrived. the knights also seem to have arrived ahead of the normal schedule.
(i have to get back before the sun goes down.)
i check the position of the sun. the sun has gone down by quite a bit.
this place is quite far from the city, and if i stay any longer, i won’t be able to return to the city by the end of the day. when i said i would go back to town, the knight commander told me to stay at the encampment because he would tell the baron later.
if the knight commander says so, i have no choice but to stay at the knight’s encampment.
the orc nest stunk, so the knights began to set up camp and prepare dinner a short distance from the nest.
i was watching from above with my eagle, and it looked like a hundred or so knights were present. it looks like this many knights are needed to clean up the orc nest. to be honest, i think the knight commander alone could do it, but i’m sure each one has their own role to play. it seems that power alone does not determine the number of people required in a mission.
the knights proceeded to prepare the encampment as if they were accustomed to it.
“allen, we’re gonna eat over here.”
“yes.”
as i stood in the corner watching, the knight commander asked me to join him for dinner. i sat by the fire and gobbled up the wild bird thighs he gave me.
“you attacked goblin nests too, didn’t you?”
“yes, i did.”
the knight commander frowned.
“as the head of the order, i would like to know what the situation is, are there any goblin nests ahead?”
“maybe not, since i’ve destroyed about 52 goblin nests.”
(i don’t know about any new nests that have been established recently, but i doubt there are any more goblin nests at the foot of the white dragon mountains.)
i have searched and eliminated all the goblin nests i could find via eagle and
“it is as i’ve heard, or more than i’ve heard.”
i started to buzz and say something.
“what? have you heard of it? what have you heard?”
in response to allen’s question, the knight commander began to speak. it was something that allen had been doing for a long time.
