The Author's POV Chapter 166: Immorra [3]

Chapter 166: Immorra [3]

The ground shook, and a loud metallic sound reverberated across a green field filled with rocks and trees. Shortly after the metallic sound was heard, a deep yet powerful voice shook the surroundings.

"Rangum Lunk tar guuul!"

Holding onto a large metallic axe dyed in what seemed to be black blood, was a tall, white, and muscular humanoid figure that had a large scar covering half of his face.

His heavy green eyes that were buried beneath his eye sockets, looked up towards the sky where a black humanoid creature with black horns and large bat-like wings stood.

Similarly looking back at his opponent, the black humanoid creature's blood-red eyes menacingly stared at the orc beneath him.

Neither one of them spoke, however, heavy tension prevailed over the surrounding.

"Khhrrr…khhrrr…"

With each breath, the orc took, turbid air escaped from his mouth making him look terrifying.

Behind him, over a thousand or so similar humanoid creatures stood with their backs straight wearing a thick metal armour that covered most of their facial features apart from their eyes. Every single one of them glared towards the sky where a similar number of demons stood in the air.

"Karum! Karum! Karum!"

Stabbing their weapons onto the ground, the ground shook as the orcs repeatedly chanted their war cry.

With every cry, they would rhythmically thump their weapons on the ground resulting in an oppressive feeling to shroud the surroundings.

Looking at the orcs beneath him, with a twisted s.a.d.i.s.tic smile on his face, the leading demon opened his mouth and chuckled.

"kekeke, laring mavil tum. Kalem tatunem ruviltem voil!"

Pointing his thumb towards his neck, the demon s.a.d.i.s.tically smiled towards the orc legion before him. Thereafter, he slashed his thumb past his neck as he excitedly shouted

"Kantar!"

Staring at the demon from below, unbothered by his provocation, the pale white orc raised his axe in the air and pointed it towards the demons in the air. Shortly after, his powerful voice once again shook the surroundings as he shouted.

"Gandam buuu!"

As soon as the white orc's voice traveled across the ear of each member, the orcs behind him raised their voices as they stabbed their weapons on the ground even more fiercely.

"Karum! Karum! Karum!"

Not long after, simultaneously lifting their weapons in the air, arching their thick frames back, the orcs threw their weapons in the air.

With unprecedented speed, the weapons that ranged from axes, hammers, broadswords to all kinds of other heavy weapons, hurtled towards the demons in the sky, splitting the air apart.

Screams echoed in the air, as the demons used their wings to protect themselves from the sudden attacks from the orcs.

"Kyeeeee—!

As the weapons collided with the wings of the demons, some of the demons were able to repel the weapons whilst others found their bodies completely crushed by the gigantic weapons headed in their direction.

Black blood spilt from the sky.

"Karum!"

With their hands in the air, as the weapons got repelled by the demons, a dark green hue shrouded the weapons that were still in the air. Suddenly the weapons that were falling on the ground sped back towards the orcs standing on the ground perfectly landing in the palm of their hands.

"Karum!"

Retrieving the weapons back, the orcs raised the weapons in the air as they chanted their war cry once again.

"Kyeeeee—!

Enraged by the orcs sudden attack, with their nails sharply protruding from their fingers, the demons dove down towards where the orcs were.

As they dove down on the ground, with each flap of their wings, their speed multiplied several folds leaving behind after images.

Not long after the demons attacked, blood started spilling from both sides as desperate roars and cries echoed across the expansive land.

"Holy f.u.c.k!"

Not so far from the confrontation, standing behind a ma.s.sive boulder, putting my finger on my lips I quietly whispered to Kevin who had almost cursed out loud.

"Don't scream and try to hide your presence as much as possible…"

Covering his mouth, Kevin nodded his head.

"Yeah"

"Good…"

Turning my attention back towards the fight in the distance, a solemn look appeared on my face.

As Kevin and I were making our way towards Gud Khodror, we suddenly heard the loud war-cry coming from the orcs.

The logical thing for Kevin and I to do once we heard the noise was to obviously move as far away as possible, however, that was not what we did.

…That was because I suddenly had an idea.

Turning my head towards Kevin, I softly whispered.

"Can you decipher what they are saying?"

To me, what they said made no sense.

The language that they were currently using was a language known as Lartvia, and was the main language that orcs used.

…as I didn't learn it, I understood nothing. Fortunately, I had a walking translator next to me.

Kevin and his system.

Frowning, with his eyes fixed towards the fight in the distance, Kevin responded.

"Yes I can…"

"Alright, tell me what you managed to understand"

Nodding his head, Kevin started speaking.

"To summarize what I've gathered from their conversation…the orc at the front of the other orcs is called Silug and he is a legion commander. According to what he said, there are a total of three thousand five hundred orcs in his command…"

Turning his attention towards the leader of the demons that stood in the air, Kevin continued

"On the other hand, the leader for the demon side seems to be a count ranked demon, which is equivalent to an A rank Hero. Although he didn't state the number of demons he has with him, it should be about the same"

Pausing for a second to gather his thoughts, after a couple of seconds Kevin continued.

"…regarding why they are fighting, I don't know. By the time we got here, the conflict was already escalating and so I wasn't able to get much"

Hearing Kevin's evaluation and translation, I nodded my head.

"That's fine…"

I didn't need to necessarily know why they were fighting.

That wasn't my goal here.

Turning his head in my direction, Kevin asked.

"So what do we do now?"

With my eyes fixed on the battle ahead, I responded

"…we wait"

"Wait?"

"Yeah, the time for us to move is not ripe yet"

"Not yet? Then what's your plan?"

What could they possibly gain from this fight?

…and what was the plan that Ren was talking about?

Kevin wanted to know.

"Here, come closer"

Seeing Kevin unsatisfied with my vague answer, sighing and urging for him to come closer, I explained to him my plan.

…the plan was rather simple, once everyone was distracted fighting, sneak in and camouflage into an orc by wearing their equipment and pretend to be one of them.

That was it. There was no grand plan behind it or anything like that.

Although there were other ways to enter Gud Khodror, directly entering from the entrance was probably the easiest and safest way to do it…well, at least compared to the other options.

Moreover, since orcs weren't the brightest creatures, by hiding in the ma.s.ses, Kevin and I could probably get away with this.

Though dangerous, it was the most appropriate plan at the moment.

As I slowly explained my plan to Kevin, not long after, he looked at me in disbelief as he said.

"You're crazy, if we do it that way, won't we be discovered? Moreover, what if one side loses?"

If the demons won and all of the orcs died, what was the point of sneaking in? Moreover, what if they got discovered by one of the orcs on the way back? Wouldn't that just spell instant death?

I mean, since they were surrounded they had no other option but to die.

…a single mistake and death awaited them, this plan was extremely risky.

"Don't worry…"

Pointing in the distance where the fight was happening, I looked at Kevin and said

"Take a look at the leaders of both sides, and tell me who looks calmer?"

"What do you mean…"

Though doubtful, peeking from the side of the boulder, Kevin observed the leader of both sides.

Currently, both sides were at a standstill with the orcs and demons fighting against each other.

Casualties started to pile up from both sides.

However, although there were casualties on both sides, in terms of numbers it seemed to be even as there were just about the same amount of orc corpses as demon corpses laying on the ground.

Taking his eyes off of the main battlefield, Kevin looked towards the respective leaders of both sides.

…and he soon noticed that neither one of them was moving.

Seeing their lack of action despite the fact that their subordinates were dying, caused Kevin to frown for a second…but he soon understood why they weren't moving.

With both sides being a lot stronger than their soldiers, if they moved then the aftershocks of their battle would affect their own troops. It would even be more devastating.

…simply put, the two of them couldn't fight just yet.

Recalling Ren's words, staring towards the faces of the two leaders, Kevin soon noticed a peculiar thing.

…and that was that compared to the orc leader, the count ranked demon had a frown on his face as he spectated the battle from below.

…Moreover, with each pa.s.sing minute the battle dragged, the deeper the frown on his face became.

This definitely meant something…suddenly, a certain idea came into his mind as he exclaimed in a small voice.

"Ah!"

Observing Kevin's reaction from the side, with a faint smile on my face, I looked at him and asked

"Now why would the orc leader be calmer than the count ranked demon?"

Taking his eyes off of the battle and looking back at me, Kevin slowly said

"…Reinforcements"

Pausing for a second, Kevin repeated in a low voice.

"Reinforcements for the orcs are coming"

Seeing that Kevin understood, the smile on my face deepened.

"Bingo! That's exactly it!"

With reinforcements coming from the orcs side, it was only natural that the battle would shift toward the orc's favor soon.

Therefore, after observing this fact, I knew that the plan was feasible. As Kevin too understood this point, he proceeded to nod his head.

"Alright…if you put it that way it makes sense"

"That's righ—"

Just as I was about to speak, cutting me off mid-sentence was a large rumbling sound coming from where the battlefield was as the ground beneath us shook fiercely. Abruptly turning my head towards the battlefield, I soon realized why.

"It seems like the count-ranked demon can't hold himself back anymore…I guess that's our queue"

Solemnly looking at me, Kevin nodded his head and said.

"Alright"

"Let's g-hold on"

Just as I was about to sneak into the battlefield, recalling something and taking out a couple of potions from my pocket I threw them at Kevin.

"Take this, you're going to need them. Make sure that once you're in the orc armor you chug all the potions I gave you down"

Grabbing onto the potions that I threw at him, a look of confusion appeared on Kevins' face.

"What are the-"

Just as he was about to ask about the potions, I had already disappeared from my spot leaving him standing alone behind the rock we were peeking from.

"d.a.m.n it, at least tell me what I need to use them for!"

Cursing out loud, Kevin glared at where I used to be and proceeded to head towards the battle as well.

"How careless…"

Hearing Kevin's shout from the distance, I couldn't help but shake my head.

Fortunately, the loud sound from the battles had drowned out his shouting, else they would've caught him already.

I felt a bit sorry for leaving without explaining what the potions did, but…

…It's just that I really wanted to join in on the fun.
