43. Orc Liberator.

43. Orc Liberator.

The sun had already set, and the men were waiting in the darkness for a signal.

‘I have to do it!’

Lieutenant Audrey Russell bit her lip.

There seemed to be some kind of firm determination in his expression.

Ensign Herman, who was standing next to him, had a look of despair on his face.

“Huh! A banquet? Isn’t that crazy? The soldiers are dying on the front lines······.”

“Those in power don’t treat their soldiers like expendables. It’s actually a good thing, since they’re all gathered in one place.”

“Lieutenant Audrey, aren’t you getting too close? Didn’t the captain tell you to give him a good beating from above?”

Herman asked cautiously.

They were now too close to the Albion royal palace.

“Captain Alain trusted us and entrusted us with an important mission. We must repay his kindness. So, we will attack the palace ourselves.”

“Isn’t it a bit dangerous? Even if there are no knights of the Aerial Magic, there will be those who have awakened other magic spells, and there will be a considerable number of security forces.”

“This is the palace of Albion. It is where the enemy of Atlan lives. There is no point in attacking it carelessly. So trust me and follow me!”

“yes.”

Lieutenant Herman answered with a worried look in his eyes.

It was nice to do something for Captain Alain, but it was still too close to the ground.

That meant you could get hit by an enemy’s blind rifle.

That was it!

Chi-chik!

– Start attacking.

The signal finally came.

Chi-chik!

“Okay! Let’s begin.”

Lieutenant Audrey, who had sent the radio message, looked at Ensign Herman with a gleam in her eyes.

“From now on, you take charge of the radio.”

“yes?”

Audrey, who had handed over the radio, nodded toward the agents.

“Everyone, let’s get started!”

At Lieutenant Audrey’s command, the men simultaneously pulled out the safety pins of their magic grenades and took up positions.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Grenades were thrown at the palace guards standing guard and at the guard posts.

Boom! Kwakwakwakwak!

The magic grenade exploded with a loud noise.

“All attack!”

Lieutenant Audrey stepped forward, aimed her rifle, and flew towards the palace.

Her eyes were a beautiful emerald color.

And a magic circle with sparks flying in front of the rifle flashed.

This means using explosive techniques and lightning skills.

‘Nest!’

As she used the skill again, her eyes turned a deeper blue and the magic circle doubled in size.

And then lightning flashed in front of the rifle.

Chuck! Taang!

Kwaaaaang! Crackle!

Her overlapping lightning skills shattered windows and exploded the banquet hall.

“Shoot! Put a bullet in the enemy’s heart!”

“Death to the enemy!”

Bang! Tata tang! Phuong!

The 3rd and 4th squadron members used their skills and fired their rifles toward the palace.

Kwaaaaang! Hwarurur!

At that moment, black smoke rose from the center of the city along with an explosion.

It was the 1st squadron that attacked the capital police headquarters.

And flames also rose from the weapons factory complex on the northwest side of the lake. So the 2nd squadron also began its attack.

When the capital of Albion began to be attacked, Alain entered the Oak Gate.

***

Brrrr! Squeak!

‘This wasteland is the Orc dimension?’

Hot sun and barren land.

The river was so dry that the bottom was visible.

Torn tents everywhere and countless orcs strewn about.

What on earth happened to this land?

It seemed more serious than what Duncan had described.

My men and I got out of the truck.

“Kook!”

“Oak!”

As we pulled over, dozens of orcs approached and started taking crates of canned goods out of the back of the truck.

‘Orcs are this gentle?’

I thought he would run to me like a squirrel when he saw something to eat, but I was surprised.

How on earth did the Chieftain tame the orcs?

We brought about ten thousand cans.

The story goes that two orcs share one can of food.

That was really survival level.

“Huh! There’s an orc lining up?”

“Wow! You’re smart.”

A truly amazing scene unfolded.

The orcs gathered in a crowd and lined up in front of the box.

Then, they each took a can, opened the lid with their fingers, and started sharing it.

A green monster that can tear off human limbs and rip off entire heads?

I don’t think I would have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.

“First, find out where the Orc Chieftain is!”

Sergeant Phelps pointed to one side.

“Isn’t it over there?”

What Phelps was pointing to was the tent that was in the best condition.

And two giant orcs were guarding it.

“I feel a strong mana there.”

“Then it must be there.”

I looked at the members.

“You never know what might happen. Get in the truck and get ready to go.”

“yes!”

I put the dimensional translator in my ear and approached the tent alone.

“No humans allowed in!”

“I want to meet your chieftain.”

“Kook?”

When I said Orcish, the two guys looked surprised.

“Let them in.”

Then a voice was heard from inside.

“Humans, come in!”

I went into the tent.

‘Huh? What kind of scholar’s room is this?’

Inside the tent, thousands of books were neatly arranged on the shelves.

And there were two half-orcs with really pointy ears and sharp looking faces.

The man was sitting behind the desk, and the woman was standing, holding a window on one side.

“How can a human speak Orcish?”

The man asked in the language of our world.

“How does that chieftain speak continental language?”

“I learned by taking human prisoners. And then I negotiated with you.”

He knew I was from the Kingdom of Albion.

“Let’s say I learned from the orcs too. Should we get to know each other?”

“If you want.”

“I am Major Alain Bombard. I belong to the Kingdom of Atlan.”

“Huh? The Kingdom of Atlan?”

The orc chieftain opened his eyes wide.

“Did the Kingdom of Albion lose the war?”

“Defeat was inevitable, but not yet.”

The chieftain made an incomprehensible expression, then stood up and held out his hand.

“My name is Orksha. I am the chieftain of the Iri tribe.”

But I didn’t shake hands.

“You are very suspicious.”

“Isn’t that the great advantage of being human?”

“That’s also a disadvantage.”

Why is this half-orc so good at talking?

No need for an interpreter.

“I have a question. Can I ask you something?”

“Ask.”

“Creating a dimensional gate······.”

“If it’s a gate generator, I can’t give it to you.”

“uh?”

For a moment, it felt like I had been hit in the head with a hammer.

He noticed before I even finished speaking.

How did you know what I wanted?

Did the Albion guys also notice that the Orcs have a dimensional gate generator? And did they threaten to give it to them?

“You are indeed very suspicious. To be honest, I have been waiting for you to come for a very long time.”

What kind of nonsense is this?

The Orksha Chieftain said something strange.

“You knew you’d meet me?”

“Of course, I didn’t know his name, his face, or when. But my mother definitely said that some human would come and liberate the orcs.”

“What? Free the orcs?”

The chieftain continued to speak in a similar tone.

“Is your mother a prophet or something?”

Orksha grinned, baring his fangs.

“Similar. My mother was a high elf. She had the ability to see the future of living things when she touched them. And she told me my future.”

“That future is the current situation?”

Orksha nodded.

“Where is that high elf? If he’s an elf, he must live a very long time.”

“The ability to see the future comes at a great cost. It eats away at one’s own lifespan. That’s why he died young.”

Orksha answered with a forlorn expression.

“If anyone asks about the dimensional gate generator, Mother said that it is the one who will free our tribe from this desolate dimension. Now! Let’s hear how you will free the orcs.”

Are you really seeing the future?

Are high elves different from just elves?

I’ll have to ask Evolod later.

“If I’m the one who’s going to liberate the orcs, why bother listening to me? Why don’t you just follow me?”

Orksha chuckled.

“My mother never told me that there would be only one person who would ask for the dimensional gate generator. If it wasn’t you, I would have killed you and waited for someone else.”

WHEEW! Chooring!

In an instant, the female half-orc next to her aimed her long spear.

Just looking at his movements, it didn’t seem like he would lose even if he fought Evolod, the elf prince.

I thought about pulling out my gun and firing a shot, but held back.

“Don’t you have a chair? You don’t treat guests well. I’m a hero who was supposed to liberate 20,000 orcs······.”

“Kook! Chieftain, this guy doesn’t seem right. Let’s just kill him!”

The female half-orc next to me looked very angry.

“Okalin, stop. But I still need to hear the story. Bring me a chair!”

“Crrrrrrr!”

Okarlin put away his spear, grumbled, and brought a chair from behind the bookshelf.

It was an orc chair that could seat two humans.

And Okarlin stood at the entrance to the tent behind me, as if trying to prevent me from escaping.

Orksha waited a moment for me to speak.

“Give the orcs enough food to fill their bellies right away. I am not as stingy as the people of Albion.”

“and?”

“And then we take care of the guys guarding outside the gate, and get all the orcs out here.”

“Is that the end?”

“Then isn’t it liberated?”

Orksha seemed displeased with my answer.

“If that was all we could have done, we would have all run out as soon as the dimensional gate opened. And we would have fought to the death with the humans.”

“I was wondering that too, why didn’t you do that?”

I asked because I was really curious.

“Long ago, our mother had already seen the destruction of the five tribes. She had seen the future of the chieftains. It was a fate that could not be changed. However, my father, the chieftain of the Iri tribe, and the orcs of the tribe believed her words. As a result, we became the last surviving orc tribe.”

So does that mean that the high elf is following the future he saw for himself?

The last okra······.

The last tribe of orcs were the 20,000 orcs here and the 2,000 war orcs fighting with shotguns on the front lines.

And before our eyes, a half-orc could be the last warchief.

“Okay! Do you have anything else to say?”

For a moment, I felt an eerie sensation behind me.

Maybe Okarin is aiming his spear at me?

Well then, I guess I should get to the real point.

“Give me the land.”

“······?”

“There is a land that is roughly several thousand kilometers long.”

“what?”

Orksha raised his hand.

Then Okarlin took a step back.

“It’s a place with thick forests, wide open lands and rivers, and an abundance of flora and fauna. It’s the perfect place for orcs to live.”

“Are you giving us that land?”

“No! I don’t have the ability to do that. But if you guys pioneer, it’s possible.”

“What does that mean?”

“I will help you take possession of that land. Besides, not a single human lives there.”

“Is there really such a land?”

“It’s a dimensional gate!”

Orksha opened his eyes wide.

I told him about the great gate in the mountains beyond the Havelock Wall.

The dimensional gate was created and those who initially entered it spoke.

It was said that the inside of the gate was as lush and vast as a jungle, with nature breathing inside.

However, the one who took control of the inside of the gate and the valley leading to it was the D-class dimensional monster, Tuuptani.

During the breeding season, a large group of Tuuptani, who were pushed out in a territory war, swarm in at once, creating waves and spreading without stopping.

Orksha touched his chin with his hand and sat lost in thought.

“You could fight the dimensional monsters there for years, maybe decades, maybe your entire life. But I will do my best to help you drive them away. So prove to yourself that you too are a species that can survive!”

“Orcs are a race that originally grew stronger and more united through fighting. They are not afraid of battle.”

“So are you making a deal?”

“Would you like to shake my hand?”

“huh?”

Suddenly? A handshake?

“You can see the future too, right?”

Orksha shook his head.

“If my mother’s power is the sun, I am like a firefly. I only see a small fragment of the future.”

“Really? So you’re saying you saw a little bit of it?”

Orksha nodded.

I was curious and a little reluctant to see my future.

But if I didn’t shake hands, Orksha would probably not trust me anymore.

Honestly, if the Orcs deal with the dimensional monsters beyond the wall, I will have fulfilled a long-held wish of the Havelock Estate.

This is not about whoever guards the wall becoming the lord, but rather making it unnecessary to guard the wall.

What other way could be more certain than that of becoming a lord!

“good night!”

I reached out and took Orksha’s hand.

I didn’t feel anything special.

For a moment, Orksha’s body trembled slightly.

And then he immediately let go of my hand.

It’s over already?

His expression was indifferent.

“What did you see? My future isn’t bleak or anything, is it?”

I started to feel a little worried.

“I don’t know either. I only see a piece.”

“So what is it?”

“I can’t explain it with my current knowledge. But we, the Iri tribe, will follow Alain Bombard’s words.”

“what?”

In the end, I was never able to hear an explanation about my future.

However, he decided to receive cooperation from 20,000 orcs.

“Dimensional Gate Generator?”

“I’m not an idiot. I’ll check the dimensional gate you mentioned.”

“Okay! First, let’s open the gift bundle for Orc.”

I went outside and continued pulling out boxes of canned goods from the alchemist’s workshop.

And Lieutenant Phelps also continued pulling out canned goods.

“Eat well! Eat well to gain strength!”

The orcs began to eat hastily, holding canned food in both hands.

“Okay! He’s a good person!”

“Kook! Kook!”

The orcs cheered at me.

Originally, the person who gives food to others is the best person in the world.

I was being a good person to the orcs.

And it was like fate.

***

As Alain Bombard left the tent, Grand Master Okarlin looked at Orksha and asked:

“Chief, what on earth did you see that makes you trust that human?”

“I honestly don’t know what I saw. But he is the Orc Liberator. He asked about the dimensional gate generator.”

Orksha took a book from the shelf, then took a piece of paper from between the pages.

“My mother said that the human here is an orc liberator.”

Okarlin looked surprised.

The paper depicted a human sitting across from Orksha at a desk.

And behind him, Okarin was also standing holding a spear.

***

Chi-chik!

“Lieutenant Audrey, can you hear me?”

Chi-chik!

– Yes! This is Lieutenant Herman. I can hear you.

“Huh? Why do you have a walkie-talkie?”

– Lieutenant Audrey left it to me.

“Lieutenant Audrey?”

– It is now madly casting explosive spells towards the Albion Royal Palace.

“what?”

Are you following us here to fight?

Maybe he was someone who enjoyed the fighting itself.

Or is it that the Atlan royal family is venting their anger on the Albion royal family?

Anyway, I was doing well.

It seemed like the number of troops guarding this place had decreased somewhat.

I looked at the orc warriors.

“Everyone get on the truck!”

Grandmaster Okarlin raised his spear high and shouted.

“Ook! Orcs are strong!”

“Kook! Kook!”

Okarlin and ninety orc warriors, armed with axes and swords, rode in three large trucks.

The siege must be lifted by oneself.
