Chapter 171: Monster Wave 2
“Kuck! Kuk!”
A lot of time had passed .
Marvin, using every little ounce of strength left in his body, stopped running as he felt like he was about to faint .
He stopped for a moment and tried to catch his breath . He kept on looking around nervously .
There weren’t any orcs around the place .
Luckily, he seemed to have gotten away from the pursuit of the orcs .
But there was a huge problem for him .
Because he was hurriedly trying to avoid getting killed by the orcs, he ran to the west and not the east where the border fort was located .
Going back there all alone would need three days .
‘I need to go back alive no matter what!’
There was a woman he liked .
Mary, the daughter of the leather craftsman, who was very pretty and famous in the entire village .
It wasn’t just one or two men who had been trying to have her hand, but Marvin had no intention of dying without trying to tell her how he felt .
‘I’ll live, and then I’ll marry her!’
Telling himself to have strength, he decided to go south and return to the fort .
From that moment, he went on a journey that required stealth and not speed, so he intended to be as careful as possible .
However, luck didn’t seem to be on his side .
Suddenly, he encountered an orc that came from a bush .
The orc, which was surprised to see a human, took its ax but was struck by Marvin .
“Kiiik! A human here!”
The moment the orc screamed . The other orcs began to flock around .
Marvin had managed to outrun his death .
Kiik! Kik!
Ugh! Owww-!
The orcs were very strong but were slow, so he could outrun them .

The only problem was the wolves they domesticated .
It was never easy to get away from the wolves who had a keen sense of smell and fast feet .
‘I’m doomed! If I don’t manage to make it…!’
Looking around with a nervous heart, he found a thin stream of water flowing nearby .
His eyes shined with hope . He ran straight toward the water . He cleared his trail and went up the valley .
Since he did it well, the orcs nor their wolves seemed to have stopped pursuing him .
“Phew, I have managed to live for now . ”
Exhaling with a sigh of relief, Marvin turned to look at a large rock . Shocked at what he was seeing, he tried to rub his eyes to see clearly .
As if he was hit by a thunderbolt, his entire body trembled .
“This, this is…!”
The valley was full of beast hides,
The problem was that the leader of the cluster of monsters had orcs, goblins, and kobolds gathered together .
In addition, large monsters like trolls and ogres were crouched in several places .
‘Ah, I don’t get it . Why are they all here!?’
The monsters, which usually killed the other monsters upon seeing them, didn’t move like their natural behavior . They were gathering together .
Moreover, Marvin found another strange thing about the monsters .
In addition to the orcs, there were a lot of monsters wearing weapons and armors and flags of dragons scattered everywhere .
‘This is like some kind of an army . Some kind of barbaric monster army…’
Marvin looked around him but wasn’t able to understand it .
And that… was the last expression that he made .
Tuk, Drrrk!
Marvin’s neck got cut by the ax of an orc, which appeared from behind .
Marvin was on the floor . He was taken down by the leader of the orcs . He was wearing a mask decorated with feather and obsidian .

The leader orc wore a steel breastplate like a human, and his body was covered with bizarre tattoos .
The leader orc smiled through his mask . He lifted his foot and stepped on Marvin’s head .
Kwak!
After removing the intruder, he walked into the crowd of orcs and lifted his long sword to the air .
“Kwekk! Shaikan!”
“Shaikan! Shainkan!”
The orcs called him Shaikan . The monsters couldn’t speak clearly, yet they shouted his name .
Shaikan .
The orcs referred to him as a God, or a strong being comparable to a God .
Humans called such orcs with unusual abilities… Orc Hero .
As soon as the Orc Hero appeared, the orcs and the monsters began to seize the meadows at a frightening pace .
Gathering all the orcs in the western Navarre grassland, he ordered all the warrior races to start collecting monsters for the battle .
That was how a legion of 50,000 monsters was created .
Swiping the valley, the Orc Hero yelled while holding a large sword in his hand .
“Finally, the time of prophecy has come! Troops advance!”
At the command of the Orc Hero, all the monsters that filled the valley began to run toward the Navarre duchy .
