Chapter 45

“Kurk! Untie me! Right now!”

Violin continued to yell while struggling .

Kurk didn’t react at all as if he had become deaf .

‘I’m sorry . ’

He let out a sigh and looked backwards .

‘They really are chasing us . ’

The spearmen were chasing them while yelling .

‘Even so it’s impossible to catch up to us who are riding lopuses . ’

Different than the horses, the lopuses didn’t lose that much mobility in the forest .

‘Now that I look, I can’t see the enemy’s cavalry?’

It was a weird thing .

‘Are they maybe ambushing us in the forest?’

But in the end he shook his head .

If it was a normal commander, he wouldn’t do such things as hiding the cavalry to launch an ambush .

‘The important thing right now isn’t that . ’

Kurk threw away the complicated thoughts in his head .

‘Sons of bitches . I will certainly pay you back for today . ’

He ground his teeth and kicked the lopus .

He could see the exit of Riten forest from far away .

The white light between the trees seemed like the door to heaven .

A faint smile appeared on his face .

‘If we just get out the…… . ’

Then, Kurk’s face stiffened .

Because an amazing path of fire surged from the entrance of the forest .

‘Flames?!’

Kurk looked at his surroundings with a really nervous expression .

Fortunately, there were no more places that were set on fire .

‘Damn . So they are blocking our escape route?’

They lacked oil to set the entire forest on fire .

But even so, it wasn’t that the fire stayed still .

It was obvious that the fire would spread to the insides of the forest through the west wind .

“Sir adjutant Kurk!”

All the orcs stopped and looked at Kurk .

Kurk’s eyes rolled quickly .

‘We charge through like this? No . Charging through the path of fire is impossible . ’

The flames were burning fiercely with the help of the wind .

‘The south is blocked with the gorge, and the humans are attacking us from the east . The place that’s left is…… . ’

His sight goes to the north .

Sleion river .

‘Although the riverside is a bit narrow…… . ’

Even so, it wasn’t so narrow for them to not be able to move .

‘We follow the riverside and retreat to the west . ’

It was a much safer route than charging through the flames .

Kurk pointed to the north .

“We will follow Sleion river and retreat to the west!”

“Yes! Understood!”

The orcs replied in one voice and pulled the reins .

The lopuses turned to head towards the north and started to run .

Kurk looked at the red flames and clicked his tongue .

‘We completely fell . We completely fell by the hands of the human bastards . ’

He ground his teeth .

‘Everything hadwould have been a plan and strategy since we discovered the humans in the entrance of Riten forest . ’

They just reacted and moved towards the places the humans wanted them to go into their trap .

‘Damn . ’

Anger surged up .

‘I will certainly pay you back for what happened today . ’

Kurk ground his teeth and glared his front .

It was difficult to see clearly because of the white smoke .

‘Anyways, it doesn’t seem like they are setting the forest on fire any more . ’

It seemed like the humans couldn’t plan up to this point .

Then, the orcs that were in the front got out of the forest and arrived at the narrow riverside .

Flash!

The smoke disappeared and a beautiful scene was spread outspread .

The golden side and the flashing blue river .

The green plains that extends beyond Sleion river .

Everything was beautiful .

Except for one thing .

‘Thi, this…… . ’

Expressions as if they couldn’t believe this at all .

“How can this be!”

Kurk couldn’t hold it anymore and yelled .

He looked at the front and the rear alternating with a stiffened face .

The human cavalry were taking place on the west and the east with Violin’s troop at the center .

‘Damn! Just how far are you seeing things through!’

Kurk was curious as to what the man that set up this perfect trap looked like .

He didn’t know that Roan was responsible for this strategy .

Meanwhile Gale, who was leading the cavalry, glared at the orcs and put on an ill smile .

‘Everything is like Roan’s plans . ’

In the first place, Roan thought up a strategy to massacre the orcs that got out of the forest by using flames with the wagon fortress .

But there were two big problems in the flame strategy .

The first one was that they really lacked oil .

The second was that the west wind continued to blow without stop .

In the end, Roan had to pluck and fix the strategy to make it perfect .

‘I send Violin’s troop to the gorge by showing them soldiers spreading oil on purpose . After that, we push them to Riten forest with wagon fortresses . ’

Because of that, Violin’s troop get to enter Riten forest with a west direction and face the opposite blowing wind .

‘Even if I don’t have that much oil, the fire can cover the orcs with the help of the wind . ’

Actually, the orc troop didn’t have any choice . a right for choices .

The place that they could run off to escape the fire was only to the north, where the Sleion river was located .

When the orc troop gets tired by the continuous attacks, they attack them with the cavalry they hid until now . they would attack them with the cavalry they’ve hidden until now .

This was Roan’s ultimate strategy .

And for this, Roan sent the order to Gale and the cavalry to wait on Sleion’s riverside .

‘He certainly said that they would flee towards here . ’

And those words became true .

Gale looked at the orcs with fixed eyes .

‘It’s became time to end the battle . ’

He raised his right hand highly .

“Attack!”

A loud yell .

“Waaaaaaaa!”

“Kill them!”

“Don’t let even one of them escape!”

The cavalrymen started to charge forward with a fierce intent along with the yell that shook the earth .

“Kuk! Damn it!”

Kurk ground his teeth .

He had nowhere else to escape to .

The fire was being eaten by the flames, and in front of their eyes the Sleion river was flowing calmly .

On top of that, the lopuses were also tired .

“Damn!”

He cursed out and cut off the rope that tied up Violin .

“Go . ”

“What?”

Violin frowned at Kurk’s words .

Kurk gave her his lopus and yelled .

“We are going to die here . If it’s already been decided……”

His eyes got filled with madness .

“Take revenge for Sir Sedek . ”

At those words Violin bit her lower lip with strength .

Kurk yelled once more .

“Go! We will block them here!”

Violin looked at Kurk’s two eyes fixedly .

And then, she hardly gripped the reins and nodded .

“Let’s meet in hell . ”

At those words Kurk burst out in laughter .

“I will be waiting for you first . ”

A farewell .

Violin quickly kicked the lopus .

Her eyes were already tainted with madness .

Now, there was no need to hold onto the rope of sanity .

Kuong!

The lopus let out a cry and started to run towards the forest .

“Huh?!”

“Huh!”

Gale and the cavalrymen looked at her with surprised looks .

“Catch her!”

“Get her!”

At Gale’s and the adjutants orders, the soldiers grabbed the reins .

Then, Kurk and the other orcs blocked their front .

“We can’t send you!”

“Where do you want to go!”

They were already determined to die .

In the end, the cavalry ended up losing Violin .

“Kuak!”

“Kek!”

The yells of the orcs that were on the side were heard continuously .

Kurk looked at the spears flying towards him and then closed his eyes .

‘A warrior thinks that dying in the battlefield is glorious . ’

Stab .

“Kuk . ”

A sharp spear stabbed in his chest .

Gale looked at Riten forest and let out a sigh .

‘Did we miss the most important troop commander?’

Looking at the situation, it seemed like she went to find Roan .

‘In the end, it seems like Roan has to end this battle . ’

This battle was really a battle based on Roan .

Gale’s sight followed Violin’s back who couldn’t even be seen .

‘Nothing has to happen . ’

Riten forest was filled with white smoke because of the fire .

A situation where it was difficult to look in front .

‘I don’t know why but it feels comfortable . ’

He tasted bitterness in his mouth .

An uneasy feeling flowed back his spine .

*****

‘This much is enough . ’

Roan looked at the forest that was half gulped down by the flames in an instant and let out a long sigh .

The orcs fled to the riverside just like he had thought .

‘They would get massacred in the ambush . ’

If they meet with the cavalry Gale was leading, everything would get solved .

From Flam mountain gorge, to the wagon fortress and buckets, and finally the flame attack in Riten forest and the ambushing cavalry .

The orcs went through many things in a short while .

‘They will be out of their mind . ’

Roan’s corner of his mouth slightly raised . The corner of Roan’s mouth slightly rasied .

He clapped and yelled with all his strength .

“Now! Everyone, we are falling back to outside the forest!”

The orcs had already charged to a deep part of the forest .

There was no need to chase their back anymore .

On top of that, the smoke was filling the forest entirely .

“Yes! Understood!”

The soldiers replied in a loud voice and moved quickly .

Because their eyes and nose hurt because of the white smoke .

“Cough . Cough . It seems like sir adjutant is fine . I’m almost dying . ”

Lander looked at Roan while fanning with his hands .

Roan just put a faint smile instead of replying .

‘It’s all because of Kalian’s tear and Brent’s ring . ’

Actually, the part of his eyes not hurting and not feeling any heat were things he had already expected .

But he didn’t know that he would be fine after breathing in smoke .

It certainly smelled like smoke, but his nose and mouth weren’t uncomfortable or hurt .

‘The abilities Brent’s ring has may be more various than what I thought . ’

On top of that, the white forest that was filling the forest couldn’t obstruct Roan’s sight .

It wasn’t that he could see clearly, but even so he could see more clearly than normal people .

‘Searching for each ability that Kalian’s tear and Brent’s ring haves will also be fun . ’

Roan smiled brightly and touched his ring .

He, and the 12th squad protected the forest until the end .

They were looking thoroughly for any orc that got left behind .

“It seems like they all retreated . ”

Austin approached while fanning with his hand .

Roan nodded .

“Good . Then we are also getting out of the forest . ”

At those words, Lander smacked his lips as if it was regrettable .

“It’s so regrettable that we lost Violin, that crazy orc bitch . This battle that was planned by sir adjutant Roan from start to end will end up in the hands of another person . ”

“I don’t care much . ”

Roan shrugged his shoulders .

Lander, that looked that, clenched his fists tightly .

“If you don’t want to, at least I can… . . ”

“Stop talking . Please . What are you going to do after you catch Violin?”

Austin frowned and rebuked .

At those words, Lander hit his armor .

“I want to place an adjutant badge on my armor after catching that bitch . Only then will you, vice squad commander, not be able to say anything to me . ”

“What?”

Austin raised his hand as if he was going to hit him at any moment .

Lander acted as if he got really frightened by that and started to run in front .

Roan looked at that and smiled .

‘Even so, it’s fortunate that everyone is safe . ’

On a battlefield where tens of people, and thousands of people died, no one from the 12th squad died . died from the 12th squad .

They did receive big and small wounds, but they keptwere still keeping their lives .

‘Now that it became like this, I would like it if I can stay with everyone until the end . ’

Roan looked at the back of the squad members and took in a deep breath .

That was because he knew really well that it would be difficult .

Then, Lander who was walking in front, looked at his surroundings and yelled .

“Where are you everyone? Come, come quickly please . ”

Meanwhile, the smoke got denser and it became difficult to differentiate what was in front of you .

Roan looked back .

Tadak . Tadadak .

The sound of the flames eating up the trees was heard .

Every now and againonce and then, white and black smoke surged up .

‘Huh?’

Then, a really small and displeasing sound was heard .

‘A sound that shakes the ground……’

He quickly turned his head towards the place the sound was heard .

At that instant, Roan’s two eyes became round .

“Violin!”

He could see Violin running through between the smoke .

“Yes? That was sir adjutant right now, right? You said Violin? Just because I made a joke right now, even you are… . . ”

When Lander talked up to then .

The white smoke got pushed .

Roan looked at the scattering smoke fixedly .

The whole world’s movement became slow .

Spaaat!

The lopus that charged through the smoke really slowly .

And Violin that was swinging the blade on top of the lopus .

Roan opened his eyes abruptly and yelled .

“Lander! Dodge!”

The loud yell rang throughout the forest .

Lander, who was looking around looking for Roan, lowered his body with a surprised look .

Slash!

The blade that pierced through the smoke instantly cut off Lander’s neck .

“No!”

Lander’s face was chopped off in front ofgot hardly stabbed in Roan’s two eyes .

The head that fell to the ground really slowly .

The light in his eyes still didn’t go off .

Roan raised his spear and ran towards Lander .

“Wha, what happened?!”

“Sir adjutant?”

The 12th squad members, that had it difficult to look at the front, shook their hands and followed Roan’s back .

“Lander!”

Roan cried out while holding Lander’s head .

“Uaaaaaaaaaaa!”
