Episode 219 – You Must Make a Decision Before Survival
Of the orcs, the only survivors were women, children, and those who were now retired warriors.
They went deep into the forest to hold on to the last thread of survival.
Strange things started happening here and there, but it had nothing to do with them.
Now their leader, Forest Sky led the orc tribe to a safer place.
Large bugs, snakes, and other creatures dangerous to normal humans threatened them, but their strong physical abilities allowed them to move further inside.
“Whew… … I think we can at least secure a minimum level of safety at this point.”
“How are you going to conquer the top?”
“I plan to inform my fellow countrymen. There must be some who have already entered.”
Although they are united under a chieftain, orcs prefer to live in tribal units.
So that I can fight when I want and die when I want.
The forest sky looked at the towering towers here and there and worried about the chieftain.
“Something clearly happened, and I wonder if you’re okay there.”
“First, we will build a foundation.”
“Okay. You’ll need a place to eat and sleep.”
The forest sky clearly saw the gate opening and something pouring down.
I told the other orcs not to worry, but the smart ones already knew.
This time, the entire race could disappear.
The commotion has died down.
What happened to those who climbed to the top?
The forest sky looked at its people who began to cut down the giant tree, and its worry only grew.
‘If the Chieftain’s axe were to fall into the hands of another tribe… … .’
If a tribe had a grudge against their chieftain, they would be wiped out.
The situation was not good in many ways.
For now, all I can do is hold my breath and live while waiting for an opportunity…
Orcs are a race with excellent reproductive capacity.
With just a few months of effort, you should be able to secure a lot of young orcs.
In a year, a herd so large it will cover the entire forest.
The forest sky clenched its fists and wanted to go deeper into the shade.
If only a silver wind hadn’t suddenly poured down from the sky.
Kurrururur-!
A gust of wind blew so strong that it shook huge trees.
Even in a situation where he could not open his eyes, Forest Sky instinctively took out his weapon.
The voice heard in the middle of the wind belonged to a beautiful woman.
“You were hiding here, my lord.”
“Oh my, I better summon Nergo quickly… … .”
“Oh, did I fly too fast? Looks like I still need to adjust.”
“I’m just an ordinary person… … .”
The voice of a man who had flown with the power of the wind was also heard.
Easy-.
The wind blew in all directions, scattering dust.
Those who were conversing peacefully felt an overwhelming mana that was frightening.
Something you can know because you are a combat species.
Orcs had the ability to instinctively sense the strength of their opponents.
Until that strength reached a certain level, it inspired boundless pride.
‘But the author… … .’
In that moment, I remembered who had been their ruler.
The one who brought the Orc race into the abyss of destruction.
Nidhogg, the incarnation of war, gnawed at the World Tree with his seven serpent minions.
There was someone similar to him, perhaps even stronger, right in front of me.
The forest sky instinctively sensed extinction.
An orc’s pride may be broken, but it will not be bent, except by the axe of the chieftain.
However, his resolve crumbled the moment he saw the giant axe the woman was holding.
“Isn’t that the Chieftain’s axe?”
“The owner of this axe attacked us and died. Do you want to have it?”
“… … .”
Does the author know what he is saying?
The Chieftain’s Axe.
It was a symbol of authority that would allow them to rule over the entire race of Orcs and become their masters.
A weapon that only the most powerful orcs can wield.
It was also a peerless weapon that would never break or bend.
[You have met all the conditions of the Chieftain.]
[You have met the conditions to accept the Orc race as a summon.]
“……huh?”
Suddenly, a really absurd message popped up.
Wait, what happens to training like this?
A small burning bonfire.
There were two races that could never get along sitting around a campfire.
Normally, humans and orcs would fight back and forth, but with the help of the chieftain’s axe, a temporary truce was reached.
The rest of the orcs were busy preparing their homes even though it was night.
“So, the Chieftain… … .”
“That’s what happened. I almost died too.”
“What should we do now? If things continue this way, all orcs will surely become extinct.”
Hwanung rested his chin on his hand and thought.
I remembered the message that came to mind earlier.
If orcs can be accepted as summons, what about training?
Should I ask Ravi?
“First of all, if you have the Chieftain’s Axe, is that enough to qualify as the Chieftain of the Orcs?”
“That’s true.”
“Hmm… … There is one summoner that goes well with orcs.”
Narae, who had been sitting quietly and looking at the axe, opened her mouth.
Because she also had someone in mind.
“If it’s that bearded man, it definitely suits you. I think we’d both be a good match.”
“The question is whether Galion is strong enough to gain the orcs’ recognition?”
“He will be more than qualified.”
“Are you trying to unite us already?”
The forest sky crept in.
Hwanung nodded as if it was obvious.
If you can control an orc, you can quickly learn how to train people to death.
However, there were some areas of concern.
“The problem is that the messenger and the system don’t know what number to put.”
“Perhaps we could impose harsher conditions.”
“What I’m saying is, if you don’t listen, it seems like their way is to come out even stronger… … .”
Honestly, I didn’t like it.
They set the table as they please, and we just play on it.
I realized this during the recent Matthias incident.
We need more summons that are stronger, more numerous, and can respond to anything.
It would certainly be good if one’s own strength were strong.
However, you shouldn’t wish for something that doesn’t exist.
‘Let’s keep collecting summons. We’ll definitely do the grinding, and we’ll also get information and rewards.’
Since Ravi said he’d help me, I should make the most of it.
He heard more detailed stories from the forest sky.
You need to have a high level of understanding of the Orcs so that you can use them appropriately.
“Orcs live in tribes. And the one who unites them all is the chieftain.”
“If it’s the Chieftain’s order, do I have to follow it unconditionally?”
“It is not compulsory, but it is considered an honor. Of course, only when the order is justified.”
“Hmm… … . Then, there is no need to unite all races.”
Should I start by absorbing the tribe I like?
The forest sky looked at Hwanung, who was struggling while stroking his chin, and expressed his concern.
“And we will not commit fratricide. Never.”
“Really? That would be better. I can grab the board and shake it as I please.”
“What does that mean?”
The picture Hwanung drew was simple.
Those who want peace will be allowed to live in peace.
As Hwanung’s summoned beast.
On the other hand, those who wish to have conflict with humans here will live that way.
‘Instead, I must continue to climb the tower and struggle to survive.’
It’s up to them to decide what is right and what is wrong.
Is there justice in the struggle for survival?
Hwanung had no intention of enforcing moral justice.
Even for humans, these things have become very vague right now.
“Think carefully. Whatever decision you make, I intend to respect it.”
“To paraphrase this, if you refuse, death will follow.”
“… … .”
Narae smiled brightly and said something scary.
Hwanung did not specifically deny it.
Because those were the rules of the game.
Humans hunt orcs, and orcs defend them and climb towers.
‘Galion would be happy to have its own legion too.’
The problem was the mentality of the summoned beings.
The sense of loss must be great due to the crushing defeat.
Unless you can enter the subspace directly, there is no way to know what they did to come out.
All I can do is hope that they can overcome their defeat and get back on their feet.
“Phew… … . You must be worried.”
The sigh of the forest sky, which was not proportional to its size, could be heard from behind Hwanung.
“But, my lord.”
“hmm?”
“Where should we stay?”
“I didn’t think of that.”
“Shall we just go back?”
It’s warm and nice there.
Somehow, it seemed like Narae’s personality had changed a little.
Hwanung smiled and walked away.
“Let’s give him time to think about it.”
“I understand, my lord.”
“What’s going on?”
“It seemed like a human came earlier. What happened?”
After Hwanung left, the orcs who had been watching gathered one by one.
Now that all their strong warriors were gone, their tribe was completely weak.
Those who had already retreated from the battlefield waited silently for the words of the forest sky.
“I got an offer. He asked me to come under him.”
“Chwiik-! Talking such nonsense!”
“No matter how powerful a human you are, how dare you try to put an orc under your feet without being worthy of it!”
The forest sky laughed and added a word.
“They were qualified.”
“What?”
“You brought the chieftain’s axe.”
“… … .”
That meant that Chieftain Thunder Sky was dead.
Without even time to honor their heroic chieftain, they had to worry about the immediate problem of their own survival.
The atmosphere became heavy in an instant.
“So, what did you say?”
“He hasn’t answered yet. He said he’d come back tomorrow.”
“What should we do… … .”
The orcs’ worries deepened.
The night that followed the disaster also grew deeper.
“If you want to live, it wouldn’t be bad to follow his will.”
“Are you suggesting that we go under humans?”
“You are the one who holds the mark of the Chieftain before humans. And we are not in a position to hide anything now.”
The words of the forest sky were absolutely right.
It is said that he has the chieftain’s axe.
Because of that one word, the orcs’ worries only deepened.
