Praise the Orc! Chapter 106:
Chapter 106 – Great Northern War (2)
The enemies knocked endlessly against the walls .
“Haaaah”
“Caska, there’s no time to breathe a sigh of relief . ”
“I know, I know . ”
She drew back her bowstring once again . Her job was to continuously pull the bowstring and launch projectiles until the walls collapsed . As soon as she pierced the head of an enemy with an arrow, she would fire a new arrow, providing the walls the possibility of lasting a little longer .
Now the enemies were near . The walls shook violently .
A magician’s flames fell in the middle of the enemies . However, the magic of the orc shaman stopped it from causing damage . The fireball spread and became hundreds of small sparks, disappearing into the air .
Where was the enemy shaman? Caska’s eyes swept the battlefield . Among all the orcs in shabby armor, she discovered an orc wearing a robe .
“Snipe the shaman . ”
“I will do it as well . ”
Caska and her boss pointed their arrows at the same time . It felt like the eyes of the shaman were facing towards them .
She aimed at his yellow eyes . Caska and the shaman’s eyes met across the long distance . It felt like he already knew everything about her . Nausea arose in her empty stomach .
Caska’s fingertips let go of the bowstring . Two arrows flew side-by-side, slicing through the air towards the enemy’s forehead and eyes . The shaman’s staff waved once . The arrows stopped in front of the shaman’s nose and turned around . The iron tip stared at them before following their own trajectory . Then they started to move along that path .
“Down!”
Caska threw herself flat down . The arrows were rushing back towards them .
Reversal .
Rattle .
There was a noise . Caska closed her eyes . Her right shoulder felt warm and she could smell blood . Her body was injured from throwing herself down so quickly .
This was a battlefield . Life and death were just fleeting moments .
She raised her body without looking back . Her supervisors had been changed many times, and the supervisor assigned to her today once again became a corpse at her feet .
“Died like a fool . ”
She drew back her bowstring . The shaman couldn’t be seen . The arrow shook, with the tip of the arrow pointing down .
Orcs were climbing the walls . An orc was stepping on a ladder . The ladder was low and not really clinging to the wall, but they didn’t look back and kept climbing up the walls like ants . The moment that one of the orcs stepped on the ladder, another followed behind .
Caska’s arrow aimed at the head of the orc climbing up . She maintained eye contact with the orc while shooting .
It made her feel nauseous . The arrow headed downwards . The orc was pierced and fell . No, that was wrong . The orc behind him climbed up the ladder again without a change in expression .
Caska was fast . She loaded an arrow again . Then she fired . The orc died . The orc positioned behind him climbed the ladder again . Kill and kill again, the soldiers repeated the same task like they were toys . There was no such thing as repeated failures .
“Caska! Do you have any arrows left?” questioned her colleague .
Caska checked her quiver and found that there were only two arrows left . She loaded one of the arrows . “No . ”
“Damn! What are you doing?”
Caska carefully aimed the arrow as she ignored the voice in her ears . Two arrows left .
She was looking for the shaman who killed her boss . She looked around the entire battlefield in order to kill him, but all the orcs looked the same . How did these hateful guys gather such numbers to become an army? It was hard a hard feat, even if the whole species were all warriors . If all orcs carried a weapon, weren’t they a cursed species?
“Filthy **** . ”
She found the shaman’s face . The shaman was currently holding the staff and mumbling something . He had an **** to guard his defenseless body, but there was enough space for her arrow to penetrate .
She aimed the arrow, emptied her mind, and felt the flow with her body . It was like creating the most beautiful pottery . Just like the mindset of a potter creating the beautiful curve, she calmly pulled the bowstring .
She pulled the arrow back as far as possible as she imagined it piercing the neck of the orc . It was liking choosing the dinner menu . The arrow left the bowstring . It converged on the target in the distance in an instant . The arrow pierced a neck .
Caska muttered, “How irritating . ”
In the blink of an eye, the shaman’s eyes widened as he stopped the chant and pulled the body of a guard towards him . The arrow hit the orc soldier instead of the shaman . The end of the pierced arrow stopped right before the orc shaman’s nose .
She immediately pulled out a new arrow . There was still one left . The arrow flew towards the back of the shaman as if it were aimed at an escaping enemy . But the speed of the shaman rose sharply . He moved more promptly than she expected .
Her arrow caught his calf . The shaman collapsed to the ground . He crawled while looking behind . She threw away her empty quiver and pulled out a dagger hanging from her waist .
She grabbed the head of the dead supervisor .
“What are you doing, Caska?”
“Shut up . ”
Blood splattered everywhere as the brain burst apart . She firmly cut it apart and took out the arrow that had pierced his head . It was hot . She placed the blood-stained arrow on her bowstring . The hot blood of the supervisor painted her cheek as she pulled the arrow back . She could taste blood in her mouth .
Caska let out a terrible laugh .
“Really…annoying . ”
Her arrow split the air . Everything else was nonsense . She wanted to kill . This wretched bastard, she needed to get rid of him . But the shaman muttered something and a barrier formed around him, causing her arrow to bounce off of it . The barrier collapsed from the hit . The arrow lost power and fell to the floor .
The shaman sighed with relief . Within seconds, the other orc soldiers surrounded him and became a protective shield .
Now she had no more arrows left . Caska laughed again before kicking the railing of the wall .
“Shit!”
“Caska . ”
“Shit!” She grabbed the clothing of a colleague . “I will kill him, so give me an arrow . ”
“No . ”
“Why won’t you give me an arrow?” she loudly shouted .
The orcs were gradually climbing up the walls, but she had long since stopped paying attention . There was a supply station carrying arrows far away, but their turn was still far away .
“Don’t be a fool . Just use your knife . ”
“I can’t use a knife!”
“I don’t care . ”
“Hah . ” She angrily kicked the body at her feet .
“Stop . ” A colleague restrained her .
Caska glared at the shaman with bloodshot eyes . He was being escorted to the rear by the soldiers .
This shaman had been bothering them since the early days of the siege . He was the de facto commander . The warriors were always at the front fighting, while the one judging and directing the situation was the **** shaman .
At that moment, she saw something . “What is that?”
From the north, a big greatsword was shining under the hot sun . There was an orc carrying it on his shoulders . His whole body was full of primitive tattoos .
“A guy from the Great Clan . ”
“But the appearance…”
The sword looked more like a flagpole than a weapon . He encountered the orc shaman’s group . They shouted at him . The orc with the greatsword didn’t answer and just lifted the greatsword from his shoulder .
She felt a horrified chill at the sight of the orc handling such a heavy object with only one hand . She could sense it . He didn’t belong to any category she had seen before . A new species .
At that moment . The greatsword cleaved the space horizontally . The soldiers, including the shaman, were split in half and their bodies flew into the air . Blood and organs were scattered all over the ground .
It was caused by a single slash .
“Ah…”
Her colleague’s mouth dropped open . Caska’s expression also froze . The orc stepped through the horror he created and approached the orcs attacking the walls .
Caska’s open mouth gradually changed into a smile .
Every time the orc swung his greatsword, more orcs would die . The orcs didn’t care about the rear and were clinging to the walls without any thought, as well as firing the siege weapons towards the gates .
The orc with the greatsword was strolling along behind them and taking down all the orcs . Blood flew in the air every time a life was taken . It was a blow that arrows couldn’t deal .
A feast of slaughter .
“Cool . ” Caska’s shoulders trembled as she laughed . “Really cool, that orc…”
Kwaang!
The gates broke with a sound . Orcs started to be sucked towards the gate at once . The dark elves blocked the enemies with the spears, but it was like preventing an incoming tide . At that moment,
“──────!”
A huge roar was heard . The dark elves and orcs turned towards the source of the sound . It was an overwhelming roar that made them forget this was a battlefield . At that moment, the ears of everyone in this place were shocked and tinnitus struck .
He said to the orcs . “Calmahart, he is a neophyte . ”
The faces of the orcs changed at the insult to the great chieftain . To them, Calmahart was a divine being . He was the leader who would make them rulers of the north, or even the world . This was an insult to the great chieftain . In addition, it came from an orc standing in front of a large army alone .
The orc continued speaking .
“Calmahart is a sissy and he will die by my hands . ” He raised his greatsword . Then he smiled . “Are there any complaints?”
The orcs turned around .
“This crazy guy!”
“What are you doing?”
The orcs raised their weapons . The orc siege surrounding the gate and walls loosened .
“There are lots of complaints . Then…” The orc with the greatsword raised his hand .
Then he beckoned .
“Come . ”
The orcs lost patience at his provocation . The orcs turned around . Then they turned and started running towards the lone orc . Like a swarm of ants climbing a tree, they sprang towards him . He was about to be surrounded by numerous orcs .
It was a desperate sight .
At that time, the supply cart came and gave arrows to Caska who had been watching . Caska reflexively grabbed the arrows before hurriedly loading an arrow on the bow she had thrown to the ground .
“What are you doing?” Caska shouted . “Support that guy! Recover your minds!”
She no longer cared about who was the leader . They died and she lived . Now she was the boss of this place . The dark elves regained their minds and started shooting arrows .
The orc was on the verge of being surrounded .
She exclaimed, “Don’t let them kill him! Shoot like crazy!”
A rain of arrows enveloped the sky . A black light covered the earth . Orcs fell down like dominoes .
“It really isn’t a joke…” Caska smiled and she continuously fired .
The blood of her boss had dried on her face . The smiling **** face contained the madness of the battlefield .
Her colleague asked her, “That orc, he isn’t dead?”
Right now, he couldn’t be seen at all . She didn’t know why an orc was fighting other orcs, or why he came alone .
“He won’t die,” Caska said with a smile . “If he doesn’t die and survives the battle…”
She could see the brilliant light of his sword moving between the orcs . Orcs went flying all over the place . Caska trembled as she saw the intense eyes of the orc among the fountains of blood .
She declared in a laughing tone . “I will give my first kiss to that orc . ”
“Hey, hey . ”
Her arrow flew through the air and pierced the head of an orc soldier . She placed another arrow on her bowstring and laughed as she said, “Seriously . ”
