Praise the Orc! Chapter 108:
Chapter 108 – Great Northern War (4)
Crockta was lying on a bed .
His wounds were recovering quickly . His Pinnacle ranked skill, Regeneration Authority allowed him to recover from the shock he received . As soon as the arrow was pulled out from his shoulder, the skin healed by itself .
Tiyo found his resilience amazing .
“I know it already, but that really is a brutish resilience dot . ”
Crockta grinned while lying down . Even so, it wasn’t easy for him to face the troops alone . Axes aimed at him blindly . He avoided any fatal injuries by twisting his body, but it was still uncomfortable .
However, thanks to Crockta, there was no large damage to the dark elves . If the orcs entered through the open gates, a slaughter would’ve begun . Perhaps all the dark elves in Emeranian would’ve been killed or enslaved .
But Crockta provoked the orcs and took on all the enemies alone . No, he overwhelmed them . The dark elves fired at their backs, but his actions couldn’t be denied .
His understanding of the Pinnacle was maturing, and once he added in Introduction to Magic, Crockta’s senses were as sharp as a blade . He was able to feel the blades flying from behind and the blood of the orcs . He felt like he was increasingly becoming a monster .
Could any of the users afford to go against him? No . Crockta was confident . As long as they thought of Elder Lord as a game, the users couldn’t beat him .
“Hey . Orc?”
The door opened and a dark elf walked in . She was carrying a bow, and her body looked flexible and strong . She looked like a black panther walking around . She turned towards Crockta . It was a beautiful appearance . Her face and body were covered in dirt from the long battle, but the light of her blue eyes couldn’t be concealed . They shone like sapphires placed on brown skin .
Tiyo muttered, “Hoh, Crockta . You are quite good dot . ”
Anor was confused . “What is quite good?”
“You will understand if you look closely . The light in those eyes . Those gestures . That gait . ”
“I guess she is angry . Did Crockta do anything wrong?”
“This! You are an amateur dot . The eyes of Quantes’ love expert, Tiyo, isn’t wrong dot . ” Tiyo whispered, “If you look a little further, you will understand dot . ”
He spoke as she came straight towards Crockta . The dark elves standing on duty around the bed saluted . She gave a slight nod in response . She looked down at Crockta as he looked up at her with a confused expression .
She stretched out a slender hand towards Crockta . Crockta gazed blankly as her hands approached his neck .
Tiyo and Anor gulped as they watched .
“What is this?”
“It is exciting dot . ”
Snap .
“……!”
“T-That’s it!”
Tiyo and Anor reflexively started chewing the cookies next to them as they stared at the sight before them . It was placed by the bedside for the family of patients . Anor had been visiting the sick patient; however, he became immersed in the sudden change of situation, putting the corn cookie in his mouth . It was like watching flames across a river!
Crockta spoke, “What are you doing?”
He frowned at the woman who grabbed his collar .
“Crockta, right?”
“Yes . Rather…”
“My name is Caska . ”
“I want you to release me before telling me your name . ”
Crockta pointed at her hands holding his collar . But she just laughed and moved her face closer instead of letting go .
“You were cool . ”
Anor blocked his mouth with one hand and grabbed Tiyo with the other .
“What a surprise, a surprise . ”
“The man who fights in battles and saves the city will get a woman dot . ”
“Captain Caska is really bold . ”
The dark elf soldiers in the infirmary also nodded their heads .
However, the party involved, Crockta was uncomfortable . “Don’t come too close . I’m uncomfortable . ”
“Uncomfortable?” Caska grinned . “Crockta . ”
“What is it?”
“I half fell in love . ”
“It is an honor . ”
Caska lightly stroked Crockta’s forehead . “Shall we kiss?”
Her remark was like a bomb as the whole room became silent . Anor hit Tiyo’s arm .
“It hurts dot!”
“Wow, wow, what is going on, really!”
“It is simple and ignorant, just like Captain Caska . ”
They were so immersed that they forgot to chew the corn cookies in their mouths . But the atmosphere around the characters of the romantic scene wasn’t that warm .
“I don’t like it . ” Crockta replied while still looking confused by the hand on his collar .
“What?” Caska’s eyes widened . “Am I not unbelievably pretty?”
“Hah . ”
She pointed at her lips again . Her crimson lips looked like a blooming flower . Despite the long battle, the lips were moisturized and had no cracks . It was an alluring color, especially when contrasted to the brown skin .
“Really, you don’t want to?”
Crockta hated this type of thing .
That…
He was a romanticist .
Crockta raised his injured upper body . Then he pointed towards her .
“No flower can stay red for 100 days! You are certainly beautiful . But you have made no contributions to that beauty . You just inherited that beautiful face from your parents . It isn’t the result of any effort . A beautiful face itself will never represent your value!”
“……!”
The men in the room were all shocked .
This orc…
He was big . He was a big and brave man . Indeed, a big man worthy of being a one man army . His faith and beliefs were so strong that he rejected the offer of a beautiful woman!
Caska’s face stiffened . Crockta continued speaking .
“Of course, I like beautiful things too . ”
“T-Then why?”
“The beauty I speak of is not that kind,” declared Crockta while pointing to himself . “Rather than the pretty flowers, I feel beauty from the diligence of the worker bees who flap their wings without rest to gather honey and pollen . ”
“……!”
“You might have looks, but bear in mind that character is more important to me . ”
Everyone knew this principle, but most didn’t understand it sincerely . This orc . He showed it by rejecting this beautiful female elf .
Jung Ian, he was an ordinary man who once only knew this belief with his head . But that changed after meeting ‘her’ on the battlefield . Assault rifles and rocket launchers suited her . Crockta’s face became depressed as he remembered seeing his old love . Then he seemed to look sorry at Caska’s ignorance .
At this moment, everyone in the room realized it . Crockta wasn’t simply a great warrior . A sage .
There was only the sound of Caska letting go and hurriedly walking away . She left the room as quickly as she entered it .
Tiyo placed the corn cookies to the side and walked over to Crockta . Then he raised a hand to Crockta’s shoulder .
“Crockta . ”
“What?”
“You are the man, I admit it dot . ” He had a truly admiring expression on his face . Anor was also filled with admiration .
“Amazing, Crockta . I’ll say it again . ”
Tiyo sighed . “That elf was really beautiful dot… If that was me, I wouldn’t have been able to reject it dot . A true man…”
It was a sincere murmur .
Crockta reflexively denied it . There was still a trauma caused by the Love Mode lock .
“I-I’m not impotent . ”
“……!”
A slip of the tongue! Crockta realized his mistake but it was already too late . Everyone in the room realized the truth .
“C-Crockta…perhaps…!”
The eyes of all the men in this place changed from respect to awe . The emotion was even deeper than before .
Now they saw clearly .
Crockta wasn’t just a sage . No, he was a great sage .
***
Caska started running as soon as she left the room .
She was an excellent hunter and the captain of the third unit of the Emeranian guards . Once she started running in earnest, no one could catch her . She ran towards the walls . It was a place covered in orcs .
The dark elves were moving the bodies of the orcs . It was to be burned . Unarmed soldiers were repairing the gates and checking their equipment for the next battle .
“Hello!”
“Yes . ”
Caska saluted and felt her close associate Linier, a lieutenant of the second unit . Linier was in charging of recovering and repairing arrows from the corpses of the orcs . Linier, who was disinfecting the **** arrows, discovered Caska and turned towards her .
“Caska . ”
“Linier . Come here . ”
“I’m busy . ”
“Come and see . It is just a minute . It is a big deal . ”
Linier was taken away by Caska . They stood beneath the wall . “What is it, tell me?”
“You know . ” Caska placed her forehead against the wall . “I went to the orc called Crockta . ”
“Whoa . Really?”
“So I tried . ”
“Kiss? Really?”
“But he refused . ”
“Things like that can happen . You are a stranger . ”
“That is the problem . ”
Caska hit her forehead against the wall and looked at Linier . Linier recoiled from Caska’s expression . Faint embers were burning in the beautiful blue eyes . Linier could see that it was a really big deal .
“In fact, half of it had been a joke . ”
“I guess…”
“But… That guy…so cool . ”
“So what, now…”
“Yes, now . ” Caska nodded . “It isn’t a joke anymore . The real deal . ”
“Yes . ” Linier sighed . “This is really serious . ”

“The troops at Emeranian were wiped out . ”
“Kuhuhu . Stupid . ”
“The young shaman was stupid . ”
The warrior called Akhu laughed as he wiped his halberd . The army of the Great Clan was advancing slowly . They never rushed . As the large numbers pushed, the orcs would eventually win . There was no choice . They had the great chieftain and many powerful warriors were born .
“It isn’t too bad to obtain a base before the main army comes . ”
He got up from his seat . They were located outside Juora, a city located to the west of Emeranian .
“The great chieftain will be delighted . ”
“There are many dark elves . We should wait . ”
“Do you feel doubts? I am the warrior Akhu . Emeranian didn’t have any proper warriors . ”
“We should still wait . ”
“Che, this boring fellow . ”
Akhu looked at the walls of Juora in front of him . The dark elves were still cowardly hiding behind the walls and shooting arrows . In a siege, especially a siege against dark elves, the invaders had to suffer great damage .
Akhu dug at his ears and said .
“I’ll just play a fun joke . ” He told the shaman . The shaman nodded silently .
His body was filled with strength . The big warriors had the power of magic behind them and were able to pull out all their battle power . Akhu was overflowing with confidence . It felt like he could break through anyone .
He walked towards Juora . Then he shouted towards the top of the wall .
“I! I am the leader of this army, Akhu!” His call echoed . “You cowardly and weak dark elves who can only shoot arrows from behind! Every day you run away, and you are trash who doesn’t know what a real fight is!”
He smiled and started to pee towards the walls . The orcs behind him raised their weapons over their heads and cheered .
“If you are a confident person, come out! If you don’t hide like a sissy behind the walls, I will give you a chance!”
He raised his halberd . “No one! The dark elves really are cowards!”
He signaled to the troops in the rear . Then an orc handed a spear to him . He immediately threw the spear . It slammed into the gate . The gate shook violently . It was a tremendous force .
“You are a species that suits slavery! Soon all of you will fall down at our feet, licking **** in order to live!”
He burst out laughing . He liked lowering the enemy’s morale . He could provoke the enemy then kill any opponent that came out for a one-on-one fight . Even if they didn’t come out, the enemy’s morale would sink to the bottom . This was the habit of a Great Clan warrior .
At that moment .
The gate opened .
“Ohh . ”
A dark elf walked towards Akhu .
“There is a man with some guts!”
Akhu laughed and spun his halberd around . The reaction was unexpected . So far, there had been no response to his taunts but the anger of the dark elves must have accumulated .
The dark elf looked calm . In addition, his weapons were a little unusual .
“Hey, Garbage! My name is Akhu! What is your name?”
Akhu yelled in a pleased tone . He wanted to mutilate the dark elf then throw him towards the walls . Fear was the best means to trample the enemy . The joy of slaughtering was just a bonus .
But the dark elf didn’t answer .
Akhu rubbed his nose and raised the halberd . Anyway, everything would be answered with a few swings of his halberd . After the harsh treatment, Akhu vowed to trample on that cheeky face . The halberd swung round and round .
The wind blew through the dark elf’s gray hair . His violet eyes were calm . The dark elf raised his arms .
A pair of swords . A dim light shone around the two gently curved scimitars .
