Episode 306 Village Request (4)
A war of nerves broke out between the orcs and goblins.
They prepared for each other so that no matter when a battle broke out, it didn’t matter.
From the beginning, monsters are beings that kill each other.
Of course, I don’t think of anyone as an ally except for my own people.
Since their intelligence is low, it can be seen that this alienation works quite well.
A chilly tension lingered in the mountains.
Ray thought at the village chief’s house.
‘Surely, if a fight breaks out between the Orcs and Goblins, there will be monsters thinking of coming down to the village.’
It was a town that was terrified of only Orcs and Goblins.
As soon as other monsters invade, the village will be ruined.
He took out the anvil that he had been quietly enshrining under the sun.
The flawed black anvil glows with joy at the owner’s touch.
“It’s been a long time since I hit iron directly on an anvil.”
Reminds me of Derp, who always told me not to let go of the hammer, and builds the furnace one by one.
People watching from afar burst into laughter.
“Treatment, cooking… In addition, is it possible to do blacksmithing now?”
“There’s really nothing you can’t do…”
He replied as if he didn’t care about their admiration.
“There is nothing I can’t do.”
It is said that rice lowers its head as it ripens, but Ray shrugged his shoulders, knowing nothing of humility.
Having made a furnace, he lit a fire and checked the surroundings again to see if the heat was leaking out.
It couldn’t be compared to the Derp’s furnace that was used at the time, but this was a good enough level to use.
Although the size is small, a decent brazier was completed.
Ray hummed and tossed the iron into the furnace.
With a water bottle attached next to it, Sewol and Newwol, they stare at the sky and yawn.
It looks pretty sloppy.
At first, the parties who watched him closely also said, ‘Then it is.’ I took my gaze with the corner of my eye.
It’s hard for people to be good at one thing.
They were not disappointed because they knew that the treatment and cooking were already of a high standard.
At that moment, Ray took out the iron from the furnace.
As soon as he puts the heated iron on the anvil, he grabs a hammer and strikes it down to the rhythm of a humming song.
The son-in-law rang with the sound of his hammering, which he had learned from Derp and was trained through ridiculous training.
Caan—! Caang—!
My eyes are naturally drawn to the sound of hammers that I have never heard before.
All ears were delighted with the deep tone, like a musician’s performance.
Their eyes widened.
I couldn’t help but be astonished at the iron lump that changed its shape after a few hammerings.
“The cow’s sophistication is amazing…”
“Even the owner of the blacksmith’s shop I go to can’t do that…”
The hammering, which excludes all unnecessary movements, is beautiful just by looking at it.
How much blood and sweat did you shed to get that?
Kate murmured quietly.
“…what a wonderful person he is.”
In his forearm holding the iron block, there was a lot of manliness that hadn’t been seen before.
I thought he was slim, but looking closely, he has a strong(?) side.
Touching her face, which was somehow hot, she turned her head away.
Ray didn’t care if they admired or booed.
At first glance, it may seem like he is doing it roughly, but his nerves were focused exclusively on the anvil.
Even when you hit the hammer once, there are many thoughts.
Therefore, the results that came out were bound to be good.
The lump of iron, which was formed arbitrarily, gradually took shape, and eventually became a bar with thorns everywhere.
These thorns look quite sophisticated.
Looking at the thorns stuck in the front and back, I don’t think it will ever end in pain.
Ray made dozens of spear-like thorn sticks.
Thanks to the heat of the hearth, perspiration formed on my forehead.
He let out a breath, wiping away the sweat.
“Whew… this should be enough.”
Curious, Sonya asked with a curious face.
“What the hell was this weird thing made for?”
It is strangely shaped to be called a spear, and there are many ugly things attached to it to be called a rod.
Ray said with a face as if he didn’t know when he saw it.
“Of course, it should be used to create traps.”
“trap?”
“As I said before, when Orcs and Goblins fight, other monsters may come down to the village. If you set a trap, you can stop it to some extent.”
“I see. I hadn’t even thought about that.”
He instructed Sonya, who nodded.
“Since there is nothing good by dragging time, the plan will be carried out from tomorrow. Ted and Sonya dig all over the town, starting at the entrance. The depth should be roughly enough for one person to be completely submerged.”
“Um… I see.”
Ray tidied the anvil as Ted and Sonya headed straight for the entrance.
Looking at the presence of the orcs felt in the mountain, it seemed that there was not much time.
Perhaps a battle will break out tonight.
‘I’ll have to take my time.’
* * *
In the Orc village, preparations for battle were already in full swing.
“Chwiiik! Kill all the goblins! Chwiyiik!”
Not one or two compatriots got hit by goblins while patrolling.
The anger of the orcs was great.
In addition, since he was equipped with a fighting posture, his confidence in victory was about to skyrocket.
However, it was the same with the goblins.
There are over 400 goblins living on this mountain.
In a one-on-one match, they would certainly be beaten by the Orcs, but they thought they would be able to win because there were more of them.
When the power reaches its peak, there is only a desire to quickly release this power.
Most monsters are driven by desire.
The orcs, known for their impatient nature, and the goblins, whose intelligence was at the level of children, stood up at the same time.
“Kieack!”
“Chwiiik!”
Since it was in the woods, there were no wide fields.
Small goblins can roam the forest more freely.
In this case, the topographical disadvantage was the Orcs.
I don’t think I’ll lose the fight, but I want to minimize the loss.
So, the head of the Orcs at the forefront decided to change places.
As the Orcs knew, there was only one place where there were few obstacles and a wide area.
“Orcs! Acquire! go down! Fight in the human village! Chwiyiik!”
“Chwiiik!”
Contrary to Ray’s wishes, the orcs turned and headed towards the village.
* * *
A villager who was watching from afar hurriedly blew his whistle.
“Oh orc!”
“There are goblins too! Avoid everyone!”
Ted and Sonya stopped digging and turned their heads.
Then there were goblins and orcs rushing into the village amicably.
No, they were definitely fighting in the middle, but they only seemed to be coming hand in hand.
They reflexively backed away in embarrassment.
“What’s going on with that!”
The number of monsters is no joke.
If you combine orcs and goblins, it seemed like it would easily exceed 500.
‘If I fight back, I will surely die.’
Ted came to his senses and made a quick decision.
“Sonya! stand back! The village gives up and returns to the guild! Tell the villagers!”
“Ha, but there must be residents who couldn’t evacuate! We must protect it until the end!”
“What are you going to protect with only three people! Look at that number!”
coo-! coo-!
The earth-shaking pressure forces Sonya to take a step back.
I was scared, but my will was the same as before.
Sonya sighed for a moment, then nudged Ted with determined eyes.
“Ted, get out of here at least.”
“You really…!”
“If you’re going to die someday anyway, it’s better to use it for something good.”
“Not a good thing! Dying here is dog death!”
“If I can save even one more person, I’d rather die as a dog.”
She bit her lip and raised her sword.
Ted closed his eyes at the sight of him saying he would never back down.
Although it is unrequited love, she is a loving woman.
He couldn’t leave her behind because his life was too precious.
He takes out the bastard sword stuck in his back.
“Promise me one thing. If all the residents are safely out, don’t hesitate and run away.”
“I’ll promise.”
“…good. If you violate it, I will grant you one wish.”
“If it’s a bet on alcohol, I won until I’m sick of it, so it’s okay once in a while.”
As the two stood in the lead, a voice came from behind.
“…It’s a little sad when only two people play together.”
They laughed at Kate’s words.
“As expected, Kate! Trustworthy!”
“Sonya, you watch over Kate. At times like this, Kate, who is good at interpersonal magic, will be of great help.”
“I know!”
While they were talking, the monsters were already right in front of them.
There was nothing to see in the eyes of the orcs and goblins.
The place has changed, so there’s nothing to notice.
All that remains is to destroy the surroundings and fight.
“Kuaaa!”
“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
Sharp screams were heard and their battle began.
Orcs and goblins come all over the village because they don’t fight while taking care of their surroundings.
A woman who could not escape was hit on the back by a goblin.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Ted quickly decapitated the goblin.
“Come on out!”
“Uuuuuuuuu…”
It wasn’t a deep wound, but it wasn’t a shallow one either.
The woman struggled to get herself up.
A few goblins, who witnessed their comrades being killed, pounced on Ted.
In their hands were what looked like small daggers.
If you hit it right, it will be difficult to sustain the fight.
He glanced around.
Sonya and Kate have already been caught up in a fight between a few orcs and goblins.
“I don’t think I can afford to help!”
Swings the bastard sword wide.
The two goblins, which were trying to dodge behind them, were caught on the edge of their swords and shattered.
The location of the battle was being moved little by little.
As the point of the fierce battle moved toward the center of the village, it became increasingly difficult for them to take the time.
Ted shouted, pushing the orc away as the last remaining man and a child made their way out of town.
“Everyone has been evacuated! Sonya Kate! Get out now!”
“Keugh……! I want to do that too…!”
Sonya, who was exhausted from the two orcs’ joint attack, was too tired to block them.
The same goes for Kate, who has almost exhausted her mana.
Ted also wanted to go to support, but he couldn’t leave his seat because the three orcs he was dealing with lit up in their eyes and rushed at him.
At that moment, Sonya was punched by an orc.
She was hit hard in the stomach and flew away with a shriek.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Sonia!”
When Sonya, who had been protecting Kate, disappeared, Kate was defenselessly exposed to the attacks of the orcs.
The moment the orc’s hatchet cut Kate’s head.
The pure white island jade that bloomed with the blue mana revealed to the naked eye pushed the hatchet away.
Then, unable to overcome the force, the orcs flew to the center of the battlefield.
Kwaaaang—!
The roar, as if magic had exploded, drew the attention of not only the Orcs but also the Goblins.
Ray’s figure, wearing a white mask and robe, was revealed in the dust.
