Then in order to weaken the oncoming orcs, I stood before them, and swung my great sword.

As we began to retreat, it suddenly hit me.

The direction of the wind has changed!

The orcs’ sense of smell is strong. Did they notice us because of that?

Orc clubs came swinging at me from my left and right. One of the annoying things about fighting in war is that the attacks come from so many directions, causing the kind of opponents that would normally not be a threat in a one on one become dangerous.

Not to mention that there are actually more orcs than us. On top of that, they’re strong enough to kill the goblins in one hit.

Knowing that, I immediately ordered the goblins that had painstakingly tried to ambush the orcs to retreat, while I dealt with the orcs threatening them myself.

I swung my great sword, and pushed aside the oncoming clubs. Then I forcefully changed the direction of the swung sword, and swung it back where it came from, slashing the chest of the orc that had neared me in order to chase the goblins.

Normally, this orc would have already faltered from this attack, but now it was as if it was not even fazed. In fact, the orc even grew angrier, and attacked me even wilder than before.

An orc then tried to catch me from my right. I dodged him, and at the same time, the club that had been swung from my left passed by my eyes.

This bastards, they’re not considering the damages they could incur at all!

If just now, I had instead cut the arm of the orc that tried to capture me, that club would have landed itself firmly on my body.

They just tried to kill me even at the cost of that orc’s arm!

On top of that, they did it so smoothly… So this is the orc’s madness! The power of the orc king!

Fixing my aim at the oncoming attack from the orc to my left, I swung my great sword. With the assistance from > that swing went straight for the orc’s head. The orc tried to defend with his club, but my sword was faster, and his head splattered into blood and gore. I wielded my great sword over my shoulder as I fixed my posture.

As I did, an orc entered deep into my range, challenging a melee. In response, I let my sword descend with great power.

At the sword’s descent, the orc’s skull split, but before I could cut the orc all the way through, I stopped.

It’s because another orc was attacking me from behind.

The orc extended his spear, and it whizzed right past my shoulders.

I was vexed at having to deal with the fear of being attacked from behind, but I only gritted my teeth as I focused on the fight at hand.

Suddenly, a short sword was thrown, drawing a parabola before piercing my feet.

Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!

As I quickly retreated, I hid my body within the thickets, and crawled about. Like that I desperately ran from the orcs.

I then followed the goblin’s trail of smell. It was dark by the time I reached them.

“Chief…” Gi Ji drooped his head powerlessly.

Seeing that along with Gi Go who was silently staring at me, made me seethe in anger.

Why!? Why am I so weak!?

Why is there such a huge gap in strength!?

Am I going to lose!?

Am I going to be defeated!?

At this rate, the village will be annihilated.

A place like this… In a place like this!

As I gripped Iron Second, I remembered the sword’s weight.

There’s no time!

In that case…

In that case!

“Gi Go, Gi Ji”

As I quietly closed my eyes, I sighed deeply.

I need to win while minimizing the casualties…

Yes, it was because I thought of such things that we were pushed by the orcs. It was because of that that I had to run away with my tail in between my legs.

As I thought that to myself, I began to speak. And I asked.

“Are you prepared to follow me?”

I don’t know if the goblins felt something amiss, but they glanced at each other.

“At this rate, the village will be annihilated,” I continued.

The goblins remained quiet as they listened to my words.

“This is no longer a fight that can be fought without sacrifices,” I declared.

I am the king. Therefore, I must order them…

To put their lives down to protect that which must be protected.

“If the king commands it, then…” Gi Ji looked at me straight in the eyes.

Yes. That is exactly it. I am ordering you all to die.

To all of you, who shared a meal with me, who hunted with me… To all of you who lived with me…

I am ordering you all to die.
