The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 275
Episode 275:
Kwazizyk.
“Cook cough.”
An orc warrior looked down at the arm that pierced his chest and vomited green blood.
“These guys chwiik! “What have you done to our people? Chwiik!”
A group of Orc warriors retreating back shouted at the humans wearing black cloaks.
It was the orc who pierced the orc warrior’s chest with his arm.
However, the orc’s entire body was covered in black tattoos and its eyes were bloodshot and red.
Also, his muscles were bulging out of proportion to his body size, making his upper body look like it was about to explode.
Orc cavalry.
A biological weapon created by experimenting with orcs and orc warriors captured by the empire was revealed.
“Dirty human bastards! “I will not forgive you.”
The Orc warriors, who had reorganized their formation, rushed back towards the Orc cavalry and the Imperials.
Quagwagwagwang!
And the group of orc warriors had no choice but to scatter and flee, losing more than half of their compatriots.
It was a reward for engaging in close combat without knowing that the cavalry would explode.
“Capture as many as possible alive! “I still don’t have enough test subjects.”
“Yes sir.”
“Oh, and don’t cross the border of the forest. “There is no need to provoke the orcs yet.”
At the border of the northern forest, a local battle between the Orc scouts and the imperial army continued.
Of course, the damage on the empire’s side was not that great.
This is because the Empire’s method of capturing enemies and using them as their soldiers was very effective against the Orcs.
Orcs who mainly live in tribal units took a long time to share information.
The empire was in the midst of expanding its size by capturing orcs around the forest border.
* * *
“Those warriors are back, Chwiik!”
When the sentinel watching from the top of the wooden fence shouted, the entire village was shaken.
Deckend Village, where Raoul (Nakadu) stayed, was quite large among the villages located in the north.
The population was close to 3,000, and the number of orc warriors exceeded 300.
Considering that a typical Orc village consists of less than 300 people, I was able to get an idea of its size.
‘Are you on your way to scout the forest?’
Raoul leaves the cabin in a flurry of movement.
He also followed the other orcs towards the village entrance.
Since I was planning on staying in this village for a while anyway, wouldn’t I need to get acquainted with the chief?
It would be even better if we could understand the movements of the imperial army in the northern forest.
However, the closer we got to the entrance, the more unusual the atmosphere became.
“Therapist Chwiik! “Where is the therapist?”
“Oh my god, Chwiik. “Not even half of the warriors have returned, Chwiik!”
The Orc warriors who had participated with great pride returned with the appearance of completely defeated soldiers.
And above all.
“Chwiik Is that really true? “Chwiik! The chief has been captured!”
Elder Bulba had a despairing expression on his face.
“You have no shame, Chwiik. “I couldn’t protect them.”
When Raoul arrived at the village entrance, a warrior with a much larger physique than the other orcs caught his eye.
It seemed like he was probably the village commander the elder had mentioned.
‘Did you say Chiongo?’
He had injuries all over his body and was bleeding green, and his companion, the Giant Wolf, was also covered in blood.
At first glance, it seemed like he had been dealt a terrible blow.
At that time, Chiongo and Raoul’s eyes met.
Chiongo’s eyes widened and then he asked with a wary expression.
“Who are you? “Why did Daejeonsa come to this outskirt village?”
They said he was a warrior commander, and he seemed to have noticed Raoul’s strength right away.
“My name is Nakadu Chwiik. Chwiik is a warrior who follows the wind. Chwiik heard that there was a problem with the northern tribes. “I stopped by for a while while passing by.”
The wariness disappeared from Chiongo’s expression when he heard that he was a warrior who follows the wind.
Among the Orcs, the Wind Warriors (short for short) were very honorable warriors.
To be called a wind warrior, you had to reach a certain level.
And even though he had excellent skills, he did not settle down in the village, but instead trained himself and acted as a kind of solver to solve the clan’s problems.
After hearing from Elder Buruba that he had saved the village from the Twinhead Ogre, Chiongo did not hide his respect for the great warrior.
“Thank you so much, Chwiik. Bada Chwiik salutes you on behalf of the warriors of the village. If the situation were good, I would have liked to strengthen my friendship by sharing alcohol and weapons. “It’s a shame, Chwiik.”
After briefly exchanging greetings, Chiongo and other important figures of the village, including the elders, gathered at the village hall.
And it was no wonder that Raoul was present.
“I wonder if the enemies of the northern forest will attack the village, Chwiik.”
“What is the size of the enemy?”
“How about asking for help from the tribal alliance?”
Various opinions were exchanged, and Chiongo and the warriors disclosed the information they had obtained.
However, from Raoul’s point of view, it was quite frustrating.
‘Compared to the damage, there is very little information obtained.’
How many imperial troops there are, who their commander is, their location, composition of troops, etc.
There was little information to help.
Because it was just compatriots turned into demon soldiers, people in black cloaks, and explosions.
‘I wasn’t expecting much anyway, but it’s a shame.’
Even though I came to a relatively large village, the situation in other places was clear to me even without looking at it.
But this was a natural result.
Just like in the human world, the orc tribe also followed the law of the fittest.
The stronger and more powerful the tribe, the more likely it was to settle in the center of the monster plain, which was rich and rich in prey.
As the stronger tribes took their positions in that order, the weaker tribes had no choice but to be pushed out to the border of the forest.
‘Well, thanks to that, I was able to blend into the tribe without any major problems and it will be easier for me to work in the future.’
If the battle was going to break out anyway, these people would be there or not, but that would be enough.
What Raoul needed was a witness and a simple helper who could spread the news.
Anyway, although it was an unhelpful meeting, it was interesting.
“We must go and rescue our captured compatriots, Chwiik.”
“This time, we lost because there were only five tribes gathered, Chwiik. “How about gathering warriors from ten tribes?”
“I guess we just need to be careful of strange suicide attacks, Chwiik. “Let’s go to war right now!”
Even though I had been defeated in battle a while ago, I didn’t have much fear of battle.
Even the warriors who had just finished treatment were clamoring to go fight.
‘It truly deserves to be called a fighting race.’
However, his ability to think strategically seemed to be poor.
Raoul just watched the meeting without saying anything, and the meeting finally came to an end with various shouts being exchanged.
First of all, it was decided that Elder Buruba would take over as acting chieftain.
Although he was not the strongest orc in the tribe, he was older and braver.
If the chieftain did not return, it was decided to elect a new chieftain fifteen days later, and it seemed that the next chieftain would probably fall to Chiongo, the village warrior chief.
And they decided to form alliances with more tribes to fight against the humans of the northern forest.
He decided to recruit troops and rescue his captured compatriots… but
‘it took too long.’
They exchanged news through human communication, not magic.
This is because only tribes above a certain size had the means of long-distance communication.
In the end, if the meeting went ahead as planned, they would have to wait for at least ten days.
‘That can’t be possible.’
I didn’t have to take on the appearance of an orc to watch the situation unfold so leisurely.
So Raoul finally spoke up for the first time.
“I have something to say for a moment, Chwiik.”
After the meeting, the eyes of those who were about to disperse gathered together.
“What’s going on, Daejeonsa Nakadu, Chwiik?”
Since it was Elder Buruba who confirmed through the warrior commander that Raoul’s skills were at the level of a great warrior, his title was changed.
“I listened carefully to the brothers’ opinions, Chwiik. But it is too late to save the captured compatriots. So, I will go and rescue them myself.”
“Oh really, Chwiik.”
“If that’s the case, take me too, Chwiik.”
“I’m going too, Chwiik!”
Surprisingly, not a single person had any doubts about Raoul’s words.
Rather, it was a scene that showed the presence of Daejeon Temple, as the conference room was noisy as people shouted at each other to take them away.
But I couldn’t drag everyone along, and there was no reason to.
All that Raoul needed was the approximate location where they had been captured and a guide to bring them when the prisoners were rescued.
“Would you like to go with Chiongo? “Chwiik.”
“It’s an honor, Great Master Nakadu. “Chwiik.”
Elder Buruba decided to remain in the village to form an alliance with other tribes and prepare warriors.
So, only the two Wolf Riders headed towards the northern forest.
* * *
Cradle crackle.
It was certainly not easy to ride on the back of a wolf.
This is because an incredible sense of balance and thigh strength were needed to withstand the shaking of the back, which is incomparable to that of a horse.
The ride quality was terrible, but the sense of speed was incomparable to anything else.
Raoul and Chiongo arrive at the border of the forest less than a day after leaving the village.
“This way, Chwiik.” “There are scouts from here, so you have to be careful, Chwiik.”
Now Chiongo, who got off the wolf’s back, took the lead and opened the way.
The two of us carefully made our way through the forest.
However, when there was no sign of the enemy even after walking for a while, Chiongo tilted his head.
“That’s strange, Chwiik. Obviously, their hideout is over here. Why can’t I see anyone? “Chwiik.”
“Isn’t it fortunate if we can reach our destination without encountering the enemy?”
When Raoul said with a grin, Chiongo nodded as if he agreed and continued to give directions.
Of course, the reality was different from what Chiongo thought.
Far ahead in the direction they are walking.
Pump plop!
Suck!
“It’s a monster!”
“How can a weapon turn on its own… grunt.”
Dozens of swords slaughtered dozens of imperial scouts in an instant.
A knight was also involved, but Vido, imbued with aura, avoided the knight’s mana blade and pierced his collar.
The fallen body was picked up by three raincoats and carried under the bushes.
Unless you were sensitive to the smell of blood or had good observation skills, you would not have been able to easily find them in such a lush forest.
Since the weapons controlled by Raoul were dealing with the scouting parties positioned throughout the forest, wouldn’t it be natural that there would be no encounters with them?
And after a while.
Raoul and Tiongo arrived at the place where the battle took place.
“Wait here for a moment, Chwiik. “I will send this guy after I take care of the enemies, Chwiik.”
Chiongo wanted to go with him, but to be honest, he was just a burden to Raul.
After tearing off Chiongo, Raoul walked through the forest for a while, then kicked the air and soared to the top of the tree.
“hmm. “Is it roughly that place?”
Although there were aerial reconnaissance photos, it was not easy to find the destination in the lush forest.
Still, when I climbed up the tree and looked at it, I could see the large tree and the cliff of the hill that had been set as a guideline.
“then… “I guess I should give you a little hello, right?”
Raoul flashed a fierce look in his eyes and jumped between the trees to head somewhere.
* * *
“Chief Cheon, you’re really worried too. “How can an orc like this set up a border like this?”
“Speak quietly so the soldiers will hear. And don’t you know that the atmosphere at the top isn’t very good? Your Majesty is upset because Operation Wall failed. “In times like these, you have to be more careful in everything.”
“That’s the situation of high-ranking people. “For no reason, even low-ranking officers like us are getting tired, so we’re annoyed.”
A crude castle wall built with pillars made of bone and filled with dirt.
Above it, two officers wearing imperial uniforms were talking with tired expressions.
Since the battle with the orcs a few days ago, security has become tighter and working hours have increased.
Perhaps because of this, both officers and soldiers were dissatisfied.
“Honestly, even if an Orc is a little strong, isn’t he still a monster? “Even if we had a lot more people, we wouldn’t be a match for them anyway.”
“Don’t let your guard down too much. Because there were quite a few knight-level individuals among them. Well, anyway, I agree with the saying that it’s a monster.”
The battle was over and the orcs were eventually captured and made into test subjects.
Although there were many people settled in the plains, they were ultimately nothing more than test subjects.
What reason is there to be afraid?
At that time, something appeared in the field in front of the fortress.
“…uh? “What is that?”
“What? It’s Wolf or something. Haha.”
And the conversation was cut off as a dagger struck the foreheads of the two officers.
That was the same for the dozens of soldiers standing guard…
“Shall we begin?”
The black wolf gale carrying Raoul jumped over the castle wall at once.
