Chapter 23 – Orcrox Warriors (2)
Ian arrived at Orcrox Fortress in an instant, thanks to the power of the sharoup entered Orcrox with a firm expression The Orcrox warriors and shan Since dawn, the entire Orcrox Fortress had been crowded
Ian was about to ask as happening when he found a familiar face It was Gro The warriors questioned hih
Ian went up to him
”What is happening?”
Grom looked over with a startled expression His eyes trembled
”Hohy are you here?”
“I went to Basque Village and met the shamans”
”……”
“Why are they doing this? Is a war happening?”
Grom avoided Ian's eyes
”…?”
“It’s because of me”
”Huh?”
“I…by chance…” He stuttered before sighing ”Hoo Let e”
“What?”
“I went to the north…”
Gro explanation
He headed north while struggling over how to act like a warrior
The north of Orcrox Fortress wasn't a place for apprentice warriors to go Only the top rankers a the users could deal with the fearsome monsters there
Orcrox Fortress itself was built to block thehaphazardly to the north and found so away from some trolls
It was a cave in a gap between two rocks, where he ed to hide The trolls left because they couldn't find him, but Grom entered the cave due to his curiosity
He walked for a little bit and a wide space appeared Torches were hanging on the walls A human shadow stood there The shape was huht fro undead
Death knight!
The death knight whispered in an eerie voice
“Thiss issn't a pplace whereee yooou can sttand ssafely… Intruderssss sssshould beee…”
Groht chased hi Grom to reflexively block it with his axe Groht also rolled across the floor with Grom
The death knight's cold hand gripped Grom's shoulder Grom was terrified and started to attack the arm with his axe Once, twice, three tiht's wrist was cut off
”Kkuaaaaah…”
The death knight screa wail that disturbed the soul
Groht's shouts could be heard froh the tunnel, out of the cave, and all the way back to Orcrox Fortress He used all of his strength to avoid the trolls and goblins
Finally, he was able to breathe in front of the trustworthy guards of Orcrox Fortress However, the faces of the guards were abnormal
”Apprentice… What is that?”
Groht's rotting hand was still there
It held onto Grom's shoulder like it was still alive As Groer The nails pierced Grom's shoulder Grom screamed
The guards grasped the severity of the situation and inforationthe entrance, it er was inside the cave
Lenox guessed that it was a lich
The fact that a lich was located to the north of Orcrox erous since there was enough dark power to still affect the hand, even after Grom escaped to Orcrox Such an enemy had to be killed before it could accumulate more power as time passed
The decision ift and the warriors gathered under Lenox's command
Thus, a raid was created with Grouide
”This is coeon raid?”
A dungeon raid was called the flower of virtual reality games! Elder Lord was no exception Raid videos were always a hot topic
“Yes but… Is Ian also going?”
“I want to go”
“It will be dangerous, so you can just not go…”
Groatively Groressed Was the death knight that terrifying?
As Ian was thinking this, Lenox and Hoyt appeared in front of the troops There was also a female orc that Ian saw for the first time She was Tanya, the administrator of Orcrox Fortress
Lenox looked around at the warriors and shaathered under Lenox's name
Ian was filled with expectation Lenox would yell passionately and boost morale Maybe there would even be slaps to wake up their spirits But he was unexpectedly calm
Lenox walked forward and the area became quiet
“Our goal is an undead dungeon It is estimated that there will be a lich present, but I don't knohat the risks are The worst situation ht happen But…”
Every orc listened to Lenox
”We have to do it”
It was a low voice that was filled with a strong faith The warriors nodded
”Stay alive”
The orcs raised their weapons, shouting simultaneously
”Bul'tar──────!”
Shouts rang out through Orcrox Fortrss Lenox nodded and led the way, the warriors and sha behind him They formed units and a formation behind Lenox
Ian, as at the back, suddenly caught Lenox's eyes
”Apprentice”
”Yes!”
Ian was nervous An apprentice warrior azed at Lenox with earnest eyes
Lenox grinned
“Don't fall behind and keep up”
Ian also smiled at his words
“Understood!”
Hoyt smiled from his position behind Lenox Gulda approached and hit Ian's back The shareat battle since Ian first became an orc
There were 50 warriors and 20 shah the forest Their burly shoulders and large size caused an intense momentum as Ian followed behind them
Grouided Lenox to the place while Ian walked with the other warriors in the back Gulda stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ian
“Apprentice, is this your first tieon?”
”Yes”
