Chapter 72 – Northern Orcs (1)
Crockta and Tiyo shi+fted Shakan's body and made a tomb for him in his fortress
The clever cows cried sadly at Shakan's death The re the coere sent back to nature outside of the Forest of Creatures
Then they stood in front of the wall of darkness spreading across the northernmost part of the forest that the behemoth had once blocked It was a darkness that blocked any intruders fro
[Until the north is completely opened in 10 years, access will be limited]
[As a colleague of Shakan who opened the north, you can pass through here]
”C-Crockta, is the north really beyond this point?”
”Trust me”
Crockta and Tiyo exchanged glances before walking towards the wall Darkness sed their vision It was a strange feeling, as if they were floating in the darkness
When they opened their eyes again, they were standing on red earth
”……!”
”This place…?”
It was a wilderness Behind them was the wall of darkness, but the forest behind it couldn't be seen It was like a completely different world
“This is the north…”
It was a desolate place Aletation was visible on the horizon, save for the occasional cactus or they deeply rooted herbaceous plant
“Nohat direction should we go in, Crockta?” Tiyo asked
Their destination was the Temple of the Fallen God Crockta pulled out a map, a piece of infor to this e lake will appear if we move towards the northwest
”Indeed…”
Would there be a lake in this barren climate? Crockta checked the compass and told Tiyo, ”This way”
“I understand dot!”
Tiyo walked ahead
Contrary to his expectations, it was a desolate wasteland, but it was still a neorld Only a few people from the continent had seen the north Moreover, they were the adventurers who opened up the north Tiyo started hu
Crockta and Tiyo looked around while walking Except for the wall of darkness, everywhere was the sa to continue like this, maybe the north was just a dead land
They would know once they followed thetime towards the lake marked on the map
”……”
“This is the lake dot…?”
It was a puddle sain According to the compass and e pillars and rugged rock walls
”At one tiht've been a lake”
The o It could be different from the current situation
“Let's relieve our dry throats first”
”Yes, dot”
The moment they reached the puddle…
A sound was heard from far away Crockta turned his head and spotted a sand stor this place Tiyo took a sip of water and said, ”Are we finallypeople from the north?”
“They are riding on so”
It wasn't the shape of aWere they orcs, humans, or dark elves? Worry was re Slayer' and waited for them with bated breath
“Crockta, what are you nervous about? They are the northern people dot!” Tiyo declared
Crockta nodded before saying, “I hope my worries are needless”
Then he could deterroup They were orcs
”Hey! Who are you?”
The orc in the front shouted There was a total of five orcs They were riding odd-looking animals that looked like rhinoceroses, except at a size that was smaller than a horse Horns towered up on both sides and the eyes were filled ildness
Crockta stepped forward ”I am alive It is nice to see you I am the orc warrior Crockta”
He extended his fist
”Yes…?” The orcs looked at each other at his greeting
“Pff…”
“Kuk…”
They chuckled before bursting out laughing, ”Kulkulkulkul! Did you hear him? Alive? Kuahahahat!”
“This guy, he must've heard too many stories! Kulkulkulkul!”
“My mother read me the old books as well! Yes alive, you are alive! Kuhahahat!”
Crockta couldn't understand their reactions
“Hey, why are you doing such archaic bullshi+t?”
“Why did an outsider suddenly appear in our area? In addition, co with a dwarf”
The orcs got down fro weapons such as axes and swords, but they were different from the weapons that Crockta knew and loved The size of their weapons was small, and seemed to be human weapons
“We are the Kapur Tribe that rules this area, get on your knees!” One of the orcs pulled out his sword and shouted Crockta stared at hirily at Crockta's response
“I said, we are the Kapur Tribe! On your knees!”
Crockta couldn't understand it “On my knees?”
Orcs never kneeled before another of their kind No, it was the same with other species Orcs would never force humiliation on someone Rather, they would raise them up If someone insulted them, the orc would just cut off their heads
Those were the orcs that he knew He would understand it
”I don't knohat you are talking about I anome warrior is my friend ,Tiyo Please respect our honor” Crockta replied patiently
But they laughed at Crockta again One orc grabbed his belly and shed tears “Kuahahat! Warrior? Warrior?”
”That dwarf is a warrior? Kulkulkulkul!”
“A very funny guy! I' crazy!”
Then the original orc, who shouted with a sword in hand, approached Crockta
“This person is a madman Kehehehet!”
Mean expressions
Crockta realized so ”Don't”
“What are you talking about?”
“Don't speak”
The faces of the orcs distorted ”What nonsense is he saying!”
Then the orc shook his sword But he couldn't fulfill his will His crude sas smashed at once
A greatsword, too big to be a regular sword, was pointing at his neck It was the re Slayer'!
”You guys don't have any honor”
”U-Uh…?”
The orc retreated The other orcs simultaneously raised their weapons
”You!”
“You want to die!”
The orc who lost his weapon shouted while the other four orcs surrounded Crockta, a ferocious look in their eyes “You attacked us just now, so we can't get over it This guy”
An orc holding an axe cried out angrily, “Do you want to ry?”
But Crockta wasn't afraid at all The anger of the Orcrox far than these orcs holding their flimsy weapons
“Messing with the Kapur warriors…”
At that moment, Crockta's eyebroitched
“What?”
”Hehe, have you finally realized your mistake? We are warriors froe number of warriors in our tribe…”
Crockta looked up at the sky The sky above him was blue, just like it was on the continent
