“What are you thinking about?” asked Crockta
The furrowed lines on the elf’s face didn’t disappear as he continued si Yet he kept looking at Crockta, Zankus, and Arakunta, as if he were observing them
Crockta felt a ist
“I don’t knohat it is, but I ht be able to help”
The elf stared at Crockta with an intense gaze However, his ansas a refusal “No, it is a problem that I have to answer”
“Then please stop Do you have to look at us to find the answer?”
The elf nodded in agreeht”
“Then what’s the problem? I feel worried when you look at us”
“I can’t tell you”
“Ohh, how frustrating!”
Arakunta laughed as he watched both of them “He’s a person with many secrets Still, he isn’t a bad person so calm down”
Crockta nodded as he chewed on meat “I understand By the way…”
They were eating the venison that Zankus hunted and Tiyo cooked Their speed was a little slower after Arakunta and the elf joined, but they were steadily heading towards Orcrox They would arrive soon
“Setting aside the elf friend for nohat’s that noise?”
“Isn’t it so by dot?
“They see”
Zankus chewed on the venison and said, “Sounds like bandits”
They were talking about a rustling bush While Crockta’s group was eating, the bushes roup of hu around, but it was iroup They all knew about the approach of the humans and kept quiet
“Y-You noticed quickly!”
“But that doesn’t change anything, Orcs!”
The hu the same equipment: leather armor, a sword, and a shi+eld Their posture was poor, but their willpoas good
“In the name of the Gods!”
“Punish the orcs!”
They rushed forward Crockta’s group exchanged glances, as if passing on the burden, before eventually settling on Crockta Crockta couldn’t hold up against their heavy gazes and stood up with New Slayer in hand
“Annoying”
Crockta stepped forward and wielded the sword The wind blew The enemies were pushed away by the wind pressure and fell
“Hup!”
“What?”
Theirdance They couldn’t come any closer and stared at Crockta The fallen people raised their bodies Their weapons trembled
“What strength…!”
They grabbed their necklaces and prayed to their God The group wasn’tthe orcs Apart fro orcs However, they found the wrong opponents
“Follow the divine e! For the God of war!”
“We shall shed blood for the Goddess of mercy!”
“For the divine e!”
They rushed towards Crockta’s group again However, Crockta broke all their weapons using New Slayer As soon as the greatsword hit it, the shi+elds fleay from the shock They weren’t his opponents
“Do you still want to continue?”
Crockta headed towards the fallen huled as the sh
adow approached Crockta smiled and placed his foot on the chest of one person, who let out a moan
“Yes, the Gods want to kill us?”
“Kuock…that’s right The Goddess of mercy, no one else, said that! Hoicked must you be for the Goddess of mercy and compassion to want to kill you! For the Goddess!”
They wielded their weapons again but were forced to drop them due to Crockta
“Keeeok…”
“The Gods…”
Crockta shrugged and asked, “Have you ever wondered about the Gods you are following?”
“What nonsense is this…?”
“I will let you know They aren’t perfect They lie as we do and deceive others for their own benefit”
Crockta knew about the divine e So he knew that the Gods weren’t absolutely omnipotent The Gods believed that Crockta and the orcs were colluding with the grey God This was false Crockta had rey God But they were closer to enemies than allies
The situation was ridiculous in Crockta’s eyes, so he thought that the people who believed in the divine e were pitiful
“We aren’t conspiring with the grey God”
“What nonsense are you saying?”
“We have no intention of causing a war”
“Shut up! We will get rid of you!”
“I see”
The hu to Crockta’s words Was it because Crockta was pointing a sword at theh? Crockta lifted New Slayer to confirm it He moved the blade
“W-Wait a minute…”
The greatsword slowly fell down The struggling ht the blade with his hand He couldn’t wrap his hand around New Slayer’s huge blade
“Kuooooh…”
He also couldn’t beat Crockta’s strength He closed his eyes as the blade of the sword pointed at his neck
“W-Wait a minute…!”
“I’rinned
The man shouted as it was about to touch him, “S-Spare me!”
The blade stopped
“Spare you?”
“Y-Yes Stop for a second…”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to kill me and the orcs?”
“I lost I aded frohtly closed eyes “I surrender! Spare me!”
His hands shook while holding onto the blade and he shouted
“Do the rest of you have the sahts?”
Crockta looked around at the believers Their breathing was rough as they watched Crockta and the man Then they nodded Crockta pulled New Slayer away
