Chapter 8 Orcs (II)



Orcs is a word used to group a large number of species in the land of Elias, they consist of many tribes such as the kobolds (dog-headed people with humanoid bodies), Tauren (cow-headed people with humanoid bodies), Fox people, goblins and so many more.

Although orcs consist of many species they are generally known for their humanoid structure, love for battle, and innate strength. Thinking back to the knowledge of orcs taught to him by his father Elric couldn\'t help but have a dignified look on his face however, looking at the anxious crowd and thinking of the current situation it was clear this wasn\'t the time to panic. However, before he could try to appease the current situation a slight cough interrupted his thoughts.

" *cough* young master we were ambushed! you have to run now! Davi- *cough cough* Davis, he\'s trying to hold them off" Mustering up most of his strength the bleeding tribesman managed to cough up those few words before fainting. With his fainting, a sudden gloom filled the atmosphere.

"Young master, what do we do now?" the one to speak up was the freckled boy in the crowd perhaps. Suddenly the sound of a large number of footsteps began to sound at the entrance of the cave. Without waiting for anyone to react Elric began issuing orders.

"George! go and prop him against the wall, and let him apply pressure on the wounds with his hide skin to reduce the bleeding! The rest of you follow me." As he spoke he led the group of people to the entrance of the cave to which he met a group of orcs marching towards them.

A group of about twenty green goblins stood in his front, the leader with a height of about 7 feet, wearing an animal loincloth embroidered with the skulls of various animals and a large mace decorated in spikes in his right hand. To his side was a somewhat scrawny robed goblin with only a height of about four feet tall with a staff taller than it held in his hand behind what looked like your group of regular goblins with animal loin cloths with sticks and stones held as weapons.

Silence filled the cave as both sides met each other, it seemed to be a competition of momentum as Elric and the goblin chief faced each other. Although he was obviously in the weaker position Elric still did not back down and this source of confidence came from the results of the A.I. chips scan a few minutes before they face each other.

"A.I. chip what kind of orc are they?"

[Beep! searching complete records of approaching individuals]

[record found! individuals classified as Goblin chief, Goblin shaman, and regular goblins]

"Scan their attributes!"

[Scanning attributes]

[scan complete!]

[Goblin Chief]

[Strength: 4.0, Agility: 3.2, Vitality: 3.6,]

[Goblin Shaman]

[Strength: 2.0, Agility: 3.2, Vitality: 2.6,]

[Goblin]

[Strength: 1.5, Agility: 1.7, Vitality: 1.6,]

Although the average attribute of a goblin is higher than a normal human it is still much less than Elric\'s after his inscription transformation.

[Elric]

[Strength: 4.4, Agility: 4.5, Vitality: 4.4]

Thankfully Davis and the others didn\'t seem to be hurt, just tied up and unconscious. However, looking at the goblin in front of him Elric didn\'t think they came here for a fight.

"Human! not za sep gers sin tbe ha ket tam dus mars mei kahl!" It was the goblin chief who spoke up unfortunately he was speaking in their native tongue leading to an embarrassing situation where no one understood each other. The goblin chief seemed to have seen Elric\'s embarrassment and tapped the goblin shaman on the shoulder.

After taking a deep look at Elric the scrawny goblin made a few chants when his staff began to glow enveloping both Elric and the goblin chief.

"young master!"

"Elric!"

As the light appeared the crowd immediately began to shout towards Elric, George himself clenching his fist in the background thankfully the light only appeared for a short period.

With the fading of the light, Elric and the Goblin chief appeared in everyone\'s view however to their surprise both of them were communicating normally. watching the surprise of the tribesmen with a disdainful glance, the goblin shaman put away his staff.

Meanwhile on Elric and the Goblin chief\'s side

"Human I am Zriork of the green skin tribe, hunter of heads and breaker of bones. Although I do not know why you a weak human can stand in my presence, I admire your courage" After all humans are known as the bottom race in the land of Elias how could this not surprise Zriork unexpectedly in his lifetime he would encounter a human that could withstand his aura.

"Okay, Zriork explain what you mean by hurting my fellow tribesmen and obstructing our view!" Elric wasn\'t in the mood for small talk after all one of the tribesmen was already seriously injured by these orcs and the rest were tied up, given this situation, it would be impossible to say there\'s no hostility between them, however, for the safety of the tribesmen still in their hands and those behind him he still had to deal with the situation calmly.

"About that let me explain" it was the shaman who spoke up this time. According to him the Green skin tribe encountered a situation similar to theirs but rather than being driven away by their Gods they were driven out by the enemy Red skin goblins after their God was defeated in a God war and they managed to escape into this cave.

"However this does not explain why you attacked us?" Still, in a bad mood, Elric was not satisfied with that answer. After speaking he seemed to see a flash of anger In the eyes of the goblin chief and shaman.

"This can be explained" taking a deep breath the shaman continued it seemed whatever happened caused them to lose a lot.

"During our escape, it turned out that there was a traitor among our group who mixed berserk potions in our meal causing us to go mad attacking anything in our sight thankfully we met your group of people, especially the one with the scar who fought almost equally with the chief burning a lot of our energy which allowed us to gain our senses back.

"Then what about the traitor? don\'t tell me you let him go?"

"No! We orcs never let go of traitors! however, he escaped during our period of madness"

"So I understand what you\'re saying, but why are you looking for me?"

"We orcs are people of honour and as you helped us out, we of the green skin tribe came to show our gratitude. So say! as long as it is in I Zriork\'s power! I shall make it happen!\' as the goblin chief spoke he used his right fit to repeatedly hit his chest to which other goblins followed causing a loud thump to reverberate around the cave.

"wait give me some time to think about this, this is all too much to take in at once" patting his forehead Elric already felt like these goblins were trouble

"Go! take your time unlike you humans we green skin goblins have never been one to lack patience" watching the goblin\'s performance Elric was sure that these goblins were trouble however, it\'s best not to waste too much time on these goblins.

"Young master are you alright?" It was Davis who said he was being held up by George. it seems the goblins released all of them without him noticing, probably this should be their sign of sincerity. After analysing all the things that just happened he decided to explain the current situation to them and get their advice on where to go from here.

"Young master, I think we should ask them if they know where any other humans gather. after all we can\'t keep on living in a cave" as Davis spoke Gorge next to him eyes lit up also dissatisfied with the cave life.

"Well, it seems there is not much of a debate" after getting their answer now it\'s up to Zriork to see if he knows of any human gathering. After getting their reply Elric immediately went to Zriork.

" Zriork we\'ve reached a conclusion we would like to get your help to find a human gathering" as Elric spoke George and Davis looked nervously hoping for a positive answer.

"Ha-ha-ha," Zriork burst into laughter. ``Do not worry humans, we of the green skin tribe always keep our promises" which was followed by his signature chest bang. "On our way to escape we discovered a human settlement new here, we can lead you here whenever you\'re ready"

"This is the great young master we don\'t have to live here anymore"

"Okay, no need to shout in my ear, Go help the wounded and tell the remaining tribesmen to get some rest, we move out tomorrow!"
