BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45 XLV
"I did give an order before you left, didn't I" Kingsley said to keep them from doing something unwanted
"But My Lord, the Orcs would never surrender to another, it's even better if you just eliminate the entire race" Viktor said trying to change his mind
Listening to Viktor's words and looking at the faces of the Demon goblins, Kingsley couldn't help but think that there was some ancient feud between the two races. They just seem to instinctively want to eliminate each other, Viktor had shown such Xenophobic behaviour before but he didn't think much of it since he thought that Viktor may have had an encounter with an Orc when he was just a regular goblin but from what he was seeing now, all the demon goblins seemed to have such thoughts deep in them.
"We won't know until we test it...…. General, surround the settlement if possible and order a surrender, remember to do it properly, I can see your every action"
"And if they refuse, your majesty?"
"Then wipe them all out" Kingsley answered, he could do it like he did the goblins but Orcs aren't exactly creatures that he wanted in his army.
It may sound racist but Kingsley wanted an army that looked as human as possible and Orcs didn't cut it unlike the goblins that looked like some weird offshoot of humanity. Not only did they not meet the human looks requirement, they were also uselessly big, stupid and savage. They were strong for sure but that was their only saving grace.
"As you wish, Your Majesty/Lord!" Viktor and the general answered at the same time with a satanic smile plastered on their faces. It was clear they knew something that they didn't.
With that, a live video feed of the team and their surroundings was projected onto the screen. On it, Kingsley could see the team who had now pulled out their swords and pistols slowly creep up to the settlement, they looked ready to attack at any moment.
Meanwhile in the settlement they wanted to attack, several massive bipedal pigs could be seen walking around the camp doing one thing or the other.
"Stop, zoom in on the camp, the third tent" Kingsley ordered when he noticed something odd in the camp.
Without hesitation, the pilot of the drone did as Kingsley had asked and immediately a very disturbing image was shown on screen…. Well disturbing to Kingsley but fairly normal to the Demon Goblins.
"Can anyone confirm what type of creature that is" Kingsley asked pointing to the girl who was lying on the floor while being surrounded by multiple Orcs
Looking at the video properly, one could easily notice that she wasn't he only one in such a situation. The Orcs in this settlement must have raided some group and captured them, just a few metres away from them, Kingsley could see the dead body of a creature similar to the girl in the middle of the orcs.
"They are the same as those in the other camp we found, My Lord" Viktor said and immediately Kingsley frowned
He could now understand what the purpose of the Elves was. These Orcs probably attacked a team of elves doing one thing or the other but before they could capture or kill them all, they had already sent out a distress signal of some sort which meant that the ones found in the former camp were here to find them.
"Forget my previous order, eliminate the orcs and the Orcs alone" Kingsley said without any hesitation
He had already lost interest in the group's surrender after seeing such an event. There was a difference between hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes so at the moment, Kingsley wanted nothing to do with these Orcs.
======== Team 2 POV
"Forget my previous Order and Eliminate the orcs and the Orcs alone" his majesty's voice sounded in my mind as I turned to the squad that were all standing in wait.
"Follow me!" I ordered then slowly started moving towards the settlement.
With our fewer numbers, it would be stupid of us to think that we would be able to overpower all these orcs. The best choice of action now was to use the fact that we haven't been found to our advantage, picking up a device from one of the many pockets in my uniform, I screwed it on to the strange device called a gun.
For some reason, I knew that it would help make the gun much quieter so as not to expose our position. Looking around, I saw the others in my squad doing the same. Lord Viktor had said to trust our instincts to guide us for now before our real training, this was probably what he meant. As soon as all of us had 'silenced' our weapons, I charged into the settlement while trying to keep the noise as low as possible.
Pew. Pew
Silenced gunshots were heard as the Orcs began to rapidly reduce in numbers. The team shot whoever they could and stabbed at those that came too close. The assault was moving slowly since we had to check every corner we passed and make sure to eliminate every Orc we found but for some reason, everything in me rejected the idea of a head-on assault.
His Majesty obviously wanted us to rescue the women the despicable Orcs had captured. A heads-on assault could make them kill them if they realise that they couldn't win. We searched each tent for any other prisoners, the Orcs may have captured but we found none.
"General, there is a survivor here, badly injured and near death" a soldier informed through the mysterious communication device given by his Majesty
"What does it look like" I asked
"Like his Majesty but with longer hair and lighter skin colour"
"Use your Aspirin on it for now and carry it to safety, his majesty would decide what to do with it" I ordered
"Yes sir" the soldier replied and immediately got to action
All the Orcs inside the tents had all been killed leaving only those in the middle of the camp and about to perform obscene acts on the woman his Majesty had said to save. We could charge at them now and easily kill them but such chaos can bring about unexpected results so I opted for a better solution.
"Fire when you're ready!" I said
