“Ruyk, cease enjoying round! I have to know what number of!”

“There are quite a bit! Like plenty of tons! Like not possible to depend all!”

This is not going to work, let’s change the query.

“Are there extra orcs on the doorway than elves on the cave?”

“Hmm….sure!”

I checked out Stone within the eyes, he regarded again at me.

Love’s within the air-NOT! We obtained an issue!

“I’ll name all in a position fighters!”

“OK, I’ll make the tunnel thinner to make taking pictures simpler. Ruyk, keep right here observing the orcs, come warn me as quickly as they enter that door!”

“Sure, Grasp!”

Stone left the tunnel in a rush whereas I stayed behind to regulate our defenses.

Making the hall thinner was pretty straightforward for me, so it solely took a number of minutes. After I used to be accomplished, so I went again to the wall I made earlier than than made certain it was as excessive because it could possibly be. Sadly the very best it could possibly be was not excessive sufficient and there was nothing I may do.

Hmm…what else can I do?

Time flies once we are busy and simply as I ended to scratch my head, attempting to suppose on a plan, Stone arrived again with a bunch of elven troopers who have been serving to organizing the camp.

“Welcome again.”

“Hmm. How are issues? Have they began transferring?”

“Not but. I left Ruyk watching, he ought to inform us as quickly as they seem.”

“So, did you inform Bia about the issue?”

“I did, however they weren’t prepared for motion. It will take them one other ten, fifteen minutes to organize, so I assumed it was higher to come back again earlier.”

“Fifteen minutes? Why do they want this a lot time?”

“They should put armor and get their potions prepared…”

“Sigh…I want they took issues a bit extra severe…”

My speak with Stone was interrupted by Ruyk’s scream from afar.

“MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Nicely, it looks as if they’re lastly transferring out.”

“Yeah.”

Stone turned to his warriors and began a speech to rise the ethical. I turned to Ruyk who simply arrived and gave him new orders.

“Go to the skeletons guarding the subsequent flooring and produce them right here. Additionally deliver the child’s wolf, it ought to have the ability to assist us out as effectively. And….no, that is it. Go!”

Fearing that if I ask any extra Ruyk will neglect one of many first orders, I let him go along with solely two duties…

I turned to Stone once more and noticed him distributing glowing arrows to the archers.

“What are these?”

“These are magic arrows. They’ve elevated penetration, dealing extra harm and piercing widespread shields.”

“You misplaced your fort even having issues like this?!”

“They take time to organize and have for use in lower than every week after being made or the spell begins dropping it is impact. Truly due to the elders conservative choices the arrows weren’t prepared in time for that battle, or else the outcome could be completely different. To make sure the identical mistake did not occur once more Geo ordered us to maintain making them irrespective of if we have been going to lose them or not.”

“It appears I must thank Geo later.”

“Yeah, however we’ve to outlive first.”

As we have been speaking, one of many archers all of the sudden referred to as out.

“They’re coming!”

Contemplating the additional mana I had saved I made a decision to solid my most harmful spell, Fireball.

Concentrating mana on my finger, I began drawing the magic circle within the air. It was a sluggish course of but it surely was the very best I may do now as I had no private grimoire nor spell seals. On the brilliant facet, due to the fabric constraints being elevate I may overflow the circle with Mana and make my fireballs quite a bit stronger than the traditional spell.

As I completed drawing the magic circle the enemies arrived on the different facet of the hall, so I launched my magic on the similar time the elves shot their arrows.

Increase!

Our assault catch the enemy unprepared and we killed them and simply as I needed to commemorate a job effectively accomplished one other group of enemies appeared.

“Fuck! There are extra of them!”

At my facet Stone drew his bow once more and shouted as he shot a brand new arrow.

“Do not panic! All we have to do is preserve preserve taking pictures! We obtained hundreds of arrows left and so they have nowhere to run!!”

He was proper, it was no time to panic. I took a deep breath and began getting ready magic once more.

As they shot one other one, two barrages of arrows the second group succumbed as effectively, however state of affairs wasn’t good in any respect. The third group, who was simply after the second was already half approach via the hall and our archers arms have been beginning to tire from the repeated taking pictures.

Shoo!

Shoo!

Shoo!

BOOOM!

The third group was largely killed, I lastly completed charging my magic and exploded the fourth group who was halfway via.

On the opposite facet I heard an orc shouting as quickly as my explosion was over. The opposite orcs obeyed his command and began a reckless cost as a substitute of the defensive march they have been utilizing up till now.

Our archers did what they might and lowered their numbers by half however there have been simply too many and shortly they began to succeed in the wall that separated us. Our lancer began doing their job, piercing and hand or head that appeared climbing the partitions or typically merely kicking them again.

The state of affairs stabilized and I began pondering that if nothing modified the victory could be ours, sadly because the seventh and eighth teams of enemies have been charging towards us one thing did change, we acknowledged operating out of arrows! With no arrows to shoot, the archers grabbed no matter dagger, sword or spear they might discover and joined the melee.

I noticed one other two teams arriving and hastened my fireball, destroying one in every of them, as for the opposite, they joined the meele and began placing strain on us and successful house over our partitions.

Presently Ruyk arrived again, bringing with him the thunder wolf and the skeletons. With their power added to our facet steadiness was as soon as once more recovered but it surely was only a matter of time till our protection collapse as our warriors strikes have been getting slower and slower as a consequence of fatigue.

After which it occurred. The primary elf fell, after which the second and a 3rd.

Stone was with them, doing his finest to assist out, when he was pieced hello the again by an orc who simply climbed the wall. He cried out in a single final transfer tackling the orc who minimize him and pushing him out of the wall.

However the orcs did not cease, they saved climbing over one after one other and shortly the one factor between me and them was the younger thunder wolf. As for Ryuk and the skeletons, I had overlooked them.

The younger wolf bravely fought, taking one orc after one other. Whereas his fur was unable to generate lethal thunder, the decrease voltage it may generate already proved helpful as a lot of the orcs who touched it is fur have been briefly paralyzed. Sadly warfare was no sport and the orcs quickly joined collectively and assaulted the younger wolf , killing him.

Seeing them reach destroying my final protection, I gave up casting my magic and took out my warfare hammer. As an alternative of ready them to assault me, I charged on the closest and hit towards his head with all my power. The orc who laughed at me, pondering I used to be only a skinny mage, obtained the final shock of his life as his weapon broke and moments later so did his head.

The orcs round me obtained shocked at my power and could not react in time as I attacked many times, taking our one other three orcs with precisely the identical brute power technique. Lastly they awakened from their day dream and began taking actions to encompass me. As for me, I began slowly retreating many times till my again hit in opposition to the wall.

Fuck! Is that this it? My life is over?

I noticed their weapons approaching me in sluggish movement as I coated my physique with Mana, attempting to guard myself.

Bang, the primary weapon clashed in opposition to my warfare hammer, sending my physique in path of the wall. I closed my eyes ready for the collision…

.

..

…

??

I opened my eyes once more and found I used to be contained in the partitions.

FUCK! I FORGOT TO TURN OFF BUILDING MODE!

Fortunately that was what saved me.

I Activated Mana sight and noticed the orcs confused near the wall.

Directing my Mana to cowl my warfare hammer, I did a full swing and killed the curious orc with a single smash.

How was that saying? Curiosity killed the cat? Nicely, extra like curiosity killed the orc!

Sadly the kittens(orcs) obtained scared and stepped away from the partitions.

With me out of hazard, I took the time to have a look round and determine on what to do.

I could not let state of affairs preserve scaling like this, I needed to flip it over proper now.

Then I bear in mind how a lot bother they needed to kill a single thunder wolf.

If one offers them this a lot bother, what about ten?

Perhaps ten is wishful thinking-Wait! No! Perhaps I can do it!

I had numerous topaz and silver, the one drawback was Mana. However because the battle progressed, the orcs have been killed and the Dungeon began absorbing an increasing number of Mana. Proper now the very last thing I used to be missing was Mana! As I regarded over the menu, it was over eight thousand items!

OK, I can do that!

I swam via the partitions till I reached the opposite facet of the tunnels the place the orcs have been coming from.

Then I made somewhat closed room and began summoning.

“Summon! Ten Thunder Wolves infants!”

[Understood!]

The sunshine from the summoning circle illuminated the room and shortly the wolves appeared in entrance of me. I opened the passage and shouted.

“Assault!!!”

The puppies adopted their instincts and pounced over the orc’s backs, biting their necks.

The shock assault was tremendous efficient however quickly the orcs began to reply.

This isn’t sufficient, I would like extra!

“Summon! Ten Thunder Wolves infants!”

[Understood!]

…

“Assault!”

Another time!

“Summon! Ten Thunder Wolves infants!”

[Understood!]

…

“Assault!”

Good! This appears to be sufficient!

I took out my warfare hammer and charged on the confused orcs, killing them one after the other as I led my puppies military to counter assault the orcs.

As we entered the hall the orcs obtained confused, not perceive what was happening. The one who commanded them was nowhere to be discovered and their reinforcements had changed into wolves who have been attacking them from behind. Seeing their confusion I did not let the prospect slide, and ordered the wolves to assault.

The battle ended pretty quick as there was only some teams of orcs left. Our numbers have been the identical however that is the place the similarities ended. My wolves have been energetic and prepared whereas the orcs the place both drained or confused.

Lastly, because the final group fell under the wall, I noticed over the wall just a few acquainted faces wanting down. There was the Mad Canine, the Twins, the Berserker and Bia’s boyfriend alongside a dozen or so of surviving elves whose identify I do not know.

Stone was not there…neither was the skeletons, nor Ruyk…

.

..

…

Sigh…

And so, I collapsed.
