《A Sleeping Dragon》Orc Lord
Advertisement
Orc lord.
An existence that was equivalent to disaster.
However, it was not because of its strength.
Its strength was formidable, but that was not the one that made orc lord was classified as a disaster.
It was orc lord's ability to command the other orcs.
And it was not limited to ordinary orc.
Orc lord also could control orc champion that had tremendous strength and also orc shaman that could use magic.
Magic was a phenomenon where mana was materialized.
In this case, orc shaman was the same as human mage where they could use magic.
And not only that.
Orc lord also could control the other orcs to arms themselves.
For example was the orc champion who used sword and the orcs that used bow.
The orc lord this time, according to what Franco said, brought an army of two hundred orcs.
But the adventurer guild prepared for the worse and estimated that the number orcs was close to three hundred.
With this much orc, Jahne Town could be annihilated.
The adventurer guild also told the major of Jahne Town about this.
However, the major of Jahne Town was known as a coward.
He was the first person to leave the town.
Leaving behind 2500 resident living in this Town.
Thankfully, the army general of Jahne Town didn't follow the major.
The army would help defend this town.
At first, there were only 200 soldiers, but the general asked all the young men to participated in this battle.
The young peoples gladly accepted it.
No one could live if the orcs breached the town after all.
Now there were 200 full-fledged armies and 500 militias.
The adventurer guild also sent all the adventurer around Jahne Town by offering them a hefty reward.
There were 10 rank C adventurer, 50 rank D adventurer, and also 200 rank E adventurer.
But even then, this number wasn't enough to stop the advance of the orc lord.
A rank S adventurer party was required.

The army general had asked for reinforcements from the capital of Nustara Kingdom.
The adventurer guild also asked for help from the headquarters.
And all their effort paid off.
The kingdom's army of 2.000 men would be sent to Jahne Town.
The adventurer guild headquarter would also send a few rank A adventurer party to Jahne Town.
However, all the reinforcements would only come in two days.
Meanwhile, the scout that the adventurer guild sent had seen some orcs already patrolling outside of Kuriya Forest.
It was estimated that the orcs would attack tomorrow.
It was up to the peoples of Jahne Town whether they could survive or not for this two days.
While the young men was training how to wield weapon, the other peoples didn't just stand still.
They also helped by making some barricades, digging pits, and many other traps.
*****
At the time when peoples were still panicking, Keiman arrived at Jahne Town.
He didn't need to ask what happened, as many peoples were talking about it.
"Hey, did you hear..."
"Is that really..."
"What will happen to us..."
Their voice was full of anxiety, not knowing what would happen to them.
Although the army and the adventurer guild would do their best to defend this town, their safety were not guaranteed yet.
"Orc lord, huh..."
Keiman thought about the orcs horde that he subjugated yesterday.
"Maybe they are just a scout... well that doesn't matter for now."
That was also a possibility.
But the important thing.
The important thing right now was that an orc lord was going to attack this town.
A long time ago, there was also a record of orc lord appearing.
The orc lord was undetected until the orcs it controled grew too large.
Totaling 100.000 orcs.
Yes, 100.000 orcs.
The orcs under orc lord kept rampaging until they even destroyed one kingdom.
Fearing that the orcs would aiming for their kingdoms next, 3 kingdoms made an alliance.

With all their armies were sent to war against the orc lord, they could finally kill the orc lord and the remaining orcs.
The allies also got the help of few rank S adventurer party, tens of rank A adventurer party, and also hundreds of lower rank adventurer party.
Only the rank S adventurer could approach the orc lord and finally killed it.
Meanwhile, the other adventurers and also the armies fought against the orcs horde.
After that disaster, the population of orc decreased significantly.
For ten years, no orc was sighted.
But of course, orc was a monster that was like rat.
No matter how many orcs were killed, they wouldn't go extinct.
That story was then passed down to the later generation as a lesson.
A lesson that even an ant, if their number was enough, they could kill an elephant.
Keiman, who didn't care about what other peoples thought, walked straight to Long Wave Inn.
Entering the inn, Keiman went straight to his room.
Lifting his bed, there Keiman saw his treasure.
A pile of equipments.
From weapons to armors.
No one tried to steal this treasure as no one would believe if Keiman had this kind of treasure as a rank E adventurer.
"I need more arrows."
From what Keiman heard on the way, the reinforcements would only come in two days.
It would be a long battle, as the orcs would probably attack all the time.
Without further ado, Keiman went to weapon shop.
Of course after he put back his bed.
*****
Right now, the weapon store was bustling with activity.
Many peoples went here to arm themselves.
But not many picked bow as it was difficult to used and the amount of arrows were limited.
That's why there were still many bows and, of course, many quiver left.
Kring~
The bell on the door rang when Keiman entered the store, but there was no welcoming from the store owner.
That was because the store was filled with peoples and the store keeper was busy handling the store.
Keiman went straight to bought all the quiver.
A total of 6 quivers.
60 arrows in each quiver totaling 360 arrows.
"I want to buy this."
"300 Rapia for all of that."
After paying the money, Keiman went back to the inn.
(With this, I'm ready.)
Looking at his treasure again, Keiman smiled.
(The time has come.)
Right.
The time has come.
The time to proved his strength to peoples who mocked him.
Proving that they were much worse that the one that they mocked.
(Hahahaha!)
Keiman couldn't wait to saw their expression.
(Maybe I'll rile them up to see much more of their expression? Hahaha!)
Keiman believed that the town could last two days.
It was not that he understimated the orc lord, but he believed what this town could do and also his own ability.
If it was just 300 orcs and few evolved species, Jahne Town would be able to survive for two days.
But of course, no one know the future.
******
At this time, in the deepest room of the adventurer guild.
A magic circle was drawn on the floor.
That magic circle the glowed brightly.
A few moments later, a silhouette of a female appeared.
It was a magic circle of teleportation.
It had many restriction to use but had great utility.
But the most painful thing when activating it was that the amount of magic stone needed to activated it.
If it was cashed, the amount could reach an 80.000 Rapia
Even then this magic circle could only teleport one person.
But the person who came this time someone who was one of the most powerful persons in the world.
A rank S adventurer.
"Welcome to Jahne Town. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help this time, Lady Freya."
She was Freya Srakandi.

Humanity enters the galaxy and makes First Contact, only to begin to realize that not everything is at it seems. It appears that the galactic alien community has forgotten to invent some rather important economic concepts that human civilization has taken for granted.
