I wake up and go outside with my minions. Jack and Ben must have good hearing or something because as soon as I got out of bed they were up and ready. Just like yesterday I do the summoning spell. However this time things are different. Any half decent mage could tell that I am sloppy and slow with my work. When the summoning was done only a single urkai stood before me even though i had used the same amount of mana as yesterday. Thankfully this one was clothed.

“God!”

“Call me Master and Jack and Ben will explain as we walk follow me. Also do you have a weapon?”

He shows me his knife which looks similar to Ben's and Jack's. I snort and start walking to the direction of the forest. Today I want to start hunting orcs to thin their numbers. Although FEAR and PAIN are eating in the forest daily I am unsure if they are hunting orcs or not. As Ben and Jack explain why they are supposed to call me Master instead of God and various other things like what orcs and other beasts are as well as the customs I move forward looking for any signs of large movements of intelligent creatures. Orcs unlike normal animals will Clear trees to make a path to walk on. Much like humans do. After 2 hours I look up and see a dear. Since we haven't found anything all morning and my three minions haven't eaten anything yet I decide to kill it.

I use all my hunting skills from the last world and slowly approach it. I crawl on the ground and move forward. When I get close I charge forward with my sword drawn and it runs away from me and the chase is on! NOT I simple throw a rock from beside me and using Magic crush its head with it. I grab a long skinny tree trunk off the forest floor and stick it all the way through the deer and then I gather wood and put it underneath the deer. I light the fire with Magic and cook the deer pit style. As the deer warms up and starts being cooked the urkai start grabbing the semi and cooked parts off and eat it. I realize after a while that I had not skinned the deer. So I decided to ask them a question.

“how's the food?”

“Godly Master” (Ben)

before I can ask the other two they stuff their faces in their chunks of meat and After a whole hour of being there the whole entire deer has been eaten.

“you guys need to rest or shall we continue on?”

“continue on” (Jack)

Jack was very stiff in his answer which kind of surprised me. Must be pride kicking in, they most likely want to prove they are superior to the newbie or that they aren’t weak to me.

As we move on the urkai easily keep up to my fast walking pace. After an hour of walking I stumble upon what appears to be a large trail. We head in the direction that is away from town and continue on it for a good 30 minutes. That's when I can hear something over the next ridge. I signal to my urkai to stay with basic hand movements and continue on by myself I put my helmet on and pull out my blade as I go over the next ridge.

When I go over it I can see three Orcs looking the wrong way to see me with several people in chains. I quickly return to my urkai and tell my urkai the plan.

We march forward with me at the back when the orcs see us surprise across their faces. As we move closer the orcs seem uneasy but have made no movements towards their weapons. The people look downtrodden. It seems we have crushed and obliterated their small ray of hope.

When we get within 5 meters of the orcs one starts speaking orcish. Which is the sign that my minions are to attack. They do so flawlessly. They all jump forward while quickly pulling out their daggers slashing the orcs throats. The orcs go down choking on their blood and fall down. The goblins quickly took they're terrible armour and try to find any coins. While I stride forward and cut the prisoners cuffs off. There is only 4 prisoners and they don't say anything once they are free. They only look around in confusion. I don't say anything and simple order my Urkai.

“drag them off the road we don't want other orcs to see their bodies”

all three of my minions get up face me and bow while saying

“yes master”

they pull the bodies off the road and i can tell it is quite the workout for them. The orcs are very fat and look like they haven't run around in years if not decades. The once prisoner's look at me before I leave. I still haven't taken off my helmet so they don't know what i am.

“sir please don't leave us like this!”

it was an elderly man who had shouted he appeared to be the oldest of the four men before me.

“....”

“please at least lead us to a village or town!”

“....”

“I am begging you please sir”

“fine, follow me”

We head back into the forest and in the meantime its seems my urkai are building a fire. Right beside the orcs corpses....

“what are you three doing?”

“we are going to eat orcs Master!”

I stare at them blankly and then think hey why the hell not. The orcs have been striped of anything of value and are now naked on the ground. I break a thin but tall tree with my hands and stick an orc on it. I then put one of the orcs onto it and set it over the fire. Not before putting up two other pieces of wood so that the orc sits above the fire however. The four men sit quietly off to the side while my urkai eat all three of the orcs. My urkai's appetite surprises me a lot. They had eaten a huge amount considering that each orc was bigger then one of them. Once they finished we got up and headed back towards home. We had had a long enough day of wandering the forest. We paid no mind to the four men who were arguing. However it seemed the old man won before we got out of sit. We kept up our pace and the whole time we walked I could see the four men panting just to keep up with our pace. We broke out of the forest and arrived back at the capital just before sundown. FEAR and PAIN were sleeping by the main doors. We kept walking and that's when the four men stopped following. Realizing that they were probably scared I turned back and stopped right in front of them. The youngest one probably no older then 15 got on his knees while crying.

“please don't hurt us and let us go free.”

the other three looked like they were about to do the same so I took off my helmet.

“its safe in the town, the Cerberus and the Lizard are tamed so don't worry”

I then turned back walked up to the gate which thankfully opened without me having to throw my authority around. I entered the city and could see the City Guard captain off to the side. I walked right to him and stopped when I was in front of him.

“you see the four men behind me?”

“yup they your mutts too?”

“nope they are to be feed and clothed for the night here is a silver to cover the cost”

I put a silver on the table. Gilbert smiled. His monthly wages were 2 silver. He could get good rooms and good meals for the four of them for a mere 750 copper which meant i had just tipped him 250 copper. I headed back to the keep while Gilbert approached the four men and lead them to part of town known for its good food and beds. If rumours went around that Gilbert was treating war refugees like princes then his reputation in town would be good and over time better then mine. I assumed that was his goal which quite helped me as I wanted to be free of the responsibility of taking care of those four. I walked into the castle and headed to my room. While the three followed. I didn't have anymore blankets so I didn't say anything. It seemed that they did pull off a blanket from the orcs so they put that on the ground and then we all went to sleep.
