The next day.
I spoke to King of Sorceras about the practice with the magic swordsmen last night, and he readily agreed.
It’s a rare opportunity to practice with a hero, he said, almost as if he wanted to ask for it himself.
With the prospect of some fun after work, I head towards my original goal, the subjugation of the orcs.
Here's how it's planned. I take the women who have accompanied me and head to the forest where the orcs are hiding. They'll likely appear to them as the women are the most attractive prey. As you can probably guess from the fact that they were chosen for my duty, they are no mere helpless women. They have the ability to put up magical barriers and protect themselves. Their role is to act as a decoy. It's up to me to hunt down the orcs that swarm them.
The soldiers led by the magic swordsmen are waiting at the gates of the town. I have asked them to defend the town in case the orcs head towards it. However, their main role will likely be to clean up the orcs' corpses. I have no intention of letting even one of them get close to the town.
I stepped into the forest in question. The scent of fresh green leaves, unique to the forest, tickled my nose. It would have been a fine place if it weren't for the danger, but it was the home of the orcs. A precious forest in the desert. It was a place that Sorceras definitely didn't want to lose by making any careless moves.
Knowing this, the orcs are reluctant to come out easily. It should be a very comfortable home for them, with a town of humans close at hand, from whom they can easily kidnap females. What should I do if they are slow to come out? You can't get the dragon's treasure without entering the dragon's den. I would have no choice but to go and see for myself.
I've asked three people with good long-distance vision to watch over me so that they can keep an eye on my actions. It seems the desert people have good eyesight. I can't see them, but I can tell they're watching me. Thinking about this, I walk slowly for about an hour. When we reached a somewhat open area, the orcs appeared.
They've finally made an appearance. They're no fools. They've shown themselves with an overwhelming numerical advantage. It would have been impossible for them to act like this on the day the knights were dispatched, as they would have been on guard. They bare their fangs and wear nasty grins. Well, I'll stop them from making that face soon.
They were all paying attention to me, who was at the front. I have androgynous features, and they have paid a lot of attention to my appearance. I'm wearing a cloak so it's hard to see the lines of my body. There are many reasons like this that the orcs might think I'm a woman. Swords, spears, and axes. The orcs approached, each with their own weapon in hand.
