Hero Manufacturing Machine - Intermission - Subjugation of Orcs - Chapter 19

Meanwhile. Some of the orcs seem to be a little clever, and they desperately use gestures and movements to beg for forgiveness from the terror before them, in other words, from me. What did the orcs do to someone who was begging for forgiveness like that? Obviously, there's no way they'd forgive them. So I have no choice but to give the same answer as them. I'll make an equal bloodbath. There was no way they could be forgiven after they'd once bared their fangs at someone and then apologized when they were in a bad situation. If they want to show their submission, it's meaningless unless they do so before crossing swords.

Some of the orcs tried to surprise me by pretending to surrender, but of course I knew what to do. I had them go to the same place as their comrades who had set out earlier. Without wasting much time, I wiped out the horde of orcs. All that remained were the corpses of the orcs. Corpses as far as the eye could see. Corpses, corpses, corpses, corpses, corpses. Literally piled high with corpses. "Is this the work of a human...!?" "It's as if a dragon had made a mess of everything...!" That's what the soldiers who came to clean up afterwards said.

I felt like I'd gone a bit too far, but I guess that's how it was. This was to make them feel a moderate amount of awe, that the hero's power is great, and that it would not be wise to make Braidea their enemy. We're reliable when we're on your side, but terrifying when we become your enemy.

I take this opportunity to assert and appeal that I'm this kind of person. After providing some rough information, I head to the royal castle of Sorceras to report that I have completed my extermination of the orcs. Strictly speaking, I have not destroyed all the orcs in the forest.

Somewhere in this forest is the orc's base, and there is no doubt that there are adolescent monsters there. However, it is not my job to find them or eliminate them. My job is to solve problems that this country cannot handle, and problems that can be solved do not fall under that category. Hunting the remaining orcs is all about numbers, so manpower is absolutely necessary. That is the job of the people of this country. And thus, the official objective of defeating the orcs was completed.
