Novel Bin Chapter 267 A Stubborn Race
"Your question is a good one. While we were not expecting the orcs to attack so soon, we are not scared of them, that is for sure. Even if they were to bring a few million orcs, they would not last very long." Blake explained. This caused everyone except those who were in the know to stare at him in shock. Such words were not something many could say! Not even the dragonic dare say they could easily wipe them out!
"Lord does not lie. He has the power to easily wipe out most of the orcs on his own, never mind the people at his side. He went against my men of at least two thousand, and I ended up losing even in a duel." Onz stood up to reassure everyone. "I was once a general of the very orc clan that is on its way. Orcs are very frontal with their attacks. We think strength is everything, so we do not know the combat of the people here. When I first learned it, I was utterly stunned, and the more I learned, the more I realized how flawed my orc clan was when it came to war. How flawed the ways of the ancient world truly are. If it does come down to war, I can promise you that we will never lose."
"I see… To have an orc general say so, then I feel much better. Lord Blake, I do apologize for doubting your abilities." jit lowered his head apologetically.
"No, it\'s fine. Even if the orc king himself showed up, there would be no issue. Not with the people, we have in his city. We have enough military force at this time combined with our weapons to take an orc king on alone without my wife Lillia getting involved." Blake replied. He had no problems being questioned by the new races. He wanted them to feel secure, so such questions were truly welcomed.
"Nyask nya a question?" The cat girl raised her hand, staring at Blake with her cute cat like eyes.
"Go ahead." Blake smiled. He really liked how the cat girl talked.
"Nya like Nyas?" Blake almost let out a laugh when he saw the cat girl acting all cute as she winked at him while swishing her tail back and forth. He wondered who she learned that from. He turned his eyes towards Tina, who was suddenly looking away, whistling at the ceiling.
While it was hard to understand what her words were, Blake got the gist of it and smiled with a nod. "I will talk it over with my wives later."
"I would also like to ask the same question." The harpy leader raised her wing. Blake looked at her bird girl and nodded as he said: "I will ask for you too."
"Woof! Me!" The dog girl looked panicked as she barked and finally spoke a single word. While these three girls had contracts put on them, Lillia \'accidentally\' left out the charm effect block from it. She seemed to be selecting the ones who would become part of Blake\'s harem.
"We will discuss it later. For now, let\'s stay on the matter at hand. Who was the last to see the orc front line?" Blake asked.
"That would be us." The pixie leader flew up into the air. Unlike Fairies, pixies had very sharp looking teeth and seemed to be more aggressive. "Those damn orcs came running up on our newly built village and attacked us in the early morning. We could only quickly retreat using illusion magic, but there I am sure they had already passed through it by now. That was three days ago."
"Okay, so they are sure to be in a week at the latest. Lillia, have the barrier extend past the outposts. Bret, have our soldiers dig in and make sure they are ready for the orc onslaught. Bring out all the new weapons. We do not want them to reach our city walls. We will stop them before they get close to it. My golems will also join in on this fight to add to the line up. They are basically walking death machines anyways. I want all women and children to be ready to hide in the base once things start to go down. We do not want any accidents. Get the elderly down as well. All able bodies will participate in this battle.
"This battle will decide if we truly can survive in this world later on. Because I am sure, the dragonic will soon discover this location as well. Once they do, we will be in an all out war with them. Dragons will soon burn the forest to ash…." Blake hated all of this but this was just how it is.
"Ummm…." The Euruna leader raised her hand.
"Please speak." Blake almost go lost in his speech once again. He always seemed to overdo his speeches.
"Yes… My name is Leafia. I saw a few dryads about three miles out from your outposts. They will not leave their trees once fused to them, and they can not move them by themselves. They are a stubborn race. If the orcs do come, they will be ripped from their trees and made into playthings." Leafia did not know how else to put it. "I asked them to come with us, but they ignored me."
"We will check this out as well. We will save who we can. But if we go out and they still do not want to leave, then there is nothing we can do. But I will try my best to save them." Blake sighed. He had heard rumors about dryads, but he did not know exactly how they were. But now it seems they were a stubborn bunch. Blake looked at Leafia and asked: "Can you lead us there later?"
"I can. It is not far from here. About ten minutes at most by foot." Leafia replied.
Blake nodded and looked at the others. "Everyone should settle in. Follow the orders of the military. Help where you can. As long as we make a place in this world for ourselves and protect it, we can live as we please."
