A grassland about 30km away from Polyfum.

There were hills there, not grasslands.

However, now it has been largely flattened, leaving only a portion of the terrain that can be called a hill.

A housing complex was formed with countless stone buildings lined up on a flat field.

A region where civilization has progressed beyond imagination.

There were as many Orcs living in a huddle in that area.

On the surface, it looked like they were going to do office work, but the lives of the orcs were still focused on the wild.

“Wind direction northeast, wind speed is approximately 4.2.”

“You can feel it all with your skin even without explaining it in words!”

Hiss!

The bowstring left the hand with green skin that blended in well with the grass.

The arrow hanging from the bowstring beat the wind and reached its target.

Soon the arrowhead pierced the neck of the bird that was flapping its wings.

“It’s very simple.”

“Say something strange again… … .”

“Is this the latest trend?”

“This is why today’s generation can’t understand.”

“You just have to leave it to the flow of the times.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about.”

The Orc, whose muscular body was full of scars, still had a wild charm, but the young Orc who accompanied him was different.

Although his body was stocky due to his Orc genes, he was clean and had a good physique without a single blemish.

“That aside, if you didn’t come here to hunt, then calmly return to the village.”

“Don’t worry. I also didn’t come here to play Tangja Tangja.”

“What is that?”

“This is a newly developed weapon. Hunting is just an opportunity and the main purpose is to check the performance of new weapons.”

“Tsk! A sword and a bow are sufficient weapons.”

“Without development, there is no future! Such narrow-minded thinking is what makes the future of Orcs dark!”

“Okay, so do it quickly.”

Orc society where generational differences are prominent.

Just 20 years ago, Orcs lived in wild buildings made of bone and wood and fought like berserkers.

However, as the era of war ended and temporary peace came, the mindset of the new generation of Orcs changed.

As there was less work to do with their bodies, they naturally began to use their brains and made great strides.

Flattening of hills, stone buildings, and even weapons and culture.

The current generation of Orcs has promoted development in many fields.

How about “? What is the power of my modified crossbow?”

“It’s a shame that it seems to have little taste, but its killing power is quite good.”

“Killing the enemy is the most important thing.”

An orc smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the results of hunting with a crossbow.

The old orc holding the bow was slightly displeased, but clearly acknowledged the weapon he had made.

It may be a somewhat unfamiliar weapon, but its power cannot be ignored.

“Anyway, tell me what your business is.”

“Didn’t you tell me? To test the power of my weapon… … .”

“Are you telling me to believe that now?”

“As expected of a former chieftain, you have sharp senses.”

“It’s a compliment, just tell me the business.”

“The power of hardliners is growing stronger. I have a feeling they’ll be pulling out their swords at the afternoon tribal council.”

“Goan bastards… ! I don’t know what kind of devil he’s possessed by, but he’s doing very damned things.”

The generation gap between orcs was not really a problem.

Tribal laws passed down from generation to generation forced the orcs to unite and not harm each other.

Even as generations changed, their laws remained unchanged, so even if there were differences in taste, they did not kill each other.

However, voices were growing that the law needed to be revised.

“Even if we are obsessed with technology or civilization, we Orcs are basically a race with a lot of blood. If we arbitrarily change the laws that our ancestors created by shedding their blood to restore order, there is a possibility that we will enter a period of chaos again!”

Nobu, who could not control his anger, screamed and vented his anger.

How much blood and sacrifice had been made by the Orc tribe before the era of peace that the Orc tribe had entered.

As a tribal leader, he always fought on the front lines, but he did not like the stubbornness of the Orcs who had never experienced war.

Nobu also knew that they should not be discriminated against just because they did not experience war.

However, the hardliners’ attitude was to create their own orc society, even ignoring the efforts made by their predecessors.

I wanted to let go of my anger, but I couldn’t do it.

“Besides, what? Orcs, who have steadfastly maintained their neutrality despite pressure from external forces, should side with the demons? Let’s go until those six o’clock things go!”

“I also think they are truly foolish. But as you know, hardliners are expanding their power every day. Fortunately, the influence of our predecessors is still strong, but the situation will turn over time. Didn’t the great warrior Garoshel return to the earth five days ago?”

“… … Tsk! So what do you want to do?”

“If the hardliners showed up with demons on their backs, we think it would be more efficient to put humans forward.”

“Are we going to do this?”

“Ho? I never thought the former chieftain would have known such a word!”

“Do you want to explode your head?”

“Haha! It’s a joke, joke!”

An orc young man smirking in front of an old man who puts a new arrow on the bowstring and pulls it.

Although his appearance was far from brave, his courage, an essential virtue for Orcs, was ingrained in him.

Therefore, although the former chieftain treated him in a grumpy manner, he did not dislike him.

“So what kind of person are you planning on putting forward? If you look at the level at which they toyed with the fools, the demons that stuck with them must have been no ordinary people.”

“At that time, a report came in from the security unit under my command that they had seen a human man coming towards us. According to his subordinates, he was a man with black hair, which is rare in this area, but his aura was unusual.”

“A human with black hair?”

As soon as he heard the human characteristics, Nobu’s eyebrows twitched.

He seems to have such an impressive figure that you immediately think of him as soon as he mentions black hair.

However, he was frowning and clicking his tongue as if it was just bad luck.

“Yes, he said his physique is average to that of a human adult, and the only weapon he possesses is a sword.”

“If there is only one sword, the chances of it being him are low.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Twelve years ago, when I went to support a tribe living in another area, I met a human that I thought was the most poisonous species. The human’s hair was black.”

“What kind of person are you to call it poisonous?”

“It hurts my mouth to explain everything he did, so I’ll just summarize… … .”

The old lady takes out a bear bag and puts it in her mouth, reminiscing about the past.

It was a refreshing shock that he, the former chieftain, evaluated a person so impressively.

Although he is a retired old man now, when he was on active duty, he was a warrior who went through many hardships and turned the tables.

“First of all, he single-handedly took on more than 100 of his bloodthirsty compatriots and killed them without receiving any injuries.”

“For a human, you are quite an excellent warrior. But is that all?”

“After that, he single-handedly caught 20 thirsty trolls that came in one after another.”

Only then did the orc’s eyes turn wide.

Blood thirst refers to those who have been bitten by a high-ranking vampire and have the urge to suck blood.

The worst curse that maximizes a creature’s aggression with just the desire to drink blood.

You will receive some of the vampire’s power and become nearly five times stronger than before falling into thirst.

Meanwhile, he cannot ignore ordinary trolls and single-handedly defeats a group of trolls who are thirsty for blood.

It was a feat that was absolutely impossible even for a warrior who came from behind.

“Are you a monster?”

“It was a monster disguised as a human. What he did after that was something no human could do.”

“Has someone worse than the Bloody Troll appeared?”

“The person responsible for causing the blood thirst incident has appeared.”

“Vampire… … .”

A vampire who likes to live in the dark.

With high self-esteem, they consider humans, orcs, and trolls to be low-level species, and do not appear in front of them.

His thirst for blood was not caused by himself, but by a familiar like a vampire bat.

Therefore, unless it is a really special case, vampires do not show themselves in person.

“The vampire daughter, who had seen the overwhelming power of humans, smiled arrogantly and made a suggestion to him. He told me to become his family because he would give me eternal life.”

“He must have been such a coveted talent that even vampires personally stepped forward.”

“The world is wide and there are many strong people, but there are not many who can show a performance better than that guy. That’s why the vampire made an unconventional offer.”

“Did you accept it?”

“That couldn’t be possible, that crazy bastard added crazy conditions to the vampire’s offer. You should have listened to what he said back then!”

Nobu started giggling, saying that every word was outrageous.

Like a child immersed in a fairy tale told by his parents, the young Orc was immersed in the story.

It was enough to make the young man, who had always maintained his cool, become impatient.

“What on earth did you say that made you laugh so much!”

“Don’t even say anything. That guy boldly demanded to the vampire’s face that he would take the virgin in exchange for becoming a servant.”

“Aren’t you crazy?”

“The vampire lady must have sensed something was wrong and tried to back out, saying she was anemic. Then do you know what he said?”

“Please don’t hesitate and tell me!”

“He pointed to his crotch, saying he had a 10-month supply of a special medicine to prevent menstruation. The vampire was so disgusted that he ran away and never came around.”

“It’s really poisonous paper.”

“That’s what I said.”

The two orcs, who were seriously discussing how to deal with the hardliners, laughed and chatted while sharing unforgettable memories.

This meant that the person who remained in Nobu’s memories was unique.

But the fun time was short-lived, and the time to correct the conversation that had leaked into another direction came.

“Anyway, are you trying to appease the people who are coming now and use them as a shield to push out hardliners?”

“Are there any other good ways?”

“None. However, if it were an ordinary human being, it would be broken before it could act as a shield. So bring him to me first, I’ll see if he’s a good guy.”

“Let’s do that.”

Afterwards, the two orcs temporarily separated and proceeded with their respective tasks prior to the tribal meeting.

The young Orc, who was the leader of the moderate faction, brought the humans who were loitering outside into the village.

After seeing the human face, Nobu suffered a heart attack from shock and collapsed.

He was 78 years old.
