Philgrea Central Continent.

Even after Leon left for the Yeom Country, various incidents and accidents were happening here.

And I would like to pick out some of the most representative cases among them.

The first incident to mention is the 【Orc Central Invasion】.

Orcs are originally monsters that exist in the West Continent of Philgrea. However, unlike common monsters, each individual is different, but they have a certain level of intelligence, so you must be extremely careful when dealing with them.

One more thing.

A unique point is that there are basically three types of orcs.

These are classified into three types: High Orcs, Red Orcs, and Giant Orcs.

The orc itself is basically 1.5 to 2 times the size of an adult male, and has more strength than that.

In addition, High Orcs have the ability to make their own weapons, although clumsy, and demonstrate excellent combat abilities by arming themselves with them.

Red Orcs also use weapons, but instead of specialized weapons like High Orcs, they use more primitive forms of weapons.

However, Red Orcs use a special power called engraved magic, which allows them to greatly strengthen the power of their bodies or use attacks similar to human magic, which makes them different.

Giant Orcs, in the case of Giant Orcs, are gigantic orcs that are about 10 times larger than ordinary orcs.

They have as much strength as their size, and although the number of individuals is much smaller than that of High Orcs or Red Orcs, they are orcs that demonstrate the potential of being worth a hundred men.

Typically, it is said that more than 100 ordinary soldiers are needed to fight one Giant Orc, and their strength and vitality are threatening.

“We are! Strong!! Hweek!!”

“Strong! Hweeek!!”

These orcs are certainly dangerous beings, but in reality, few people in the center recognized them as a threat.

This is because they basically acted in tribal units, and generally did not cross over to the central region. Even if there were orcs who crossed over, the number was only 20 to 30, so it was at a level that could be adequately dealt with by the human army.

Of course, there were some, like the Giant Orcs, who were threatening even in small numbers, but in their case, they rarely crossed over to the center, so the easygoing perception of orcs itself did not change.

“Let’s seize the bountiful land! Hweeek!!”

“Follow our chieftain! Krshalka! Hweeek!!”

In this situation, an orc called Krshalka was born among the High Orcs.

Krshalka, a High Orc with exceptional intelligence even among orcs, and even more exceptional wisdom among those High Orcs, thought.

“Why are we living this kind of life?”

The land in the western continent of Philgrea, especially where the orcs were located, was a land with scarce food resources.

On the other hand, there were quite a few monsters that were quite dangerous for orcs.

In other words, it was a poor land that was not good to live in.

Krshalka turned his gaze to the bountiful lands of the central continent, which bordered the plains where they resided.

“Humans are weaker than us. Yet humans live in good lands.”

What is the reason?

Why can weak humans occupy and maintain such good land?

There was only one reason.

“Humans cooperate with each other to exclude external enemies.”

Cooperation.

The most unfitting word for an orc.

However, Krshalka judged that cooperation was the only strength that would allow orcs to live in good land without worry.

Therefore, Krshalka honed his abilities.

For orcs, truth is power.

In order to assert his will to his compatriots, there was no other way but to train his strength. Krshalka persuaded his High Orc compatriots, and then persuaded the other compatriots of the Red Orcs. He also succeeded in persuading them, creating a High Orc and Red Orc alliance.

The High Orcs used the engraved magic of the Red Orcs,

The Red Orcs used the excellent equipment of the High Orcs,

The combat abilities of the orcs, who exchanged each other’s strengths, increased exponentially.

“Compatriots! We are strong!!”

“”””””Strong! Hweeek!””””””

At least 6000 orcs roared.

Confirming the sight, Krshalka shouted in a serious voice.

“Yet we are living meagerly in these remote areas!!”

“Meager!”

“Hungry!”

“No food! Hweeek!”

Compatriots responded one by one.

“That’s right! But look beyond that! Why do humans, who are weaker than us, live abundantly!”

None of the orcs could answer.

Because none of them knew.

Therefore, Krshalka shouted.

“That’s because humans cooperate! Weak humans gather together and drive out their enemies! Then how much stronger would we be if we, who are much stronger than humans, gathered together!!”

“Incredibly strong!”

“Strong!”

“Follow me!! Compatriots!! We are heading to the land of humans!!!”

About 3200 High Orcs.

About 3700 Red Orcs.

About 160 Giant Orcs.

A combined army of over 7000 orcs headed to the central continent all at once, and the destructive power of their advance was beyond imagination.

The sturdy walls could not withstand the power of the Giant Orcs and collapsed.

The force of about 6000 orcs was unmatched by any human army that confronted them head-on. As a result, the kingdom located in a geographical area close to the West Continent was captured only about a week after the orcs crossed over from the West Continent to the Central Continent.

“These damn orcs…, what are you doing crawling in here?”

“We need to deal with them quickly.”

Of course, the Central Continent dispatched heroes to deal with this anomaly.

Hero Abel, Hero Lagna.

These two heroes were dispatched with their parties to stop the orc advance, but…

“Kuh-ack!!”

“Keo-eok!!”

“Humans, weak.”

The heroes were swept away, unable to withstand Krshalka’s blow.

In the end, they failed to stop the orc advance, and several countries were captured.

Of course, they were only small countries, and what they needed was land and food, so there were no massacres of ordinary people.

However, the human army was thoroughly trampled.

This was the 【Orc Central Invasion Incident】, which has not yet been resolved.

* * *

The second incident was the 【City of Witches】 incident.

This incident occurred around the same time as the Orc Central Invasion.

It was an incident that occurred in Valpurea, a small city-state in the northern region of the Philgrea Central Continent, and it was an incident in which wizards called the 『Black Dawn Society』 occupied the city-state.

The wizards of the Black Dawn Society, who invaded Valpurea, used tricks on the king, making the king intoxicated with the color of the witch, and through his own contract, he dedicated his body, soul, land, and country to the Black Dawn Society, causing a large number of civilians in Valpurea to turn into zombies.

In order to solve this, the human allied forces and the paladins of the Holy Kingdom were dispatched, but they were all sacrificed to the overwhelming number of zombies and the attacks of the black magicians, and the whole story became known to the world. They called the city they occupied a sanctuary dedicated to the Demon King.

“What are we going to do about this?”

“Orcs are rampaging in the west, and the Demon King’s army is rampaging in the north…”

“The two heroes failed to stop the orc invasion, which we thought would be easily resolved compared to the Demon King’s army, so what is going on?”

“The country where the hero is born must devote all its efforts to nurturing the hero, but what have you been doing that the hero is defeated by mere orcs!”

A problem that seemed to be deliberately created.

Neither can be left alone. But there is no way to solve it.

The leaders of each country discussed how to find a solution, but no special content came out.

Rather, they were busy passing the blame on to each other.

“Where is the third hero in the first place!”

“Adomos Prune! Do you really not know?”

“Hmm….”

The king of the Prune Kingdom, the homeland of the hero Leon. The blame was passed on to Adomos, but he couldn’t say anything else. If he could have found the hero Leon, who disappeared without saying where he was going, he would have found him long ago and asked him to solve the current problem.

“He is probably working hard in another place…”

“The orcs are invading now, and the Demon King’s army is trying to expand their power, what kind of leisurely words are those!”

“Ahem….”

“Anyway, it seems we have no choice but to hold on for now. At least until the two heroes recover from the wounds they suffered from the orcs.”

The leaders of each country dispersed without presenting any solutions.

Orcs and the 『Black Dawn Society』.

These two forces attacked the Central Continent at the same time due to a series of coincidences, and a great atmosphere of war began to swirl around the Central Continent.
