Without much thinking, Aaron threw his sword at the robber, and the weapon stuck right in the robber's chest. No doubt, he was dead. Dariowyn was saved, and the two came out victorious after the last robber was killed.Afterward, Aaron and Dariowyn checked their wounds. Aaron had a cut on his arm, while Dariowyn only had a small abrasion on his temple. All that can be overcome with healing potions, and their HP is full again. Aaron and Dariowyn looked at the bodies of the robbers with wide-eyed stares. Aaron then said to Dariowyn, "We have to be careful. I've never heard of The Backbones group before."Dariowyn shook his head, "I haven't heard of them either, lord. But perhaps they are a group of criminals that roam this region."Aaron agreed, "Perhaps. They seem to be very organized and have better weapons than ordinary criminal groups. I don't know what they want from us."Dariowyn sheathed his sword, "That means, there are still others like them along the way."***For a whole day
The orcs' attention was instantly drawn to the sound of the loud shout. For a moment, they stopped attacking and turned their heads toward the origin of the sound, finding Aaron and Dariowyn waving toward them.The orc chieftain leading the charge merely snorted before saying to his men, "Just two weak human adventurers. They won't make us stop or do whatever they want. Just send four warriors to deal with them, while we stay here attacking the garden."The four orc warriors separated from the army to face Aaron and Dariowyn. The look on their faces was unpleasant."Two little scum who can't measure your abilities, because of you we can't have fun in the garden," said one of the orcs."The sooner you die, the sooner we'll get back to having fun. Get ready...."Aaron glanced at Dariowyn with a confused look, then said, "Did they really send us these four weak orcs?"Shrugging his shoulders, Dariowyn replied, "At least that orc army has realized our existence, lord. So even if we attack
Aaron found it hard to do this but he had to keep replenishing supplies in Jade Grass Town by looting it. Otherwise, he and Dariowyn would not be able to continue their journey.Jade Grass Town was the perfect ghost town. Other than the flocks of crows eating the corpses of the townspeople, there was no other life in Jade Grass City. Even the orcs were nowhere to be seen.Aaron and Dariowyn managed to find some logistics to continue their journey from the underground storage rooms in people's houses. He didn't know if the orcs were unaware or too lazy to loot the items in these underground storage rooms.Aaron opened the tap on one of the wine barrels, pouring the delicious drink into the large mug in his hand. Finishing it in one gulp, Aaron's eyes opened wider."This drink does not come from grapes, lord. It is the fermentation of a special grass they call Jade Grass," Dariowyn explained."I see why this town is called that," Aaron said. "They rely on this delicious drink to support
Aaron and Dariowyn arrived at the large gates of Stonehaven Town just as the sun was about to set on the western horizon."Enemy!"Several soldiers who were standing guard at the top of the town's fortress tower immediately gave a warning as Aaron and Dariowyn approached. An army of archers was immediately readied, aiming bows toward them.Yet, before everything was too late, Aaron quickly took off his helmet and revealed his true face."I am human and I am not the enemy!"Following his master, Dariowyn also removed the helmet from his head.The guard soldier signaled for the archers to lower their weapons, before asking Aaron and Dariowyn, "Why are you wearing orc armor?!""So that we can arrive at this place in one piece," Aaron replied in a loud voice so that his words could be heard from the top of the tower."Why are you coming to Stonehaven Town?""To join your army, fighting the orcs." Aaron chose a simple answer, one that the troops of Stonehaven Town would certainly not be ab
Because Aaron currently had the same position as a warlord, he got an empty villa that was luxurious enough to live in for a while, at least until the war was over.After making sure that the villa didn't have any listening devices or anything like that, Aaron called Dariowyn to open a unique item given to him by the village chief in Prosperity Village.The item was kept in a medium-sized wooden box with beautiful carvings on it."Lord, my wild mind tells me that this is a trap," Dariowyn said idly."Dario, don't make me doubt at a time like this." Aaron gave Dariowyn an unhappy look."Forgive me, lord." Dariowyn bowed his head."It is not a problem. There's no way that the village chief would give us anything dangerous after we helped him and his village. You have nothing to worry about."Aaron said that boldly, but his hands trembled slightly as he began to lift the lid of the wooden box. Inevitably, he anticipated the possibility of what Dariowyn had said. But when the wooden box
Aaron didn't panic at all. He remained calm. Even more than that, he inwardly praised Rong En's quick and agile movements.'She's very fast, like a samurai who takes out his sword when he realizes the danger. I should learn from her after dodging this attack.'"[Thunders Sword: Blink Step]!"Although the magic attack sent out by Rong En was already classified as extremely fast, it could never be faster than the [Thunders Sword: Blink Step] that Aaron mastered. The attack was easily dodged.However, Aaron had to pay for it with a huge hole in his living room wall.Boom!The magic spell shattered bricks with ease, creating a perfectly round hole in the living room wall.Aaron coughed as the dust from the explosion flew around the room. Shaking his hand, he looked at Rong En and said, "That was a very quick move, Rong. If I didn't have the special skills to evade that magic spell, I would have met the same fate as this wall."Rong En instantly realized that she had just made a dangerous
Aaron gulped as his face began to sweat. While on the other side, Rong En looked at him with an uncomprehending look. The girl surmised, did Aaron execute a crime at Leen's house?"Aaron, is everything alright?" Rong En decided to ask directly."Y-yes, I'm fine." Aaron wiped the sweat from his face while trying to smile. "Thank you for your help, Rong. If it wasn't for you, I would have been in trouble. Now that your work is done, you can go."Coughing softly, Rong En's face turned red as she said: "If you don't mind, I'd like to stay in Stonehaven Town for a while.""But, what for?" asked Aaron. "You must know that this town is unsafe right now, isn't it?""Absolutely," said Rong En. "I want to help you.""Are you sure? I can't guarantee that you won't get knocked out in this dangerous battle. There are more than a hundred thousand trained orc warriors outside the city walls, they could attack us at any time while the current city guard troops still don't have enough strength to anti
Aaron added that all players would gather in a large meadow a few miles south of Stonehaven Town, a place called Grassland Haven."Why don't they gather in the town, lord?" asked Dariowyn."That is not possible, Dario. The Orc army has surrounded Stonehaven Town from all sides, making it almost impossible to reach the town from the outside. So we will attack them from the outside, suppress them from the inside."With such a two-pronged attack, even an army from a large kingdom would feel overwhelmed. Moreover, the orcs did not have the same intelligence as humans.Aaron felt confident that Stonehaven Town would gain victory in this battle."In that case, what do we say to the town guard?" Dariowyn asked again."You don't need to burden your mind with that, Dario. Let me do it, it's my duty."After asking Dariowyn to stay in the villa, Aaron immediately left for the army barracks to meet the combat commander.On the way, he saw many soldiers going around and knocking on the doors of th
