Evolution: Conqueror - Chapter 140

Gray Fortress,

Durzel Greyeyes’s POV,

“Look, Little beast, I believe, Fear is wisdom in the face of danger.” speaking slowly as I looked at the white furred female caged before me.

Then I turned to my raging father who could be seen raging in front of the weapon storage, “It’s a good thing to be tuned in enough to feel fear and figure out why it’s there and what to do about it; that’s what bravery is. You have to be brave to feel that fear long enough to analyze it and keep your self control.”

I pick up a piece of metal from within the fire place, lost in thought as I continued my monologue, “Because when we learn about it, it gives us a real chance to become strong, to find Honor.”

Staring blankly at the Beast girl once again, “When I am afraid, I remind myself that my good decision making ability is only gone for a short while and I need to wait before I can figure things out, But it is also at this time my hunger for power and honor…I guess I’m not much different from my father, Tell me little beast…Do you feel afraid?”

A hollow life escape my lips as I look at Brogg the slaver who stood at the side of the room, “Tell me, does she even understand me?”.

“No”

“Tch…did anyone see you bring her here?” I asked again.

“No”

“…” This time I found the situation strange as he made no movements to leave, so I turned towards him once again, only for a weird gas to spread across my face before I knew it, “Uwak!! kuff!kuff!!”

Brogg sneers at me as continued coughing hard and said, “Stupid welp, lashing out because your father beat you?, to think you actually wanted to mark what isn’t even yours…ridiculous.”

he spoke as He calmly opened the little beast’s cage, grumbling as he worked…

“w…wa…wait!” I struggled to say.

“wait? Silly boy…yours and your father’s fate was sealed the moment he chose to deal with me, Torug Blackmoon…do you really believe you can bargain right now?” Brogg speaks as he walked towards the door before peeking outside. It was then I noticed the fallen guards at the entrance, He began to calmly pull the corpses into the room.

“Kuhum….Kuff!!!” Everything began to slow down, “what is th…this…poison?!! coward!”

“coward?! you are even more of a jester than your father…Vass you can kill him, stop clawing the wall…you’ll attract attention seriously” Brogg says to me before speaking to the beast thing in a strange language.

slash!!

She slashed my already limp body….

______________________________

Torug’s POV,

Looking at Durzel Greyeye’s bleeding corpse, I checked the remaining timer on Brogg before muttering, “they should have gotten to the temporary camp now, I’ll start with the distraction here”

With that thought in mind, I peeked at Kharag’s location, He is presently with his main warriors plotting something and it’s only a matter of time before He asks for Durzel’s presence.

‘now or never’ I picked a firewood from the fire place and began torching Durzel’s entire room, before it spread, I took Vass and headed towards the slaves I had sent to the fortress a while ago.

Blackmoon goblins, presently equipped with our miniature flame thrower…I had unlocked their chains before moving, so the moment I came to the entrance, I nodded solemnly and they rushed out in different direction on the fortress.

‘this time I’m ready to give up this body but I must injure Kharag in the process’ I picked up another batch of Brogg’s stoned fate poisons and rushed out once again.

“hope they’ll be able to see the fire now,…Vass come!”

“FIRE!!FIRE!!!FIRE!!!” series of roars and yelling could be heard from the Fortress’s storage space.

The serfs and warriors scrambled to put out the fire as the head guard kept yelling, “Quick put it out, PUT IT OUT!! UWaaaargh!!”.

Suddenly seeing the Head guard drop dead, confusion and the chaos ensued, “What?!!Look!! the slaves escaped!!”

Another orc warrior screams trying to draw attention, “Catch that filthy oath breaker!!!How can he be so careless!!”.

“KILL!! KILL!! what is that thing?!!!”

Meanwhile, at the temporary camp,

The warriors came out early in the morning…they didn’t bring anything except weapons and a water bag. Under the leadership of their Chief, they made a rapid march for hours until almost four o’clock in the morning before setting up camp amongst the woods, reaching an erosion between the white Mountains and the newly built roads connecting the Grey eye clan to the Blood horn clan etc.

A day ago, Torug had led Moz and his elite guards to survey the route while having a Her team clear the road, so there is no trouble during the night march.

He gave Urim authority over this mission and Moz to support, his four elite clan guards were now guarding his makeshift tent alongside Alpha. Torug then went ahead to make use of the Brand to make sure the battle goes as plan from within the fortress.

The vanguard includes all 40+ ghost wolf riders, Moz’s stealth team of 22, 30+ goblins equipped with flame throwers, Lovan’s special bombs and daggers, 2 Shamans.

This army of about 100 can be said to be the backbone of the Black moon clan, in order to take down the canyon as quickly as possible, Torug brought them out…The other ones would be arriving later.

This army led by Urim waited until 6:23 in the morning.

The plan was to immediately start the attack the moment they spotted fire in the night sky, once done, laying down defense was paramount, in case of an unexpected attack from either the weakened fortress or the Blood horn clan which was their ally.

The logistics party coming later was led by Largash, so Torug was confident in her abilities, it’s not her first time handling a mission besides The main baggage includes food, arrows, tents, etc. are all carried by them. Their task is to provide support later as long as they reach the outpost, so in a way, they were the reinforcement.

Because this battle, Torug has made nearly one-half of the ȧduŀt gobs and orcs in the territory pick up arms and man the walls. Though the Aegis shield is still there, it’s expensive to run and he wants them to start being on their toes, after all this would be more frequent in the future.

The warriors stood solemnly around Urim in the dark. they kept staring at the direction of the Fortress, scared to even blink.

“Raal, This time you will be taking half the riders to attack on the other side of the outpost. We must drive them out and finish them off as fast as possible.”

With a serious expression, Urim looked around and said in a deep voice: “the Grey eye clan came to our lands and killed our people, our Family, someone who hunted game for you and me to eat, was caught and killed without honor in the forest…They want our land, our women!!”

“So all we need to know is that”

“this is revenge”

“Vengeance for our honor”

“Our Chief’s Honor”

“We will not stop until we take their everything for our own”

Urim lifted his Warhammer onto his shoulder and looked at Torug whose eyes remained glowing ominous green light on Alpha’s back, He then looked at the excited warriors with a Sneer, and said the most crucial sentence as he spotted the risen flame that lit up the night sky

-“For our Black moon!!”
