Evolution: Conqueror - Chapter 143
Torug’s POV,
I stood at the entrance of the out post’s storage. the place was filled with weapons and food, all in a messy pile.
‘hmph orcs’ I thought cynically as I thought about a scene from an old fantasy movie.
“Urim, have the warriors change their weapons for a better one.
Give them food as well, Largash would soon be here”.
Urim hummed a reply while stroking his beards, this made me look at him strangely. He gave me a knowing smile before walking away with a coarse hehehe….
“Hey!! Urim!! what mischief are you up to again?!!”I couldn’t help yelling, the big guy only chuckled loudly in response.
‘that’s even more fishy…he didn’t say anything’ I look at Moz for answer but she was only glaring at the retreating Urim.
Unable to get any answer, I walked towards Alpha who was ŀɨċkɨnġ his fur.
“Look at how busy you are” I tossed a snow ball at him while speaking only for him to shake roughly.
“hohoho” laughing at his reaction I decided to rest on his sides, “I hope your ready, the big fights is about to start”
He rolled his eyes at me before snorting, the action looked funny to me and I didn’t know when I began laughing.
“They’re here!!!” a Hobgoblin rider yells while rushing in through the gates, everyone got into battle mode immediately and the previous leisurely atmosphere was no where to be seen.
The hobgoblin made his way to me and says with a salute, “My Chief, Largash has arrived with the reinforcements and supplies”.
“Good” I Pat his shoulder lightly before heading towards the gate, it didn’t take long for Moz to appear from my Shadow.
She glanced lightly at the others around me and became somewhat guarded, “My Chief, one of my people spotted a team of Grey eye warriors on foot.
they seem to be in a hurry”.
“on foot…how many of them?”
“about 10 of them”
With a nod, I turned towards the outpost and shouted, “Alpha!”.
The big guy casually walked towards me but his tail exposed his excitement, so I laughed as I jumped unto his back.
“Moz, help me organize the goblins to handle the equipment and supplies brought by Largash.
Although I trust my brother but he… let’s just say arranging stuff isn’t one of his charms hahaha” I say with a laugh before charging towards my exercise. the guards and a few raiders followed after me.
we rode for about 15 minutes and saw a party of 10 with a Mish mash of equipments.
Soon they spotted our figures and went into battle stances while shouting, “This is Chief Kharag greyeye’s lands!, Who are you!!”.
I chose to ignore his words, and increased my speed instead.
Alpha probably felt my urge to battle and used it’s pack skill {Haste}, increasing the charging speed of all the wolves in the group.
“Kill!!” I roared out.
The leader of the enemy group soon Charged forward in a scattered manner as he cursed at me “You fool!”.
Urging Alpha to ram into their leader, He attempts to avoid this by Jumping straight at me, only for Alpha to raise it’s mouth and bite his ankle before dragging him down.
His actions led to an accident where we all went stumbling onto the ground, Dust and rubble flew into the air. Upon feeling myself touch the ground, I rolled to my feet fast enough to spot Alpha trying to lift the orc with his bite.
The orc struggled and then attacked with his Makeshift Blade, Alpha jumps backward slightly, narrowly dodging the blade before rushing for the kill.
This time he aimed for the Orc’s neck, He calls out in hysteria “Argh help me with this swine!!”.
‘looks like he has really been itching for a fight hehe’ while being amused, Two orc warriors changed targets and headed for Alpha, another one headed my way.
Immediately I used reckless charge and intercepted those heading for Alpha, I grabbed one of the approaching Orcs by its head and gave him a head buŧŧ, knocking him down.
I tossed [Eclipse] at another before lifting the fallen orc and tossed him at the last attacker.
‘They felt so weak, to think I was once at their level… Second circle huh’ while thinking about this, I walked up to the dead orc and picked up my battle-axe.
guggle… grrr
The other two were enraged, the screams of their leader was still echoing in the background along with the surrounding combat.
“aaagh!” the first one comes forward and I sidestepped, avoiding the club in his hand. His partner following behind tried to attack but I slashed across his ċhėst before grabbing him by the neck.
Turning around, I placed the orc in front of me, just in time for his teammate to smack him across his face with a club.
“Wow you really didn’t hold back” I teased before beheading the confused orc.
His face was filled with pride, obviously waiting for me to praise him. so I smacked him lightly on his head while reprimanding him, “don’t try that next time, what if we are in a bigger battleground? you would have gotten us killed with your recklessness…huh? what’s that look? what do you mean you know?”
“My Chief, one of them had escaped” an elite clan guard quickly reported as I was bickering with Alpha.
“Let him be, that’s what I wanted anyways… we’ll be attacking tonight” I explained while mounting Alpha, “Let’s go, we need to survey the area before heading back”.

A few minutes ago at the outpost,
Urim’s POV,
“ah! ah! ah! I didn’t say anything did I?”I cried out in pain from all of Moz’s poking.
“you didn’t say anything but you made him suspicious” She says glaring at me.
I couldn’t help but touch my nose with an awkward laugh.
“Err… what don’t you want to tell the Chief?”Largash finally voiced out her confusion.
cough…
I looked at Moz but she began directing some Goblins to move some items.
“…”
‘Haaa…this way I can’t say anything?, well let’s change the topic’ I turned to Largash and asked while pointing at a woman in the distance, “who’s the white human with beast skin?”
“Our Goblins said she followed them from the fortress” Largash explained with an ‘it couldn’t be helped expression’.
I looked at the suspicious woman and decided to wait for Torug, who knew that she would immediately turn towards with a curious stare.
Standing not too far across me, Her body was concealed under a thick robe, she remained silent like she was waiting for something.
So I approached and asked, “Who are you?”
When she heard my question, she lifted her hand up to poke the side of my cheek, leaving me bewildered. she sniffed repeatedly before shaking her head in confusion.
“…” I began to suspect that she was looking for my brother, so I said “How about you come with me for now? “.
