Evolution: Conqueror - Chapter 144

Torug’s POV,

Upon returning to the outpost, I noticed they were moving the supplies to the store house.

Urim and Moz supervised the whole thing while bickering, they’re pretty much friends now compared to before and I find that interesting.

standing behind them was Vass whom was sniffing on Moz for some reason but she soon stops like she noticed something and turned to look at me.

She pointed at me and spoke in a strange language, “I have seen you!!”

Obviously I was the only one who understands what she said but her voice attracted the attention of the other two.

She walks towards me with child-like steps as she smiled innocently and asked, “did you change your body again? how do you do it?”.

I looked at the cloak she had on and decided I would have the goblins make some clothes for her, I can literally see her ȧssets peeking out as she walked hurriedly.

“you will have to learn yourself, I can’t teach you how” .

She pouts but still followed behind me as I headed to where I had designated a war room.

several of the warriors would stop their actions and salute, those with building experience were fixing up the place. especially those who evolved into hobgoblin with a class that seems like engineers. Apparently they were well sort after and I can see shy, their dexterity in the art is uncanny.

Perhaps, after the dwarves and gnomes, the goblins are next on the crafting ranks.

[Name: Ukuk Blackmoon

Level: 20(Order of the second circle)

Power rating: 12089

Relationship: Father of Hukuk, Blackmoon’s Iko, Hamga’s mate.

Alignment: Chaotic neutral.]

“I’ve come to understand that the prefix Iko is a branch of evolution that stands for the crafting type” As I watched the skinny hobgoblin rush passed me with an oversized tree trunk that he was struggling to transport, I could only let out a laugh and say, “Hey Ukuk!”.

The Hobgoblin stops in his tracks and look behind like a startled rabbit, “my Chief?”

“Why don’t you cut it into two parts or have someone help you carry it?”I ask while pointing at what he was carrying.

He looked at me confused, “Ukuk is strong”.

“Yes I know, but… It would become easier, here…put it down”

When done, I repeated the action again until it was in smaller pieces. I then went to one of the cargo wheel that was used to bring supplies and loaded the wood.

The Hobgoblin finally understood and had his eyes wide open all along on surprise.

He laughed and pushed it to where he was headed before, like he couldn’t wait to share the new discovery.

It was then it hit me, ‘what the cut wood doesn’t match the part they’re trying to work on?’

“Oh well, I’m sure they’d figure something out” I suddenly say, Vass grabs the side of [Eclipse] and began to admire it.

“Let’s go Vass, Hey Urim, Moz, why are you walking so slowly today?”

“Relax brother, I felt you were in need of the space.” he says while jogging to catch up, Moz lazy jumps into my shadow seamlessly.

“what nonsense are spouting?” I scoffed at those words before entering the war room, Urim shakes his head as well.

________________

As the day went on, the Grey eye clan’s leaders huddled together in a room in the fortress to convene a war council.

Vomga had managed to endure Blackmoon’s attack and survived by himself, not only did he incur a lot injuries, he was left severely fatigued.

The orc warrior wasn’t young anymore.

Rest would be needed to recuperate but Kharag called him forward and promoted him to a captain position.

Even then he couldn’t complain, war was here and it was already staring at them in the face.

luckily, Kharag had them offer him a bed to lie down while the council was going on.

“We don’t have a single thing to eat in this fortress, it was all burnt down…so we can’t afford to wait!!”

“He speaks the truth”

“Nonsense, you have always supported everything he says. I bet if he farts right now you would jump out and say the same thing, ‘He speaks the truth!’ fool!”

Kharag watched them bicker all morning and still couldn’t get an agreement out of them, even now they dare compete.

With a sigh, Kharag says “haaa…Aging is such an unpleasant thing.”

Everyone went silent.

“We must do something tonight at the latest.

Kuhag, you will lead a small group. Take

Bigla along the road and bypass the little fortress, pass my message to blood horn.

Ask him how long he wishes to remain silent. I don’t believe he didn’t notice anything.

Corban is leading the goblins. try and lure their beasts, as long as you make it out of the forest, Hogg will take care of the rest.

As for me, I will be leading the warriors to have a discussion with this Torug”.

“Understood.”

Corban was an old Hobgoblin warrior, Kharag has known him since back when he was a child and went hunting for the first time. He was then taken under Kharag’s command for over 20 years already and had a long history together.

If there’s anyone he trusts, it’s Corban and Hogg.

Everything was set into motion but unfortunately for Kharag Greyeye, as soon as night fell, the Black moon tribe had already arrived at their doorstep without them being aware.

Moz’s POV,

Stifling my breath, I prowled through the darkness with my warriors. When I neared the hidden path, I stifled even the slightest breath I had left. I don’t know what these warriors are planning but it doesn’t matter, our job is to open the gate for for the clan.

I looked at the White furred female with the name Vass, She led us through and we made our way. I was surprised at her skills which seemed not to involve magic of any kind.

As I was thinking, she looked at me and gestured for me to follow. The enemy remains clueless of this place or aren’t even bothered about it but…

Whatever course of action they wish to take won’t affect my decision to slaughter them.

‘just thinking of how Kharag tortured our people irritated me but I must be calm’ I couldn’t help thinking of what the old Vaggi said to me as I rubbed my belly, ‘I should be slow to anger at this period.

I thought she was going to tell Torug after confirming her suspicion…Vaggi is indeed a Strange orc’.

I looked at the big bowl of water and wine as we poisoned them, it was then I noticed there was no light from the moons tonight, it was as though the moons have hidden themselves, but the reflection of the terrifying expression on my face was clearly smiling.

I am moving by myself with Vass centered around the hunters, TuTu, along with Alakr and Zuga. There’s also another group centered around Largash, but their roles will come only after the success of this poison attack.

After confirming from far away that there was fire lit in the other side of the fortress, I signaled to Largash to position themselves around the walls, south the upwind.

“Everyone is in position,” TuTu said.

“It is not yet the time” I told her, “as the Chief said, the Grey eye clan really doesn’t know how to use this place”.

Vass looks at me curiously and I feel like she’s is learning our language as we speak. but isn’t that a good thing?, I have questions to ask…

After waiting a while, Largash signaled that the Greyeye warriors were moving in groups.

‘Are They going out for an attack?, no we can’t let that happen, they others might not have hidden properly yet.

forget the poison!’ I quickly made a decision.

“Fire!” I ordered, and Largash, conjured her flames onto the arrow heads while the archers along with her all shot simultaneously, while I led our group across an open space.

A few enemies appeared in front of us but the sound of Largash’s continuous crossbow came from the behind.

I look back in shock as I wanted to question her but she cut me off, “the Chief asked that I protect you, he says if you better not be doing something careless with his child or he’ll punish you later”.

“what?!!” I let out a confused voice while the others looked at me in shock.

“URIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!!!!!”
