Chapter VIII
Nironetti: Oh, you saw it all?
Caysar: Hmm. I think you'd better remove the disguise first, and it feels like you're talking to another person.
Nilonity: Hehe, got it. It just so happened that I was a little panicked, too.
Caesar: Oh~ It's been a long time since I've seen the Demon Wings.
Oh, no. Maybe it's the last demon wings in this world.
Ferosepuni: Just the two of us, I don't have to hide it anymore, do I?
Hiding my demon identity every day is going to drive me crazy. Occasionally, I want to relax like this~
Also, why don't you say it's so sad at the end, right?
Everyone is waiting for the day when the seal will be lifted.
Kesar: Phew, yes, as long as things go according to plan, you don't have to hide your identity anymore.
Philosepny: Oh, yes. It's all up to you
Caesar: But then again, things seem to get quite complicated
Ferosepuni: I can't help it. I didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Anyway, it seems like the result is quite satisfying, isn't it? You're included, too.
Caesar: Well, let's say that, so to speak.
Ferosepuni: What do you think? That kid.
Kesar: It's been 10 years, but it's still the same way I felt back then.
Especially that look
Ferosepni: Oops~ It seems to be quite pitiful~ hehe.
Caesar: Haha. Is it?
Alright, let's go back quickly.
Ferosepuni: Hehe, got it.
Eustia: Uh, here?
Strange monsters?
What's going on? Didn't you say you were going to teleport to the secret temple of the Order of Belese?
Kane: I don't know
(This aura looks a bit similar to dark magic.)
(No, the breath of dark magic, it shouldn't be so piercing to human bones.) It's a little too weird)
I have a bad feeling that we'd better get out of here.
Yuxia: Okay, Kane
Kane: There are two passages.
One side seems to be blocked. Let's go out of the way first.
Yuxia: Okay Kane.
Kane: Orcs?
Eulasia: His wounds are so deep! It needs to be treated right away.
It should be fine now.
Kane:
Waldak: Uh-huh, thank you. It's rare that humans can help orcs
I am a warrior of the Orc tribe of Fullmetal, Waldak, the son of Isolon. Who are you?
Kane: My name is Kane.
Yuxia: My name is Yuxia.
Waldak:
Yuxia?! Could it be the Empire's Saintess of Light?
Eulcia: Yes.
Waldak: Oh! The name of the Holy Maiden of Light, we Steel-Orcs have heard of it for a long time. It's such an honor to meet you.
Yuxia: How did you get hurt like that?
Waldak: When I was stationed at a guard post near the tribe, I was attacked by the guys of the Bone Orc tribe and managed to escape here. I thought I was going to die here...
Thanks to you, I was able to get a life back. I swear in the honor of the Orcs of Steel that I will repay you for this kindness.
Yuxia: Don't worry too much. I just did what I was supposed to do.
Waldak: But what are you doing here? It's really rare for humans to come to the orc tribe.
Kane: We're trying to find our way back to the Bellese Empire. Do you know how to enter?
Waldak: Oh, the way back to the human village is known only to the elders of our tribe.
I'm going back to the tribe to report the Bone Orcs attacking us.
Or I'll take you to the elders."
Kane: Okay.
Waldak:
Let's go. Go out of this temple. Go to the Fullmetal Orc Swamp 2 first, and then live north and you'll see our tribe.
Waldak: Dead! You're out.
Captain of the Guard, Mallord: Lord Waldak! Something happened!
Waldak: Something happened? What's wrong?!
Captain of the Guard: The Elder has been kidnapped by the Orc of Bones!
Waldak: What the hell is going on?!
Captain of the Guard: That's a long story, so come with me to the guard post first.
Waldak: yes, I see
Captain of the Guard, Mallord: Wait, Lord Waldak!
Waldak: What's wrong?
Captain of the Guard, Mallord: Don't you know that too? Humans are forbidden to enter the tribe.
I'm not going to let these humans into the tribe, don't be embarrassed by me.
Waldak: Well, these people should be fine. This is the Empire's Saintess of Light.
Captain of the Guard, Mallord: If it's really a saint, it doesn't matter, but who is this person?
Waldak: This is the companion of the Holy Maiden. Since they're together, it should be fine, right?
Captain of the Guard, Mallord: It's just a very moment, and he may or may not be someone related to the Bone Orcs
Now that the Elder has been kidnapped, I don't dare to let those humans of unknown origin into the tribe without permission......
Waldak: Well, I know about you, it's a bit of a problem
Kane:
Yusia: That
Kane is my Guardian Knight.
Kane: Holy Maiden?
Yuxia: It's been guarding me for a long time.
If you don't trust Kane, you don't trust me.
Waldak: That's right.
These two actually saved my life. So you can trust him.
Waldak: If something happens, I'll take all the blame alone. Swear by my honor and personality!
Captain of the Guard: So you know.
Come with me, both of you.
Yuxia: Let's go, Kane.
Kane: Holy Maiden
Why do you say I'm a knight of the guards?
Yuxia: Oops~ Let's go quickly.
Kane: Okay.
Waldak: Tell me about the situation. The elder was kidnapped, what the hell is going on?
Captain of the Guard, Mallord: Lord Waldak, you should also know that the power of the Bone Orc tribe has suddenly become very strong lately
For this reason, the Elder decided to cast an ancient spell from the Orc tribe to protect the Orc Tribe of Steel.
But these cunning bone orcs attacked the outpost first, distracting us, and broke into the Altar of Steel, leaving the elders who were in the midst of the memorial ceremony
Waldak: Is it a tactic to attack the West?
I'm so sorry. I didn't expect the elder to be kidnapped
The only people who know how to go back to the human village are the Elders, this is true
I think it's a bit cheeky, but can I ask you one thing?
Not only is our tribe in danger if you continue like this, but even you will have a hard time finding a way back to your human village.
So, can you help us rescue the elders? If you are willing to help us, we will definitely repay you.
Kane: There's really no way to know.
Waldak:
Thank you so much.
Waldak: Then let's go to the Altar of Steel, where the Elder was kidnapped, to find clues.
The Altar of Metal is located to the east of Fullmetal Orc Swamp 2.
Waldak: This is the altar where the elders hold their memorial services.
Kane: What is it?
Waldak: That's right!
It's a sign carried by the orc warriors of the bones to show that they belong to the unit.
Waldak: Seems to be the hallmark of the Shadow Hunter Force, which is mainly responsible for tasks such as kidnapping or assassination...
I've heard that they often patrol the vicinity of the Shadow Swamp in the southwest. Let's go there and set up an ambush, and maybe we'll find some clues.
Kane: Got it.
Waldak: Hide behind this tree.
They're a bunch of shady guys, and they love this kind of damp and remote corner.
Kane: Got it.
Waldak: They seem to be late than usual today
Kane: Shhhh There's movement!
Waldak: It's finally here! You guys!
Shadow Hunter Scout: You, you're the Voldak of the Fullmetal Orc Tribe?! How dare you trespass into our realm!
Waldak: Hmph, if you have the ability, you can try it!
Waldak said! Where have you taken our elders?
Shadow Hunter Scout: Just hee-hee. You don't have the skills to get him out anyway
Your elders are locked up in our Fortress of Sorrow!
Waldak: What?! Screaming Fortress?!
Shadow Hunter Scout: There are almost no people who can escape from there!
You Fullmetal Orc tribesmen, this time it's definitely over. Ha ha!
Waldak: Damn it's been praying for a long time, but still
It was the most heavily guarded place in the Bone Orc area. There's really no way to get in at the moment.
Let's go back to the outpost in the tribe first, discuss it with the captain of the guard, and let's think of a way together.
Captain of the Guard: That's a real nuisance. It turned out to be the Fortress of Sorrow
Voldak: It's almost impossible to break out head-on. It's a terrible situation.
Captain of the Guard, Mold: Isn't there another way into the fortress?
If Waldak doesn't make a head-on breakthrough and takes a detour, he will have to take the Hokagan Gorge.
However, the monsters there are very powerful. And there is a huge stone demon guarding the pass of the canyon.
It's impossible to beat it
Captain of the Guard: Hmm
Lord Waldak, have you heard rumors of strange people in Hokagan Canyon?
Waldak: Weirdos?
Captain Marlord: Yes. It is said that a human man came here after passing through the gorge a month ago.
Captain of the Guard, Mallord: If that rumor is true, the human must know how to defeat the Golems.
Let's go find the human and ask him how to get through the canyon.
Waldak: Well, it seems like that's all there is to it
Go to the Hokagan Gorge and look for that weirdo.
The Khogan Gorge is just to the south of the Horde.
Kane: Got it.
