The warrior frowned when his attack was stopped by what was obviously a shamanic ward but the screams of his liege didn't let him think straight and all he could do was to continue attacking in a frenzy in order to move the Barbarian back.
Very soon the Guardian realized it was hopeless. He was racing against time and every attack was stopped by a shamanic ward and he was being push back by the momentum of 2h Axe being swing his way. The worst part was that spells started to land on him one after another and just as he felt his movement and attack speed dropped, he also lost control of 5% of all his strength.
When it rains, sometimes it pours!!
The screams finally stopped and the Orc Guardian knew the nephew of his village chief had died under his care. This filled him with Rage as he charged in...
"FOR THE FROSTWOLVES"
It was useless no matter what he did, he couldn't defeat the three people working together, there was a never ending stream of wards helping the warrior in front of him and the Dark Red fire that constantly consume his energy was too much.
Rahz finished his immolation aura and Activated Pulverizing Wave that hit the Guardian straight on his shield and send him flying five feet back. The shield was able to protect the Orc from actually taking damage but the blast made him lose balance creating an opportunity for Rahz to use Chaos Blades.
Two half moon Energy Blades flew at the guardian who tried to use the shield but the detrimental spells from Elune and Cypher made it so the guardian couldn't only use about half of his total strength.
The Orc's pupils shrunk as he saw what he believe to be an impossible thing, a Berserker throwing magic.
"A Holy Witch and Red Flame Devil... Chief Mogho is being deceived... the Frostwolves have no chance, LORD FADALL please save us"
The two Blades hit the Orc and one of them was able to cut into half the Orcs neck. As the Orcs blood covered the snow, he tried to ask Rahz 'What are you?' but the blood coming from his throat never gave him a chance.
Since the first two Orcs were killed by Rahz alone, the Energy Experience he got was massive and his progress shot to 60 % in one go. Riddick consume the corpses as usual and now the color of the egg was starting to change into a deeper purple that gave one a very sinister feeling.
Rahz picked up the weapon of the Young Orc and said to the group, " Lets go send a message".
The last group according to the bandit was a 3 person group responsible for assisting the young orc gain experience during the winter season so that he was ready for when the real war started in full blast.
Out of the three people in the team, two were now dead on the floor and the last one was tied up to a tree watching four Barbarians take away everything he had on him. After a couple of minutes of silence, one of them took a weapon and gave it to him before saying.
"Go back to your clan and tell your chief that when the winter is over ... that would be the only thing remaining of the Frostwolfs"
The last orc didn't understand the message but when the Barbarians went away and he had time to examine the weapon his face quickly pale, with heavy steps he started returning to its village.
NOOOOO!!! WHO WAS IT? WHO KILL MY NEPHEW?
"Great Chief Mogho it was a group of 4 people, 2 Barbarians , and 2 different looking ones".
All the elders in the Hall stared at the Orc that delivered the message waiting for him to talk about the different looking ones. " One was a little Girl that seem to be like the mysterious guy that comes to our village and the other was skinnier than a Barbarian and had runes all over his body, he seemed to be the leader. All I know is that they were definitely from the Barbarian Camp"
This was outside of chief Mogho's expectation, He had waited for the survivor to say it was Aya or Elder wolf or at least the person assisting the son of Cerdic, maybe they met each other by fate. But nothing of what was described made any sense.
"Call Rex here and see if he has any information on this two none Barbarians that Killed my nephew and call my son's squad back".
Rex enter the hall and frown the moment he heard the news, he had been trying to get in touch with some of his units in a couple of the areas and had been unsuccessful. He sent a couple more units to get some information but now he was rushing to stopped them.
Rex rode on his massive frostwolf towards the zone but was suddenly stop by a female Barbarian that he knew pretty well.
" I don't have time to play with you and our time to fight would be after the winter, do you really want to get the leaders involved".
Aya laugh and said " I know the rules... I just want to make sure you don't get involved ".
Rex face soured immediately after hearing those words and he knew his investigation team were in danger.
MOVE!!
Just when his frostwolf was about to take off, he heard " Did the great chief Mogho enjoyed the present, it is too bad none of his body remained..Sorry"
Rex eyes were starting to turned red with rage but he was one of the few of his clan with a head on his shoulders. Rex knew if he were to be the first to attacked, it would be the perfect excuse for the people right in front of him to kill him and weakened the Orcs without affecting the Rules of War.
Rex stopped himself through sheer willpower and said, "That was a very strong group of warriors you guys killed and none of your pussy ass patrols team could have defeated them. I am just here to make sure no top brass was involve".
Aya smiled evilly and said,"You knew who would help us in the war and that the Frostwolf clan can't defeat us why declared War".
Sighed...
Rex left with his Frostwolf and Aya disappeared with the other scouts. Thanks to the frostwolf sense of smell Rex quickly found the location of his units. Five minutes later he started to hear the sound of weapons clashing and pull out his bow when he was close enough to the fight.
He saw a bear mauling and tearing flesh from an Orc and the other was having a fight with a 2h Axe wielder with runes on his body. "It's them; however, when I try feeling their levels there are two Level 10s , I can't believe they are able to defeat opponents much higher than them".
Rex knew there had been no rules broken by the Barbarians but he felt an itch in his heart that told him to kill them without caring for the consequences. Rex lifted his bow and immediately felt three killing intents lock onto him and decided against it, he was not ready to put his life on the line just yet.
Rex saw that the fight was over and was about to leave to report on his reconnaissance when out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a purple flame devouring the Orc corpses before disappearing inside the Kobold looking Barbarian's back. Rex couldn't help but whisper "Demon!!" before leaving to warn the rest of his scouts in the zone.
Aya stayed in place making sure Rex didn't have any other ideas about Rahz's team and then proceeded to deliver new orders.
"Well done guys, the area around here should be pretty safe for now so the elders want you to go and start cleaning the area close to the mines while checking for anything out of the ordinary".
Rahz received the new orders and before they left, he told Aya that they had taken down a group of bandits that seem to be helping the Orcs and that they seem to believe that the village was sitting on mountains of gold.
Aya was surprise about the news but even more surprise about the efficiency of their low level team. They have managed to destroyed multiple teams and obtained a very valuable piece of news.
Rahz's team left the red zone and since it was still early, they double timed it towards the west to their new area for a nice grinding session.
"Rahz!! My egg is about to hatch and I need to feed it Kobolds, you better keep that glutton Riddick in check"
