The next day, we go to our mission with the sunrise, also Alice seems to be a bit too embarased and is ignoring me, well is understandable, we need to be serious during this mission, orcs subjugation, the orcs in age of heroes and gods are an oni race sub-race, their evolving sucession starts with goblin, then hobgoblin, ogre, orcs and finally oni.
The goblins are the well know little green child like monster, hobgoblins are still the same but like a 13-15 years old teenager, the ogre is like a 2 meter tall muscular adult be it male or female but the girls are more feminine and are still monster without much intelligence, the orcs on the other hand are intelligent and live in tribes, the males are 3 meters tall and even more muscular and dagger like protuding canines, while the girls stay almost the same as when ogre but with little protuding canines instead of the males big ones, finally when evolved to oni, they are recognized as a civilized race and is not considered a monster anymore and are considered demihuman, they are on equal grounds with other races in intelligence and have monstrous strenght, usually between 1,8 meters and 2 meters tall be it male or female, but they have human like appearance but with a horn or two on their forehead and their skin stop having different colors, and instead their hair is of the colour their skin used to be. The reason even though orcs live in tribes aren't recognized is because they are too violent and uncilized, too savage, and attack anyone that isn't an orc as well.
We enter on the forest and walk in fromation for close to an hour and stop close to the foot of a mountain, there we stop and rest for a bit. Afterward we proceed to walk quietly towards the position of the orc tribe.
Then finally we can see it, a group of huts surrounded by a 2-3 meters tall wooden wall, we observe the tribe for a long time calculating the amount of orcs inside and making the plan of atack. The group of orc amount to 17. The plan is to atack after their lunch when they become lazy and sleepy and start to take a nap.
As expected after eating they started sleeping just like that without a care in the world and after 15 minutes we rain fire arrows on the tribe and hell get lose, then we enter the tribe and start fighting the enraged monsters, and after 10 minutes the battle ends with Alice thrusting her spear in the tribe's chief heart.
But we shouldn't have atacked with fire, thats something we couldn't have known at that time.

We have been marching for 3 days and we have finally came close to The Alliance frontier, the plan is to atack them at night while they are making their monsters subjugation and take by sorprise the whole legion of a thousand with our army of 3 thousand and take the east of their lands.
Albeit it was difficult to move 3 thousand people without being detected or atacked by monsters, we had been able to do it with months of planning and preparations.
My father is a knight at the service of the comander of this atack, he was given a company and he made me a lieutenant commander of three squads at charge of scouting the area as it's my first experience in war, still i'm a bit unsatisfied with such position as is difficult to have great achievements in a no fighting post. I'm resolute to surprise my father with my abilities and be integral part of the atack, i just need an opportunity, and such an opportunity has come inmediatly to my hands as we just get close to the frontier.
As we were scouting the zone we saw smoke raising from the base of a mountain, thinking that it could be enemies we went to do our job and found a squad that had just ended a fight against an orc tribe. This is my chance, i will anihilate them and be recognized, also there are 4 women that we can have some fun with hehehe, especialy that blondy, she seems to be their lieutenant, she have a great body, it will be fun taking her.
I order the troop to encircle the tribe and prepare arrows and order them to atack...
===== Apfel pov =====
As we were taking rest, suddenly my instints honed under constant backstabing and assesination attempts from other players in the game alert me. Most people call this killing intent.
I jump from my position and scream to my colleagues "shiieeldss uuup!!!" and as if prepared for it all of them take their shield and bring them over head while i continue "turtle formation!" and as fast as lightning everyone regroup in circular formation with shield over shield as arrows come raining from the sky and our shields become porcupines. Just from all this i already know that we are surrounded, as such i make a quick decision and order "charge to the entrance! stay close together and shields up, we need to get out and enter the forest!" we can't stay in the clear like this or we will be killed.
Another volley of arrows come but we have already left that point charging ahead, their surprise atack failed but they have numerical advantage, as we close to the forest the enemies charge toward us as well, i'm still not good enough to survive this but i can't go down withou a fight. And we hear..
Scout troops commander: "To think that i would be able to find such a good prey here, atack my comrades, kill their men and then lets have some fun with the women! Don't even attend to resist! By tomorrow your legion will be anihilated by an army 3 times their size!"
As the enemies starts to overwhelm us i hear "there is no other way *sigh*" i look for the source and see Alice walking forward out of formation and whispers "take care of the rest Apfel..." she let go of her shield and take her spear with both hands calling "Marigold secret tecnique - Hurricane of wonder!" suddenly her mana starts to dance around her in a light blue sheen enclousing her as she charge forward and then it all is redirected towards her spear and then as she makes a thrust with it, all that mana takes the form of a tornado that destroys the enemies leaving no one to fight.
And then she starts falling backwards toward the ground but i catch her before she hits it and say "that was incredible, i think i fell in love" she makes little smile " rest a little, i'll take care of the rest" and that way she falls asleep. I take her on my arms and princess carry her and say to the squad "we have to move fast and alert the legion! lets go!".
