Finally another month has passed and all the levies have gathered , they manage to gather 9000 levies all in all. The Seamouth army can finally move north all they were waiting now was for the reinforcement from the princess brother Baldur and head warrior Hurus.
Arslan was busy training day by day , he was also waiting for a chance to ask Beatrice about the buff she has but never gotten the chance yet as to speak to their commander was only for the officers of the army but littlw did he know...
"Arslan come here!" Sandra waved at him
Arslan walked over to Sandra and she had a look of anticipation on her face.
"We were pick for a scouting mission with the soldiers" She had a look of anticipation on her face because for a warrior and not a soldier to be pick you have yo be very special.
"Us?" Arslan was dumbfounded, the army usually did not send levies for a scouting mission.
"Yes, lets go to the coomander" she looked like she was about to jump with over excitement .
They walked towards the main camp and finally into a command tent where commander Beatrice was waiting .
"Good you made it, I have a special assignment for you. We have heard a scouting force of the orc army change directions , they are now moving south east".
Sandra eyes almost budge south east is where chag was located.
"I heard you are all from somewhere here" Beatrice unfolded the map and pointed at it.
"Yes ma'am we are indeed from there" Sandras answered as Arslan keep a composed attitude.
"Go to the Stockdale and grabbed 2 horses you are going with the scouting party".
As Sandra was turning Arslan suddenly adked a question.
"That technique in our fight, how did you learn it?"
The commander just smiled at him then answered him.
"Arslan correct? , It has been passed down in our family for generations now. I heard before my great great grandfather was part of the kingdom he traveled the world as a Traveling swordsman".
"Thank you" Arslan saluted and left.
Finally Arslan confirmed what he needed that there was indeed buffa here and they were taugh.
After leaving the command tent they went towards the stables and then went towards the scouting unit, the man in charge of this patrol was lieutenant Mark.
"Good you're both here now we have enough for the patrol. This two are my suburdinates, Jenkins and Laura".
Jenkins was a short burly man and Laura looked like Sandra but a little taller and more muscular, they all shook hands, introduced themselves and checked their gear.
They rode south hard and fast resting little on the way and stopping in some of the villages along the way to see if they seen anything but the said they have not seen anything, the villengers were to busy packing and here and there they saw people carrying little boxes and shovels then walking inside the forest.
"It had been 10 days and we haven't seen anything! , were getting close to chag" Sandra looked worried.
"Don't worry, we are going the right way. Sooner or later were going to find them" Arslan assured her.
"Look!" Mark pointed at the sky
There smoke beyond the horizon and the smell of fire can finally be recognize.
"Lets move! we got them!" Mark urged the horse forward and the rest followed suit.
As they come to a clearing they saw a village being attacked, buildings were burning and corpses were everywhere. There were orcs everywhere , big burly massive beings , war paint and heavily armored with wolves as their horses.
"No!" Sandra wide eye and angry yelled.
"Stay together, lets go!" Mark commanded and directed his horse forward.
As they neared the villege they saw orcs plundering the houses and killing the villengers. Arslan was the first in the thick of it , he charge the nearest of within ghe vicinity as the orc was plundering he saw Arslan charge at him and he growled and yelled and more orca came out of the surrounding area.
They took out their weapons and charge Arslan but Arslan activated his buff, one, two , three, four , five heads rolled as he passed the plundering orcs.
"How?!" Marks has never seen such swordmanship before, orcs were warriors of a different caliber to humans.
" Get ready more are coming!" Arslan directed their attention to the front and it looled like 20 more orcs were in the way.
"This isn't a scouting party! , Its a Damn warband! " Laura shouted as everyone was wide eyed at the situation.
Arslan did not worry about twenty orcs he just killed 5 , what he was worried about was the mounts the orcs were riding because he had a horse. Arlans urged his horse forward once more and as he neared the enemy he activated multiple slash.
Swook!
Swook!
As he charge the orc his sword was a blur to the surrounding people, one by on from head to toe the orcs would split and their mounts would be headless and the landed.Arslan companion could not believe what they were seeing a line rider massacred 20 orcs in a flash.
Blooo!
A horn could be heard in the distance as more orcs heard the sound of fighting, they arrive at the scene where 25 of their compatriots laid in pieces. That scene caused a hysteria among the orc warband as they eyed Arslan and his companions.
"Damn there's more of them!, Arslan retreat!" Sandra yelled out , the number of the previous engagement.
"Go! I'll be behind you!"
Sandra and the rest turned their horse and fled. Arslan knew he could take them but he would not be able to defend his companions. As they fled the enemy pursued , Arslan though yhis would be a good chance for him and he slowed his horse.
"Go! I'll catch up.
"Damn it Arslan!" But as Sandra looked back she saw his determined eyes and ahe realize what he was doing so she continued to flee and in the back you could hear the cries of dying orcs.
As Arslan saw his companions leaving he turned his horse around and charge the enemy. First he used the flame of ovaries to distruo their formation.
Boom!
Ahhg!
Wolves and their riders blown to bits only their scream can be heard as they saw the ball of fire coming towards them. Some of orcs were dismounted as the surrounding explosion burned their mounts and them sending them flying.
Arslan took care of the mounted orcs firs and he charge them they seemed to not fear him even as their number dwindled they still charge him and he with precision sent them to the afterlife. As he took care of the mounted orcs , as he turned he could finally see the fear in the un-mounted orc as they started to flee so Arslan gave chase and finished them off.
As the last orc he looked towards his surrounding and there were craters and smoke , pieces of body parts and headless and burned wolves. Arslan smiled satisfied at the victory at hand, then he turned his horse and went to where his companions fleed.
As the orcs only gave chase as far as Arslan fought them , his companions only went so far and Arslan found them.
"You're alive!" Mark and his subordinates looked at him as he was a monster. The only one that knew Arslan would be fine was Sandra.
"I knew you would be safe, where's the orcs? she already knew the answer as Arslan told them they have been pacified and that shook mark and his subordinates more.
Mark proposed to help the villengera who eacaped then return to camp as they found that it was not scouts the army of orcs were sending but warband and a scout team other than this one would not be able to handle it and everyone agreed.
