'I always wondered what kind of terror was plaguing these lands, but they are no different than human territory.'
According to the information obtained, the army of orcs was weeks away from Lathrium in an easterly direction, but the army was too large for a head-on assault with the hundreds of adventurers present here. Geoffrey was the only adventurer in rank S, but there were several adventurers in rank A and B. Besides, all adventurers in the Hjmar guild had already moved up to physical rank C, except for me.
The information that humans have about orcs, says they are extremely angry and strong creatures with little aptitude for magic, but we also do not have much information about their combat when in such large armies. Besides, determining a chain of command among such angry beings is always based on strength.
But even if there is someone extremely powerful leading them, he cannot be everywhere at the same time so the chain of command needs to fragment, and from that point, Geoffrey proposed that we use this to our advantage to attract army segments to non-human settlements.
There are rumors that an orc acquires skills from the being he fed, whether that rumor is true or not is hard to say, but one thing is certain, their diet is mostly meat-based and may even commit acts of cannibalism.
Therefore, without getting our hands dirty we may be able to kill non-humans and still attack their food stocks inciting a war inside their lines.
But the non-human territory is largely unknown to humans, and no roads are connecting both territories so even though we are in caravans, we have to go through the forest.
Our logistics were as follows, a central support group led by Geoffrey with only the strongest adventurers and with high mobility to quickly reach any other group, and another 20 groups that have the simple objective of attracting the orcs to certain settlements not -humans already mapped. Geoffrey had suggested that I join the support group, but there would be no food this way so I used the authority of the battlefield's only mage to take the lead of one of these attack groups and attach Hjmar Guild to it.
There was also the question of resources for the attacking troops, and the merchant's guild was at that time cutting down trees to pass with the caravans bringing food to each of these groups.
But for us, all we had to do was join the squad named G-17 (The squads were named like G-1, G-2, G-3, etc.), and move quickly through the forests on foot as fast as we can but without drawing attention.
'If I am going to lead this squad then I think I have to warn the leader that he has just been dismissed then...' Gremory thought as he approached one of the squads that were about to leave, in his hands there was a document with the name of each person along with their respective ranks and positions in the squad. There were a total of 217 adventurers, 137 of rank C, 68 of rank B, and 12 of rank A, not counting Hjmar.
'Huh, the power of a single guild can be quite great if they were able to reach so many people so quickly.'
"Hey, you must be Redwig right?" Gremory spoke while he knocked on the warrior's armor in front of him as if he were knocking on a door. The warrior in front of him matched the description of the current squad leader, 2.5 meters tall (8'1"), his armor seemed to weigh no less than 200kg, a big shield just like the Mandrake Shield with a two-handed sword in his back and a Morning Star on his waist.
The metal sound of his armor together with the floor vibrating from the simple act of turning around to face the boy in front of him caught the attention of the surrounding squad. But it was impossible to say his facial expression at that moment due to his helmet that barely left room for his eyes.
"Yes boy, what is a child-like you doing here? It is a dangerous place." He replied while looking down, after all, Gremory was only 1.63m (5'4 ").
"So... I'm here to take the lead of the G-17 squad."
Silence reigned after Gremory's response until the warrior in front of him started laughing, causing everyone around him to do the same, except for the members of Hjmar who were right behind Gremory with fear of being crushed.
'Damn, they are not going to follow my orders if they don't respect me. I can't just show the document with the list of members that Geoffrey gave me after that. ' Gremory thought as he prepared for what he was going to do next.
With Shadow Impulse, he punched Redwig that was unprepared while laughing. He was thrown forward until he fell to the ground.
'This guy is a wall!'
Shadow Impulse's effect was very low on Redwig due to its massive weight, but it was enough for a demonstration of power, or at least that's what Gremory thought until he saw this wall rising while he drew his two-handed sword.
'Shit shit shit, I definitely can't beat this guy. His armor seems to be much more difficult to penetrate than any golem I have faced, I will have to use that then.'
The opponent in front of him was too much even for Gremory and there were still hundreds of adventurers to assist him so Gremory had to bet everything on his demonstration of power. With that in mind, Gremory decides to use a skill he has been saving for emergencies for a long time.

"Cerberus" He screamed and his Body Rune Hanzor on his face activated. But unlike when he tried to summon the Oracle, this time a very dense black mass appeared in front of Gremory and began to take the shape of a dog that looked demonic with its three heads and its eyes that shine in the color of a vivid red.
