Reku smiled as he watch the small fight between them and the Traku warriors slowly come to an end.
Roum and Bous were busy finishing their opponents off, while Wuka himself was examining the meat of the large dead bear that lie on the ground.
Six of the Traku warriors were dead while the last surviving one was captured, as such he was tied up and strapped nearby to a tree.
Surprisingly, he was the one that had the spear lodged onto his leg and has miraculously avoided the entire fight by laying sprawled up on the ground below whilst clutching his leg and wailing in pain.
Reku grinned at this as he stared at the captured wounded orc tied up on the tree who was slowly bleeding to death.
And as for why Reku hasn't killed him, he has his own reasons.
Afterwards, Reku began to make his way towards the captured Traku warrior before staring him down with an intense gaze.
Grabbing the orc's chin and forcefully making him look up at him, Reku spat on the captured orc's face before speaking up.
"You ugly piece of meat, you do know you're about to die now, right?" Reku said with a grin, his voice full of mockery.
The orc however only gritted his teeth in pain before nodding his head, his eyes full of hatred towards Reku.
"What's that look? your clan started all of this, you have no right to be angry." Reku said, slightly bashing the orc's head to a tree, making him growl in pain.
"What do you want?!" The orc finally snapped and asked Reku in a loud deep voice.
Since the orc took his bait, Reku grinned before responding to the orc's question.
"Tell me where your camp is located and maybe I'll give you a quick death rather than letting you bleed to death, what do you say?" At this, Reku's previous life instincts finally kicked in.
Since Reku (Alexandro) was a tyrant and dictator, interrogations and torture were but a daily occurence for him.
Due to him having many enemies in his previous life, there were bound to be battles of intrigue to take place in the shadows of his former country he previously ruled.
And as such, Kidnapping political enemies and torturing them for information were a necessity for him.
Hearing Reku's words, the captured Traku Orc only smiled before spitting on Reku's face.
"Go kill yourself." the orc said before smiling at him.
'You bastard!' At this, Reku's heart was beginning to get engulf in anger and as such began to punch the orc's head over and over again.
However, the orc only kept his mouth shut as his face was slowly battered into pulp.
"Tell me!" Reku said before knocking one of the orc's tusk out.
By the time Reku has landed his sixth punch, the orc's face was already a bloodied mess with his blood slowly dripping to the ground below.
However, despite this, the orc still refused to give Reku information and only smiled, showing his now mostly teethless mouth.
Reku however, started to calm down and stare at the bloodied orc with irritation.
'Tough bastard' Reku thought as he eyed the bloodied orc down, his petty defiance has got him a little respect from Reku whom decided not to show it in front of everyone.
After all, pride and prestige is the most important factor in the orc's daily lives.
Showing even the slightest respect to an enemy who had dared to insult you and humiliate you was considered dishonorable on orc's standards, thought it is acceptable to show someone who has fought you fairly and honorably but eventually got defeated in the end.
But Reku's thoughts was immediately cut off when another wicked idea suddenly popped up inside his mind, and as such he stared at the bloodied captured orc below and grinned at him.
"I admire your courage, but let's see about this." Reku then moved his hand towards where the orc's leg wound is and began pressing on it, causing horrendous and intense pain to the orc who now began to shriek and scream uncontrollably.
"Aaghh! stop, just kill me!" the orc's screams by now has already caught the attention of Reku's companions who now began to watch the unpleasant scene with indifferent expressions.
Wuka in particular merely shrugged his shoulders after taking a small glance at the scene before going back to his work at examining the bear meat.
Roum and Bous meanwhile were already finished looting the dead Traku warriors items and as such, found themselves surrounding Reku and the captive Traku warriors and gazing at the two with curious expressions.
Upon hearing the orc's scream, Reku smiled and began to exert more force at pressing the orc's wound, causing more pain and making the orc's scream much more louder in the process.
He may have not noticed it yet, but clearly Reku was enjoying torturing the poor orc and as such, took pleasure in doing it.
"Please stop!" the captive Traku orc is practically begging between his loud deep screams, causing Reku to smile before slightly loosening his hand and the pressure on the wound, causing the captive orc to slightly feel relief.
"Oh, tell me where your camp is and I'll stop, I swear on Kasharu's name." Reku said, causing the wounded orc to grit his teeth for a few seconds before finally relenting and telling Reku his much needed information.
"A few kilometers north from here lies our camp, that's all I have to say." upon hearing this, Reku smiled before finally withdrawing his hand from the orc's wound while slightly patting him on the head with a happy expression.
Despite the information being not fully specified, Reku was already satisfied with the information he has and as such, did not bother acquiring for more.
"Thanks, you can have your peace." Reku said to the wounded orc before unsheathing his sword and raising it above him.
The orc meanwhile, just stared at the sword that is about to take his life and scoffed, staring at it with an indifferent expression.
And just like that, the sword came crashing down upon the orc's head, effectively splitting it into two and spraying blood onto the nearby tree, while splattering some onto Reku's body.
After the orc was dead, Reku stared at the bloodied corpse for a few seconds before directing his gaze towards Roum and Bous who were watching the scene unfold in the sidelines.
"What?" Reku asked Bous after seeing him stare at him with a confuse and strange expression.
"What if he's lying?" Reku immediately chuckled upon hearing Bous assumption before responding to him.
"He has no reason to do so." Reku said before wiping his sword to remove the blood then sheathing it afterwards.
After that, Reku then moved his gaze towards Wuka who was still in the middle of examining the bear meat, before directing his gaze towards the pile of items and tools they had just looted from the dead Traku warriors, and as such began to inquire Roum about it.
"There's too many things to be brought back to camp, go return and inform Jan to send warriors to help us haul all of these stuffs." Reku ordered Roum before facing Bous.
"And as for you, follow and help me find this camp of theirs." hearing Reku's previous conversation with the Traku captive earlier, he was too happy and eager to refuse the task, and as such enthusiastically followed Reku's orders.
"As you wish, I can't wait to attack and kill those bastards." Bous responded to Reku's orders and began grinning like a mad orc.
"We will only be scouting them." Reku said to Bous before making his way towards the nearby bushes and forestry that leads north from their current position.
Though Bous was slightly disappointed, he understood the reason for this and knew the danger of attacking a camp with only two warriors.
And just like that, the two orcs left their remaining companions to fulfill their tasks given to them and began to traverse the thick wooden forestry in the area.
After an hour of walking through the slopy forestry terrain, they came upon an open area complete with bushes and waist tall grasses.
The waist tall grass is based upon the local standardize orc waist size, not the human size, so when compared to humans, the grass is probably going to reach over the chest of an average sized human.
And as for why things here in the Gorkatak mountains were naturally so large, Reku has no idea.
Arriving at the open area, Reku was happy to finally see a surprise waiting for him.
The Traku clan's camp, his goal and destination lie in front of him.
Luckily, the camp has no watchtowers and thus they were not easily spotted.
Crouching, the two orcs then sneaked their way near the camp and began to observe everything in front of them.
There were atleast thirty of them, going about their daily lives, utterly unaware that their hunting party tasked with hunting food for them was wiped out by none other than the clan whom they seek to destroy the other day because of some petty misunderstanding.
Staring at the Traku camp in front of him, Reku couldn't help but voice his thoughts only loud enough for Bous to hear.
"I can't wait to butcher each one of them and feed them to the local wildlife." As Reku said this, Bous couldn't help but grin upon hearing Reku's words.
