Chereads / The Only Necromancer / Chapter 9 - Orc Camp

Chapter 9 - Orc Camp

I continued to hunt in this portal. Just like before it was very difficult to find orcs around here. However, I didn't expect that I would find something great. I saw a camp, I wasn't sure so I tried to get closer. That's when I realized and I saw that it was an orc camp. There are 2 orcs standing guard in front of the gate, it looks like this camp has a lot of orcs. Is this a normal thing to find in portals? I'm not sure myself, because this is only the 3rd time I've entered the portal. I'm not so sure but I have to find out more about this orc camp. I'll hide my skeleton army again to make it easier to hide.

I've been around this area, it seems the orc camp is quite extensive. They also built a wooden fence around it, they look like humans. Somehow I feel this is a strange thing. Several orcs were seen talking to one another. I don't understand the language they speak, but the orcs seem to have quite a bit of intelligence compared to the goblins. Too bad I can't use my cellphone inside the portal. If I can get information about this on the forums I'll know what action I should take.

I decided to sneak into the orc camp. I have a skill that is useful in this moment, I will make use of the shadow step. I will look for information first before I attack them. I then sneaked into the camp using my shadow step. I was next to the orc house, this house is made of wood and is quite large. I can hide in the shadows for a while. I can see more clearly now, there are around 20 orcs in this camp. That's a huge amount, but why would they build a camp here. What are they trying to do?

After that I moved again, it seems I'm currently in the warehouse where their food is stored. I can smell some flesh smell from inside here. Then I saw in the middle of this camp there was a place that was built differently. All the places here are built with wood and the foundation looks ordinary. I saw in the middle of this camp there was a building that looked different, not only that it was also guarded by several orcs. Since I was so curious I actually wanted to take a closer look, but it would be very dangerous if I continued. So I decided to go back out.

After thinking for a while, I decided to attack the place. After all I had to kill them to find out what they were hiding, then I started to think of a strategy I could use to break through their defenses. My skeleton army has also become much stronger, I've changed all the goblin skeletons to skeleton orcs. I will make Luck lead one group and I will lead another group. I divided my skeleton army into 2 different teams. I will lead the 7 skeletons and Luck will also lead the 7 skeletons. After looking at the layout of the camp, I saw that there were 2 gaps that we could attack. At the gate there are 2 orcs standing guard, it's a small number and I think Luck can handle it. I will ambush and wreak havoc from behind the camp. I saw a fence that was not solid, we could destroy it easily.

After I thought this was funny enough for me, I made a strategy with skeletons instead of humans. However this is me now, I will often hunt with my skeleton army. I'll have to get used to all of this, after all, I have a skeleton like Luck that can understand what I mean.

After that we split up and went to our respective positions, Luck would attack through the gate with the other skeletons. Of course, I've given them all weapons. I gave them bone swords with the skills that I have. That way at least I'm sure they can kill unarmed orcs easily. We are less in number, but I think we can win this battle. Then I signaled for Luck to launch an attack. That's when we attacked simultaneously.

*Rush*

The sound of noisy footsteps caught the orcs' attention. The orcs guarding in front of the gate looked surprised and immediately called for reinforcements. But Luck and his troops managed to kill them easily, even so the other orcs had realized the situation and prepared to defend themselves. But we also attacked from behind, and they couldn't anticipate our attack. At the rear there were almost no orcs on guard, they were all already at the front gate and they didn't expect that they would be attacked from both directions.

After all these orcs were smart enough, they quickly split into two groups to block our sudden attack. Luck's team was having a bit of trouble keeping up with the number of orcs that were at the front gate. But that's enough, as long as they can hold off all the orcs I can finish this quickly. I and my skeleton army immediately beat all these orcs before the others arrived. We managed to kill 4 orcs very easily. But right after that, another troop arrived, they were carrying weapons and looking more ready to fight. But there's no turning back, I'll break through to the middle of the camp.

"All my skeletons attack them!" I shouted commanding all my skeletons.

Then we fought against all those orcs. I used a new trick I learned with the shadow step. I use this skill to move behind them and finish them off with one hit. With my current strength, I can kill that orc without any trouble. Even though there were more of them than us, I managed to kill them. The goblin skeleton sorcerer also looks very helpful, although he can't shoot fireballs quickly, the impact of the attacks given is quite large.

After a while, the number of orcs holding us back had decreased a lot. Now we can move closer to that place. But suddenly all the orc troops that were holding the front gate turned around to hold us back. I was surprised that they came back here just to protect the place. It seemed there was indeed something in that place, which meant I had to succeed. I've used up quite a bit of mana to defend my troops, and I've used shadow steps over and over again. I summon a new skeleton every time mine dies. I can't waste any more time. Then I decided to break through this orc group with Luck.

The team that Luck brought to fight with us from here, they ran from the front of the gate to beat up the orcs that were running towards us. This is good because Luck understands what he has to do. Then I asked Luck for help to help me break through the orc group. Luck immediately ran to my place, and he prepared to clear the way for me.

My skeleton army won't be able to last much longer, it looks like the skeleton sorcerers have run out of mana too. I can't waste my time.

"Lucky do it immediately!"

Luck ran towards the orcs, even though he was just a skeleton goblin at first. But that agile movement didn't look like a goblin at all, it managed to kill the orc in front of me. I can save my energy before I get there. After that I managed to break through, but Luck had to hold the orcs so they wouldn't attack me. But here there are still 4 orcs guarding that strange place. Why did they protect the place, they also looked scared.

But if there are only 4 orcs I'm sure I can beat them all. I took out one more bone sword, and I wielded 2 swords at the same time. It sounds crazy but dual wielding is not an easy thing to do without skill. But I don't have enough mana to use many skills so I have to kill them without draining my mana.

I ran to the left because they were guarding in a straight horizontal line. It would be easy for me to finish them off one by one, I ran from the left, and then I jumped at one of the orcs. Sure enough, the other orcs couldn't react to help their comrades. I launched two attacks using my two swords, and I managed to kill this orc with ease. Now that there are only 3 left, I will kill them the same way.

Although it was a little difficult but I managed to attack this orc. He managed to defend himself with his sword skills but he was still weak. Then I took a step back and in the instant I was sprinting, he couldn't dodge this anymore. I went straight to his head and I managed to kill him. Damn, this is tiring. The orcs guarding this place had greater abilities than the other orcs. I have to finish them all at once. Then the two orcs attacked me simultaneously, I tried to dodge the attack. I roll back, and then I dodge to the side. Their combination attacks are great, if I stay too long I can die or get injured from their attacks. Looks like I'll have to spend a bit more mana using shadow steps. Then I moved right behind them, they didn't think I could change places. I then instantly finished off the two of them before they could react to my attack. It was really exhausting, while my skeleton army was holding back the other orcs. It's time for me to check the place out.
