Pete and the lieutenant came outside the village and the Lieutenant said,
"Draw your weapon... we are going to spar for a little bit "
‣
Pete was surprised and said,
"Are you sure "
‣
The lieutenant drew his sword and said,
"I am going to attack you and you have only two options, either fight or run "
"Which option are you choosing "
‣
Pete looked at lieutenant with determination in his eyes,
"I will never run "
‣
Pete then drew the sword given by lieutenant and attacked first,
Lieutenant only dodged and blocked Pete's attack while observing Pete while thinking,
'This kid sure is skilled for his age, but he is just swinging his sword, he doesn't even know the proper to wield a sword'
‣
After a couple more swings the lieutenant said,
"Kid, you are good, you just lack the discipline of a swordsman "
‣
Pete angrily said,
"Just what is this damn discipline that everyone keeps telling me "
‣
The lieutenant said,
"You are just blindly swinging your sword relying only on your speed and strength, you don't have any battle experience and your attacks shows that you didn't even spar with anyone "
‣
Pete was surprised when he heard this and stopped attacking and said,
"So, just what is discipline "
‣
The lieutenant became angry when he heard this and started attacking,
Pete was dodging by jumping here and there,
‣
The lieutenant said,
"You are dodging simple attacks like a monkey by jumping around and you don't even know the proper way to hold sword, just how do you have a body of a warrior"
‣
As soon as lieutenant said this, he felt a sense of danger and jumped back,
Morsh was glaring at him with his cold eyes,
‣
Pete got confused when the lieutenant suddenly jumped back and said,
"Lieutenant why did you stopped all of a sudden "
‣
Lieutenant was thinking,
'My guts are telling me that it's dangerous, but I don't feel anything from him... '
‣
The lieutenant said,
"Let's end it here... we will spar another time "
‣
Pete nodded and said,
"Ok"
‣
They then sat down on a stone and after some time the soldiers came back,
One of the soldiers said,
"Lieutenant, the corpses have been burned and we also found something strange too "
‣
The lieutenant said,
"What did you find out "
‣
The soldier said,
"The coins, weapons and other valuable items have been looted "
‣
The lieutenant thought for a moment and said,
"What's so strange about this, it must be work of some bandits "
‣
The lieutenant then waved his hand and all the soldiers gathered,
"Let's head back to the Lotus city "
‣
They then headed toward the Lotus city,
Pete was walking with the soldiers and the lieutenant was riding his horse,
‣
One soldier went up to the lieutenant and said,
"Lieutenant, the sun will set in about an hour, we should find a spot for camp "
‣
The lieutenant nodded and after some time they reached a river and the lieutenant said,
"Camp here tonight "
‣
The soldiers sets up the camp and burned a large campfire,
Pete looked at the soldiers working together, laughing and said,
"I hope someday I have someone that I love like my own family "
‣
Morsh said,
"Don't you want to go back to earth "
‣
Pete smiled and said,
"If there is a way, I will go back to earth with my friends "
‣
Morsh said,
"What friends "
‣
Pete looked at the sky and said,
"My future friends, hero's companions, those who were born to aid hero "
‣
Morsh said,
"Did the Goddess told you this "
‣
Pete giggled and said,
"No but I know this much by reading novels and by watching anime "
‣
The lieutenant walked up to Pete and sat down with him,
"Hey kid... let's spar after dinner "
‣
Pete knew that Morsh would took over the body in some time so he said,
"I am sorry but I can't spar you at night "
‣
The lieutenant smiled, then stood up and walked away, after few steps he turned back and said,
"Hey kid... I will be here all night so come to me if you change your mind "
‣
After half an hour, Morsh took control of the body,
Morsh stood up headed toward the forest,
A soldier saw Morsh going toward the forest and said,
"Where are you going "
‣
Morsh grabbed his stomach then looked back and said,
"It's emergency... "
‣
The soldier nodded and Morsh ran toward the forest,
The lieutenant saw Morsh going toward the forest and followed him,
After walking into the forest for some time Morsh said
"Come out... you have been following me from the camp "
‣
The lieutenant came out from behind a tree and said,
"You can even feel my presence... so you were hiding your strength "
‣
Morsh sighed and said,
"I just wanted to hunt some monsters today "
‣
The lieutenant drew out his sword and said,
"Sparring with me is better than hunting some mindless monsters "
‣
Morsh smiled and said,
"Didn't I told you before that I don't spar in night "
‣
Lieutenant had a big smile on his face,
"So if you don't spar at night, then what do you do at night "
‣
Morsh was still smiling but sighed hearing this,
"I hunt at night "
‣
The lieutenant laughed loudly and said,
"What's fun hunting some mindless monsters "
‣
Morsh said,
"Who said I only hunt monsters "
‣
Before lieutenant could answer, blood started coming out from his nose, ears and he vomited blood and dropped dead,
Morsh came close to lieutenant's body and said,
"I hunt humans too"
‣
Morsh was releasing dark poison smoke in small amount so that it won't get noticed,
Morsh then came near camp and surrounded camp with dark poison smoke,
"No one can escape now "
‣
Morsh summoned 400 dark orcs and also manifested giant swords in their hands,
"Go surround the camp "
‣
The dark orcs surrounded the camp, it was night time so the soldiers didn't saw the orcs surrounding,
When the orcs surrounded the camp, Morsh said,
"Attack "
‣
All the orcs attacked at the same time,
The soldiers saw that orcs were coming from everywhere, even coming from the river,
Before soldiers could react, orcs have already started killing the soldiers,
‣
After some time the soldiers all the soldiers were killed ,
Morsh absorbed all the soldiers and summoned some dark soldiers,
"Go loot everything valuable "
‣
The soldiers spread all around and brought some loot,
They brought weapons, armors, coins and potions,
Morsh put everything in the storage space and dismissed the dark soldiers,
"The Lotus city should be close..."
‣
Morsh summoned a dark horse and rode it with full speed toward Lotus city,
At midnight Morsh saw some lights in distance and dismounted the dark horse,
"Finally reached a big city "
‣
Morsh puts the sword given by Lieutenant to Pete in his storage space and dismissed the horse,
"I should walk from here"
‣
After walking for couple of minutes Morsh saw the giant wall around the city and a city gate at a distance,
Morsh walked toward the gate,
Soldiers wearing metal amor were guarding the gate,
A soldier saw Morsh coming toward the gate and said,
"Stop... who are you "
‣
Morsh stopped and said,
"I am an adventurer... I have some news about the lieutenant sent to the Doro village"
‣
All of the soldiers guarding the gate stood up and came close to Morsh and one of the guard said,
"What's the news "
‣
Morsh made a sad face and said,
"Lieutenant and the soldiers with him are all killed by orcs "
‣
The soldiers were shocked upon hearing this and said,
"Come with us and tell this to the captain"
‣
Morsh nodded his head and followed two of the soldiers,
They reached the city and Morsh was surprised when he saw the shops were open even at this hour and thought,
'This is good... now I won't feel bored in night '
‣
Morsh said to the soldier,
"The houses here are big "
‣
The soldier looked at Morsh and said,
"Is this your first time in a large city "
‣
Morsh looked at the guard,
"You can say that "
‣
They then entered their headquarters, and the soldiers then took him to the captain's office,
*Knock knock*
Soldiers knocked on the door and said,
"We have some bad news about the lieutenant sir "
‣
A voice came from inside,
"Come in "
‣
The soldiers and Morsh entered and saw the captain sitting in the chair,
The captain was young guy with long hairs tied like a ponytail and had the beauty of the girl,
If anyone saw him without hearing his voice, he would fall in love thinking that he is a girl,
The captain said,
"What's the bad news "
‣
One of the soldiers told about the lieutenant to the captain,
The captain looked at Morsh and said,
"So what you told the soldiers true "
‣
Morsh said,
"Yes, the lieutenant and all of the soldiers were killed by the orcs "
‣
Captain said,
"How can I trust you "
‣
Morsh said,
"You can send someone to check weather I am telling the truth or not "
‣
The captain looked at Morsh and inspected him with his eyes and said,
"And how did you escape unscratched "
‣
Morsh said,
"Because I ran away as soon as I saw orcs"
‣
Captain said,
"How many orcs were there "
‣
Morsh said,
"There were more than three hundred orcs and there was something strange about them"
‣
Captain raised his eyebrows and said,
"What was strange about them "
‣
Morsh said,
"They were equipped with metal weapons "
‣
Hearing this the Captain was shocked and said,
"Go rest for now... I will call you when I have something to ask "
‣
Morsh stood up and exited the room,
One of the soldiers said to the captain,
"Captain If he was telling the truth, this is serious... but I think he is lying "
‣
The captain stood up and walked up to the window and said,
"He is not lying "
‣
The soldier said,
"Why do you say so Captain "
‣
Captain smiled and said,
"He is higher level warrior then the lieutenant and I don't think that his warrior pride would let him run away from some orcs "
‣
Captain then sighed and said,
"Inform the vice captain that I am going to see the lord "
‣
The guard bowed and left,
Captain looked at Morsh leaving through the gate with his eyes focused on his every movement,
'He is hiding something... and I will uncover whatever that is '
‣
Morsh asked the soldier standing on the gate,
"Is there an Inn nearby "
The soldier said,
"Go straight from here "
‣
Morsh then walked straight and soon reached the inn, he entered the inn,
The inn was filled with people eating on the tables, Morsh then headed toward the front desk,
A middle aged man was sitting at the desk and Morsh said,
"I want a room "
‣
The middle aged man looked at Morsh and said,
"Name and Id "
Morsh showed his adventurer's badge,
"My name is Pete "
‣
The middle aged man looked at the Id and said,
"How long would you be staying "
‣
Morsh said,
"I will stay for 2 weeks! "
‣
The middle aged man then said,
"Which standard room do you want, we have standard, high standard and deluxe "
‣
Morsh said,
"What are the facilities of the deluxe"
‣
The middle aged man said,
"Deluxe room consists of a large bedroom, a bathroom and a dinning room with free breakfast, lunch and dinner "
‣
Morsh said,
"How much would it cost for 2 weeks "
‣
The middle aged man looked Morsh from his head to toe and said,
"Deluxe room cost 4 gold a day and 2 weeks would be 28 gold "
‣
Morsh thought,
'Hmm... the city is more expensive than the village'
‣
Morsh said,
"Please wait a moment "
‣
Morsh got out of the inn and looked around himself to make sure no one watching,
He then opened storage space and took out 30 gold coins and puts them in his pocket,
Morsh then entered the inn and puts the 28 gold on the front desk,
‣
The middle aged man was shocked seeing this much gold coins and said with a respectful tone,
"Sir I humbly thank you for choosing our establishment for your stay"
‣
Morsh nodded and the middle aged man guided him to his room,
Morsh entered his room and said,
"This city has a lot of population... "
‣
Morsh then said inwardly,
'Let's go for some hunt '
