Merli was much faster than me so we couldn't make real dramatic entrance like I wanted. Merli didn't want to leave me behind. Merli was too sweet in many ways and we stepped into the light with many gasp shocks from Orc hunters.
A random orc spoke close enough for me to hear. "Tuk was right! For him to fall like he has we might be doomed."
I saw a goblin I had previously evicted and more whispers followed. "Could that be the same Tauren the Goblins spoke of? To think it is so strong, and a glorius one too. We might need to fight to the death...."
An orc hunter held a spear out, "HALT! You are Akira the Tauren and Merli the pretender Tuk spoke of?"
We looked at each other and nodded, "Pretty much, that a problem?"
The Orc hunter looked around at his fellow orcs who stood beside him. Before he lowered his spear, and spoke. "The Chief is waiting for you. When he defeats you we will hold a glorious feast...."
I looked at the camp and me and Merli knew the feast the spoke of wouldn't come. They didn't even have food to spare for the goblins they took in what feast would they have? The Orc whispered as we walked past, "please many of us our counting on you glorious one."
Merli scoffed slightly while whispering, "Glory this, glory that. So dumb..."
I scratched my head where two horns were beginning to grow into nubs. A fatty orc sat on a straw throne. He stood up and pointed an axe at me. "YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME! I AM KNONAK! YOU WILL NOT CHANGE OUR TRIBES WAYS BEAST!"
I looked around and sighed, "From what we understood, you don't really follow your own clans rules. What food will you feast on? Your fat? Some kind of dirt? Only the hunters and women aren't starving, yet you say you will hold a feast?
Knonak yelled, "YOU KNOW NOTHING! I had to best my 7 elder brothers and kill my 5 younger brothers! The burdens I bare are nothing you can understand!"
Merli just rolled its eyes. I however saw something else in Knonak's eyes that disgusted me. I sighed, "I am gonna take your axe and remove your head. After that I will turn your skin into a blanket."
Many orcs gasped in shock it was a tad brutal, but according to what me and Merli were told and knew. The Twilight wolf clan was by far the tamest of the orc clans. Which meant the scripted we had prepared was effective.
To my surprise I got a achievement.
Merli stared at me and whispered, "I know that look you got a achievement?"
"Silver tongued." I whispered back.
Merli responded, "Oh, I have that one, its pretty common among monsters and humans."
The orcs whispered as well and Knonak grew red, "YOU IGNORE ME DESPITE MAKING THE CHALLENGE!"
I looked at him, "Oh you were speaking? Sorry it just took us like a day to travel here so I don't care what you have to say."
Knonak seemed to snap, "I WILL NOT WAIT TILL THE SHAMANS COME I WILL CUT YOU DOWN!"
Knonak charged forward with his axe raised. His legs wobbled as he ran and his grip on the axe was a little loose. Hearing that we were actually waiting for the shamans shocked me slightly, but I punched Knonak in his nose when he got close enough.
He didn't even try to swing his axe when I threw my punch he flinched. While stumbling back, "Ha I knew you would attack like a coward! Now die!"
He swung early this time and I grabbed the axe and punched him in the nose again. i then pulled the axe from him and swung it around. Merli had already backed up at this point so I nodded. "This is a good axe, it was you daddies wasn't it? You steal it from him? or was it given to you after you sucked his dick?"
Many of the orcs seemed caught off guard at my trash talk and it was clear it stunned Knonak too. I Lunged with he axe and cut into his shoulder. It didn't go in very deep and he tried to swing at me, but I kicked him pushing him back with a heavy grunt.
"HA! I am the strongest Orc of this clan! My vitality is over 100! You can't dare to beat me!"
I looked at him and sighed. I lunged again however this time I swung down with all my strength and I tore through his stomach. he sputtered backwards as I pulled the axe up and slammed it down on a leg cleaving it off.
"That's crazy, My strength is actually 90. I guess 100 vitality doesn't mean much?"
His eyes widened, "90! b-but your just a calf still how?"
I shrugged, "Achievements mostly, a Tauren's basic strength stat is 50 apparently and since I evolved from a normal cow.... Eh you get it buddy, you just dead."
He grabbed dirt of the ground and threw it at me. He stumbled backwards to try and reach for a stone, but the shamans jumped in between us. "Please wait! let us reattach his leg and heal him! No weapons must be involved into this fight. We understand you came empty handed and the chieftain attacked. However it must be a duel of equal standing."
"Okay."
So watched as three shaman attached his leg with a bright green light. I waved at Merli and I heard a telepathic message. "Its amplification magic along with the spell natural cure. You can't learn it unless you are in a shaman evolution tree or class."
I shrugged and Merli understood, "For monsters Classes are unlocked at level 50 or the third evolution. They are a best way to obtain skills."
I pointed at the shaman and Merli nodded, "Orcs have a stage called Lesser Orcling. Its when they are age 1-9. They automatically evolve at 10 to a normal orc."
I nodded and Merli cut off its telepathic explanation. Leaving me to toss the axe and begin stretching. Eventually however Knonak stood up and raised his fists.
"I will beat you now you bastard!"
I could see a smile on a shaman and I could tell it was Tuk's brother. They had the same lips, and it was obvious he told the fatty orc a lie. Which meant they were going by the plan of giving Knonak a 'buff'.
It was to give Knonak a fake sense of strength. We told Tuk to do this because it will be a good plan in order to allow me to pass the torch of chief to Tuk smoothly and without question. This was to work some magic to convince those who might not agree with the changes Me and Merli suggest. Except to also quell the goblins I had previously evicted because they have the chance to become a problem with dissatisfaction.
I put a finger in my ear and acted disinterested. This made Knonak sprint towards me with no regard for his own safety. I kicked upward straight into his groin, he dropped like a rock and started crying. It seemed Orcs were more sensitive down below either that having hooves to kick with were really effective.
"You are u-u-unreasonable!"
"That's kinda why we are in a Veni-Tura, since you were unreasonable. Treating your people poorly, killing your family? Let me guess you didn't challenge them fairly did you?"
"You don't know what I had to do!"
I looked down as he was getting up. "You are right, but we all have struggles."
I then moved as I stomped my hoof down. Deciding it really was the hoof that made the difference as my foot broke is ribs and crushed his chest. I held back a smile as a notification appeared.
The last notification stunned me a little, but it was good nonetheless. I was also saddened by the lack of an achievement. All and All though I felt this was perfect.
