Chapter 42: The Phantom World (12)
Orcs are simple and minimalistic and use others for their convenience and to fill gaps in their plain culture.
In this case, what kind of base would be the best to counter those primal beasts?
The base carved into a mountain draped by vast and dense duvets of trees.
Benjamin stood on the feet of the mountain in question, his eyes climbing up the unshaven carpet of woodland until he could no longer see forward, then peeked through the unnatural hole in the canopy above him, feeling like he had just met someone's eyes.
Perhaps this hole was to oversee the entrance to the main base, which would have made sense.
After stepping a little further inside the forest and no longer being under the break in the canopy, Benjamin covertly threw a pebble with the described talisman into the bushes. It was his countermeasure against the labyrinth protecting the main base of the demi-human alliance.
