Army Angel: The Dark Side

Sparks before battle

This is where I am now, standing among the 2000-strong frontline Elves. No. gabe. More precisely I was standing at the very front position next to one of the commanders of this army. A man named Dale was riding a large brown-horned deer the size of a cow.

He wore a rather different outfit to the troops at the back as a marker that he was a commander.

Back to me alone. I was now wearing iron clothes that covered my upper with iron armor on my hands and feet. For weapons, I used two swords to be right on my waist as well as a dagger tied to my right thigh.

It doesn't take long. A trumpet roared from within the forest as a sign that the Orc army was approaching. Although the sound felt small and may still be far away, but it could be heard clearly from here.

The birds and butterflies flying over the trees flowed out towards the forest, indicating there was a movement there.

Suddenly the whole army looked towards the forest, on standby.

However, it is not our enemy in sight. From within the forest sprung the Elves warriors. They look so exhausted. In fact most of them were injured and walked with gallant steps and gasped for breath out of the forest.

More and more. At least dozens of them were already seen coming out of the forest. Same everything. Their faces were tired and frightened.

Surprising. Suddenly there were some Elves who came out of the forest and ran in droves. This group that had just come out was like different from those who had come out earlier as if they were running away from something.

They shouted, pointed towards the forest and ignited the panic of the group in front. Suddenly, now all the Elves who came out of the forest also panicked and ran as fast as they could towards us.

" What is orc? " I said seeing a different figure walking out of the forest.

Turning around, the five figures that had bodies larger than the Elves came out from within the forest.The five figures looked hairy and had fangs coming out from within his jaw.

They look like****wood forest that runs on both feet. They were bare-chested showing off brown and black feathers that now contained various blood stains. They are also barefoot. The mace, sword and axe were in hand as their weapons.

" Orc hunter. " Say Dale short.

" Orc what? So they're kind of Orcs? " My ask to Dale made sure.

" They are Orcs who hunt prey. They would never give up if they had already determined their prey despite entering into the territory of their enemy though. In a sense, they were an army prepared indeed to hunt to the death. I've fought such Orcs. They are quite strong and the most troublesome thing is their speed. It takes at least 3-4 people to defeat them. Look at that!"

Dale directed his gaze forward towards the Elves.

Panic broke out among them due to the presence of these monstrous creatures.

Whether they could run or not, now they are trying to get away and reach our troops as soon as possible or end up in the hands of the Orcs.

Because of their thinking, there was no other choice but to run. Those who limp try to drag his legs. While those who fall will only be trampled by those who are behind.

Found his hunts beginning to scatter. The creature began to move as well. Running with careless steps they hunted down the fleeing Elves as if unaffected by the presence of our troops.

" Are we not going to help them? " I asked the commander Dale who looked towards them with a sharp look.

"..."

There's not a single answer. Is he thinking about strategy? Then I can't bother him. I don't know much about war strategies for this kind of war. So I better leave it to him.

30 Seconds passed.

1 minute passed.

Hasn't it? Is it that hard?

I feel impatient because I see more and more victims of the massacre. Not a few decided to stop and fight, but they could all be knocked down by those Orcs without any meaningful resistance. Either because they had exhausted themselves or indeed because the Orcs were too strong.

" Nothing. "

" What? What do you mean? "

" There's nothing we can do. No. gabe. There may. We will shower the orcs with arrows when they are attacked. " Said commander Dale.

" What do you mean? Wouldn't if we did that then there would be a lot of casualties from the escapees? "

" right. Then why? They are runaways (desertirs) who escape from the fortress. They should have deserved it. ''

What does this guy mean? Uh. What does it mean that the punishment for defectors running from battle is death? Isn't that an ancient law? No. gabe. If indeed the battle here was a battle that used conventional swords and weapons then it would make sense.

" Can't we use another strategy? After all, if they survived they would be able to come in handy later. "

" What do you mean? "

" As I said. I have heard the news regarding the number of Orc troops. We are outnumbered here. In addition, given the ability of the Orcs that are quite troublesome it is not impossible that we will be quite bothered later with the defeat of this amount. Uh. It's not my intention to underestimate the Elves' abilities. However, with a consideration of my statement this may have a point. If that were so, wouldn't every resource be so precious right now? "

" Did you have another strategy ?"

" What if you send a small army to finish off the Orcs? "

" It was too risky, with their main force getting closer. Moreover, if that army were to lose instead, it would only lower the morale of the troops. "

" Then, how about "

" Dale!" A cutting sound came from behind.

" Your majesty! " The commander saluted the main leader of this army, the Prince.

" What's up? " Ask the prince as he walked over his white deer.

•

" Is that so? Then you heard that too. So what, man? "

Can't this guy just call by name? Why should he call me a human try. Yasudahlah.

" I will face the Orcs! I've faced several Orcs before, so at least I might be able to defeat one or two Orcs there. Then, can you lend me an army to help me do that? "

" Do you guarantee you'll win? " Ask commander Dale.

" I can't be sure. But I will try my best! "

" How about this. I'll lend you my troops. But if the main Orc army shows up and you can't defeat the hunters, then we'll shower the Orcs with arrows. How about that? "

Hey-hey? Why can you think of such a thing? Aren't I here to help you? If you wanted to shower them with arrows at that time wouldn't it be possible for me to be hit by those arrows as well even though I was still alive? Damnit. I feel like I'm eating some fruit right now. But there's no time to argue now. The number of victims is increasing. I must quickly decide!

" all right. I'll try to win before the main army comes."
