There were smart beasts which would run, innately recognizing the danger, but there were also some beasts which could not properly assess themselves .
The fact that no beasts have come across our way meant that those drum sounds made them fear us . Of course, it probably would not work on those beasts that might have evolved several times, but we were able to march forward quickly as a result .
We ate as we walked . Resting was only for once a day . It was only when we needed to take some sleep . As it wasn’t possible to pitch tents for every member, it was physically uncomfortable, yet the resting times were truly enjoyable .
As we marched towards the East in this fashion, the changing of scenery was being noticed . Although the swamps have not disappeared, it certainly felt like the area was opening up more widely .
Likewise, the land on which we walked on was also being opening up wider . Rather than having small swamps in sporadic fashion, there was ground which could certainly be walked on and tents could be pitched .
It was a very different feeling . Where there were swamps, it was very damp and shady, but where there were open fields, there were growing grass and gave a feeling of life . I smiled for some reason, thinking that these boundaries have been drawn up, somehow .
‘It’s fitting . ’
Although it wasn’t intentional, I felt that the land was quite well fitting for me . As marching a little bit further would place us in the territory of ‘Hydra’, the beast of the east, we established a temporary village at an appropriate location in order to recover from fatigue .
Since I wanted to look upon the land a bit longer, I was quietly surveying the area when Goff and Black Spear approached me . They, too, have allowed their tribes to take rests, and came out of the village for a little bit .
“This is a good land . ”
“I’ve heard that better land lies beyond the territory of the beast of the east . There are fruit trees and good soil which is perfect for building a village . I feel fortunate to have decided to grow roots in this region . ”
Even Black Spear added to Goff’s comment . I, too, certainly had the same thoughts as they had . It was truly a fantastic land .
I nodded, and they also nodded again . Only after sharing a few more words, I was able to send them back, and even though they did not show it, they appeared to be highly excited .
However, the green skins were unusually quiet in that evening . They were eating, acting, and enjoying the evening like any other evenings, but they were unusually quiet .
They were just looking at the big flag that Gark has carried until now .
I, too, for some reason looked at the flag . As the wind blew, the fluttering flag left a great impression on me .
That was how the evening was passed and the true morning arrived .
After cleaning up the temporary village, Gark raised up the flag . I smiled upon looking at that . As if no one was able to contain oneself any longer, everyone got geared up for battle, and with respectable tattoos on them, Orc and the goblins breathed roughly .
No more words were needed any longer .
The Goff Clan, the Blood Dagger Clan, and the Black Spear Clan were beginning to intermix . As they have been training for a while, everyone was ready to place their lives and backs on each other .
“Let there be glory!”
“Let there be honor!”
“Let there be victory!”
The group began to march . Leading the march with Goff, I smiled . It was because as we marched closer and closer to the inner area, the smell of danger came blowing towards us .
Sending spasms through our bodies, it was as if the ambience was telling us that this was my territory . An ordinary human would have definitely run away . However, I smiled .
Goff, too, smiled, and other Green Skins all smiled .
It was a smell of danger that I sensed for the first time in a long time . The beast of the East was certainly aware that someone else has encroached on his territory .
“Victory!”
Orc began to continue to pound on the drum made out of human skin . As the bastard’s smell became stronger and stronger, the sound of the drum grew louder . As his eyes were turning red and breathing was growing rougher, I, for a moment, thought that he might be making sounds that would increase his wildness, but it didn’t seem that way . It might have been purely on my part for getting excited .
“Boom!”
The land which we’ve placed our feet is the end of the East .
“Boom!”
We’ve come to tear up the beast of the East .
“Boom!”
We’ve come to raise the glorious flag .
“Boom!”
And
As if to respond to our sounds, the bastard’s shrieking sound began to reach us .
“Krrrrrruuuh!”
“Krreeeeeh!”
“Krrrrrraaah!”
It was the sound of exactly three heads shrieking . The entire end of the East seemed to be echoing that it appeared to be hurting the ears, if I was to exaggerate in describing it . Goff began to dash towards where the bastard’s sound was coming from as soon as he heard it . The group that was marching also moved quicker .
“Krrrrrr”
The sound of Goff, in excitement, came and rang in my ears .
“Krrrrrrrruh!”
The sound that exploded out of the mouth was the sound of an animal . Determined to be not underplayed, Goff was the fastest one to dash towards the bastard . What was visible was three headed Drake which had as big a body as the roots that we had faced . The bastard, turning his head towards us, was expected . Spasms ran down our bodies with just meeting the bastard’s eyes .
The beast of the East kept looking in our direction . That was, to be exact, it was focused on the lone Orc who was dashing towards him . It was a rush that might have someone to think of it as a useless act . I was looking on the back of such Goff . His back was very wide . It was the back of a warrior who had a lot to protect .
“Give me death if not victory!”
“In the path of our brothers! Let there be glory!”
That’s how the beast of the East and Orc collided .
