The battle rages on as Reign and the others take on the small army of orcs and hobgoblins. Beast was using his bow to kill any enemy that tried to escape while Blackie and Fluffy were situated behind the army with the other two wolves, ready to pounce on any fleeing enemy.
“Reign, what the hell is happening?!” Wolf shouts at Reign as he glances at Magokur who was suddenly fighting against the orcs with them.
“I’m not sure, but one thing is certain, he’s not our enemy, at least not right now,” Reign speaks as he cuts apart an orc that was in front of him. He was equally confused by the orc’s actions, but that will have to wait until they finished things up with these guys.
Magokur was completely decimating his opponents by himself as Reign and the others fought further away from him. His body was drenched in blood as he smashed his enemies apart with the hammer. Bits and pieces of flesh were stuck on the hammer as fresh blood dripped down from it.
“V-v- vice-commander, what has gotten into you?!” One orc suddenly stabs Magokur from behind as he shouts in panic. The blade was stopped by Magokur’s hand before it could cause any serious injury. He smiles viciously at the orc as he smashes his hammer down on him, the orc swiftly lets go of his blade before jumping back and evading the attack.
“No need for the dead to know,” Magokur says as he suddenly shows up in front of the orc before grabbing his head and slamming him down on the ground. Dark orange electricity suddenly explodes from his hand as the orc stops struggling.
Over a hundred orcs were in the small army that Magokur brought with him, more would soon arrive so they had to take care of these guys quickly. Soon most of the enemies were dead while only about ten or so were fearfully holding their weapons while looking at Reign and the others.
Magokur was behind the orcs, they knew that retreating was impossible, Magokur was faster than them with his electricity while the other human was even faster than him. The orcs looked hatefully at Magokur as one of them shouts, ” Magokur, how dare you side with the humans and betray the chieftain, you will pay for this!”
“Hahaha, perhaps I will, but you will not be able to see that.” Magokur laughs lightly as he charges at the orcs together with Reign and the others, soon they were all dead. Reign and the others point their weapons at Magokur who looks at them with a smile before dropping his hammer on the ground.
“Humans, let’s talk.” They all glance at each other as they slowly sheathe their weapons while looking at Magokur with confused expressions on their faces.
“So first let me introduce myself, I am Magokur Thundermaul, right now I am the vice-commander of the orc army in this settlement.” Magokur sits down after finishing his words.
“Reign, I’m the leader of the human territory here.”
“Oh, so you are the leader, good, good!” Magokur laughs heartily as he takes out a leather flask from his waist, he opens it and starts drinking before wiping his mouth and looking at Reign and the other who seemed confused, “What, I was thirsty.”
“Do you mind explaining what just happened here?” Reign points towards the dead orcs as he looks at Magokur.
“Oh, well for that I need to tell you a bit about me, me before coming on this planet.” Magokur suddenly shows a serious expression on his face as he starts narrating his story.
He came from a different planet where magic was present since long ago. The most surprising part is that he was from an orc empire that had a huge territory and was friendly with the neighboring kingdoms.
“In my empire, I was simply a lieutenant, there are millions of my brethren that live there, and many other races, like humans.” The words coming out of Magokur’s mouth surprised Reign and the others greatly, orcs were friendly towards humans? .𝘤𝑜𝑚
“Don’t be so surprised, it wasn’t always like that, decades, even centuries of war happened before that, my people simply realized that it would never end if the many races continue hating each other.”
“The empire spent many years trying to befriend the surrounding kingdoms and different races before peace was finally achieved, we even opened our borders to anyone who wished to enter, the first years were harsh, nobody forgot about the wars and the loved ones they had lost, orcs, humans, elves, we still hated each other but, for the sake of peace we tried.”
Magokur smiles slightly as he looks at the blue sky.
“Many were against the emperor and his new rules, how could you blame them, they were fighting against the others for so long that thinking of them as anything but an enemy was almost impossible, everyone thought that the peace wouldn’t last long, that soon they would be at the battlefield again, but that never happened.”
“The emperor was wise, he made sure to create strong bonds with the other kingdoms around us, we helped defend them when they needed it, and they, in turn, did the same for us, slowly an alliance was formed amongst us, my brethren soon started talking and forming friendly relations with the races that came in our empire, over the course of many years we had achieved the unimaginable, we were at peace.”
Magokur looks at Reign and the others with a warm expression on his face.
“Peace is still present there, but a holy decree was passed on from the gods that ruled us, a new planet had been discovered and they needed everyone to prepare for war, I and many others joined and went through the teleport, only to find ourselves here in this settlement.”
“Many of my brethren came with me here, the chieftain and the commander however were not a part of my empire, they were from a different tribe, perhaps a different planet.”
He suddenly points at the corpses that littered the battlefield.
“They are also not a part of my empire, the chieftain made sure to put me in charge of his men, in case I don’t try to do anything against him. To be ruled by that bastard, that is something I can’t stand, he only wishes war, war, and domination against everyone else.” Magokur clenches his hands as they start getting red.
“That is why I decided to take this bet, when I saw him being together with you I realized that maybe I don’t need to simply fight under the chieftain, if I work together with you, perhaps there was a chance of defeating him and taking control of the orcs.”
“Taking control of the orcs?” Shadow looks at him suspiciously.
“Yes, if you can help me kill the commander and chieftain then I will be the strongest fighter here, by tradition the position of chieftain is mine, I believe you would rather have orcs as allies that will fight alongside you compared to fighting against each other constantly.”
“So, you wish to create an alliance between orcs and humans in this town?” Reign looks at Magokur with a serious expression on his face.
“Correct, I know that many have died here, I know it will be difficult for our two races to live together, but I believe that we can achieve the same as my brethren did on my home planet, after some time they will slowly forget the hatred and start cooperating.”
“I don’t mind agreeing, but how do you plan on tricking your superiors, everyone here is dead, they will be suspicious of you,” Reign says as he points at the corpses.
“Well that’s not a problem, first you all need to attack me and give me some wounds, not too serious, but not light either.” Magokur stands up as he points at himself.
“The reinforcements should be arriving at any moment when they see me and you guys fighting when they arrive they will of course think that you were simply too strong and that my mission had failed.” Magokur smiles at them brightly.
Soon everyone took out their weapons and did as he asked, fire burned some parts of his skin while Reign’s lightning shocked other parts. Cuts, bruises, even some broken bones were now the injuries that Magokur had.
“Good, now we need to fight, I can already hear them.”
Reign and the others nod in agreement as Beast had already detected the reinforcements that were coming towards them. This time there were many more orcs in the army while a huge orc was leading them.
They start fighting as explosions happen in the surroundings, Reign and the others made sure that they were injured as well and that only 2 people were currently fighting against Magokur. As the army arrived close to them they acted like they were angry and disappointed that they couldn’t finish the battle.
The huge orc charged at them with fury in his eyes after seeing his vice-commander in such a state while the soldiers were all dead. His speed was low thankfully and they were able to flee without any problems.
“See ya,” Magokur whispers as he collapses on the ground.
