223 The Green Skin Army Approaches
—–
Countless Goblins, Orcs, and Trolls began to move around, wearing leather armor and wielding stone weapons, they seemed primitive and without much intelligence either. In this day and age in the World of Terrarium, stone weapons and leather armor wouldn’t help anybody against the powerful monsters that dwell in the wilderness. However, these groups of Green Skins were all primitive tribes brought from the Demon Continent, they only live in forests or inside of dungeons, and have polished their own fighting styles using whatever tools they can find, being monsters and not people, they are incredibly stronger compared to normal humans, dwarves, elves, and more, and can naturally use even their skin as a shield for the stronger ones such as Goblin Champions, Orcs, and Trolls.
And it wasn’t as if the one commanding and ordering them all cared about their safety or something, nor he had the resources to make the wear steel armor and weapons, he simply made them construct things out of the leather of the monsters or beasts they could hunt, and make weapons out of their bones and the stones they could find anywhere else. It was improvised, but Green Skins are not known for having enough resources to build their army with the latest armor and weapon types, and unlike humans, they don’t need it as much.
A blue-skinned demon sat down over an enormous mammoth-like monster, looking down at his army marching across the jungle, with weapons and ready to fight, they had already detected the tribe of amazon moving out, and his vengeance was finally going to be fulfilled, avenging his father was an opportunity given to him by this mysterious magician that had showed up once on his hideout, and since then, he has been preparing for this day.
“At long last, we are starting. I was dying while waiting for so long…” He said with a malicious smile. “Let’s begin the hunt already!”
The blue-skinned demon raised a black sword, as his entire presence emanated an aura of demonic energy and greatness so enormous that it covered all the Green Skins with it, infusing some strange, magical power that only made them grow stronger, all while sharing his same sentiment… the unrelenting desire for revenge!
As the enormous army marched, a magician covered in purple and gold robes looked at the scene, his skin was pale white and his eyes shone with bright red color, he seemed to be dead, but he was a living human. He seemed tired though, his body was growing weaker every second, and he was already at the end of his lifespan… for some reason, despite being not older than 40.
“And there they go… I am sure they’ll be able to buy me some time. Although… Allan, Shade, Faylen, and Nepheline… Those four are way too strong, even with kids and a whole tribe to protect… They might still pull through it…” He thought. “However, it seems that they have given up on the Core… This is my opportunity to seize it before anybody else. Thank you, Aberno, I hope you die while fighting, or something… I never cared about a lowly barbarian like you anyways.”
The man thought to himself many things, as he walked away and then opened a black portal in the middle of the empty air, walking through it and teleporting himself somewhere else…
…..
As the Green Skin army marched, small little blue slimes crawled around while looking at the scene from afar, atop the trees, these little slimes quickly grew alarmed, escaping from the scene and moving back to their original body, crossing several kilometers, and reaching the main body, a bigger blue slime, Pyuku, and fusing back with it.
“PYU?!”
Pyuku suddenly jumped out of Aquarina’s arms, being completely alarmed by the news, he wished he could speak the same tongue as these people, but he could not, because right now he would be telling them that an army of Green Skins is coming right towards this direction!
…
The end of the week has finally come, and with that, the Tribe of Amazon led by Shade and Nepheline have begun to move across the jungle atop tamed six-limbed lizards carrying most of the luggage, and even several tamed gray wolves walking around the entire group of tribe men and defending them from any small to medium-sized predator that might attempt to get closer.
The group of heroes led the tribe towards the outside of the jungle, attempting to reach the outskirts of the jungle and then lead them to more unexplored lands known as the Vast Grasslands of Grandwindia, a region of the continent of Gallatea known for its vast grasslands and wild monsters that roam them everywhere, it has not been conquered duet to the “natural” wall made up by the jungle, so very few people have settled up, and the biggest human settlement were small towns of people living peacefully, it was the ideal place to make their way to the coasts of the continent and then travel to the Atlanta Continent, where the Elves were located.
Sylphy had been feeling nervous this entire time since today in the morning, she had been looking around everywhere using her magic that enhances her vision, seeing anywhere there could be any threat… Aside from the occasional wild monster, there hasn’t been anything weird.
“Sigh…” Sylphy looked back at Aquarina at her side, the two girls, alongside Zack, were traveling atop a large six-limbed lizard with blue scales and colorful feathers on its tail, while Sylphy’s mother, Faylen, was in front of the lizard, commanding the big creature.
“What’s wrong, Sylphy?” Wondered Aquarina.
“I-I am nervous… I don’t know when the green skins will come… I can’t see anything even with my eyes.” She sighed.
“Don’t worry, Sylphy, you won’t have to fight this, we are here to protect you…” Said Faylen. “We have already decided that we won’t let you fight, this is our own fight after all.”
“Mother…”
