THE First battle: Rock's side
The gloomy atmosphere that had previously penetrated Oakenburn City had gone.
almost everyone in the city was preoccupied with the instructions that Leo had given them.
Currently, Leo is still in the same location where he spoke with city residents, sitting in a chair next to a table covered in information about those who can fight on the front lines.
"Let's see, there are 6000 fighters, 5000 warriors, and 1000 mages, 70% of whom are earth mages, 5% water mages, 15% fire mages, and 10% wind mages. Why are there so many earth mages in this region?"(leo)
"Although we don't have time to discuss such a topic right now, leo, earth mages are generally not very popular, which is why you'll find a lot of them here."(doom)
"It's hard to believe they wouldn't be popular given the spells they can cast."(leo)
"While I don't completely understand what you're saying, I can tell you that earth magic, while not as popular as fire magic, is still popular; what isn't popular is earth mages themselves."(doom)
"Why?"(leo)
"If you had the opportunity to learn about magic, you would know that ,now is not the time to discuss this."(doom)
"Okay, these are the instructions I need them to follow. Could you please go to the mayor's castle and see if there are any weapons, particularly bows and arrows, and also ask the Craftsman to make some of them, the more the better?"(leo)
"Roger, that boss!"(doom)
"Shut up and do your job unless you want a beating"(leo)
As I was saying that, I saw Doom running away, while laughing loudly,.
"Mr. William, have you checked that place I asked you about?"(leo)
"Yes, as you said."(wiliam)
"That's good; please take this group there." (leo)
"Roger that!"(william)

Rock pov
Since master began his plan, a few days had passed.
in a canyon.Where the orcs would be marching to reach Oakenburn City,
I heard a voice calling out to me as I waited for them to enter our line of sight.
"Rock, are you ready for this?"(daizel)
Even though my hand was slightly shaking from anxiety, I spoke firmly , "Don't worry Mr. Dalziel, I will definitely do as master asked me to do."(rock)
" That's good"(daizel)
". Actually, that question ought to be aimed at you, Mr. Dalziel: Are you really okay, you seem to be sweating excessively?"(william)
"Thank you, mister William; I'd be lying if I said I am not afraid; if I made a mistake, how many people would die as a result of it?"(daizel)
"Would you then like someone to take your place as leader then?"(william)
"Thank you, but no, Mr.leo has entrusted me with this job, and I will do it even if it is the last thing I do. Also, my task is alot easier than yours, Mr.william and Rock, so i would be ashamed to back down now hahaha."(daizel)
"Then that's good, get ready you two, it seems they have arrived." (william)
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of orcs marching towards us, I couldn't help but shudder from fear. 'Could we really survive against this number of orcs' such a thought couldn't help but come to mind, then I cursed myself for that.
although I wasn't certain 100% that Master's plan would work, but after learning about his plans, I came to believe that it was at least logical. So I shouldn't be pessimistic.
"Let us go."(william)
We moved inside the canyon after hearing Mr.Wiliam's words before the orcs arrived.
When we got to the middle of the canyon, we saw five ways separated by a three-meter-high wall. The width between the walls is only enough for one orc to move freely but impossible for two. These walls also covered the entire second half of the canyon. which is about 2 kilometres long.
These walls, were built by the gathering forces of the earth mages .
Earth mages were the ones who put in the most effort in master Leo's plan, working until their noses bled and their bodies couldn't move anymore , every day since the plan began.
even so they didn't complain because by doing so, they gained respect and their image grew higher in the eyes of the city people.
Normally, a mage has a higher status than any normal warrior, even earth mages, who are the lowest of mages, are higher than warriors, but after what they have done in these days, their position has become even higher than the elite such as fire mages, other mages could only look at them with envy but not jealousy, as even other mages had done a lot of things under master leo's orders.
As we got closer to the walls, we split into five groups and went in, but first we taunted the orcs so they would split between the five walls.
Orcs have strong physical strength, their defence is as strong as humans', but they heal faster than humans an injured that will need a human a whole day to recover from ,orcs would only need less than two hours to heal it . If you taunt them, they will follow you to the end of the world, and while they are stupid, they are not completely unintelligent.
So when we taunt them, they now follow us without thinking.
After a few minutes of running, we arrived at the end of the wall, where other soldiers were waiting for us, fully armed with swords and long spears.
A few moments after we exit, the warriors beside us moved to the exits of the walls, one in front of the other one holding a sword while the other a long spear.
When the first orc was about to emerge, he found a sword in the place where his heart is, and before he could fall to the ground, he noticed a spear moving beside him, stabbing the orc behind him.
The sword and the spear worked togather very well as they kill and kill and kill,.
When the orc's corpse began to impede their movement, other unarmed soldiers began to quickly take their corpse away, and when they became tired, another swordsman and spearman took their place.
That went on for an hour, and they killed tens of thousands of orcs as if they were cutting vegetables.
Me,dalziel and Mr.william didn't know what to say
"The plan of the master is going well," (rock)
"Actually, maybe too well to tell the truth hahaha."(dalzeil)
As we were talking, a man on the right side above the canyon said, "They are starting to break the walls, and at their rate, those walls will only be able to stop them for less than 10 min."
"Okay, thanks, that was expected by Mr. Leo before, so don't worry, now Dalziel and Rock prepare yourself, we are moving away in 5 min," (william)
""Roger""
We then rode the horses we had prepared earlier while waiting for those who were still killing the orc to join us.
after that we departed at a speed that would allow the orc to see and follow us.
We found our second destination 20 kilometres away, which was also another canyon, but this time we didn't build anything in it.
when we reached the middle of the canyon, the road was naturally split into three ways.
"Then this is where we split rock as planned: you go right, I go left, and Dalziel goes straight."(william)
""Right, sir""
"Then I wish you the best of luck."(william)
""You to Sir William""
As before, we taunted them so they would follow us while they split.
After a few minutes of moving with our horses in the canyon, one of the men running above the canyon reported to me , "Sir.rock, about fifteen thousand orcs have followed you, Dalziel was followed by 45 thousand orcs, while Sir William was followed by 25 thousand orcs. This concludes my report, and I wish you luck, sir."
"Thank you" (rock)
'Fifteen thousand isn't a lot fortunately good luck, sir Daniel and William' I thought as we finally reached the canyon's end as a river greeted our sights.
The river's distance between its sides was about one kilometre.
there are three bridges that were built by earth magic beside.
i then dividing my squad into three parts going through the three different bridges.
each with 700 men, and each with about thirty men who wore blue robes that revealed their identities as water mages.
we walked through the bridges, with orcs following us behind.
When we reached the middle of the river, we couldn't walk our horses any longer as the bridge ended in the middle of the river, but we didn't panic because we already knew that.
The thirty-odd water mages Went ahead of us and used a water spell to harden the water enough for us to ride through it without drowning.
And soon we got to the other side, where we let the water mages rest,i spread the soldiers out in front of the river as they took their bows and arrows, shooting any orc that came into their range at will.
When some orcs get too close, they will drop their bows and hold long spears in their hands, then kill them.
When the stupid orcs realised they were in big trouble, they tried to swim back to the other side of the river, but that was stopped by the water mages, who created a barrier of water to circle the orcs, from then on it became another one-sided slaughter that lasted more than an hour and a half.
As everything came to an ended on my side, I couldn't help but let out a sigh,
"Finally, this is over, men, take a fast break first then get ready as we're going to follow Mr.Dalziel ." (rock)
"""""""""""""""""""Yes, sir,""""""""""""""""
