"I shall go now…" Marc said as he rode Bacon with regal pride as he sat on his saddle with a straightened back and focused eyes.

 

Soon the scenery changed as he and Bacon was now no the other side where his presence was fully announced. This time the Sentries could not miss such a gaudy armor as well as he large mount he rode in.

 

*TOOODOOHH!!!!*

*Drum Music*

 

This was heard by the Chieftains in the tower as they were about to close their pre-crusade discussion. Urul Bladewind ran to the Balcony of the tower and looked through a lens and there he saw the imposing arrival of Marc.

 

Marc had Bacon walk slowly and nonchalantly for a few dozen meters and stopped about five hundred meters away from the troops that are organizing themselves.

 

*Inhale*

 

"ROAR!!" This time Marc felt the weird aura he could only feel outside the wildlands stir within his body so without hesitation he used it in full force along with his mimicry talent to make the most intimidating roar he could ever make.

 

This coupled with him releasing his full power outwards made the army forming far from him pause in fear as they stood motionless.

 

Like prey holding their breath in front of a predator hunting them to lessen their presence.

 

Marc sat still after that glaring in front as he looked at the faces of the orcs gathered in front of him. He counted them and estimated that there are at least 12,000 in number.

 

But he did not flinch as he saw this, he just stood there like a statue yet this inaction of his caused more fear towards the army in front.

 

"Bring your leaders here…" Marc said in a low deep voice as he spoke in English,

 

This time the general of the orcs was able to awaken himself but he was sweating hard. This was the first time ever that something went inside the gates and it made him want to close the gate prematurely.

 

But thinking of the vast amounts of resources they have sacrificed so they could open the gate made him hesitant and that this was the first time something could converse in their language stood before them.

 

"L-lieutenant , go get t-the chieiftains…" the General said as he then gave orders for the army to get over the fear but even then it was visible how much disorganized the army now is after Marc's roar.

 

It did not take long until the chieftains arrived riding on large terror bird like mounts but from Marc's eyes they looked more like overgrown dodos.

 

He looked at the one he had identified as the Chief of the Orc Tribe but as they were just dismounting Marc proceeded with his plan.

 

It was something he had thought off learning that they needed an owner for the dungeon but he could not just march to them and say he will volunteer.

 

Such actions would just invite suspicion so he thought of a way to come at this with a viable reason to be the aggressor. He could not let so much man power be sent to waste so he opened his mouth first.

 

"For Generations your ilk has been invading our lands with no reason, we will endure no longer… all of you prepare to face reparations for the sins you all have committed! I have come on behalf of the rulers of the Wildlands to lay waste to your kind once and for all!!" Marc filled his voice with so much anger and resentment that the chieftains were shocked at the bloodlust he showed.

 

"W-wait!" it was then Urul Bladewind stepped forward along with the chieftains still alert as they felt heavy in face of Marc's full blast aura.

 

"YOU WANT ME TO WAIT?!" Marc acted as unreasonable as he could, he could have been kind and approachable but that would make them chumy to him in the future so having them fear him is better for his laziness.

 

He does not care much about others anyway, but he still punt on the act that he planned as he drew out his spear on his back and poised to attacked.

 

"P-please Great Warrior hear me out first!" Urul stepped forward to stop Marc as he could only see the destruction of their home if they let such a monster move forward.

 

[Ten minutes earlier]

 

"There is a person coming out from beyond the Gates!!" Urul said as he saw Marc walk forward slowly on Bacon.

 

"What?!" Untlac was shocked so he too moved to the lens.

 

"He says true, one being got inside de Gates. Such a shiny armor set, makes me wanta get dem fo maself hehehe…" Wrinkly Nustbitah the Goblin chief said as he looked over using his own scope.

 

"Is it one of the beings you told us about mother?" Arari asked the Matriarch Imlis as she too squinted her eyes to look afar as their eyes were rather gifted in scouting.

 

"N-no, it might be just a messenger. So we shoul-" Imlis was about to continue until Marc's roar was heard all over and those inside the tower was stunned at the sudden pressure sent by Marc.

 

*ROAR!*

 

"KYAAA!!" Glasha and Arari screamed as they felt fear from the roar while the others took a while to recover.

 

"T-dat wuz n-not one in our l-list of da monstrous things beyond da gates." The Goblin Chief shivered as he felt he saw the destruction of their homeworld.

 

"Quickly, let us go there right now!" Bula Bladewind said as she shook Ilac awake from the shock.

 

"BRING US THE FASTEST MOUNTS!!" Untlac shouted outside which woke up the servants and guards as well.

 

On the way they rode they were all somber as the chieftains looked at each other in understanding.

 

"Brother, is the being out there as strong as the ones you have faced outside?" Ilac the young lizard woman asked her brother who seemed to be very tense on the way.

 

"Yes, it is not a familiar one but the weight is over all the same if not stronger…" Untlac's fist clenched as he held the reins while one hand of his felt the spear by his side to feel reassured.

 

It was then they met up with the Lieutenant that was sent to fetch them. It was then they learned that the being could speak their language making the eyes of Urul and the Goblin chief shine as they looked at each other in understanding.

 

"Led the way soldier…" Urul said as he thought of how to go about this. Hearing that the being could understand their tongue then maybe they could reason with it.

 

There he thought of many scenarios as he arrived, he looked at the golden warrior atop a large golden Boar. He looked at the Goblin Chief and his wife as they dismounted but before they could even do anything they heard Marc's voice.

 

"For Generations your ilk has been invading our lands with no reason, we will endure no longer… all of you prepare to face reparations for the sins you all have committed! I have come on behalf of the rulers of the Wildlands to lay waste to your kind once and for all!!" Marc filled his voice with so much anger and resentment that the chieftains were shocked at the bloodlust he showed.

 

"W-wait!" it was then Urul Bladewind stepped forward along with the chieftains still alert as they felt heavy in face of Marc's full blast aura.

 

"YOU WANT ME TO WAIT?!" Marc acted as unreasonable as he could, he could have been kind and approachable but that would make them chummy to him in the future so having them fear him is better for his laziness.

 

He does not care much about others anyway, but he still put on the act that he planned as he drew out his spear on his back and poised to attacked.

 

"P-please Great Warrior hear me out first!" Urul stepped forward to stop Marc as he could only see the destruction of their home if they let such a monster move forward.

 

 

"Are out going to deny years of your invasion in my lands? You think I will listen to invaders like you?!" Marc said in fury as he had Bacon start charging forward but Urul and Nutsbitah ran forward as they threw their weapons away.

 

"Great Warrior, ya hafta listen please. We mean ya no harm!" the Goblin chief sweated as he felt the mount of the person seems to be as strong as they are.

 

"Great Warrior we have no choice so please let us reason with you!" Urul Bladewind ran forward and kneeled as he had realized Marc seemed to be more dangerous than the beast outside.

 

He had thought about what he had just said which means that they might not just be facing one of such beast outside but maybe more. They knew that they had offended the monsters on that forest many times already but they had no choice but to try and seek out a human.

 

Urul still had not thought that Marc was human as he was in full armor and his aura was more or less similar to the beast outside the Gates. So maybe this was just a humanoid beast, they had records of some being able to speak but not in their language.
