Chapter XV
In the next day, Leron and the others woke up. "We need to get going soon," said Leron. The others nod in agreement. "We can't waste any more time," said Leron. They started packing up their things and they rode to the same mountain. They reach the mountain and there were a lot of Guards up the mountain. "Oh shit get down," said Leron. They all got down. "what are we going to do?" Fareld said. "Let's go back to the king Leron we have enough information," said Henny. "No. We have to finish what we started. We can't go back empty-handed. I'm going ahead with my plan." The guards stared at Leron in disbelief and then they started marching toward the Mountains. The other knights followed behind Leron. They march up the mountain. Finally, they reached the top of the mountain. "What are we going to do now?" asked Henny.
"We wait for the chief."
"and then what?"
"we will take him down"
All the knights were shocked at what Leron said. "are you fucking crazy Leron. You told us we won't be engaging in any Fight"
"We were attacked and chased by the Orcs. so technically we engaged in a fight."
Henny sighs.
After an hour the orc chief and his men. come out of the cave.
"what do we do now?" asked Henny.
"wait till he comes closer"
The Orc chief walks closer to the knights and then he sees Leron. As soon as the chief came near the rock wall, Leron jumps out from the other side and starts attacking the chief. The other knights join in on the fight.
The chief is injured badly and can barely stand. Henny and the others took out the other orcs easily. "we did it!" cheered Leron.
"We won," said Henny.
"We can go back to the castle now," said Dane.
"Yes! Let's get out of here," said Henny. The knights tie up the chief and started dragging him behind the horse while they were going back to the castle. "We will Get additional information from this ugly fucking beast," said Leron as they were riding back to the King's castle. "we took a risk But we made it Alive luckily," said Henny. "Kor didn't," said Dane. They all go silent for a while. "How many days till we get to the castle?" asked Leron.
"It shouldn't be more than a day or two," said Henny.
"I can't wait to get home. I've been gone far too long," said Dane.
"Me too," said Leron.
The group continues to travel through the forest, making good progress. As they rode back to the castle, the knights were relieved that their mission was successful and that they had captured the orc chief. However, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness for the loss of their fellow knight, Kor. And the other knights they lost in battle. They rode in silence for a while, thinking about their fallen comrade.
After a day they reached the king's castle. As they rode through the castle everyone in the castle got scared and shocked when they saw the Orc. a look of pride was on Leron's face. They finally reached the center of the castle where Commander Marlys was. Marlys's eyes widened at what He saw. Marlys quickly orders his men to take the Orc to a cage. The knights took him. Marlys approaches Leron. "I must say that I'm surprised," Marlys said. Leron smirks. "We got enough information on the Orc village and we got you this fucking Orc" Leron said. "tell me what is your plan?" said Marlys. "I will tell You the plan as soon as we Give the information to the King," Said Leron. Marlys nods. "where are the other knights?" Marlys asked. Leron Didn't know what to say. "They are dead," said Dane. Marlys looks at Leron with disappointment. "they died for a good cause" Leron said. "We will talk later about this," Said Marlys. Leron and the knights Entered the castle and were greeted by the King. "I can't believe my eyes we got a whole fucking Orc inside our castle," said the King. "it's not just the Orc we got more information on the Village"
"where is the Orc?"
"It's in the Dungeon, your majesty"
He orders his men to bring the Orc to the throne room. The King was astonished when he saw the Orc. "You brought this to me," the king said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Where are the other Knights?"
"They are dead," Leron replied.
"Dead? How?"
"We encountered a whole army of Orcs and we fought them off. The only survivors are me, Henny, dane, and Fareld."
They were killed in battle, Your Majesty," said Leron.
The King looks at Leron with a mixture of sadness and pride. "I am sorry for your loss, but you have done an excellent job. Tell me, what is your plan for the Orc and the information you have gathered?"
"Well, we got many information including their numbers. We believe they are around 100 orcs living in the village, not including The Guards. We also discovered that they have public sex in the village."
The King's expression changes to one of disgust. "This is troubling news. We must act quickly to stop these beasts from spreading their depravity." Leron continues, "We propose a full-scale attack on the village, Your Majesty. With the information we have gathered, we can plan a strategy that will ensure minimal casualties on our side and maximum destruction of the orc village."
The King nods in agreement. "I will gather my advisors and we will plan the attack immediately. Well done, Leron, and the rest of you knights. You have served your kingdom well."
The King turns to the Orc. "Oh Gods I hate these things"
The Orc was awake and He was looking at Leron with an angry look. Leron Notices him and Walks to the Orc. "so are you willing to tell us some information?"
The Orc was silent. "if you don't talk nothing good will happen"
The Orc looks at Leron with a sneer, "I will never betray my people. You and your kind are the true beasts."
Leron turns to the King, "It seems he won't be talking anytime soon, Your Majesty. We can use other methods to gather information."
The King nods, "Do what you must. But make sure it's quick, we need to prepare for the attack."
Leron nods, "Understood, Your Majesty."
Leron orders the Knights to Take the Orc back to His cage in the dungeon. Leron goes to His room and sleeps.
He woke up the next day, someone was knocking on the door. Leron quickly wore his clothes and opens the door. It was Keerla. Leron sighs. "what do you want?" said Leron. "I need to talk to you, Leron," Keerla said. "Can I come in?"
Leron hesitated for a moment before stepping aside to let Keerla in. She walked past him and took a seat on the chair. Leron closed the door and followed her, standing in front of her with his arms crossed. "What do you want to talk about elf?" he asked, his tone guarded. Keerla looked up at Leron, noticing the change in his tone and the use of the word "elf". "Leron, I know things have been strained between us lately, but I need to talk to you about something important," she said, her voice calm and steady. "I understand that you may not want to hear what I have to say, but please, just hear me out."
Leron stood there for a moment, considering Keerla's words. He knew that things had been tense between them, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to hear whatever she had to say, but he also knew that he couldn't just brush her off. He let out a sigh and sat down across from her. "Fine, go ahead," he said, his tone still guarded. Keerla took a deep breath before beginning. "Leron, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I've realized that I still have feelings for you. I know that things ended badly between us, and I take responsibility for my part in that. But I can't help but feel like there's still something there between us. I want to try again, to see if we can make things work."
Keerla's words and the idea of getting back with her made Leron laugh. He couldn't believe that she would think that they could make things work after everything that had happened between them. He turned to her with a harsh expression on his face. "Are you serious? Do you really think that we could just pick up where we left off like nothing ever happened? Do you have any idea how much you hurt me?" he said, his voice filled with anger and betrayal. Keerla's face fell at Leron's reaction. She had expected him to be hesitant, but she hadn't expected this. "Leron, I know that I hurt you and I'm sorry for that. But I truly believe that we can work through our issues and make things right," she said, her voice trembling slightly. Leron started laughing Uncontrollably. "You think this is funny?" Keerla said, her voice filled with hurt and anger. Leron tried to compose himself, wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes. "I'm sorry, Keerla, it's just the absurdity of the situation. Do you really think that we can just work through everything and make things right? After everything that's happened, you expect me to just forgive and forget? That's not how it works," he said, still chuckling. Keerla stood up, her fists clenched at her sides. "I can see that you're not taking this seriously, Leron. I'll leave you to your laughter," she said, her voice shaking with anger and emotion. She turned to leave, tears streaming down her face. Keerla opens the door and Leaves him. Leron Smirks. "Fucking Bitch" He said.
