Acting As Decoy

Reinforcements were coming. It might be good news, but Abel wasn't too happy to hear about it. After all, if the humans knew about this, there was no way that the orcs didn't as well. The reinforcement would come in five minutes. Until then, they would surely become more aggressive in their attacks. 

There was also something else that was troubling. It was easy to tell from the four intermediate orc priests back then. Abel wasn't really sure what the orcs were planning, but they were probably preparing for something big.

It was night time now. Since it was hard to see, the quaking earth became all the even scarier. The human team couldn't make an estimate of the enemies' number. They could only tell once the two were close enough to each other.

As though the spirits had come to help, a gentle breeze swept away the clouds that were blocking the moon. It wasn't bright enough yet, but at least it could make the humans see a few hundred meters more.
