Oak.
In their past life, they were treated as pig-headed bipedal monsters, depicted as a race of people who walked the path of true men while wearing makgora, or depicted as being crazy about war while shouting WAAAGH!!.
It's really unfortunate that the orcs of this world are the last of the three. Not in terms of technological prowess, but in the sense that they are fascinated by war and combat..
A fighting people who are extremely belligerent and have the characteristic of seeking out battles as soon as food, clothing, and shelter are provided. If you listen and watch this far, you may notice something strange. They like fighting, but it makes no sense for them to wander around their habitat and not even go near the capital because they are afraid of death. And of course there is a reason for that..
This is because, 'by their standards', when their scale does not grow to the point that they cannot control their self-confidence, these guys act like the world's fearmongers and survive by plundering metallurgy. This is because they are a species with a very foolish duplicity..
According to research by professional ecologists, even if only about 30 tribe residents are gathered together, they begin to seek battle as if they have anger management problems, and as soon as there are 20 or so troops capable of combat, they begin to attack other tribes' orcs first. It is known that they seek out and attempt aggressive mergers and acquisitions. What if there are no orcs around? Of course they invade humans..
If you look at it up to this point, what they are doing is at the level of being a goblin, but the problem is that, unlike their lame behavior, their natural body has specifications worthy of the name of a monster, so they are far superior to goblins..
They are bipedal wild boars themselves. Both externally and physically.
Goblins are considered to have the thinking ability of ten-year-old children, but these guys are just like humans. It is very rare for their armies to grow as they fight each other, and since they are born to specialize in destruction rather than creation, even if only one of them had been overcome, it would have become a very threatening monster. Well, because of that aggressive attitude, territory fights often occur with other monsters, so their power doesn't grow easily....
If unlucky conditions are met, a large army of orcs can literally destroy the country..
"I remember reading this in a cheap book at the village hall when I was young, and even everyone in the neighborhood knew about it, so why aren't adventurers paying attention??"
In fact, it happened once about a few hundred years ago. At that time, it is said that it took only a week for a large army of Orcs to devour one of the famous kingdoms in the west..
Starting with that incident, the major countries called the Western 8 Kingdoms had to become the 5 Kingdoms, and it was also an opportunity to let the world know that the orcs were not a problem of one kingdom, but a problem on which the survival of humanity could depend..
In fact, if I could pull out the roots, I would have done so a long time ago. I'm doing this because I haven't done that yet..
"Humans are the ones who leave things from hundreds of years ago as legends. Rather, I think that for a human being, LD is closer to being fully aware of the importance of records left in the past.."
Asilier's opinion, expressed as she walked lightly through the snow-covered forest as if she were having a picnic on a spring day, was quite credible. Although she lives in a world filled with magic, demons, all kinds of heterogeneous races, and supernatural abilities, there are more idiots than she thought who believe that the legends are nonsense..
People from other dimensions would think that these people are reincarnated modern people and suffer from insensitivity to safety, and that I am a native of another world and am trying to learn from history..
"found."
While I was lamenting over this frustrating reality, Asilier found the traces and beckoned me. She wondered how on earth she found it in all this snow, so she walked up in wonder, and what she pointed to was not the floor, but a tree..
It's a wooden horse that has traces of being hit in half with something like a blade..
"I also told LD about these traces before.?"
"huh. I told you that orcs who are starting to turn a blind eye can't control their temper and often take out their anger on those around them like this.."
"Umm, I didn't say that, but the content is correct anyway.."
It's not to mark their territory or to pose a threat, it's just a trace they left as a way to vent their anger after getting angry because they wanted to fight but couldn't..
"It's not good."
Of course, this is something you don't do when you're in scare mode. I heard that they attack occasionally, so I thought they were in a cowering state and running rampant for food, but this was something I didn't expect at all..
"It is true that there is a shortage of food..."
"There is a high possibility that there is a shortage due to overcrowding.."
To be exact, there is a shortage of ‘military provisions’, not food..
It was fortunate that the orcs were stone-headed. If those guys weren't stone-headed and had the intelligence to use strategy and tactics, the village would have been devastated before I even arrived..
"I thought the number of people I had sent so far would be sufficient to attack a village of that size. The advance team must have thought they had failed because they were stupid and weak, so they sent the same number of people again.."
The only strategy and tactic in the orcs' dictionary is to shut up and charge..
Like those who rise up when their confidence is not enough, if they lose on the battlefield with the number of people they judged to be sufficient, they lose because the people who participated were weak, not because they lacked the number of people or had a problem with their fighting methods. The mentality that seems to be specialized for AOS games, always looking for the cause of the problem from outside, is one of the biggest reasons why they cannot take over humanity..
However, it was not a situation where one could just relax. If the last attack had been the last of the orc chieftain's patience, the chieftain, furious at his incompetent subordinates with his eyes closed, could have led the army himself..
"Sister, sister, go back and tell Ciel about this.."
So, I made the best choice I could at the moment. However, because my physical condition was not perfect, Asilier showed a rare rejection reaction..
"Wouldn't it be better for L.D. to go back and have my sister go on an additional search??"
"There is a difference in the speed at which it rotates. As you know, this may be an urgent situation, so we have to go back with full force.."
Even though I moved while taking into account the fact that I could not fully use my magic power, the distance we moved was incomparable to that of other adventurers. They are not a forest race for nothing..
"If we arrived sooner than expected, please help us find traces of the others and return early. I'll find out more with Leica.."
I thought for a moment that it would have been nice to have something like fireworks for emergency communication, but it might have irritated the orcs for no reason, so it might have been better not to have them at all. She didn't follow up with a rebuttal as to whether she thought my judgment was the best, but I couldn't help but think she was reluctant..
"No matter how much I do, will I still be defeated by the orcs? If you don't think it's okay, I'll give up and return first, so don't worry too much.."
They are unable to overcome their temper and are so obsessed with breaking skulls with all their might that they do not even use a bow or sling a stone. Unless I make a sudden move, the situation Asilier fears will never happen..
"...okay. But even after I've finished bringing the adventurers back, if they don't come back, I'll come look for them.."
I knew that was the maximum compromise Asilier could offer, so I nodded without saying anything. After making a decision, Asilier quickly walked away without even looking back, and I looked at the traces left by the orc on the tree and tried to punch them with my magic power..
Once, with the feeling that this was the minimum level to strengthen the body with magical power, and twice, with slightly higher output. After leaving three scars on the tree, I shook off the pieces of wood stuck in the gauntlet and compared them, and found that the marks left by the orc were similar to the marks from the second punch..
"Even though it's not full power, it's a power that can be eaten up by half-assed Auror users. The world is so unfair.."
It's on a similar level to the guy who put on some weird aura and hit the wall to threaten me in the alley. He probably didn't take out his anger on the tree with all his might, so I guess he just swung moderately and that's about it..
At this level, even if a truckload of trucks came rushing in, it could easily be wiped out, but other adventurers and the village were the problem..
"First of all, from the colony."
There is no time to investigate the cause of an incident that has already occurred based on the six and a half principles..
The key now was to check how many there were and where they were gathered. Once you figure that out, there's no harm in going around picking off the heads of the Orcs you meet, but until then, you should avoid fighting as much as possible and make sure they don't know that I'm chasing them..
They are beast-like in terms of their sense of battle, and when the scale is reduced, they become fearful again, so they understand things like ghosts..
Unfortunately, there were no traces nearby that could rely on Laika's sense of smell, so she had to try to track it herself by following the traces left on the trees. The only clothes the orcs wore were leather mats with strong magical tendencies, so there was no chance of finding a torn hem..
It was a situation where tracking could have become difficult due to the continuous snow falling, but ironically, the aggressiveness of those who made the situation more serious helped greatly in tracking..
Perhaps they came and went more often and more often than expected, because the further they moved into the forest, the more traces they left behind. Some trees even fell down, as if they had been hit by too many people. Anyway, they are bastards who have built a wall with Gido Binik..
I went into the forest, concentrating as much as I could on my hearing and sight. About twenty minutes later, the Orc scouts, moving in groups of two or three, began to come into view. No, it would be more accurate to say that they knew the location even before they were seen because they were making so much noise that it made you wonder if it was a scouting party..
Thanks to this, I was able to largely bypass them and move specifically in the direction they had passed. Still, I kept an eye out to see if there were other adventurers around, but there was no sign of anyone else..
It was strange. This is definitely not a small scale, so how could it be so quiet?.
By the time the number of scouting parties passed by, moving so easily that it was embarrassing to call it infiltration and hiding, reached three, I was able to discover part of a wooden fence that had been crudely piled up near a mountain valley connected to the forest..
It wasn't a good sign either. It was proof that their scale was unexpected..
