TL Note: There's a queue now, but this won't count against it as I still owe you guys a free extra chapter. Well here it is. Enjoy!

The orc horde showed an opening from their flanks.
And I decided to take advantage of that as they continued to close in on the village.
“Don’t make any sound,” I ordered as we ran through the thickets.
I kept my hand on the Iron Second on my back as I made haste for the orc before us.
“Turn me into a blade (Enchant)!”
Immediately, I clad my blade in magic power. And with a stroke, I cut down the orc before me.
“PyuGUaa!” screamed the orc.
We need to leave before the orcs gather because of that orc’s dying scream.
–––But before that!
We cut down more of the crowded orcs. And after Gi Go’s and Gi Ji’s squads pushed back the orcs a little, we withdrew.
“GURUuUuuAA!”
We couldn’t even kill 5 orcs in this surprise attack.
And even back when we attacked the orcs from behind a while ago, the number we killed could not even reach 6.
This is bad.
The orcs are tougher than expected, so the attacking power of the goblins aren’t as effective as I expected they’d be.
Even the battle on the other side isn’t going favorably. Gi Gu and Gi Ga, two noble class goblins, are leading their squads to fight, and yet the number of orcs they’re killing are still below the expected number.
It’s as if we’re fighting against monsters that do not tire.
No matter how much we cut them, the orcs refuse to show any signs of weakening.
I stood at the back as I ended the charge against the orcs.
I sent Gi Gi last night, but he still hasn’t returned. When is he coming back?
Those thoughts that reeked of weakness suddenly appeared within my heart. But sa I wielded Iron Second, I swept those unbecoming thoughts away.
I am the king.
If the one the retainers believe in stops believing in himself, what do you think will happen!?
I must not waver.
“Once more!”
As the orcs began to move ahead again, I resumed our attack.
We’ll cut you orcs as many times as we need to!
◆◇◆
It was clear even from a distance. The current situation was headed toward the worst possible conclusion.
After attacking the orc horde for the fourth time, I saw the state of the village.
Shit!
Half of the traps have already been used.
They haven’t reached the fences yet, but that’s only a matter of time.
The stones and the magic are continuously being shot at the orcs, and are keeping the situation together, but that too is only a matter of time. At some point, this situation will topple over in favor of the orcs.
The orc horde’s attack is too fierce. It might be because their king is leading them, but either way, they’re charging recklessly. They’re not even bothering to help their trapped brethren up as they trampled them over underfoot.
Don’t they know fear!?
I couldn’t help but think that as I watched their fearless charge unfold before my eyes.
After a while, the orcs finally reached the ditch.
Shit!
Quickly, I looked toward the orc horde.
There’s still plenty of fighting force left in by the orc king who was leading the raid against the village. Compared to that, we’re… I glanced at the goblins behind me, and I observed that they were all clearly exhausted.
Each time we attacked, the goblins had to dodge the orc’s attacks that could fatally injure any one of them with a single stroke. Of course, we could also whittle away the orc’s forces slowly, but at this rate, the village will fall before we accomplish anything of note.
And while Gi Go, Gi Ji, and the other goblin rares still have some strength, the normal goblins are clearly about to reach their limits.
But, even then–––
I have to make them march. Otherwise, the village will fall.
“Onwards!” I commanded.
They don’t even have the strength to speak. Even that silent nod of theirs only bore hope at most.
Shit! What king!? I call myself king, and yet the most I can do is rely on their strength!?
With my body lowered, I approached the orc horde from the thickets.
“PyuGUaAAa!”
At the orc’s cry, I looked up momentarily. There, I saw the orcs quickly gather into one group as they began to head toward our direction.
