Chapter 249
Aegir POV–
The two elves named Pila and Khru put words together as they continue sobbing .
Only a cloth was used to wipe the orc semen from their dirtied bodies so the smell still remains .
But there’s no time to leisurely cleanse their bodies right now .
「……dealing with the first five went smoothly . Felteris-sama’s magic tore through the windpipes of orc after orc, while we used magic and swords to defeat the enemies on our side . 」
「We thought it was an uneventful and rather simple mission . 」
The two hold back tears as they take turns explaining, while Yularen and I listen quietly .
I see, so the subjugation squad was as powerful as they touted themselves to be .
Then, what went wrong?
「Things went sour when we found the orc’s nest and were preparing to burn it down . 」
「Giant stakes and boulders started flying at us all of a sudden . 」
Orcs don’t use detailed tactics, but they’re smart enough to throw fallen trees or rocks .
It’s not anything unusual .
That should have been within expectations and the girls should know that .
「The speed and size of the flying objects were incredible so everyone had their hands full just dodging . 」
Fumu…… did an especially large one make an appearance?
「Wait just a moment . 」
Yularen interrupts .
「Felteris is a user of wind magic who even astonishes me, she could easily deflect the projectiles thrown by the orcs . 」
The girls close their eyes sadly .
「Yes…… we were protected by staying behind Felteris-sama, but she suddenly grabbed her stomach and crouched down . 」
「The shield of wind was also disrupted…… Piko immediately tried to cover for Felteris-sama but the burden was too heavy and she got knocked down by a shard of wood . 」
The two of them look at each other and start sobbing again .
「Piko was captured by the orcs and started to rape her on the spot . She desperately screamed for help while blood ran down her thigh……」
「Felteris-sama and the rest of us tried to save her somehow, but that only threw our ranks into disarray and they captured us one after the other . 」
「……oh my goodness . 」
Yularen put a hand to her forehead while I had a troubled expression as well .
Their greatest asset going down with bad health can be chalked up to unforeseen bad luck .
But the main reason for their annihilation was trying too hard to save their ally in such a dire situation .
I’m sure it would have been possible for the remaining five to escape if they sacrificed the one who was captured .
I shake my head when I think up to that point .
It would be hard for me to run back home if I saw an ally get raped in front of my eyes .
I would rather fight to the death than abandon a woman and run away .
Seeing how Natia fights, the elves are more suited to long range battle with their high evasion skills instead of hand-to-hand combat .
They can go from an overwhelming advantage to utter collapse with one sudden blow .
If Mack and I were there, we could have provided support to more or less cancel the disadvantageous situation…… I should have been more forceful and insisted to accompany them .
「All of us were taken into their nest and messed up by countless orcs……」
「We escaped when Felteris-sama resisted and drew their attention . 」
I see, there are plenty of openings to exploit when orcs rape women after all .
The orcs who chased after these girls must have realized later that they escaped .
「Yularen-sama! Please send a rescue squad! At this rate, everyone will be broken…… they’ll all be killed!」
「We’ll definitely come back even if we have to crawl! Please, I beg you!」
Yularen remains calm as the two girls plead .
「Do you know how many there are?」
「More than 50…… it was a big horde like I’ve never seen before . 」
It’s rare for so many orcs to flock together like this .
There might be an exceptionally strong one leading all of them .
Hearing that, Yularen subtly shakes her head and sighs .
「It’ll be hard . To begin with, the six individuals sent were warriors most suited for battle in this village, and for all of them to be defeated our only option left is to mount an attack with the entire village including all the males . It will take some time to make preparations for that . 」
「You don’t mean-! Those dirty orcs will insert their dirty large tools endlessly…… they won’t last more than a few days!」
「Felteris-sama was surrounded by a particularly large number of orcs…… she’s surely in big trouble!」
The two girls continue pressing Yularen, but she won’t change her mind .
Her way of thinking is understandable .
As the village chief, she couldn’t just sacrifice a larger number of people to save the four captured .
They would need to make flawless preparations before doing what they want .
However in that case, they probably won’t be able to save those four girls .
Orcs often leave women alive as they’re raping, though they pound their victims ceaselessly and without regard for their health . Once they run out of energy, the orcs will probably eat their meat .
I remember Felteris who acted arrogantly towards me .
It’s hard to believe a woman like her will become a meal for the orcs .
「If I may?」
I speak out as the three of them argue .
Yularen seems to be slightly troubled .
「Human guest, you have my thanks for saving these two girls and defeating their pursuers . However this is the village’s problem so you do not need to interfere……」
I interrupt Yularen .
「We’ll go and save them . We don’t need back up . 」
The light of hope returns to the eyes of Pila and Khru while Yularen’s eyes widen in shock .
「What did you just say?」
「We will set out and save the four captured girls . As for the orcs, we’ll take them down if they get in our way . 」
「There is absolutely nothing for you to gain from this . Why would you expose yourselves to danger for our sake without any form of compensation?」
We were originally going to kill the orcs so we could buy a potion made by Natia .
Besides, I wouldn’t say there is no benefit .
Elves are a little thin, but they’re all beautiful .
If we save them from the dirty orcs, I’m sure they’ll come to like us more .
「As a reward…… let’s see . Natia will make the potion, which we will buy from her and also……」
I smile at Yularen’s skeptical look .
「Get permission to seduce the girls we saved . 」
The eyes of the village chief, who has the appearance of a woman in their 40’s, widens some more .
「Can you give me a few spears? They’re too thin so tie them up in bundles of two or three, I’ll use them like javelins . 」
The elf girl’s jaw drops when I make my request, maybe it’s the first time she’s ever seen a human .
When I poke the forehead of the unresponsive girl, she quickly runs off .
「Um, please let us come with you too . 」
「We can’t just act all carefree and stay in the village while our companions are being tormented . 」
The two girls hurry to finish their battle preparations and cling to my back .
Fumu…… I commend them for feeling that way .
「Try spreading your legs and standing up . 」
「Ow . 」「Au!」
The pain from being sexually assaulted still remains on their bodies so opening up their legs slightly causes them to wince .
I can’t take people like that to battle .
「Uuu, how mortifying . 」
「Please save all of them . Especially Felteris-sama, she resisted until the end so they surely must have treated her the worst . 」
She did seem like a strong-willed girl .
I hope she didn’t do too much to provoke them into killing her .
「She must be balling up her hands into fists as the orcs put their dirty things into her mouth, genitals, and even her asshole……」
「She was screaming things like ”Kuh! If you’re going to continue humiliating me like this, it would be better if you killed me now!” or “I won’t ever give in to the penis of an orc!”」
「Is that so…… then we better save her soon . 」
And then I hope she’ll become mine .
I strap the spears brought to me in a hurry by that little girl to my back, look to Irijina and the others and nod .
Preparations are complete, now let’s head out .
The seven of us, including me, head directly towards the orc’s nest .
It goes without saying that the forest beyond the elf village is dense so we couldn’t use our horses and had to leave them in the village .
Schwartz seemed to be a little unhappy though it can’t be helped .
I thought we would need a guide to the nest, but since the place was very familiar to Natia and the others, only a verbal explanation was enough for her to know the general location .
「Fufufu, I brought a lot with me this time so I can be useful . 」
The arrows on Natia’s back are wrapped in cloth dyed with a malicious color .
It looks like she soaked them with plenty of that poison .
「Try not to misfire those things . 」
I don’t want to get hit by one of those things and die by having blood squirt out of my face .
「Don’t underestimate my skill . I’m better than Felteris at using the bow . 」
That’s good .
The subjugation squad searched for the nest while staying vigilant for any orcs while we already have an idea of where the nest is located ahead of time and are making a beeline for it .
We’re prepared to force our way through even if we get noticed by the orcs midway to the nest so we don’t care about making sounds as we go forward .
In any case, Mack, Irijina and I aren’t suited for covert operations .
It would have been impossible for us to sneak up on them .
The keen Celia or Pipi aren’t here either .
「There is an orc in front . 」
By the time Kroll spoke up, everyone had already confirmed the enemy’s presence .
The orc was already raising its club .
But it didn’t swing down the thick tree trunk .
An arrow shoots into its throat and a dark liquid flows into the veins of the orc, transmitting the poison throughout the entire body . The orc’s blood vessels seem to bulge out and turn purple before the orc coughs up bloody vomit and collapses to the ground .
Not long later, its upper half turns blue and the opening of the wound starts to rot and turn black .
Natia shot the orc with one of her poison arrows .
「You’ve become more villainous than before . 」
「I added another trick to the poison . 」
Natia shows off her arrows to me proudly .
Don’t point them at me, what are you gonna do if you poke me with them .
Look, two of them are coming at us next .
Natia fixes another arrow to her bow string, then shoots it at the second orc, guiding the monster to a tragic death .
The other one closes the distance in the meantime .
This kind of approach would have been a considerable threat to an elf-only squad .
However, we are with Natia right now .
「Seiyaa!」「Hmph!」
Irijina’s spear pierces through the left knee, Mack takes his war hammer and smashes the lower leg .
The orc loses balance from getting its leg crushed and falls to the ground, then continues sliding with the momentum of its own running .
「Good work . 」
I don’t need my sword for this groveling monster .
I lift up my leg wearing a steel boot and stomp on its face .
My foot makes a huge dent in its face and I kick the dead orc away before speaking .
「We don’t have time to spare killing each one individually . We’re running straight there . They must be clumping around the nest too, so Alice can take them all out with one blast . It doesn’t matter if you use up your magic . 」
「Got it…… I’ll test out my new technique . 」
「Kroll and Mack will be with me in the vanguard . Irijina will stay in the middle, Natia will be the rearguard, Christoph will act as the escort . If we get attacked, buy us time even if you have to use your asshole . 」
「「「Oooh!」」」
Christoph replied to confirm he understood my orders .
But is he really fine with what I said?
We charge forward without hiding our presence or the noise we make, eventually alerting the orcs who threaten us with menacing roars .
「Move it, move it!」
I raise my sword to attack the orc which appears in front of me with a downward slash .
The monster sticks out its hand reflexively to block, but that was a feint on my part as I miss to the side and gouge the side of the orc deeply instead .
Its innards spill out from the cut .
That’s definitely a fatal wound .
For the other orc standing in front, I throw my spear at it .
The orc was able to easily deal with the straight-flying spear by swinging the rusted axe in its hands to deflect it, but that’s fine .
The bundle of spears come undone and scatter, the shrapnel flying towards the face of the enemy, causing the orc to close its eyes on reflex .
When the orc opens its eyes again, the scene which comes into its view is upside down .
My Dual Crater has cleanly cut through the orc’s thick neck and lopped its head off .
More attacks come from the left and right .
I twist my body to avoid the attack from the left and extend my sword to pierce the orc on the right from under its jaw, thrusting all the way through to the back of its head and killing it .
I leave my sword stuck in the orc’s body and turn around barehanded to catch the club of the attacking orc before grabbing the weapon and throwing the monster over my shoulder .
As the fallen orc tries to get up, I kick its face to make it faint in agony, pull the Dual Crater out of its corpse and then stab the anguishing enemy in the face .
「That makes four . There are 50 of them total, right?」
Taking advantage of the opening, another enemy approaches from behind, in which I slice the incoming club in half with my sword, then turn around to slice off both arms of the orc at the elbows .
I quickly follow up with a kick to the stomach to send it rolling behind me, then Irijina swings down her spear at the chest, piercing through its heart and finishing it off .
「So that’s four . Five in total, I guess . 」
「Then I got two . Five……no, three . Let’s go with five!!」
