8. Destruction of the Orcs

As David slept early he also woke up early. Asked the half awake inn owner to make him some food, quickly ate it and started running towards the goblin settlement that for some reason had also a lot of Orcs. As he kept running he came face to face with a few groups of orcs and goblins but they were pretty easy to clear, David was starting to wonder why none of the monsters he had faced never used any skills when he reached the goblin city.

Unlike yesterday, David was trying to kill everything rapidly today so he would just throw rocks or other things at some of the weaker goblins so the orcs and goblins would come out to find what the was wrong, also David felt like something big was going ti happen as the goblins were overworked even more than before and all the orcs were donning some armor, still he kept killing the monsters left and right, the more he pulled the bigger the commotion became and after an hour a full group of 70 orcs and somewhere about 400 goblins came out of the settlement.

These monsters were moving towards the road he had come from. David realized that his guerilla tactics would work really well with this group as he could just kill one orc and sidestep away before anyone could see and the orcs would blame the goblins attack them the goblins would respond. After making this plan. He went ahead of the army and waited on one of the bushes where there was a sharp turn.

The group arrived and the orcs were as close as a meter and a half to David, if this was a human being or any other creature that had as much sentience as humans they would have found out where David was hiding but they didn't maybe this was because of his passive sneak skill that he got yesterday or because the orcs were stupid. As he was thinking all this to pass time, the end of the orcs group and the start of the goblins group became visible to him. He waited for the perfect time and punched the one orc that came closer than the rest of them. As his punch landed on the orcs head no one had realized something was wrong yet and David whooshed out of there with side step.

As the orc went down a commotion started spreading. Orcs stopped and started shouting and screaming at the goblins while the goblins were acting all timid and scared. After what seemed to be the head of the Orcs in the settlement arrived. He looked at the dead orc and started shouting towards the other orcs. David didn't understand their language but if he did, he would hear something like, these little shitty goblins have dared to attack and kill one of us, show them hell.

After hearing this the same goblins that were acting all timid and scared now realized there was no going back so they also became hostile. After a minute or two one of the orcs did the first move and splattered one of the goblins that was provocative to everywhere and instead of getting scared the goblins became even more angry and started attacking the orcs altogether. If David tried to fight against the full horde he would definitely die 100 times out of 100 tries. Just as he was watching the fight keep on something that he thought was impossible happened, the orc that was probably the leader for the settlement started casting skills, to be more precise David saw the monster cast the skill and then the battle started to shift even more towards orcs.

David realized that this orc had casted an area buff spell. He also realized that if this went on he would have to face 20-30 orcs at once so he jumped into action, the leader orc was staying behind and just using buffs as much as he could, he didn't have a mace or a broken sword like the other orcs, it had a long wooden staff, the staff din't really have any magical capabilities but since the system accepted the weapon as magic type, everything would be a small percentage more powerful when casted with the staff.

David knew what he had to do to get rid of these orcs. Kill their leader. He started sneaking to the back side of the orcs and then started creeping on the leader orc when the leader orc snorted a few times and turned around,

"Oh fuck come on you didn't smell me out while you were coming the other way but now you do come on thats bullshit."(David)

As he said this the orc was also making strange noises that took the attention of some of the orcs to David rather than the goblin fight. David kept on going forward, he knew that at most the monsters would require 2 attacks to kill which was pretty easy to achieve if you weren't cornered or surrounded.

David ran forward and he would throw a left and a right punch to every orc that came near him. Every once in a while one or two attacks would land but his passive regeneration was healing him for 100 hp every minute as long as he did not die or lose limbs everything was fine. David went on a killing spree trying to get to the orc leader, thankfully the orcs weren't expecting him otherwise it would be pretty bad, he would probably get caught in between them and get killed.

As he killed and killed he spent all his stat points from the level ups he was getting and things got easier and easier as time passed by and after he killed 13 orcs on the way to the boss of the orcs, finally it was time to face the boss, he didn't know if this boss had any attack skills or only buff skills so he kept his sidestep ready and rushed in.

He threw a punch which was blocked by the wand of the orc, he threw another and another, however it seemed that no matter where he struck from, the orc was able to find a way to parry him. After trying for a few minutes David realized that he needed to fight more flexibly, he realized that he was basically conducting text book punches only. This was why the orc who was slower than him was able to block or parry his strikes. A minute or two went by and David was trying out new attacks from stranger angles and the difference was clear. David was able to land a strike just about 30 seconds after he switched to being more flexible with his attacks. One more attack landed on the orc and the orc went down.

After resting for a few minutes David decided to go to the goblin city to wipe out the whole city, there was not much left anyways, however a few goblins had ran away after all the orcs were killed and david was still facing the boss orc. Thankfully all the goblins had ran away towards the city.

David started running towards the city in the hopes that he could get there quickly enough so that there was no plan made against him. He got to the settlement and realized that he had already killed 90% of all the monsters in here with both yesterdays and todays work. He went in the city to quickly wipe out the rest of the city, it took about an hour and after taking down everyone he could see he burned the whole city to the grounds.

He started looking for a Orc settlement this time hoping that this was the only goblin-orc settlement. There was only two roads leading into burnt down city, the one he came from and the one that came from exactly the other way around. He started walking through the other road, he didn't see any monsters or anything. He kept going nonetheless and after a full hour he finally saw a settlement. He realized this was not a orc settlement only, there was also goblins. The ratio was more on the orcs side this time and David realized he couldn't do the same thing he did since the goblins were only used as miners or other sorts of workers and they had all sorts of bindings and other shit on them.

David waited for the night, while gathering some herbs, to come since he wanted to try something out. The herbs he collected were herbs that were known to be toxic or poisonous to orcs, most of them were poisonous to goblins and humans too, but today it would be used mostly on goblins. As darkness of the night fall, sneaking became really easy, the only problem was his smell which could be solved with a roll in the mud. After rolling in the mud and letting the mud dry, David sneaked into the city. And started poisoning the water barrels and the wells they had. He went back out and surprisingly didn't get caught.

He waited outside for the morning and then he heard a few level up noises which made him realize that even if you aren't directly attacking to kill you could still get exp. David took a look into the city and saw that more than half of the orcs and goblins were already dead and he had also reached level 50, he left his occupation gain to another time since it would take him into a dungeon. He sneakily went back in the city and started killing the orcs that were still awake or knocked out but not dead. After about two hours, the city was mostly cleared, there were some orcs that gave him a bit of a problem as all the orcs here could use skills and sometimes he had to face four or even five of them at once. He beat them and went back ti sneaking nonetheless.

When David thought that all the orcs and goblins were dead, he heard a scream that was scary as fuck, none of the other orcs had been able to make such a noise. David turned to the general area of where the noise came from, and saw that there was an orc wearing full plate armor, wielding an axe. David felt scared for the first time he had started to fight with the orcs. All the other orcs were dead and only this behemoth of an orc was alive screaming and shouting. It seemed to David that this beast was bot aware of his presence though. So David started watching from far away. The orc ran back and forth looking for the being responsible for the death of its kin.

After about a full hour of running around looking the beast gave up, the beast realized something killed his kin but it failed to realize that some of them were also poisoned as David had cut all the orcs necks deeply so he could be sure that they were all killed. It took water from one of the barrels and started drinking as it was perched from running around for a whole hour under the sun in full plate armor.

As the beast drank a lot of water, the effects started showing pretty quickly. After about ten minutes the orc was feeling pretty groggy, he would bump into things lose his balance. David knew the poison probably won't be able to kill this thing so he started sneaking towards the orc. The orc somehow managed to realize that David was coming towards it, turned around and started charging toward David, the orc was using the charge skill but it wasn't charging in the exact direction of David, it was charging more to the left of him. As the orc passed by david connected a punch to its head which was strangely enough to knock out the orc. David took off the orcs helmet and started punching his head until he was sure the orc was dead

For the next twelve hours David kept looking for other settlements but it turned out the boss that Benjamin said was the full plated orc. David felt that it was an anticlimactic ending to his quest as he had killed the Orc by basically poisoning it. He went back to the village.
