Chapter 74: Attack On Orc Lord

The orc lord walked forward with the same slow, deliberate pace, his massive feet pressing into the earth like a conqueror marching toward his throne.

Each step sent tremors through the ground, his aura suffocating the air around us.

We could only watch in helpless silence as he approached the city's gate, his presence alone a reminder of how insignificant we were.

Then, out of nowhere, a gunshot.

A single bullet cut through the air, heading straight for the orc lord's head.

For the first time, the creature paused.

I turned toward the shooter, my heart slamming against my ribs.

Mira.

She stood atop the barricade, gun raised, her fiery red hair whipping in the wind.

Her stance was unshaken, her glare locked onto the orc lord with defiance.

"You think you can just waltz in here like a damn king?" she yelled, her voice sharp with fury. "I don't care how strong you are, you're not getting past me!"
