"Let me go you damn beast!!...Ack!!! by the Gods" The bloodied man screamed as he was being pulled by Alpha.
Thud Thud Thud...
Heavy Footsteps could be heard approaching him slowly. Alex looked at this man with curious eyes, 'how did a human get this far out?' this were his thoughts as he lifted the human up till their eyes met.
Alex scrutinized this fellow and felt he was rather pitiful but he couldn't be bothered with that. The human long noticed Alex and felt himself being lifted up, He decided to stay still, perhaps he would live through this ordeal.
"Are you seriously playing Dead?" Alex couldn't help asking with a sneer. and Urim's racous laughter could be heard from behind.
The human visibly flinched at the question but remained silent, Alex found it funny and chose to drop the human, due to Alex's height, the fall felt rather hard, leading the man into a coughing fit.
"Sc.u.m!!" Clovea's voice came from behind, it was laced with venom and hatred. For a minute Alex thought she was referring to him as his whole countenance changed, but when he turned around, he found that she was actually looking at the Human!.
So Alex remained silent as the Dryad approached the human with gritted teeth, He was curious about what she would do. Talons grew out in place of her nails as she stabbed the Man's t.h.i.g.hs and dragged it down.
AAAARGH!!!!
A horrible Shriek could be heard across the surrounding, as he squirmed like salted worm, Unfortunately, he couldn't leave the spot he laid because Alpha was pressing him down with a paw.
This confirmed Alex's guess about the Ghost wolves hating Humans. Clovea finally came to her senses as she turned a bit pale while whipping her head in Alex's direction, According to Orc rules, her actions could be interpreted as a challenge in some cases, so Alex could understand where her fear was coming from. Honestly, the more Alex learnt about Orc lands rules from Dabok, the more he understood that Orcs were simple, yet complicated at the same time, just that most things boils down to violence.
Alex sighed in his heart as he gave her a light glare. He then asked the Human a question as he looked at the Man's details provided by the system.

"What is your name, human?" Alex asked while going through the Man's details as he tried to recollect his thoughts. 'I don't know any house known as Sankreed, Perhaps it fell at the earliest part of the book?'.
"M...ma...ma..Markukuku...MARK!" He was barely able to state his name with all the pain he was feeling.
'With this amount of bleeding, a human on Earth would already be dead...how mystical, I wonder' Alex looked the man in the eyes for a second and flashed a grin, Mark wasn't in the right state of mind to even notice that.
'No, there are too many variables... plus it's still about 5 hours before the purple moon comes to an end, and things would only get tougher during this period.' Alex removed any thoughts on using Mark.
"What are you doing this far out in the Orc lands?." He asked but Mark remained silent.
"He belongs to a sick group known as the Black purse, They mostly deal with smuggling and slave trade. Sker had been working with them for weapons, They would kidnap our people and deliver them to this Bastard!!!and..." Clovea turned out to be the one who answered his question and Alex finally understood what brought the Dryads here and why Sker was injured.
Alex understood the whole gist of things as he had performed similar trades in his last life, "You speak human?".
The reason he asked this was so He could know if the system made him answer with the same language he was addressed with or it just made people hear different languages at the same time.
"Yes" She said.
Alex simply nodded after hearing her words,
'So it's the former'.
He looked at the now awakened Dryads as they silently walked behind Clovea, visibly ashamed by their Loss, He then looked at Clovea saying, "I see, you are here for your people... You can go into the village, take them and leave immediately, I have no use for them."
She seemed like she wanted to say something but finally restrained herself, She nodded in thanks and ran into the village.

Alex turned to look at Mark and found that he seemed to be Hallucinating as his eyes lost focus. This made Alex narrow his eyes at the man, 'could it be that Alpha has venom or could it be because of the Dryad?...guess I'll find out later.'
"Mark... What's the situation like in your lands?" Alex spoke in wonder, He knows about the 'Black purse', It's the Underground power that was created by the Nispurlian second prince to expand his funds and influence but he didn't know they had their reach within the 'Orc lands' and Perhaps it had gotten to the 'winter slate'.
"...." Mark seemed to far gone, Alex signaled Alpha to continue what he wanted to do.
Crunch!
grrrrrrrrrrr!!
Didn't take long for the other idle wolves to rush in for a piece, they struggled in between barks and bites as Alex watched silently. Soon Clovea was seen leading a group of people out of the village with a dead body on the Bear kid's shoulder.
He watched them move North East, but it was possible they went in that direction to confuse him. A minute later, He called an Orc Rider and had him trail them in stealth with his wolf.
Torrelsav approached Alex while eyeing Mark get devoured, the other Blackmoon Orcs were laughing excitedly at the wolves Antics.
"My Chief, The village has a total of 124 members, the ones that can still fight are left with only 48 Orcs" after giving his report, He waited for Alex's response. Alex didn't seem to have any emotion about this number, He only watched the wolves mess around after their meal for a minute before turning to Torrelsav saying,
"Good... Should be enough to take care of the 200 goblin warriors don't you think?". To answer him, the Latter only grinned with excitement in his eyes, Urim's Laughter came from behind and Nazu's golden irises watched Alex from a distance.
""""Hahahahaha!!!""" The other Blackmoon Orcs joined the laughter without even knowing why they were laughing.
'Goblins breed fast, so this tribe would just have to act as a grinding spot for me and my warriors. it will also be used to send a warning before anyone gets any funny ideas about attacking me for any reason at all.'
"Have the strongest Sker tribesman watch this place till we return, let's go Hunting...Phewie!!" Alex ordered before calling Alpha over with a whistle.
Several whistles rang out as the other Riders mounted their wolves, the newly annexed Orcs would follow them on foot, Alex plans to use this chance to establish prestige within their minds. There was clear excitement within the Blackmoon people, everyone wanted to prove themselves at this point.
"My Chief, Don't you think someone could snatch this people?" Torrelsav expressed his worry.
Alex answered with a malicious grin on his face, "oh I hope they do, that way I'll have a reason to take their own too".
