Chapter 83: 79: Battle of Felridge hold pt 2

Bhok Bone Carver POV

I never liked even odds. Playing fair was for idiots. I placed my boys in strategic positions, each with a different weapon, and waited. I wouldn't take part myself, after all I am more of an order giver and as the son of the chief, who dares question my orders.

"I'll get as much achievements and honor from those Dregu slaves" I couldn't help whispering in excitement.

When that little puta Omub makes his way back from his supply at the battlefront, alone and armed with a few men, we'd attack in force. Nothing fatal, but painful none the less.

"His head would fetch me enough achievements over my brothers, Bhok, killer of the great Omub the Gruesome...kikiki"

"Little chief, there are some figures ahead" the lizard folk slave whispers to my ears and I couldn't hold excitement, 'kikikiki Ulam did not lie!'.

"Kill them" I ordered.

Largash POV,

Felridge Hold Periphery,

Old Igurg territory(vassal of Dregu),

Under the chill of the mist that spreads over this somewhat medium length grass field, Gilgar fumbles with her boom rock container before searching around her never ending pockets.

'I still ask till why she has so many pockets on her battle skirt in the first place when you easily forget where you put stuff.' I grumbled inwardly before thinking of the scene earlier today, 'Ah I suddenly feel like finding a hole to bury myself.'

We've been on the move for the most of the morning and the present hour make it the fifteenth, luckily I think we're close to the Shammob tribe. It didn't take long to spot the fallen settlement of Igurg, this was the 'landmark' the chief talked about and the closest place to the battlefront of the 'big two'.

"Big two" I mutter while lost in thought, "He's always had a way with words, and it's not surprising that this one sounds strange, much better than the other one...what was it again?".

"What are you mumbling about?" Gilgar asked with raised brows as her pale blue eyes stare into mine, but she's soon distracted again by what she was searching for...

"We are here" I said as I watched this sister of mine, deep her hands into the black furred material used in making our tops. It was made to wrap around our c.h.e.s.ts and was strapped rather tightly, funny enough it was comfortable and convenient as it didn't bother with ones fighting.

It also provides just about enough defense for the Black moon women, according to Papa, the design came from the chief and was said to be the easiest to make for the goblin serfs, I wonder what animal's fur was used.

"Aha!"Gilgar's excited voice broke me off from my inner ramblings, "found it".

"Sssh! found what?" I asked.

"I don't know what it's called but Elder Dabok says, when we get here and make camp, I should spread it around the camp." She explains as she rolls six small rocks in her palm and grins widely till her small tusks were out sunbathing.

"hmm...well get on with it?"

"huh? we are staying here now? won't we look at the battlefront first, not even once?" She asks but then starts to w.h.i.n.e at the end.

With a helpless groan, I was about to agree but...the unthinkable happened, It seems like we had been the ones to walk into an ambush instead.

Without waiting any orders we all fell down in the midst of the grass and began to crawls towards each other while trying to find the enemy but... Nothing.

The mist wasn't helping but I'm sure the enemy wasn't having it easy either, So I get up on my knees and peer into the swirling white, tinged with the muddy green of the field. A violent noise cracks into the startled air, accompanied by startled voices and I don't need to look to know what happened. Gilgar had tossed out a boom rock and it hit so hard, that it was fatal.

Too bad we weren't out of danger... I can't use my flame magic here as it would only draw the enemies attention. 'wait! draw their attention?!!'.

In that moment the quiet had become like icy drips onto already cold mist. we all stopped, ears straining. I turned around sharply, eyes taking in every detail, seeing things I'd never had the chance to notice before. There were so many places the enemy could hide within this abandoned village.

Luckily we were close to each other and the enemy didn't seem to own any ranged weapon, so I explained my thoughts to my sister but...

"No, too dangerous!!I won't allow it" She somehow whispered a scream as I felt like she was shouting at me.

"Gilgar, that the only way to get them out of cover..." I tried to reason with her but she remained there with a frown etched to her face like it was meant to be that way, if I didn't know her all my life, I could have sworn that was her default expression.

But this won't do, so I went for another approach...

"you!...what did you promise me, a few hours ago" I queried and she visibly flinched before trying to ignore me again but, without waiting for her response, I dashed in a different direction. 'we have to know their numbers' I thought as I unsheathed my short sword before imbuing it with magic, which covered it completely in flames.

"There!!!" a low roar came from behind the wall on my right and an orc with a Warhammer stepped out with a slow sprint towards me.

Ignoring it, I continued running.

"what are you all doing? get it!!!get me that sword!!" the same voice rang out again, only this time it seemed rushed for some reason. The enemy numbers began to increase as I made my way through the mist.

Booom!!!

Boom!!

'Luckily sister didn't disappoint...' I couldn't help smiling as I continued to run.

More screamed in pain clutching their grievous wounds as the boom rocks flew like death's arrows into the small army.

The mist remained unchanged with high defiance in the face of such ferocious bombardment.

a giant creature of close to 4 and a half meters lumbered around slowly at a snail pace while wailing loudly. "Fire!" Gilgar ordered loudly as the boom rocks unleashed waves of death destroying walls and burning orcs alike.

The mist swayed around us gently as it continued unaffected at such chaos.

all of a sudden, swoo!! swoo!! swoo!! could be heard as I took cover,

"Arrows!!!"I yelled while dodging an arrow that flew towards me, "ugh I can barely see a thing, how do you even shoot arrows in such conditions."

both sides fired furiously at each other, trying to gain the advantage. the enemy screamed until they couldn't, until they rested into nothingness.

It was from my hiding place, I finally saw their numbers...

They were about a hundred like us, no wonder the battle was intense and they have ranged weapons in the end...

'best return to Gilgar' was what I thought as I retraced my steps to where the boom rocks were coming from. As I made my way through the mist, I hear footsteps and quickly pulled out my sword to stab the approaching figure.

"Wait wait waaaaait!!" Gilgar's voice came from the other side, accompanied by a few Hobgoblins.

"What are you doing?...I told you to wait" I asked, feeling happy and irritated at the same time.

"Hehehe, got worried...plus we are running out of Boom rocks"

"..."

"..."

This wasn't good, I need to think of something...

"Hey, remember how the chief always go for the leaders in battle and father asked" Gilgar says slowly but we finished the sentence together, ""And He said that's the easiest way to win any battle""

"If it doesn't work, then there's someone even more important than the one we caught" I finished the chief's words while lost in thought but Gilgar's mischievous laughter came again, "hehehe...want to play a game?"

Meanwhile the battle was still on...
