Bab 37: Creating Defences!
Our battle went on for a whole day and finally we cleaned up the destructor mess but...This wasn't over, that other destructor army is on it's way. We all move inside leaving two Orcs to keep an eye out for the destructor army that's arriving. "I thank you human for helping us." Yima says to me as we sit in a circle near a bonfire with Orcs. "Don't thank me yet, this battle isn't over just yet. That army...It's much stronger then the previous one. I am pretty sure, the first one was sent here just to measure our strength. The second one is the real deal here." I say. "I see..." Yima looks at the ground disappointed. "Hooman, drink booze!" Jamal who sits to my left says. "Oh no, I am underage, I can't drink just yet." I say to him. Not especially when there is a whole army coming towards us.
"Human, do you think...We will be able to defeat that army?" Yima asks me. Her body seems to be shaking and she is sweating. I sigh. "No, not with the army with have..." I say. She seems disappointed with my answer. But I speak the truth, there is no way that some injured Orcs can defeat this army unless...The one with the power Ogre steps into the battle...Wait a minute, something clicks my head. If Kim was only measuring our power, she would have sent in a small army, like in 100's but that army was about 1000 people just about the people I can sense right now heading towards us...What if... "Your thinking the same thing as I am kid?" Jian who is sitting behind me near another bonfire asks me. "Kim is here for the Ogre..." I whisper. "I know..." Jian says. "But why?" I say.
"I remember something very interesting that happened with the elves few months ago." Jian says. "What?" I ask. "This news wasn't leak anywhere other then between the 7 councillors and a few trusty one's as one of the seven councillor is an elf...She did present a very interesting fact." Jian says. "What would that fact be?" I ask. "The Elves...They lost their secret weapon after the battle for Balora." Jian says. "You don't say." I say. "The Elves secret weapon was to control nature, she could control all kind of animals, trees and even spirits that were related to nature but...In the battle for Balora, her heart...It was completely ripped off. She was killed off completely. It is said that her heart still beats somewhere but I am not sure how the Elves know about this." Jian says. "Are you trying to imply that they are going after every race's secret weapon?" I ask. "Maybe or maybe it's just a coincidence, who knows." Jian says. "But if they are really going after the Ogres, this battle...It's going to be a real tough one to handle." Jian continues. I smile. "Leave that to me." I say. "What do you plan kid?" Jian asks as Bruno begins to blend in with the Orcs. Getting drunk and celebrating with them. I sigh. "I will have to plan something overnight." I say. "I understand, I will try to help you in anyways I can." Jian says. I nod.
"Yima! Can you get me access to the watchtower?" I ask Yima. "I can, why do you ask?" Yima questions. "I need to checkout something." I say. Yima takes me to the watchtower. I look down at the ground thinking about how I could set up traps. Obviously, if I set up magic traps, then they will sense it and it will be easy to avoid them and if I set them underground and if someone has some kind of sensing magic they will be able to sense that too. Then...The only thing I can do is...I smile. "What's the matter, human?" Yima asks. I look at Yima. "Don't let anyone else know about this, keep it between you, me and Jian. We are about to do some overnight duty." I say. "Overnight...Duty...?" She is confused. "Time to create some defences." I say. "What do you have planned, human?" The Orc asks me. "I have a way to win this battle but it all depends on you playing the big role, understood Yima?" I ask. Yima's face which was sad and disappointed suddenly brightens with hope and motivation. "I understand and I will help you in anyways possible, human..." Yima says. "Then time to set our traps." I say. "Let everyone sleep first though." I continue. Yima nods.
4 hours later,
Everyone's asleep, Jian, Yima and I, we begin setting traps for the battle tomorrow. The army will be here by tomorrow for sure. We have to be ready at any cost. "Hey Yima!" I call out for her. "Hmm?" She looks at me as she digs a grave. "How can you speak our language so fluently?" I ask. "Oh, that's because 14 years ago, a human taught me your language." Yima says. "That human was a kindhearted human, not only that she taught me to fight too. To handle swords and to fight with my fists." Yima smiles. "I will never forget her kindness...To be honest, if not for her, I would have been dead." She says. "You don't say..." Why do I feel like I know the human she is talking about... "Well, she did save our kingdom once...I can only hope that you humans can do what she did and save our village. But I doubt it's possible..." Yima says. I sigh. "Nothing is impossible." I say. "Huh?" Yima looks confused. "The only reason you think it's impossible is because you do not believe in yourself. Doesn't matter what happens, believe in yourself and if that's not possible, at least have faith in the person you have entrusted your life with." I say. I look straight into Yima's eyes. "No matter what happens, I will not let your kingdom Yima! That is my promise..." That is correct...That's what mom would have done if she was here. No matter what happened...I will protect the Orcs. "Now, now, if you guys are done chit-chatting, I need help here." Jian says. "On my way!"
6 hours later,
The dawn is here, every Orc is getting ready for the battle, I, Yima and Jian stand right in front of the gate waiting for the destructors army to arrive. I stand waiting for you Kim, it's time...Time for the real battle to begin.
