Vorgarag and Ed easily swiftly finished setting up the rest of the cannon. They were currently in front of the settlement gates standing on opposite sides to initiate their spar.
They had asked the guards if there were any clearings but the settlement was too deep into the forest. The clearing that the settlement is in was due to the orcs' efforts to cut down nearby trees.
This settlement also didn't have a practice field. Most of the available space was instead filled with houses.
"Are you ready to start?" Vorgarag shouted from a fair distance away. He not only held a staff but also had an axe handy.
"Of course." Ed confidently replied from the other end. Since he asked for the spar he was naturally ready.
"Alright. Let's go!" Vorgarag yelled and started his incantation. Ed was caught a bit off guard by the sudden start but he was still able to keep up. He dashed forward with great speed.
Now that's a whole hour late. The chapter is also a bit longer though so hopefully that's a sufficient apology.
The freedom union is sending the adventurers earlier than planned under the order of the kingdom, what might they be thinking?
Thankfully, Samuel now has a cool new sword to cut stuff with. How will he fare when faced with Orc Ed? My goal was to answer this question at chapter 100 at the latest. That's looking a bit rushed now that we are this far though.
