The anticipation of claiming their prize and conquering the city of Saku, Nagano in Japan had fueled their march for weeks. Before setting off to the capital city of Tokyo. The orcish horde, with their fierce determination, numbered one million strong, ready to unleash chaos upon the humans.
But just as Burzum was preparing to give the final command to attack, a messenger approached him. "Great Chief Burzum," the messenger panted, "word has arrived that the emperor seeks asylum in the mountains of Shiroyama, the western frontline."
Burzum's blood boiled with excitement at the thought of capturing the emperor. He knew it would solidify his place as Supreme Ruler and bring great honor to the orcish race. "Ready the troops!" he bellowed to his advisors. "We march for Shiroyama in five days!"
The messenger nodded and left quickly to mobilize the army in haste, time is running out.
Days turned into nights, and as the sun rose on the fifth day, the orcish horde reached their destination. Eager for victory, Burzum ordered the first wave to charge towards the mountain with a fierce battle cry.
However, as they approached, the first line of defense was destroyed by the might of their power.

Their tactical brilliance, coupled with well-timed reinforcements, halted the orcish onslaught.
Enraged by the unfolding events, a small rebellion of orcs led by Garok, who had grown weary of Burzum's tyrannical rule, decided to join forces with the humans. The unexpected alliance proved to be a turning point in the battle. Garok brought with him his knowledge of orcish tactics, giving the humans a newfound advantage. Together, they fought side by side, pushing the orcish horde back.
Just when Burzum thought things couldn't get worse, a figure emerged from a hidden cave, wielding a holy katana. It was none other than John, the legendary warrior who had been mysteriously absent from the battle until now. With astonishing speed and precision, he cut down countless orcish soldiers, creating a wave of panic and confusion amongst their ranks.

As the orcish horde retreated, Burzum contemplated the events that had unfolded. He knew that tomorrow would bring new challenges, but also new opportunities. Adjusting his plans, he resolved to gather his advisors and strategize a new course of action. The humans and orcish rebels had proven their strength, but Burzum's determination to claim the emperor and conquer Japan remained unyielding.
With a renewed focus and a burning desire for victory, Orc Burzum prepared to face the mounting obstacles that lay ahead. Little did he know, his journey was far from over, and the city of Saku would become the battleground in a clash that would change the fate of both humans and orcs forever.
As Burzum witnessed the retreat of his own people, he couldn't help but feel a mixture of anger and admiration for Garok's audacity. He knew that tomorrow would bring a new battle, more treachery, and more bloodshed. The war for Shiroyama was far from over, and Burzum was determined to emerge victorious, no matter the cost.
(After the first battle)
John, Sora, Vincent, and their remaining soldiers stood atop the blood-soaked hill known as Shiroyama, their faces etched with both relief and sorrow. The battle had been fierce, but they had managed to hold their ground against a relentless enemy force. With help from the orcish rebels, led by the determined Garok, stood beside them, battered but grateful to have survived the first day.
And also, the reinforcements led by General Kingston with his unit around 55,000 soldiers.
As the sun began to set, casting a melancholy glow over the battlefield, John found himself reflecting on the sacrifices made by their fallen comrades. Their faces flashed before his eyes: brave warriors who had fought with unwavering courage until their last breath.
"We may have won the day, but it came at a terrible cost," John muttered, his voice heavy with mourning.
Garok placed a hand on John's shoulder, his voice filled with both sadness and gratitude. "Our fallen comrades will be remembered, John. It is their sacrifice that has enabled us to endure. We fight on in their honor."
Vincent, his wounds bandaged, stepped forward, his gaze scanning the field of fallen soldiers. "Indeed. We must honor their memories by defeating our enemies and bringing peace to this land. But we cannot do it alone."
However, the figure in the distance was walking towards them, yet he was with 10 people, as they were closer and revealed to be General Kingston and his 10 bodyguards.
General Kingston walked towards to John, his eyes filled with a mix of admiration and concern. "John, you and your soldiers fought valiantly today. We heard of your plight and rushed to offer our support."
John nodded gratefully, his faith in their cause bolstered by the arrival of such esteemed reinforcements. "Thank you, General. Your timing is much appreciated. Together, we shall prevail. To send a message to our enemies, that no one will never break the humanity and our allies so easily."
But the surprises did not end there.
As the night deepened, after they are cleaning up the dead, tending the wounded, rebuild and build some fortifications for the second day of the battle, When John, Vincent, Sora and Garok were discussing the battle plan on how to stop the orcish advance.
Suddenly, a group of shadowy figures emerged from the darkness, gradually revealing themselves to be members of a guild known as Stealthed Suicide. Around 18,000 well-trained soldiers, led by a man named Cathan Tobin, joined their ranks. Their skill in stealth and surprise attacks would be invaluable in the battles to come.
Sora, his eyes widening in astonishment, stepped forward to greet their unexpected allies. "Who are you?"
Cathan Tobin smiled, his voice calm yet determined. "We are the guild called Stealthed Suicide. We have heard of your struggle and shared mission. We offer our assistance in this fight for freedom, for we understand the value of unity against a common enemy. And my name is Cathan Tobin, at your service."
The others release a sigh of relief, they thought it was another orcs assassin that Burzum sent to finish them off in the middle of the night, yet they were greeted by the unexpected allies they needed the most.
John stepped forward and thanked Cathan to answer the call, with renewed hope swelling within them, the merged army prepared to face the challenges ahead. John, Sora, Vincent, Garok, General Kingston, and Cathan Tobin formed a council, strategizing their next moves under the starlit sky.
The battle for Shiroyama had taken a heavy toll, but the arrival of reinforcements and unexpected allies had lifted their spirits. They mourned for their fallen comrades, but vowed to honor their memories through victory.
On that night, under the moon's watchful gaze, an alliance was forged. Together, they would march forward, side by side, to bring peace and justice to the war-torn land.
In the middle of the night, John, Sora, Vincent, General Kingston, Cathan, and Orc Garok stood in a small circle, their minds focused on one thing - defeating Burzum, the ruthless Orc warlord and his army. Surrounded on all sides, hope seemed bleak. But their determination burned brightly, and together they designed a cunning plan to turn the tide of battle.
Once they ended one by one leaving John alone and his mind wandered to the sacred katana he had recently acquired. It was a legendary weapon, rumored to possess divine powers that could change the course of any conflict. John had found it deep within the treacherous caves on Shiroyama Mountain, hidden by its previous owner.
John and Vincent sat cross-legged in the depths of the cave, the dim light of their torches casting eerie shadows on the walls. Before them was a magnificent katana, known as 'Ame-no-Habakiri,' forged by the holy deities of ancient Japan.
John had ventured into the treacherous caves to retrieve the legendary weapon, drawn by tales of its immense power. Vincent, his trusted friend and fellow adventurer, had accompanied him on this perilous quest.
As they gazed upon the katana, a strange phenomenon occurred. A translucent window panel materialized in the air before them, displaying a display of information akin to a video game. It revealed the katana's stats, powers, and skills.
"Look at this," Vincent exclaimed, his eyes widening with fascination. "It's like the katana has its own user interface. We can actually see what it's capable of!"
John leaned forward, studying the intricate details displayed on the panel. "Indeed, Vincent. It seems this blade possesses extraordinary abilities. Enhanced strength, lightning-fast strikes, and the power to cut through any material. This katana could be the key to defeating the orcish invasion once and for all."
Vincent nodded, unable to conceal his excitement. "Imagine if we combine your skills as a warrior and the power of this sacred katana. We could be unstoppable!"
As John reached out, his hand trembling with anticipation, he hesitated. "But, Vincent, we must also consider the potential drawbacks. Great power often comes with a great responsibility. We have to weigh the risks."
Vincent furrowed his brow, contemplating John's words. "You're right, my friend. We mustn't be blinded by the allure of power. The orcish invasion threatens the realm, but if we succumb to the temptations of this katana, we might lose ourselves along the way."
John took a deep breath, his determination solidifying. "I understand the risks, Vincent. But we mustn't let fear hinder us. With great power comes the opportunity to do great good. I will wield this katana with responsibility, for the sake of our humanity and the land as well."
Vincent smiled, placing a comforting hand on John's shoulder. "I trust in your judgment, my friend. Let's do what we must protect our people."
A moment of silence, Vincent noticed the longing gaze in John's eyes and shaking his head, he broke the silence, his voice laced with concern. "John, we've been through a lot together, and I trust you completely, but that katana... It's too much power for one person to wield. We must use it wisely."
John nodded, understanding the weight of Vincent's words. The katana held immense power, but its misuse could lead to destruction. "You're right, Vincent. The katana must be treated with reverence. We will only unleash its power as a last resort."
Gathering their courage, John closed his hand around the hilt of Ame-no-Habakiri. A surge of energy coursed through his body, as if the katana itself acknowledged his worthiness.
With newfound strength and determination, John and Vincent left the cave, ready to face the orcish invasion. As they emerged into the outside world, a gust of wind swirled around them, lending an air of mystical anticipation to their quest.
They hoped that the battle will end it in the short time, however, they knew that it will be longer than they never expected
