บท 163: Orc

"Now you will see how to deal with an Orc," Reinhart said. "Watch and learn, for this could be the difference between life and death on the battlefield."

With a nod, Reinhart gave a command to the guards at the edge of the arena. They responded immediately, pulling the levers that controlled the chains holding the orc. With the sound of creaking metal, the chains fell away, releasing the creature. 

At the same time, the heavy doors of the arena began to close, blocking any escape route.

Sensing his newfound freedom, the orc slowly rose to his feet, stretching his limbs like an animal just released from a cage. His fierce eyes scanned the arena and he let out another roar, louder and more intimidating than the first.

Reinhart remained calm and continued his explanations.

"Orcs are creatures of brute force. They are fierce and have an adaptability that many underestimate. Never underestimate an Orc," he said in a calm tone that all could hear present.
