Inside the halls of the castle.
"How is the situation?"
"…It's not good."
An orc replied with a somber expression.
"Were you able to get a clear idea of how many enemies there are present?l
"The numbers appear too large for us to count."
"Okay."
Silug replied in a serious tone.
The halls quieted down after his words.
"Didn't you say that the demons would come at us in about a year's time? Why did they suddenly attack now? I've still not recovered my strength."
Omgolung asked from the side. Out of all the orcs present, he was the only one that Silug treated as an equal and wasn't afraid of voicing his concerns.
"Do you have any plans for how we should handle the situation?"
"I have a rough plan."
Silug replied in an apathetic tone.
He then got out of his chair. His body started to take on a green color, and a dreadful pressure started to radiate from him.
Sweeping his eyes over the orcs that were present in the room, he ordered.
"Call for the shaman to come to my room. In the meantime, everyone is to prepare for battle as we've practiced in the past."
"Yes!"
The orcs replied in unison by thumping their chests once. They left after that, leaving Omgolung and Silug all alone.
"…Is your plan to go to war and fight back?"
"No."
Silug shook his head before turning his attention toward Omgolung. He then pressed his finger on Omgolung's chest and replied.
"My plan is simple."
His deep green eyes stared straight into Omgolung's eyes.
"You are my plan."

"Wow, this is a much grander spectacle than I had ever expected in my life."
A sea of black was slowly moving toward us as I watched it from behind the castle walls. The numbers were so high that I felt my body turn a little cold.
'I'm glad I didn't choose to go there by myself.'
I could never defeat that many demons on my own, no matter how strong I was. The same as a typical human would with mosquitos. Even a regular human wouldn't have trouble smacking them if there were only a few of them; but, they would simply perish if they were surrounded by thousands of them.
"Mh, I only see four Marquis-ranked demons present. There doesn't seem to be anyone stronger than that."
Liam's disappointed voice echoed beside me.
