The Author's POV

"Cough…cough!"

I coughed several times before finally reaching the castle's upper levels. When I opened the doors that led to the top of the castle, I saw the others standing in the same place I had left them, solemnly and heavily looking into the distance.

"How is the situation?"

I asked.

After sparing me a glance, Leopold commented.

"...Not good."

He was the only one who bothered to acknowledge me when everyone else was too busy observing the situation in the distance.

Boom—! Boom—!

The ground continued to shake, and anyone who paid close attention could hear the agonizing screams of the orcs as they struggled for their lives.

Seeing the scene, I asked Leopold.

"How many losses have the orcs sustained?"

"They've lost a couple of legions, and are barely holding on."

It was Angelica who spoke this time.

"The orc's line of defense will break soon. I was just about to call you, but it's good that you came here in time."

She added, her eyes squinting and locked in the distance.

"Mhm."

I nodded my head slowly and moved towards the edges of the wall.

From my vantage point, which allowed me to survey the entirety of the battleground, I could see how dire the situation was. Indeed, it was exactly as Angelica was describing it.

At this point, the orcs were just about managing to hang on. The only reason they were able to survive at the moment was because of Silug and Omgolung, who stood at the front and repelled the Marquis ranked demons.

If not for them, the situation would have been extremely precarious, if not hopeless altogether, and every single orc would have perished.

"Is it our time to finally make a move?"

Liam's voice, which was tinged with excitement, echoed beside me. Sparing him a glance, I shook my head.

"There is no 'our' in this situation. The only one that will move is me."

"Huh?!"

Everyone looked at me with surprised expressions when I said that. Before they could air their grievances, I added.

"I know you guys want to fight, but now is not the time. The only one that the demons are wary of, right now, is me. You guys will fight, but you aren't allowed to display a strength that is greater than half of your actual strength."

As soon as those words left my mouth, everyone's expression took a sharp turn for the worse. This was especially true for Liam, who appeared to have completely lost his soul.

I didn't doubt he
