The Author's POV

"Was this all planned by you!?"

A booming voice could be heard reverberating in every nook and cranny of the castle.

"Was the demon attack something that you planned?"

I was confronted by Silug, who cast a menacing glare in my direction as we stood face to face with each other. Neither one of us backed down from our spot.

It had been two days since I had left the battlefield, and by this point, the vast majority of the demons that had been there had been eradicated.

Up until Silug's return, things were running smoothly...

Of course, that was until he returned.

When he got back, everything went into disarray, and he immediately began yelling at me. His voice was so loud that the surrounding areas shook.

"Do you think I'm stupid?! You think I wouldn't know?!"

He shouted once more, the surroundings shaking at the loudness of his voice.

He tapped my chest as he extended his thick arm, pushing my body back a bit.

"I know that you brought the demons to us...and you purposely didn't interfere in the war until a good number of my people had died. You purposely let them die for whatever your goal is!"

Silug continued to shout in an angry manner.

I looked at the people that were in the same room as me for a moment and then brought my attention back to Silug.

My brows furrowed.

"Calm down for a moment."

I said in a soft tone. Soft enough so that only the two of us could hear.

"If you shout so loudly, everyone is going to hear you."

"As if I care?! How can I calm down when so many of my people have died?!"

Silug's voice only raised when he heard my words.

I furrowed my brows when I noticed this. I glanced at his exposed stomach and made a quick decision.

Bang!

I threw a punch at Silug's stomach with all of my strength. His body suddenly gave way, and he went tumbling to the ground, landing on both knees.

"Keuk!"

The moment he hit the floor, there was a deafening silence throughout the room, followed by the other orcs in the room becoming enraged and making an attempt to attack me.

"What are you doing!?"

"Protect the Chief!"

"...Quiet down for a moment."

I extended my right hand and flicked the air. Ripples formed, and the air boomed.
