Chapter 395: A small tidy up
Tsubaki blasted through the main road.
Once we got close enough to see the village clearly, we witnessed the orcs attack the village.
「Everyone! Get ready for battle! We’re going in!」
「Takumi! Ferryl please!」
「Seru-chan for Laeva too please!」
I opened the Subspace and Akane’s familiar, the giant Luna Wolf Ferryl, and Laeva’s familiar, the giant Serval Seru, jumped out.
「Gloam! Take the lead!」
When Sophia loudly gave directions, the Thunder Eagle Gloam was the last to come out of the Subspace and flew towards the village at high speed.
GUOOOOーーN!!
UOOOOOOOーーN!!
GAOOOOON!!
Tsubaki let out a Dragon Roar, then Ferryl and Seru followed up with roars of their own.
It was a tragedy that could happen to anyone.
People are born even in countries with collapsed systems.
And on that day, the village was targeted by a swarm of orcs.
The men and children would be food, and the women would be for breeding……
「Uwaaーー!!」
An excited orc slobbering in the mouth raised its club at a boy who fell on his bottom paralyzed in fear.
At that moment, a roar that seemed like it could freeze hearts resounded.
The startled orc seemed to freeze, then in the next moment when it looked up, blood gushed from its neck.
「Eh? Eh, wh-what……」
Jumping over the boy and biting into the next, the giant wolf dashed towards the next orc.
Dogaーーn!!
In a different place, orcs were struck on the head by lightning, and the smell of burning meat wafted in the air.
A giant monster cat swung its claws, tearing an orc’s shredding orcs throats to pieces.
「……wh- what’s happening?」
While the paralyzed young boy on the ground was dumbfounded, a large horse-like monster drawing a carriage had entered the village and stopped in a cloud of dust.
The people who came out of the parked carriage started running towards the orcs who savagely raided the village.
「……is the village saved?」
Before the boy’s very eyes, the two meter tall rampaging orcs were being killed instantly so he couldn’t help but watch in a daze.
By the time we arrived at the village where Ferryl and the other familiars came to first, the sight that awaited us was horrible. Corpses of half eaten men, women, and children of the village were strewn about, and houses were destroyed.
It filled me with anger and helplessness.
We rushed out of the carriage in silence and exterminated the orcs that caught our eyes.
We dispassionately killed the orcs that grew excited at the sight of Sophia, Maria, Marnie, and the other girls.
I took the chance to attack the orcs gathering around Sophia and the girls from behind, stabbing their hearts. I then ran to the next orc.
Kaede erased her presence and used invisible threads to behead the orcs before they noticed.
Fumooooooーー!!
An orc, who finally realized that their comrades had been killed, squealed in anger and brandished its weapon.
I deflected its club and used 『Decomposition』.
Suddenly, the log-like club disappeared and I placed my hand on the orc who was thrown off balance.
「『Decomposition』!」
The orc whose brain was decomposed fell like a marionette whose strings had been cut.
Once we had exterminated the orcs that raided the village, the young boy hiding had clung to my leg and followed me.
「Mommy is, mommy is. Oniichan, save mommy.」
「Save her. We’ll definitely save your mom.」
Understanding the situation immediately, I summoned Titan from the Subspace and left the defense of the village to him.
「Titan, protect the village! Akane, treat the injured! Kaede, we’re chasing after them!」
「Gotcha, Master!」
Leaving the treatment of the rescue villagers to Akane, Laeva, and Lulu-chan, and guarding them were Titan, Ferryl, and the other familiars.
Kaede, seemingly aware of what direction the orcs had left to, she began running without any hesitation.
As soon as I went after her, Sophia, Maria, and Marnie also began running.
「Gloam! Locate the settlement ahead of us!」
Gloam chirped and flew past us.
We should still have some time. We’re running to save the women who had been abducted from the village.
I immediately detected the village women kidnapped by the orcs.
We strengthened our bodies and fiercely gave chase to the orcs.
