But I also know that I have no chance of surviving in this state, so I might as well die quickly.
stab-
Without any hesitation, Ron pierced the woman's body with his longsword, killing her along with the orc cub in her womb.
No one present thought this was wrong; everyone knew it was the only way.
Seeing such a tragic scene, everyone's eyes were filled with sadness.
"Mother, they are so pitiful."
Upon seeing the female demi-humans who had been forcibly impregnated, Muses' eyes were filled with grief, as well as a sense of relief at having survived a catastrophe.
If it weren't for Fria and the Lord last time, my mother and I would probably have gone through the same thing.
Fortunately, I met them at that time.
However, these people were not so lucky; they became tools for the orcs to reproduce.
"Indeed, but now I'm relieved."
Shemier put herself in the other person's shoes and realized that if she were treated the same way, she would probably also wish to die to be free from this suffering.
"Therefore, orcs should not exist in this world."
Fria's crimson eyes narrowed, and a flicker of fire seemed to surge within them.
She utterly despises the orc race and, if she ever has the power, she will exterminate them all.
In the original storyline, the Red Dragon Queen who would later sweep across the continent did indeed do just that.
They not only killed many evil humans, but also wiped out disgusting orcs and some other evil races.
She is not a dragon that kills indiscriminately; she only kills those disgusting dragons.
"Let's go out first. The orcs that were lured away will probably be back soon."
I instructed the knight to lure the orcs back in about ten minutes, and they should be back by now.
Everyone nodded upon hearing this and followed the man out of the dark and damp cave.
Just walking to the cave entrance, the air felt much fresher, no longer as murky and damp as before.
When the warm sunlight shines on my body, I feel completely comfortable.
Tread-tap-
Not long after stepping out of the cave, they heard hurried footsteps and the sound of wood breaking coming from the dense forest on the right.
Clearly, the orcs have returned.
After the battle, the knights were not flustered at all. Even those who had just been promoted to Holy Knights yesterday had become much more determined after the bloody battle.
That's just how people are; they're more afraid of the unknown and the unknown enemy.
Once they understood the enemy's strength, and with such a valiant lord, they were no longer afraid of the orcs.
"Everyone, get ready to wipe out the remaining orcs in one fell swoop."
Although the remaining orcs couldn't cause much trouble, Ron still wanted to remind his men not to get carried away.
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
Upon hearing this, the knights under his command all raised their longswords, ready to kill the enemy.
Tread-tap-
The sound of orcish footsteps approached from afar and soon arrived.
Two holy knights were running at the front; they led the orcs on a long loop and then returned.
"Annihilate them all."
Seeing a large group of orcs return, Ron no longer hesitated, gripped his longsword and charged forward.
The knights behind them followed closely, charging towards the dozens of orcs.
Fria stood still, not making a move, because she felt that there were only about twenty or so orcs, and they were not worthy of her attention.
Of course, she didn't intervene because she believed that the man in front of her and those humans could deal with these beastmen.
Because it is not necessary.
Looking at the men fighting in front of her, for some reason, Fria felt a strange feeling in her heart.
I think that man riding his horse and fighting the enemy was actually quite handsome.
If only this human weren't human.
However, he does seem unlike a human in some ways...
stab-
Soon, all three waves of orcs that had been lured away returned and were easily annihilated by the knights led by Ron.
Each wave of orcs was small, and Ron left the opportunities to his men, hardly killing any orcs himself.
Because opportunities to kill enemies on the battlefield are precious, every battle with the enemy can greatly enhance practical combat experience.
Even the most foolish person, once they become a seasoned veteran, will have exceptionally strong practical experience, even if they lack intelligence.
They can handle any unexpected situation with ease.
Ron plans to train his subordinates in this direction, because the current group of holy knights under his command are his most loyal subordinates.
When the army expands in the future, these people will be leading troops into battle, and some will need to lead their subordinates to carry out special missions.
If we don't nurture them properly now, they'll just be idiots in the future.
Even rough jade needs to be crafted, and pure gold needs to be refined in fire; the same is true for generals leading troops on the battlefield.
Only through repeated wars can we know who is suitable to lead troops and who has the talent and ability to command.
Only when a larger army is formed in the future will we know who is capable of holding higher positions.
"We won! We wiped out all the orcs!"
After wiping out all the enemies, the knights were very excited. Although they had won several battles before, the thrill of the fight still excited many of them.
In particular, they won every battle.
"Drag all the bodies together and burn them."
On the battlefield, killing the enemy is not enough; the corpses must also be disposed of properly.
Otherwise, it could easily lead to plagues or other deadly diseases. If so many corpses are left unattended, it will have a significant impact on the ecosystem.
"Yes, Lord Lord."
Upon receiving the order, the knights under his command immediately began to act. First, they moved all the corpses out of the cave, and then they gathered dry firewood to build a huge grill.
Then they carried the more than one hundred corpses up one by one.
"Borrow a fire."
After seeing the corpses thrown up, Ron glanced at Fria beside him, then pointed with his chin at the corpses piled on the firewood.
The orc and the female demi-human corpses were separated, but of course, the human woman's corpse was placed together with the demi-human's corpse.
Philia glanced at the man with a look of disdain, but she did not refuse. Instead, she took a half step forward and raised her hand.
At that moment, her right hand transformed into a dark red dragon claw, and hot mist continuously emanated from the crimson scales on her forearm, which then ignited into rings of crimson flames.
The flames seemed to have transformed into a crest, an obscure and difficult-to-understand dragon crest, or rather, a formation formed by flames.
As the fire array was formed, a blazing inferno swept towards the corpse.
woohoo-
The scorching flames instantly set the entire pile of dry timber ablaze, with the billowing flames shooting six or seven meters high.
Within minutes, I could hear the crackling of burning matches and the sizzling of oil.
bang bang bang-
Finally, perhaps the orc's bones were burned and exploded, with occasional loud bangs.
The fire lasted for a full half hour before it was extinguished.
The corpses were completely burned to charcoal, and in some cases, the fire was so intense that they were reduced to bones that could be easily crushed with a light tap.
After burying the skeletal remains, Ron led his team onward toward the next orcish lair.
However, we took a short break by the stream along the way.
After a long and tiring journey and a long battle, it was already noon, so it was time to have lunch.
She had only brought bread, but with her keen sense of smell, Shemier quickly detected the scent of several deer.
Phyllis sensed this too, and in order to have a more substantial lunch, she hunted two deer.
One heart was given to Ron, and the liver was given to Shemir and Muses.
The remaining venison was roasted over a fire, without any seasoning, but it still smelled delicious.
Especially after a battle when you're exhausted, a bite of delicious roasted meat is better than anything else.
After eating and drinking their fill, they did not go directly to the next orc lair.
