Chapter 12

Mitchell stopped and sat on a large rock for a rest in a dense forest.

He took out some dry rations and water from his bag and started eating.

His body had been doing that for so many years.

Hence, he did not feel uncomfortable at all.

As he ate, Mitchell tried to figure out where to go next.

Of course, Mitchell hadn’t forgotten his goal.

Giant Dragon!

There were dragons in this world. At least the memories of this body gave him that answer.

However, he had never seen a dragon before.

There seemed to be no news of dragons among the orcs.

If he wanted to fuse with the dragon, he would have to ask around first.

Storm City was right ahead, so perhaps he could find the answer there.

***

Not far behind Mitchell, an orc squad followed him from a distance.

The team stopped and hid themselves when they saw Mitchell stop.

“Captain, do we really have to do this?”

One of the orcs seemed to be rather hesitant as he asked the captain who was much taller.

The captain’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he said in a deep voice, “This is King Xeno’s order. Do you dare to go against it?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the others didn’t dare to have any objections. However, they were simply a little unwilling.

After all, the orc tribes revered strength and power.

And Mitchell had long won over all the orcs with his actions.

In addition, Mitchell had just defeated the enemy for Blood Roar City and was a great hero of the city.

It was simply too much to ask them to assassinate Mitchell.

However, they still had to obey City Lord Xeno’s orders.

Moreover, Xeno’s reason for doing it was ingenious.

“Mitchell that unfilial son has disrespected me so many times so he must be plotting a rebellion!”

Nobody dared to disregard the word rebellion as soon as it was mentioned.

As such, they could only obey and kill him.

Actually, if this team had a different leader, they probably wouldn’t have made a move.

They could simply say that they were no match for Mitchell, or that Mitchell had escaped and returned to report their mission.

However, this team leader was personally chosen by Xeno.

He was the Second Prince, Sear’s confidant.

After a round of brainwashing by Xeno, this confidant totally believed that the death of the Second Prince, Sear, was Mitchell’s fault.

“Think about it. His Second Brother went down to help him out of goodwill, but not only did he not protect his brother well, he didn’t even give him a reminder. Mitchell has the Silver Dragon Armor, so he’s naturally not afraid. But Sear was only wearing ordinary armor so how could he not be injured? From this, it seems like Mitchell is trying to kill the Second Prince on purpose!”

This remark succeeded in persuading Sear’s confidant, who was also the captain of this squad.

Hence, in the captain’s eyes, Mitchell was simply an evil person!

His brother had come to help him, and yet he simply watched as his brother died.

He was indeed malicious!

Thinking of this, the captain’s eyes turned red again as he whispered,

“Brothers, that traitor is resting now. It’s our most convenient time. Let’s take this opportunity to surround him. We must kill him in one strike!”

The other four team members listlessly agreed.

The team leader narrowed his eyes when he saw the unwillingness of his team members and then he finally understood.

It seemed like none of these team members would really kill him.

It seemed like he had no one else to depend on but himself!

After thinking it through, the team leader immediately ordered them to surround him from the front while he went around to his back.

While the other team members were drawing Mitchell’s attention, he would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

This way, he would definitely succeed.

Since the captain had already made the plan so straightforward, and the others didn’t dare to go against him either. Hence, they could only follow his orders and circle around.

Soon, everyone was in position, and the captain was already two meters behind Mitchell.

One more step and the captain could attack Mitchell!

As he looked at the defenseless orc in front of him, the team leader immediately looked at the team members hiding in the bushes and gave the order.

With a hand gesture, the team members looked at each other and jumped out from the bushes.

That did get Mitchell’s attention.

Mitchell looked at the orcs who had jumped out of the bushes in front of him. He didn’t look surprised as he continued to eat his rations.

He knew Xeno would send someone to kill him.

However, he did not expect these killers to jump right in front of him.

Were these orcs being too straight forward?

“Aren’t you guys being too amateurish for assassins? If you guys were into farming, Blood Roar City would already have plenty of food and clothing.”

The orcs thought Mitchell would either panic or immediately react and prepare for battle.

But they hadn’t expected Mitchell to continue eating calmly while he talked to them.

One of the Orcs answered instinctively,

“But Third Prince, we don’t know how to farm.”

The squad leader’s eyes twitched when he saw this.

Bastard, I asked you guys to attract his attention. Why are you guys still chatting?

However, a hint of ruthlessness immediately flashed across the captain’s eyes.

Chatting was fine too. In any case, Mitchell’s attention was indeed drawn.

Now was the best time to strike!

Immediately, the captain took a step forward and held his breath.

Gripping the thick spear with both hands, he thrust it towards the back of Mitchell’s head.

Although the orcs were not intelligent, they were not completely retarded either.

The captain knew that he could not aim at the Silver Dragon Armor.

However, something unexpected happened.

He saw the spearhead accurately pierced the back of Mitchell’s head with a clang.

Then, the spear was stuck against Mitchell’s head, and he couldn’t get it into his head at all.

Not only did this strike fail to injure Mitchell, it even numbed his hands.

The next moment, Mitchell slowly turned his head around.

Looking at the pair of cold eyes in front of him, the captain couldn’t help but shiver.

This was a pair of eyes that were ready to kill him at any moment.

He had no doubt that his head would hit the ground at any moment.

***

Mitchell said calmly to the orc captain who had trembling legs,

“Are you trying to give me a tickle?”

At the very next moment, Mitchell stretched out his hands, grabbed the handle of the spear, and gently bent it.

With a crack, the handle of the spear broke.

The orc captain’s face turned pale instantly.

Without further ado, Mitchell turned the spear around and stabbed it into the orc captain.

Blood trickled down the orc captain’s lips.

He didn’t even have time to say his last words before he was killed on the spot.

The other members were all stunned to see their captain killed.

What happened to a one-hit kill?

Why were you the one to die first?
