Chapter 398: Enemy no more.

Aiming at us who had split up, the Orc General swung its giant axe sideways.

With that one swing, an attack that could cut down even huge trees was headed our way.

Kaede and I avoided it with ease.

The Orc General, who was looking forward to enjoying the seedbed-to-be women, was in a fit of rage when we came in and killed its subordinates all of a sudden.

Like a martial artist, it swung its giant axe haphazardly.

「(As I thought. Perhaps after having so many hard fights like in the Demon Continent, the Dragon Dungeon, or the material foraging in the Forest of Death...... an Orc General’s speed would make us yawn.)」

「(Master, this is a weakling that’s all body.)」

Kaede also dodged the giant axe that the Orc General swung so easily.

The Orc General got more and more irritated at not even being anywhere close to hitting us.

『Bufoooooooーー!!』

Its irritation reaching its utmost limits, the Orc General raised its giant axe overhead to swing it down towards me.

This should be fine already. With the giant axe coming down towards me, I stood upright waiting for it without even trying to evade.

『Bufo!?』

The Orc General’s bewildered voice leaked out. I suppose that was to be expected. With over a 1m height difference, I received the Orc General’s giant axe easily with one hand.

It must have thought that it would be able to cut me right in half with its downward swinging giant axe. Compared to the 3m tall Orc General, Kaede and I were far smaller. The difference was obvious, not only in height, but in width and weight too. I could tell it was bewildered.

The Orc General pushed down the giant axe down more, its nostrils flaring.

If we leave this place be, goblins, kobolds, or orcs might inhabit it once again. It would be best to destroy it without leaving a trace.

After I placed the Orc General’s body in the Item Box, I also retrieved the Orc and Orc Leaders’ corpses from the hut.

The orcs who remained with the colony, the orcs who were on their way back carrying women, the rampaging orcs we first encountered in the village should be close to a hundred in total. These should be useful for the revival of the village.

When I retrieved the orcs and distanced myself from the colony, Kaede chopped up all the huts with her threads, turning the huts that the orcs built into nothing but wood chips.

「Master! I’m done!」

「Good work. Everyone’s waiting, let’s go back.」

「Yup!」

When we returned from the forest with Kaede, we walked in the direction of the village around where we had saved the women and joined up with Sophia and the girls.

「Thank you for your hard work. How was it?」

「Mm, it went well.」

Sophia gave words of appreciation, indirectly asking if there were any other victims within the colony.

「Leave the watch to Kaede and I. You all support the girls please.」

「Yes, we’ll do our best.」

Caring for the women who were almost seedbeds for orcs should probably be left to Sophia, Marnia, and Marnie who were similarly women. They might be afraid of a guy like me and a high ranking monster like Kaede.

It would have been easy to teleport everyone to the village, but as expected, there’s no way we could use teleportation magic so openly. We had to have the women walk back home on their own feet, so sun had set by the time we returned to the village.
