Ch. 23 The hunters

In the eery quiet forest, there was an army of orcs. The orcs marched toward Claustar unknowingly. This was noticed by the bees who were keeping eye on their movements.

The bees were angries. Aurora was their light and pillar, always kept them together. If it wasnt for Moon,who gave them strict orders not to attack orcs. They would have attacked orcs even knowing they would be killed.

Moon's first order to the clan was not to attack. Compared to how free spirit he was , he was almost the opposite,when he gave that order. Some wanted to know the reason but nobody did ask. Including Raiz, who believed in Moons decision.

Val looked around and saw how everyone accepted the order. If it was how it was normally. For an example: if a king gave that order. His people would first calculate what to gain from revenge and if it surpassed the king's orders, They would conspire publicly or in the dark. All to change his mind and if that didn't work, the king could also be killed.

It was scheme after scheme. Even when everybody lived in the same country, trust was the last thing amongst them. That is how it should be, but it was completely different with the cloud.

It was like he had a charmed his people . They trusted him blindly. As Val was storming through his thought ,Moon spoke again.

"I promise you will get our justice but now is not the time"

The day Aurora came back with injuries, was almost over a week now. In the meantime, everyone got stronger almost incomparable to their former selfs.

Most were now in the eight stages of the mortal realm. The exceptions were Amilios, his siblings, Val, green, and Aurora. Who were all ninth stage. Unlike other stages, breaking through the ninth stage proved difficult even for them.

When Amilios siblings caught up to him, they were jumping with happiness only to realize. The reason he was stuck in the ninth stage for so long. No matter how much they tried to endure, they failed.

The smart one Aurora.Headed towards Raiz, who was the only one who made a breakthrough. After which his rank was promoted from member to elite. Surprisingly Amilios was also flying towards Raiz.

Welcoming his two guests in his new home ,that was upgraded thanks to the Thundersons.Knowing the reason for their visit. Raiz told them about his experience, without hiding anything.

Right as they were thanking Raiz. One of the bees that were keeping a close eye on the orcs. Came to report about orc's new movements,towards Claustar.

Thundersons made a big colosseum arena where the emergency meeting could be held now. As everyone made their way, the bees saw Moon and the core members.

Not many were alarmed by this, as a single one of them could defeat 3 orcs easily now. Still, the 2 thousand orcs numbers were alarming high for the clan that only had 391.

Everyone looked at Moon, waiting for the instruction. Moon asked how long it would take for them to be outside of Claustars wall. The answer he got from the bees were three hours at most.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Moon ordered everyone to get ready for a battle. The Thundersons also had armor with them. Unfortunately, the number wasn't enough and the armor made for humans wasn't any good to bees and wolfs alike.

The reason Moon was waiting for the enemies to knock on his doorsteps was to see. What kind of defense did their walls have? After all this was their home, it was better to know now,what it was capable of.

The atmosphere was heavy. The children's wanted to fight too, after all, most of them were at least the seventh stage, two stages higher than Moon. Everyone knew about this but now one person underestimated Moon. As they got stronger, they could feel Moons' aura more vividly.

The orcs who were marching towards the border of the forest stumbling upon a wall. It was the size of a village, they could easily bypass it but their order was to kill anything that came to their sightline.

A few orcs decided to hit the wall with their fist, only to scream in pain ,hurting their hands. The 5 big orcs leading the army noticed everyone stop marching. All of them went to the front not feeling fear.

Seeing the big dark wall standing firmly in front of them, they took their weapons out. The five axes were taken out. The big orcs looked at the axes satisfiedly. These axes were given by that person.

They did the same and one of them started dragging the axe toward the wall. The orc took a big swing at the wall. When it hit the wall, the orc's hand shook from the power as he hit the wall. The power came back through his axe into his arms.

Seeing the pathetic display, the next orc laughed for being weakest, only face the same consequences. Instead of it being one by one, all of them started hitting as hard as they could.

After giving their all, they looked at the wall ,that didnt have one scratch on it. One of them looked at the axe and then slashed the closest orc. It cut through the orc cleanly without any resistance. It seemed the axe was fine, it was the wall that was odd.

Moon and others who were looking at this behind the walls. We're truly amazed by how sturdy the walls were. Everyone cheered, they could stay inside and nobody would be able to do anything.

They could stay inside but nobody had the intention to stay inside. As if to start the battle, the wall opened up. letting everyone come through at the same time. Which after it closed again.

It happened so fast, the orcs didn't know how to react as humans, bees, wolves, and even cloud? came out. The wall closed behind them. It didn't take long before they started jumping on them, as the hunters showed themself.

Looking at the orcs coming at them. Raiz smiled as he could finally test his strength in the realm of Myr. He jumped right in the middle of the orcs,slaughtering with just his hands.

Everyone else joined but none of them went straight into the middle, they slowly fought their way from the frontlines. Nero, swiftly took bite after bite, as the orcs fell one by one. He couldn't believe there was a day where he struggled with just one group.

Val and green werent idle, their swords were slaying and butchering the orcs left and right. Aurora flew up to look for the shadow figure.

Unfortunately, no matter how she looked, there was no trace to be seen, maybe he was hiding inside the orcs. She came down as she hunted down orcs, sooner or later she would meet him.

The five big orcs who were leading the orcs were outraged when the orcs were being slaughtered. They ordered to attack humans first. The bees would flee into the sky as soon as the numbers were too much for them.

The humans, didn't have wings and wouldn't be able to escape. The humans were surprisingly outnumbering the bees whose usual number would be around one thousand.

Amilios heard what the enemy commander said and couldn't help but snort. If they thought the humans were their weak link, harsh reality awaited them.

The orcs went to attack the humans as they were ordered but not one of them was even able to injure them. Thunderson used a five-man strategy. 5 people would make circles completely trusting their backs with each other.

All of them were in the eighth stage and compared to the ones who were around the fourth stage, it was working amazing even when they were completely outnumbered.

The plan to eliminate the humans first and then attack others was failing already. One of the big fives patience ran out as it walked towards the most annoying one. Raiz already cut over hundred orcs.

The orcs saw as one of the leaders came forward, and they opened a passage for him. Raiz who saw the newcomer, looked calmly before saying.

"Why don't you make the other four come too? It would be easier to cut down all of you at the same time"

The orc couldn't believe what this arrogant bee was saying. Normal bees were easy to kill even by the normal standards of a normal orc, but this bee killed over a hundred of high orcs.

The big orc didn't behqve arrogantly, He looked at the Raiz. He gripped his axe and as he was slashing towards Raiz. Raiz asked what is his last words.

" Die"

Wondering if the humanoid was finally tired for him to stop attacking. The moment he blinked, he felt something. Only to see his heart bleeding.

Everyone at the present saw, how the big orc stopped for 2 seconds. That was more than enough for Raiz to pearce through orcs heart with his bare hand

.

Raiz looked at his bloody hands and said in disgust" I got freaking pigs blood in my hand"
