Orcs are stupid and not as intelligent as goblins, they have advantage in strength but this time I will take advantage of their small brains
- Is it possible to talk with orcs?
I asked
The answer I received was that we can, our goblin and orc language are very similar, it could be compared to dialect of same language, if you tried hard, you could understand their talk, so it is confirmed!
And I murmured the plan to others, after hearing it they showed amazed expressions and leader eagerly nodded his head
It's not that this plan was not dangerous, in contrast it was even more dangerous, because we would have no way to take a step back, but we had more chance this way
By the way the number of goblins were about 35 at the beginning, mostly level 5 goblins fought while others supported them with arrows and even rocks, so they did not have many casualties, but now, at least half of them were eliminated
That means about 18 were still alive, this was the chance we would use
* Whoosh, whoosh
Arrows were shot from the tree but it did not land on orcs, it landed on goblins
POV change (Lv 6 orc)
These despicable maggots, how dare they kill my brethren? I will smash them until there's nothing left!
* Roar
These cowards were fighting shamelessly once they outnumbered my tribe, now look at them scattering around like straw, that makes me want to eat them alive and drink their blood even more!!!
* Smash
With a swing of my arm a goblin was smashed to death, turning into bloody meat so its previous form can't be recognized
- Catch and slaughter them all!!!
I roared and my brothers started chasing after fleeing cowards
I heard the wind tearing sound and nearby goblin fell, his back revealed an arrow, hmm? They started killing each other? That's not right, who cares, they'll die anyway, trying to confuse me? It won't work!
Before I could rush another time I heard miserable screams, the fleeing goblins were being slaughtered, I did not stop and slaughtered them mercilessly, they should pay! Even level 5 goblins were not my match, humph how can they compare to great me?
Hmm?
I saw two goblins slash and arrows that flew out of nowhere took other goblin's lives, now I was really confused

With their help none managed to flee, I feel it's strange, let's hear them out at least
POV change
I and leader stood in front of three robust orcs, I felt like an ant in front of them, their domineering figures and bulging muscles made my heart beat faster, not because I liked them, you idiot! But because I truly felt fear, but for this plan to work I had to muster the courage and talk to them
They did not seem to want to kill us, at least for now, good, I'll use this opportunity well
Leader knew what to do and we both fell on one knee
- Oh great Orc lord, great general and flawless warrior, we have long since heard of your courage and strength, our tribe is mortal enemies with the tribe you have enmity with, we humbly request to form an alliance and exterminate the great enemy together, it would be an honor to be your brothers
POV change ( Sovereign)
I was watching his clumsy performance, if someone acted like that to me I would kill them immediately for excessive boot licking, but that orc is different, I did not misjudge you Dylan, that's why I like you, I am looking forward to your growth
POV change ( Level 6 orc )
I was dazed by his words, great general... flawless warrior... me? I knew I was great but, kuhuhuhu, I like this little one
Then that's settled
POV change ( Dylan )
There is a saying that enemy of your enemy is your friend, knowing their simple nature and if I use this unmatched opportunity to fawn on the big guy and flatter him, I am sure he won't refuse, with the humble way we acted he would not kill us, I am sure of it
- What is your name little one?
He said and I lifted my head, looking at his eyes, his pig head did not look embarrassing at all, his small tusks made him look even more monstrous, his facial expression that was brutal seconds ago was nowhere to be seen, his eyes were flashing with interest, good, I caught a big fish, and I mean really big one
- This one does not have a name, but they call me reckless one
I said, my fear was starting to disappear, I just had to follow the flow and keep acting, good for me, he was a naive bastard, I am sure this flattery would not work against normal humans and they would get suspicious, but he's different
Most likely he hunted for his whole life, he seeks glory and he wants to be praised, what a naive idiot
He laughed at my response
- Reckless one? Good, I see why they call you that? Aren't you afraid I will kill you?
He asked, playing with words with me? You are hundred years too young
- Since I trust great general's judgement, I know you would not kill us
I answered the way so if he killed us he would seem stupid in front of other orcs
- Oh, why do you think so?
His eyes narrowed and I felt chills, it's fine, I've got this
- Because we want to be your subordinates, following someone as great as you would be an honor, I believe you would show mercy to us
He burst into cheerful laughter, he really likes to be praised huh? What an idiot
- Good, then we shall form an alliance, we shall hunt together, I will give you 20% of the loot for being loyal, how about that? Call your archer friends too
Archers also appeared and knelt on one knee
Everything went smoothly, it was a nerve wrecking but I was almost fully confident it would work, we were given 7 mana stones as a compensation
- Oh, you guys can take their armors, we have no use for them
He said, I grinned inwardly, that's to be expected, selling the 35 full armor and weapons to our tribe will make us rich, not to mention their higher quality!
We could not carry all of them though
We bowed in courtesy to the big dumb orc and collected up all these armors, it would be hard to carry them all, we would need to come back and carry them couple of times
- Tomorrow, you guys come here, we will hunt together
The big orc said before going on his way, kukuku, I am wondering, shall I continue this play or just ignore him after all that? I'll have to think about it, 20% is not bad, he's also very strong, I'll discuss that with leader
But for now, we buried all the loot, because we did not want someone to stumble upon them and steal it, we decided to split loot evenly among us
Each of us took full equipment of 2 dead goblins and went back, carrying them all the way to our tribe, of course we did not forget to equip ourselves with the best of what they had
