I look at GrumBal "are you ready?" I ask him in a low voice, he just turned his head towards me and nodded.
"good I shall talk with spiders in the orc camp now be ready to charge" I look towards the orc camp and close my eyes, I try to feel and connect to all the spiders in the camp.
"Hear me little ones I am your queen and your mother I come to you to free you from those chains that rob you of your freedom turn your anger and your hatred against the ones that did this to you!" I yell in my mind I hope this works like the last time.
"hmm nothing" I look at the orc camp and nothing is happening could it be that it didn't work if so that means our surprise attack failed.
"Kiiiiii!!" A sound was heard from the orc camp it was the spiders they did hear me good its time.
"Let's go GrumBal charge!" I yelled and GrumBal stood up and charged towards the camp gate.
"Little ones with me!" I ordered the spiders behind me to follow me as I charged towards the gate as well.
We arrived at the camp gate swiftly the two orc guards were burned alive by GrumBal's magic he is a scary fellow, we entered the camp and saw many spiders killing the orcs, good it seems our surprise attack worked perfectly.
"GrumBal take some of your warriors and free the prisonors we will deal with the enemies here and Khargol"
"Gladly" GrumBal answered as he took around ten warriors with him.
"Die!" one of the orcs tried to pierce me with his spear but he wasn't faster than my blade which pierced him right through the heart area.
Now where is Khargol I looked around and didn't spot any extraordinary orc, but our attack really caught them off guard they were dying left and right some even dropped their weapons and just started running for their lives, not that they managed to get far they were either crushed but the rock spiders or burned alive by the fire spiders.
"kiiiii....." Dead some of my little ones just died, it must be Khargol all of them died at once it must be him.
I clench my fist out of anger for their death you will pay with your own Khargol, I start running with lighting speed towards the location they died, it's strange we are all linked I can sense the location of ever spider that is linked with me and I can also sense their death and the pain they feel.
I move swiftly through the orc camp and arrive at the location the spiders died and look at the scene before me with grim face.
A two-meter big green orc with a ponytail on his head was standing in the sea of dead spiders in his right hand he held a short axe and in his left a shield made out of steel.
He didn't wear any armour his chest was bare you could see the muscles a true warrior indeed, he is dangerous I will need to end this fast.
He noticed me and turned towards me "hoh so you are the one leading these creatures and killing my men" he asked me in a cold voice.
Is he trying to intimidate me ridiculous "yes I am and I suggest you surrender if you want a painless death if not...well let's just say it will be painful"
"hahahahaha" he burst into laughter he annoys me.
"haha you think you can kill me I killed many more like you little girl and all of those I killed talked like you come and let me chop off your head" he motioned me with his hand to come towards him.
"As you wish" I pounced at him and tried to pierce him with all six of my blades but to my surprise he is fast he managed to block me with his shield, I did pierce the shield but it was too shallow.
He raised his axe and tried to chop off my head just like he said, I quickly retracted my blade and jumped backwards avoiding his axe, now it was his time to be surprised.
"hoh you are a fast one.....In that case" he lowered his shield and axe then he inhaled deeply and released a blood chilling roar "ooooohhhhhh!!!"
It was such a loud roar that I had to cover my ears with my hands what is he doing?
As I was wondering what he was doing I noticed his skin was changing colour it was becoming red as were his eyes I stared for a few seconds and then I remembered, in my past life I read in a book that some orcs have a rare ability called berserk, the ability changes their eye and skin colour to red and gives them an extraordinary speed and strength for a short amount of time.
"damn it this will be even harder now" I cursed as I looked at the orc and just like that he disappeared before I could react he was beside me his axe already near my chest area.
"damn it" those were the words I uttered before the axe stricken me.
"bam!!" huh?
I look around me it seems I crashed into a tent I didn't die? I look at my chest area and see that it is little damaged from the impact but the axe didn't cut through me, it must be this black skin...I see this works like an armour pretty convenient but still this hurts like hell I am still damaged by the impact hope nothing is broken.
I stand up and see Khargol getting ready for another attack and just as before he arrived next to me swinging his axe towards me, but this time I was ready I blocked his axe with three of my blades and other three went for his body he managed to block two of my blades with his shield but he didn't see the third which pierced one of his legs.
Good now it's time for my poison to do its work.
Khargol started shaking and foaming from his mouth, but he kept coming towards me slowly......scary now I know why the berserker ability is scary.
Khargol started losing his strength and fell on the ground his original colour returned.
I sit down on the ground I need a break 'sigh" "he sure was a strong enemy hope I never meet anyone with a berserker ability again!"
While I sit on the ground I can sense someone coming behind me I stand up fast and turn around ready to attack.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
"calm down It's me" covered in blood GrumBal was standing and behind him what's left of his warriors and the small female goblins as well.
"It seems your mission went well"
"Indeed we freed our females but...." GrumBal stopped as he was thinking of something.
"But?"
"there are some human female prisoners as well what should we do with them?"
Humans here ? Hmm what should I do with them.
"GrumBal take me there"
"Right this way" GrumBal turned around and started to lead me towards the human prisoners.
We are arrived at the cage the that the human girls were being kept, I looked at them and they were all scared some even started to scream when they saw me, I am kinda angry but at the same time I understand them.
Hmm these girls are wearing some expensive-looking dresses and it looks like the orcs ravaged some of the girls.
"pls........don't eat us" One of the girls spoke with tears in her eyes.
"huh? I won't eat you Infact I will let you go I don't need you" Yeah I think this is for the best they must be from some noble family and I don't want anyone searching for me.
"you........you will let us go?" The same girl asked me again.
"yes I will now stand back" I told the girl to stand back, I raised my blade and broke the bars on the cage.
"now go you are free GrumBal tell them they way out of this forest" I told the girls to leave they were hesitant at first but they saw I meant no harm to them so they started leaving the cage.
"go that way the way out of this forest is not far from this place" GrumBal pointed towards the direction and spoke.
the girls started leaving but the girl that always spoke first turned around towards me she had blond long hair but it was full of dirt now, she had blue eyes and a pretty cute face she is a natural beauty.
"um.....spider lady.....thank you" She bowed and turned around and ran off to catch up with the others.
"well at least someone still has some manners, but enough of that GrumBal take the orc supplies and go back to your village and thank you for your help"
"no need for thanks we now serve you and we serve out of our own will not as slaves my queen" GrumBal kneeled down and all the others goblins did the same.
"good to know I will stay here for a while to think of my next move and also to kill any orc that remained there could be a patrol or a lookout that we missed I want to get rid of them all"
"I understand we shall depart as soon as we are ready"
GrumBal bowed and turned around towards his warriors he ordered them to take the orcs supplies.
Ok then I should order my little ones to scout the forest for any remaining orc and to look for any that survived, ahh it has been a busy day I hope Khargol had a bed in his tent I want to rest a little.

Kael's POV
"ahh finally we can see the forest entrance!" One of the soldiers that was riding beside me yelled.
I look towards the forest, the forest is really dense I wonder if we can find the orc camp fast.
"My prince's we should make a camp at the entrance we don't know how long will it take to find the orc camp"
"very well we shall do that" Arnot spoke I think he is really happy that he can rest at the camp now.
We arrived at the forest entrance and started setting up our camp, when we suddenly heard voices coming from the forest.
All of the knights were ready for battle in the second, I already had my hand on the sword handle everyone was ready except Arnot who hid behind one of the knights.
"sigh" I avert my eyes from my shameful older brother and look towards the entrance.
In the next momment I look with shock at the six girls that were running out of the forest and one of the girls was daughter of the noble, her name was Enis I knew her from the parties that her father makes.
"ahh prince Kael everyone its prince Kael and the knights we are saved!" She yells as she throws herself at me and hugs me, this feels uncomfortable I never like this girl.
"Wait Enis weren't you kidnapped by the orc bandits?"
Enis looks at me "yes we were but a spider lady saved us"
Spider lady what is she talking about "Enis what spider lady what does she look like?"
"I don't know who she is but she look like humans but has black skin and has some strange things coming out of her back something like legs to be honest she looks disgusting I even had to thank her just in case" Enis makes a disgusted face, there it is the reason I never liked her she is all friendly with people but behind their back she talks bad things about them and who knows what else.
I push Enis away and turn towards the commander of the knights "Sir Reland I want to take ten of your men with me into the forest and scout the area it seems the orcs have been dealt with but I need to check something else"
"Do as you like my prince" Sir Reland bows down and walks away.
I mount my horse "ten men come with me!" I yell and immediately ten knights ride beside me.
Spider woman I am interested now hehe I knew it was worth coming here.
