James was currently watching a episode of "That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime" while walking down the street. Due to him not paying attention while crossing the road he ended up getting struck by a moving truck.
He was taking his final breaths...
It's been about two and a half months since Rimuru ate my father so I'm assuming that Shizu already passed away, I'm assuming he will meet the ogres soon if he hasn't already. Over here in the lizardman's territory has been has been pretty much the same, minus people looking at me like I'm some rare diamond.
I've noticed something else, a lot of males have been taking glances at me, well more then usual. Honestly I hope it's not what I think it is, for now I'll get prepared for the orcs that will be coming our way soon.
Currently I'm standing at my post next to Abiru at his thrown with Soaka on the other side of him, over these few months the two of us have gotten along well and I can confidently call us friends, we even spar everyday together. Gabiru though, he is a matter I'll leave alone for now.
My thoughts were interrupted by three soldiers rushing in the thrown room.
Soldier 1: "Sir, reporting. There's an orc army, just south of us." he informs while kneeling.
Vendela: 'It's already starting!' I think.
Abiru: "We must prepare for battle. We will easily defeat those pigs," he responds confidently.
Soaka: "How many orc's are there?" she asks.
Soldier 1: "About that, we counted 200,000 orc's," he tells her.
Soaka: "There army is twice our armies size!? Impossible!" she yells.
Soldier 2: "We verified the number while using [Magic sense] and [Sense heat source], we swear on our lives that this is true," he says.
We all stand there thinking for a few moment's before the chief speaks up.
Abiru: "I trust you all, your excused for now," he tells them.
Soldier 1, 2, and 3: "Sir," the respond while leaving.
Abiru: "How do they feed such a number of orcs..." he comments.
Elder 1: "There's a rumor that they recently destroyed an ogre village," he comments.
I decide to play some part in this so I speak up.
Vendela: "Sir, this sounds a lot like that unique monster called an orc lord," I mention to the chief.
Abiru: "Yes Vendela, I had a similar thought," he agrees.
Elder 2: "That's impossible!" he screams.
Elder 3: "no it makes perfect sense, no wonder they can control so many," he says.
Elder 1: "Can we defeat such an army?" he asks.
Vendela: "If what we fight is a true orc lord, it will be difficult to win," I answer.
Abiru: "Yes, a orc lord is capable of even consuming the fear and anxiety it's allies hold," he mentions.
Once he says this everyone goes silent while they wait for his verdict.
Abiru: "We need to prepare to the best of our ability," he orders.
Soaka: "What do you mean by that?" she asks.
Abiru: "We'll need to arrange some back up," he says while getting out of his seat.
Abiru: "Has anyone seen my son around?" he asks loudly.
Gabiru: "I'm right here father but please address me by my name. Ah hello beloved," he says while glaring at his father, then winking at me. I just shook my head in response while I can hear Soaka chuckling.
Abiru: "What I refer MY son as shouldn't make a difference," he states.
Gabiru: "Fine," he response with a bit of irritation.
Abiru: "In any case I have a task for you," he says.
Gabiru: "Oh? And what might that be?" he asks intrigued.
Abiru: "I need you to go visit the nearby goblin villages and enlist there aid," he orders.
Gabiru: " ...It shall be done father. Will you join me beloved?" he says with hope in his eyes.
Vendela: "Gabiru, this is not my task but your fathers protection is," I say annoyed.
Gabiru: "Very well, maybe you will join me next time. I'll be off."
With that he leaves the thrown room to be another persons pain in the ass, leaving me with his sisters giggles for the rest of our shift.
Vendela: 'I hope I'm actually ready for this,' I think.
