A4P9: Attack on ork capital

We thought that duchy will last longer, but we took over in less then one hour. In next hour I subdue the city lords and for few next days I fixed my rule. Thank to Lizzie who saw quite few kingdoms in her long life, I got big help with setting rules in stone. And only thanks to her our new kingdom was taking smooth steps forward.

Well natural nature of Orks, following the strong, also hepled a lot. And so I recieved a lot of DP from them every day.

Luckily the duchy had a solid amount of conserved food, so provisions for ogre army wasn’t bigger problem then we originaly thought.

After that we went to the ork capital, where we arived exactly two weeks after starting the war.

„So we finally arived, the ork kingdoms capital, hohohoo… I’m looking forward to their screams of agony… hohohooo…“ the ogre king laugh.

My group did more work then your army you know? And loyalty of your soldiers is also going to my side you idiot! If it continues like this your army will soon be mine, just like the three dukes!

„Lizzie, will you do the honors?“

„Of course darling. ‚Extra tier magic: chaos quake‘“

„Hey, easy now… good greiff, she passed out the moment she used that magic… even at your level it took you out hm… Now rest Lizzie, we’ll finish the rest.“

Spell Lizzie used was highest tier of magic, usualy restricted to special individuals, which supressed level cap.

Elvish level cap was 150, Lizzie supressed it thanks to her heroic skill: ‚Rule breaker,‘ which allowed her to learn magic she didn’t have affinity with and even go up her level cap.

Humans also had level cap of 100, but for whatever reason, I never felt it. When I died as human I was at level 124, twenty four levels higher then level cap. Sometimes I was thinking I wasn’t human at all, still my status always read: Human.

And now, my level is over 190. How high is it going to be?

Only being without level cap were dragons. Many believe that it’s becouse dragons are children of Gods. Well given that dragons have the biggest variety of shapes, rivaling only Shapeshifters and Dopelgängers, it’s understandible.

I have to ask Goddess of demons, when I came back… she’s probably STILL sleeping in one of the rooms at the lowest floor of the dungeon eating our food… I miss eating diner with everyone…

Demons also had level cap, but it’s little tricky with them. Simply put, their level cap is same as their summoners. So imp can have level cap of 80, like beastmen, or 200 like High elves.

„King Ya-rok, now you attack. If you need help just scream.“

And with that I took Lizzie to our tent, which had red color, unlike ogre tents, which were brownish green.

„When will we attack milord?“ Hikari asked with gnolls behind her.

„Not now, Lizzie torn down the wall reinforced with magic, so we’ll wait until she wakes up. Kyoko, you go for reconnaissance, of the ogre army and their advance. Report everything out of the ordinary.“

„Sure thing!“

„Haba, you go as her guard. Gnolls, you wait outside and get ready for potencional battle.“

„Yessir!!“

When everyone left I tried mana transfer, which thanks to my inexperience make Lizzie go in heat.

„Eh… Lizzie, calm down, my finger isn’t lollipop!“

„Uuuuu… no fair Lizzie… I want some too…“

The hack you talkin ‘bout Yuki?!

„Lord Zaru! Kyoko repo… I will came later!“

„Came back right now you little newbie!“ I got out of Lizzie’s grip with all I had.

„Yes!“

„What is it?“

„I caught a spy, she says she have message for you.“

„Spy with message? Is she looking like a knight?“

„Yes her name is Zaguma. She claim to be second-in-command of first pricesses Galulu’s near guard.“

„H-how did you? Master you know right?“

„I guessed that someone from royal family stole that reciever, but I never thought that a princess would do that… bring that girl over here.“

Kyoko brought the girl into the tent and I took position on throne-like seat in the head of the tent with Yuki and the rest around me. Lizzie was still sleeping so I left three gnolls standing as guards near her.

„State your reason for coming here ork,“ i said with my dark persona, which I use dat Kyoko back when she was known as Yama.

„I-I… I’m Zaguma, second in command of First princesses near guard, princess saw your actions through camera reciever from barony, you took over…“

„So it really was princess, who took that reciever, I though so. Well, what do you want from me?“

„Lord Zaru, would you take the crown from the king? The princess is currently working on undermining the kings authority and she also sen dus, the near guard, to release imprisoned ogres under the capital, in order to wreack chaos in hearts of the masses.“

„Interesting, the princes sis quite the plotter, I wonder how far did she saw through my plans, not like it matters at all.“

„M-my lord… if anything, princess is knowlegeable, about internal affairs of the kingdom, especially the north and the kingdoms surrounding it.“

„You mean that the Gurell kingdom and Holy empire are currently at war over northen border region with High elvish empire?“

„Ugh…“

Jackpot. I got her into corner, she thought that I didn’t know about it. Thanks Guild master! You saved met his time… I should send her a gift… after this is over.

„So? What can you give me? I’m bored of waiting.“

„Ugh… I can’t talk about national affairs, without the princesses aproval… so, could you please take over as fast as you did with the duchy?“

„Hmph, you didn’t like my wall shattering?“

„The inner sector where king of Orks reside is protected by stronger barrier that oce repeled Hero of Axe, Daruul.“

„Hm… that seem like challage, I wonder… no that will not do…“

„Lord Zaru, will you please help us? We… the prncess needs you!“

„What princess I didn’t allow that!“ Lizzie woke up and glared at me and kneeling knight before me.

„Who… that face… Azure elf from that recording…“ a droll apeared at the Zaguma’s face.

„I am no mere azure elf, ork! I am first wife of the great ruler of Dungeon in Snowy mountains! The one and only Demon lord of assassinaton Zaru! My name is Lizzie!“

„Ugh… I’m terribly for my rude behavior, lady Lizzie.“

„Hm… rejoice ork, I decided that I will help your princess, but in return I will take all she can give…“

„D-does that mean you will partake of her body?“

„Heck no! She’s barely sixteen, like hell I would do that!“

„If she looks like elf it would be different story no?“

„Shut it! Urgh…“ with no energy left, I canceled the Dark cloak spell and stand up.

„So, there you have it. We are gonna help you. Lizzie, Yuki, Haba, you three came with me, Hikari, Kyoko and gnolls, your group will make sure no one will follow us, after we destroy the barrier. And guard us.“

„„„Understood!“““ was united reply.
