Chapter 81 Preparation For Battle
Chapter 81 Preparation For Battle
Moku shot through the wind and flew away, within seconds his shape was no longer visible to the orcs. After that Goku took over the reins of leadership and ordered with a loud voice "ORCS WE MARCH!"
All the orcs cheered and welcomed the battle that had been promised to them. With all their might they ran into the forest before climbing a tree and then jumping from one branch to another. Within seconds the orc horde was out of sight, swallowed up by the dense Bog forest.
The girls who watched the orcs leave could only take a deep breath and wish they could meet again.
Lina then grabbed Claire's arm and said "Claire we have to tell this to Anna"
"I know, but I don't know how to put it. I don't want her to be sad because maybe her last meeting with Moku has to end like this" Claire took a deep breath.
The other girls then lowered their heads as they sensed Claire's worry. They had felt comfortable living with the orcs, but there was still in their hearts the desire to return to their human lives.
"Eee... girls! Can I see the other goblins" Tam who seemed to be forgotten said doubtfully. She didn't understand what the girls were talking about, because they spoke in human language, but she understood the heavy atmosphere that enveloped the girls.
"I will take you to the tent where the goblins rest" Widya answered Tam in her monster language.
"Thank you" Tom nodded.
"You want to go back to our tent?" Claire asked Nezena.
"Your tent? Moku's tent you mean" Nezena replied sarcastically.
"Yoouuu!!! I know you didn't sleep when Moku and Anna met earlier!!" Lina was furious.
"Are you saying I'm lying? I'm Nezena which means Holy Queen, Moku himself gave me that name. I am the personification of purity!" Nezena puffed out her chest.
"Purity? There's no way a slut like you is pure!!" Lina didn't accept it.
"Who are you calling slut?!!" Nezena was furious.
Before they fought further, Vivi's innocent voice was heard "Hmm.. If Nezena means Holy Queen, then what does the name Nevare mean?"
Suddenly all the girls became silent and thought.
....
In the Bog forest sky. Moku flew fast like a launched rocket, loud bursts of wind sounded every few seconds from the tips of his feet like a working propulsion engine.
"Moku, we better fly lower so the tree leaves can cover our trail. It would be dangerous if a flying mutated animal see us" Nerphyl tried to cover her face with both hands. Even though she shouted with all her might but her voice was like being swallowed by the wind.
Now that Nerphyl understood why Moku had ordered her to hide in the gap in his clothes, the wind that was hitting her right now was so strong and might have blown her away by the time Moku jumped into the air.
Even though Nerphyl's voice was carried by the wind Moku could still hear it clearly "If I fly lower then the trees will become our obstacle. We don't have much time, you remember!" Moku answered.
"Yeah I know, we just need to pray no flying mutated animal spotted us. Well.. Moku, how do you fly without wings?" Nerphyl was curious.
"Actually I'm not flying but I'm jumping with the air as my foothold" Moku replied.
"Air? how could you possibly step on air??" Nerphyl was confused.
"Hmm.. I coagulate the air by adding the friction force in the soles of my feet, then I jump with the help of springs in my calves" Moku tried to explain.
The ability to control the spring force was the second power he got after his second evolution. Moku is able to create a spring force in any part of the body that is covered by the biofield.
With this ability, Moku can throw any object at a very fast speed. Even so, the amount of dragon prana needed to use this power is proportional to the weight of the object to be thrown. So the heavier the object the more dragon prana is needed to throw it.
"What do you mean? I don't understand the word you use?" Nerphyl confuse.
"eehh... the friction is-- ah! we've arrived!" Moku was grateful he didn't have to teach Nerphyl about physics.
Moku jumped one last time and darted into the Bog forest below. He landed right in front of the goblin cave and made a loud booming sound.
BUUMMM!!
Surprising all the goblins in the cave and the birds playing in the trees. They flew and filled the sky which was covered with dust from Moku's landing.
Dozens of goblins came out of their cave with spears, they surrounded Moku who was apparently still covered in dust from the crushed ground. The wind blew and the dust disappeared revealing Moku, Hoddurt on his shoulder, and Nerphyl who had returned to sitting gracefully on his other shoulder.
"KuMoku? Why did you come here? hmm... isn't that Shaman Hoddurt?" Volx stood at the forefront of the bewildered crowd of goblins.
"I have important news for you. Hoddurt... Hoddurt... Hoddurt we have arrived!" Moku shook Hoddurt, but he didn't answer. Moku lowered Hoddurt from his shoulder and saw that there was already white foam coming out of Hoddurt's mouth.
"Shaman Hoddurt!!! KuMoku what is this?!! Who did this??" Volx panicked.
Moku and Nerphyl could only look at the unconscious Hoddurt with wide eyes. They realized that Hoddurt's screams suddenly stopped when Moku had reached a height above the treetops.
"Uuhh... Ah.. Volx I have important news, I want every goblin to be prepared for five mages to come close to your cave. I want you to set up a trap that can block them for a while. Our goal is to separate them and kill them one by one. Nerphyl are there any other sylphs still on the Slave Road?" Moku gave a series of orders.
"There are some sylphs, I asked them to hide and stay still" Nerphyl replied.
"Good! I want them to check if there are any other humans apart from the five mages we know of. If they see another human don't approach and watch their movements from afar. I also want you to send some sylphs to the Toxic Jungle to give this news to the alraune. Tell them if it's safe, I want them to hasten their departure to the Dawnmist Tribe. Say I want them to prepare some medicinal herbs and send some alraune to the goblin cave to deliver them" Moku gave orders with authority no more gentleness in his tone. Order after order flowed without any pause to refute.
The only thing Nerphyl could say was "Yes Ku" out loud.
"Volx you must divide the goblins into two groups. The first group is in charge of speeding up the transmigration of the goblins to the Dawnmist Tribe and the second group remains here to help us set up traps. Do you have any idea where we should set up a trap?... Volx!?"
Moku looked at Volx who was silent with his mouth agape, anger suddenly rose from inside Moku's heart "GODDAMN IT VOLX!!! We don't have time for daydreaming, every second we wasted here meant every meter they are getting closer to us! You must help me prepare the goblins for the impending danger!"
Similar to Nerphyl, Volx can only answer "Yes Ku!" out loud.
"Good!! where should we set up a trap?" Moku asked.
"Not far from this place there is a big tree where we used to set traps for animals. We can renovate it a little so that it can meet the criteria you want" Volx thought quickly and answered quickly.
"Good!! You can use my power to dig and anything that requires power!" Moku nodded.
"Yes Ku! Are you not listening to KuMoku's orders? Divide the goblins into two groups! Speed up our preparations for departure and set a trap for the mages!"
Volx ordered the goblins who were still in a dumbfounded state in a loud voice. They immediately came to their senses and started doing what Moku was told to do.
Moku looked at the goblins who suddenly became very busy. "Nerphyl, has there been any news from the sylphs?" Moku asked Nerphyl who was still sitting gracefully on his shoulder.
"I've received word from the sylphs who are still hiding in the Slave Road, there are no other humans other than the five mages who are approaching. Then for the sylphs I assigned to inform the alraune, they have met Ornell and hastened their departure, but there are still problems with Luna's laboratory transport carriage " Nerphyl reported.
"We can only hope that these five mages don't have other help coming soon. The sylphs, however, must remain vigilant. Then for Luna, tell Ornell if she wants to move faster I will sacrifice an orc to be her guinea pig" Moku said.
"Hmm.. I understand" Nerphyl fell silent again and stared blankly.
Volx then came asking for Moku's help to dig trenches and holes. Then they become busy with their respective tasks. Volx and the goblins with their trappings, Nerphyl and the sylphs with their information network, and Moku giving orders and managing everything.
Until Volx felt the trap they had set was enough and reported it to Moku. Actually, these traps won't be able to hurt the mage but at least they can hold them back to wait for Moku and the other orcs to finish them off one by one.
"Volx, you goblins just hide and don't come out, use your traps to hold back at least one mage. The rest that managed to escape I'll try to hold them off. When the other orcs come you guys immediately stay away from this place. I don't want you to get involved in our battle, and I'm sorry to say this but you will only be a nuisance to me and the orcs." Moku said firmly.
"Fine, I see" Volx could only take a deep breath, he realized that weak goblins would only be a hindrance to the orcs. He only hoped that their trap would help a little in this battle.
"Nerphyl how far are the orcs from here?" Moku asked.
"At least they need a few more hours" Nerphyl replied. Previously, some of the sylphs had met the orcs who were rushing and climbed on their backs.
Moku nodded, "The mages are getting closer! You all hide quickly!" Moku's orders.
He had already sensed the presence of the five mages through his inner eye. Moku jumped on the branch of the tallest tree and waited for their arrival.
Moku closed his eyes and focused his concentration on the fierce battle that was about to take place.
Not long after, through his inner eye, Moku saw five blue lights coming fast. One of them has a brighter light than the other.
Moku believed that he was the level 4 constellation mage that Claire was referring to. However, Moku was confused, because even though he had such a large and bright blue light, it was not too much bigger or brighter than the blue light in Stugo's mana organ.
If a level 4 constellation mage had much more power than Stugo then the blue light which was his mana should be much greater than this. But Moku didn't have time to think about it because the five mages were already right under the shadow of the tree where he was standing.
With folded hands, Moku looked fiercely at the five humans below him. His eyes did not convey any fear or doubt about facing an enemy who was on par with Mana Gods. The arrogance and self-confidence that he is the strongest overflows from Moku's body.
Moku raised both hands and activated Bhimasuta Form. The friction force disappeared from his right hand and the friction force increased in his left hand.
The air flows very fast in the right hand and is stuck immobile in the left hand. The air collided with each other causing a burst of heat that gathered into a vortex of fire. Then form the head of the Kala. Moku lowered his hands quickly and used the spring force to throw his Kala's head at the five mages "[Brajadenta: Kala Cannon]!" he shouted.
Kala's head shot up quickly and crashed into the ground where the five mages were standing. Causes an explosion that can be seen from a distance. Before the explosion hit his body Moku used the skill [Padakacarma: Rocket] to jump away.
After cursing the five mages for interfering with his Nevare chapter, Moku uses his inner eye to locate them. Moku is pretty sure the explosion of Kala's head won't kill them.
And sure enough, they were still safe and unharmed. Dozens of roots protruded from the ground and reduced the range of Kala's head blast. Even so, they are separated due to the lack of trust between them.
Two slave traders hid in the ground and three mages from the military academy also managed to survive. Moku lunged forward. His target is level 4 constellation mage.
Their battle had just begun.
