Dragon King's Harem Chapter 211. The Orc's Camp I
After that quickie, we put on our clothes and went back to our room. But instead of lying on the bed like Evelina, I was sitting behind my desk. A crystal showing a hologram map of this area was in front of . My eyes were fixed on it. I had been looking at the map for over an hour and sent my spies to find out where the orc's camp was. But I hadn't found it yet.
Yes, to determine whether I could use Evelina's plan or not, I used my True Sight skill to create a spy from my Mana that would send what it saw directly into my brain. This was why I decided to hold my decision. I wanted to know what the orc's next plan was.
Unfortunately, it was not as easy as I thought. I had a hard ti finding where the orc camp was even though I'd looked everywhere around here. That's why I opened the map.
'Damn! They're not here either!' I grumbled internally. This was my fifth failure.
I had checked the Minotaur camp, the open field used for camping, and the cave around here but I still hadn't found them. What I found were the Minotaurs. They were burying their friends' bodies and praying for them. From how they packed and how General Dravis talked to his assistants, they were getting ready to return tomorrow morning.
Aside from it, I also didn't see the fire in their eyes anymore as if their will to fight had been extinguished. Well, they were only half left and the rest were mostly injured. So retreat was the best decision.
Previously, I thought the Orcs would co to them and ask for their help, but I was wrong. I didn't see any orcs there or heard anything that ntioned it. So I decided to check out another place. Unfortunately, I didn't find the orc.
I canceled my skill, dispersing my Mana spy before I turned my attention to the hologram once again. My eyes moved side by side to look for other possibilities.
'If I was Uraugh, where would I take my soldiers to hide?' I thought. Still, I had no idea where they were.
A long exhale ca out of my mouth as I plopped my back on my chair. I pinched the bridge of my nose before I dropped my head backward.
‘What should I do?’ The pressure was too real. I had to decide on tomorrow's plans yet I hadn't found what I'm looking for.
Then in the middle of my headache, sothing flashed through my head when I rembered how they disappeared when I and my soldiers surrounded them.
'Wait a minute. Are they hiding underground?' I thought. That was the least possibility since the underground wasn't a pleasant place to spend the night. After all, even though the orcs were the earth elent's creatures, that didn't an they lived underground.
After all, my soldiers also checked the tunnel where General Kul ca from and found nothing. The tunnel did not connect with the Minotaur's tunnel and ended in the backyard of the fortress. My soldiers had also filled the tunnel with soil and boulders so the orcs couldn't use them anymore. They had also put two Spy Worms in their case using the sa thod.
Since I didn't have any idea where they were, I decided to check them out.
I opened my palm and used my skill again.
'True Sight.'
My mana was concentrated inside my palm. The next mont, a ball of red light appeared in front of . It was the size of my fist and had the shape of a sphere. A second later, it turned into a worm with bat wings before it flapped its wings and went out, starting its search.
I closed my eyes and put my concentration on it. The creature flew high and observed every detail on the ground. I just needed any clue or anything that showed the orcs were there. Like a hole or sothing since with that many soldiers, they needed to make so hole so they could breathe.
Half an hour had passed, yet I didn't find them. I was desperate and almost dispersed my True Sight, but then my Mana Creature could catch so tiny holes in the underground.
My Mana Creature folded its wings and dropped its body before it dived down the soil. Its slimy body dug into the dirt and exposed the darkness below.
“They must be there,” I muttered, excitedly.
And I was right. A few seconds later, my worm could see a group of orcs that were sitting around and eating their al accompanied by the dim light of a fire crystal.
'They don't seem to notice ,' I thought.
My worm went to the other side to check them.
The place was quite spacious. It was almost as big as a cave.
As I expected, the orcs were there, all of them, including Uraugh and princess Glasha. I directed my attention to them and counted how many of them. So treated their comrades and chatted around while eating. As for the food, it was obviously a feast for them since they had a lot of roasted at, fruit, and alcohol.
They were resting in the dark. Each of them was shoveling food in their mouths. Their hands held their big chunk of at while their bellies were full.
“Wow, they really eat well," I comnted in surprise. But I guessed Uraugh did it to boost his soldiers' morale. Well, the minotaurs had lost and they didn't have anything to back them up or help them so this al might be their last al.
And just like Evelina said, most of them were still young. So were not fit to be soldiers. Still, I was surprised that the orcs seed to be having fun despite being in the middle of a war.
