6 The Blacksmithing Village

As we enter the dungeon, we are surprised by the many buildings surrounding us.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing in our smithing village!" A short fellow yells towards us.

"Oh, you must be one of those gnomes I've read about your kind." I say towards him, and then he kicks me in my knee.

"Do I look like some fucking gnome you idiot I'm a dwarf ya dumb cunt!" The dwarf shouts. (Dang, they do have quite the attitude just like I've read.) An older looking dwarf approaches.

"Please excuse Glóin he's a little more aggressive than usual because of recent events." The old man says.

"Do you mind telling us what's been going on? You all seem very tense." Julian asks the old man.

"Ah, that's because of what our scouts have found. There's an army of Gnolls and orcs we counted around six hundred and we only have around three hundred solders to defend this town." The dwarf says.

"Do you have a layout of the village knowing where they might attack?" Julian asks, and the old man hands her a map.

"They can only attack from the north and south of the village." The old dwarf says

"Alright, Frank, Nux, and piro. you will guard the south while Trex and I guard the North since they said there will be guards to help you its not a hopeless battle." Julian tells the group, and we split apart.

Looking around the town, I see children and the elderly bunkered down in homes looking out tightly guarded windows. (Don't worry, we'll make sure not a single enemy enters) I think to myself as we reach the northern drawbridge.

"Hey Piro why don't you stay right inside the gate incase one of us gets injured you can heal us we can't lose such a valuable asset" I tell piro and he agrees.

The drawbridge is lowered as I, Frank and a hundred dwarven soldiers leave outside the walls. there are also fifty archers backing us up. The dwarf guards line up strategically, shield men upfront with Spearman behind a few wielding swords and shields to charge themselves.

As a large army of Orcs and Gnolls appear.They start running towards the gate,Frank and I get to the front of the army. Frank screams, getting the attention of our enemies. I take out my claws and blades, ready to attack.

Frank uses his greatshield bashing heavy gnolls back while I slice them, and he defends as I attack . An orc appears behind me, putting me in a hold that's restricting my arm movement.

"Frank, I can't move right now. Give me a second and protect yourself!" I yell as a Gnoll bashes my head with a club. (Aghhh, I'm so dizzy, but I can't let them keep attacking me, or I'll die.)

I start kicking back, but to no avail, this orc has a tight grip, and the gnoll keeps hitting me with the club. "Argh, knock it the hell off!" I scream will kicking back another blade pertruited from my calf, impaling the orcs knee, lossening his grip.

I grab his arm from underneath and toss him over me into the Gnoll. I then rush over to Frank that's been tanking on so many hits as he couldn't counterattack much.

"Ah shit you need some healing, but we're being surrounded." I say, however, as I said that arrows rained from above opening a path for us to escape I run towards the drawbridge while the solders took on the enemies the drawbridge lowers and I hand Frank over to Piro.

"I'm going back out there. Take care in healing him, Piro." I tell him, but he stops me grabbing my shoulder.

"Are you sure you want to head back out there  the number of allies on this side have fallen from a hundred and fifty to only sixty three and the enemy still has over a hundred units on this side." Piro tells me.

"It's fine. We're here to stop the enemies and protect these people from harm. I won't stay in here and do nothing." I say as I rush right back outside the gates. (What is that thing.) I think to myself as a giant creature appears.

"Watch out, Nux!" Piro yells as my arm is sliced off by an orcs axe.

"Arghh!!" I scream in pain and agony, a burning stinging sensation engulfs where my arm would've been as black blood comes out of my severed limb. I lash out my remaining claw at the orcs chest, killing him. (I shouldn't have gotten distracted from that giant monster it looks like a troll, but it's not turning to stone.)

"Nux be careful that's a rare species of trolls it has a high regeneration ability and they don't turn to stone come back so I can heal you!" Piro yells from the top of the wall.

Many units of ours are being battered by the giant troll. (I know I'm injured, but I can't just leave, or we'll lose this battle. Maybe just maybe I can do it.) I raise my remaining hand and focus on the burning sensation of my missing limb.

I focus on the troll. "hellblaze!" I yell as black flames ingulf the troll while he burns alive and falls to the ground burnt to a crisp. I rush back towards the gate.

"You can actually use demonic spells impressive. Let me heal that wound." Piro says while coming over to me, healing my arm as the bleeding stops, I ask. "How did I use that spell? All I know is I focused on my pain."

"Demons and angels biologically know magical words pertaining to their race you probably subconsciously said it." Piro explains as the battle concludes and Frank is healed.

We rush over to the North gate where Julian and Trex are at. Piro spots Julian "Hey how's its going over here!" Piro yells and Julian looks at us it.

"We just finished up over here since were done we can leave now." She says and we start heading to the portal

"Waitttt! Can't you stay a little longer you've been such a big help we are throwing a feast tonight for our victory." The old dwarf says.

"Sure however we can't stay to long due to the portal closing at the end of the night." Julian says and so we start eating some delectable meat and drink strong ale.

"Hey Julian why did you want to be a hunteress?" I ask while buzzed.

"When I was young and overseas in Taiwan I met a huntress by the name of Calu she was a mix bread of a dragonborn and kitsune there was a portal outbreak that happened near by and she saved my life shes now an S-rank huntress I wish to meet again and get to her level. Julian answers.

"Anddd where are we located at?" I ask while loopy.

"Oh yeah I never told you but we live in the UK there's not many guilds here that's why we joined the Huxin hunters guild that's the guilds name." Julian explains as we finish eating our full.
