Red Orcs

A loud shout from the orcs signalled the start of a new day for Elric, thankfully he had already gotten used to their noisy behaviours during the course of the trip.

as he opened his eyes Elric was surprised to discover that almost everyone had woken up.

"Young master, shall we start moving now?" It was Davis who spoke up judging by his appearance, he had also woken up a lot earlier.

"Not yet, we have to wait for everyone to get ready. Go get George and make sure the others don't forget anything" Sitting on a nearby rock Elric began to think about his plans for the day.

"given our current pace and the shaman's description of the distance, we would most likely end up there just before nightfall" 

"Not good, if we get there by nightfall there is no guarantee they'll let us in at that time" Shaking his head it seems we have to pick up the pace.

Fortunately, at this time both the tribesmen and the goblins were ready.

"Haha Human, I see you have woken up! then let us set off!" As always Zriork once again took the lead in guiding them to the town.

"Young master lets go"

"Elric let's move" seeing George and Davis also pressing him on it seemed there was no need to say anything regarding the pace of the trip. With a wry smile, Elric joined the rest of the tribesmen.

And so the journey began, though there was the occasional discovery of some strange fruits and and and weird insects there was unexpectedly no danger. Contrary to Eric's impression of a 'magical forest' however before he could delve deeper into it, a hint of red flashed in his eyes.

[Warning! Warning! Unknown creatures are approaching!]

The A.I. Chip's voice sounded out, and red warning words appeared in front of Elric's eyes, instantly attracting his attention.

"Quick! Scan the area around me now!"

With a frown on his face, Elric immediately told Zriork and the others to slow down their pace.

A virtual map was projected in front of his eyes courtesy of the A.I. and the results were not looking good. A large group of red dots were quickly approaching their direction.

[Beep! According to physical similarities and database knowledge, a large group of orcs are approaching.]

"Orcs?" Elric's eyes narrowed as he recalled that Zriork talked about a traitor earlier; it seemed the traitor did not just leave their group but rather brought reinforcements.

"Considering the strength of the average goblin compared to the tribesmen most of them would surely be wiped out before we reach the town!" Thinking of the current situation Elric quickly called toward the shaman, George, and Davis while he left the others to Zriork.

with the arrival of the three, he immediately started to reveal the current situation in a low tone "we seem to be in a bad situation"

George looked around, seeing Zriork in the crowd flexing his muscles and laughing compared to the contrasting gloomy look on Elric's face, he could help but ask: "What's the situation?"

with a serious face, Elric began to explain his observation. As he spoke to the goblin shaman on the side, he seemed to have guessed one or two immediately, putting on a gloomy face.

"Damn Clelut!" He's probably the one that led them over, trembling angrily the shaman had already guessed the perpetrator

"Clelut?" hearing the unfamiliar name George ad Davis couldn't help but ask.

"Yes Clelut, he's the traitor I told you about, and he's most likely led reinforcement of the red skin tribe to us" As the shaman spoke both Davis and George understood why Elric looked so gloomy. After all, given the current tribe state, any head-on conflict with a horde of orcs would most likely lead to serious casualties.

"What should we do?"

[Warning! Warning! Unknown creatures are approaching!] however the A.I's warning came up again giving them no time to plan anything 

"No need to do anything, take everyone to form a defensive circle behind us" As Elric spoke a tinge of black smoke flashed in his eye, one that no one seemed to notice.

Immediately after giving the order, with the help of Davis, George, and the shaman things were arranged quickly while Elric gave Zriork a quick update.

"ketttttttttttt!"

By the time both goblins and tribesmen had formed a defensive circle a long and drawn-out shout came out from the opponent's side, filled with the drive to make his presence known.

All around, all opposing orcs started to shout, with the continuous shouting they finally appeared in everyone's vision

A group of about forty red goblins stood in his front, the leader with a height of about 7 feet similar to Zriork, wearing an animal loincloth embroidered with the skulls of various animals and two large hammers in his right and left hands. 

Unlike the Iconic shaman, who stood beside the red orc leader was a regular green goblin which would most likely be the traitor Clelut in the shaman's mouth.

"Clelut! what are you doing here!" gritting his teeth, like the rest of the green goblins, Zriork immediately became angry upon seeing Clelut.

"Ohh, if it isn't the mighty Lord Zriork who ran away from home" obviously not paying attention to Zriork, Clelut begins to taunt him. 

"And what's this?, I see you've gotten yourself a few human pets". pointing out as soon as he notices the tribesmen behind the green skins.

"That's enough Clelut! I am your chie-"

"you were my chief, now you're a coward who abandoned his home" interrupting Zriork, Clelut spoke once again this time causing more of an outrage than before.

The bickering between the two of them seemed to put the two-sided at an awkward stall thus giving Elric enough time to ask his A.I. for a solution.

"A.I. chip given our circumstance, deduce the best escape plan with zero casualties"

[Task established!]

[Deducing results....]

[Ten escape plans deduced...]

[Considering zero casualties....]

[One result found!]

Seeing the result Elric breathed a sigh of relief "It seems we are not making it to town before nightfall" with a sigh he immediately began to take a look at the A.I's results
