As Luis said this, everyone turned their heads in his direction. They were secretly listening to the conversation and were shocked by the declaration of Luis.
At this mont, clapping was heard from above the stairs.
A middle-aged man appeared, with the receptionist following behind him. The man had a military aura surrounding him.
He was the one clapping as he approached Luis.
"Louis Hartmann, you are just like your father. No, even your father was not so good at your age."
Luis observed the approaching man, curious about his identity.
"I am Samuel Hodson, the chief commander of this Orc Fighting Frontline."
Luis imdiately stood up and perford a knightly salute, recognizing the authority of the chief commander. The Chief Commander is the supre leader of frontline bases. Luis will at least show so basic courtesy and not show any disrespect. A lot of troubles can be avoided this way.
"Asmon retreat, I want to have so private talk with Luis."
Asmon, hearing this, stood up and walked away; while walking, he glanced back at Luis.
"Luis, your previous speech was really good, but don't say it out so loudly. I felt a bit cringe listening to it," he teased with a playful smirk on his face before disappearing from view.
"He is my nephew; don't take his words seriously. He has been playful since childhood.
Luis nodded hearing this, but his mind wandered around. He himself felt a little embarrassed after saying it out loud. It would have been better if he stayed silent.
"Why do you want to see , sir?" Luis questioned Samuel after coming back to his senses.
"Wait!" Samuel looked back at everyone who was secretly eavesdropping on them. He released the aura covering his body.
Seeing this, everyone fled from the scene. If one is strong enough, even a crowded place can be a private place.
"I have already punished Theodore." Samuel began speaking.
"The War Council wanted to punish you as well, but since you've brought in the head of the tribe leader orc, your punishnt will be revoked."
"Instead, you will get war rit."
Luis nodded heavily when he heard this. He knows about the war rit system.
"For directly taking down an Orc tribe that was causing trouble, I will give you 5,000 rit."
5,000 rit directly equals to 5,000 gold coins. Many strategic items that are hard to buy can be bought through this credit too.
"Your father and I were comrades years ago. He saved my life back then. As his son, I will do my best to help you." Samuel continued, his tone softening a bit.
"Sir, I want to know what these orcs are planning. Why are these orcs acting like cowards?" Luis questioned his doubt the mont he got the permission.
Samuel beca serious when he heard this.
"If you really want to know, then follow ." With that said, he began to walk towards the upper floor.
Luis face beca serious as he followed Samuel. It seems so great secret is going to be revealed.
They both quickly reached the third floor of the building. There Luis saw a magic pillar that was glowing with a blue light.
He is very familiar with this, as there is one in his barony too, managed by his mother.
"This is a magic pillar, which captures all the information that is sent from the battlefield through the Magic Scroll."
Luis nodded, indicating that he was familiar with it.
"Soti ago, after your father returned to your barony, we lost many of our squads due to frequent sneak attacks of Orcs."
"Sir, I don't understand why these orcs are acting intelligent. They are usually not like this, right?"
Samuel's eyes beca serious when he heard the question.
"Those orcs, there are creatures born from the experints of ancient wizards. They were created to fight against the abyss creatures. To do so, they were given a special bloodline—one that consus their sanity in exchange for raw power." Read new chapters at empire
He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in.
"Thousands of years later, their bloodline has been perfected bit by bit. Now, they can think properly, and they've learned to use strategies."
"Ti will tell if these newly evolved orcs, capable of thought and strategy, are more dangerous than the reckless, raging orcs of the past."
Luis eyes darkened when he heard this: Too dangerous world. This world is too dangerous. It is constantly at war, and those abyss creatures, dragons, and many different races are still hiding sowhere.
"Sir, I noticed they sprang into action after my father returned to barony. Is there any connection?"
Samuel raised his eyebrows in surprise at the question.
"You think a lot for soone your age," he remarked with a slight smile, but then his expression turned more serious.
"But you're not wrong. There is a connection. The Orc Prince fears your father greatly. He has suffered a loss once."
Luis smirked, listening to Samuel.
"So what is the plan, sir?" Do humans have any plans?"
"Two months from now, Earl Isaac will enter the war. This will be the final great war between humans and orcs. Kingdom wants to end this war quickly as the Beast n are also waging the wars."
Samuel said, pointing towards information in the Magic Pillar. There was a ssage.
[
To War Council,
Subject: Urgent Request for Assistance—Beast n Incursion
I, Baron Delano, submit this urgent plea for military support. The Beast n have begun causing significant unrest along the borders of my territory, threatening the safety and stability of our region. Their numbers and aggression are increasing rapidly, and we are in need of reinforcents to prevent further escalation.
I respectfully request imdiate assistance from the Kingdom to counter this growing threat. Without swift intervention, the situation may soon spiral beyond control.
Your tily response will be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Baron Delano
Protector of the Borderlands

"You see this, the kingdom wants peace in Northern Wasteland, at least for now," Samuel said gravely.
"When the war starts in the South, it will be much greater than in the North. So, there will be a final deciding war here."
"In the south, it will not only be beast n that attack; there will be many goblins, dark elves, and other races."
Luis nodded and stared at the magic pillar with a serious face, hoping to see any other ssages.
"No need to keep looking," Samuel said, also glancing at the pillar. "The information from the south is limited."
"Since you've shown the ability to take down an orc tribe on your own, I'm granting you permission to form your own force. You'll have the freedom to roam the battlefield." Samuel gave Luis a clear direction.
"Your mission is simple: kill as many orcs as you can."
Luis stood proudly, performing a knight salute: "Rest assured, sir, I will kill all the orcs that are on my way."
"Good, you can retreat now."
