The surrounding environnt and the texture of the land have changed. The grass and trees are overgrown, and the ground is damp. Its not just because of the rain. All of a sudden, they had entered the realm of the Lizardman.
Where there were only soil, grass, and trees, traces of civilization were now visible. The eyes of many Lizardn did not move and looked at the strangers.
human?
Human? Here?
A low squeaking sound echoed everywhere. Delfino, unable to understand what that ant, was nervous and swallowed his dry saliva.
They didnt show any particular hostility, but this place was like an enemy camp. They couldnt trust each other.
The leader of the party, Ferocious Tooth, led Ivan and Delfino to the Lizardman Chief as soon as they arrived at the village.
As he entered the large building in the center of the village, he saw the Lizardman Chief. He stood with thick armor and a sharp spear.
Lizardn were generally larger than humans, but the Lizardman Chief seed to be about twice the size of them.
A reptile, much larger than a human, was standing on its two feet and staring at you, which made them felt quite pressured.
However, Ivan and Delfino did not change their expressions. Because the turmoil they had to go through in their lives was not easy to be scared just because they were large.
Lizardmans signature slurred language ca out of the chieftains mouth.
Right, I heard you speak our language.
Its good enough to have a conversation.
Its amazing. Its a little awkward, but not to the point where its annoying to hear. There were humans who used our language so skillfully.
Being able to communicate with each other ant that we could empathize with each other. The start wasnt bad.
So, how did you get here?
You may know, but the orcs are moving on a scale like never before. They attacked and seized the eastern part of the human kingdom. Were fighting them fiercely.
Is that so? Lately, the orcs have been a little noisy.
Its ridiculous. Ivan knew the orcs were aiming for the lizardns realm.
Ivan thought so to himself, but he pretended not to know.
We dont want those cruel and disgusting orcs to cross the mountains and invade human lands, because the battle in the east is enough already. Im here to stop it.
The Lizardman chief looked down at Ivan. The eyes of a yellow reptile with longitudinal pupils scanned his body. It wasnt a very pleasant look.
anwhile, Ivan was also looking at the Lizardman Chief and making judgnts in his head. (dlazarturead(dot)wordpress(dot)com)
Can I win if we fight?
It was Ivans habit to anticipate the victory or defeat of a battle when eting soone. Because in this strange land, everything in the world was a potential enemy to him.
Ivans eyes subsided a little, considering the Lizardman Chief, other Lizard warriors standing around him, and the environnt.
I dont think I can win.
He didnt properly check his movents or skills, but when he looked at his montum, the Lizardman Chief was a great man.
If we borrowed power from the gods of Asgard, the story would be different, but if we compare it purely with individual capabilities, Ivan was pushed back.
Strictly speaking, Ivan was a survival setting, not a body optimized for combat. Even if it was to hold on or run away, he lacked decisive power to defeat the opponent.
In the anti, he filled that deadly room with the power of God, but his pure skills other than that had many flaws.
In the end, when it mattered, he had no choice but to call on the na of God. Ivan was too weak to stand by his pride until the very end.
The orcs are aiming for human land, does that have anything to do with us?
It would have been irrelevant if you hadnt intervened.
If they run away from our territory and return to theirs, there is no reason to intervene.
At that, Ivan chuckled.
So did they say they were going back? Or did they kindly ask you to borrow a road to go attack the humans?
He doesnt like a continent ruled by humans. They will try to create their own country.
The orcs, the greenskins rebelled, and made the blood alliance, but that was not for good.
To put it bluntly, this is a territorial battle with humans, because it is far from a matter of belief in creating a world where demi human can live freely.
From the Lizardmans point of view, humans or orcs are the sa. Even though humans are further away, orcs are right next to them, so theyll do more damages.
I wont tell you to trust humans. But that doesnt an the orcs can be trusted.
I will attack the Ming Dynasty, so please lend a way.
So was that really a kind offer? So did Joseon lend the road? If the road had been ekly lent, the Imjin War would not have happened? Whether its to attack humans or not, they cant stand the presence of orcs nearby.
There is a saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. If we share the sa enemy, we can work together.
Then the Lizardman chief kept his mouth shut for a long ti, and then made a squeaky sound. Ivan knew that that was the typical laughter of Lizardn.
Humans speak really smooth. So what do you want?
I already told you. I hope the orcs dont cross the mountain range.
That ans you want us to be active. What are you going to pay for that hot blood?
Are you looking for the remains of Morna the snake god? I have information about her.
At those words, the montum of all the Lizardn around changed. It was because he ntioned an existence that should never be recklessly put in his mouth.
The snake god Morna, the goddess worshiped by lizardn and naga.
Waking up the old god who had fallen asleep was a long-cherished dream of the Lizardman. At least for them, it was sothing that was incomparably more important than the Orcs wandering around.
Do you understand what that ans and spit it out?
Facing the sharp gaze of the Lizardman chief, Ivan nodded his head dignifiedly.
Theres no reason to co all the way here and talk nonsense. The information is clear.
Are you sure? I dont think you should say that?
Because Im confident.
Ivan just exclaid.
Actually, his mory is hazy, but what do they know? Its not that there arent any clues at all, so just throw in a keyword and theyll find out themselves.
If he showed a lack of self-confidence here, they would imdiately get suspicious and got eaten by the situation. Rather, if he went out boldly, his opponent will think about what this bastard is up to. (dlazarturead(dot)wordpress(dot)com)
Ill have to think a little bit. Ill give you a room. Wait there for an answer.
It wont take long.
Since they were arguing with each other, Delfino had no idea what was going on, and finally heard an explanation at the dorm. Then, Delfinos expression changed very subtly.
Uh, isnt this a bit serious?
Morna, the snake god, has been silent for hundreds of years. However, it was strange that Ivan, the warrior of Asgard, not the Lizardn or Naga, knew the clue.
Information is incomplete, but not false.
Is that so? Then, the dungeon we were looking for is
No, that has nothing to do with Morna the snake god. Since the situation has changed, I thought I would have to take out sothing a little stronger and make them react, so I shouted it out loud.
He didnt have the confidence to lead the situation by conversation. So he shook the fishing rod with a bait that they cant resist.
Even now, the Orcs were moving, so the situation was not easy, but the Lizardn were also excited. They wanted to quickly confirm the truth of Ivans words.
I will accept your offer, but first you will have to tell us the information you have.
Alright. There must be an altar to the snake god Morna under the violent lake to the northwest. If you check it, youll know that Im not lying.
If you go northwest from here, it overlaps with the path of the Orcs.
Ivan proudly opened his chest at the suspicious look in his eyes, wondering if he was only intending to use them.
If you dont believe even though I gave you the clues, well have to leave. Ive chosen the wrong partner.
Then the Lizardman Chief replied with a more relaxed attitude.
We are not ungrateful. If you have received anything, you should be able to repay it. Morna, the snake god, is watching this.
If the na of the snake god Morna was put forward, the Lizardn would comply with the contract. But it was also a warning at the sa ti. If what Ivan said was a lie, it ans that they would never forgive him.
My gods are also watching from Asgard.
Whiing-.
Chiikky!
As Ivan gently drew the divine power, the Lizard Man nodded his head. You cant believe in humans, but to doubt the warrior who took the gods na out of their faith is like saying theyre asking for a fight.
Then its decided. Lets go! Lets go find our god!
thud!
When the chief shouted so, all the Lizardn around them responded by thumping their feet on the floor. They applauded, raised their arms and cheered.
The warriors were ready in no ti. Each of them raised their weapons and waited for the chiefs instructions.
The chieftain wanted to move on his own, but he couldnt fully trust Ivans words, so he made Ferocious Tooth the captain. Ferocious Tooth was the leader of the group who guided Ivan and Delfino here.
Go! Kill the enemies who stand in the way and bring back our god!
Ivan and Delfino stayed one day in the village of Lizardn and headed back to the forest. The goal is to annihilate the wild lake to the northwest and the orcs that they will encounter in between.
Whatever the process was, in the end I moved them, so its half successful.
Ivan muttered to himself and frowned slightly. This is because the orcs troops that Lizardman had heard were much greater than expected.
Now that they were fighting fiercely in the east, he thought that this route over the mountain range wouldnt be much of a threat. It should be avoided, but he thought it would be easy to deal with.
However, the number of troops the Orcs put in was beyond imagination. There was a reason for the Lizard n to co out of their territory and be wary. Almost thousands of orcs camped in the mountain range.
It wasnt that much when he ca in to catch the golden boar, but it has grown so much since then? It was serious.
Is it because of him? It was a gaze that recognized him for so reason, but at first glance, he let it go. No matter how much he thought about it, it was overly self-conscious. (dlazarturead(dot)wordpress(dot)com)
Was it really because of him, that they pulled out thousands of troops and sent them to this place? Theres no way, right?
When he left the village of Lizardman and entered the depths of the forest, he felt sothing subtle. Ominous air clings to the body.
The forest was so quiet. The forest has never been such a quiet place.
As Ivan drew his sword, everyone around him began to get nervous. Everyone didnt say a word, but they seed to sense sothing strange.
There was no attack even though they moved like that for a while.
Ivan could never have liked it. he felt like his nerves were slowly being gnawed. It was an unfamiliar feeling.
were surrounded. It seems to be getting tighter.
At that mont, the sound of a horn rang out that woke the quiet forest.
boo-.
Boo-, boo-.
Ivan fixed his sword.
The enemy is coming.
