[The host has received a new talent!]
At that mont, Maxi couldn't read all the notifications that had appeared one after the other.
He only felt one last burst of energy, almost alien to himself.
The spectral glow intensified around his wounds, miraculously driving the wooden stake from his body and healing the wound in no ti.
His body and soul were once again in very good condition, yet Maxi still wanted to close his eyes.
He felt that the new energy that had appeared and healed his wounds had done so at the cost of enormous ntal exhaustion.
But he managed to get up again, demonstrating a powerful will to live.
The giant orc was shocked; he had never seen such a tenacious human in his life.
At the sa ti, silhouette after silhouette appeared beside and in front of Maxi.
"Mission accomplished, chief. The villagers are safe."
A familiar voice crossed Maxi's ears, and he recognized the person who had said that.
It was Andrew!
"Guys, you shouldn't have co," Maxi replied with difficulty, but he was happy in his heart.
His whole body was still soaked with his own blood, proof of the deadly situation he'd just been through.
But he couldn't help smiling as imnse joy coursed through him.
How many people in the real world had such loyal n under their command?
His n were back!
Even the Count's apprentice knights had returned too.
"We will live and die with this group of rcenaries. Don't ever say that again, boss," Andrew replied firmly.
"You rarely get to see the chief in such a sorry state!" laughed Rodrigo.
"I'd like to see you there, Rodrigo, go ahead and load up the 4-ter orc and we'll see how you turn out," added Ernest provocatively."
"Always taking things at face value," replied Rodrigo, shrugging his shoulders.
Simultaneously, Laura jumped into Maxi's arms, embracing him with her warm shower.
And this ti it was for real.
Unfortunately, the scene wasn't so romantic, as both he and she were covered in blood.
The other rcenaries were also all more or less wounded, having fought hard against the orcs who had broken through Maxi's blockade.
But fortunately none of them had died, even the apprentice knights who hadn't had much combat experience were all still alive.
"I was so scared..." whispered Laura with great emotion.
"It's okay, everything's fine now," Maxi replied softly.
The rcenaries heard Maxi's words and all looked at each other to see if they had really heard correctly.
In the back of their minds, they wondered that if this situation for Maxi was under control, what kind of situation would it take for it to be out of control?
Perhaps with a god intervening?
But no one dared say anything, so as not to spoil the mont.
The orc at the stage of the great knight beca increasingly furious at seeing these humans return.
He had enough intelligence to know what this ant.
He had lost the orcs he had sent to kill the villagers.
So he roared with rage, and shouted in orcish:
"Kill those damned humans!"
The 6 orcs at knight stage and the hundred orcs at apprentice knight stage scread in rage in response and charged towards Maxi's small troop.
Maxi slowly extricated himself from Laura's embrace, and placed himself in front of the small troop of n, with a determination that seed almost supernatural.
As he did so, he took a spare sword from Andrew so as not to fight empty-handed.
However, a gentle voice reached his ears just then.
"Don't use Nox's talent, you risk permanently breaking your newly healed soul."
"Good luck my new protégé."
The voice ca from nowhere and left as it had co, disturbing Maxi.
How could a voice co from nowhere?
On the other hand, he also seed to have heard a voice filled with rage when he was about to beco unconscious.
Could he really be going mad?
Especially as he really intended to use his talent once again to get out of this situation.
This left him confused for a brief mont.
"I'll kill those orcs with or without talent," he thought firmly, clutching his sword with conviction.
But the reality was quite different.
Apart from him, when the orcs actually approached, his tired n found it hard to use their agility as before.
What's more, the advantage of agility had also diminished because of the number of orcs in front of them.
They couldn't move forward, and if they did, their companions at their side would find themselves in danger.
As a result, one rcenary or apprentice knight after another was wounded.
Maxi, with superhuman effort, kept intervening to save his n, each movent of his sword guided by incredible strength.
But the orcs were nurous, always too nurous.
The ground was soon covered in human and orc blood, but the rcenaries still managed to fight back fiercely.
They knew that if they suffered the orc attacks without retaliating, there would be only one end.
So they fought with all the courage they could muster.
Sohow, even when they suffered powerful blows from the 6 orcs at knight stage, they managed to get up and heal quickly.
Everyone guessed it had sothing to do with Maxi, but no one had ti to ask for details.
Gradually, the battle began to drag on, lasting several hours.
The number of orcs facing us had diminished significantly.
All that remained were thirty or so ordinary orcs, 4 orcs over 3 ters tall and their leader.
Of course, the 4-ter-plus orc had intervened several tis, but was blocked each ti by Maxi at the cost of serious injuries.
But the end was fast approaching, whether on the orc side or the human side.
Of the 25 n who had accompanied Maxi, only a dozen remained.
The rest were still alive, but they couldn't move a muscle, so they'd been rushed out by those still standing.
"Chief, if we don't find a solution soon, we'll soon be seeing so of our own dead," exclaid Andrew, who was dueling an orc over 3 ters tall.
Charles, Laura and Rodrigo took care of the remaining 3 with great difficulty, while Henry and Ultia miraculously managed to kill one orc each at the knight stage.
But the latter two never got up again after winning their duel, and were among the evacuees.
All the rcenaries would have died long ago had it not been for the blessing of Maxi's new talent.
On the other hand, Alden, Thomas, Theo, Lila and Caleb had long since been evacuated from the battlefield.
None of them had been able to stay on the battlefield for so long.
The longest to stay was Alden, with a record of one hour, which was more than admirable.
He had stayed until he lost consciousness.
Fortunately, Ernest was nearby and was able to evacuate him quickly.
It was at this point, when all seed lost, that a tremor ca from the ground.
It was so peculiar that everyone quickly recognized it.
A cavalry was approaching.
The individuals riding the horses in the distance could soon be recognized.
It was the Count, surrounded by over a hundred horsen.
Almost like a divine sword, the whole troop charged fearlessly towards the orcs.

The result was not long in coming: the orcs were utterly massacred by the terrifying force of the riders.
The frightened orcs, over 3 ters tall, tried to flee away from Maximus and his n.
But suddenly 2 n close to the Count jumped from their horses and blocked their path.
In no ti at all, each of the orcs was easily decapitated by these two n.
The 4-ter-high orc also took fright, and tried to flee, but was stopped by the Count himself, still on his horse.
"You dare to wreak havoc on my territory and now you want to flee like a coward?"
"Die."
The Count, still on his horse, swung his sword, and like a magic blow, a wave of energy was created and sliced the orc's body in two.
The orc could do nothing but die with rage and regret.
The battle finally over, the battlefield was plunged into a heavy silence.
The ground, reddened by the blood of both sides, was covered with the bodies of orcs.
The dozen or so remaining rcenaries stood panting.
But a furious rage began to boil within each of them.
If they had found themselves in such a situation, it was because of this man.
Who else but the man who had sent them here, giving them information far removed from reality, could be responsible?
If they hadn't had the ability to regenerate very quickly, they'd all have died here.
They all looked at the Count, standing calmly in front of the 4-ter orc, who seed to be thinking about sothing profound.
After a mont, he approached the rcenaries, followed by his n.
"Hello, Saber-toothed Tigers.
"I hope your whole family will soon be exterminated by the orcs."
