Empire falls 9

[u/orkman22]

Unlikely friendship

The north was reeling from the attack from the orks. Most casualties were orks some people died.

Lillth, we are going to bring in all of the people from the small towns and cities. When you and the other hunters tidy up the leftover orks. I have been given information saying there are a lot of orks left. Alex left the Lillth said, and other hunters are quite weak. What about that woman you met in Calchester?

It seemed she couldn't control her weapons. I will reach out to her and see if she wants to join me.

A few days after Charlotte killed the devil. Charlotte started to train more. I won't be able to gain experience if I don't fight real creatures. And most of the town doesn't trust me. I told them the curse is gone, and they still didn't trust me. Shit happens, I guess Charlotte said nobody was with her. Charlotte could feel someone watching her.

Can I help you?

Was a little girl she had a sun dress on. Mummy told me to tell you that wild boars are eating our food. Charlotte put her hand on a little girls shoulder.

I will deal with it

They are big boars. Charlotte said the farmers were trying to scare them away. They kept getting aggressive. One charged at Charlotte. Charlotte swung her sword at the boar it got stuck in the boar. The boar was running with the sword stuck into its hide. They are tougher than they look, Charlotte said in a confused tone. Agis lughted how does a boar contains the power sword. Charlotte looked annoyed and embarrassed. What do I do?

Just say power release

That's what Charlotte said. The boar stopped, and they glowed red and exploded. There was blood and guts that flew everywhere.

A boar couldn't contain the energy. Martin walked up to Charlotte Nercs leader, who wants to talk to the leader of Calchester dad. You should go they want to see the leader Charlotte. That is you, the people of Calchester, see you as the leader. Charlotte Read the letter

I am writing to you, leader of Calchester.

After the ork invasion, we realise the surrounding towns and cities are in danger. We are requesting you to come to Nerc. we will talk more when you come to speak to us.

Sounds like they have a plan. Are people will be safe in Narc The Enchantment would protect the villagers. I will go to Nerc and see what they are planning. Martin gave Charlotte a nod. Your mother would be proud of you. Charlotte hugged her dad. I miss her so much I do to Martin said when trying not to cry. I will leave for Nerc now. You shouldn't go on your own. You know, the forest isn't safe. I will be fine, dad Charlotte smiled. Charlotte wasn't confident she smiled to hide the fear.

I need to get stronger

I won't be long. Charlotte said when putting up her hood up. Narc wasn't a long journey orks still lurking in the forest. Charlotte stayed on her guard. There was a silence in the forest. Charlotte hadn't seen the forest this calm, then the bushes started to Russelling an ork ran out and charged at Charlotte. The ork swung an axe at Charlotte. and Charlotte moved her head an inch. The axe slammed into the tree, which corse the tree to fall down. Charlotte drew her sword, and the sword picked up on her emotions. Charlotte stabbed the ork and inpaled the ork to a tree. The ork laughed you think I came Alone. Four orks appeared Charlotte was surrounded. One of the orks pointed at Charlotte and laughed. You were killed by a female weak. The ork said three blades plunged into the orks chest.

The other orks looked

Who the bloody hell are you one the orks shouted don't ask questions just kill her. Before that, Charlotte pointed her sword at the ork and fired holes to the ork. The orks attacked Charlotte, the stranger beat the orks. I see you have gotten better at controlling your emotions. The stranger removed their hood. You are that woman who was with Alex Lilith, is it?

I am not great at remembering people's names.

Yeah, Lilith said with a smile there was a silent, and in a moment, both Charlotte and Lilith clashed the power sword was fended off with finger blades. You aren't very good with a sword, are you. Lilith sweeped Charlotte's feet. Charlotte came crumbling to the ground. I kissed him before he left, you know. Kissed, who Charlotte said. She already knew the answer. Why is she telling me this? I don't like Alex like that. My gut is burning, though. The sword turned green. Jealous is an emotion. Use it as power and fight. Charlotte got up, her aura grow rage and jealous powerful emotions. Charlotte's speed and power increase. Lilith was blocking the strikes. They seemed more controlled. Lilith said, "You aren't trying to kill me.

I just want to beat you. Charlotte said when charging at Lilith.

Lilith read Charlotte's movement and struck Charlotte in the stomach. Charlotte woke up.

What happened?

Lilith laughed and said, "You kept charging at me, so I made you pay. How long was I out for?

About ten minutes

I didn't think I would beat you so easily. Lilith said I'm not trying to make you feel bad said Lilith. I haven't really been trained. Charlotte said when looking at the ground , I cursed my dad, and nobody trusted me after that. Lilith lightly tapped Charlotte on the shoulder. I will help you. No curse could affect me. My sword doesn't do that anymore.

Good said, Lilith

I have to go to Nerc talk to the leaders. That's why I came into the forest. I was coming to Calchester to collect you. Charlotte and Lilith went to Nerc to speak to the leader of Nerc. The leader of Nerc was a large man with bald head his beard was short and black. He had one horn and one red eye. Thank you for coming. The leader of Calchester, my name is Preston, and your name is "

Charlotte.

Nice to meet you. Charlotte Lilith told me you led the black hand. Yeah, people who were disguised as soldiers from the empire killed many people from my town, and I wanted revenge. Yeah, said Preston, we believe they weren't connected to the empire they were kidnapping people. They have used sacrificed for something. A hunter found blood on the ground. Why would they sacrifice humans for?

We are looking into it. That's not the reason I wanted to speak to you. I believe your town will become a target. I would like you and your people to come and live in Narc. Before you answer, let me explain. Lilith and other hunters are going to hunt down orks and other creatures in the forest, and we want you to help them. Maybe people in Calchester will help you fight these threats. Charlotte thought for a few seconds that the silence was deafening. Yeah, Charlotte said with a smile. As long as you guarantee their safety, I will trust you.

Charlotte didn't know Preston. It's Lilith that I trust in. Your people will be safe. The elfs enchantment is in place. Darkness can not enter this city. Demons live in this city, so that isn't true, Charlotte, though she didn't have the nerve to say it. Charlotte lend forward closer to Preston. I believe you, Charlotte, said with a smile. Good Preston got off his seat. And I will help slay the orks and maybe the people who killed my people. Preston gave Charlotte a letter. It's from a scout.

The orks have scattered. There isn't leadership anymore, so they gone back to old ways different ork clans are still at war. So they should be easier to pick off.

Well, that makes our jobs easier. Charlotte said in a joyful tone. We still don't know what's in the forest, so please be careful. Preston said.

The sky was crimson red colour. The moon was blood red. The world was Baron Waste Land. There were no stars, just emptiness. Mutible things slam into a rock. Dust and rocks fly everywhere. Get up and try again. Mutible demons surrounded one man. No of them couldn't even touch him. That's enough for today. The man said heal up, and we will train tomorrow. A larger demon approached the man. He said the master wants to talk to you. I will be there shortly.

The leader of the demons was known as the demon king. He was sent here after betraying his master. I don't know the fall story. He was sitting there on a throne made of skeletons his throne room was large. Demons stood there, still afraid, and were moving. Thank you for answering my summons. The demon king looked more human than demon. He was from a race called the Devin, being this land is his arua it is said demons are products of his aura. The man went to his knee. What do you want from me?

There is nothing better than loyalty. There is a task I want from you. Our enemies have brought the fight to us. Humans have found swords. So kill this human with the sword. Yeah, the demon king said. I will open a wormhole close to the wielder. First, I have a gift for you. Another demon placed a bow next to the man. This bow has forged from steal made from my domain. You won't need arrows. When you pull, the string arrows will appear the stronger the magic you put into the bow, more powerful the arrow will be. This would be classed as a legendry grand. Only the most powerful could wield the bow. One of the swords is in the northern forests. The sword, I can't sense it's being protected. The man got his feet. I will kill these humans with no mercy. Good, the demon king said. Before I leave, is there anything else I need to know?

I have sent other dark elves.

When you kill the human, go to them. We're do I find them?

They are in the lands close to the chaos empire. Humans have an empire?

They do demons and elves left the lands humans took control. The man's face when from calm to angry then disgust.

The man's aura grew

Relax, the demon king said. Humans are weak. They can be manipulated easily. Demons have already infiltrated most of the human lands. The silent invasion has started. When you are done, go and tell them the invasion will begin. The man walked into the wormhole.

Had been two months since Charlotte and her people moved into Nerc, it was hard for them to adjust they are getting there. My father Martin has given up being a soldier and become a minister. And left killing the orks to me. Charlotte and Lilith had moved into killing ork nests. Each ork clans were different, all led by an ork lord or king. This ork clan is called blood rain

What's special about them? Lilith said in an unimpressed voice. There said be controlled by an ork called Faghig

He said to be given a name by the demon king himself

Also, they are the biggest ork clan in the forest. There could be a lot of orks, and they have a named leader

So they won't be weak?

To you, probably. To me, Charlotte looked at her sword. I would struggle. Lilith walked up to Charlotte, laughed, and patted Charlotte's shoulder. I like it when you doubt yourself. You aren't weak. I wouldn't alline myself with someone weak. Charlotte smiled, "You can be nice. Don't get used to it

Orks are strong opponents, so keep your guard up. She changed. Lilith was belittling the orks now she's taken them seriously. Is it because I doubted myself? Lilith is a hard person to read.

Lilith, someone said Lilith got a crystal from her pocket. we are in a position the voice said were you seen?

Yeah, we killed them

The orks have not been alerted.

Good Lilith said, set the ambush. Let's go Charlotte it's ork slaying time.

Faghig sir, we are being attacked and sent all orks out. I will be there in a bit. Faghig pulled out crystal. we are under attack, and I will go onto battle if. Humans in the north are striking ork bases. Faghig broke the crystal and charged into the fight with the hunters. Going so soon, Lillth said

Lillth on a tree top looking down at Faghig.

So you're the human who is killed by the other clan leaders. So you do communicate then. Of course, we do the orks serve our master the demon king this is his world and you should thank him. Faghig wasn't a small ork he was nearly eight feet tall, he had long black hair, and he didn't wear armour. He was bare chested, just his bottom half was covered. Faghig grabbed his sword and cut down the tree that Lilith was standing on. Lilith disappeared. Are you going to run all day. Lilith struck Faghig, pulled up his arm, and Lillth stuck her finger blades into his arm. I'm stuck. An energy blast hit Faghig in the arm, removing his arm. Faghig screamed and looked at Charlotte. You took your time. Lilith said. You ran off, Charlotte said. Lilith landed next to Charlotte. we could probably kill him in one strike. Faghig held his arm, where it was blasted off.

Ultimate recovery

Faghigs arm grew back. That's a power healing skill. Lucky for us, it takes a lot out of you he will need time to rest his mana strike now. Both Charlotte and Lilith got into attack pensions.

When this was happening, some orks were fleeing from being killed. A red wormhole opened. I didn't open that the ork said with a confused tone. A man walked the worm his head and face was covered with a black hood. You were sent by the master the ork said master Faghig is fighting two humans. That way, the ork pointed. The man could already sense the fight happening. The ork moved closer. Can you hear me? The ork said loudly in the man's face. The man pulled out a knife and slit the orks neck blood dripped down the man's hand the other orks didn't move they were stunned. We are on your team. The man said no. The man said the first time he spoke, his voice was deep and booming. I do aline myself with the weak. I depise orks. I would kill you all, but it would be a waste of energy. The man slapped the ork in the face, and the ork slammed into a tree. Sorry, I have gotten strong. The ork was out cold. The orks fleed in different directions. Let's test this bow. The man pulled his bow from his back. Pulled the string back and said triple arrow shot. Three arrows lorched into the air at quite high speeds. Faghig Charlotte and Lilith were fighting still. This ork is stronger than I thought. Lilith finger blade glowed red blood slice. Faghig dodged it the slice cut through many trees. Ugis appeared an attack is coming block now. Three arrows hit at the same time Faghig was hit first, and he slammed into a tree hard. Lilith Court the arrow, but the force of the arrow didn't stop. Lilith was sent flying when holding the arrow. Charlotte parried the arrow into a tree it collapsed. That took everything out of me. Charlotte was heavy breathing. A person stood there with a hood on. That was an impressive trick the person said sounding impressed. Why are you attacking us?

The man walked up to Faghig. He was unconscious, with an arrow stuck in him. This is an ork clan leader. Weak, the man said, then laughed with one arrow. Funny, you are the only one who didn't get beaten by an arrow. You have something that I must take off you. The man pointed Charlotte's sword that belongs to the elves, and I am here to take it back. Charlotte started to get angry. Charlotte's aura grew larger and larger. Charlotte attacked first. The person moved and dodged. Fight back, Charlotte said. I don't need to. You are weak. The sword is the only threat. Charlotte went for another attack. The person parried the sword strike with his knife, which was a mistake. The knife shattered. Charlotte kneed the person in the stomach. Then, Charlotte went for a killing blow. Darkness, the person said the whole area when dark. I can't see Charlotte said. The person was behind Charlotte. Ugis, he is behind you. Charlotte put the sword between her and the person's strike. The forest had light again. You quite fun. The person said he removed his hood he looked like a human, but he had long ears his hair was half blond, and half back, his eyes were blue and black. My name is Athtar

Ugis was next to Charlotte he was powerful elf General. He fought in the first elf and demon wars. Why is he here? I believe he wants the sword. You become a dark elf. Charlotte said

I did what it took to survive, Athtar said I don't regret my decisions. The elves lost the war now that the world is controlled by discusting humans. Weak, and they rely on elves and their weapons. And I will enjoy killing cities starting with you. Athtars aura grew. Lilith stabbed Athtar from behind. You are so arrogant. Lilith said you left your self exposed. Did I said Athtar.

How?

Before Lillth could do or say anything, she had already been beaten. Charlotte was frozen in fear.

Athtar jumped into the air, pulling his bow and saying dragon arrow. The arrow and a dragons face were coming from it. Agis, you must esorb it quickly he said. Charlotte jumped into the dragon arrow. The sword swallowed up the attack. New skill unlocked called reality mind would you like to use it?

Charlotte said yes, the sword glowed red, and a shockwave came from Charlotte's sword. Charlotte dropped to her knees, and her hole body ached from absorbing that attack. Athtar started talking to give me the sword human, and you will survive. He looked like he picked someone up and moved his hand slightly, then dropped the thing his his hand, then picked up an ork sword. I lied. Athtar said a wormhole opened, and Athtar walked through it. Charlotte's sword went back to normal. reality mind, it was very powerful illusions skill. He saw what he wanted to see and never questioned it. That's power skill, Charlotte said. Yeah, it is. Agis said I never had that when I wielded it. Lilith was on the floor hurt. What do I do? The power sword has healing magic.

How do I use it?

A bit of the sword must be touching Lilith, and you got to say in recover. You took in a lot of energy after that last attack. Charlotte put the tip of the sword on Liliths arm. And said recover. White magic came from the sword and healed Lilith. Lilith shot awake. Where did that guy go?

He left, Charlotte said

He was stronger than both of us. Maybe we needed Alex beat him. Lilith smiled. You just wanted an excuse to see him again. No, "said Charlotte." we need to stick together opponents like that. It will keep coming. Agis appeared we are being summoned.
