RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse-Novel

"Humph! Come one! Let's move!" Mina shouted, causing everyone to snap out of their daze and follow after Mina as they quickly retreated.

On the battlefield, the orcs' flanks were all in a disarray. A strange occurrence was happening: a strange fog was appearing all over the side of their flanks, and then when it lifted, hundreds of their brothers would be dead. "What is going on!?"

"Leader, we have an issue with our flanks!" An orc soldier yelled out.

"What's wrong!? Just keep moving forward. If a few hundred of us are dying, then so be it! We just need to keep marching, or else the orc king will turn us into food! Actually, take the dead and send it to the rear! Let it feed His Majesty!" The orc leader on the war elephant answered. He could see something was off with how things were, but he could not stop. He did not want to be the orc king's dinner!

"As you command…." The orc soldier's eyes went dim. Morale was low. Many of his brothers were all in fear of dying. Normally they would be united when it came to war, but this trip has taken a toll on them with the lack of food. Those who collapsed were brought to the rear to feed the generals and the king. It was not fair to those who were on the front lines. But no one dared to rise up and challenge the orc king. He was just too powerful.

"Attack!" Regia yelled out as she ordered her units to once more to attack the orcs. The pixies would create an illusionary fog that the orcs would quickly fall under the illusion due to the pixies targeting their biggest weakness. They would see naked women beckoning them to do them! This made for quite some horrible scenes as some orcs would grab the brother in front of them.  But luckily, they would not be able to do much before they were all bombarded by the fairies' magic.

"Good! Move out!" Regia ordered. Her units would turn tail and run.

Mina's units were doing the same thing one after the other. They attacked and worked their way down the lines before moving back. Only on the fifth run did she notice no reaction from the orcs. Somewhere even pulling the dead from the battlefield and sending them towards the back. Pondering for a moment, she sent a message to the frontline. "General Bret, something is wrong."

"Hmmm? Mina, what's the matter? Are you guys okay?" Bret asked worriedly. If something happened to Blake's wife, all hell would break loose!

"I am fine, but the orcs are strange. They do not seem to have much energy. It's like they are just marching with no reason. The dead are being taken to the back line. Can you ask General Onz what this is all about?" Mina could only think of Onz to get an answer for this.

"Hold on, he is here with me. I will ask." Bret turned and looked at Onz, "Onz…." Bret explained the situation. The more he said, the more Onz's expression turned bad.

"The orc king is not letting them rest, and because of that, the food supply is low. They can not go out and hunt. If the dead orcs are being sent to the rear line, the generals and the orc king are eating them while the others starve. This battle will be over not too long after it starts. That idiot has no idea how to march with an army!" Onz was pissed. He never realized the orc king was such an idiot! To think he would not even take into consideration the condition of his men. He had felt that they were moving a bit too fast. While he was going to be killing his own kin, he still did not like this kind of treatment towards one's own men. This was what angered him.

"You hear that?" Bret asked Mina.

"Yeah… So we can just go all out blowing the fuckers away, right?" Mina asked, causing Bret to choke on air. He forgot this little fairy was a damn battle maniac too!

"Nah, fall back! We will wait for them here. I want everyone to get a chance to get some experience. Once you are back, we will begin our long distance bombardment," Bret answered. He knew Blake would want this too.

"Got it. I will relay the order to retreat to Regia." Mina replied before changing frequencies. "Regia, we are falling back to the defensive line. No need to continue."

"Got it. But Madam Mina, don't you think they are strange?" Regia also noticed the strangeness within the orc's army.

"Yeah, I already reported it to General Bret. General Onz, said it was a supply issue. They are eating their own kind. This is normal for orcs." Mina explained. "Ignore it, and let's head back."

"Roger!" Regia quickly told her units to gather. Once everyone was gathered together, they all retreated back to the defensive line.

Front defensive line Bret stood on top of the trenches and looked out towards the forest in front of them. They could hear the trees falling and cracking as the orcs continued forward. Blake landed next to him and asked: "Bret, what's up? Your face doesn't look good."

"I was just thinking. How many orcs can we get on our side?" After hearing Mina's report, Bret really wondered if they could turn some of these orcs on their side and really build up a massive force.

"Haha! I was thinking the same thing! But before that happens, we will end up having to fight most of them no matter what. We will take in those who surrender. Because I know even if we killed the orc king, they probably would still fight us." Blake replied.

"Well, we can always try. From what Mina told me, the orcs are not in high spirits. It seems they had not eaten much since they started their march. We are basically going against a zombie force, but this also worries me. If they have not eaten and are very hungry, they will attack without care to use us as food." Bret has been worrying about this since he heard the report. He did not wish to see anyone being pulled down and eaten alive. Such a death was not something anyone should experience.

"Don't worry. I will kill anyone who is unsavable to save them from this fate. I will burn their bodies into ash so they can not become food."
