There was a soft resounding thumping. It had a rhythm to it, a march. This was the sound of the Sanctuary orcs as they advanced through the orc thickets and drew closer to the Bloodrain tribe.
There was however a stark difference in the number of orcs Ed brought with him currently. That was because they had gained an added 46 to their number of about 20 armored orcs.
These orcs had obviously been acquired in their travel towards Bloodrain. Ed originally believed getting to the tribe would be easy and quick but as it turned out, Dakgu was not a living map.
He had never even visited the area so to expect him to lead them there in one go in the pitch black was a pipe dream. It was also impossible for the orcs to remain energetic after trekking with heavy armor through a forest past their bedtime.
Ah! Where is your stockpile dear author?!? I'll tell you where dearest reader... it went to crap! Damn it, it was only possible last time because I was approaching the weekend.
But fear not, I am not yet resigned. Previously I gave up too soon, I can do it this time! Sure I'm busier now than before but it's all the more reason to try and get ahead.
I think what I'm really trying to say is apologies for the delay and thanks for reading~ I'm still working on stockpiling more than 500 words.
