Chapter 96: Dinner I
Vacuse frowned and blinked several times.
He was beginning to understand the High Commander. It wasn’t only his hatred for the Orcs that’s making him angry. There was also the fact that by making an alliance with the Orcs, they would be taking away his power as High Commander.
The High Commander guards against the wilderness and the threat that was the High Chief of the Orcs. And it sits on a bulk of the Vorrakyn’s weapons reserve.
But.
The High Chief of the Orcs was long dead and the Orc Clans had destabilized. That already took a lot of power from the position of the High Commander.
And the weapon reserve? Since the Vorrakyn had grown weaker, they had withdrawn a lot of weapons from their once great reserve, leaving a ghost of it behind.
And since their territory had long since shrunk, power had been cut down.
An alliance with the Orcs would render the position that guards against the Orcs quite useless.
All this thought flashed in Vacuse’s head and he smiled at the High Commander. "Uncle, you’ve been sitting here so long you’ve forgotten what a Vorrakyn is.
"I guess a lot of us are forgetting."
"What do you mean?" Rhydian asked in a voice like ice.
But Vacuse merely shook his head. "You should search it out yourself, Uncle."
