Chapter 65.1
Orc Hero Story
On that day, Cyrus, the “Clairvoyant,” the chief of the reconnaissance unit of the Demon Army, was on the watchtower of Fortress Gije. His job was to detect the dragon that appeared daily and destroyed the city, urging for evacuation and intercepting the attacks.
Many demons had special eyes. Cyrus was one of those who had eyes that could see exceptionally far. Like all members of his clan, he possessed a magical eye that could detect enemies hundreds of kilometers away at any time of the day or night.
The reconnaissance missions of the demons never failed against an enemy. Even in comparison to flying races like harpies and succubi, the difference was obvious. Even before the death of Gediguz, Cyrus was the first to spot enemy forces with his superior vision and brought victory to the demon army. It was Cyrus who found the dragon’s lair.
Thanks to that, Sequence’s daughter and her men rushed into the dragon’s nest and were killed. Cyrus also witnessed the moment of their annihilation. The last, after being chewed in the air, splattering blood on the ground, he reported to Sequence, and the latter slept for a day.
Of course, he continued with his reconnaissance. Partly because it was his job, but also because if he didn’t, not very good things usually happened.
So, on that day, he was one of the first to spot the dragon. As usual, the dragon flew out of its nest. Therefore, Cyrus rang the bell as always and prepared for an attack. But before doing so, he noticed something unusual.
“Where is it going?”
The dragon flew straight into the sky to the southeast. The direction was different from the usual one. Normally, it would have circled the mountain twice, as if checking its nest, and then headed a bit south before returning to them. But now, it flew straight towards the southeast.
