Chapter 67.1
Orc Hero Story
Frizcop: Here we goooooo! Our Giga Chad Orc Hero is here!
In the Human Kingdom, there once was a hero named Joshua Bright. This man had defended his isolated territory while the Demon King Gediguz unleashed his fury upon it. Not only did he possess formidable combat skills, but he also had exceptional leadership abilities. He piled the bodies of enemies on numerous battlefields, and even experienced demons trembled at the sound of his name. Thanks to his immense achievements, the previous Human King bestowed upon him a suit of shiny silver armor. It was a magical armor inherited from the royal family, said to withstand even the charms of succubi. Despite wearing such magical armor, he always wore a coal-black helmet passed down by his own family, earning him the nickname “Blackhead.” As long as Demon King Gediguz lived, he was the man who achieved the most victories against the Seven Races Federation.
In the end, he was pushed to the limit and perished due to the shortage of supplies caused by the isolation. However, everyone who knew him said the same thing: he was the strongest knight among humans. His defeat was not just a defeat. The time he earned allowed humans to prepare thoroughly, gather their forces, stockpile supplies, and devise strategies. Without the time Gediguz fought against Blackhead, the Four Races Alliance would not have been able to secure victory in the Battle of the Lemium Highlands. Therefore, the Human King praised his great feat, and after the establishment of peace, made the Zarico Peninsula his direct domain, naming it the Blackhead Territory.
It was in this Blackhead Territory where dignitaries from various countries gathered.
■■■
Zarico Peninsula, Blackhead Territory. Stormhill Castle. This castle had been captured by the Seven Races Federation. The multiple layers of defensive walls had been consumed by flames, the main tower had been completely destroyed and reduced to rubble. Orcs had taken over Stormhill, and for a while, a crude fortress had occupied its place.
This land had been reclaimed by humans, and after the end of the war, Stormhill Castle was rebuilt. Although it was no longer necessary now that the war had ended, its reconstruction also served as a tribute to Blackhead, their war hero. It was no longer as massive as before, but it had transformed into a more solid and defensible castle.
In the great hall of this castle, many people had gathered. The assembly around the round table in the center of the room was quite notable.
