Rise of the Horde

With the thick cover of the surrounding vegetations, slowly but surely Gur'kan made his way behind the tree where the female orc was at, his body blending among his surroundings, his skin changing and adapting like that of a chameleon.

Xiao Chen readied the spears for immediate action, his thick burly right hands firmly gripping the shaft of the spear, his eyes full of concentration, aiming for the burliest of the humans just about 20 meters away from his hiding spot.

The laughter of the riders continued as they take turns slashing and poking the female orc while slowly tearing away her clothing, her rough vest made of animal skin and small skirt made out from the same material torn in different places barely covering her most private parts. Her modest breasts, threatening to break free from the confines of what remains of her vest.

Xiao Chen just spent almost all of his available points, spending 300 points for a camouflage potion that lasts for 2 minutes allowing Gur'kan to stealthily approach and free the female orc and the talent named 'True Aim' with the price of 1750 points allowing Xiao Chen's aim to hit his intended target with high accuracy.

There Xiao Chen saw the ropes dropped to the ground while the riders were still oblivious to what was going on, still busy laughing while enraging the female orc more but then with a quick swoosh Xiao Chen threw the first spear towards the burliest of them all and with a loud thud and the sound of flesh and armor being pierced through the unfortunate human was nailed to a tree trunk further away, his body carried by the spear's momentum and with quick reflexes Xiao Chen threw the second spear successfully hitting his second target on his abdomen making him crouched down in pain while he burst out from his hiding spot with a loud shout directing the remaining riders' attention towards him.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but proudly shout his unit's motto even though only he can understand what it means.

Casting the 'Haste' spell in himself, Xiao Chen charged forward like a raging bull ramming one of the riders and sending him flying and crashing to the trees and with a quick glance he saw the last standing rider pounced on by the enraged female orc.

The last rider suffered a painful retribution in the hands of the infuriated female orc. The female orc clawed at the helpless man with her sharp nails, tearing away chunks of flesh from his face and torso, she even tore away a piece of the man's neck with her mouth fully using her shorter but very sharp tusks and set of teeth. Like a predator that is having a meal out if its prey, the female orc continued on tearing the hapless men into pieces with her hands and mouth while the poor man screamed in agony making Xiao Chen feel goosebumps all over his body.

The savagery of the female orc surprised and scared him. Female orcs can sometimes be more ruthless than male orcs, specially when their dignity was tarnished or mocked upon.

Staring at her, Xiao Chen finally noticed the uncanny similarities between female orcs and female elves. They were both a beauty, but the elves were more majestic and graceful, while female orcs leaned on the wild and savage nature. Their figures almost very identical both with long ears except orcs are of lupine ears while the elves had sharper and longer ears, body figures almost the same, the short and sharper tusks missing and the lupine ears covered, they look like female elves just wild and savage in nature.

Xiao Chen stood rooted on the spot watching as the female orc tortured the miserable man till the man succumbed to death. He didn't notice that Gur'kan disappeared and went somewhere and they could see no shadow of him.

"Many thanks!!!"

The female orc finally stood and cupped her right fist to her left chest with her head bowed down, showing her gratitude to Xiao Chen.

A system prompt telling him he gained an additional subordinate sounded, but Xiao Chen ignored it and just focused his gaze on the female orc.

"What's your name?"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask with his gaze fully focused on the female orc waiting for her reply.

"I am known as Draegh'ana, daughter of Dhug'mur chief of the Rock Bear Tribe and Dha'gnna daughter of Vir'khan chief of the Blacktree Tribe"

Xiao Chen's hunch was right, she was a royalty of the orc race, at least in the tribes that she belongs to, daughter and granddaughter of tribe chieftains, she is not someone to be mess with; she has the blood of brave and strong warriors.

"I mean no disrespect, but what is my savior called"

Xiao Chen didn't know how to reply. The real identity of the body he occupied, he doesn't know, nor was there anyone who informed him. He just simply replied with his own name.

"Xiao Chen"

"Kao' khen???"

Draegh'ana tried to confirm, confused by the strange words coming from Xiao Chen's mouth.

"It's Xiao Chen"

Xiao Chen tried to correct her speaking more clearly and slowly for her to understand

"Kao'khen..."

Draegh'ana replied again, which made Xiao Chen at a loss for words. He really can't blame her, for Orcish is literally very different from Mandarin, so he just nodded, confirming Draegh'ana of his now new name.

"Khao'khen... Khao'khen...Khao'khen"

Draegh'ana muttered repeatedly, trying to engrave Xiao Chen's new name to his memory, but then she suddenly realized something, an old Orcish word whose meaning is something that is difficult to speak of.

"You mean Khao'khen meaning 'chieftain of chieftains???"

Xiao Chen was dumbfounded. He didn't know that his new name had such a meaning, probably because he wasn't a real orc and didn't know of the ancient Orcish words and what they mean.

"I guess so..."

Xiao Chen replied and just shrugged his shoulders, with the system, he can really become chieftain of chieftains as long as he gets more points and buy everything that he needs from the system store but staring at his only remaining 50 points, his excitement dwindled down to the negatives but he was surprised that it suddenly rose by one point making his total points 51.

He looked at the system's panel and surely enough; he found the reason

Commander's Share: Basic (Upgradable)

- for every enemy that a warrior under your command kills, receive one point.

Gur'kan had probably killed someone since his only two subordinates would be him and Draegh'ana and Draegh'ana just killed the poor man before she became his subordinate and she was currently standing in front of him.

Surely enough Gur'kan appeared from where he sent the unfortunate soldier that he tackled .

"It's all done, my chief"

Gur'kan bowed his head, thumping his right fist to his left chest with a sword still dripping fresh blood was on his left hand, what he used to slay the unfortunate rider.

Checking his system further, he saw

*ARMY DETAILS

Trust: 70%

Total Number of Subordinates: 2

With everything concluded, Xiao Chen tasked Gur'kan and Draegh'ana to loot the corpses and arm themselves while he himself picked up the things he needed, four spears, a sword and some pieces of armor that could fit his hulking frame unlike Gur'kan whose body frame allowed him to wear the rider's armor full.

They rested for a few minutes and set out once again towards wherever they could hear sounds of fighting coming from. Xiao Chen was determined to rescue as many orcs as possible for him to gain more points and raised his meager 51 points to as high as he could.
