Dragon King's Harem Chapter 214. Dawn Ambush I
The Orc's PoV
The dawn had come and the orc started to execute their plan. They had been preparing for this plan. The orcs had already built traps near the fortress and they had prepared their weapons and armor. Their main goal was to kidnap the princess and bring her to the orc tribe.
The orcs were hiding behind the corpses and the battle's remains, approaching the fortress in secret. They were planning to ambush the dragon tribes.
"I'm going to go in first," the orc leader said. "Once I see the princess, I will signal you." He was the new leader, a temporary one since General Kul was dead.
"We understand," the other orcs agreed. "Be careful," they said.
"I will," he promised. "Now, let's move!" he commanded and ran towards the fortress.
After they made sure it was the change of shift, a few of orcs followed him. The climb was difficult but they managed. Once they reached the top, they hid themselves behind the stone fences.
"Now, let's wait until the guards leave," he told his comrades. "Then we can go inside."
He waited patiently for some time and finally, the guards left. He signaled his comrades and they climbed up the walls in silence. Once they reached the top, they crawled through the narrow stone stairs and jumped to the ground. Then they started to run silently.
"Where is she?" the leader asked his comrades.
"She should be in the chamber with the dragon king," one of them answered. "We need to lure the king out," he added.
"How?" the orc asked.
"We need to separate them so we will have a chance to capture her."
"Okay," the orc leader said. "Let's divide."
The orcs separated and went different ways. One group tried to lure the king out by making a fuss. The other group was supposed to enter the chamber where the princess was kept.
They were waiting outside the chamber for some time, hiding inside an unused room. It was funny since, despite that many dragons, they didn't realize the orcs at all.
Finally, they heard footsteps coming from the corridor. The orcs held their breath and listened carefully.
"Oh, look! There's a door opening," a dragon guard said. "Looks like someone is here," he added.
The orcs knew they were in trouble. The guard was probably already aware that they were there.
"I wonder who could be there," another soldier said. "Maybe a servant?" he suggested.
"I don't think so," the first one answered.
"Who knows? Maybe it's a healer," the second one said with a laugh.
"Yeah. We have a lot of personnel. I doubt an enemy would be able to sneak in without anyone noticing."
"I agree with you. But if it's true, it would be interesting," the first one said.
"Indeed. Let's go check it out," the second one said.
Both of them got closer to the door. Weirdly, they only peeked through the gap and didn't open the door. It was dark inside and they couldn't see anything.
"Is that a shadow?" the first one asked.
"Nah, I can't see a thing," the second one confirmed.
"It could be a servant or a healer," the first one said. "Just let him do his duty. We need to continue our patrol."
"Yea, let's go," the second one agreed.
They left and continued their patrol.
The orcs exhaled in relief. Now what they needed to do was wait for the other group to make a fuss and take advantage to sneak into the chamber.
"I hope my plan works," the orc leader said.
"Don't worry," his comrade replied. "If it doesn't, we will find another way."
The orcs were waiting for some time until they heard a loud ruckus from the other direction. Soon the dragon king came out of the chamber in a hurry and asked one of the guards.
"What happened?" he demanded angrily.
"It seems there are intruders," the first guards explained.
"It must be the orc!" the dragon king hissed in anger. "Follow me," he ordered. Then he rushed to the source of the noise.
Feeling safe, the orc went out of their hiding place. They walked silently to the chamber and opened the door. Inside, they saw Evelina sitting on the floor, crying. Her eyes were red and her face was pale. She looked weak and fragile.
The orcs were confused, but they guessed the dragon king just abused her. They bet they could persuade her to follow them easily.
"Princess Evelina?" the orc leader called her name. "Are you okay?"
She looked up and her eyes widened in surprise. "Orc! It's the orc!" she shouted in panic.
"Calm down," the orc leader said. "We aren't here to harm you. We just want to help." He decided to take advantage of her weak emotional state.
"Help?" she repeated in confusion. "How could you help me?"
"I can explain everything. Just please calm down."
"I can't believe you," she muttered. "You want to kidnap me."
"That's not true. The king sent us to rescue you."
"What?" she asked with disbelief. "Rescue me? Why would you do that? What do you want from me?"
"Nothing bad," he assured her. "We just want to save you from the dragon king."
"Save me from the dragon king? I don't believe you!"
"Please, listen to me," he begged. "We know what he is doing to you. Please, trust us. We'll save you. His Majesty (Uraugh) knows everything."
"Everything?" she asked suspiciously. "What does he know about me?"
"Everything," the orc leader confirmed. "He knew the dragon king wanted to use your powers to destroy the world and kill everyone."
"I don't believe you," she said again.
"I'm telling the truth," he insisted. "I promise. We won't hurt you. We just want to save you." He extended his hand to Evelina. "I'm telling the truth," he insisted.
"C'mon, let's get out of here, princess. His Majesty is waiting for you."
