16 Chapter 15 Heated Discussion
The sun was now nearing sunset, the camp was prepared and the soldiers were patrolling the perimeter while all the adventurers, platoon officers and Captain Milkas were in a huge tent and arranged in a circle as they listened to reports and watched a map arranged on a rectangular table.
Milkas, after making sure they were all present, began to talk: "the news from the explorers is not good because apparently the orcs have finished gathering their forces ahead of schedule and given our current position we won't have enough time to reach Satin and set up defenses, so the best thing we can do is to intercept them along the way or block them directly at their base. The main problem, however, is another, and it is the fact that there are more than three hundred and fifty are at least thirty shamans or magicians so if we want to have some possibilities they are the first target to be eliminated; since you are adventurers under the guidance of Dofus, it is up to him to decide how you will move and while you will organize it my men and I will prepare an ambush in this area, on the bank of the river that leads to Satin".
Dofus looked at the map with a serious look and remained silent to listen to Milkas and, as soon as the latter finished speaking, he nodded and turned to the other adventurers: "Ok .. as you can see the situation is different from what we expected but I have no intention of abandoning the mission and it would be better to keep my words in mind because in our work the unpredictability is an ever-present element.Even if you are under my command, I do not expect you to blindly execute the orders and be dumb as rocks, but I want each of you now to propose ideas, we will put them to the vote and what will be considered the best will be our strategy. Made myself clear?".
And so began a long discussion between the various parties of adventurers: given that they were composed of different groups of three or four or at most five members of different races, religions and / or ideologies to each proposed idea, protests were joined and in some cases the situation became tense, especially with the group of Lefay Vanes: "I really hope you're joking! do you expect me, Lefay Vanes, to dig ditches like a savage ?! ";" Absolutely not! how can you even think that I do another three hours of wagon; we should simply flush out those crappy beasts from their dens! ";" Ah .. sure, and you expect me and my guards, true followers of Fumina's faith, would mix with those ridiculous followers of Atosh; I hope you're joking "and many other similar phrases.
The situation was getting more and more tense and each group was now close to reacting to the noblewoman's constant complaints and even her guards realized it and for this they were standing between their Lady and the rest of the adventurers.
Ichiro, who had been silent most of the time to avoid putting up Lefay's berciare, sighed in exasperation when Jessica gave him a look that meant 'intervene and do what we agreed to do'; at that moment a member of the group of adventurers followers of Atosh, a demi-human canid snarled against Lefay: "listen a little! you'll also be a noble, but here it counts nothing because we are all adventurers! you have no right to criticize the our belief and reject any strategy for your own selfish reasons, you should therefore stop or I will show you what the real difference is between a spoiled brat of rank C and a veteran of rank B like me "and said he set his hands on his double ax.
Lefay's guards and members of the demi-human group stood facing each other ready to clash, but before they could begin Ichiro stood in their midst, beckoning them both to stop: "ok enough now! if you want to kill yourself do it at least by doing what we are here for, in other words, killing the orcs, each side has its reasons and I really don't want to be a judge, so listen to my proposal otherwise you can go out of the tent to slaughter each other like pigs, for what I care ", then turned to the noblewoman and said:" Lady Lefay, I am sure that a woman of high rank like you will surely have received the best education possible in various disciplines; if you can help us against the orcs, don't you think it would benefit your reputation if you planned a strategy that could make us win? ";having finished saying this, he turned to the other group: "listen ... I know that what she says can be offensive and arrogant but why we do not give ourselves the benefit of the doubt: in the possibility in which Lady Lefay failed you would be free to reproach her , otherwise you will have to admit her idea made us win; what do you say, do we agree?".
Both groups watched him suspiciously for a few seconds until Lefay answered with a tone of superiority: "ah ... well .. I see that at least one commoner recognizes my superiority; it is just as you say Mister ..." "Ichiro" " ... Ichiro, my family is used to being the best of the best and among the various disciplines to which I have been educated, the study of fauna and flora is part of these: the orcs in themselves are a mainly wild breed and stupid, except perhaps their shouts, if I with my guards, Lord Dofus and another semi-competent party formed an attack team, the victory would undoubtedly be ours! "
The demi-human kept a furious look at Lefay, then turned to Ichiro: "do you really think you can trust such a woman? probably as soon as the situation gets serious, he will run like hell leaving Aster leaving us to die; we are followers of Atosh and as such we respect the teachings of our faith that prefer the law but we are also adventurers and as such we must be able to trust our colleagues, what makes you think that you will be able to do so? ".
Ichiro grinned and said: "I am ready to bet the pay and the possible reward of this mission, if it is as you say then it will be yours but if I am right .. well I will enjoy the satisfaction of being right and I will take your pay".
The group of faithful of Atosh began to whisper among themselves and after a couple of minutes the demi-human said to Ichiro with a serious look: "very well, if this is how things are we accept your bet but on one condition: you will accompany that woman to carry out her plan ... "and concluded by launching a last sarcastic look at Lefay" I am sure that you will have nothing to object "; Lefay replied with tone and scornful look: "bah .. at least this human commoner knows his place unlike you ...; very well, Mister Ichiro, you and your group will have the honor of being my companions in this enterprise".
Thus it was that the rest of the meeting was spent discussing the implementation of Lefay's plan; in the end they were able to modify it by abolishing the naive ideas of the woman thanks to the authority and experience of Dofus: they would have divided into two groups with a Dofus at the head and the leader of another B party, Dofus would have been the group of avant-garde and would have attracted the orcs to them at one of the mouths of the river while the other group would have used the elevated hills to attack the orcs by surprise.

Captain Milkas would have assigned part of his troops to assist the adventurers, while the rest would have prepared perimeter defenses in Sarin in case of attack group retreat.
While everyone was heading towards their tents to go to enjoy a few hours of sleep before leaving for the attack at dawn, Jessica approached Ichiro and congratulated him: "I have to admit it ... not bad ... you can do it well with the words .. well .. I came only to tell you that my Lady has the highest priority for your assignment: make sure you cover her back without her noticing and that you take credit for the enemies killed by you " ; Ichiro simply shrugged his shoulders: "yes yes .. I understand there is no need to repeat like a broken record .. I don't need much much: I only need a dozen confirmed orcs and I can go back to Aster and go up of rank, but you remember to keep your part of the agreement "and went to his tent where Akeno and Cattleya were waiting for him with only underwear and the prospect of a night full of fun.

Finally dawn came and the sun's rays lit up the camp where about two hundred and fifty people, including adventurers and soldiers, were preparing for their expedition; Dofus and Milkas were in front of everyone while giving the final instructions: of the hundred and fifty soldiers, seventy would have joined the adventurers in the attack and would have been under the command of Milkas while the rest would have been directed to Satin; Dofus would have joined Milkas in the attack with the first group while the second would have been driven by Dofus' companion, the elf archer named Bor and would have reached his position for the surprise attack.
Ichiro, Akeno and Cattleya would have been in the avant-garde group like Lefay and her guards; Ichiro had already planned how to carry out his assignment thanks to one of the last skills he had acquired before starting from Aster: Silent step (lvl 5) and Concealed presence (lvl5); he was very curious to try these new skills of his, and since they were of a fairly high level he was sure that the noble lady with the stink under her nose would not even realize she had her 'noble butt' saved by what she would soon destroy that ass.
They managed to get to the orcs' lair quickly and Ichigo almost laughed when he saw it, as it looked like one of the orc camps on Skyrim; Ichiro had thrown dozens of hours on that video game and remembered how he had exterminated all the villages of orcs he had found because he didn't want to 'get permission to enter'.
He was sure that today, in exterminating those orcs, a moment of nostalgia would come.
Milkas, after making sure they were all present, began to talk: "the news from the explorers is not good because apparently the orcs have finished gathering their forces ahead of schedule and given our current position we won't have enough time to reach Satin and set up defenses, so the best thing we can do is to intercept them along the way or block them directly at their base.
