Orc Knight by Shabazik You won't believe me, but they came in bikiniarmor by Shabazik The Orc of Keth by Shabazik

"Look what we got herre, boyz!" the ogress said, as she grabbed by the arm of her husband, who was grinning holding his prey hanging from his massive arms. 

The "boys", a mottley group of orcs and goblins came close as well, to see. 

"What'z that, my dearr?" the Ogress asked.

"Canned Meat!" the Ogre said with a laughter. 

The raid on the human supply column had been quick and savage. While it had a strong escort, their scouts had failed to detect the goblins hidden in the ditches and holes covered by the leafs of late autumn, and after a brief but bloody battle, the fight was over. 

"Kan we have zome of it?" asked eagerly one of the orcs, looking at the hanging and still alive knight. There where plenty of more meat available to them all over the destroyed caravan, both of the escort and in the carts, but the goblins and orcs only had eyes for the knight, as their minds machinated ways to kill it: after being ridden over and over by the heavy cavalry of the Holy Sargonic Empire, they had come to hate with fervour their knights... and there was a popular belief among them, that eating a powerful enemy would grant them their strength.  

The ogres thought for a moment, pondering their culinary options -but to share was in any case unacceptable-, but in the end the orders prevailed. 

"We need to brring herr to the Demonz firzt!" the Ogre said, to the general disappointment of the goblins and orcs. The words of the ogre only where encouraging to Lady de Vorann, as she was held upside down by the Ogre. At least some of luck for her today, as having her horse killed under her, being thrown hard to a ditch and then trampled over by a cart, and then picked up and hammered to the ground a couple of times by an Ogre was hardly a good evening. So not being killed yet meant some sort of hope.

She knew some of the people of the caravan was able to escape, and a unit of mercenaries patrolled wasn't far behind them. Maybe they would appear, before the goblinoids escaped with their price...



 Done for :iconsttspcms: as a part of the story of the Boar of Keth, Lady Keth, for his correction and edition of some of his stories. He actually requested for Lady de Vorann to be tied by the ogres -in her full armour-, but somehow instead this image appeared in my mind, and went for it.
