The Last Battle: Orc vs Man P2

Part II: The Farmstead


As orcs go, many were quite tall when standing close to their human counterparts.  Orcs generally stood one to three heads taller than a typical human and carried up to 20% more weight in pure muscle on their sturdy frames.  Ra'zug, however, was one whose stature was closer to that of man than his brother orcs.  But what the orc lacked in height, he more than made up for in ferocity and fearlessness.

Whenever the others taunted and teased him for his height, the littler stud instantly pounced, managing to wrestle most of them down and elicit an immediate retraction and apology.  Despite his reputation, the bigger and dumber orcs continued to harass Ra'zug, only to meet the same fate time and again.

When Bra'thor Krag, overlord and leader of the orcs, began his campaign against the humans, it was Ra'zug who jumped at the chance to prove himself.  Krag, grinning broadly at the eager underling, assigned Ra'zug to a farmstead not far from the orcs' latest land grab.  Krag's scouts reported that the farm was providing a steady supply of meat and vegetables to a human garrison a few miles north from there.  It would be a good task for the runty orc to show his true worth to his race.

Joshua, the Farmer's Son (WIP)

This is Joshua, son of Bryant (left) who was known simply in the original series as "the farmer's son."  Like his father, Joshua received some updates over his published version, but not nearly as many as Bryant.


Both of these crop-growing, meat-producing studs are now beefier and bigger than they used to be, and they now wear clothes as they go about their chores.  The farm on which they serve their fellow humans has been expanded and brought to life with a lot more vegetation and utilities.

Little did the two realize that their lives were about to change forever...
