Chapter 267: Went all out
Chapter 267: Went all out
In the morning, the Patrol Leader of Bloodrock camp was making his routine rounds of the various camps. This was a daily task mandated by the Orc King after gathering all the camps to Bloodrock royal city.
Firstly, there were no communication methods other than sending messengers, and secondly, it was to prevent these unruly camps from secretly banding together to rebel.
When the Patrol Leader from Bloodrock royal city arrived at the outermost camp and saw the devastation, his pupils instantly contracted in fear.
"The Twilight Hammer Camp has been wiped out!"
The Patrol Leader hurried back to Bloodrock royal city. The situation was too severeāa camp had been reduced to ruins overnight. He had to inform the Orc King immediately!
Meanwhile, the same thing was happening at the other destroyed camps. Orc patrol leaders were riding their mounts, frantically returning to Bloodrock city from all directions.
Outside Gemini City, a massive pile of orc corpses had formed a small mountain. Last night, Death Spirit hadn't summoned them into undead but had brought all the bodies back instead.
These orc corpses had now been fully summoned, and disassembling nearly a hundred thousand orc bodies provided a significant amount of resources.
With the addition of these thirty Monarchs and the hundred thousand undead army, combined with Gemini City's original defenses, it was now a formidable force.
As long as they didn't encounter a King level enemy, no creature could take down Gemini City.
The undead had already wiped out nearly twenty orc camps of the Orc Empire, turning half of the Orc Empire's orcs into undead.
The blatant destruction of six camps right under Bloodrock City's nose had thoroughly enraged the Bloodrock camp.
The remaining orc camps on the outskirts were all on edge, fearing they would be the next to be wiped out. They began to pray for the Orc King to quickly deal with the enemy.
Faced with the camps' pleas and the enemy's provocation, the Orc King had no choice but to respond, or his authority would be completely undermined.
What he had initially thought was just a small kitten of an enemy turned out to be a fierce tiger, now powerful enough that even the Orc King had to take notice.
His original intention was to let this enemy reduce the internal conflicts of the camps, uniting them against a common foe and thereby reducing orc infighting.
In the face of a powerful enemy, the orc infighting did stop, but half of the camps were destroyed, taking half of the Orc Empire with them.
Now that the templar knights had left and the Orc King had regained full control, it was time to eliminate this enemy.
With a command from the Orc King, the entire Bloodrock city mobilized.
He wanted to show the enemy the consequences of angering the Orc Empire!
...
On the other side, in Undead City, Alex had just woken up and felt a significant surge in her experience points.
Alex carefully sensed her experience points and found they had increased substantially, making her very pleased.
Alex opened the system dashboard to see what was going on.
Seeing the system notifications, with kill records of 9999+, all orcs, she understood. It seemed the undead race kings had made a big move last night.
"At this rate, one more wave and I can level up to King level!"
At night, undead gained triple experience points for killing creatures below Monarch level, causing her experience to skyrocket, which made Alex very happy.
Meanwhile, Xiao Mu and Xiao Hui had left the main fortress and headed to Twinface Mountain, leading the undead to attack the Longtail Apes.
Alex chose to stay in the palace to enjoy the 1.5x experience boost from the throne (with an additional double experience boost at night).
By noon, Death Spirit came to report to Alex.
"Esteemed Queen, the orc army is about to launch an attack, and the Orc King is suspected to have appeared!"
This was information from an orc spy in Bloodrock city. The entire Bloodrock city had mobilized all the camp armies, even the Bloodrock camp had sent troops, and they were building a portal.
Building a portal could only mean one thing: an attack on Gemini City. Alex couldn't think of any other possibility.
This put Alex in a difficult position, and she instantly frowned. The Orc King was a King level enemy, and this was bad news. They had pushed the enemy too far.
The strength of that templar knight from a few days ago was still fresh in Alex's mind. She didn't want to be beaten by a King level enemy again.
"Gather the man-eating ants, Burrowing Beasts, Rockfang Beasts, and some hobgoblins. Let them be the vanguard. All Monarch level troops from Undead City and the dwarf city should head to Gemini City for support."
Alex had no other choice but to go all out. Either the Monarch level troops would wear down the Orc King through attrition, or she would accumulate enough experience to level up to King level and take him down herself.
Whether relying on the Monarch level troops to gang up or leveling up through experience, Alex wasn't very confident. This was why she had to drag the other subordinate races, even though their numbers hadn't fully recovered, onto the battlefield.
At this moment, every bit of experience was crucial.
"Yes, Esteemed Queen."
Death Spirit immediately withdrew to carry out Alex's orders. All the undead from the three cities began to move towards Gemini City.
In terms of troop numbers, Alex wasn't afraid of the Orc Empire. Hundreds of thousands of undead were enough to crush the orcs. The main problem was the Orc King.
Other camp leaders would also need undead to deal with them, so some Monarch level troops would have to be spread out.
"Let's hope everything goes smoothly."
Alex's beautiful face showed a hint of worry. To maximize her experience gain, she naturally couldn't leave Undead City. This war would have to be commanded by the undead.
Soon, the man-eating ants from the Dark Forest were mobilized and entered Gemini City through the Portal of Transit. These were the survivors from the last great battle.
They were all elderly man-eating ants. Alex kept the young and strong ones to continue repopulating the species.
Even though the situation was urgent, Alex wouldn't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. These ants would be very useful in the future.
The same went for the hobgoblins. These two races had the largest numbers mobilized, with the Rockfang Beasts being the fewest, only a handful, and the Burrowing Beasts next.
The four races combined had nearly 10,000 troops, but they were all old, weak, sick, and disabled, purely sent to die and increase experience points. Alex never intended to rely on them to kill the enemy.
Once the four races were fully mobilized, all the undead were in position. Alex and Sophie stayed in Undead City, while the dwarf city was guarded by Durin.
All Monarch level undead from Undead City headed to Gemini City. With the twenty taken by the Xiao siblings, Gemini City now had nearly a hundred Monarch level undead, and the troop count had reached 200K.
This was Alex's highest combat power at the moment. If this couldn't wear down the Orc King, she might as well find a soft pillow and smother herself.
Alex didn't believe the Orc King could have the strength of a level 8 King.
