Translator: 549690339??????? —
Manim Market.
The usually bustling Orc market has been quiet these past few days.
The market is no longer open to the public, and a large force of Orc troops are stationed outside the city.
These troops initially come from different tribes. Now, they have gathered here with a collective purpose.
Tomorrow, they will strike a stronghold of the Undead located west of the city. And after achieving victory, they are to receive rewards granted by the Skullcrusher Tribe.
In the chief’s hall.
Apart from Bronze Bull Talok, chieftains of some minor tribes have also gathered here, discussing the forthcoming campaign.
“We have received word from the Skullcrushers; they will arrive tomorrow, at which point our troops will merge with theirs and set out together,” reported Bronze Bull in a deep voice.
This will be their first collaboration with the Skullcrusher Tribe from Coldwind Mountain.
As the organizer of this campaign, Bronze Bull has shouldered a significant responsibility.
“Chieftain Talok, how powerful is this City of Undead that the Skullcrushers speak of? Why would the Skullcrushers travel such a long distance-are they after something?” A prominent Orc chieftain asked loudly.
The Skullcrusher Tribe is crossing a vast distance to eliminate a City of the Undead.
There must be factors they are not aware of.
“Apparently, the Undead attacked a village established by the Skullcrushers, though they didn’t elaborate much on the details,” Bronze Bull answered, lightly tapping the armrest of his chair.
Under normal circumstances, Bronze Bull would never agree to such a battle. However, the rapid growth of a City of Undead to the west of his tribe’s territory has instilled him with unease.
Since the Skullcrusher Tribe has proposed to eliminate them, Bronze Bull is naturally willing to join in and lend a hand.
If the Skullcrusher Tribe were to ignore this, there would be a high probability of conflict once the City of Undead develops, especially considering it’s in close proximity to their tribes.
“Either way, we have the tribesmen from Coldwind Mountain as the main forces. What is there to fear?”
“That’s right. I haven’t been in a fight for so long that I feel stiff!”
The Chieftains, caught up in their excitement, eagerly discussed the upcoming battle.????????????????????????? 5
Just as everyone was getting worked up, hoping to go out and start fighting, a Minotaur guard stormed into the room.
He shouted, “Chieftain, it’s not good! An army of tens of thousands of Undead, accompanied by Bone Dragons, is about to reach the city.”
“What!” Bronze Bull stood up, shocked.
“Massive waves of Undead forces are approaching. You must come to see it quickly,” the Minotaur guard repeated again.
“Quick, lead me to see.” Bronze Bull grabbed his battle-axe and rushed out with the guard.
The remaining Clan Leaders were all in a panic as well.
Their clansmen were still stationed outside the city. If a battle broke out now, they could suffer significant losses.
Everyone hurriedly left the chieftain’s hall.
As soon as they climbed up the city walls and saw the White Bone Army surging from afar, their faces turned pale.
Especially when they saw the lifeforms flying in the sky.
A swarm of White Bone Dragons-what on earth was happening?
Could it be, instead of a City of the Undead, they are facing an Undead Empire? “Chieftain Talok, quickly-let my clansmen inside first. Hurry up.” “Yes, our clansmen are still outside. Let them in quickly.” The Undead forces were still some distance away, but if they delayed any longer, it would be too late.
Bronze Bull nodded and ordered his men to let all the Orcs stationed outside into the city.
The marching Undead Legion didn’t stop to rest.
From a distance, they could see the Orc forces camped outside Manim City. Unlike the previous Orc trading teams, these forces were well-equipped and brought their supplies with them, clearly gathered in preparation for a fight. It was obvious, even without guessing, that they were responding to the call from the Skullcrusher Tribe.
“My Lord, the Orcs stationed outside are entering the city. It seems like they intend to fight a defensive battle,” Blood Hunter, with wings folded, landed on Fang Hao’s chariot.
For this operation, Fang Hao did not ride on a dragon while invoking the God’s Presence.
Instead, he sat on a chariot drawn by a skeleton wolf, chatting with Nelson as they traveled.
Hearing Blood Hunter’s report, Fang Hao stood up and looked towards Manim City.
Indeed, Orcs were entering the city gate rapidly, leaving a lot of tents unattended outside.
Prepare for battle,” Fang Hao commanded.
“Yes.” Blood Hunter once again spread his wings, landing on the back of a Bone Dragon, and began leading the Dragon Squad.
“Anjia, get ready for a fight. Wake up, dammit!” Fang Hao slapped Anjia’s cheeks but succeeded only in getting a handful of drool.
Considering Anjia’s biological rhythm, it was indeed quite early for her to wake up.
But to sleep the whole way through-and remain asleep even now-was a bit excessive.
“Huh? What?” Anjia rubbed her eyes and naturally wiped away her drool.
“We’re about to fight.”
“Ah, we’re about to fight, huh? We’re finally here!”
Mention of the battle instantly woke Anjia up, her face revealing an eager, anticipatory expression.
“Charge.” Fang Hao blew the War Horn after speaking.
A ripple of blue spread out, and attributes of Movement Speed +io% and Attack +2% took effect on all the soldiers.
Without any formation, Fang Hao’s command set fifty thousand skeleton soldiers into motion, each pulling out their weapons from their waists and rapidly approaching Manim City.
As their footsteps hastened, the Undead army began to run.
A tsunami of skeletons surged forward.
On the city walls.
“Quick! Get your men onto the walls.”
“Why don’t you order your men to do that? Don’t command mine.”
The city was in a state of chaos; as there were too many Clan Leaders, and not one would bow to the others.
In the past, their tribes often fought each other-let alone follow the others’ orders now.
“Everybody shut up, I’m the one commanding now,” Bronze Bull shouted, pushing aside two people about to fight.
Among all the attendees, Bronze Bull was the only one with the title of hero, while none of the others were heroes.
Upon witnessing Bronze Bull’s threatening demeanour, the two individuals backed down.
I agree to Chieftain Talok’s command.”
“I agree as well.”
Bronze Bull gave the two of them a hard stare, then loudly commanded, “All ranged combatants, get on the walls, tear down all the houses in the territory, and bring the stones and rolling logs here.”
“Yes.”
The chaotic Orc forces temporarily unified.
All the Orcs began to move. The ranged soldiers went up to the city walls, preparing to attack the rapidly encroaching Undead.
But then, in the next second…
“Watch out for the Bone Dragons…”
Someone shouted a warning as the sky darkened.
Several Bone Dragons swooped down, spewing Death Breath upon the ranged units gathered on the city walls.
Black energy columns sprayed from the dragon’s mouths.
For a moment, all struck Orcs howled in agony.
Their flesh melted and separated from their skeletons, which were strewn across the city walls.
This…
Witnessing this, a sense of dread settled in the hearts of everyone.
The end. Their ordinary troops couldn’t fight against a Tier-lo Bone Dragon.
Even if they intended to defend, they couldn’t get to the city walls.
How were they supposed to fight this battle?
However, this was just the beginning. Dozens of Bone Dragons in the sky hovered above the city, reaping the lives of the Orcs with their Death Breath..
