Rise of the Horde

Chapter 150 - 150

The trolls crashed against the goblin riders and drove them back. The left flank of the Yohan warriors was being stabilized with the help of the trolls. They jumped at the goblins and wrestled with their wolf steeds. Howls of pain reverberated all throughout the left flank as the wolves were mercilessly stabbed by the trolls that came charging forward to aid the Yurakks.

"Come! Me, smash you all!" Galum'nor bellowed as he broke away into the front and left the Yurakks behind to storm the goblin riders. Aro'shanna herself came charging just behind the huge frame of Galum'nor as she demolished both wolf and goblin with each properly placed strike of hers. She would spin around after landing her strike, then use the momentum of her previous attack to power her next attack.

Swinging around and around, Aro'shanna decimated the goblin riders with no care. Her speed of attacks increased as she hit more and more of their enemies. She was starting to become a real life top as she stormed forward like a meat grinder. Flesh and blood of both goblin and wolf were being splattered everywhere as she spun and spun around with increasing speed.

Galum'nor was having a great time smashing left and right.. It was like he was playing a whack a mole game during carnivals in his attacks. Nothing was left behind of her targets except for their squished remains. "Hahahaha! Come one! Come all!" he bellowed and continued on his smashing game.

To the center of the Yohan battle-line, the Rakshas were having a good time as they waited for the goblins to charge towards them before piercing them with their spears. Kicks and shoving was occurring all around their ranks as they push forward in repelling the goblins. A pile of goblin corpses was piled up in front of them and it was starting to become bigger and bigger as more goblins were added into it.

To the left flank of the Yohan battle-line was secured as Xiao Chen and the two ladies drove the goblins away. Xiao Chen was having a great time as this was the first time that he really went all out and showed all of what he can do on the battlefield. He was like a monster unleashed upon the battlefield and unlucky for the goblins; they were the ones who the monster was unleashed upon.

Xiao Chen's breathing was a bit ragged after going all out. Staring down at the remaining goblins who were no cowering in fear because of his display of might. "Rah!" he shouted at them and they turned around and fled, disappearing into the thick fog.

The Yurakks, Adhalia and Draegh'ana stared in disbelief at the retreating goblins, who were scared by their chieftain easily. Disbelief and admiration were etched on the face of those who witnessed the event that was close to a miracle.

"Heh... I'm exhausted..." Xiao Chen muttered as he turned around only to see the face of his warriors who had disbelief etched on their faces. "What!?" he asked as he raised one of his eyebrows up. Unbeknownst to Xiao Chen, what he just did was something close to impossible. He himself was a one-man army and the show of power that he displayed was something that only a few of their ancestors could do.

"No... no... nothing, chief..." Adhalia stuttered, as it was her first time witnessing what the odd orc was capable of. 'That was just purely his physical prowess, what if magic or something related to magic was added to equation, he would totally wipe out an entire army on his own..." she thought as she stared at their chieftain who was slowly walking back towards them while dragging his weapon behind him which was making screeching noises as it went over rocks and the hard parts of the ground.

"Recover the wounded and send them to the rear. All those who are still capable of combat rearrange your ranks and push forward. We will be advancing forward to envelop our foes from our side to relieve our allies." Xiao Chen gave his orders upon reaching his warriors. The Yurakks were quick to follow his commands as they scoured the battlefield for their fallen comrades. Xiao Chen himself kept on watch to thwart any attacks from their foes that might come back for more. He had his enormous weapon by his side as he closed his eyes and listened to whatever sound his ears could pick up. Standing beside him were Draegh'ana and Adhalia who joined him in keeping an eye out for their foes.

Xiao Chen could hear the still ongoing battle at the center of their battle-line and the sound of Aquila beating its wings as it soared to the sky. Even the sound of the enormous eagle taking a dive to catch its next prey was heard by him. Standing behind Draegh'ana were Capricorn and the Great Bear. Capricorn was standing straight as always and keeping a proper posture while the Great Bear sat on the ground with its butt then licked its paws, which was covered in blood and bits of flesh. There was even an intestine dangling on its left paw.

Back to the right flank of the Yohan battle-line, the trolls were pushing the goblin riders out of their battle-line. They stormed them with stabs, punches, kicks, heck they even bit the wolves if all their limbs were not available. Their sharp yet shorter tusk pierced through the skin of the wolves with ease.

Steam was oozing out of Galum'nor's body as he came barreling forward towards the ranks of their foes. He was throughly isolated from his allies as he kept charging forward with no care. His skin slowly turning crimson but he didn't notice any of the changes. He just felt overwhelming strength and the feeling of being invincible. Whacking left and right, Galum'nor continued on his path of slaughter while happily chuckling as the little goblins and their steed were no match for his newfound strength. He even crushed a wolf's head with just his grip and hurled its corpse away towards the charging goblins.

Just a few paces behind, the orc top was spinning around rapidly as she shredded all those that comes to close or those who were foolish enough to approach her. Little Grogus had long hidden himself behind the Yurakks as he was no fighter. He was a cook. The only things that he would slice or cut are ingredients and nothing else unless his life is threatened or at stake.

With the two orcs rampaging on the left flank, the number of goblins assaulting the Yurakks thinned out quickly, and they finally regained a stable hold of their line. Shoving any and every single foe in front of them before stabbing them right through the face, the Yurakks pushed forward, albeit slowly, as they were used to fighting defensively to exhaust their opponents before counter-attacking. Both flanks of the warriors of Yohan succeeded in overpowering their foes, and the only thing that remained was their center, which still held solid without giving an inch.

"Push forward! Drive them back! Show no mercy! Cut them down!" Xiao Chen rapidly fired off his commands which were repeated till it reach the other flank.

"Death to all who oppose the horde!"

"Death to all enemies of Yohan!"

"Death to all who oppose the will of the chief!"

"Death to them!"

"Death!"

"Death!"

"Death!"

The warriors of Yohan repeatedly chanted as they advance forward and drove their foes away. They slaughtered all those that stood in their path and the ditch that they dug was now filled with corpses of their fallen enemies, slayed by them or trampled to death by their own kin.

The goblins started fleeing away as the Yohan orcs and trolls advance forward and felling down all those that came within their weapon's reach.

Hidden by the thick fog, a goblin holding a sinister-looking staff, adorned with skulls of different creatures, watch as his kin fled away from battle. He was the Great Leader that the goblins were talking about. The goblin with dried skin like that of tree barks raised his staff up in the air and the skills that adorned his staff rattle. Muttering an incantation in a unique and unknown language, the Great Goblin leader was using the life of his fleeing kin, who were still inside his sphere of influence as a sacrifice as they had their bodies robbed of their life. Their bodies drying up quickly as life was sucked out of them forcefully.

A sinister aura permeated the air as a dark and gloomy magic circle emerged in front of the Great Goblin leader. He was summoning something or someone that didn't belong in this world.

At the side of the Yohan warriors, Draegh'ana glance at his chieftain and informed him of what she felt. "Chief, someone is summoning a creature behind the thick fog. A summoning magic is being used by someone or something!" she shouted as she felt the flow of magic, even with the cover of the thick fog.

"Halt!"

"Halt the advance!"

Xiao Chen bellowed as he didn't want his warriors to charge in towards an unknown enemy. He, too felt the strange flow of magic and the unique aura that it was emitting. The aura that he perceived was like what he felt from King Jaadul but was also different in some way.
