Rise of the Horde

Chapter 151 - 151

Xiao Chen was feeling very uncomfortable because of the aura that he was perceiving. He doesn't know what or who that aura was coming from but all his danger senses are tingling and alarm bells in his head were going on a crazy. Gritting his teeth because of the annoyance at the feeling that was currently being perceived by him.

"Retreat!"

"Back to the camp!"

"Collect our wounded!"

"Move!"

"Now!"

Xiao Chen rapidly shouted his words one after the other. Something is coming, and it's very dangerous for them to be stretched thin and their vision being impeded by the thick fog. The sun was already about to rise as he could see its bright rays from the east, but he can't risk his warriors from fighting the unknown that even he himself felt uncomfortable about.

"Back to the camp!"

"To the camp!"

"Move!"

His orders were repeatedly being shouted by his warriors until it reached to Yurakks who were on the far flank opposite of where he was at. "Chief, it feels like magic, but very sinister in nature. Its aura is something that even the one's exuded by the demons can't compare to." Draegh'ana glanced towards their chief and informed him of what she felt.

"Yes, something or someone is arriving that even I don't know!" Xiao Chen replied as he nodded his head but he was also staring at his system panel which might give him hints on what or who they are about to be up against.

Rapid footsteps reverberated all throughout the battlefield as the warriors of Yohan retreated en masse and pulled back towards their camp. They collected any of their comrades who were wounded while they retreat.

"I hope its something that we can go up against..." Xiao Chen muttered as he stood in front of his warriors, Adhalia and Draegh'ana standing to his left and right respectively as their gazes were on the distance, looking at where the sinister aura was originating from.

"Defensive formation! Thirty man upfront! Keep the formation tight! As tight as possible! Trolls! Tend to the wounded and don't come to the forefront unless I tell you to!" Xiao Chen bellowed and his warriors were quick to respond to his orders as they shift their formation in accordance to his orders.

Thirty warriors came forward with the central ten orcs being the Rakshas as they huddled together in one compact formation, standing shoulder to shoulder with the ones beside them. The Rakshas and the Yurakks were looking at the back of their chieftain and they can sense their leader's uneasiness. If even their chief was feeling nervous, then they were going up against something that is a truly hard to bring down opponent.

On the other side, hidden by the thick fog, the Great Goblin Leader continued on channeling the spell, which was fueled by the lives of his brethren. Two portals emerged from both his left and right, just slightly a few feet behind him. They grew bigger and bigger as more goblins were being sacrificed to open the portal. The two portals grew to almost ten feet in diameter.

An unworldly roar reverberated as one creature jumped out from each of the portals. The two portals went poof as they disappeared like a popped bubble, with no visible trace except for the undulation of energy in the place where they were at before.

"Grrr..."

"Grrr..."

The two creatures that came out from the portals circled around the Great Goblin Leader while growling at him and the three whip-like tails of each one of them that ended with a very sharp and dangerous looking spikes danced around behind them. Standing still with his staff by his side, the goblin who summoned the two creatures remained calm as he marveled at the beauty of the two creatures.

The two creatures were pitch black in color like a very dark and moonless night. They have a head like that of a big cat which was similar to that of tigers or panthers and sharp long canines in their mouth. But they have no eyes on their heads. The place where their eyes were supposed to be at were two small horns that pointed forward. And atop their forehead was also another horn that curved backwards before splitting at the end into two like that of a beetle's horn.

If you remove all their other physical features, they do look like big cats, oversized ones. Standing above six feet tall with thick and muscular legs. Their legs were dotted with scales that were glossy black in color. And on their shoulders were the pitch black eyes that were staring menacingly at the goblin who they are circling around.

Their tails that were dancing behind them were producing whip noises. "#$#&$ $£@[email protected] $¢@ #$#&$&£" the goblin spoke in a language that didn't exist in this world and the two creatures turned their heads and stared at where Xiao Chen and his warriors were at.

The goblin pointed his finger and uttered a phrase once again in the unknown language and the two creatures bolted away and headed towards where the warriors of Yohan were at while growling. Cutting through the thick fog with ease, the two creatures were quick to arrive near the ditch and the mounds of corpses to which they just jumped over. Their jump was as high as over five feet and they landed with grace before continuing in on their rush.

The Great Goblin Leader glanced behind him and saw the many dried up corpses of those who he have sacrificed to summon the two creatures. Their withered skin that hugged their bones and their eyes shrank like they were just small dots. He clicked his tongue and walked forward and followed after the creatures that he had summoned.

Restless, Xiao Chen kept on adjusting his grip on his crescent-moon spear as his heart started thumping loudly against his chest like it was trying to escape. Never did he ever felt this kind of feeling before, not even his previous life. This was the first time that he was like this, which was driving him insane and taking a huge toll on his mentality.

Draegh'ana was staring at their chieftain and she noticed the uneasy gestures of their chief and it was the first time for her to witness Xiao Chen like this. Adhalia was being overwhelmed by the current mood of the battlefield. She too took part in some battles before, but they were just small skirmishes and nothing like this one before. Unsure of what was coming for them, she glanced at Xiao Chen to seek courage, but she was surprised by what he saw. The previous monster that wrecked the goblins before was now nervous of their unknown enemy.
