BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45 - 45, Orc Legion 1
All preparations had been completed, and Fang Hao returned to his own room. Lying in bed, he went through all his plans in his mind once again. Tomorrow, after the novice protection shield disappears, the orc’s Fireblade Tribe will launch an attack on his territory.
This was no game, it was a real war.
If he died, everything would be over.
He used all his gathered Wriggling Spines to recruit troops, to ensure absolute dominance in this war.
The development of his territory had already surpassed the other lords, so he simply could not afford to fail at this point.
He lay in bed.
Opened the regional channel, it was quite quiet today.
The few people that were speaking were exchanging items.
It seemed that the sudden compulsory task had put a significant amount of pressure on everyone.
Everyone was preoccupied with the arrangements in their own territories and no longer had the energy to chat in the channel.
He closed the channel and immediately entered the God’s Presence state.
“God’s Presence target, Skeleton Giant Bat, compatibility 45%.”
When he opened his eyes again, he had already possessed the Skeleton Giant Bat.
He flapped his wings and flew to the sky, scouting the surroundings of his territory to ensure there were no enemies that night.
After patrolling one round, he found that there was no danger nearby his territory.
He then released the God’s Presence state, lay down on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.
The next day.
“Master, master.”
The not-yet-awake Fang Hao felt someone talking near his ear. When he opened his eyes, he saw Eira bending over and whispering softly. Her upper body was leaning low, which caused her already barely covered clothing to open wide and reveal a considerable amount of smooth skin. It was a feast for the eyes.
“Ah!” Fang Hao replied instinctively.
“Master, didn’t you say you have an important thing to do today and that you wanted to get up early?” Eira explained softly from the side.
Right, today was the day when the orcs would attack.
“Yes, yes!” Fang Hao immediately sat up and put on his clothes.
After quickly freshening up, he walked out of his room and climbed up the city wall to look into the distance.
The Gnoll camp was to the east of the territory, so the Fireblade Tribe would also come from the east.
Standing on the arrow tower, he saw nothing. The territory outside was still covered by a large forest, possibly hiding the opponent who could be on their way.
Fang Hao directly sat on the ground of the arrow tower, activated the God’s Presence.
“God’s Presence target, Skeleton Giant Bat, compatibility 45%.”
Outside the territory, in a place where troops were gathered.
A Skeleton Giant Bat, with pale blue light emanating from its eyes, flapped its wings and flew to the east.
Flying over the mountains, he indeed saw a large group of orc troops approaching.
He estimated that in about an hour, they would reach the foot of his city.
Fang Hao let the Skeleton Giant Bat perch on a big tree.
He continued to use the God’s Presence to monitor the movement and types of troops of the orcs while deploying his own forces.
Fireblade Tribe.
Last night, the orc scout relayed back the news about the enemy territory. Indeed, there were undead troops patrolling near the territory, but it was not as exaggerated as the Gnoll Clan Leader had said.
He roughly estimated there were five or six thousand in total, and they were all tier 1 skeletons.
Chief Kent, after hearing the information brought back by the scout.
Direcly ordered to execute the Gnoll Clan Leader.
Early in the morning, the entire tribe set off, hastily marching towards the undead territory.
They aimed to flatten this territory before nightfall, to avenge Kedo, and to loot all resources from the village.
“Chief, we can see the enemy territory now.” A wolf-mounted cavalry whispered to the chief’s chariot.
Chief Kent of the Fireblade Tribe, on a chariot pulled by two wolves, was meditating.
Hearing the report from his subordinate, he barely opened his eyes, “Did we spot their human lord?”
‘We didn’t see their lord, he must be hiding within their city walls, but their forces have increased since yesterday, they have also built walls and defense towers.”
“Are they still those skeleton frames?”
“Yes, these are all the lowest grade of undead troops.”
“Humph! Speed up, we want to bring back the resources of this territory to our tribe before dark.” Kent ordered.
Yes.” The cavalry answered, and passed on the chieftain’s order.
The Fireblade Tribe was a nation of warriors, more so now than ever before. Pedestrians were 20000, spear hand were 7 thousand, wolf riders were 3 thousand.
With such a strong combat force, they were not afraid of those inferior skeletons.
Kent held his chin, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
He was already thinking, once he caught that human lord, what kind of torture he should use on him.
He couldn’t just let him die easily, he’d torture him until the very end. Then chop him into pieces, and feed them to the wolves for food.
The team rapidly approached and could see the skeleton army arranged under the enemy’s city when they drew near the local territory.
The skeletons were shining white, wearing armor, with weapons and shields in their hands.
The number was not small, around too thousand.
“Prepare to attack.”
After secretly laughing at the enemy’s self-defeating move, Kent ordered loudly.
On top of the city wall.
Fang Hao looked at the orc army below the city with a serious look on his face. Even though he had made full arrangements and calculated countless times in his heart.
Yet, with the major battle approaching, he felt nervous, depressed, and all kinds of emotions were rising in his heart.
Fang Hao looked at the countdown on the Book of Lords, waiting for the enemy to initiate the attack.
When the countdown reached 0, the system prompt also sounded again. [The novice protection period officially ends.]
[Wishing you all good luck….)
The protective shield above the territory gradually disappeared like a burst balloon.
The orc army in the distance also blew the hom of attack.
Wow~!
The horn sounded.
The orcs, as if they were injected with chicken blood, became quite crazy, they shouted loudly and initiated the attack instantly.
There was no particular strategy to speak of.
All types of soldiers rushed forward together, but due to different speeds, the ranks were broken up.
The ones who rushed to the front were the wolf riders.
They wanted to use their rapid movement to launch the first wave of charge attack.
“Archers can attack now.” Fang Hao issued the command.
On the city wall, Fang Hao had placed 1000 light crossbow holding crossbowmen, who lifted their crossbows to aim at the advancing wolf riders when they heard Fang Hao’s command.
The abrupt rain of arrows took the wolf riders by surprise.
Their formation was instantly broken up, with them spreading out from each other, but the assault continued unabated.
Fang Hao stood on the city wall, watching the cavalry’s changes.
“Eira???? ” Fang Hao murmured under his breath.
Eira was also in full leather armor, her face full of fear.
“My lord.”
“Take care of my body, don’t let it get bumped or scratched.” Fang Hao sat down on the ground.
“Huh?”
Before Eira could understand what was happening, Fang Hao’s body went limp and fell backward.
Eira caught the limp Fang Hao and was at a loss for what to do.
Down the city!
[Target for divination, Skeleton Spearmen, compatibility 75%.]
“Spearmen, step forward two steps, be ready to meet the enemy.” Fang Hao commanded loudly.
All the spearmen stepped forward two steps, aiming their spears at the advancing wolf riders..
