Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 579: Chapter 451, Confrontation Under the City_3

Whoo-hoo!!

A ghostly, dragon-like howling echoed followed by a hundred thousand arrows descending like a massive iron net over the orc camp.

The armies gathered outside the city were a council of forces from various orc villages.

Looking up, they saw arrows raining down.

The fierce and valiant orcs’ faces were filled with panic and fear.

In an instant, their orderly ranks broke apart.

They scattered in all directions, looking for places and objects to shield themselves.

Crackling!!

In the blink of an eye, the arrows landed.

The orcs covered by the volley fell in droves.

The earth was dotted with bodies pierced by countless arrows that stood upright like a wheat field.

The united army of the orcs amounted to about 70,000.

In the Undead camp alone, there were a hundred thousand skeleton archers.

A volley took down large swathes of the orc army.

A surviving orc looked around at the bodies strewn about, his eyes bloodshot. He clutched his head and let out anguished howls.

After his howling, he pulled out the arrows lodged in his body, stumbled to his feet, and walked away.

He had to go back. He had to inform his village.

The undead army was too vast. The Blackstone Tribe couldn’t stop it. He had to warn the women and children in the village to leave quickly.

Ignoring the military governor’s rebukes, the orc continued out.

Thud!!

The Blackstone Tribe’s military governor swung his sword and cut off the head of the fleeing orc.

Loudly, he reminded the others, “The Great Commander has issued the order for all to charge. All who retreat will be executed!!”

The war horn sounded again, a red glow enveloped all the orcs.

Herded by the military governor.

All the orcs began charging towards the undead army.

…

The exchange of arrows.

Constantly flying towards the opposite camp.

Whittling down the numbers of the opposing army.

Magic missiles sketched an arc in the sky above the ranks and crashed among the orc forces.

Limbs were scattered everywhere.

“My lord, the enemy has started charging. A flight unit of about a thousand is approaching under the cover of darkness from the right flank,” a Tauren soldier whispered.

Fang Hao sat on horseback, his gaze fixed on the mushrooming clouds in the sky to his right.

He couldn’t see any flying units, but the report could not have been false. The enemy was likely still a significant distance away.

“Do you know what kind of unit it is?” Fang Hao asked.

The Tauren replied, “Sir, it should be the bat riders of the Blackstone Tribe.”

“Any sighting of the Dragon Clan?” Fang Hao continued.

According to Domina’s intelligence, the Blackstone Tribe had Dragon Clan members, so he had to be cautious.

“No mention of the Dragon Clan in the report from the front, my lord.”

“Good, let Meatfist take command of the infantry. Deploy the skeleton giant bats, intercept every enemy flight unit,” directed Fang Hao.

“Yes, sir.” The Tauren soldier turned and left.

Behind the ranks, an enormous swarm of skeleton giant bats soared into the sky.

Using the cover of the dark sky, they flew straight into the oncoming enemy flight unit.

…

“Follow me, kill them all.”

As the orc army approached, Meatfist issued the attack order.

With himself at the front, accompanied by many close-quarters infantry, they charged straight at the enemy forces.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

With each punch Meatfist threw, a fan-shaped blast was created.

All enemies within three meters were blown away, forming a series of vacuum zones.

Behind Meatfist, were countless towering skeleton trolls and Barren Tomb Guards with dual swords.

Without any intentions of defense, they directly plunged into hand-to-hand combat.

The forces of the two sides clashed at the center of the battlefield.

The skeletons tirelessly wielded their weapons. Even when their bodies were damaged, it did not affect their combat abilities.

Under the enhancement of the Undead war drums.

The even recently fallen skeletons got back up, discarded damaged parts, replaced them with bones from their comrades and rejoined the fight.

Behind Meatfist and others.

A line of shield barriers formed by skeleton warriors started pushing forward, step by step.

Like a bulldozer, they pushed the orcs to retreat.

Any orc they encountered along the way that wasn’t completely dead was finished off by the following skeletons.

The entire army was like a meat grinder.

Constantly advancing, continuously killing.

The ground was carpeted with bodies. Blood mixed with rainwater to form rivers.

Now, the orcs realized the stark reality. The undead army in front of them was fundamentally different from the wild undead they had encountered before.

Not only did the undead have numbers far greater than theirs.

They were also superior in terms of equipment and organization. This was a war they could not possibly win.

Facing the relentless advance of the undead, like an iron wall, the orc army began to collapse into chaos.

Some started fighting with the orc general.

They were desperate to escape from this place.

More and more orcs turned against the general and the number of escapees became uncontrollable.

…

As time passed.

Wherever they looked, they saw only bones and bodies of orcs.

The whole area resembled a gruesome, bloody purgatory on earth.

Still, the undead remained unaffected and continued to press forward while the orcs, at the rear, were in full retreat.

Squeak!!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

More and more orcs began to flee.

Those at the front charging suddenly found there was no one behind them.

Turning around, they discovered that the Blackstone Tribe’s army had already withdrawn into the city and the city gate was closed.

Those orcs left outside had been simply abandoned. They were being used as cannon fodder to wear down the enemy’s numbers.

Seeing the Blackstone Tribe close the city gates and retreat within their walls.

Those left outside did not want to become sacrifices either.

No one wanted to continue fighting the undead.

Those far from the center fled in all directions, while those unable to escape simply dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Faced with surrendering orcs, the skeletons simply tied them up.

They were not immediately killed, giving hope to many more orcs.

Within half an hour of the city gates closing.

The battlefield was left with only the advancing skeleton army and the Blackstone Tribe preparing for a siege.

Next, the siege would begin.
