Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 30: Drinking Water with Your Butt is Also a Specialty
“So many mages in the human army?”
Biden Bloodfang’s heart tightened as he watched the goblin vanguard being blown apart by various spells, his eyes widening.
“It’s those undisciplined humans, casting only basic spells… a bunch of mage apprentices?”
Mage apprentices are not to be feared. Their spells are weak and cannot inflict effective damage on the Orc heavy infantry. Moreover, their meager magic power limits the number of spells they can cast.
When the goblin cannon fodder depletes the mages’ magic power and the archers’ stamina, it will be time for the Orc army to slaughter.
Biden Bloodfang breathed a sigh of relief, and a confident smile reappeared on his face.
The battle on the battlefield remained fierce.
Xi Wei was directing the troops in an orderly fashion.
“Shield Soldiers, cover the militia archers and foreign mages, and retreat immediately by a hundred paces.”
“Foreign Warriors, push forward!”
The warrior players, who had long been restless, “roared” as soon as they heard Xi Wei’s command and couldn’t wait to charge at the goblin vanguard.
“Armor Up! (Fortitude Skill)”
“Loyally serve the country in times of crisis, facing death as if returning home! Kill!”
“Wow! Goblins of level seven or eight give good experience!”
“If you’re my brother, attack goblins with me!”
“Cannon Fodder Legion, charge!”
“Face the wind!”
A distance of tens of steps was covered in an instant, and the player warriors clashed head-on with the goblin vanguard.
“Eat my slide tackle!”
“Goo gua wa la!”
“Damn! Who’s stabbing me in the ass!”
“Rua, rua!”
…
The battles between the warrior players and the goblins were extremely fierce, the scene chaotic, and the intensity of the fighting between both sides was indescribable.
Eye-gouging, nose-poking, ass-splitting, root-grabbing, anything went.
Xi Wei twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly. (￣ー￣)
Seeing that the first wave of warrior players was about to be annihilated, Xi Wei turned around, waved his hand, and shouted:
“All archers, prepare for volley fire—”
“Fire!”
“All foreign mages, Fireball, prepare for flat trajectory—”
“Fire!”
A rain of arrows and flying Fireballs descended upon the goblin vanguard’s formation again, killing a large number of goblins and also taking down some players who weren’t completely dead.
“Damn! On that day, I never thought that what killed me would not be the enemy! But the betrayal of my own allies!”
A player said tearfully, covered in arrows, and fell to the ground on the ground.
“Stop spouting nonsense and get back to your corpses. Those are all walking experience points!”
…
Under the cover of archers and mages, the warrior players, through constant resurrection, continuously depleted the number of Orc army’s cannon fodder.
Soon, a group of goblins was so terrified that they began to beg for mercy, ran around in panic, and even charged into their own formations in fear.
The players had already charged to the front of the Orc army’s heavy infantry. However, these towering Orc Warriors clad in heavy armor did not allow the players to continue their rampage.
A warrior Orc raised its greatsword and directly split a player who was charging forward with a “roar” in half.
“Holy crap! My eyes!”
“Hahaha, that idiot Sun Piercing Steel Plate, charged without even looking.”
“Let me identify… Damn it, an Orc infantry of level 18. No wonder they cut us like vegetables.”
The players discussed among themselves and prepared to try to deal with the Orc warriors in groups of five, but it was still meaningless. They were quickly surrounded and killed by one or two Orc infantrymen.
Xi Wei knew that at this point in the war, the role of melee players was no longer significant. The victory from now on would depend on him.
“All foreign warriors, retreat and protect the archers and the Mage Regiment.”
“All Knights, heed my command! Gather around me!”
Xi Wei sat majestically on his Dragon Blood Horse, clenched his fist, and raised it high. All the knights under his command gathered around him.
“Radiant Bastion!”
Xi Wei let out a low cry. Golden light flashed on all the knights, and a phantom image engraved with swords and shields appeared above their heads before sinking into their bodies and disappearing.
This was Xi Wei’s buff skill, but not an area-of-effect skill. It was a skill with a limit on the number of people, and it could currently only cover up to a hundred people.
The nearly a hundred knights under Xi Wei felt that their defense and resilience had significantly increased. Correspondingly, their warhorses’ charge capability also improved.
“Baron Talomb, I ask you to lead your knights to follow our army’s charge next,” Xi Wei said coldly, glancing at Talomb, his tone leaving no room for doubt. “I will have Clemon watch you. If you dare to play any tricks, you will surely die a more miserable death than the Orcs.”
Afterward, Xi Wei ignored the Baron Talomb, whose expression was uncertain. He drew the greatsword from behind him, pointed its tip toward the Orc encampment.
“All Knights, charge with me, target the enemy encampment! Shield Soldiers, follow up and mop up, making sure to prevent the Orc infantry from encircling us!”
“Yes!”
“Hoo—”
A deep and powerful attack horn sounded. Xi Wei, wielding his greatsword, led the charge, a hundred paces away in the blink of an eye. The Dragon Blood Horse leaped into the Orc infantry formation, its greatsword sweeping across, blood splattering, and limbs flying.
The cavalry behind him charged with high spirits, their horses’ hooves thundering.
“Clang—”
With a deafening impact, it was like a heavy hammer smashing into the enemy formation, sending the Orc infantrymen tumbling.
The players watched dumbfounded as the Lord of Eagle Territory and his knights charged back and forth among the Orcs. Wherever they went, severed limbs and flowing blood marked their path, their valiant and ferocious appearance like that of demons.
One player’s eyes were filled with admiration and longing, sighing:
“Alas! My father once said that a man should either don armor and fight on the battlefield, or wear plain clothes and save lives!”
“Or join the gay gang and travel around?”
“Or hang yourself on the wall and frame it??”
“Or drive an excavator and thank New Oriental???”
“…Enough!”
“Brothers, if I were to defect to the Lord of Eagle Territory, would he take me?”
“What use are you? Or rather, what are your specialties?”
“Does being able to drink water with my butt count as a specialty? (◦˙▽˙◦)”
“?? Hurry up and start a live stream, I’ll borrow money to give you gifts!”
…
Seeing the human general charging wantonly through his army as if in an uninhabited land, Biden Bloodfang could no longer sit still. He waved his wolf-tooth club, urged his direwolf, and charged at Xi Wei, roaring:
“Human, you will pay the price for enraging the valiant Orc Warriors! (Orcish)”
Xi Wei decapitated an Orc infantryman with a sword. Hearing the guttural roar from behind, he turned and saw a red-skinned Orc with a lion-like head and bared fangs, riding a direwolf, approaching him.
It was the general of the Orc army.
Xi Wei focused his attention, and the information of the Orc general was instantly apparent.
[Name: Biden Bloodfang]
[Identity: Commander of the 18th Army of the Seething Blood Legion of the Orc Empire]
[Strength: Tribe Leader Level 42 (41-50)]
[Skills: Legion Will, Orc Blood Boil, Berserk, Crushing Compaction, Beast Affinity]
[Equipment: Bloodfang Tribe Leader Armor (Master), Bone Crusher (Fine)]
[Orc Empire Reputation: 4239 (He is a newly promoted general)]
[Kolon Empire Reputation: 1748 (His brutal massacre has devastated the Black River Territory)]
“I thought he was going to be that fierce?”
Xi Wei sneered, gripped his greatsword, and swung it in a cleave that met Biden Bloodfang’s wolf-tooth club.
Biden Bloodfang felt a massive force transmitted through his hand, causing his palm to hurt, and the direwolf beneath him let out a painful howl.
He couldn’t help but feel shocked in his heart. This human before him possessed such immense strength.
