Chapter 17: An Ogre Leader of the Black Iron Realm!

Boom—!

A loud noise erupted from the battlefield; more than ten Undead Skeleton Soldiers were sent flying, their bodies shattering into pieces in mid-air.

Qin Luo's gaze sharpened. He saw a black-skinned, green-faced monster, a full three meters tall, appear on the battlefield. Its entire body was covered in hard, scaled armor, and its pair of fangs were half a meter long. It raised its massive hands high, and the black mist permeating its palms seeped into the bodies of the surrounding Undead Skeleton Soldiers.

Every skeleton soldier eroded by the black smoke developed black cracks across its bones, which then crumbled and turned into a pile of bone ash.

Awoo!

The Ogre Leader joined the battlefield, unleashing powerful combat prowess. It instantly killed dozens of Undead Skeleton Soldiers, boosting the morale of the Ogre army and turning the tide of the battle!

"Such a strong Ogre!"

"Judging by its aura, it has likely reached the Black Iron Realm!"

Qin Luo's expression changed.

He never expected that such a powerful monster was hidden within the Ogre army!

Although Qin Luo had hundreds, even thousands, of Undead Skeleton Soldiers under his command, their strength was ultimately only at the Ordinary Realm.

Do not underestimate the difference between the Ordinary Realm and the Black Iron Realm; they are not on the same level of existence.

"Eliminate the ordinary Ogres first!"

Qin Luo immediately ordered. "All Undead Skeleton Warriors, assemble and block the Ogre Leader's path!"

At this moment, more than half of the two hundred-plus Ogres had been killed. As long as they continued the assault, they could kill all the ordinary Ogres.

Even if only the Ogre Leader remained in the end, two fists cannot fight four hands; it would be defeated sooner or later.

Qin Luo stepped forward, and a ring engraved with a wolf's head appeared in his hand!

Wolf Howl!

After use, it increases the attack power of his units by 20%!

A roar that resounded across the battlefield erupted. The attack power of all the Undead Skeletons increased, becoming the final straw that crushed the Ogre army.

Five more minutes of fighting passed, and the ordinary Ogres were basically slaughtered.

On the battlefield, only the three-meter-plus Ogre Leader remained, struggling to hold on.

Standing around the Ogre Leader were nearly ten Undead Skeleton Warriors, nearly two meters tall, holding sharp bone spears. Their strength was the same as Wang Yi, all at Ordinary Three-Star!

The reason so many Undead Skeleton Warriors appeared had everything to do with the Ogre Leader.

The number of Undead Skeletons that had fallen to the Ogre Leader alone exceeded two hundred!

After this war, the casualty rate of the Undead side was even higher than that of the Ogres.

"Attack together!"

One of the Undead Skeleton Warriors shouted, charging forward first. At an extremely tricky angle, it fiercely stabbed into the Ogre's leg, then quickly withdrew, bringing out a pile of shredded meat and foul-smelling black blood.

Other Undead Skeleton Warriors swarmed up, fearless of death.

The Ogre Leader was, after all, of the Black Iron Realm and was not so easily killed. Its massive hands grabbed an Undead Skeleton Warrior, and with a sudden burst of strength, it crushed the skeleton's bones.

Bang!

The Undead Skeleton Warrior's bones snapped and it was tossed aside.

However, it did not end there. An Undead Skeleton standing by the dead warrior began absorbing the Undead Power released by the fallen warrior. In just a few seconds, its strength jumped from Ordinary One-Star to Ordinary Three-Star, and it quickly joined the ranks surrounding the Ogre Leader.

This scene had not happened for the first time!

"Devour Evolution is simply a god-tier skill!"

"The casualties of the Undead Army in battle not only do not weaken their overall strength but instead cultivate a small number of powerhouses!"

Qin Luo remarked, "Therefore, the only way to weaken the Undead Army is to wipe out the entire force at once. Otherwise, they will only grow stronger the more they fight!"

Thus, the Ogre Leader became the first victim!

Woo!

The Ogre Leader let out a wail of unwillingness and was slain here by the many Undead Skeleton Warriors.

【Ding, congratulations on successfully resisting all offensives from the 'Ogres'. You have obtained 800 Energy Points, 100 Ordinary Realm Magic Crystals, 1 Black Iron Realm Magic Crystal, 1 Ogre Heart, and 1 Black Iron Grade Treasure Chest. Affected by the Scarlet Moon rules, kill rewards are doubled.】

As soon as the Ogre Leader fell, Qin Luo heard the reward from the system.

Just as he was about to check the rewards, a violent tremor came from the ground.

He turned to look and saw a large group of monsters approaching from afar.

"What is going on?"

"Wasn't it said that all offensives had been resisted?"

"How can there still be monsters attacking the city?"

Qin Luo's expression was puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it and immediately ordered the Undead Army, which had just finished a great battle, to prepare to fight again.

Fortunately, the Undead Army were not flesh and blood; they had no issues with lack of stamina or fatigue. Even if injured, it would not affect their combat power. They were fearless and dauntless, charging forward until the very moment they died.

When Qin Luo arrived at the other side of the territory, he discovered that the approaching monsters were a group of Black Magic Pigs, a size larger than the Red Wolves.

Judging by their appearance and aura, they should also belong to the Dark Race, dark creatures that had fallen into evil after being eroded by magic energy.

However, why they would attack Qin Luo's territory was a bit strange!

The Black Magic Pig herd moved from far to near, soon reaching the boundary line of the territory and crazily ramming against the white barrier.

Inside the barrier, Qin Luo was close at hand. Behind him stood ten Ordinary Three-Star Undead Skeleton Warriors, two of whom had powerful auras, likely only a step away from the Black Iron Realm.

Behind the Undead Skeleton Warriors were thirty or forty Ordinary Two-Star Undead Skeleton Warriors, and behind them were the Ordinary One-Star Undead Skeleton Soldiers.

Although the battle with the Ogre Leader had caused heavy losses to his Undead Skeletons, there were also significant benefits.

At least, there was no upper limit to recruiting Ordinary One-Star Undead Skeleton Soldiers; as long as there were resources, he could have as many as he wanted.

But stronger Undead Skeletons needed to be cultivated slowly.

Although Qin Luo had a large number of Undead, he lacked high-end combat power, which was one of his drawbacks.

If there had been Black Iron Realm Undead, the battle against the Ogre Leader would not have been so tragic.

"They are all just Ordinary Realm Black Magic Pigs; their individual strength is likely not even comparable to the Ogres!"

"The number is a bit high, three or four hundred, but they are all here to die!"

"Even if there are Black Iron Realm Black Magic Pigs, they cannot escape death!"

Qin Luo waved his hand, and the Undead Army behind him rushed out of the white barrier to engage the Black Magic Pig herd.

The ten Undead Skeleton Warriors charged at the very front, their sharp bone spears rising and falling, splashing blood and harvesting the lives of the Black Magic Pigs one by one.

Qin Luo watched for a while; if there were no accidents, these Black Magic Pigs would surely die.

Seeing that the battle had no suspense, Qin Luo began to check his recent gains.
