Chapter 97: The Orcs' Apprehension! The Undead's Preparations!

"Huh, it doesn't hurt anymore!"

Sapat said with pleasant surprise, "Thank you, Priest!"

"Everyone, do not be afraid!"

"Although this is an Undead curse, the power of this curse is not great!"

"I can dispel it with a wave of my hand, and my preliminary assessment is that these curses do not possess contagiousness!"

The Orc Priest clearly let out a sigh of relief and said to the crowd, "Carry the injured down; I will treat them in a moment!"

"Priest, is it really okay?"

The Orc Patriarch Runinuo walked over and asked in a low voice.

"No major problems discovered for now!"

The Orc Priest whispered, "It is also possible that they were just infected with the curse, and its power has not yet fully erupted!"

Undead without command versus Undead with command!

The power unleashed by the two is simply not on the same level.

The dignified Orc Patriarch, possessing Bronze Realm strength, nonetheless harbored no small amount of fear toward the Undead.

"Then, in your opinion, do the Undead outside come from the God and Demon Burial Ground?"

"Yes!"

The Orc Priest looked outside and sighed lightly, "But in this area, besides the Undead of the God and Demon Burial Ground, where else could there be Undead?"

If his judgment were wrong, not only would he die, but the entire Orc Tribe would be buried along with him.

His treatment just now had indeed dispelled the curse on Sapat!

As for the curses on the others, it was impossible to determine.

This was clearly an Undead curse, a unique product of the God and Demon Burial Ground.

And with his own strength, he could naturally see that these Skeleton Soldiers were only of Ordinary Realm strength.

Endless Undead surged toward the Orc Tribe like a tide, and soon, they had surrounded the entire Orc Tribe.

But they could not feel happy at all; this meant that behind these Undead was at least one mastermind possessing wisdom and independent consciousness.

Yet despite this, the Orc Tribe still dared not underestimate this force of Undead!

If the enemy outside were not Undead, but the Human race, or Goblins, Dwarves, or other such racial beings, Runinuo would likely have led the Orc army out to slaughter them long ago!

But because of the existence of the God and Demon Burial Ground, Runinuo dared not make a judgment lightly.

Yet strangely, the Undead Skeleton Soldiers did not immediately launch an attack.

Looking out, the figures of Skeleton Soldiers were everywhere.

"Cannot judge!"

Ordinary Undead Skeleton Soldiers are inherently low-intelligence things, not even as good as the instinctual consciousness of a wild beast!

Orc Patriarch Runinuo wore a grave expression as he looked outside.

What made him even more apprehensive was that Sapat and the nearly one hundred Orcs who returned all exhibited unknown symptoms.

Much worse than the Orcs of his own tribe!

But with the enemy right before them, even if the problem were more serious, the Orc Priest could not say it to their faces, otherwise, morale would be unstable.

A large part of the reason for the disintegration of the Orc Kingdom many years ago was the backlash from Undead curses.

But what Orc Patriarch Runinuo did not know was that this Undead curse did indeed come from an Undead curse, but it did not come from the so-called God and Demon Burial Ground.

It came from a piece of Lord Equipment that Qin Luo had just obtained!

If Qin Luo's trade with Ye Junwei had been half an hour later, Sapat and the others who were attacked would have at most been injured; how would they have been cursed!

Outside the Orc Tribe!

Within the Undead Army!

"I sense a very powerful aura on that city wall!"

"It is definitely a Bronze Realm powerhouse, no doubt!"

"And I feel that the opponent's strength is likely above mine!"

Death Knight Wang Yi, currently riding an Undead Flame Demon Beast, gazed at the towering city wall in the distance, also revealing a grave expression.

The Undead beast he was on was a mount modified for him by Wu Ershiyi, using the remains of a Bronze Realm Flame Demon General as the main body, combined with the bones of some Black Iron Realm fierce beasts, and it successfully retained the power of the Flame Demon's flames! Finally, it became an Undead Flame Demon Beast whose strength also reached Bronze One-Star!

Death Knight Wang Yi had contracted with the Undead mount, turning it into his partner (mount).

Only in this way could the Death Knight be considered a true Death Knight!

"Two against one, surely you can't be beaten!"

Wu Ershiyi glanced at Wang Yi's mount and said indifferently, "It's agreed this time: after the Orc Tribe is conquered, I want the remains of that Bronze Realm Orc!"

"No problem, I don't have much use for them anyway!"

"However, I didn't say there was only one Bronze Realm opponent!"

Wang Yi said.

"What?"

Wu Ershiyi was clearly stunned for a moment.

After all, he had not yet broken through to the Bronze Realm, and at such a distance, he only knew there were many Orcs on the city wall, and their auras were also very strong.

But how strong exactly, and whether there were Orcs with Bronze Realm strength, he had no way of knowing.

"There are two auras of Bronze Realm powerhouses!"

"One's blood and Qi are at their zenith, as dazzling as the sun!"

"The other has been hiding, but the opponent just released a force; it seems to be magic energy, but it is definitely not something a Black Iron Realm could possess!"

Wang Yi said.

"Oh, so that's one Bronze Realm warrior and one Bronze Realm magic-user, then!"

Wu Ershiyi was instead eager to try, "Those Orcs seem to be frightened by our formation and dare not leave the city. What plan do you have? Start a frontal assault?"

"That city wall is too high, and your Undead Giant Beasts are too few in number, and their targets are too obvious!"

"If we conduct a frontal assault, the casualties will certainly be very high!"

Death Knight Wang Yi said.

"Then we'll wait until night!"

Wu Ershiyi felt that they still had to use the same set of tactics used against the Dwarf village. "It just so happens that when we wait until night, the one hundred seeds we buried will be able to better coordinate with our actions, achieving an inside-out strike!"

Wu Ershiyi decided to first collect monster remains to build more Undead Giant Beasts, using them as meat shields in the front row to reduce the number of Undead deaths.

And the time for the general offensive was decided for the night.

Although visibility is poor at night, it has little impact on the Undead.

Instead, influenced by the Scarlet Moon, once the Orcs leave the territory, their strength will be weakened.

"Split into two paths!"

"You lead an army to collect monster remains nearby, and I will stay behind to watch the Orc Tribe!"

"Although we have decided to launch the attack at night, we cannot let the Orcs live too comfortably!"

"Bring over the Dwarf race's magic cannons and bombard them fiercely; let's see if we can collapse the city wall!"

Death Knight Wang Yi said.

As the commander, Wang Yi needed to consider many aspects.

In dealing with the Orc Tribe, the Undead encountered several difficulties.

One was that the overall and average strength of the Orc Tribe was significantly stronger than that of the Dwarf race; the number of Orcs reaching the Black Iron Realm was not small, and even ordinary Orc warriors had the strength of Ordinary Three-Star!

The second was that the city walls were high and thick, and the defense system was strong; if they blindly assaulted, they would certainly have to pay a huge price to take it.

The third point is that there are two top-tier Bronze Realm powerhouses in the Orc Tribe.

And on the Undead side, they could barely count as two!

Wang Yi himself, and the Undead mount beneath him, modified from a Flame Demon General!

But once engaged in a frontal battle, Wang Yi did not have the certainty of victory.
