Chapter 472: Bloodthirsty Orcs

"Woo—" A long, drawn-out horn blast sounded, spreading throughout the entire Yaoxing City.

"Lingyun, something seems to have happened outside the city!" Aiweier looked toward the direction the horn sound came from, her expression somewhat grave. "This kind of horn blast is a battle horn that is only blown when the city is under attack."

Originally, Lingyun and his group were supposed to leave Yaoxing City a few days ago, but for some unknown reason, the Teleportation Magic Array of Yaoxing City had malfunctioned, and the people from the Magician Guild were still repairing it. Faced with this situation, Lingyun and his group had no choice but to stay in Yaoxing City for the time being.

"Let's go, let's go see what exactly is going on," Lingyun said to the others.

When Lingyun and his group arrived on the main street, they happened to see many people moving toward the direction of the city gates, clearly wanting to understand what had happened to make Yaoxing City blow such a horn.

However, Lingyun and his group were quickly stopped. Yaoxing City had already entered a state of war, and the city walls were already guarded by the Army, so naturally, they would not let people go up easily. Of course, it was not just Lingyun and his group who were stopped; other people were also blocked by the garrison Army.

Faced with this situation, Lingyun simply waved his hand, and an invisible Magic Array enveloped the four of them. After being enveloped by the Magic Array, the presence of the four of them instantly became faint, and the people around them subconsciously ignored their existence.

Borrowing the power of the Magic Array, the four of them bypassed the obstruction of the Pawn and arrived on the city wall. Looking out, the city wall of Yaoxing City was already packed with people; seeing their serious expressions, it was clear that this time the opponent was no pushover.

"No way, aren't these the Bloodthirsty Orcs of the Orc Empire? How could they appear in this place?" Aiweier exclaimed as she looked at the Army marching toward Yaoxing City in the distance.

"Bloodthirsty Orcs?" Lingyun looked at the Army in the distance, his eyes narrowing.

"Aiweier, what are Bloodthirsty Orcs?" Chen Jing, who was on the side, asked.

"Bloodthirsty Orcs are the most powerful and cruel Army of the Orc Empire. The vast majority of the Orcs in this Army are death-row prisoners who committed serious crimes in the Orc Empire. Orcs who join the Bloodthirsty Orc Army have the Orc Empire's unique Bloodthirsty Magic applied to them. After being subjected to Bloodthirsty Magic, all the attributes of these Orcs will be greatly improved, and at the same time, they will lose their sense of pain, becoming wild and bloodthirsty, destroying every obstacle they face," Aiweier said with a serious face.

"But the price for this kind of magic must be high, otherwise the Orc Empire wouldn't just use death-row prisoners to form the Bloodthirsty Orc Army!" Su Wanyue asked.

"That's right, the Bloodthirsty Orcs are so powerful because they burn their lives in exchange. These Bloodthirsty Orcs can be said to be one-time consumables; after the battle ends, almost all the surviving Bloodthirsty Orcs will die due to the exhaustion of their life force," Aiweier nodded. "Moreover, the Orc Shamans in the Orc Empire who can use Bloodthirsty Magic are extremely rare, the number of people the Bloodthirsty Magic can affect is limited, and using Bloodthirsty Magic is also a great drain on the Orc Shamans. It is precisely because of these various shortcomings that the Orc Empire hasn't used this magic to sweep across the entire Continent."

"Sweep across the entire Continent?" Lingyun couldn't help but chuckle, "You think too highly of this Bloodthirsty Magic. This magic is almost ineffective against existences above the Saint Domain. Facing the Bloodthirsty Orc Army, any Heavenly Domain or even a Half-step Heaven Realm could easily sweep them away."

"Hey, it's a Bloodthirsty Orc Army attacking the city right now, and you still have the mood to discuss these things here!" Chen Jing said crossly, looking at Lingyun and his group who were chatting.

"It seems we don't need to intervene for the time being!" Lingyun looked at the garrison commander who was giving orders not far away and said slowly. "Looking at him, he seems quite confident in defending against this attack by the Orc Empire."

The garrison commander Lingyun mentioned was a commander wearing silver armor. The aura on this commander was very powerful, and his strength was estimated to have reached the Saint Domain Mid-stage.

Under the command of that garrison commander, the Magician belonging to the Army quickly took their positions and began to chant a long Joint Battlefield Magic. At the same time, the Magic Crystal Cannons opened their ports, aiming at the Bloodthirsty Orcs in the distance. The archers also slowly drew the special longbows in their hands, the special arrows shining with cold light under the sun.

"But this is a bit strange. Although Yaoxing City is on the edge of the Haoxing Empire, it does not directly border the Orc Empire. How did this Bloodthirsty Orc Army pass through the border defense line of the Haoxing Empire and come to this place?" Aiweier asked.

"I'm not sure about that, but one thing is certain: after this city-attacking incident, the border of the Haoxing Empire will definitely undergo a major reshuffle! After all, letting the enemy enter the country is a grave crime!" Lingyun said, looking at the dense mass of Bloodthirsty Orcs in the distance.

"Fire!" Upon seeing the Bloodthirsty Orc Army enter the effective attack range, the garrison commander waved his hand violently, and the war magic that had been prepared was released, turning a large area of land outside Yaoxing City into a swamp in an instant.

The charging Bloodthirsty Orcs instantly fell into the swamp, unable to move an inch. After the Bloodthirsty Orc Army fell into the swamp, the Magic Crystal Cannons on the city wall fired in unison, and dozens of streams of light cut through the sky, falling into the area where the Bloodthirsty Orcs were most dense.

"Boom—" Dozens of Magic Crystal Cannons exploded simultaneously, and the huge shockwave instantly swept across the entire battlefield. The Bloodthirsty Orcs at the center of the explosion were instantly blown into fragments, and the surrounding Orcs were also blown away by the shockwave; the entire Orc Army fell into chaos in an instant.

While the Orc Army was in chaos, the archers in the garrison Army released their longbows in unison, and a rain of arrows whistled toward the Bloodthirsty Orcs under the city. The Bloodthirsty Orcs who had not yet reacted from the shockwave were instantly shot down in droves. The Bloodthirsty Orcs possessed strong muscles and had high resistance to ordinary arrows. However, these arrows could easily pierce through the Bloodthirsty Orcs; it was clear that these special arrows were crafted specifically to deal with the Bloodthirsty Orcs.

"This battle situation seems a bit wrong. These Bloodthirsty Orcs are too weak!" Looking at this battle, Aiweier couldn't help but frown.

"Indeed, it is a bit wrong. Although most of the guys in the Orc Empire have brains full of muscles, there is no shortage of resourceful Orcs. The person who could bring an Orc Army here is clearly no fool!" Lingyun nodded.

"In other words, do they still have a backup plan?" Su Wanyue asked.

"That's right! But I'm curious, what exactly is the backup plan worth the Orc Army commander paying the price of so many Bloodthirsty Orcs!" Lingyun said.
