Chapter 359: The Mob of Players

In the wilderness, thousands of orcs gathered together.

The orc Priest was a burly middle-aged man; on his chest was a wide, thick gash, a wound inflicted by the Arcane of the Arcane Empire.

Only now had his injuries barely healed, and the blood had stopped flowing.

"My sons, a great blizzard is about to sweep through. If we do not conquer a city to spend the winter in, we will freeze to death in the wilderness!

Before us lies Koya City.

And we, at this moment, need grain and meat.

Not far away is a human settlement with a large amount of grain and meat.

Take it, and then we shall march toward Koya City!"

The Priest's voice carried a rich, infectious power; the emotions of the orcs present were stirred up, their eyes filled with burning murderous intent.

"Ahead lies the cowardly Saya Kingdom; their people are merely a group of useless folk who only know how to sing. They are only fit to be our slaves!"

Their Kunan Orc Tribe belonged to the large-scale type among all orc tribes.

Among the human empires, the only one they feared was the Arcane Empire, which was also the one that had destroyed them.

As for the Saya Kingdom, the Priest did not hold it in any regard at all.

In the past, every winter, a small portion of orcs would slip into Koya City to conduct raids, and each time they would reap a bountiful harvest.

Sometimes, to avoid greater losses, their City Lord Morei would even secretly send out supplies and human slaves to prevent further damage.

However, Koya City now had a new master, and its ruler was Prince Lin.

Yet, whether it was Prince Lin or Morei, in the Priest's heart, both were cowards.

In his mind, apart from the Arcane Empire, other human kingdoms were not worth fearing.

The thousand-strong remnant army set out at this moment, enough to annihilate a human army ten times their size.

Of course, that was on the condition that the army was not one from the Arcane Empire.

"Kill!"

"For food!"

"For meat!"

These orcs, holding their weapons, charged toward the human settlement ahead.

At this time, on Tieshi Mountain, all the players stopped what they were doing and gathered together.

They looked at the dark, dense mass in the distance, expressions of curiosity appearing on their faces.

"Are those orcs?"

"They look so ugly!"

"And they have tusks!"

"I heard this is the Kunan Orc Tribe, one of the ten great orc tribes.

Their main force has already been wiped out by the Arcane Empire, and this remnant army is now setting their sights on us."

"A bunch of stray dogs, daring to set their sights on us!"

All the players had already gathered together.

Currently, the Guard Team and the Resident Committee held great prestige among the players.

The Resident Committee was responsible for daily management.

And the Guard Team was responsible for military management.

At present, there were approximately fifteen hundred people gathered together.

These players were all professionals and possessed decent combat power.

At this moment, a voice entered their ears.

【The despicable Kunan Orcs are invading our homeland. Warriors, take up your weapons and drive these filthy orcs out of our home!

Do you accept the quest: Resist the Kunan Orc Invasion?】

"Accept!"

"Accept!"

At this moment, no one hesitated; everyone accepted the quest.

Ye Di looked at the orcs ahead, a wild look on his face: "Brothers, charge! A bunch of remnants, and they still want to fight us!"

"Right, they got beaten so hard by the Arcane Empire they don't even know who they are, yet they come to find trouble with us? Do they think we're easy to bully?"

"However, we must be careful; after all, the opponent is a regular army!"

"Don't worry, what's there to fear!"

"We've even killed demons, are we afraid of orcs?"

These players, in twos and threes, charged toward the orc remnant army.

On the watchtower, Lan Guang looked at the dense mass of orcs in the distance, a look of fear appearing on his face.

Those were Kunan Orcs, synonymous with evil, all of them powerful monsters.

In the past, Kunan Orcs would always come to the Saya Kingdom to raid.

Lan Guang was also very afraid of the Kunan Orcs; at this moment, he still felt worried in his heart.

"I hope Prince Lin's warriors can hold off the Kunan Orcs!" Lan Guang prayed in his heart.

At this time, he stood on the watchtower, watching the orcs and the warriors under Prince Lin quickly close the distance, about to collide, his heart jumping into his throat.

After all, this group of professionals was protecting them.

At this time, about fifteen hundred players, holding their weapons, charged toward that group of orc troops.

Ye Di charged at the very front, his eyes bloodshot with excitement.

War is a man's romance.

Violence is engraved in the genes of humanity.

"Kill!"

Ye Di could already see the faces of the orcs ahead, and he was exceptionally calm.

Just then, a strange sound arrived.

Ye Di suddenly saw that among the remnants of the orc army ahead, more than thirty orcs suddenly flew into the sky, and they were chanting incantations.

"Wizards?"

"Orc Wizards?"

Such a thought flashed through Ye Di's mind, and suddenly, dozens of spells smashed into their group of players.

Fireball Technique!

Thunderclap Technique!

Whirlwind Technique!

Gravity Technique!

The sounds of explosions and roaring merged together.

The power of these spells was not very great.

However, among the crowd of people rushing toward the players, it caused quite a few difficulties for the players.

"Damn it, I've been hit by the Gravity Technique." Ye Di felt his movements become sluggish.

"I can't see, ah!"

Among the players, there was even a stampede.

Just then, within the orc army, one hundred archers formed a line and shot arrows at them.

The feathered arrows were imbued with spells by the mages, greatly increasing their power and carrying armor-piercing properties.

Puchi!

Arrows fell continuously, and suddenly, many players were injured, and over a dozen unlucky souls were shot dead directly by the arrows.

Before even making formal contact, some players had already died.

Ye Di felt very frustrated and irritable.

"Damn it, they really are a regular army. Brothers, charge with us!"

When the players participated in battle, they all rushed forward blindly without any coordination at all.

Even if there was coordination, it was only small-team coordination.

After all, when they went to grind monsters, it was only small groups coordinating to grind monsters.

They had almost never participated in large-scale warfare.

The demon armies they faced were also small groups, the kind without coordination.

It was nothing like this kind of legion warfare of the orcs, which was very methodical.

Ye Di thought that after this war ended, they players would have to make changes.

If they wanted to develop, legion warfare would be unavoidable in the future; if they continued as scattered soldiers like this, they would suffer a great loss later.

Although players did not fear death, dying all the time was a waste of time, wasn't it?

Furthermore, if their base was taken by the enemy, would they players have any face left?

In the distance, the orc general revealed a smile in his eyes: "A bunch of rabble, completely lacking coordination.

Among the human kingdoms, except for the Arcane Empire, they are all trash."

Mentioning the Arcane Empire, there was a sense of fear in the eyes of this orc general.

In legion warfare, the Kunan Tribe could be considered relatively proficient.

Mages, Warriors, archers, and shield-bearers coordinating in every aspect could be said to have fully exerted the army's strength, achieving a power where one plus one is greater than two.

However, when it came to legion warfare, the Kunan Tribe was still far inferior to the Arcane Empire.

The Arcane Empire's army warfare, coordinating with Golem Puppets, was truly perfect, seamless, and made one invincible.

Yet the group of humans before him not only lacked uniform attire but also only knew how to rush forward, without any method.

Encountering them, the Kunan Orc Tribe could completely annihilate them even if they had several times the numbers.

But at this moment, there was no relaxation on the face of the Priest: "We cannot lower our guard; this group of humans does not seem that simple.

Our mages and archers do not seem to have caused them too many casualties.

They all seem to be professionals, and their professional levels are not very low."

Although those people lacked coordination, their individual strength was high.

"The Priest is right; their average strength exceeds that of our tribal warriors.

However, with the Priest here, we will surely win this battle.

I ask the Priest to cast spells to enhance the strength of the tribal warriors."

The general said from the side.

The Priest nodded.

He rose into the air, chanting incantations in his mouth.

Suddenly, a group spell fell upon all the orcs.

The morale of all the orcs was raised to the Ultimate at this moment.

Moreover, they also had slight strength enhancements and pain-reduction buffs added to them.

"With the Priest's casting, our chances of winning have increased by a few points."

The orc general wore a smile on his face.

After gnawing through this group of bones, they would take the remaining orc troops and occupy Koya City.

At that time, it would be possible to slowly gather the remaining troops of the tribe and slowly accumulate strength.

On the battlefield, the players were hit by another string of spells.

At this moment, they had not yet encountered the main Orc army, yet nearly one hundred had already died, a full one-tenth; this was terrifying.

"Damn it, so frustrating!"

Level 8 Little Tough's face was full of anger.

This was the first time he had encountered such a frustrating battle.

Since coming to the game world, when had they not slaughtered everyone in their path?

Yet today, they were suffering such grievances.

"Qiguang, aren't you a Wizard? Hurry up and cast spells, screw them!" someone roared.

Among the players, there were also quite a few Wizards.

A helpless expression appeared on Qiguang's face: "I want to, but my spells simply cannot threaten them."

The Orc army fought in coordination, and naturally, they had mages specifically guarding against the enemy mages casting spells.

He had just cast a spell once, and it was directly intercepted by the enemy mages working together; the spell had no effect at all.

"This battle is truly frustrating!"

"Damn it, being suppressed by this group of Orcs, it's a disgrace!"

"Their mages and archers are truly disgusting!"

"Watch out for their soldiers, they've added group buffs!"

"They have become much stronger."

On the ground in front of them, whirlpools, mud pits, and swamps appeared.

These were all enemy spells.

But at this moment, they had no other choice and could only bite the bullet and charge.

"Damn it, kill for me!" Ye Di shouted.

Finally, they collided with the Orc army and began to fight head-on.

All the players were overjoyed.

However, their joy did not last long.

The Orcs before them had many buffs added to their bodies, allowing them to exert twenty percent more of their strength, while they themselves were hit by those weakening spells, their strength slightly reduced, making them timid and hesitant in the fight.

Their strength was clearly greater than the Orcs', but when fighting, their casualty rate was much higher than the Orcs'.

If this continued, there was a possibility of defeat.

Shengtian was also among the crowd, his eyes narrowed.

"After this war ends, we must reflect."

"Right, we must establish a Military Committee."

Other players echoed in succession.

"Damn it, these Orcs are too hard to kill!"

"Those mages are truly disgusting!"

"If only Manager would take action," Ye Di suddenly said.

He remembered the style of that one sword strike from Manager when facing the demons back then.

Manager was the game designer, the true Master of this game; if he just changed the code of this game, wouldn't they be invincible?

However, Ye Di was also unsure if Manager would take action.

Yet, just at this moment, a sharp sword Qi struck.

Only to see, above the Heavenly Vault, thick clouds gathering and rolling continuously.

An intense feeling of suffocation swept through at this moment, oppressing the entire world.

Compared to that feeling of suffocation, the slaughter on the battlefield below was like a petty village squabble.

"Manager has taken action!" Ye Di was overjoyed, a look of shock appearing on his face.

"Damn it, you have mages adding buffs, don't we have them too?

We have Manager, your god!"

"Haha, Manager is invincible!"

"Screw their fathers!"

Seeing Lin Chao take action, this group of players was immediately overjoyed.

In their view, Manager was an existence even more powerful than a cheat.

Above the Heavenly Vault, Lin Chao once again unleashed a sword strike.

One Sword Separates the World!

Now that he had stepped into the Legendary realm, the power of this sword had also greatly increased.

One Sword Separates the World was enough to weaken the strength of all the Orcs below by seventy percent.

Even a Legendary, if hit by this sword of his, would also have their strength weakened by fifty percent.

In the Orc army, the general's expression changed drastically: "What is this, a Swordsman?"

"Not good, my strength has dropped by fifty percent, no... sixty percent?" The Priest's expression changed drastically.

He was only one step away from the Legendary realm.

Ordinary Wizards or mages using group-weakening spells would not affect him at all.

Even a Legendary-level professional using such spells would at most weaken his strength by ten or twenty percent.

But now, he had lost sixty percent of his strength in an instant.

"Who is that?" The Priest looked up toward Tieshi Mountain in the distance, and he immediately saw a towering figure.

Upon seeing that figure, his expression changed drastically: "A Legendary!"

That was definitely a Legendary, and furthermore, not even an ordinary Legendary.

"What should we do?" The general was also panicked, not expecting to encounter such a turn of events.

To think there was a Legendary stationed here.

The Legendary had also used such a powerful spell that their strength had been greatly reduced.

If they continued to fight, they would undoubtedly be defeated.

"We leave, leave quickly." The Priest understood at this moment that there was no hope of victory if they continued the attack.

In a war at the thousand-man level, a single Legendary could turn the tide of battle.

Only in a war at the ten-thousand-man level could one or two Legendaries fail to turn the situation around.

"Fine, let's go!" At this moment, the Orc general no longer hesitated and immediately sounded the gong to retreat.

The Orcs fled in all directions.

"Damn it, don't let these bastards run away! Brothers, hurry up and kill them for me!" Seeing that the Orcs were about to escape, Ye Di became anxious.

Just a moment ago, these Orcs were hacking away vigorously while relying on their buffs, but now, it was their turn.

"Charge, brothers!"

Do not pursue a desperate foe.

However, for the players, these Orcs were not desperate foes; they were all money.

They knew that these Orcs were treasures from head to toe.

Moreover, their weapons were clearly much more refined than their own.

"Kill!"

The great counterattack began.

Even though the Orc army had undergone training, they still suffered heavy losses while retreating in the face of players who did not fear death.

Furthermore, they had been hit by a weakening spell.

Therefore, the battlefield immediately became a one-sided affair.

On the watchtower, Lan Guang's face revealed an expression of excitement, and he immediately looked toward Tieshi Mountain, a feeling of piety rising in his heart.

Was that... His Highness the Prince taking action?
