Chapter 376: This Is Called an Orc Tribe?

Viscount Fengming's expression was incredibly ugly.

Behind him were his entire family and household, with only a few dozen guards.

These guards could handle small-scale mountain bandits and outlaws.

However, the opponent was the Light Holy War Army, the most powerful army of the Light Temple.

Even the most powerful army of the Saya Kingdom could not rival the Light Holy War Army; how could his guards possibly defeat them, not to mention that the number of this Light Holy War Army far exceeded theirs.

"Thirty breaths of time will pass quickly, Viscount Fengming; you must consider carefully what is behind you.

You should know very well what is light and what is heavy."

Knight Commander Lei Wu beamed with joy, as if everything were under his control.

Beside him, Viscount Luofei narrowed his eyes: "Viscount Fengming, do not hesitate any longer.

Even if Count Kaixiu appears, he cannot save you.

Oh, right, even that Nine Prince above Count Kaixiu, if he were to appear in person, it would be of no avail."

Knight Commander Lei Wu smiled, tacitly agreeing with Viscount Luofei's words.

Wherever the Light Holy War Army pointed, apart from the three great empires and the other three great temples, there was no city that Lei Wu could not breach.

Viscount Fengming rode on his horse, his face incredibly gloomy; his expression shifted constantly, and finally, he spoke: "There are no people from the Arcane Empire here. Luofei, you are colluding with the Light Holy War Army to take action against the nobles of the Saya Kingdom; this violates the kingdom's laws, and the crime warrants dismemberment!"

Viscount Fengming's words left Viscount Luofei stunned, but immediately after, the smile on his face grew even wider: "It seems Viscount Fengming does not want to hand over the 300,000 Gold."

Knight Commander Lei Wu bared his teeth: "300,000 Gold, I will take it myself."

As he spoke, he let out a loud roar to the Light Holy War Army behind him: "Kill all the men, and as for the women... keep only the young and beautiful ones."

After he finished speaking, the eyes of the Light Holy War Army behind him all revealed expressions of fanaticism and greed.

The Light Temple is pure and flawless, so naturally, it needs people to do the dirty work.

The Light Holy War Army is one such group.

Knight Commander Lei Wu's eyes were filled with cruel laughter; behind him, eight hundred Light Holy War Army soldiers sharpened their blades, waiting only for the final command to charge forward.

Just then, however, a sudden change occurred.

Whoosh!

A feathered arrow suddenly shot over from behind, piercing through the armor of a Light Holy War Army soldier, and that soldier fell directly from his horse.

The sudden enemy attack was something no one had anticipated.

One must know that all members of the Light Holy War Army are professionals.

Their average professional level reached 6.

They wore light armor, which arrows shot by ordinary people could not penetrate at all.

Yet, this arrow actually penetrated the light armor and even shot a Light Holy War Army soldier dead!

"A High-level Professional?" Lei Wu's expression changed slightly; only a High-level Professional could unleash such an arrow.

But immediately after, anger appeared on his face.

In a small city like Koya City, someone actually dared to take action against the Light Holy War Army!

One must know that he led eight hundred Light Holy War Army soldiers; even Legendary-level professionals would take a detour upon seeing him.

However, in the blink of an eye, in an instant, over a dozen more feathered arrows fell.

Each feathered arrow had power no less than the previous one.

In an instant, over a dozen more Light Holy War Army soldiers were shot dead and fell from their horses.

This is... over a dozen High-level Professionals?

Lei Wu's expression finally changed drastically, and he roared: "Enemy attack! Form ranks, defend, counterattack!"

The Light Holy War Army was worthy of being an army that had experienced blood and fire; under Knight Commander Lei Wu's order, the soldiers in the rear immediately turned their horses around, assuming a defensive posture.

Nearly seventy percent of the Light Holy War Army also changed direction in an instant, assuming a defensive posture.

Just then, a high-pitched voice came: "Brothers, charge quickly, these people are all red-named, they have experience!

By the way, don't accidentally hurt the horse team; those are friendly forces!"

Behind the Light Holy War Army, nearly a thousand players appeared.

The thirty people in the lead were all Guard Team members from Tieshi Mountain, led by Ye Di.

Behind him were all ordinary players.

These players, upon hearing Ye Di's words, had eyes that turned red.

After all, in this game, there were few opportunities to go to war with human factions, and more opportunities to kill monsters and enter the Abyss.

This time, going to war with a human faction, these players were naturally pumped up.

"Brothers, last time we beat the Kunan Orc Tribe into a panicked retreat; don't you dare lose the prestige of our Iron Stone City!" Ye Di shouted loudly.

Now, the Guard Team among the Tieshi Mountain players already had three hundred members.

This Guard Team had an average professional level that reached level 11.

These Guard Team members not only had high professional levels but had also undergone training.

After all, they hadn't won the last great battle against the Kunan Orc Tribe very gracefully.

Therefore, they hired military instructors to teach them, and those players in Iron Stone City had also undergone brief training.

Now, every member of the Guard Team could be considered a military theorist; although they hadn't truly commanded a war, they had no problem with armchair strategy.

Behind Ye Di, the thousands of ordinary players did not charge but maintained order, waiting for the Guard Team members to issue commands.

"Thousands of people, where are our scout priests?" Lei Wu's expression was very ugly.

Behind them, thousands of people had suddenly appeared, yet their scout priests had given no warning at all.

"Knight Commander, we cannot contact the scout priests." Someone replied from the side.

Upon receiving this answer, Lei Wu was not surprised.

The opposing side has High-level Professionals, and more than one; sneaking around to ambush a few scout priests is not a difficult task.

Beside him, Luofei's expression also shifted slightly: "These are... Prince Lin's people, from the barbarian tribe."

Lei Wu looked at the players, his expression stiff: "More than thirty High-level Professionals, and you're telling me this is a barbarian tribe?"

In the past, when he went to the Xibu Dalu to wage war and conduct punitive expeditions, the strongest barbarian tribes he wiped out only had two or three High-level Professionals.

Most only had one High-level Professional.

Some didn't even have a single High-level Professional.

And now, over thirty High-level Professionals?

Are these really those savages from the Xibu Dalu?

He recalled what Yaiya had said in bed, and his anger flared up.

This intelligence was simply too absurd!

"B-but, they really are from the barbarian tribe." Viscount Luofei said with a mournful face, looking very unsightly, "Perhaps this barbarian tribe is a bit strong."

"Is this what you call 'a bit strong'?" Lei Wu's face was gloomy, yet he remained calm, maintaining his confidence, "The strength of this barbarian tribe has exceeded my expectations.

However... barbarians are just barbarians.

These barbarians are not skilled at marching or warfare at all; their wars are just like village brawls between two villages."

Lei Wu's eyes were filled with disdain.

The Light Holy War Army is different.

The legion Lei Wu belongs to is equipped with over twenty priests.

Some provide buffs, others heal wounds.

Combined with military formations, they unleash power where one plus one is greater than two.

The reason the Bauhinia Empire is strong is not because it has many powerful individuals.

For example, the number of powerful individuals in the Bauhinia Empire is no less than in the Arcane Empire.

But if the two were to go to war, Lei Wu knows that the one to lose would certainly be the Bauhinia Empire, and it would be a crushing defeat.

This is the gap!

In his eyes, barbarian tribes are all petty thieves and uncultivated people.

"That's good then." Seeing this, Viscount Luofei breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought of something and hurriedly asked, "What about Viscount Fengming and the others?"

Lei Wu looked over and saw that Viscount Fengming had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave and return to the caravan.

That caravan was also retreating, a few hundred meters away from them.

A look of confidence flashed in Lei Wu's eyes: "Wait until I tear this barbarian tribe to pieces, then I will go find Viscount Fengming.

Rest assured, he won't get far!"

That barbarian tribe had launched a sudden sneak attack and killed over a dozen members of the legion, which made Lei Wu very furious.

Now, he just wants to wipe out that barbarian tribe and then extort the Nine Prince.

In his eyes, the Nine Prince is much fatter than Viscount Fengming.

"Priests, cast buffs!" Knight Commander Lei Wu ordered.

Immediately, several priests began to chant incantations and cast spells to enhance the strength of the Light Holy War Army.

A series of buffs—increasing morale, adding protection, increasing poison resistance, and so on—were stacked onto the Light Holy War Army.

Knight Commander Lei Wu was in control of the situation, full of confidence.

But the next second, his expression shifted slightly.

He saw several flashes of light in the distance; it was mages casting spells.

"They have mages too!"

Knight Commander Lei Wu gritted his teeth, his expression becoming grave for the first time.

"This is no ordinary barbarian tribe."

Where would an ordinary barbarian tribe have such means?

Knight Commander Lei Wu realized the gravity of the situation.

However, as a Knight Commander of the Light Holy War Army, Lei Wu possessed his own arrogance and confidence; years of victories had caused his self-confidence to swell even further.

"Form up, charge!"

With the Light Holy War Army in hand, there is no military formation in the world he cannot tear apart.

Of course, excluding those of the Arcane Empire and the Mother Earth Temple.

"Kill!"

Eight hundred members of the Light Holy War Army, acting as one, rushed toward the players like a torrent of steel.

And at this moment, among the players, the archers also began to shoot arrows.

Ye Di wore a smile on his face: "Brothers, let them see the power of us players, give them a big one!"

"Musketeers, prepare!" Ye Di commanded.

Now that the number of players has exceeded ten thousand, there are all kinds of talents.

They even brought weapons from reality into the game.

Moreover, with the help of magic, the gap in industry doesn't count for much.

If you can't play with guns in reality, then have a blast in the game.

Of course, the current muskets have limited power and can only threaten low-level and mid-level professionals.

But in this kind of war, that is enough!

Of course, the muskets produced have not yet been popularized.

Suddenly, over a hundred players holding muskets lined up in formation, and under Ye Di's command, the muskets erupted instantly, crackling and popping.

Bang!

The sound of muskets rang out, incessant and deafening.

Suddenly, dozens of the charging Light Holy War Army soldiers were struck by bullets and fell to the ground.

Lei Wu's expression changed slightly: "What kind of weapon is that?"

"Is it an Arcane weapon?" Luofei asked with some fear.

"Impossible. Arcane weapons are very expensive; how could everyone have one?"

The power of these Arcane weapons is immense; unless a great nation with formidable strength and deep foundations equips them, how could an Ordinary barbarian tribe be equipped with them?

However, Lei Wu could only admit that the opponent was wielding Arcane weapons, otherwise, it could not be explained.

"Arcane weapons are expensive; using them once costs countless Gold coins. Hold on, they won't have the power to use them again." The gunfire stopped, and Lei Wu understood instantly, shouting loudly.

However, the bang-bang sound of gunfire rang out again, dealing a fierce slap to Lei Wu's face.

In an instant, another dozen corpses fell to the ground.

Lei Wu's face was gloomy, and he could only spit out one word: "Slay!"

The charge of a mere thousand meters was, in Lei Wu's eyes, only a matter of a few breaths; what he used to love most was watching the trembling figures of his enemies during a charge.

Now, he only wanted to rush into the enemy camp quickly and Slay every one of those detestable enemies!

The Light Holy War Army continued to charge, and with every passing breath, many corpses fell to the ground.

Yet, the Light Holy War Army was worthy of being a strong army; even so, no one retreated, and all the soldiers charged forward.

Lei Wu's eyes were filled with killing intent: "Charge!"

He felt very aggrieved, with endless fury in his heart.

However, this thousand-meter distance was finally about to be crossed!

Next would be their moment of slaughter.

On the other side, Viscount Fengming's eyes revealed a look of relief: "Prince Lin is as wise as a god; he had people waiting to receive us long ago, otherwise..."

Viscount Fengming patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

He also did not know how Prince Lin had arranged the manpower and known about these things in advance.

The worry on Yibei's face had not dissipated: "Can Prince Lin's men defeat the Light Holy War Army?

That is the Light Holy War Army!"

Yibei was somewhat worried.

For the past few months, he had been busy with matters concerning Star Sand and had almost no contact with Iron Stone City, so he was not clear about Prince Lin's strength.

The Light Holy War Army was very powerful; even if the armies of the Arcane Empire encountered them, it would be very troublesome to deal with them.

"Rest assured, here, Prince Lin is the undisputed king!" Viscount Fengming was very confident.

He did know a little about the situation in Iron Stone City.

He knew of the strength of His Highness Prince Lin.

Otherwise, he would not have given up on leaving Koya City to move to Iron Stone City.

"Slay!"

At this moment, the Light Holy War Army finally clashed with the players.

Lei Wu's face was full of excitement.

In field battles, their Light Holy War Army had never feared anyone.

As long as they engaged, the ones to be defeated would definitely be the opponents.

"Slay!"

However, after a dozen breaths passed, Lei Wu's expression changed slightly; the one-sided situation he had anticipated did not happen.

When the Light Holy War Army collided with that group of barbarians, in the first round, it was actually the Light Holy War Army that occupied the disadvantage!

In an instant, seven or eight members of the Light Holy War Army were cut down from their horses!

"Knight Commander, these barbarians have great strength; they are not the uncivilized sort. Their overall professional level... is very high." The deputy was covered in blood, and he had also discovered this problem.

Lei Wu's expression remained unchanged: "I do not believe there is a military formation in this world that our Light Holy War Army cannot break!"

Long-term victory and the power of the Light Temple had given Lei Wu inflated confidence.

He issued orders to continue head-on collisions.

"Slay!"

Hearing this, the deputy could only bite the bullet.

The Light Holy War Army finally collided head-on with the players.

The two sides began an intense slaughter.

Ye Di was covered in blood, his eyes revealing a look of admiration: "Worthy of being the Light Holy War Army; they are much stronger than the Kunan tribe. The will of their soldiers is very strong.

If this weren't a game, I definitely couldn't do this."

"Haha, Ye Di, if you were brainwashed like this from childhood and subjected to PPT every day, you would definitely be as heroic as them." Shouhou also laughed loudly. At this moment, he saw something and said loudly, "Ye Di, don't let that big fish go."

Ye Di also looked at Lei Wu, a strong fighting spirit flashing in his eyes!
