Chapter 2721: Frontline

Seeing this Great Lord ability, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed. The situation was better than imagined. Although he hadn't reached Chimney Mountain yet, things were already very promising.

Being able to summon Gray Orcs, Snake-men, Ancient Treants, and Demons/Ghosts within 5 kilometers meant that Su Xiao's plan could be implemented.

In the Chaos Legion, Gray Orcs were the absolute backbone. They were the most numerous, could fight and withstand, could charge, could attack, and could also serve as cannon fodder. They would risk their lives once full. Aside from being ugly and not paying attention to personal hygiene, they didn't have any major shortcomings.

Snake-men were also equally important. They rarely went to the battlefield. Their image was not that the upper body was human and the lower body was a snake, but that their heads were similar to snake-like creatures, their mouths could split to the roots of their ears, and their long, forked tongues were extremely similar to snakes.

Snake-men had no scales all over their bodies and were the ones who took the brunt of the anger in the Chaos Legion. They did the hard labor, forged weapons and armor, got the least benefits, and were beaten the hardest when being beaten. They were often bullied, but they had their own territory, and their personal property was protected by the Chaos Legion.

The Snake-man race didn't rise up in rebellion because, before the establishment of the Chaos Legion, they were slaves. No matter what talent they had, they were born slaves and were sold to various regions of the continent.

Aside from Gray Orcs and Snake-men, the remaining Ancient Treants and Demons/Ghosts were elite combat forces. The problem was that these two races often didn't like each other, both feeling that the other was an idiot. Mutual brawling and even killing were things that happened occasionally.

Once there was a conflict between Ancient Treants and Demons/Ghosts, the Gray Orcs would happily watch, forming a circle and shouting for them to cheer, while the Snake-men would tremble nearby to avoid being blamed again.

Usually, after Ancient Treants and Demons/Ghosts fought, both sides would be grounded, and then the watching Gray Orcs would be hung up and whipped—whipped with whips wrapped in metal wire. They would scream miserably. Without them following along to stir up trouble, in most cases, they actually wouldn't be able to fight.

As for the Snake-men who watched the fun, they would occasionally join the ranks of being hung up and whipped. These guys were actually very bad, belonging to the "insidiously bad" type. The weapons used by Ancient Treants and Demons/Ghosts when they fought were sometimes secretly thrown over by Snake-men.

These guys, who were identified by the Six-Race Alliance as the evil faction and accused of doing all kinds of evil, also had their unique local customs or interesting sides.

Su Xiao had already reached the edge of the war zone. Immediately crossing the war zone and returning to Chimney Mountain seemed to be the best choice, but in reality, it was not.

Su Xiao's identity as a War Demon had been imprisoned by the Duoyin Kingdom for more than a decade. Human hearts were fickle, and the high-level officials of the Chaos Legion were the same.

Dark Monarch Agamemnon was the absolute leader, that was true, but beneath him, there were four Great Lords. In other words, aside from Su Xiao, there were three other Great Lords in the Black Ring Fortress of Chimney Mountain who were equal in status to him.

Ten years had passed. Among these three Great Lords, only one had not been replaced, and the other two were newly promoted Great Lords. The current Chaos Legion was under the control of these three Great Lords.

The two newly promoted Great Lords were both ambitious. It wasn't that they had great desires for power, but that they both wanted Dark Monarch Agamemnon to lead the Chaos Legion again and restore the glory of the past.

If Su Xiao returned directly to Chimney Mountain, he would definitely be respected, but if he wanted to mobilize a large number of Gray Orcs, Ancient Treants, and Demons/Ghosts to launch a war, those two Great Lords would likely oppose it.

The reason was that the current Chaos Legion could no longer afford to gamble. As long as they lost once, it would mean the destruction of the race.

Or rather, it wasn't that these two newly promoted Great Lords didn't want to gamble, but that they wouldn't gamble blindly. But as long as they saw a glimmer of hope, they wouldn't hesitate. If the interior of the Chaos Legion was calculating against each other, they would have been destroyed long ago. All Great Lords knew this point.

Su Xiao traveled quickly with Bubu Wang and Baja. Before long, he arrived near a battlefield. The fire here had not yet gone out, and several piles of Gray Orc corpses were burning.

Su Xiao activated the Great Lord ability. The ground under his feet began to vibrate. With a boom, a dark red giant hand reached out from the mud. Inside this giant hand, it was as if dark red magma was flowing.

A humanoid creature over ten meters tall climbed out from underground. This was the Ancient War Soul. It had sheep horns on its head and held a huge horn in its hand.

Hum—

A long and heavy horn sound was blown. A 5-kilometer radius was not small, and a small-scale war had just ended nearby. The Chaos Legion troops that had been scattered should be scattered around.

The horn sound lasted for more than ten seconds before stopping, and the Ancient War Soul gradually disappeared into the air.

After waiting for a few minutes, messy footsteps came from the distance. They were a few Gray Orcs wearing tight-fitting armor with gray skin. These Gray Orcs had flat ears and were bald, looking quite fierce. The muscles on their bodies were not exaggerated, but they were very explosive and tough.

A few Gray Orcs stopped ten meters away. Most of them were injured, and the weapons in their hands were covered with blood and minced meat.

A few Gray Orcs looked at Su Xiao, their eyes very confused. They didn't understand why a Duoyin person could summon them.

"Roar!"

After a symbolic roar, a few Gray Orcs rushed over. It wasn't that they didn't have their own language, but that Duoyin people couldn't understand it at all. Roaring was the best deterrent method.

With a boom, blood energy erupted. The few Gray Orcs who rushed over almost fell to the ground. At this moment, the thoughts in their hearts were consistent: this was definitely not a Duoyin person.

Su Xiao pulled up the sleeve of his left arm. In this world, the Black King Armguard was quite special. When the Samsara Paradise performed identity disguise, the Black King Armguard became a representative item, representing the War Demon.

Seeing the Black King Armguard worn by Su Xiao, the few Gray Orcs were like seeing a ghost. They were stunned for at least a few seconds before kneeling on the ground with a plop, putting their hands behind their backs, and pressing their foreheads directly against the ground.

"Dade, Ulisa (Gray Orc language, Respect and Great Lord)."

Just as the few Gray Orcs knelt on the ground, Su Xiao received a prompt from the Samsara Paradise.

【Prompt: Hunter has a temporary army.】

【Affiliation: Chaos Legion.】

【Great Lord Skill: Ancient War Soul.】

【Number of soldier-type units: 6 (May flee from battle at any time).】

【Supplies: None.】

【Battle Record: None.】

【War Merit Obtained: 0 points.】

Right now, it was still in the enlightenment stage. With the identity of Chaos Legion Great Lord, Su Xiao would of course make the most of it.

In about half an hour, the number of Gray Orcs gathered around reached 625. These were all defeated Gray Orcs, and their morale could be imagined.

Although these Gray Orcs were all very respectful to Su Xiao, almost to the point of reverence, Su Xiao knew that if he let these Gray Orcs go to intercept the enemy army now, they would collapse in minutes.

Aside from these 625 Gray Orcs, there was also an Ancient Treant. This was the first time Su Xiao had seen an Ancient Treant. These big guys were quite clumsy, over eight meters tall, and overall looked like a big tree that had come alive.

Ancient Treants had a characteristic: their combat power was impeccable, at the level of war beasts, but their eyesight was a hard injury. Their vision was blurry within 10 meters, they couldn't distinguish humans from animals beyond 20 meters, they couldn't distinguish friend from foe beyond 30 meters, and beyond 50 meters, everything looked like lumps.

At this moment, this heavily injured Ancient Treant was located three meters in front of Su Xiao, its single eye under the canopy staring at Su Xiao, trying its best to remember Su Xiao's aura. ===== CHAPTER 2722 =====
