Chapter 2722: Chance Encounter

Su Xiao looked around. He now needed to find a Gray Orc who was strong and looked pleasing to the eye.

"You."

Su Xiao pointed to a Gray Orc. The Gray Orc pointed at by him was a bit panicked, but he also stepped forward with big strides.

"Lord, I, I, I..."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't expect that there would be a stutterer among the Gray Orcs. Although stuttering wasn't a shortcoming, it was obviously not good for commanding a battle.

"Go back."

"Hmm? I, I, I..."

"Shut up, retreat."

Baja's eyes widened. The Gray Orc also widened his eyes, looking ready to have a fight with Baja. Because of Su Xiao's terrifying aura, the Gray Orc retreated resentfully. Gray Orcs were like this—although brutal, they had no schemes and were relatively straightforward.

"Is that so? You should choose me, I am the strongest."

A Gray Orc with a face full of scars muttered in a low voice. This Gray Orc was very smart, knowing that Su Xiao wanted to choose a leader, and he wasn't a stutterer, just a bit nervous just now.

"Really? In that case, you are appointed as the Lord of the Chaos Legion's Third Legion."

Beneath the Great Lord were three Lords, each of whom could command 150,000 to 300,000 Gray Orcs. Beneath them were fifteen Raiders, each commanding 10,000 to 20,000 Gray Orcs. Beneath the Raiders, there was nothing else.

In the peak period of the Chaos Legion, there were five Lords under each Great Lord.

That's right, the officer system of the Chaos Legion was just this simple. After the war started, it was basically a swarm charging up, either being defeated or winning.

With the environment of Chimney Mountain, it was very difficult to train these Gray Orcs. They couldn't even get enough to eat, and letting them train was undoubtedly adding frost to the snow.

There had been Great Lords with dreams who tried to train the Gray Orcs, letting them form battle formations. As a result, the Gray Orcs mutinied. Daily training would consume their already limited physical strength, making them even hungrier. Going to the battlefield in this state was equivalent to sending them to their deaths.

Hearing that he was appointed as a Lord, the Gray Orc with a face full of scars straightened his body. From that ugly face, one could see that he was very happy.

"I am Wugu, the strong Wugu."

Gray Orc Wugu swung his fist. In just a few seconds, the few Gray Orcs around him were all beaten to the ground, lying on the ground and groaning.

Bubu Wang looked at Gray Orc Wugu somewhat sluggishly. Obviously, it hadn't quite adapted to the Gray Orcs' way of expressing their own strength.

Gray Orc Wugu didn't know yet how high the mortality rate was for Su Xiao's adjutants.

"Wugu, do you understand the terrain of the battlefield?"

"I understand."

Wugu's hand buckled onto the armor plate on his chest. This armor was almost integrated with his body.

Soon, Wugu took out a piece of rag, knelt on one knee in front of Su Xiao, and offered the rag in his hand.

After Su Xiao picked up the rag, he discovered that this was actually a map, a very precise map. Seeing the seal of the Duoyin Empire in the lower left corner, he understood. In his impression, the Chaos Legion couldn't produce such a precise map.

This map had a missing piece, but two-thirds of the battlefield were drawn on it.

The entire battle line was C-shaped, half-enveloping the area where Chimney Mountain was located. In other words, the Six-Race Alliance had already pushed the battle line to the face of the Chaos Legion, blocking the Chaos Legion in the west.

If the Chaos Legion retreated further, it would be the Land of Magma, which was an ocean formed by magma and a forbidden zone for living beings.

Seeing this map, Su Xiao felt that the Chaos Legion was hopeless. The total strength of the Six-Race Alliance added up to over 6.5 million. The adult males of the Ice-born and Elf races were innate warriors, and the Duoyin people mastered Techniques, so the combat power of their soldiers could be imagined.

Moreover, these 6.5 million soldiers were just the number on the front-line battlefield. No one knew how many soldiers the Six-Race Alliance had in their respective territories.

Dwarves often just went through the motions, but they were good at mining mineral veins. Barbarians went without saying—the race was small, and everyone was a soldier.

The Dragon-man race, also known as the Lizard race, was born with the power of crystals. That was the oldest and most mysterious race. When fighting Dark Monarch Agamemnon, the Lizard race was the main force.

Conversely, the Chaos Legion—the total number of Gray Orcs, Ancient Treants, Snake-men, and Demons/Ghosts added up to about 7.6 million, among which many couldn't fight. Only less than 2 million actually went to the battlefield.

A gap of more than three times—continuing to fight, let alone turning defeat into victory, it was very difficult to solve the current predicament. Moreover, the Six-Race Alliance had long accumulated many soldiers in their respective territories, but they hadn't sent them to the front line yet.

"The warriors we can fight with are not many left."

Gray Orc Wugu was somewhat sentimental. He looked at the Gray Orcs gathered ten meters away. He had known long ago that his race would face extinction.

Su Xiao had a basic understanding of the battlefield situation. The situation was worse than he imagined, but it hadn't reached the point of being completely unable to turn the tables. For him, this was a very good situation.

The previous inference was wrong. Those three Great Lords of Chimney Mountain would likely be willing to transfer 200,000 to 300,000 troops as a probe before the big gamble.

The current Chaos Legion couldn't afford a full-scale war, but they wouldn't have any objections to a small gamble. The worst case was being exterminated, which was already a matter of time.

Su Xiao took the 625 newly summoned Gray Orcs and 1 Ancient Treant and began to march toward the rear of the battlefield.

After marching for about five kilometers, the setting sun cast its light, and the ground began to vibrate slightly.

Bang!

A fire-red signal flare rose into the sky. The Gray Orcs around immediately became chaotic. Although they were panicked, they also knew that scattering and fleeing now would only lead to death faster. At least they had to determine the enemy's position, cover their Great Lord, and then flee in a swarm.

Other things aside, these Gray Orcs were still relatively loyal. After all, the glory of the Chaos Legion had also bathed them.

Armor clashing, the sound of neat running came from behind. It was a heavy infantry unit of over 10,000 from the Duoyin Empire.

Surrounded by these heavy infantry, a man riding a giant beast and wearing brand-new armor raised his hand. At his signal, this heavy infantry unit stopped marching.

"Friend, you don't seem to be lucky, actually joining that side."

The man on the back of the war beast spoke. Undoubtedly, this was a contractor. Just after entering this world, he obtained an initial identity and could command 10,000 heavy infantry. His name was Hippocrates, a contractor of the Apocalypse Paradise.

"A few hundred Gray Orcs, too few. But no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Don't blame me, the factions are hostile, there's no other way, 'friend' from the Samsara Paradise."

Hippocrates looked into the distance. The reason he came to this desolate war zone was actually to move toward the north side of the war zone. After controlling 10,000 soldiers, his first thought wasn't to earn war merit, but to take these soldiers to mine. Over 10,000 people—each one was strong and sturdy. With a little training, they could set up a mine.

Thinking of this, Hippocrates' heart began to burn, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud. As for the Duoyin Empire side, as long as he gave enough, he felt there wouldn't be a problem. It was just 10,000 soldiers. After years of war, he didn't believe the Duoyin Empire wasn't short of resources.

Encountering Su Xiao by chance, Hippocrates' idea was very simple: kill Su Xiao on the way. Five world progresses ago, when he was fighting in the world contention, he had been dominated by the lunatics of the Samsara Paradise.

Now Hippocrates finally caught a lone one and found an opportunity to vent. If he didn't vent, he felt he was almost suffering from Samsara Paradise phobia. As long as he closed his eyes, it seemed he could see those dozen or so lunatics standing on a huge pile of corpses, with different expressions but all with red eyes.

About to take revenge, plus going to mine in a while, made Hippocrates' mood even better.

A breeze with a slight bloody smell blew past, and the setting sun in the sky was like blood. Su Xiao looked at the more than 10,000 heavy infantry in front, didn't say anything, just pulled out the long knife at his waist. More than 10,000 soldiers, he could handle them.

Clang.

Su Xiao pulled out the long knife at his waist, and opposite him, Hippocrates had obvious surprise in his eyes. A trace of a bad feeling suddenly emerged in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 2723 =====
