This much was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, reinforcements had to be sent to the underground fissure quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything happened to Lorelia or Rockwell, it would be a significant loss for the horde—and a personal failure for Delilah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah's judgment was correct. At that moment, Rockwell was being overwhelmed by the two millipede centipedes, and the battle was not going well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male millipede centipede ignored the small spiders clinging to its body, curling itself into a fiery wheel and slamming into Rockwell with devastating force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rockwell was sent flying, coughing up blood. Strange runes flickered across his body—these were the symbols of a petrification spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spider Queen continued commanding her small spiders to attack the two millipede centipedes, but their efforts were largely ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rockwell felt frustrated and helpless. Lorelia always had four hero-level cave spiders guarding her at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lorelia had sent even one of those spiders to help hold off one of the millipede centipedes, the battle wouldn't have reached this dire state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Spider Queen Lorelia followed Orion's orders to the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion had once instructed Lorelia that, aside from herself, she didn't need to concern herself with the survival of anyone else in the horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a harsh and somewhat absurd directive, but Lorelia, who valued her own life above all else, had no hesitation in carrying it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rockwell was struck again, this time by the female millipede centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact was so powerful that Rockwell's bone armor shattered into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorelia wasn't entirely without offensive capabilities. She fired a bolt from her crossbow, which was enveloped in green flames, striking the female millipede centipede in the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poisoned bolt hit its mark, and the sound of corrosive sizzling filled the air, alerting the female millipede centipede to the danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature ignored Rockwell and turned its furious gaze toward Spider Queen Lorelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorelia, ever cunning, immediately commanded her small spiders to block the area in front of her, creating a dense barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then raised her crossbow and fired another bolt as a show of defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a fellow broodmother, the female millipede centipede was enraged by this provocation. It lashed out with its many legs, charging forward like a speeding train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whirlwind Strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, reinforcements arrived. Onyx, seeing Rockwell injured and Lorelia under attack, immediately unleashed his only charging skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onyx spun like a tornado, his stone axe tearing through the air with sparks, colliding head-on with the female millipede centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Find your next adventure on empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Onyx and the female millipede centipede were knocked back. One of the centipede's front claws, which had been reaching for Lorelia, was severed cleanly at the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rockwell, are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onyx steadied himself and, instead of checking his own condition, immediately turned his attention to Rockwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prophet, I'm fine. Just a minor injury!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Rockwell could finish speaking, he coughed up a mouthful of black blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lorelia, use your spiders to cover Rockwell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onyx raised his stone axe, his aura surging as he prepared to face the female millipede centipede again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a unique song accompanied by a beautiful melody echoed through the underground fissure—Lilith had arrived just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle's outcome was still undecided, and the fight raged on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Blackstone City, the sky was filled with the cries of eagles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion looked down at the seemingly endless beast tide, his expression slightly grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the auras of Onyx and Lilith moving toward the underground fissure only deepened his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the beast tide surging toward the city, for Prophet and Lilith to leave the frontlines, there must be a serious problem at the underground fissure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fissure was already guarded by Lorelia and Rockwell. If they still needed reinforcements, the enemy must be both powerful and numerous—at least two strong opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rayden, fly toward the underground fissure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you command!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no flying beasts threatening them, Thunderhawk Rayden exuded an air of invincibility, as if declaring itself the undisputed king of the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you sense the enemies' presence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I can sense them, but the underground fissure is blocked. I can't see them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many enemies are there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two distinct auras!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Orion let out a quiet sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four against two—Onyx and the others were sure to prevail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change direction. Fly toward the densest part of the beast tide!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And keep an eye on the fiend serpent swarm. Look for anything unusual among them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's orders were precise. His primary focus was the fiend serpents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the beast tide was massive, Orion's side had plenty of strong fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Abyssal Dragon, Thundar, Rendall, and Delilah holding the line, as long as no Alpha-level beasts appeared, the city walls would remain secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stoneheart Horde was indeed at its peak strength. They had cannon fodder, elite warriors, and even cave spiders assisting in the defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion was confident in their chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding the thunderhawk high above the battlefield, Orion served as both a symbol of reassurance for the bloodline warriors and a deterrent to potential threats like Ridi—or even Lord Gareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of the fiend serpent swarm had put Orion on high alert. He couldn't quite decipher Gareth's intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rayden, any discoveries?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, nothing yet. The ground is just full of those 'chips' you mentioned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn't respond immediately. After a moment of silence, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lower our altitude and keep searching. Include the weaker 'chips' as potential targets for surveillance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion felt increasingly uneasy. The longer he and the thunderhawk failed to locate the mastermind behind the fiend serpent swarm, the more his anxiety grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could mean that Lord Gareth herself was coming to Blackstone City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Gareth was arriving in person to eliminate Orion, whom she saw as a significant threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps it was just a will projection, sent to test the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, it wasn't good news. Orion wasn't yet at the legendary level, and he wasn't ready to face Lord Gareth directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caw! Caw! Caw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the beast tide crashed against Blackstone City, Orion never expected the broadskull ravens to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the western horizon, a dense swarm of broadskull ravens flew back, their ominous cries echoing like funeral dirges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rayden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion called out to his thunderhawk, urging it to climb higher and fly toward the incoming ravens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tridents and lightning flashed in succession, and broadskull ravens fell one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rayden, can you locate the leader of the broadskull ravens?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I can't!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion hurled another trident, killing a reckless broadskull raven that had flown directly toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something's not right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was strange. As the two sides closed the distance, the broadskull ravens showed no intention of surrounding or attacking the thunderhawk and Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, whenever the ravens encountered the thunderhawk, they either veered away or changed direction entirely, continuing their flight toward Blackstone City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rayden, return to Blackstone City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unusual behavior of the broadskull ravens left Orion puzzled. He decided to head back to Blackstone City to see what the ravens were up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, amidst the fiend serpent horde, Ridi had transformed into an ordinary fiend serpent, hiding among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the thunderhawk chase after the broadskull ravens, Ridi couldn't help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha… Those ravens came back! Great, the heavens are helping me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now's the time—launch the assault!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ridi drove the beast tide forward, intensifying the attack on Blackstone City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Blackstone City, Orion was stunned by the scene before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The broadskull ravens weren't attacking the warriors on the walls or the people inside the city. They weren't even lowering their altitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they were defecating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless streams of green bird droppings rained down from the sky, splattering all over Blackstone City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The absurdity of the scene was beyond belief. If Orion hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… this is the broadskull ravens' attack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion muttered to himself, finding the attack symbolic at best and largely ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the broadskull ravens were vengeful creatures, but he never imagined that their method of revenge would involve… bird droppings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing their \"attack,\" the broadskull ravens didn't linger. They turned and flew back west without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, these ravens are disgusting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderhawk Rayden was furious. Even its favorite perch on a nearby hill had been defiled by the ravens' droppings—a humiliation it couldn't tolerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ignore them for now. As long as they're not attacking, focus your attention below!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep searching for any suspicious beasts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderhawk Rayden let out an eagle cry and stopped paying attention to the broadskull ravens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, there were simply too many ravens for Orion and the thunderhawk to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the underground fissure, the battle raged on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Onyx and Lilith joining the fight, the situation had improved significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of Lilith's [Illusions: Mind Confusion], the female millipede centipede suffered repeated heavy blows, and much of the armor on its segmented body had been shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the millipede centipedes were incredibly resilient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite its injuries, the female millipede centipede continued to roar, its aura still strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, with countless small spiders distracting the male millipede centipede, Warden Rockwell was gaining the upper hand and finally venting his frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male millipede centipede had also lost much of its armor under Rockwell's relentless attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Spider Queen Lorelia frequently fired poisoned bolts from the sidelines, corroding much of the male centipede's armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chitter! Chitter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female millipede centipede let out a series of sharp cries, summoning the male centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the call, the male millipede centipede went berserk, thrashing its body as it charged toward the female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, Rockwell raised his stone axe and severed an entire row of the centipede's legs, significantly slowing its movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prophet, watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith cried out in alarm, warning Onyx as the male millipede centipede barreled toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onyx swung his stone axe in a wide arc, knocking the female millipede centipede aside before retreating a short distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By sheer coincidence, the male and female millipede centipedes ended up side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To everyone's astonishment, the two centipedes intertwined, head to tail, forming a circular ring once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ring began to roll, crushing the small spiders beneath it like a massive tank tread, as it attempted to escape back toward the Bottomless Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't good—they're trying to escape!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onyx was the first to react, charging forward with his stone axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spider Queen Lorelia was quick to respond as well, commanding countless small spiders to swarm and block the centipedes' path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first wave of spiders was completely crushed, their bodies reduced to pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as more and more spiders piled up like a living barricade, they finally managed to halt the centipedes' advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rockwell, attack with me! Focus on killing one of them first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onyx's ability to assess the situation was impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his command, Rockwell hefted his stone axe and joined the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Onyx and Rockwell spun their stone axes like whirlwinds, launching a coordinated assault on the two millipede centipedes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in Blackstone City, the broadskull ravens had left as quickly as they had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After defecating all over the city, they flew back west without lowering their altitude or launching any real attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the ravens posed no immediate threat, Orion chose to ignore them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he focused on finding the hidden enemy, instructing Thunderhawk Rayden to lower its altitude and conduct a thorough search of the surrounding areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take long for Thunderhawk Rayden to make a discovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, something's off about the area we just flew over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Orion's nerves were on edge.
