Chapter 366: Shouting Until Your Throat Breaks Is Useless!

~7 min read 1,374 words

Amidst the creaking, Batu froze!

For the wooden gate in the middle of the wall was actually opening slowly.

Were these humans looking for death?

"Gervas... Gervas, what are you doing!!!"

In fact, someone was more shocked than Batu: the nobles like Mil and the others.

They dared to stay and deal with the orcs because building a sturdy wooden wall was their greatest confidence.

But now Gervas had opened the wooden gate; wouldn't the advantage of the wall be completely gone?

"Everyone, guard your sections of the wall well; leave this place safely to me!" Gervas quickly spoke to soothe them.

Mil and the others, though worried, ultimately did not question anything further.

After all, as long as Gervas was not mad and seeking his own death, he must have a way to deal with it.

Of course, the two-legged sheep noble opposite, Batu, did not know what abilities these two-legged sheep possessed.

He only knew that these two-legged sheep were simply seeking their own death.

If there were a wall, he and his men would have to suffer huge losses to charge in.

But without the obstacle of the wall, these two-legged sheep would surely be lambs waiting to be slaughtered beneath their blades and clubs.

"You few, continue climbing the wall! All other orc warriors, follow me!"

Leaving more than ten clansmen to continue climbing the wooden wall was to tie down the other two-legged sheep.

Then Batu quickly led more than forty subordinates toward the wooden gate, fearing the humans might close the gate again.

What reassured him was that the humans did not close the gate again; instead, they gathered a force of more than fifty two-legged sheep soldiers to block the inside of the gate!

"Two-legged sheep noble, I thank you for opening the gate yourself. I can assure you that when I kill you in a moment, I can make it quick for you!"

"Green-skin orc, do you think you can charge in? You can come and try!" Gervas smiled and issued a provocation in return.

Batu delayed no longer, roaring: "Charge in and tear these two-legged sheep apart!"

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Amidst the cries of battle, forty orcs launched a charge.

And the momentum of these orcs' flat-ground charge was no less than that of forty cavalry charges.

"Spearmen, raise your spears!"

"Kill!"

Gervas's side of fifty spearmen reacted immediately.

"Spearmen, thrust!"

"Kill!"

Roar!

Seeing the spears thrusting toward them, the charging orcs felt no fear; in their minds, they only needed to swing their weapons to block them directly.

And that was exactly what they did.

Only, when they swung their iron blades, stone axes, and spiked maces to block the front row of spears, the spears from the rear row thrust forward again.

Thus, the orcs, who had never witnessed such a well-coordinated human spear formation, could only watch helplessly as spearheads pierced their bodies.

Puff, puff, puff!

With the sound of metal entering flesh, brilliant blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of seven or eight orcs in the front row.

"Roar! You damned two-legged sheep!!"

Seeing this, Batu roared in fury, charging out of the ranks, with red light flashing over his body.

"Spearmen, retreat ten paces!"

Gervas had prepared for this long ago; the spearmen quickly withdrew backward.

And the frenzied Batu, still wanting to pursue, was suddenly blocked in his path by a figure darting in from the side.

"Green-skin orc, your opponent is here!"

The one who came was naturally Lei Meng.

"Two-legged sheep, die!"

Seeing himself blocked, Batu grew even more furious, venting all his rage on Lei Meng.

The long blade, glowing with dense crimson light, slashed toward Lei Meng.

Lei Meng felt no fear, raising the long sword in his hand to block.

With a clang, Batu's heavy, powerful strike was steadily blocked by Lei Meng, without any sign of strain.

Batu's expression changed.

"Are you a human Silver Knight?"

"That's right, green-skin orc; come on, let's see whose head gets chopped off in the end!"

"Die! Human!" Batu, successfully provoked, swung his blade again to clash head-on with Lei Meng.

Lei Meng used the opportunity to lure him aside.

"Spearmen, advance!"

Taking advantage of Batu being lured away, the spearmen moved forward again.

Roar, roar!

The orcs, unwilling to show weakness, charged once more.

Only, the outcome was predictable.

Puff, puff, puff!

Amidst the sounds of metal entering flesh, several more orcs were pierced into a sieve.

"Roar! Retreat! Get out of the camp quickly!"

At this moment, Batu also realized he had fallen into a trap.

Moreover, he recognized that these humans were not the same as those he had encountered in the past.

"Want to run? It's too late! Lower the gate!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Mi Gen, Knight Mi Gen, who was atop the main gate, immediately responded and slashed fiercely at the hemp rope.

With a boom, a simple gate dropped from above.

This was also a setup prepared in advance.

The gate was very crude; even to reduce weight, there were gaps in the middle, through which ordinary people could easily crawl.

But it was sufficient to block the massive size of the orcs.

Instantly, all the orcs who had intended to retreat were blocked.

Seeing this, a few desperate orcs immediately began waving the stone axes and spiked clubs in their hands, crazily chopping at the fence.

Crack crack crack!

In an instant, the insecure wooden stakes were all chopped into two pieces.

But this was not enough, as it was insufficient to destroy the entire gate structure.

And taking advantage of this moment, the spearmen had already advanced.

"Spearmen, thrust!"

"Kill!"

Puff puff puff!

"Thrust!"

"Kill!"

Puff puff puff!

Roar roar roar!

Batch after batch of orcs fell.

The remaining orcs seemed to know they could not survive, yet they did not beg for mercy.

Instead, they became even more ferocious, like mad dogs baring their teeth when driven to the brink.

It was just a pity that the moment they arrogantly entered the camp gate, their death was destined.

Even if the spearmen could not kill them all, Gervas still had swordsmen, knights, and other martial means.

Now, it was merely a matter of resolving them with the smallest loss!

"Damn humans!"

At this moment, Batu, who was fighting Lei Meng, had his eyes bulging with rage.

He finally felt a trace of regret, regretting not listening to the chief's words.

Of course, what he could understand even less was why these two-legged sheep were different from those he had encountered before?

The two-legged sheep encountered before, although numerous, would collapse directly as long as he and his men charged and ferociously pounced to kill a few of them.

But this time was different.

The two-legged sheep not only did not collapse but dared to launch a counterattack actively.

Puff!

Just then, Lei Meng also seized the opportunity and thrust his sword into Batu's thigh.

Roar!

In pain, the enraged Batu instantly knelt halfway on the ground.

"Stop screaming! Even if you scream your throat hoarse, it's useless!" Lei Meng sneered, and his long sword slashed at Batu again.

Having lost mobility, Batu could not stop Lei Meng's attack at all; within a short while, his shoulder was stabbed again.

"Hmm? Lei Meng, you are truly too cunning; can this phrase be used like this?!"

Gervas, standing aside, found his expression hard to hold back.

Speaking of which, Lei Meng, is this phrase really appropriate here?

Lei Meng naturally thought it was appropriate!

Because as Batu sustained more and more injuries, before long, he thrust his sword into the opponent's chest, completely knocking him down.

After falling unwillingly to the ground and looking at the flickering bonfire, Batu danced the last breakdance of his life!

"Uh..."

Finally, the breakdance finished, Batu's head tilted to the side, and he fell silent.

Orc Batu, deceased!

"Ba... Lord Batu is dead, run!"

And with Batu's death, the remaining dozen orcs outside the wooden wall finally knew the taste of fear and began to flee!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Of course, waiting for them naturally were also ballistae.

Five ballistae were loaded, five arrows were shot, and instantly, five more fleeing orcs were gone.
