Chapter 446: Molar's Furious Outburst!

Time passed, and more than half a day went by.

"Chieftain Molar, look, is that the fortress we are about to reach?"

At this moment, a subordinate ahead suddenly pointed to a stone structure at the end of the horizon.

Moreover, at this very moment, a wisp of faint black smoke was rising above that stone structure.

No need to say more; that was absolutely their destination this time.

"That's right, that is our destination this time; we have finally arrived!" Molar's face immediately showed excitement.

Gazing at the faint spire of the fortress and that faint black smoke rising up.

Although they could not see the specific situation, the image had already formed in their minds: that damn Gervas and his subordinates were blocked outside the fortress and could not advance a single step further.

And in order to escape quickly, that Gervas would have no choice but to order his subordinates to launch a fierce assault on the fortress.

In this way, it would be the best moment for him to take down that damn brat.

"Great Chieftain Molar, should we Bloodthirsty Bat Knights go ahead and take a look first?"

At this moment, the Bloodthirsty Bat Knights overhead asked Molar aloud.

"No, Bloodthirsty Bat Knights, I want to give that damn brat a 'surprise'! If you are seen early, they will definitely discover us early!"

"And their spearmen are very strong; if they are prepared, they will surely increase the casualties of our Orc warriors!"

"Therefore, you must not only not go over immediately, but also reduce your speed as much as possible!"

"By the way, later you must also pay attention to observing the surroundings; if you discover enemy Griffin Knights, you absolutely cannot let them escape!"

"Understood, Great Chieftain Molar!"

The Bloodthirsty Bat Knights nodded, and immediately Wei La De's command descended in altitude to avoid startling the snake.

"And you, remember later: do not give those spearmen and longswordsmen any reaction time; the moment you see them, charge up at them for me until you crush and annihilate them!"

"As for that Gervas, you can spare his life; I want to take him back and present him to His Majesty the Beast King!" At this moment, Molar again gave orders aloud to the other group of Orc captains.

"Yes, Great Chieftain Molar!"

Just like that, twenty-odd minutes later, the fortress was finally within arm's reach.

One only needed to pass through the forest ahead to arrive directly at the wilderness outside the fortress.

Because of Molar's prior instruction, all the Orcs gripped their weapons tightly.

Moreover, in order to deliver a fatal blow to those humans, they did not let the servant army serve as cannon fodder.

"Orc warriors, prepare..."

Seeing that they were about to exit the forest, the group of captains all pulled their throats, and the next moment were about to shout the charge order!

However, as the last few large trees blocking the view disappeared, the scene appearing ahead made the Orc captains pause, instantly freezing there, somewhat at a loss.

"What are you still staring at? Hurry up and charge forward!"

Molar discovered the situation immediately.

Seeing that the foremost troops had already walked out of the forest but still had not launched the charge.

This made him anxious, and he could not help but shout in reprimand.

"Great Chieftain Molar... you... you should still come to the front and take a look!"

Hearing the reprimand, the captains finally came to their senses and carefully answered Molar aloud.

Molar's heart gave a thud, and he had a bad premonition.

The fact was indeed so; when Molar crossed the troops and arrived at the very front, looking at the fortress stronghold seven hundred meters away.

The imagined human siege did not exist; only an empty fortress stood quietly there, and moreover, even the fortress gate was wide open.

"This... this is impossible! Where are the people? Where are the humans? Where are the Orc warriors guarding this fortress? Where have they all gone?" Molar found it hard to believe.

However, obviously no one could answer this question for him.

One by one, the captains lowered their heads, daring not to speak.

Molar ground his teeth, "What are you still staring at? Immediately charge over for me and go inside the city to see what is going on!"

"Bloodthirsty Bat Knights, you immediately fly forward; if there is any situation, return immediately to report!"

"Yes, Great Chieftain Molar!"

Just like that, the Orc troops hurried forward and then entered the fortress.

After entering the fortress, Molar finally understood clearly: the Orc warriors inside this fortress were not missing, but had already been completely annihilated.

One could see that in the open ground at the center of the fortress, Orc corpses were everywhere the eye could reach.

Moreover, in the middle of that pile of corpses, there was even a small tower built from Orc skulls.

"Damn it!"

Provocation!

This was absolutely a naked provocation against the Orc warriors.

In the past, only they, the Orcs, would use such methods: cutting off the heads of two-legged sheep and arranging them into small towers to intimidate the two-legged sheep.

But now, someone had actually done such a thing to the Orc army.

This was absolutely something they could not tolerate.

Rustle! Rustle!

"Great Chieftain Molar! We have searched forward for five li continuously and have not discovered any trace of humans!"

"Additionally, outside the north gate of this fortress, there are large quantities of supplies that have been burned; the black smoke earlier was emitted by the embers of these supplies being burned!"

Just at this moment, the Bloodthirsty Bat Knights who had gone forward to explore also flew back.

They reported the situation they had investigated to Molar.

And what supplies humans could take to burn was also obvious.

Although these meats and flours had been snatched from the humans, once snatched into their hands, they belonged to their Orc clan!

If brought back, they could absolutely be used to raise more of the next generation for the beastfolk.

But now, they were being wasted away just like that.

"Chase them—get after them! You must kill this batch of humans! At any cost!"

And so, Morall, who had been in a pleasant mood half an hour ago, had now fallen into utter madness.

Eyes blood-red, wishing he could devour Gervas alive on the spot, he immediately ordered the troops to continue the pursuit.

Of course, Gervas and his group had a head start of more than half a day, so these orcs had no way of catching up directly no matter what.

Unless they were blocked again by a city or fortress.

And the only border town that could block Gervas from entering the wasteland ahead was called Snowfield City, still over a hundred li away from where they were now.

So both sides still had at least two more days of chase ahead of them.

While Morall's side was making slow progress, the Beast King over at Lindongcheng had been waiting for his chance and begun his final plan.

That dawn, Minister Weilade and Solit appeared at Lindongbao behind Lindongcheng.

Ever since the large stockpile of grain had been burned last time, the Grand Commander had been extremely attentive to the remaining grain, having it moved directly into Lindongbao, and had also arranged a large number of legion soldiers to stand guard.

As for Minister Weilade and Solit, they used the通行捲軸 they had previously begged from Duke Lieshi to enter Lindongbao.

After the two entered Lindongbao, they carefully hid themselves in a thicket.

Clang-clang-clang!

This wait lasted several hours.

When the time came to dawn, an urgent alarm bell suddenly rang out within Lindongcheng.

Accompanying it were faint shouts of killing and cries.

"What's going on?"

The Grand Commander of the legion rushed out of the keep very quickly.

"Grand Commander, it's bad—a group of men in black suddenly appeared in the city! They're killing everyone they see and setting fires everywhere!"

"Also, the orcs outside the city have launched an all-out attack!"

The messenger who had rushed over immediately reported the situation.

In fact, even without a report, from halfway up the mountain looking down, one could see the situation inside and outside Lindongcheng.

The Grand Commander looked out and saw that indeed at least forty or fifty fires of various sizes had broken out within the city.

Of course, even more deadly was that the orcs outside the city were holding torches and swarming toward Lindongcheng in a massive attack!
