Three hundred meters away, the Orc camp in front of the mine was bustling with activity.
The Wolf Riders who were scattered in the forest had all arrived before dark. Only about five hundred of the original six hundred were left. Most of the casualties were caused by the counterattack led by Roddy's team. This made the Orcs gnash their teeth in anger at the human team not far away. Every one of them shouted that they would avenge their comrades when the sun rose.
However, compared to his excited subordinates, Warlord Godard just stared blankly at the huge mine in front of him. He sighed in his heart. Before entering the Kingdom of Karen, the Orcs had never thought of themselves as poor. However, after entering the human world, they realized that they were worse than beggars.
Apart from their military strength, the Orcs were practically useless in other aspects. There were probably only five "iron mines" in the entire Orc Kingdom, and all of them were of extremely poor quality. In terms of value, they might not even be as valuable as the mines in the Coen Mountains.
Godard looked at the pieces of "Thorium" that his subordinates had found in the mine. Although he did not know how to use this material, as an Orc, "plundering resources" was definitely an instinct.
"Search the mine. Take as much of this ore as you can!"
Godard did not want to be a "warlord" for the rest of his life. In the Orc Kingdom where military strength was king, mines were definitely precious resources. If he could get his hands on these ores, his army would be better armed and more powerful …
When my army becomes stronger, Sauron will be nothing …
He clenched his fists, and the idea that had been brewing in his heart grew stronger.
On the other side, the black-robed Orc with the staff in his hand looked ahead expressionlessly. He was almost numb as he organized batch after batch of zombies to rush up the slope.
At this time, the trench dug by Roddy and the others had already been filled with corpses. There were too many zombies on the front line, and the soldiers had no choice but to push them down the cliff again and again.
At this point, the undead attacking them were no longer the private armies of the nobles. Instead, most of them were farmers dressed in plain clothes. It was obvious that the villagers who were slaughtered by the beastmen had all become the undead mage's subordinates.
The night breeze was abnormally cold, but the zombies were not affected at all. They kept charging forward, slowly wearing down the strength of the team in front of them. As a necromancer with powerful magical abilities, the black-robed orc had no intention of joining the battle himself. In his eyes, even if these stubborn humans fought with all their might, they would only be struggling at death's door until dawn.
"The Efta nobles have been cleaned up until now. You guys are the only ones left."
"What's the point of resisting now?"
Under the black hood, the orc's words were filled with undisguised arrogance and mockery.
*****
"Ding!"
Roddy rubbed his hands together and opened the Status Bar according to the notification. As expected, a line of words appeared on it.
[Undead Slaughterer] title had reached Level 3!
After looking up to make sure that the front line was stable, Roddy opened the description and carefully read the rewards after the upgrade.
Speaking of which, he had long forgotten that the title could be upgraded, "Undead Slaughterer" could be upgraded. All this while, he had activated the title "The Last Witcher" in battle. It was only in the afternoon that he switched the title to deal with the undead. However, when a large number of undead were killed by the soldiers, Roddy realized that the title had started to upgrade continuously.
When I first obtained this title, it came with two skills: [Find Weakness: Undead] and [Virus Resistance]. It was indicated that the title could only be leveled up by killing this undead. As the battle continued, the title quickly leveled up after killing 100 and 300 undead, and I received two new skills:
[Tracking: Undead] Level 1
Activate: Show undead within 200 meters on the map. Unable to show hidden targets.
Consumption: 10 Stamina per minute.
[Disguise: Undead] Level 1
Consumption: 50 Stamina
Duration: 3 minutes
Use: Hide your presence, greatly reducing the probability of being discovered by the undead. Can be recognized by high-level undead.
These skills were very targeted, but they were not of much use in the current battle. Because the enemies were surging in like the tide, whether it was "Tracking" or "Disguise", it was meaningless.
"Eighth team! Come up! "
"Yes!"
The Rose Cross Bishop's shout came from the front. The 15 noble private soldiers immediately rushed to the front from the rear, picked up their shields, and replenished the frontmost line.
The barbarian soldiers who fought at the beginning were now sleeping soundly in the rear. Most of them were exhausted, and many were injured. But because of the divine purification, there were only those who fell from exhaustion from beginning to end, but no one died in battle.
The situation of the nobles' private soldiers and the "Rose Cross" Holy War Army was much worse. Even with the bishop and the accompanying priests personally supervising the battle, more than 40 people had their necks bitten off and died on the frontline. But as time passed, these soldiers gradually found the trick to deal with the zombies, and the casualty rate finally began to decrease.
Even so, the situation of the battle was not optimistic. Even though the ten teams had been taking turns to rest, their stamina gradually began to weaken. Under such circumstances, more troops should have been sent, but Roddy hid the most powerful Dragon Spear Cavalry Regiment. Sally, Akasha, Naifei, and the others were also arranged to rest in the rear, obviously to accumulate strength.
"Commander, the soldiers are too tired. If we don't send more people, we really can't hold on!"
After midnight, the sweating bishop finally could not help but ask Roddy for help. The latter did not agree, but only let Erwin take the barbarian soldiers who had rested for three hours to join the battle. Although the front line was stabilized again, no matter how strong they were, the number of enemies never showed signs of reducing …
More than a thousand undead had died on the long slope, and the number at the back was endless at a glance. From the foot of the mountain to here, almost all the undead were dead. The soldiers in the front had no time to care about this, but the nobles at the back saw it clearly. Such a desperate situation made their hearts completely cold.
But right at this moment, some strange noises came stealthily …
*****
"Bang — —"
A sudden vibration came from the mine, causing Godard, who was drowsy in front of the bonfire, to shiver.
"What's going on?"
He turned over and quickly picked up his battle-ax. The guards around also gathered around, looking at the place where the sound came from. But because there were no torches lit in the mine, they could only stare blankly since they were already night blind.
Godard tried hard to calm himself down, and then realized that something might have happened to the team sent to the mine. He immediately said, "Grier, light a few more torches and call seven people to investigate. Report immediately if there's anything! "
"Yes, Overseer!" “
A team of Orc soldiers immediately entered the mine with weapons in hand. But less than three minutes after entering, there was another vibration from inside …
"Bang!"
Compared to the previous sound, this time it was obviously much louder, and the distance was much closer …
"What's going on?"
Godard could not understand what was happening in the mine, but his instincts made him grip his weapon tightly and say, "Everyone, hold your weapons!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure holding a torch appeared in the mine. The other party happened to be the team leader that Godard had just sent out. At this moment, he was running with all his might. Although he was holding a torch in his hand, he flung it out with orange light —
"Run! Run — "
Before he could finish speaking, his body seemed to be hit by something. He spun around and fell to the ground, the torch in his hand landing four or five meters away with a thud.
The next moment, the fire was extinguished with a "chi" sound, and all the sounds came to an abrupt end.
Upon seeing this scene, no matter how foolish the orcs were, they would realize that there was probably something troublesome in the mine. The guards immediately surrounded Godard, but the Overseer didn't panic. Instead, he shouted, "Light the torches! Light all the torches! "
"Hiss …"
Before the Orcs could move, a strange hiss suddenly appeared in front of them. Godard only saw a blurry shadow flash by, and the subordinate standing at the front was sent flying with a scream —
"Pa da!"
When his body landed on the ground, Godard realized that his body had been split in half, and blood sprayed all over the ground!
At the same time, several two-meter-tall black shadows rushed over. They raised their scythe-like arms high up and instantly slashed at Godard!
"Crack!"
A huge force came, and the battle axe that Godard had raised to block was broken on the spot. However, he bent his body and dodged the opponent's second attack. Taking advantage of the enemy's exhaustion, the Orc Overseer did not retreat but advanced instead. He leaned his body forward, and with an angry roar, he slammed his shoulder into the enemy!
"Die!"
The Orc's bravery was undoubtedly displayed here. The strength that was even more terrifying than the barbarians' Frenzy sent the enemy flying. Amidst the sound of the armor cracking, Godard punched through the enemy's abdomen …
"Pu —"
Green blood splattered on Godard's face. He took a closer look and found that this black fellow's head was like a pangolin's. Its upright body was covered in black armor, and its arms were actually two long claws that were more than a meter long. Looking at the Orc that had been cut in half, he knew that the claws were unimaginably sharp.
Seeing the enemy twitching and struggling, Godard did not care if his palm would be cut. He pressed down on the enemy's claws and punched its head more than ten times. He only stood up while panting heavily when the enemy's brain was smashed out.
But then he realized that … the situation had already gone out of control.
The other Orcs were not as strong as Godard. Faced with dozens of monsters surging out of the mines, the Night Blind Orcs were cut down almost immediately. Even the patrol team that rushed over on their wolf mounts were easily cut down by the enemy's claws!
"What the hell is this thing?!"
Godard stared at the scene in front of him, completely dumbfounded.
