"Boom!" An explosion followed by a flash of white light appeared on the Miracle Wall, and a giant shield appeared to block the power of the explosion.
Seeing the intermediate wizard take away a crossbow, the orc priests were enraged. A few of them madly pointed at the mountain of corpses, and explosions continued to emerge.
A giant shield appeared on the Miracle Wall in an instant. This was the true power of the Miracle Wall, but it consumed a lot of energy. Normal attacks would only activate a small part of the shield.
'Corpse explosion' and 'poison explosion' spells were continuously cast by the priests. The explosion created a cloud of fire and poison mist that covered the entire Miracle Wall in a blood mist.
White light flashed on the Miracle Wall's shield, and the shield began to shake violently. The powerful attacks were spread across the entire shield, and the power of the explosion was absorbed.
Abel was shocked to see the priests in black were madly consuming death qi. However, with such a dense spell casting, no matter how much death qi they had, it would be consumed soon.
"K3003, aren't the priests afraid of consuming too much death qi?" Abel turned around and asked.
"Do you see the land outside the Miracle Wall? Over the years, countless orc corpses have turned into mud. No plants can survive on this land, not even insects. This place is filled with death qi. If it wasn't for the Miracle Wall, this death qi would have affected Miracle City! "K3003 sighed as he pointed at the land outside the Miracle Wall.
It was because the corpses outside the Miracle Wall had turned into soil over the years that the priests standing on the ground could directly use the death energy outside their bodies to cast spells. This was also the result of the priests' research and improvement on their spells over the years.
"I don't understand. Why would the Orc Empire let the Pecker Orcs die like this?" Abel asked in confusion as he looked at the mountain of corpses outside the Miracle Wall.
No matter what, these were lives. Why would the Orc Empire let the Pecker Orcs die like this in exchange for some arrows and an experiment?
"Everyone would ask the same question when they see so many Pecker Orc corpses for the first time. I asked the same question when I first came here." K3305 lowered his voice.
"Remember, the seniors answered me like this. First of all, the Pecker Orcs are too good at breeding. The Orc Empire could not afford to feed them at all!" K3305 continued.
"How is that possible? Those Pecker Orcs are riding on wild boars. Aren't they food?" Abel asked in confusion.
Indeed, the Pecker Orcs had a lot of wild boars. The orc empire had sent the Pecker Orcs to their deaths, and at the same time, they had sent so many wild boars to die with them. If these wild boars could be killed for meat, it might solve the food shortage problem of the orcs.
"The orcs are still an intelligent race. No matter what, they will not eat their own kind!" K3305 looked at Abel and said.
"K3305, you mean those wild boars are the same kind of orcs as the Pecker Orcs?" Abel asked in shock.
"When the Pecker Orcs give birth, there is a 50% chance that they will give birth to non-human Pecker Orcs. These Pecker Orcs will eventually become the mounts of their brothers and sisters. Whenever the number of Pecker Orcs reaches a certain number, the Orc Empire will arrange an attack like this. Sometimes there will be more of them, but in the past year, there have been fewer of them.
Today's attack was smaller than last year, but it was the largest attack this year. The Orc Empire will send Pecker Orcs over a certain age to attack the Miracle Wall. This has become a tradition.
As you can see, a large number of Pecker Orcs have died in front of the Miracle Wall, so the Miracle Wall has become the home ground of the priests. Normal people cannot withstand the impact of death qi on the land outside of the Miracle Wall. Even wizards need to use defensive spells to resist the impact of death qi. Of course, a Grand Knight can still stay for a short period of time, "K3305 told Abel everything he knew.
That was when Abel realized what had happened to the land outside the Miracle Wall. It made sense. Countless orcs had died there for thousands of years, and the dead bodies and death qi had been transformed by the priests. Therefore, it had become a natural barrier.
"Of course, it's not like there is no way to suppress this death qi. Our Miracle City will often organize a clean-up mission. The Miracle Spirit will use its energy to forcefully suppress the death qi on this land and create a tunnel." K3305 continued.
"What's a cleaning mission for?" Abel asked curiously when he heard about the mission again.
"We can't let too many orcs attack our Miracle Wall, so Miracle City will organize some elite Knights and wizards to take the initiative to clean-up some tribes in the Orc Empire. The mission is very dangerous, but the war glory is very high!" K3305 explained.
"Very high war glory!" Abel's eyes began to sparkle. As long as he could get enough war glory, he could leave this place and go back to his territory to train.
"Haha, let's go together when we have time. I'm sure we can get even more rewards with you!" Said k3305 with a smile. He was very willing to team up with Abel. With such a powerful partner, the mission would be much smoother, and it would be much safer.
"If these priests don't have powerful protection, they might not be able to go back!" K3003 pulled his mind back from the military card and said to Abel.
"You found the problem with the arrows?" Abel asked even though he already knew the answer.
"Thanks for your discovery. The Miracle Spirit has already notified the hunting team outside the city. If these priests don't have powerful protection, they might not be able to go back!" K3003 replied with a smile.
At that moment, Abel's military card began to vibrate. He connected his power of the will to the card and received a message from the Miracle Spirit.
"K3516, your information has been verified. You have received 10 war glory!"
Ten war glory. It seemed like the Miracle Spirit placed a lot of importance on the armor-piercing crossbow. Just the discovery of it gave ten war glory. Even Abel was only compensated with five war glory in the end, and an emergency protection mission only gave him two war glory.
At that moment, the priests outside the Miracle Wall had begun to retreat. The Pecker orcs' corpses had been blown into pieces, and the outside of the Miracle Wall was filled with pieces of flesh. The air was filled with poisonous fog. The wind was very weak, so it would take some time for the fog to disappear.
Miracle City could not send more people to chase after the priests, so they could only rely on the hunting team.
The Knights began to retreat from the Miracle Wall. Only a small number of Knights were left to patrol the area. Some wizards had also begun to leave.
Abel did not leave. He walked to the edge of the Miracle Wall and looked at the ground 500 meters below. It was different from what he saw through the scouting circle. He could see the dirty blood slowly seeping into the ground.
He finally understood why it was so hard to clean up the corpses. The corpses had become one with the ground, and the death qi was very hard to clean up.
Abel's heart was not calm. He stood on top of the Miracle Wall and looked around. It was a completely different world. On the human side, other than the vitality of Miracle City, there were more patches of greenery. On the other hand, the orcs' side was a completely barren land. Only a few patches of greenery could be seen from afar, indicating that there was still a glimmer of life there.
To be honest, he really could not sympathize with the orcs. If the Pecker orcs had enough food, the most powerful force in the Holy Continent would no longer be the humans, but the orcs.
Perhaps the orcs would be replaced by the humans, and the orcs would be the ones dying.
By that point, he knew the importance of the Miracle Wall. As long as the Orc Empire could break the Miracle Wall and obtain the rich resources of the human world, the power of the Orc Empire would explode within a few years.
Abel could not imagine how the humans had driven the orcs back to the Budapest Mountains. He could not imagine how the orcs had dug through the Budapest Mountains and how much the humans had sacrificed to drive the orcs back to the other side of the Budapest Mountains.
"K3516, no need to look. You will have plenty of chances in the future!" K3305 did not leave. He was still waiting for Abel.
