In the land and sky that were polluted by Chaos, Cruel Getwo was revived.
Under the gaze of the Eye of Eternity, the nine rings of Chaos Spikes released a huge amount of power. Colorful flames burned in the central mountains. The evil energy of Chaos weaved into a giant net. Hundreds of black threads shrouded the mountains. The Dark Moon Moscrib shone brighter and brighter. The eight rings of Chaos gradually formed an airtight gear. The stars began to shift.
Under the will of the Light of Darkness and the Four Gods of Chaos, the most notorious Orc King, Cruel Getwo, was revived. His roar caused the stars to tremble and the mountains to tremble.
"Master needs your power, Getwo." Zech's Chosen Hal said to Getwo, "This is a gift from the True God. You have to know that it is the power of the Lord of Changes that allowed you to be reborn."
Getwo was a very strong Orc. No other Horned Beast was as strong and powerful as him. He was more than 2.5 meters tall and wore a huge bone helmet. It was a Chaos Goat Helmet. His body was covered with the symbol of the Chaos Octagonal Star. Powerful evil Chaos energy enveloped Getwo's body. This was rare for an Orc. But it also showed that the Four Gods of Chaos really liked Getwo.
Gewo replied with a low growl. His throat made a whistling sound. Hal, the Eye of Eternity understood Gewo's voice, but after some thought, he still took out a bottle of dark blue potion with a faint pink tinge.
Getwo took the potion and drank it carefully. Finally, his dry and low roar turned into a language that could be understood. "The prophecy of the True God … has come … The Empire is destined … to be destroyed in my hands … You … You are the messenger of the Supreme Eagle … You brought the order of the Chosen God. And I … will lead all the Viscounts of Darkness to assist you."
"That's right. I am the messenger of the Lord of Changes." Hal – The Eye of Eternity nodded, and Chosen One of God said, "You must destroy the army of Knight King Laing -Macado and the White Wolf Elector Boris -Todbringer as per the Lord's command!"
"Then … the Son of Darkness … the Son of Chaos … all of Drakwald's brethren shall … obey!" Cruel Gewo knelt on one knee and accepted this supreme order.
On this day, the most infamous legendary Orc King, Getwo, was revived!
Under Gewo's call, from the Central Mountain Range to the Shadowy Forest, from Drakwald to Wester Hill, countless Orcs screamed. The Shamans received the omen of Chaos and gathered fervently. Tens of thousands of Orcs sensed the return of a Legend and raised their swords to salute Darkmoon Moscrib.
In history, the Orcs had many powerful Orc Kings, but none of them could be compared to Getwo.
This was because he had a trait that all Beastmen didn't have: foresight and wisdom that combined pure bestiality with rational thinking. Getwo was sure that the God of Chaos had chosen him as his messenger. He was destined to control the Black Forest of the world.
Just as he said, the Evil God of Chaos really liked Getwo. He blessed Getwo again and again, allowing Getwo to obtain great power. In order to unify the Central Mountain Range, Getwo decided to share the revelation of Chaos with all the Orcs.
What no one expected was that Getwo's actions deeply infuriated the God of Chaos. However, the Evil God liked Getwo so much that he didn't turn him into a Chaos Egg. Instead, he told him that he had to slaughter every human in this land to slightly appease the Evil God's anger.
Thus, a few hundred years ago, the greatest Orc Frenzy in history occurred.
At this time, the Empire, together with Brittania, Tyrell and Estalia, was carrying out the famous Araby Expedition. Almost all of the Empire's knights and elite troops were participating in this expedition. The Empire's territory lacked heavy armored knights and elite troops, which gave Gewo the best opportunity to strike.
Like a merciless storm, tens of thousands of Orcs invaded Auster Territory and Hawk Territory.
This time, the Orcs weren't here to plunder.
All the men were slaughtered. Even the women and children were brutally murdered. Towns and castles were razed to the ground, and smoke rose into the sky. The Empire's attack only allowed the Taurens to devour more fresh meat. Every night, the Orcs would happily chew on raw human meat and enjoy the fatty flesh of the humans while drinking large cups of human blood.
The sky behind Getwo's army was covered by black smoke. Laughter and noises rose into the sky. After the army passed by, only the flesh and bones of the innocent were left. Then, more Orcs joined Getwo's army. They decided to advance towards Hawk Territory.
In the central mountain range, Getwo encountered a tribe of green-skinned Black Orcs. The opponent was a very powerful enemy, and the Black Orc warlord was unbelievably strong. Normally, the Orcs wouldn't be a match for the Black Orcs. However, Getwo received a revelation from the God of Chaos and decided to face the challenge head-on.
A terrifying bloody battle began. There were no strategies, tactics, or combat techniques. Both sides were seeking pure brute force and a war of attrition. The armies of the two races merged into an angry swamp of flesh and steel. The leaders of both sides fought their way into the center of the bloody whirlpool and glared at each other.
After a long battle, Getwo finally seized the opportunity to kill the Black Orc warlord. Thus, the Orc army won the final victory. None of the green-skinned Orcs left the central mountain range alive.
The battle between the Orcs and the green-skinned Orcs gave Hawk Territory enough time to gather its army. Elector Michael Lenhaver gathered all the adult males to defend the capital, Herzig.
The siege lasted for 23 days. The Orc army finally breached the city gate. Then, it was another three days and three nights of street fighting. Both sides lost most of their forces in this crazy and desperate war of attrition. Getwo finally reached the entrance of the Kurfürst's palace.
It was worth mentioning that an important courtier of Elector Hawk suggested that the Kurfürst surrender to the Orcs to "save the country". Michael angrily rejected and gave the courtier the title of "Good Orc Son". Then, he threw the courtier out of the city. When Getwo caught the courtier, he was very happy and promised to protect his safety. The prerequisite was that the courtier had to tell the Orc army the weakness of the Kurfürst's palace and pretend to be a guide.
To everyone's surprise, the courtier rejected and scolded Getwo. He told Getwo that he would never associate himself with the God of Chaos.
The courtier was dismembered by the five beasts and eaten alive. Then, Getwo ordered the final attack.
However, at this moment, the Empire's Arabi Expeditionary Force returned.
Hundreds of Scorching Sun Knights, more Empire Knights, and an incalculable number of Empire's Expeditionary Force finally arrived. The Orc army was attacked from both sides and was on the verge of collapse. Getwo then made a decision. He requested to have a championship duel with Elector Michael of Hawk Territory.
Michael agreed. Both sides fought at the entrance of the Kurfürst's palace for an hour. In the end, the Kurfürst was pierced by Getwo's long spear. He raised his spear to show off his victory. However, Michael used the moment when Getwo was intoxicated by his victory to pierce Getwo's chest with the Kurfürst's sacred sword, Rune Fang. Both of them perished together.
After losing Getwo's leadership and prestige, the Orcs crumbled. The Hawk Territory's Expeditionary Force and the Empire's Expeditionary Force were unable to chase after them. Getwo's invasion came to an end.
Even though the Empire won, Hawk Territory and Auster Territory lost more than 80% of their population. It took one to two hundred years to rebuild. Especially the large area around the central mountain range, it was no longer as prosperous as before. It was covered by the Orc's Black Forest. The vast forest was dotted with the ruins of villages and towns. They gradually decayed and became overgrown with weeds. Then, they were forgotten and feared by the Humans.
That was the great history of Getwo. When Getwo appeared in Drakoward and announced his return, every Orc let out an unprecedented roar.
"Drakoward … Drakoward … your Apocalypse … is back!"
All of the Orc tribes had gathered! Getwo instantly had an army of tens of thousands of Orcs with Horned Beasts and 200,000 low-level Orcs!
The Apocalypse had arrived!
Getwo stood in his personal war chariot at the front of the army. On both sides of the chariot were his subordinates. The Chaos Mammoths' footsteps shook the ground. Swarms of strong Taurens ran wildly under the promise of a feast of flesh and blood. The tall bodies of the Chaos Trolls and Dragon Devils looked down on the army. The Shamans who were adept at Mana came out of their seclusion to join Getwo's army. These troops and other rare large monsters waded through the water and advanced towards the Empire.
They had only one target, the Human army formed by Laing and Boris.
If everyone thought that Getwo would attack immediately, they were wrong. Under the gazes of tens of Howling Shamans, Getwo was crowned as the supreme Orc King. Then, he gave an order that the Orc King and Howling Shamans couldn't understand.
He wanted to go to the Black Pit personally.
In the uninhabited depths of the Drakoward Forest, there was a dense hill. The dark and decaying valley was located on this hill. It was called the Black Pit or Hundred Eyes Valley.
This was the sacred land of the Forest Goblins and the core of the Green Spider Empire. Piles of bones and large Spider Nests were scattered all over this decaying land. This valley was the evil heart of the Spider Kingdom. Only those giant spiders, which were so big that they scared people out of their wits, would build their filthy spider nests here. Whenever the two moons met in the night sky, the Anakonari Large Spiders would come from the Old World to this twisted forest to reproduce.
"Green Skin … vicious … warlike … they kill Humans … wild beasts … happy!" Getwo explained to his subordinates, "Humans … despicable and shameless … oppressing … the Green Skin territory … cooperation … victory!"
Getwo personally led a small number of elite Minotaurs, Great Horned Beasts, and two Four-Armed Bull Devils deep into the Drakoward Forest.
As time passed, the large oak trees in the forest became more twisted and strange. When the trees were blocked by spider webs, the dark green and brown were replaced by gray and white. The surrounding forest became silent. Many warriors walked through the bushes and saw the claws and beaks of the spider webs. They understood what was going on. Spider webs that were large enough to contain a human corpse were everywhere.
The Orcs were terrified by this scene, but Getwo was famous. No Orc chose to retreat. All the Orcs knew that Getwo was favored by the Chaos Gods. It was time to offer something to the Gods to attract their attention.
Suddenly, the spider webs around the Orcs started buzzing. Every shadow had a strange spider crawling in it. A forest goblin rode on the spider's back, and every green rider was wearing bones and feathers.
In the middle of the spiders was a slender Goblin Warlord. He wore a mask with feather edges. The Goblin Warlord's eyes glowed with green light in the darkness. The large gray spider beneath him dashed out a path through the spider webs.
Getwo knew that the Goblin Warlord was the famous Green Skin Spider King, Snagra Venomsaliva. The Supreme Orc King raised his Dark Spear and signaled for his restless subordinates to calm down. Then he patted his chest and shook his fists before raising them towards the sky.
The Goblin Warlord wore a feather spider mask. He was puzzled as to why the Orcs were doing that, but he signaled for the countless Green Skin Spider Fang warriors and Forest Goblins to stop moving.
Nobody knew what the Orc Supreme Orc King, Getwo Ruthless, and the Green Skin Spider King, Snagra Venomsaliva discussed. But after an hour, a new treaty was successfully signed.
This alliance was called the "Alliance of the Forest". The King of the Green Spider Kingdom, Snagra Venomsaliva, announced that the Goblins of the Black Pits would fight alongside the Orcs of Drakwald. In order to exterminate the Humans and expel the Shrimps from their sacred forest, Snagra Venomsaliva and his army would mobilize in full force!
The end of the Humans had arrived!
… I am the dividing line of the Axis of Evil …
At the beginning of February, Year 2515 of the Empire's calendar, the fierce battle at Von Zhukov's castle continued. The defending army, led by the Regent of Auster, Oleg Von Zhukov, and Marshal Model, resisted with all their might. Model set up three layers of defense outside the castle. He used the heavy cavalry as a mobile force and built a large number of earthworks to resist.
But this could not stop Motekin's attack. The Black Iron Avenger swore to make Auster and Oleg pay a heavy price. Both sides fought near the castle for close to 20 days.
In the past 20 days, all the fallen areas of Auster had been plunged into a sea of blood.
The famous writer of the Empire, Frey Friedrich Schiller, was captured as a clerk. In his notes, he recorded the cruelty of the Army of Chaos.
"The village of Heit fell. The Barbarians captured two hundred and twenty-three villagers alive. For every person they captured alive, they dissected their intestines, skinned them, hung them on trees, and tossed them on stones.
"The Barbarians captured four hundred and thirty-four wounded soldiers. Decapitation was not enough. All were sentenced to death by dismemberment.
"Every time the Barbarians captured a place, they would kill it and offer its head as a sacrifice to the fallen Barbarian warriors. Motekin gnashed his teeth in pain, and the Barbarians fought for his flesh.
"When the barbarians broke into the city, the old and the weak, the local people, those who couldn't escape and those who had no cellars to dig, were all killed. Eight or nine out of ten people were slaughtered. Children under the age of two or three were also slaughtered, crawling on the road. Women over the age of thirty were all slaughtered. The elderly were all dismembered. Some were slashed more than ten times, some dozens of slashes. Their cries of agony spread far and wide.
"Everything in the city that could be taken was swept away. Everything that could not be taken was destroyed. The fences were destroyed, and the coffins were cut open for treasures.
"The Barbarians from outside the city rushed in. The people and civilians in the city had nowhere to run. Their cries were so tragic that they could not be heard. From morning to night, they were slaughtered … Corpses piled up, and the rivers were red.
"The Barbarians searched and killed in sections. By the beginning of February, two million people in the Empire and Kislöw had died in the catastrophe. The streams along the way were filled with corpses. Towns and villages, thousands of houses were burned, and everything was destroyed. Charlemagne above, the people were plunged into misery and suffering!
After such a tragic battle, the first two lines of defense of Von Zhukov's castle had been breached. The defenders retreated to the third line of defense, and some even entered the castle to prepare for defense. The allied forces of Nord, Auster, and Austermark suffered a fatal blow. Although they received reinforcements from Tarabek, the number of defenders was still reduced from one hundred thousand to fifty-five thousand.
Black Iron Motekin's losses were even worse. However, with the arrival of one hundred thousand Barbarian reinforcements from the north, the number of attackers increased from one hundred and twenty thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand.
At the same time, a new one hundred and fifty thousand Army of Chaos began to gather in the Chaos Wasteland, ready to go south.
