Chapter 580: Chapter 452, Red Dragon Attacks_1
The ckstone Tribe, atop the city walls.
The Great Commander stared at the advancing Undead army, his face grim.
Even now, he couldn’t understand why those ugly spiders would bring the Undead as reinforcements when they were besieged.
No matter how he considered it, the two sides should have no connection whatsoever.
But regardless, the Undead army was already at their city gates, the fodder troops outside the city were either dead or had fled.
Those trapped within the city could only face the impending threat.
Thud, thud, thud!
Just as the Great Commander was anxiously discussing battle strategies with the tribal leaders,
A burly female Orc d in Beast Skin armor, leading her own squad, rushed up angrily, shouting at the Great Commander, “Why did you order the city gates closed? There are still many soldiers outside. How will the tribes ever trust the ckstone again?”
This female Orc is named Rhesa, the daughter of the ckstone Tribe’s n Leader.<div>
In the tribe, although her status was not as high as her brothers’, her identity still held some influence.
In recent times, ‘Rhesa’ unexpectedly demonstrated strategic capabilities, in fact, her influence is on the rise.
Seeing the closing of the city gates yet many soldiers remained outside.
Rhesa stormed forward, brazenly confronting the Commander.
Regarding Rhesa’s interruption, the Great Commander’s face hardened as he sternly replied: “In absence of the n Leader, I have the sole authority tomand the ckstone Tribe, it’s not your ce to question me.”
The Great Commander was a hero who joined the tribeter.
It was only after he joined, and the tribe had two heroes at its helm, that it rapidly expanded.
When the n Leader is absent, the Great Commander holds the highestmand.
Even the n Leader’s children, unless they have be heroes, do not qualify to challenge the Great Commander.
This is the way of the Orc Tribe, where power is the highest order, particrly under normal circumstances.
Moreover, the current situation is exceptionally critical, hence the Great Commander could hardly be kind.
“There’s still a distance between the city gates and the Undead Army. Opening the gates could save more Orcs, and boost our defensive troop strength.” Rhesa continued.
Orcs outside the city were trying to flee in every direction.
Once they run, they lose all theirbat power.
If allowed to enter the city, not only will it prove that the ckstone Tribe hasn’t abandoned them, but it would also increase the defense force.
The Great Commander nced back at Rhesa, “There are Orcs within the Undead forces, if they mingle and enter the city with the crowd, it will only make the tribe’s situation more passive.”
He took a deep breath and continued: “Rhesa, I understand your thoughts, no doubt your befriended human is still outside, but I want to remind you that the tribe is at a life-or-death situation, and we cannot tolerate your nonsense.”
“You…” Rhesa was visibly upset, but she didn’t retort.
Many within the tribe were familiar with her associations with humans, it wasn’t a secret.<div>
Her followers behind, were also continuously persuading her not to confront the Great Commander at a sensitive time.
Just as the Great Commander himself said, in the absence of the n Leader, he holds the suprememand.
Even if right now, hemanded to decapitate Rhesa, no one would object.
The Great Commander swept a cold nce over Rhesa, ordering, “Take Rhesa and herpanions to the dungeons, we’ll deal with them when the n Leader returns.”<div>
As the order was given, several Orc guards came forward immediately.
Rhesa tried to resist but to no avail. Her weapon was confiscated, and she was taken to the dungeon.
As Rhesa and others left, tranquility returned to the city walls.
The Great Commander resumed discussing the impending battle.
After issuing fast-paced instructions, all Orc leadersplied and descended from the city walls, preparing for theing battle.
Watching the Skeleton army drawing closer,
The Great Commander’s expression remained grave. ncing over to the human-shaped Dragon n member beside him, he said, “Mr. Spencer from the Dragon n, I hope you will help the ckstone Tribe ovee the uing challenge.”
The root cause of this conflict with the Undead was the investigation of the Dragon n’s artifacts.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have provoked those spiders, thus attracting so many Undead.
However, as things have gotten to this point, he did not want to tear the wound open any wider.
The Dragon n possesses the ability to fly.
If they realize things aren’t going well, they may simply shrug it off and leave, impossible for them to be held back.
As for the Orcs, they had no second choice but to defend their city with all they had.<div>
Messages for help had already been sent out.
They had to hold on until dawn, and wait for the n Leader to bring reinforcements.
Spencer from the Dragon n, looking at the fast-approaching Skeleton Army, also looked a bit uneasy.
How did they end up attracting so many skeletons?
It’s almost like a nightmare.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But Spencer was even calmer than the Great Commander. As a member of the powerful Dragon n, he was full of confidence in himself.
“These are just some low-grade Undead without wisdom. Their only advantage is their numbers. If we find the right opportunity to kill theirmand, we can potentially win this battle.”
These skeletons were obviously low-rank Undead.
Killing themander in the Undead Army would render these low-rank Undead incapable of staging an organized offense, which would then allow for them to break through steadily.
Therefore, a beheading mission was their only chance at victory.
Hearing Spencer’s suggestion, not just the Great Commander, but all other Orcs lit up.
This was indeed a usible solution.
