157: Chapter 157 The Power of the Poisonous Skull

Just as Oiwagawa Gaku was preparing to return and continue the siege, he suddenly noticed that the city wall before him had instantly become incredibly tall.

“Wh... what's going on?”

He turned around and realized it wasn't that the wall had become taller, but that he had become shorter.

Even Dick Hogan had become an orc the size of a normal human, just like him.

Almost instantly, all the orc Professionals returned to the size of normal humans.

Not only that, but the ranged mage-type classes within the Orc Allied Forces also fell silent, showing no signs of activity.

“What's happening? Why can't I release my skills?!”

“Mine too...”

The sudden turn of events immediately caused internal chaos within the Orc Allied Forces. Professionals without skills were like fish on a chopping block, left to be slaughtered at will.

Although the giant city-guarding crossbows couldn't harm them before, that was while they were in their giant state.

Now that these orc Professionals had returned to the size of normal humans and couldn't release skills to protect themselves, things were different.

The Guard Army soldiers on the city wall also noticed this.

“They... they seem to have shrunk.”

“How about we try the giant city-guarding crossbows again?”

Two soldiers looked at each other and then quickly climbed onto the giant crossbow platform.

Lifting the bow to aim, they nocked and released the arrow.

The entire sequence of movements was smooth and incredibly practiced.

The massive arrow, carrying the sound of breaking air, shot toward the orcs below the city.

With a squelch, the sharp arrow successfully pierced through an orc's body, and the massive bolt actually pinned him directly to the ground.

“It... it worked!”

“I wounded it!”

In an instant, the Guard Army on the city wall were all invigorated. Being able to wound meant being able to kill; finally, they had a means of fighting back.

Because the Great Xia Dragon Country had a limited number of magic energy assault cannons, most of them had been sent to the front lines. The remaining ones were responsible for guarding some of the most important places within Great Xia.

The damage output of Taixiang City relied entirely on these giant city-guarding crossbows.

Finally able to fight back, the Guard Army soldiers on the city wall climbed onto the giant crossbows and began desperately launching a counterattack against the Orc Allied Forces outside the city.

Just then, hundreds of massive giants encased in armor suddenly appeared outside the city.

Clad in exquisite armor and wielding sharp, massive weapons, they exuded an aura of slaughter that caused the surrounding temperature to drop to zero.

Oiwagawa Gaku stared fixedly at these armored giants, and an ominous premonition instantly clouded his heart.

As if his life force were being squeezed by a pair of invisible hands, Dick Hogan broke out in a cold sweat, unable to even move.

Then, the hundreds of armored giants began to swing their weapons at them.

Every time a sharp blade fell, it claimed the lives of nearly a hundred orc Professionals.

It was as simple as chopping vegetables.

The aura of death also struck the chests of the Guard Army soldiers on the wall like a heavy hammer, the heavy pressure making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

But after seeing that the armored giants were friends and not foes, the hearts of all the Guard Army soldiers finally settled.

Then, these Guard Army soldiers began to act as a cheerleading squad, cheering and encouraging the armored giants.

Tang Mo also hadn't expected that after promoting to an Epic-grade skill, the overall appearance of the Highly Poisonous Skeleton would change so much, directly donning a suit of armor.

It had to be said that they were much more handsome than the bare skeletons they were before.

Not only that, but after gaining attributes equal to three times Tang Mo's spirit value, the Highly Poisonous Skeletons were already beings that crushed the entire field.

Squelch!

A giant axe fell, and Oiwagawa Gaku's two heads were directly separated from his body.

“Save me! Quickly, save me!”

Dick Hogan was so terrified by this shocking scene that his soul nearly left his body, and he howled as he desperately tried to run back.

But just as he turned around, he was run through by a sharp sword, dying instantly.

Seeing this, the Orc Allied Forces immediately fell into chaos, losing all will to fight and fleeing frantically.

But how could they escape without their skills?

The hundred or so Highly Poisonous Skeletons soon swept through the entire Orc Allied Forces outside Taixiang City.

Next was the equipment collection phase again.

Between Dayi City and Taixiang City, Tang Mo had gained a total of 300,000 skill points.

Tang Mo also realized that the treatment within the Orc Allied Forces varied.

At the very least, Oiwagawa Gaku and his team's equipment was not as excellent as that of the commander-in-chief's team.

They didn't even have a single powerful Secret Technique Scroll, which was no wonder they couldn't take Taixiang City for so long.

After dealing with the Orc Allied Forces at Dayi City and Taixiang City, Tang Mo used the Gate of All Things to go directly to Yulin City.

Outside Yulin City, a massive transparent air gate suddenly opened on the locked battlefield.

The gate looked as if it were installed in the air, pushed open from the inside out.

Then, hundreds of massive, armored giants filed out from the air gate.

They held sharp, giant blades already stained with the blood of various colored orcs, their tall bodies a head taller than even the Mammoth in the field.

As soon as the hundreds of armored giants appeared on the field, their solemn and terrifying aura caused everyone present to pause, and the entire battlefield instantly fell silent.

An ominous premonition instantly formed in Chebman's heart, and then he saw those hundreds of armored giants charging toward them with giant weapons.

A massive double-edged axe smashed directly down toward Chebman's head.

The blue cold light on the axe blade was soul-stirring, and the massive axe seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

Chebman, in his Mammoth form, narrowed his eyes and then raised the two giant tusks on his snout to meet the attack.

Possessing three pieces of saint artifact-grade equipment, he didn't think he would lose to such a fellow who only knew brute force.

Clang!

In the air, the tusks and the giant axe collided fiercely, producing the sound of metal clashing.

The terrifying force transmitted through the tusks forced the Mammoth to retreat repeatedly.

The sharp axe blade had even embedded itself deeply into the tusks.

Chebman was greatly shocked. Even with three pieces of saint artifact-grade equipment, he was actually not its match.

However, when he looked around, his shock grew even deeper.

Aside from Marshall, who could barely hold back one armored giant,

the other generals either had to work in pairs to barely hold back one armored giant, or work in threes to hold back one.

The rest of the armored giants charged into the Orc Allied Forces like tigers into a flock of sheep, beginning a wanton slaughter. For a time, the field was filled with the wails of orc soldiers.

The Orc Allied Forces, which had been in a great position just moments ago, collapsed in an instant.

Chebman watched the slaughtered Orc Allied Forces with not much change in expression.

“Since you are destined to be killed by others, then all of you become my nourishment to help me complete this mission!”

A red light flashed in Chebman's eyes, and a massive Hexagram Array appeared beneath his feet.

In an instant, a dense, evil dark aura gushed out from the Hexagram Array, spreading in all directions.
