83: Ancestral Totem

Seeing this, the Orc Commander still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. He raised his battle axe high and urged the army with a hoarse voice:

"Push into the center of the God Domain! Find the God Domain Core and destroy it!"

While dodging the dense pits and dealing with the attacks of the Worms, the Orc Army managed to charge into the center of the God Domain.

But reality dealt them a heavy blow; there was nothing here!

Seeing this, the Commander sighed inwardly.

Having come this far, there's no turning back now. Search!

He arranged for some Orc Warriors to protect the ranged units, while the other Orc Warriors began to sweep through these burrows.

They formed a formation, not missing a single burrow.

As the Orcs in the front entered a cave, the ones behind filled the gap, ensuring that a small squad of Orc Warriors entered each cave.

After some of the Orc Warriors at the very front entered the burrows, countless Worms swarmed out from the cave ceiling, the ground, and the cracks in the rock walls, ferociously biting them.

Piercing screams of agony continuously spread through the dense network of caves to other caves and the outside world, sending chills down people's spines.

But military orders could not be disobeyed, so they still cautiously stepped into those unknown caves.

This method was naturally extremely slow. The number of Orcs was limited, while the number of these pits was several times greater than the number of Orc Warriors.

After some Orc Warriors safely returned from inside the burrows, they had to enter new burrows for exploration again.

However, a portion of the Orc Warriors never came out again.

It was unknown whether they were lost in the endless burrows or were tortured to death by the infinite Worms inside.

Just like that, through the slow process of advancement, they eliminated the wrong answers one by one.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was not idle. Since the Orc Army was already deeply mired in the mud of his Abyss, he had to reciprocate the courtesy.

First, he sent two hundred Shadow Assassins to infiltrate the enemy's God Domain to ascertain the enemy's strength and weaknesses, and then seize the opportunity to destroy the God Domain Core.

The Shadow Assassins successfully scouted the defensive strength of the Orcs' lair, but destroying the God Domain Core proved somewhat beyond their capabilities.

In the Orcs' lair, there were still over ten thousand Orc Army stationed there, not including the Orc civilians.

It's important to know that Orcs are also a race where the entire population is soldiers; when necessary, they can also pick up weapons to defend their homeland.

What made it even more difficult for the Shadow Assassins to handle was their God Domain Core.

Their God Domain Core was embedded within a totem pole, and upon the totem pole, countless silver lightning bolts were moving.

At this level, all God Lords have some special protective methods for their own God Domain Core.

The ice statue in the Ice Frost God Domain encountered before, and the Angel statue in the Light God Domain, were also a type of defensive measure.

And this totem pole was not simple; it was called the Ancestral Totem, and it was the faith of the Orcs.

It was not only their spiritual belief but also the pillar of their cultural heritage.

And the Orc Shamans, by communicating with the Ancestral Totem, could obtain the inheritance and power blessings of the ancestors.

Therefore, this totem pole and the God Domain Core were equally important to the Orc race.

More than ten Shadow Assassins infiltrated from the Shadow World to the totem pole, intending to attack the God Domain Core on it.

But the silver lightning on the totem pole was not for decoration.

The moment the Shadow Assassins attacked, numerous small arcs of electricity shot out from within the totem, striking them.

This seemingly insignificant arc of electricity contained immense power, directly crippling all the physical functions of the Shadow Assassins.

This attack also attracted the attention of the Orc soldiers stationed outside the totem pole.

"Enemy attack!"

A roar of anger drew everyone's attention, even the female Orcs who were washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of children returned to their rooms to grab their weapons.

Countless Orcs swarmed in, surrounding the God Domain Core so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the remaining Shadow Assassins quickly attacked the God Domain Core, wanting to destroy it as soon as possible.

Some of the Shadow Assassins charged from all directions, using Shadow Ambush to launch a surprise attack, their black light daggers slashing directly at the God Domain Core.

Another group of Shadow Assassins directly unleashed Shadow Blade Storm, attempting to destroy the God Domain Core from a distance.

A familiar scene unfolded again: the totem pole erupted with countless arcs of electricity, spreading outwards.

With just one strike, all the shadow blades and the Shadow Assassins who appeared in the God Domain were killed.

Only a few dozen Shadow Assassins hiding in the shadow space managed to survive by chance.

Ye Chen looked at the mighty totem pole and couldn't help but be amazed.

He lost over a hundred Shadow Assassins, but the God Domain Core wasn't attacked at all.

It seems he must use a large army to force an attack; assassins cannot take down defense towers.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately mobilized the Demons and Blood Bats army from the third level of the Abyss.

Besides the original thirty thousand-plus Demons here, there were also all the fourth- and fifth-tier Demons and eighty thousand third-tier Demons transferred from the tenth level of the Abyss.

And commanding them was Gavin.

Now, the elite among the Demons all live in the third level of the Abyss, while the tenth level of the Abyss has become the cannon fodder layer.

Millions of "inferior Demons" and elite-level Demons live there.

An Abyss passage directly connected from the third level of the Abyss to the God Domain passage.

The several thousand Orc soldiers stationed near the God Domain passage discovered this connecting passage.

Before they could even react to what was happening, Demons began to pour out of the passage one by one.

Leading the way was Gavin, and Violent was also following behind Gavin, carrying a large black sword.

Seeing the several thousand Orc Army, Gavin did not hesitate and charged forward with his sword.

Violent followed closely behind, swinging his black greatsword with considerable skill, cutting down Orcs one by one.

The Demons and Blood Bats also quickly surrounded and annihilated the enemy. The predecessors of this group of Demons were all regular soldiers, and they were now forming formations to encircle this group of Orcs.

Soon, these several thousand Orc soldiers were forever left here.

Gavin quickly led the army through the passage, and behind them, hundreds of thousands of Worms also followed.

The Werewolf God Lord, who was observing the battle in the Abyss, noticed the large number of deaths among his believers. When he turned his gaze to the God Domain passage, his soldiers guarding the passage had already suffered heavy casualties.

Before he could make arrangements, the remaining soldiers had also been completely annihilated, and his perspective was cut off.

"Not good, this kid wants to steal the base!"

The Werewolf God Lord realized the situation was bad and quickly gathered his believers in his God Domain to prepare for the enemy.

The several thousand Orc soldiers who were originally guarding their own God Domain passage were also recalled to avoid meeting the same fate.

After Gavin led the army into the God Domain, he charged directly towards the God Domain Core.

And the Orc Army was already prepared. To avoid friendly fire, they did not place the battlefield at the God Domain Core.

Under the guidance of the Werewolf God Lord, they rushed out of the gathering area and directly met the Abyss Army.

The two armies instantly erupted into fierce combat. The Demons had no fancy moves; they were all close-quarters melee fighters.

The Orc Warriors were also experts in close combat, not fearing them at all.

However, the Blood Bats and Worms were much more insidious, seizing any opportunity to launch a barrage of attacks.

During the battle, they also had to face frequent sneak attacks from the sky and the ground, causing the Orcs' casualties to double.
