43: Chapter 43 Death Notice: The Orcs Have Descended!

Xu Xuan had not slept all night, not daring to slack off, and had been monitoring the construction of the city wall.

He arranged for two shifts of men to take turns digging soil, transporting it to the back of the wooden wall via wheelbarrows, and then had the savages ram the soil solid with stones; working overtime through the night, they only managed to build a 2-meter-high and 4-meter-thick earth wall.

A 2-meter-high earth wall was already considered decent, and when added to the height of the Floating Island, the wall together with the foundation was at least six or seven meters high.

Just like that, watching the sky gradually brighten, the sun slowly rose from the horizon.

Xu Xuan, who had not slept, felt he was still full of energy; he reckoned it had to do with the attribute bonuses from his title, which meant he did not feel tired even without rest.

He stood on the earth wall, behind the wooden guardrail.

Time ticked down bit by bit until it reached 8:00 AM.

Dong!

An alarm bell rang in the minds of all lords globally.

"Congratulations to all lords for successfully surviving until 8:00 AM on the third day."

"Now is the time for the global broadcast."

"Yesterday, 3.48 million lords died under the Goblin invasion."

"60,000 female lords were abducted by Goblins, becoming Goblin slaves."

"140,000 male lords were abducted by Goblins, ending up as Goblin food."

"110,000 lords died in tribal conflicts, killed by foreign lords."

"Special report: A male lord from Florida, USA, attempted immoral acts with a wild horse, was kicked in the ribs by the wild horse, and died from his injuries."

"Second special report: A male lord from the White Elephant Country committed immoral acts with a lizard and died from a bacterial infection afterward."

"Apart from war, other causes of death will no longer be reported."

Seeing these two tough guys above, one wanting to play with horse-girls, the other wanting to play with lizardmen...

Hiss.

Xu Xuan could not help but gasp, marveling at the diversity of the human species.

The unluckiest part was that after these people died, they would be listed as special cases in the global death report, a social death following their physical death.

Xu Xuan really could not understand; with so many female savages available to keep them company, why did they have to go and play with something different?

It always felt like this daily death report was completely a compilation of silly people, a show for abnormal humans.

You don't have to live, but you must have a 'life'.

The Florida man and those from the White Elephant Country all had to pull off something extreme.

After the report came out, the billions of surviving lords could not help but laugh out loud.

The few special cases at the end of the death report were considered one of the few moments in the day when everyone could be amused.

But Xu Xuan also noticed that millions of lords had died at the hands of Goblins yesterday.

For the 8 billion lords worldwide, the death of a few million was just a drizzle.

It was just that today... today a brand new race would appear, which would likely bring even greater casualties.

After the light and pleasant death report, the lord system began to bare its fangs directly.

"Happy times are always short; today's death report has ended, and we will now announce the newly arrived race — Orcs!"

"The Orc race has joined the Lord Continent battlefield. Although they are barbaric, they possess a certain level of technology. They are strong and sturdy; the physical fitness of one Orc is equivalent to 3 adult men."

"Lords, are you ready to face the Orc storm!"

"Brand new alien race, Orc invasion!"

After the system announcement, roars began to echo across the entire Lord Continent.

One after another, spatial gates appeared, and a large number of green-skinned, burly Orcs holding battle axes stepped onto this continent.

Accompanied by the dull horn sounds of the Orcs, a large number of Orcs began to enter the camps prepared for them by the system through the portals.

In an instant, those camps made of wood began to be occupied by Orc soldiers.

It seemed that the civilization of these Orcs was not very high, as they were also wearing animal skins and leather armor, but their weapons had already evolved to the Bronze Age.

At the same time, these Orcs had also mastered technologies like catapults and bows; when they appeared, they would inevitably bring disaster to the world!

The dozen or so Orc camps around the Floating Island all focused their gazes on the location of the Floating Island.

Xu Xuan, standing on the city wall, saw the catapults set up in the distance, aiming at the Floating Island.

"Everyone, pay attention and take cover, the Orcs' catapults are coming!!"

Xu Xuan immediately gave the order, telling everyone to find cover and hide!

Only the whistling of stones could be heard as giant boulders the size of water vats fell onto the Floating Island.

Dozens of giant boulders smashed into the rock wall of the Floating Island, and Xu Xuan, on the front line, could feel a slight tremor.

Most of the boulders hit the cliffs on the periphery of the island, and a few that hit the city wall were all absorbed by the earth wall.

The earth wall was equivalent to overcoming hardness with softness; when the impact of the giant boulders hit, the kinetic energy was all absorbed by the soil.

"It seems that the earth wall I built overnight was the right choice..."

Hiding behind the earth wall, no one was injured.

It was just that those Orc strongholds below were constantly using catapults to bombard the Floating Island, which was very annoying.

Looking closely, those Orc soldiers were very robust, each one as fierce as a tiger.

One Orc soldier could fight 3 human soldiers; the physical constitution of the two sides was completely different.

But the first battle against the Orcs could earn a first-kill reward, and now all the lords worldwide knew that the first-kill reward was particularly generous.

Powerful lords were already launching attacks on the Orcs.

At this moment, the lord system also began to issue announcements.

"Global Announcement: Great Xia Lord Zhou Wu is leading three hundred allies to besiege an Orc stronghold, with hopes of taking the first kill!"

"Global Announcement: The American lord Jack is leading his Servant Army to besiege an Orc stronghold."

"Powerful lords from various countries are all joining in the siege of the Orc race!"

"After the Orc race landed, they also began to attack nearby human lords. At present, most human lords have suffered heavy losses and collapsed at the first touch!"

The lord system was broadcasting the global battle situation.

Those with ability were teaming up to encircle and suppress the Orc camps, all wanting to snatch the first kill.

But more people, in fact, collapsed the moment they engaged with the Orcs.

"[Global Chat Channel]"

"Ashina Wuxin (Dongying): I led a thousand tribal warriors to besiege three hundred Orcs, and the other side scattered my troops with one charge. How do we fight?"

"Hawk (Kangaroo Country): Holy crab! Our alliance of three thousand savages besieged a hundred-man Orc stronghold, and we still haven't taken it down. The Orc strongholds are too hard to fight."

"Ruan Fuqiang (Annan): Orc Wolf Cavalry! The Orcs have Orc Wolf Cavalry, everyone be careful!!!"

Basically, players worldwide had started crying for their parents, their mentalities shattered by the beating.

After all, most people were still in the Stone Age, and a small portion had developed bronze wares, but they were not yet mature.

When facing a primary civilization like the Orcs, it was normal to be beaten to the point of collapse.

Especially the Orc Wolf Cavalry; rushing into a group of savages was simply like cutting melons and vegetables.

Everyone was still happily fighting Goblins yesterday, but today they ran into Orcs—I play your uncle!

While the global lords were cursing and swearing, Xu Xuan revealed a strange smile.

"It seems that I can wipe out the Orc stronghold without taking any damage."
