47: Chapter 47: How about I launch you onto the island?

Let's look at the generals.

[Generals: Chi You (Divine General), Xing Tian (Divine General), Nvba (Divine General), Hu Zi (Ordinary Female General).]

Aside from his own troops, there are three servants, but they are almost negligible.

The only highlight might be Yamamoto Chizuru's Tiger Warriors.

[Vassal Lord: Yamamoto Chizuru (Evil Tiger).]

[Population: 503]

[Special Unit: Tiger Warriors.]

This mother-daughter pair, Mio and Miko, basically have no combat power and can be ignored.

Since he still hadn't figured out the true strength of the Orc Chieftain, Xu Xuan ordered:

"Fill the trenches with water, prepare to crush the invading enemy. Everyone get your weapons ready, and the fletching workshop needs to forge more arrows—be quick!"

The entire Floating Island was preparing for war. The women in the fletching workshop were enduring the heat of the furnaces, working overtime to produce more arrows.

Almost all the men had gone to be soldiers, so a large portion of the fletching workshop consisted of female workers; it could truly be said that women hold up half the sky.

Amidst this fervent preparation, the enemy army gradually entered Xu Xuan's field of vision.

Sure enough, after Tokugawa Ieyasu became a traitor to humanity, he immediately rushed over with the Orc army.

Looking at the Orcs covering the mountains and plains, Xu Xuan realized that the number of these Orcs far exceeded his imagination.

The Orc Chieftain seemed to have a special buff; he could mobilize other Orc camps in the vicinity.

Along the way, the Orc Chieftain had continuously incorporated troops, actually pulling together an Orc legion of over 20,000.

Orcs are not humans; the combat power of 20,000 Orcs could rival 100,000 savages.

Faced with this terrifying number, Xu Xuan's expression grew grave; it was rare for him to show such a serious look.

"If I can wipe out this Orc troop, and my 5x reward effect is still active, wouldn't that mean..."

If anyone else saw this Orc troop, they would probably be terrified.

But Xu Xuan, who possessed the Floating Island, was thinking about how to devour this Orc legion.

20,000 Orcs was a bit difficult, but not unsolvable; it just depended on how he took them down.

Xu Xuan immediately began planning on the city wall: "Once they get close, we'll release the water first to break their formation, then fire arrows, using a kiting strategy to slowly wear down their effective strength."

Hearing Xu Xuan say this, Chi You, Xing Tian, and Nvba all expressed their agreement.

Chi You nodded and said: "These freaks that are neither demon nor beast have combat power far superior to our soldiers."

"And look closely, these beast-demons are wearing heart-protecting mirrors. Arrows won't be able to pierce their hearts in one shot; we'll just have to shoot more to bleed them out."

Xing Tian was also analyzing and sizing up the Orcs opposite them.

As for Hu Zi Mei, who was joining in the excitement nearby, she shouted excitedly: "They're here!"

They saw catapults being pushed out from the forest opposite.

But what was loaded onto the catapults wasn't stones, but... Goblins!?

They saw the Orcs throw Goblins into the catapults and immediately press launch!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Countless scrawny little green-skinned Goblins were launched into the sky by the Orcs as cannon fodder, tossed onto the Floating Island.

Good heavens!

The catapults hidden in the forest—the Orcs were actually capable of such camouflage?

Countless little green-skinned Goblins screeched as they descended from the sky, flying over the city wall and crashing onto the Floating Island.

Attempting to cause destruction behind the city wall!

At this moment, that delinquent girl Yamamoto Chizuru whistled, shouldered her bone blade greatsword, and led her Tiger Warriors to charge over, immediately slaughtering the Goblins that had flown onto the island.

Seeing this, Mio immediately organized her hundred or so savages, taking up bronze spears to hunt down those Goblins.

Both girls from the island nation were trying their best to perform, wanting to prove that they were useful to their suzerain.

Although these little green-skinned invaders flying onto the island were mortal, Goblins didn't have high combat power, so letting Chizuru and Mio wipe them out was sufficient; these little Goblins would only cause a bit of chaos on the island.

However, it was also evident that the Orcs did have some intelligence.

Knowing to capture Goblins as cannon fodder, throwing 'human bombs' at the Floating Island to have the Goblins harass him.

Seeing this, Xu Xuan waved his hand: "Ballistae, catapults, return fire!"

Don't forget, Xu Xuan had previously wiped out the Japanese Lords coalition in one fell swoop and received a massive amount of system rewards.

Among them, the number of ballistae had increased from 2 to 12, and he had also gained an additional 6 catapults.

The ballistae, with their immense power, long range, and high accuracy, were pushed onto the city wall, aiming down from a height at the enemy's catapults and beginning precise strikes.

Meanwhile, the Orc Chieftain blew his horn: "Siege ladder units, charge!!"

Thousands of Orc soldiers were seen carrying ladders, sprinting at non-human speeds, attempting to set up the siege ladders.

The enemy wanted to land, so naturally, he would counter their moves.

Xu Xuan waved his hand: "Open the floodgates, archers prepare!"

Those Orc troops were holding shields and carrying ladders.

If it were ordinary arrows, hitting their shield formations would have absolutely no effect.

But with the water released, the current immediately crushed the formations of four or five thousand enemy troops and scattered the units attempting to land.

It could be said that this method of storing and releasing water was infallible in such battles.

As the enemy's formation was crushed and countless Orc soldiers were washed off their feet by the current, the archer phalanx composed of women on the Floating Island began to fire a terrifying rain of arrows.

Arrow after arrow flew over the city wall and landed below the Floating Island.

The high-speed falling arrowheads used momentum to accelerate, piercing directly through the Orcs' chests and puncturing their lungs.

It could be said that since ancient times, fighting from a high position against a low one has always had an advantage.

Even when firing arrows, the descending arrowheads were more lethal.

In just one exchange, the Orc legion suffered heavy losses; they couldn't even get close before being soundly defeated by Xu Xuan.

They were truly routed.

Once the Orc legion was washed by the water, they couldn't stand firm at all, let alone launch an attack.

Under these circumstances, the Orc Chieftain squinted at the battle situation ahead.

"Despicable humans!! To think they occupy such a miraculous island; I must take it and make it an Orc island!!"

Seeing this, the Orc Chieftain looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Dog-man, your brain is useful; tell me, what ideas do you have?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu lowered his head and said with a fawning face: "Chieftain, you could launch yourself! You could launch the Orc warriors onto the island; wouldn't that be more convenient?"

Hearing this from Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Orc Chieftain's eyes lit up: "You're right, why didn't I think of that?"

With his strength as a Red Orc, once he boarded the island, would those weakling humans still be his match?

In the Orc Chieftain's view, human strength was all about the same as Tokugawa Ieyasu's—just a bunch of weaklings.

But before that, well.

The Orc Chieftain looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu: "I'll launch your men up first, and I'll follow right after."

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was smirking, had his smile come to an abrupt halt.

Huh?

Launching him onto the Floating Island—wasn't that like a sheep entering a tiger's den?
