49: Chapter 49 rewards one hundred elephant soldiers; the chosen one of destiny possesses him.
After piercing Tokugawa Ieyasu with a bronze spear, a line of text appeared before Xu Xuan's eyes.
[You have slain the human traitor Tokugawa Ieyasu who surrendered to the Orcs, and received a troop reward — one hundred Elephant Warriors!]
Elephant Warriors?! Seeing this, Xu Xuan's eyes lit up.
In ancient warfare, Elephant Warriors were an invincible force.
According to historical records, soldiers of the Yin-Shang Dynasty liked to control elephants to wage war against the Dongyi people.
Especially in the ancient Central Plains, which is now Henan, known as Yuzhou in ancient times; "Yu" carries the meaning of elephant.
This indicates that many wild Asian elephants lived in the Central Plains during ancient times.
Historical books record that those Elephant Warriors completely crushed the Dongyi people.
In this era of cold weapons and low magic, the combat power of elephants is absolutely terrifying.
From what we can see so far, Nvba's Corpse Slaves and the Orcs' beast blood all count as low-level spells.
Spells are just like technology; they don't start off with some primordial power where everyone is a primordial god.
Clearly, if these people want to master spells, they have to do it step by step, much like unlocking technology.
Currently, there are two paths for lords.
One is the technology path, which eventually leads to airplanes, cannons, spaceships, and star destroyers.
The other path is the immortal art and spell path, which eventually leads to abilities like those in myths and legends.
Judging by the current state of the lord system, it seems to have no restrictions.
In other words, one can walk both the technology and spell paths simultaneously, allowing science and magic to coexist.
While Xu Xuan was thinking, the system prompted again: [Do you want to immediately claim 100 Elephant Warriors? You may also choose not to claim this reward for now (it will be stored in the reward space for a maximum of 7 days).]
This system prompt made Xu Xuan pause for a moment of thought.
Elephants have an astonishing appetite and consume a lot of food.
For now, he could store these elephants in the reward space, and if needed, releasing them suddenly would surely give the enemy a big surprise.
"100 elephants, store in the reward space for now."
After tapping the virtual screen, Xu Xuan looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had only half a breath left.
His vitality was rapidly fading, and it was basically impossible for him to survive.
At this very moment, Mio walked up quickly, bringing Mrs. Yoshiko with her.
Seeing his wife and daughter running over, the dying Tokugawa Ieyasu felt a warmth in his heart: "Wife... daughter, are you... are you here to save me?"
Before Tokugawa Ieyasu could finish speaking, Mio gripped the spear in her hand tightly and stabbed Tokugawa Ieyasu again, accelerating his life's end.
"I don't have a father like you. You abandoned your wife and daughter, and in the end, you defected to the Orcs, being led around like a dog on a global livestream. You are simply our disgrace!"
Stabbed by his daughter, Tokugawa Ieyasu coughed up large mouthfuls of blood: "No... I was just..."
Tokugawa Ieyasu pinned his hope of survival on his wife; he looked at the curvaceous, ponytail-wearing housewife.
"Honey, save... me."
Seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu reach out to beg for help, this full-time housewife covered her face with a troubled expression.
"Tokugawa-san, you are making this very difficult for me. I no longer intend to be your wife. The whole world knows that you became a dog for the Orcs."
As she spoke, Mrs. Yoshiko hid behind Xu Xuan: "Fortunately, the Sect Master took us in, otherwise we would probably have been offered to those Orcs by you."
A wife truly knows her husband best. Given Tokugawa Ieyasu's nature, if he encountered Orcs...
It is very possible he would have offered the mother and daughter to those Orcs who reeked of an unpleasant odor. If they were caught by the Orcs, their fair and tender appearances would likely be ravaged by the Orcs until they were unrecognizable.
The Orcs were tall and burly, each filled with restless energy, as if they were a herd of bulls in heat.
If human women fell into the hands of Orcs, the consequences would be terrifying.
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked around and saw no one reaching out to help. He had abandoned his wife, daughter, and companions, and in the end, he suffered the fate of being betrayed and forsaken by all.
Shortly after Tokugawa Ieyasu was slain, the Orcs sounded the horn of attack.
Xing Tian, standing on the city wall, shouted: "Your Majesty, the Orcs' siege ladders are here!!"
He saw Orcs surrounding from all directions, carrying ladders and attempting to board the Floating Island.
Although the Floating Island was moving, it was only at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
As long as there was a hook on the ladder, the Orcs could steadily board the Floating Island.
The Orcs below scrambled to jump onto the siege ladders, but as they climbed up, they were immediately besieged by a dozen spears and forcibly stabbed down.
However, the Orc troops kept chasing the moving Floating Island, propping up more siege ladders. From the west and south, more and more Orc soldiers were climbing up the wall.
Currently, with Chi You and Xing Tian holding the line, the front was still very stable.
But if they continued to let this drag on, the risk would be very high.
More and more Orcs were climbing onto the city wall. Chi You and Xing Tian were fighting in a bloodbath, completely like two tireless war machines.
However, the savage soldiers were not up to it; they were not divine generals and could not be as invincible as Chi You and Xing Tian.
Just then, a patch of dark clouds suddenly drifted across the sky, blocking the sun.
Seeing this scene, Xu Xuan's spirits lifted: "Heaven really is helping me, possessed by the Son of Luck."
Once the dark clouds came, he would have a new tactic to use.
"Nvba!"
"Your servant is here!"
Nvba, the white-haired, green-robed, ethereal female general, strode before Xu Xuan.
"Do you see that Orc Chieftain? Release the Corpse Slaves, create Corpse Slaves!"
"As you command!"
Nvba raised her hand, her long sleeves fluttering, bowed, lowered her head, and slowly retreated.
She turned around, shook a bell, and summoned the ten Corpse Slaves she had created.
While they were called Corpse Slaves, they could also be called Corpse Generals!
It was just that all ten of these Corpse Generals were women.
If you ask why?
Because Nvba did not like to drink men's blood, she found ten bronze-skinned female savages and converted them into immortal beings.
The ten Corpse Generals held two bronze battle axes each; in the early age of magic, possessing an immortal body was already considered top-tier.
"You all, get on the catapults, prepare to be launched into the Orc Chieftain's camp."
"Yes!"
The ten Corpse Generals did not hesitate; they jumped directly onto the catapults, ready to let the catapults launch them out.
Meanwhile, a global announcement rang out.
[Global Announcement: More than one hundred Orc Chieftains have currently appeared on the Lord Continent. Lords, please slay them as soon as possible. If the Orc Chieftains are allowed to evolve, an irreversible situation will occur.]
[Those currently engaged in battle with Orc lords include Xu Xuan of Great Xia, Zhou Wu of Great Xia, Park De-jeong of South Korea, Jack of the United States, Miyamoto Takeshi of Japan, Ivanov of Russia, Marcus of France, Himmler of Prussia...]
[Global Announcement: A human lord has taken the initiative to counterattack!]
Hearing this news, all human lords were invigorated!
But the next system announcement left everyone stunned.
[Xu Xuan of Great Xia has ordered 10 generals to launch a counterattack against 20,000 Orcs!]
Wait a minute?
10 generals against 20,000 Orcs?
Huh?
