50: Chapter 50: 10 men against 20,000 beastmen – how could they possibly lose a base-trading battle!
At this moment, the first reaction for most people in the global chat channel was likely: "Ah???" "???"
The screen was almost entirely filled with question marks. In the chat channels of every country, province, and city, every lord typed out a giant question mark.
Are you kidding me, bro? No matter how powerful 10 generals might be, they aren't divine generals. Ten ordinary generals launching a counterattack against 20,000 orcs?
Everyone thought about it for three days and three nights, racking their brains, but they couldn't understand how 10 people could launch a counterattack against 20,000 orcs.
Right now, the names of the many lords across the globe who are capable of confronting orcs head-on have been pinned to the top of the screen.
In Great Xia, there is Xu Xuan and a man named Zhou Wu. Many alliances led by foreign lords are also on the front lines resisting the orcs.
Those who have been singled out are undoubtedly trading blows with the orcs and belong to the ranks of the world's top lords.
However... everyone is fighting positional warfare and tug-of-war battles.
Humanity is currently in a state of one-sided defense and taking beatings, so Xu Xuan launching a counterattack is indeed encouraging.
But sending 10 generals out to their deaths is something no one expected.
10 generals against 20,000 orcs—seeing this news, many people felt their brains shrinking.
Yet, in this very situation, Xu Xuan was already standing on the high tower of the city wall, gazing at the battle in the distance.
10 Corpse Generals were launched out by Nvba using a catapult. She didn't seem worried that these Corpse Generals would fall to their deaths at all.
At this moment, Nvba came up the stairs to Xu Xuan's side. She spoke with full confidence: "My King, please watch as my kin turn the enemy formation upside down!"
"Hmm, I still have a lot of confidence in your strength." Xu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching the distance with confidence.
The orc forces were still constantly increasing, growing from the initial ten thousand-plus to over twenty thousand.
Summoned by the Orc Chieftain, orcs from all directions were still gathering here.
The system was right; if the Orc Chieftain wasn't dealt with as soon as possible, he would be able to build an entire Orc Kingdom!
Give him a little more time, and with hundreds of thousands of orcs entrenched on this vast plain, who could possibly be their match?
Therefore, this battle must be decided quickly. The Orc Chieftain must be slain, leaving the orc tribe here without a leader.
However, the global lords were also waiting for the system's notification; they were curious how Xu Xuan's 10 people could fight 20,000? 10 fighting 20,000—was there any chance of winning? Yes!
It was the same old trick: capture the ringleader first. Let these ten Corpse Generals go and throw the enemy's main camp into chaos.
One could see the 10 Corpse Generals, launched by the catapult, slamming into the ground at incredible speed, like human bullets.
The 10 female Corpse Generals landed, kicking up a sky full of dust, right in front of the Orc Chieftain's main camp.
The Orc Chieftain raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that weakling human to launch a counterattack. But the number of people in this counterattack was a bit low, wasn't it? Only 10 people sent over?
"Ten humans coming to kill me? Heh, does that hairless monkey over there look down on me?" While speaking, the Orc Chieftain even made a provocative gesture toward Xu Xuan.
He believed that Xu Xuan dropping 10 people was an insult and a provocation to him.
But when the thick smoke dissipated and the figures of the 10 people emerged from the dust, the Orc Chieftain laughed like a pig.
"10 broads? Although I think the human race is as ugly as monkeys, these 10 broads have nice figures. I like it!" The Orc Chieftain licked his lips and let out a weird laugh.
In the eyes of the orcs, humans did not fit their aesthetic standards. As for plundering human females, for the orcs, they were just tools for sexual release.
Seeing these ten female savages wearing animal skins, the Orc Chieftain was actually quite tempted; just turn off the lights and don't look at their faces, and it would be fine.
"What does that hairless monkey mean by throwing 10 broads over here? Is he offering women to apologize to me? Does he intend to surrender?"
Facing the Orc Chieftain's insults, the 10 Corpse Generals gripped their battle-axes tightly, their expressions grim. "You dare to speak rudely to our King? Die!"
Saying this, the 10 Corpse Generals immediately charged toward the Orc Chieftain.
The Orc Chieftain was amused. He stroked his chin and said: "With just your skinny arms and legs, you dare to come and assassinate me? Courageous, but don't kill them. I want to capture them and lock them in cages."
The Orc Chieftain did not take these 10 female savages seriously. He possessed twenty thousand orc soldiers, and more tribes were coming to join him, with the number constantly increasing.
His military strength had begun to swell; why would he fear these 10 human broads? The Orc Chieftain waved his hand, telling his subordinates to go and take these 10 women. Capture them alive!
But the next moment, as soon as both sides clashed, the Orc Chieftain began to realize something was wrong. When the Orc Chieftain's personal guard rushed up, they were still emitting mocking laughter.
But when they punched these women, they felt as if they were hitting a steel plate—incredibly hard!? No way!? These women, who looked like they had smooth skin and were soft and fragrant, were they made of iron?
The Corpse General backhanded an axe swing, severing the orc's neck, opened its mouth, and drank the orc's blood in large gulps!
At the same time, some Corpse Generals pounced on the orcs, biting their necks in one go. Amidst the shouts of battle and screams, those fallen orcs began to stand up shakily. Their skin no longer appeared green, but had turned grey!
Grey orcs!? No! Orc zombies!! Corpse Slaves!
This is also why Xu Xuan said that once the dark clouds arrived, his luck would be bolstered! Corpse Slaves fear sunlight; under normal circumstances, these Corpse Generals would be, at best, unkillable cockroaches. But with dark clouds blocking the sun in the sky, the Corpse Generals could create Corpse Slaves.
Although these Corpse Slaves could also be killed, after one Corpse Slave fell, several more would climb up from the ground. The number of Corpse Slaves increased the more they fought, leaving the Orc Chieftain and the orcs dumbfounded.
"This!?" The Orc Chieftain didn't expect that these 10 human broads all had fangs. Each one seemed to have cultivated the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt techniques; axe strikes only left shallow wounds, and after they casually took a gulp of blood, the wounds on their bodies healed.
With this going on, the entire orc main camp fell into chaos. "Can't kill them, these humans can't be killed!" "They are chasing us and biting us, are they crazy? Who exactly is the orc here?" "This is the Undead, this is the Scourge Legion! Too scary, too terrifying!!"
Some orcs mistook the zombies for the Undead from a magic continent, thinking the Scourge Legion had descended. However... if it were the full-form, peak-era Nvba corpse people, they would be much more badass than the Scourge Legion.
Seeing the main camp plunged into chaos, the Orc Chieftain frowned. "Damn it, why can't these things be killed off? Then..."
The Orc Chieftain looked toward the distant Floating Island. That Tokugawa Ieyasu was right; capture the ringleader first. "Someone, prepare the catapult! I'm going to lead my elites and go to the island personally!"
This Orc Chieftain believed that the 10 Corpse Generals were Xu Xuan's elites. Since Xu Xuan had dispatched his elites, his side must be defenseless. To use a phrase orcs loved most—how could we lose a base trade!
Xu Xuan air-dropped 10 Corpse Generals to fight him, so he would go and settle the score with Xu Xuan personally! This naive Orc Chieftain just sat on the catapult like that.
