54: Chapter 54: Not until the coffin is in sight, the war elephants launch their attack!

Jung Jae-soo's alliance was considered a top 100 existence in South Korea.

Facing the orc attack, they also relied on favorable terrain to build defensive fortifications.

But the orcs' strength was even greater than they had imagined, resulting in their 20,000 wildmen being surrounded by 10,000 orcs.

In this moment of despair, a magical island floated over from the horizon.

When he looked closely, lord information appeared above the Floating Island.

[Floating Kingdom]

[Lord: Xu Xuan]

[Global Ranking: Lone Wolf Lord, First Place.]

[Titles: primitive conqueror, prehistoric tyrant, Prehistoric God of Slaughter, Lonely King, Orc Butcher.]

Just...

Just this long string of titles had already made Jung Jae-soo feel fear.

The other lords still foolishly thought reinforcements had arrived, but only Jung Jae-soo realized the gravity of the situation.

This man!

This Great Xia man!

Jung Jae-soo's body trembled as he shouted to those around him, "He's not reinforcements! Not reinforcements! He's not reinforcements!!"

He used his roar to wake the other lords under his command.

Are you joking?

Did you see the titles hovering over that granddaddy's head?

That's no philanthropist; this guy is a war maniac.

But even though he realized Xu Xuan was no saint, what could he do?

They were currently surrounded here by 10,000 orcs; once Xu Xuan finished killing the orcs, it would be their turn.

Thinking of this, Jung Jae-soo looked at the others and proposed, "We have to find a way to contact the orc chieftain. Only by joining forces can we defeat Xu Xuan."

"Quick! Have the wildmen stop firing arrows! Raise the white flag and show goodwill to the orcs!"

This man had a very good head on his shoulders; he knew that if they didn't team up with the orcs, they would be wiped out by Xu Xuan together.

Jung Jae-soo's idea was good, but in such a chaotic situation, they wanted to team up with the orcs?

At this moment, standing on the watchtower of the Floating Island, Xu Xuan and Hu Zi Mei were almost pressed against each other.

He was watching the movements of the entire battlefield very calmly and noticed something.

Those South Korean lords inside were raising white flags?

From high on the tower, Xu Xuan realized what was happening immediately: "Wanting to team up with the orcs? A bit of an idea, but not much."

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan raised his hand and summoned the [Nearby Chat Channel].

[Xu Xuan (Great Xia): Don't make pointless struggles. I'll give you one chance: become my vassals.]

If he could take these 20,000 as vassals, he could further expand his territory and have more people farming for him.

Then he could set aside his worries and focus on plundering.

In short, as long as they could be taken in as dogs, he would give it a try.

[Jung Jae-soo (South Korea): Your Excellency must be joking. We have 20,000 troops and dozens of lords; you want us to be your vassals?]

[Xu Xuan (Great Xia): Fine. Since you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, I'll turn up the heat for you.]

Seeing Xu Xuan say this, Jung Jae-soo frowned deeply: "He wants to turn up the heat? We must hurry and contact the orcs, joining forces with them to resist Xu Xuan."

At this time, another lord ran over excitedly.

"Boss! We've made contact! The orcs are about to send a representative to discuss joining forces."

Hearing his subordinate say this, Jung Jae-soo clenched his fist: "Very good, everything is going according to plan. We must first join forces with the orcs to destroy Xu Xuan, then consider how to deal with the orcs."

Just as they were excitedly discussing their plan, Jung Jae-soo suddenly looked up: "Do you hear that? What's that sound?"

Inside the animal skin tent, everyone seemed to hear something.

The next moment, a ballista bolt as thick as an arm pierced through the animal skin tent, pinning a lord directly to the ground.

Arrows have no eyes; they don't care if you're a lord or a wildman, or whether you're male or female.

After the first bolt flew in, eleven more followed in quick succession, tearing the entire animal skin tent to shreds.

Among the South Korean lords holding the meeting inside, six were pinned to the ground by the bolts on the spot.

The scene instantly turned into a living hell; beautiful girls with long legs and handsome men with eight-pack abs were all equal before the ballista.

Among these lords were models, beautiful streamers, and fitness coaches.

But now, they were nothing more than warm corpses pinned to the ground.

Hot blood sprayed onto Jung Jae-soo's face. As he watched a beautiful woman being pierced by a bolt, a sense of terror rose in his heart.

"Quick! Scatter! That guy is actually attacking us directly! Aish, that lunatic!"

Jung Jae-soo was terrified to the extreme. He hadn't expected Xu Xuan to be such a ruthless person who would directly kill lords; he had underestimated the weight of the world's number one Lone Wolf Lord.

From the watchtower, Xu Xuan looked at the torn animal skin tent in the distance and curled his lips: "The Floating Island has the advantage of height. Did you really think hiding in the middle would prevent you from being hit by the ballistae?"

A Floating Island and ballistae—they were a perfect match.

Xu Xuan even felt that he should put more productivity into ballistae, setting up a ballista workshop and installing one on every section of the city walls.

Watching the South Korean lords fleeing in all directions within the enemy camp...

Xu Xuan curled his lips: "Did you really think this was my only means of attack?"

"Hu Zi Mei, go and select 300 warriors: 100 spearmen, 100 archers, and 100 elephant riders. I'm going to give you a war elephant unit."

"Got it!"

The wildwoman nimbly slid down the ladder and immediately selected 300 warriors from among the soldiers.

Under Xu Xuan's command, Hu Zi Mei led them off the Floating Island.

The simple-minded girl even curiously asked via Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission, "Great King, where are the elephants? Where are they?"

With a wave of his hand, Xu Xuan opened his Reward Space.

The 100 war elephants previously stored in the space were all released by him now.

The trumpeting of elephants came from the forest behind. A group of war elephants clad in armor and carrying towers on their backs came marching out of the forest in a grand procession.

These war elephants were even larger than Xu Xuan had imagined, with two long tusks. With every step the herd took—thump, thump—it felt as if they were stepping directly on everyone's hearts.

Watching these behemoths approach, Hu Zi Mei's heart raced.

"Great King, they're so big!!!"

Xu Xuan chuckled. "Stop marveling and get your people on them. Use the war elephants to drive the orcs away!"

By summoning the war elephants now, Xu Xuan was applying extreme pressure.

Because elephant soldiers had a passive skill—Intimidate.

Even those as strong as orcs, who were fearless of death...

...their morale would collapse before giant elephants.

Who would just stand there and watch as an elephant walked over to trample them to death?

Knowing it meant certain death, most soldiers would find it impossible to maintain their formation in the face of an elephant charge.

Hu Zi Mei was seen leading her people onto the elephants. At this moment, she waved her hand high-spiritedly: "Follow the Great King's orders! Adopt the strategy of driving a flock of sheep!!!"

"Yes!"

The 100 war elephants began to march majestically toward the orc units.

Looking down from the Floating Island, one could see those green-skinned orcs being driven bit by bit by his elephant soldiers. The panicked orcs began to turn around and charge into Jung Jae-soo's camp.
