57: Chapter 57: 5x Rewards Settlement, Immigration Wave, Martial Arts School, Divine General Card!

At the front, 100 war elephants swept through the Orc army with unstoppable force.

On both flanks, Chi You and Xing Tian each led 500 cavalry in a pincer attack; Chi You and Xing Tian took the lead, brandishing long axes from horseback to slay the Orcs.

The Orcs attempted to rally spearmen to block Chi You and Xing Tian, but with a thunderous roar from the two...

These two divine generals leapt directly from their horses, abandoning their mounts to plunge straight into the Orc ranks and begin their slaughter.

In the rear, a legion of 20,000 savage slaves, led by Jung Jae-soo, held their battle flags high; the savages at the front lines became fearless, charging like zombies, wave after wave, as savages fell and corpses piled up like mountains.

From the sky, ballistae and arrows from the Floating Island bombarded the Orc ranks without pause!

A bloody and cruel battle, a slaughter between two races with no prisoners taken!

Just like the phrase the Orcs often shouted: "Orcs will never be slaves."

Even when these Orcs fled, they showed no intention of surrendering.

One living life after another vanished, the green grass stained red with blood, until the entire earth took on an eerie dark red hue.

Watching the clash of the various armies, Xu Xuan stood on the Floating Island, overlooking the battlefield.

In that moment, he had an illusion that he was a god observing a mortal war.

And ancient warfare felt far more visually shocking and cruel than modern warfare.

In modern warfare, soldiers could fire bullets with a pull of a trigger or kill an enemy from thousands of miles away by pressing a missile launch button.

The whole process was like playing a game; one might die without you even seeing what they looked like, leaving you with no sense of guilt.

In ancient warfare, however, people were almost face-to-face in close-quarters combat.

Below the Floating Island.

Human soldiers gasped for breath in tension, able to see the green-skinned Orcs opposite them, also drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

What the two sides competed with was bloodlust and courage!

It was the solid sensation of a spear thrusting through green skin, transmitted back through the shaft.

Through the wooden shafts of their spears, the human soldiers could clearly feel the sensation of piercing enemy flesh and then forcefully pulling back.

In this close-quarters combat where every strike hit home, hot blood sprayed onto their faces as they withdrew their spears, stimulating their nerves and igniting an even more ferocious bloodlust!

As the pincer attack closed in from all sides and more Orcs fell, Xu Xuan spotted the Orc Chieftain's position.

"Orc Chieftain spotted in the center of the enemy! Ballistae and catapults, focus fire!"

With Xu Xuan's command issued, the battle to encircle and annihilate the Orcs had essentially come to a close.

The enemy leader was pinned to the ground by twelve ballista bolts, dying instantly.

Without their leader, the Orc army fell into chaos, their formation breaking apart as they were divided and eliminated by the three divine generals: Chi You, Xing Tian, and Nvba.

However, the entire process was extremely brutal; these Orcs did not surrender or beg for mercy, but fought until their very last breath.

On the front line.

Nvba stepped barefoot on the ground; she could feel the stickiness of the grass, the soil soft and saturated as if filled with water—the earth was soaked through with blood!

Her Corpse Slave legion, consisting of 10 Corpse Generals and 100 Orc Corpse Slaves, was cleaning up the battlefield, delivering finishing blows to any Orcs playing dead.

The newly joined Jung Jae-soo and his group also began to cool down, their minds clearing from the battle frenzy.

Looking at the three divine generals—Chi You, Xing Tian, and Nvba—Jung Jae-soo suddenly felt an inexplicable fear.

"Chi You, Xing Tian, Nvba... The Sect Master actually summoned the god-like figures from Daxia's history?"

"We actually tried to fight the Sect Master before... Aish, we must have been crazy."

Jung Jae-soo slapped his own face, suddenly feeling that surrendering had been a wise choice.

While the other koreans didn't know the origins of these three divine generals, Jung Jae-soo was different; he had studied abroad in Daxia and knew of these ancient figures!

At that moment, a long-legged beauty beside Jung Jae-soo stepped forward to ask, "Oppa, who are these people you're calling Chi You and Nvba? We don't understand."

"Senior Jung Jae-soo, are you saying the Sect Master's generals are all god-like beings?"

Facing the inquiries from his companions behind him, it was clear none of them recognized these ancient powerhouses of Daxia.

Jung Jae-soo turned back with a glare: "All of you, show some respect! These three... in the records, they are practically gods; they could crush us with a single finger."

"Crazy. We actually thought about bargaining."

Looking at the fools around him who had no idea of the weight these three divine generals carried.

Only Jung Jae-soo, who had studied abroad and read the historical records, realized how ignorant he had been.

While everyone was whispering, Xu Xuan's voice rang out in their minds.

[Xu Xuan: Arrange for your people to clean up these corpses. These Orc corpses are useful; they can be turned into fertilizer for our farming.]

Having become the Sect Master, Xu Xuan could transmit his voice at will, making it appear directly in their minds.

That sensation was like a heavenly god's, making these Korean lords feel a sense of trepidation.

"Yes! We will have our subordinates handle the Orc corpses immediately."

Their legion of 20,000 slaves had lost over 5,000 people in this battle, leaving them with only a little over 10,000 savages.

This showed the brutality of war; even when surrounded, the Orcs could still kill over 5,000 savages. The Orcs' combat power was indeed far higher than that of humans.

In contrast, Xu Xuan cherished his own troops more, only allowing a small number of elites to participate in the battle; with only a few hundred dead, his losses were not significant.

He then checked his current reward settlement.

[27,832 Orcs slain, 2 Orc Chieftains slain. Settle rewards now?]

Xu Xuan looked around; for now, it seemed the surrounding Orcs had basically been wiped out.

Chasing down other small, scattered Orc units would be too time-consuming and would delay his development.

There were no longer any Orc units of over a thousand appearing; chasing down units of dozens or a hundred didn't feel like it would yield much profit.

Moreover, after a day of fighting, the sky was gradually darkening; the human race was at a disadvantage in night battles, so there was no need to take risks.

After weighing his options, Xu Xuan clicked the settlement function on the screen—Settle.
