Marcus looked up at the orcs in front of Xiao Yu standing on the wall.

“Are you the leader who led these orcs to attack my camp?” Marcus calmed down and asked in a cold tone.

Xiao Yu raised his chin and gently coughed. He replied: “Yes. I am Xiao Yu, the lord of the territory. You have made a camp in my territory; this is enough of a reason to kill you all! Now, I’ll give you a minute to kneel down and surrender. Otherwise, you will all become food for my warriors.”

“Lion Town’s Lord? I don’t even care about the Emperor of the Sky Lion Dynasty! Do you think that you will be able to beat us with just a group of orcs? What a joke! I will cut off the heads of a few orcs and use them as ornaments!” Marcus snorted. He was initially shocked because of the sudden attack, but he was now completely calm and fearlessly facing Xiao Yu’s orc warriors.

It was an old tradition to cut the head of an orc. Many children from the noble families would go to mountains to hunt an orc and hang its head on the wall of their house as a decoration. This demonstrated their courage to outsiders and won their respect.

Many people nowadays still traveled to the mountains to kill orcs to get glory and status. However, orcs had gone extinct and very few people were able to find one.

The other bandits also calmed down after their leader came out. The more than 2000 bandits formed a basic formation about 100 meters away from the gates.

The bandits were able to quickly deal with the fires and flames at the rear of their camp. From this rapid reaction, it was possible to see that this gang of bandits were not inferior to a regular army. Nevertheless, it didn’t mean that they were equal to Xiao Yu’s grunts, elves, and dwarves present on the battlefield. More than 600 bandits died in a moment of chaos; they hadn’t noticed this yet because of the sudden appearance of the orcs

Xiao Yu continued: “Do you think that you will be able to beat my army of orcs? Keep dreaming! I’m here because I’m sure that I’ll be able to kill all of you! By the way, I am a man and was born by my mother. A beast, too, is born by its own mother. I look at you and see that you are uglier than even an orc! Are you the result of a man and a beast getting together?”

“Ah!!!…. You bastard!” Marcus turned furious when he heard Xiao Yu’s abuse. He waved: “Soldiers with shield go in front! Kill the orcs and leave that bastard to me!”

Marcus was almost two meters tall and had a big build. He wasn’t any inferior to a grunt. He was bald and had a rough face with lots of scars. He was ugly. Xiao Yu’s intention, to begin with, was to make him angry. It was a psychological tactic used by Xiao Yu. He was already occupying best terrain in the field and had to make the enemy to attack one way or other.

So… he used this petty trick to anger the leader of the enemy. If the enemy side calmed down and saw that attacking Xiao Yu would be disadvantageous then they may change their strategy and defend.

He didn’t want them to see through his own formation; if they did so he would lose.

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and laughed when he saw that the trick worked.

Kill~~

Argh~~

Both sides shouted and roared to boost their morale. Although the number of orcs was much less than that of the enemy, the echo of their roars was much stronger.

Marcus pulled out his sword. A yellow battle energy wrapped itself around his sword. He rushed out and jumped up towards the wall. Marcus’s aim was to kill Xiao Yu.

To capture the thieves, you had to capture the king of the thieves first. Marcus understood this strategy.

But he found out that another strong battle energy slashed towards him.

Marcus was surprised as he waved his sword to block the attack.

Boom~

Two battle energies collided and a loud noise echoed out as a result of the impact. Both men backed off. Marcus stood still as he looked at his opponent. It was an orc 2.5 or 2.6 meters tall who held a giant sword.

“A strong orc warrior… Since when can beasts can cultivate battle energy?” Marcus was slightly surprised. The humans were different from beasts as they could cultivate battle energy and use magic.

It was naturally Grom who had stopped Marcus. Grom’s Omnislash had reached level 4.

Marcus was a second-rank warrior. While Grom was inferior to Marcus in strength, hewas able to parry Marcus’ attack with the aid of his skills.
