Chapter 652 - An Accident? (2/2)

“What’s going on?”

Not only Lize, but Joey, Randolf, and Sol’s group also sensed that something was amiss. The group thought that John’s Cavalrymen were just delayed, but now, the situation seemed to be worse. No matter the soldiers or mercenaries, all of them were particular about luck. Even though they had been trained toughly in the mirage, this was their first actual battle, after all. They wished for a good beginning that would result in successful results, where everyone coordinated well and they could delightfully slaughter the enemies. This way, not only could they be victorious, but they would also be confident in Rhode’s risky battle tactic. But now, John’s Cavalrymen who should be providing reinforcements from the rear didn’t turn up and that left everyone worried. At this moment, John’s close to 100 Cavalrymen was their biggest support and only they had true battle strength. Could it be that we have to face the 600 Orcs ourselves? They are 10 times larger in forces than us!

“Calm down. Look at your panicky selves. Accidents do happen on the battlefield and you guys should be aware of this. Now, stay calm and go according to plan.”Read the next chapter on our novelhall.com

Although Rhode’s voice wasn’t loud, his strong words rang in everyone’s ears. The wavering group felt a chill down their spines. Then, they calmed their frantic minds. Yeah. Why did we forget that Sir Rhode is around? Most of the mercenaries had fought alongside Rhode in the past and they had witnessed the miracles that he had created. The terrifying Undead Creatures failed to threaten him at all, so what could these Orcs do?

However, Rhode wasn’t simply rooting for his subordinates. If a few words of encouragement from him could calm them down and make them risk their lives against the enemies, he would rather shoot his mouth off to the enemies to make them bow their heads to the ground. Even though Rhode was rather dissatisfied that John didn’t appear in the stipulated time, he knew that John definitely wouldn’t comply in appearance and oppose in heart. Although John had objected to his views, he was confident that John wouldn’t purposely hold him back. Some problems must have happened, which was why John hadn’t appeared yet. But now, Rhode didn’t have the time to consider this problem. He would need to readjust his tactic.

“Joey, have you done what I asked?”

“All done, Boss. The traps have been set up completely and I guarantee that none of them will be spared!”

Joey gestured hurriedly while Rhode nodded and turned to the group.

“Randolf, lead your men to both sides of the fort wall and continue to attack the Orcs. Sol and Marfa shall stay behind the fort walls. As for the remaining Orcs…”

Rhode swung his hand with might and a pitch-black sword emerged in his hand.

“Leave them to me.”

“Yes, Boss!”

The group found their pillar of support after hearing those words. Everyone apart from the Half-Demons had witnessed Rhode’s formidable strength. Moreover, Rhode could also summon powerful presences to battle for his behalf and he alone could take on a team of soldiers.

Shortly after, the group withdrew from the fort walls and this was a sign of weakness in Bobo’s eyes. As expected, these Humans lack the brave spirits of the Orc. Just look at them. Running away after facing some resistance. How weak!

“Attack! Kill the scheming, hateful Humans!”

Bobo’s tribesmen lifted their arms and yelled fiercely. Then, they charged toward the broken fort entrance.

However, at the next moment, a series of dazzling flashes blinded his eyes. The earth shook to a loud explosion and a huge blaze rushed into the sky while engulfing the Orcs.

“Argh!”

The powerful air stream struck Bobo head-on and he fell heavily on the ground. When he lifted his head, the scene before his eyes left him stunned.

The fort walls had completely crumbled. The corpses of his fellow tribesmen laid in a pool of blood everywhere. The 200 Orc riders who led the charge lost their lives in this sudden explosion. Not only that, but the crumbled walls had also buried their only path and they no longer had any other ways to enter the fort.

Facing continuous setbacks, the Orc riders had lost their courage. Their morale fell drastically after John’s Cavalrymen had fooled them previously. And now, they hadn’t even touched a single hair on the Humans and they had lost almost half of their tribe. Even though they still had 300 tribesmen around and were still far advantageous against the Humans in numbers, the Orcs had grown timid. They came to an abrupt halt and paced about hesitantly. These Humans are too cunning and terrifying. We haven’t even taken a good look at their faces and so many of us have died. If this continues…

“What are you guys doing?!”

Bobo turned around and saw his tribesmen coming to a halt. He berated and pointed forward.

“Humans! Scheming! We must kill them! We, warriors, will not back down! Our tribesmen and children are inside! Kill the Humans!”

The hesitant Orcs raved fiercely to Bobo’s words. They urged on their Rhino Beast and charged toward the fort with all their might. And now, they were getting closer and closer to the fort!

At this moment, they spotted a dark shadow leaping down from the fort wall. Then, a dazzling spiritual blade ray erupted and enveloped the Orcs like a wild rainstorm.

Rhode had struck!
