Chapter 832 The Witches’ Plan
Sadly, while the orc commander’s idea was good, he had tragically run into Greem and the adepts.
With their surprising number of eyeball machines, the battlefield was practically transparent to them!
It didn’t matter how perfectly the orc wolfriders and warriors had hidden. They could not possibly hide from the life sensors of the eyeball machines. They were a large cluster of blinding red dots hidden in the forest and the plains. Unless the commander of the magical machine army was a blind man, there was no way he wouldn’t have seen this.
The traps that the orcs had prepared ahead of time were laughably childish once they were aware of it!
The orcs could only attempt to use strategy to make up for the difference in military might. However, these orcs were single-minded barbarians who only knew how to brave a storm of attacks and rush to the enemy’s side. They didn’t seem to have much strategy or tactics to speak of.
Consequently, the battle of Andorhal once again proved the might of the adepts and the superficial strength of the orc tribes.
Any individual in the orc army would be an excellent soldier, be it in terms of Physique or combat ability; they were leagues above human soldiers. Unfortunately, the weak and the strong were reversed when they were dealing with the magical machine army of the adepts who had invaded their world.
With the crude healthcare system of Strongwoods Plane and their pathetically low numbers of shamans, treating the orcs and avoiding this calamity was no more than wishful thinking.
The civilization of the World of Adepts clashed with the civilization of Strongwoods Plane, and it ended in an overwhelming beatdown. If the Beast God hadn’t been backing the orcs, then the Northern Witches would have easily made the Strongwoods orcs submit, turning them into a source of slaves for the witches.
However, now, the witches were trying to forcefully destroy the plane to establish dominance and make an example out of their enemies. Every single lifeform living in Strongwoods Plane would experience an inescapable calamity in one month, turning into one of countless vengeful spirits across the universe.
As for how to destroy a plane? Greem only had vague ideas of how to do so. He knew that one had to destroy the plane’s planar origins. However, he had no clue about the specifics. That was a secret closely guarded by the high-grade witches, and Greem had no chance of gaining such knowledge.
Either way, it definitely had something to do with the blood ceremony the Death Witches were currently preparing in Witherwater City!
As the witches did an excellent job of keeping their secrets, the Orc Empire had yet to realize their abnormal actions. They simply continued to amass forces and prepared to contact the Beast God for a final push to expel the evil witches, much in accordance with the typical flow of planar invasions.
How could these foolish orcs possibly know that the witches weren’t even here to conquer them? They were here to destroy them!
The witches out on missions took advantage of the orcs’ hesitation and struck everywhere, destroying all their cities and temples within five hundred kilometers of Witherwater City. This way, the orc army would first have to deal with this five hundred kilometer of no man’s land and a terrifying plague zone, even if they managed to push back against the witches.
This move alone allowed the witches to turn the gathering orc army into a useless force.
It seemed the Orc Empire had no other means to stop the Northern Witches now, apart from gathering all of their orc powerhouses into a formidable strike force. Only these orcs of Second Grade and above could pass through the plague zone and arrive safely at Witherwater City.
Ordinary orcs would die by the number without any hopes of even reaching the city walls.
After destroying the three orc cities and Beast God temples, Greem unhesitatingly led his magical machine army back to Witherwater City. He couldn’t wait to arrive and look at the preparations of the Death Witches.
How exactly were they going to achieve the destruction of an entire plane?
After eleven days, the magical machine army led by Greem was the first to return to Witherwater City. Their results in battle were so glorious that they obtained a personal audience with Death Witch Leader Khesuna.
There, inside the city, in a vast orc council hall, Greem and Alice met the Fourth Grade witch who they had not seen in a long time!
