Chapter 739 - Arise!
The sun slowly set on one side of the valley. The blood-red sunlight seemed to put a blood-colored thin carpet on the previously jade-green valley.
“Roar-!” A ferocious roar rose.
“Mr. Dirk!” With a furious roar, the old orc king broke away from the generals who tried to drag him away, and he shouted, “Guys, we have no way out.”
“We’ll only survive a few more days by using the terrain advantage of the valley.” The orc king’s face was concealed by his silver mask, but his ancient voice sounded strong and firm. “Our orc soldiers would rather shed blood on the ground than leave their comrades to hold off the enemies alone and escape on their own!”
“I’d rather die in battle than live in shame!”
“Our strength comes from blood and thunder; our strength will turn into fire of fury and death!”
“We’re… fearless!” The old orc raised his huge sword high, facing the ocean-like Shadow Legion which had sealed up all the exits of the valley.
“We’re fearless!” The rest of the orcs also raised their weapons.
“A bunch of… morons.” With a furious roar, Mr. Dirk somehow struggled out of the hand of shadow.
Instead of retreating, all the orcs charged toward the Shadow Legion before them!
In the green valley, the small group of orcs cut into the shadow like a sharp long knife!
“Combat technique – Concentration of Will.” While holding his huge sword, Mr. Dirk let out a low roar and then thrusted it outward.
An invisible surge of essence rushed out with the huge sword like a cannon ball.
Boom!
The trees in the valley collapsed, and more than ten meters of plants on the ground were razed. The soldiers of Shadow Legion were sent flying for dozens of meters, piling up into a small hill.
Soon, many soldiers swarmed up again in a dense troop.
“War Stomp-!” The bull-headed man beside Mr. Dirk roared in fury and stomped forward with vicious force.
The land cracked and sank before being pushed around. Then, a horrifying shock wave swept across everything with the violent quake of the ground.
Countless soldiers fell, but more swarmed up.
In the sky, the knights of the Shadow Legion riding ferocious huge black birds shot down like meteorites as their long spears stabbed with the vicious downward momentum.
Dozens of knights pierced forward one by one like a black meteor shower!
“Bothersome!” The old orc king raised his huge sword. With a shake of his hand, his huge sword which was thicker than a gate pillar transformed into hundreds of sword shadows!
The sword was only about two meters long, but its blade now looked like a group of mountains that were hundreds of meters high!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The knights who were still charging in the sky were turned into a blood shower in the blink of an eye!
But at this moment, a weak whistling sound came!
Puchi! A pitch-black long spear from an unknown place shot through the armor and pierced the old orc king’s shoulder!
The old orc stumbled a few steps and barely managed to remain standing by putting his weight on his sword.
Cold sweat slid down his cheeks beneath the mask.
No one could see his face beneath the mask, but it was obvious that his face was twitching in pain.
“Can’t fall; I can’t fall!” Seeing the elite warriors of the Orc Kingdom falling one by one around him, the old orc king’s heart was bleeding.
“You must all die here since you’re a bunch of morons!” The distorted voice said. Black mist condensed in the air and transformed into a pitch-black cloak which revealed only half of the gloomy and distorted face beneath the hood. “Then, I’ll kill your people one by one until they beg for mercy in fear!
“Then, I’ll see if you’re still so brave!”
Then, his long spear shot across the sky with sharp ear-piercing whistles, and more knights dashed down from the sky like many shooting stars.
When the last bit of the sun disappeared, the sky turned even darker.
In the future, these orcs would only have a vague memory of this day.
“That day, we were plunged into darkness and despair; we tried our best to fight but still failed.”
“Our eyelids felt heavier and heavier, and our hands couldn’t hold the swords anymore. Our bodies felt as heavy as lead…”
“From light… to darkness, from darkness… we seemed to see the pale golden dawn light in the distant east.”
“We seemed to hear someone calling out our names.”
“I’m not willing to fall… wouldn’t…”
In the beautiful Jade Valley covered in vibrant green plants, there were only the last few orcs. Some of them stood over countless corpses. They were surrounded by enemies, looking as if they were deep in sleep.
Some leaned on their huge swords and panted heavily as if they couldn’t remain standing any longer.
…
“Kill them!” The gloomy figure hovering in the air said.
At this moment, a voice suddenly yelled, “There are people here!”
Then, a figure landed.
Then, with a white flash, several mages suddenly appeared.
Everyone froze.
Then, herds of soldiers of the Shadow Legion surrounded the invaders.
“Are you here to beg me to release the remaining orcs?” Hovering in the air, the non-human existence gazed at the ordinary-looking young man coldly.
Mr. Fang’s face darkened.
“Do you know who we are?!”
“I don’t need to know who you are,” Mr. Fang said.
“Huh?” Hovering in the air, the figure, that emitted a presence more powerful than that of a demon, froze again.
“You guys affected the business of my shop.”
“Hahahaha!” Demon Spirit Sal laughed wildly. “I thought you would say that you’re here to avenge them. What business in your shop? Are you nuts?”
“It seems like you overestimated yourself.” Even Helen, the earliest customer of the shop, hadn’t seen Mr. Fang’s face so dark and cold before. “We don’t hold grudge against each other; I don’t need to avenge anyone.”
“Aren’t you angry that I killed them? Aren’t you here to save them?” The figure concealed in the black cloak stuck out a withered claw, and it asked in a cold voice as it pointed its claw at Fang Qi.
“Yes.”
“Can we… really do it?” On the other side, paladins and priest players such as Commander Elven, Helen, and Dicas walked up and stood before the orcs. Each of them had a Symbol of Life in their hands.
“What are you doing?” Sal finally looked suspicious.
“Redemption!”
“!!??” Either from incomprehension or stupefaction, that existence didn’t attack. Instead, it watched as the Symbols of Light released the force of Holy Light.
The warm light felt like the morning sun in the bitter cold winter.
“Arise!”
Demon Spirit Sal and all the soldiers of Shadow Legion saw beam after beam of golden light fell from the sky.
Then, they saw the most unforgettable, astonishing, and incredible scene in their lives.
The orcs who had stopped breathing long ago suddenly moved their eyelids.
Bathed in the golden lights, they looked as if they were woken up from sleep. With a shiver, they all slowly got up.
Then, the fatal wounds in their bodies began to heal with visible speed.
“How can it…be?!” Almost everyone let out horrified shouted.
They had been killed; how can they come back to life?!
This went beyond their understanding!
Even the caster of Redemption such as Helen and Dicas widened their eyes and covered their mouths in astonishment. The elves, who had braced themselves for this scene, still froze at the scene.
Then, tears uncontrollably gushed out of these people’s eyes as they were touched with heart-felt gratitude. At this moment, they acutely felt the greatness of life.
Seeing the orcs’ confused looks, pure smiles appeared on the faces of these paladins and priests.
From now on, they embarked on a holy path without any regrets.
In the green valley which had been dyed blood-red by mountains of corpses, the butchers of Shadow Legion had never seen such heart-felt smiles.
Standing in the Orc Kingdom which had been turned into ruins of destruction, these people had tears in their eyes since they found people they could resurrect one after another.
…
“How can it be?!”
“How can it be?! How could they come back to life?!”
“Kill… kill them all!” After a long while of silence, mad roars suddenly rose in the valley.
