Rise of the Horde

Xiao Chen fearlessly charged forward and plunged himself into the ranks of the goblins. Even if he would flail his weapon around, he was bound to hit something or someone. The goblins were no big deal even if you were a human and their threat level is very low and since he is now an orc; they were not much to the innate strength that he now wields. But dealing with hundreds or thousands of goblins at the same time while alone was an entirely different matter.

Alone or in small groups, goblins are easy to deal with, but when they form into swarms of thousands, even the bravest and strongest warrior had no other choice but to turn tail. But Xiao Chen wasn't alone. There were two powerful fighters just a few paces away from him who are dealing with the ones that he missed. And hundreds of armored orcs with towering shields were pushing forward just a few paces to his rear and felling down any of the goblins who were in their path.

Their foes were notorious for their ambushes and sneak attacks, but they have a weak morale when things go south. Most of the time,they would quickly flee away from battle if you fell enough of them.

"Hmmmm... You fight well despite being a human... And it seems those melons of yours aren't impeding your ability to fight." Draegh'ana commented as he glance towards Adhalia who was raining down stabs on her now prey. The female human strike at every possible place that she can, head, chest, arms, legs, stomach, heck she even stabs her foes from behind and on their private areas. Adhalia glanced at the female orc. "And you are as violent as always." She muttered as she charged at her new target.

Not willing to be outdone by the female human, Draegh'ana impaled her swords on the ground and decided to call on to her other summons as Aquila was still on the hunt and aiding the Rakshas at the center of their battle-line.

"Spirits guide me, lend me your power, and bring forth what I desire. The ground, the rocks and, with the aid of the stars, bring forth thy creature that I request. Descend and show them your might, Great Bear." Draegh'ana muttered as she focused her mana on her hands, creating a magic circle on the ground. Soil and rocks started rising and became a mound. Slowly, the rocks and soil started forming the figure of a bear. The Great Bear that Draegh'ana named Ulfrus roared towards the sky to announce its presence.

"Spirits guide me, lend me your power, and bring forth what I desire. The wild plains and with the aid of the stars, bring forth thy creature that I request. Descend and let them witnessed your speed, Kaprihkhorn." Draegh'ana had her hands on the ground once again as she called on her last summon that she could call upon. "What are your orders, meh master?" Capricorn cupped his right fist on his chest as he bowed down at an almost ninety degrees angle towards Draegh'ana.

"Ulfrus, go and maul them!" Draegh'ana pointed her finger at the retreating goblins as they reeled back in fear after Ulfrus made its appearance. The Great Bear roared in acknowledgement of the orders of its master and charged towards the goblins as it trampled them under its hard body made of rock and soil. Ulfrus, as its master commanded, mauled the goblins and tore them to pieces.

"Kaprihkorn, wreak havoc as you wish! Bring down as many of them as possible." she commanded as she grabbed her two swords before resuming her path of slaughter. "Meh shall obey your orders." Capricorn answered as he dashed forward in a blink of an eye. He dashed in and out with a great speed that the goblins weren't even able to catch a glimpse of him before being sent to their doom by his hooves or horns.

Xiao Chen was making some wild swings as to clear his surroundings of the goblins. Their attacks weren't much, but they sure are annoying. Some of their weapons were laced with poison as he could feel his body going numb, he can't move his limbs as much as he wanted to because of the poison. He built up some resistance against poisons thanks to Rakh'ash'ta and his crazy concoctions, as well as his memory being jumbled up by the works that Xiao Chen tossed at him.

A goblin lunged at Xiao Chen as he halted on his attacks to catch his breath, which the goblin thought he was done for. Swinging his mighty weapon upwards, he bisected the goblin in half, from the crotch to the head. It was a clean cut as both sides of its body fell down in different directions and its entrails scattered all over the ground. Xiao Chen swung his weapon on a horizontal swipe and exploded the bodies and heads of all those that were on his weapon's trajectory.

A goblin quickly ducked down and rolled forward towards Xiao Chen, he smirked as he thought he was safe and was about to stab his rusty blade onto the ankles of the orc but then Xiao Chen brought down the butt end of his weapon and crushed the goblin's head to the ground. His weapon somehow followed the spine of the unfortunate goblin and pushed it out of its ass and replaced it.

The goblins nearby started backing away from him. He surveyed his surroundings, then stared at the poor goblin, whose spine was replaced by the shaft of his weapon. Shrieking in anger, some brave goblins shoved their kin aside and pounced on the orc. Xiao Chen smiled as he brought his weapon down on the head of the first one and bashed it to the ground with the crescent blade of his weapon. The goblin collapse to the ground without so much as a whimper as he was cut in half from head to his crotch.

Without missing a bit, Xiao Chen spun around in a clockwise direction, using his forward leg as a pivot. The other crescent blade of his weapon came forward and slashed the other two goblins who attempted to jump at him. They were slashed in half,one on the waist while the other one seemed lucky as he barely evaded a sure death as only both of his leg was cut off.

"Heh!" Xiao Chen smirked as the other goblins continued backing away from him for every step that he took forward. "Since you won't come, then I will... Here I come!" he shouted as he jumped towards the huddle of the goblins with the most numbers and bringing down his weapon with his full might, using its flat side to smash as many of his foes as possible.

Squashed into meat-paste, the ones that were unlucky enough to be hit by his weapon died a gruesome death as their bodies erupted into a bloody mist, showering their killer and their brethren with their flesh and blood. Xiao Chen raised his head and stared at the goblins, who continued to back away from him menacingly.

Looking in front of him, he saw them lined up in a straight line when made him smirk. He pointed his weapon forward, presenting toward his foes the sharp end of his weapon. Xiao Chen charged forgot as fast as he could while he tightened his gripped on his weapon as to not let it slipped out of his hands. The first one that he impaled was slightly taller than the others and had its chest area erased by the orc's charge. The second one didn't have it better, as his entire head was the one that got erased. Xiao Chen's wild charge managed to skewer over a dozen goblins, but his advance was halted as he lost momentum after going through many of his foes.

Xiao Chen shook off the corpses that were on his weapon by swinging it around, which fell down a few more of the goblins who were unlucky to be within his weapon's reach. He was already isolated in the ranks of the goblins as his previous wild charge led him deeper into the midst of their opponents.

He felt like molten lava was coursing through his veins. The more enemies that he sees, the more excited he became. Xiao Chen can't understand what he was feeling now, it was a confusing feeling. He should feel afraid now since enemies surround him on all sides, but no, he felt even more excited than ever, which he simply blamed on him now being an orc who loved nothing but a good battle.

Raising his head, he spotted a much bigger creature among the goblins. He focused his gaze on it, and as he had expected, it was a hobgoblin. It was shouting at the surrounding goblins while pointing its finger at the orc, who was now being surrounded by them. "Heh... I guess you are telling them to attack me... But, let me get your head first before I continue my fun.." he softly muttered to himself as he resumed on his slaughter after catching a momentary breather.
