Rise of the Horde

Xiao Chen approached the unmoving Abyssal Felid as the Rakshas made a path for him, then closed the encirclement once again. They were being cautious, as their opponent might be pretending to be dead.

Proceeding with extreme caution, Xiao Chen was inching forward ever so slightly. Around four Rakshas were keeping their guards up and following after their chieftain. They can see that their chieftain is already in a bad shape and his safety could be at risk if their opponent is still alive and just pretending to be dead just like they suspected.

More and more Rakshas followed after the first four and kept their eyes trailed on the unmoving Abyssal Felid. They were waiting for even the slightest sign of life on their enemy and they would storm it with a flurry of blows. Xiao Chen had his guard up while moving forward and enduring his broken leg.. 'Move and I'll send the Rakshas in. I ain't a fool to gamble with my life while injured this much' he thought as he slowly moved forward while gripping the handles of his swords. He won't be charging in again, but he could still throw his blades.

****"

Galum'nor clutched his head as he stood up. It was one hard fall that he just experienced. Pounding his chests to somehow ease the pain or as what he thought. He looked around and saw their chieftain slowly approaching their unmoving enemy.

He was about to join the Rakshas and their chieftain, but he was suddenly thrown forward. "Ack!" he gasped in pain as his chest landed harshly against a rock that was in front of him. Turning his head around, he spotted an old goblin that looked like a goblin version of Rakh'ash'ta except he possesses a sinister aura and his wooden staff is adorned by skulls of different creatures which were producing rattling sounds as he used it to support himself while moving forward.

"You insolent fools! The Abyss will come for you! My masters will descend and all of you will be turned to slaves. Repent now and my merciful masters will show mercy. Repent not and they will show no mercy!" the Great Goblin Leader preached as he knocked the butt of his staff on the ground like some kind of prophet.

Galum'nor knitted his brows and approached the Great Goblin Leader like he was convinced by the preach of the goblin acting like a prophet. The huge orc was going to kneel in front of the goblin preacher or it looks like it. The Great Goblin Leader smirked as he thought that he had convinced an orc to join him, but he was surprised when the huge orc grabbed his legs.

Just like before, Galum'nor slammed the Great Goblin Leader on the ground again and again, just like what he did with the Abyssal Felid. Loud crashing sounds reverberated as Galum'nor, with no mercy, smashed the Great Goblin Leader against the ground and whirling him around like a rag-doll.

"Tsk... Puny goblin..." Galum'nor clicked his tongue as he walked away after bashing the Great Goblin Leader against the hard ground for the last time.

"Heeee..." the Great Goblin Leader wheezed as he felt the tumultous pain that he was subjected to. He stared at the clear sky absentmindedly as the pain that he was experiencing all throughout his body was threatening to send him to the land of dreams. His eyes felt heavy, and it didn't take long for him to close his eyes. And dreamed of him being highly rewarded by his Abyssal Masters.

Xiao Chen was rendered speechless by the actions of Galum'nor. He easily decommissioned the Great Goblin Leader with no difficulty. Turning his head around, he saw the Rakshas prodding the body of the Abyssal Felid and poking its body with their spears. Xiao Chen knows that the Abyssal Felid was still alive as he still didn't receive the system prompt for successfully slaying the last Abyssal Felid and rewarding him with the hundred thousand points.

Grabbing the rear end of his weapon near its butt. Xiao Chen twisted it around in a full circle and right on cue the system prompt came, which informed him that he had successfully slayed the last target for his hundred thousand points to be given to him.

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief as he recovered his weapon and slung it on his shoulder. His next target was the Great Goblin Leader that was rendered unconscious by Galum'nor. Limping forward, Xiao Chen approached the still dreaming Great Goblin Leader who was unaware of his approaching end while still dreaming about being praised by his masters from the abyss.

Xiao Chen brought his weapon down and easily decapitated the Great Goblin Leader. He didn't even try to recover his weapon anymore as he slumped down on the ground right in front of the decapitated corpse of the Great Goblin Leader. All the pain that he was enduring became even more intense as he relaxed his body. His wounds were oozing out black miasma, which he suffered from the claws of the Abyssal Felid.

Feeling drowsy and exhausted, Xiao Chen fell on his back and went to his dreamland as their was no longer anything or anyone in his vicinity that will threaten his life.

After falling unconscious, Xiao Chen was no longer able to perceive his surroundings. The warriors of Yohan knew what they should do and were quick to execute them. They went around the battlefield and finished off any of their enemies that were still alive and recovered their wounded allies. Everything was going well. Xiao Chen had trained them well, albeit not personally.

Draegh'ana finally recovered from exhausting her mana and her summons being forcefully unsummoned by one of the Abyssal Felid. Adhalia was still on guard just like before and was on high alert just right beside the orc summoner. She was still not able to get over the fact that she just took part in a massive battle; it was her first time. And she felt really great. It was good; she shed no blood and felt no pain.

"They are still not done yet?" Gur'kan asked the sentries as he joined them. The two behemoths were going at it for days, but their battle seemed to be not ending anytime soon. He, the Second, Fifth and Seventh Warbands retreated back far away along with the survivors of the Skalsser Tribe. The two titans both have the ability to recover, but one of them needed the corpses of previously living beings around it to recover, while one of them only needed the ground and rocks to get back into its full fighting strength.

A few of the warriors of Yohan and many of the Skalsser orcs were sacrificed for them to finally learn their lesson. Being close to the giants who were slugging all out against each other would only result in them being sacrifices as the two gigantic creatures who were trying to destroy each other also destroyed their surrounded while they are at it. The hills were somewhat out of shape as some parts of them were flattened; the trees were uprooted and taken down as the two behemoths used them as weapons and bashed each other with the trunk of whatever tree they could get their hands on.

Everything was destroyed, anyone, and anything was demolished. All the living things were robbed of their life who weren't able to flee to safety. Gur'kan himself suffered a few gashes while rescuing those who were under him. It was utter chaos everywhere, as they can't do much against the enormous creatures who were slugging it out against each other for many days.

"War Chief, it seems that the Flesh Abomination is losing its ground against the Fire Golem after being starved of any living creature in its vicinity to replenish its strength." a sentry reported while maintain an alert posture. His eyes were glued to the two dangerous giants while he spoke.

"I can see that. Quarantine the surroundings and don't let any living creature come close to those two. Any that tries to get through would be killed immediate, no questions asked. Their bodies were thrown far, far away, but the animals would be turned to food to feed our comrades." Gur'kan commanded as he went back inside his tent to rest.

He was really being frustrated by the development of things. They can fight anyone even if they are at a disadvantage, but going against one of those two behemoths was nothing but suicide. They don't want to die a meaningless death. Dying for a cause, they would gladly do it, but dying a meaningless death, not going to happen.

They are still waiting for their chieftain, Khao'khen, to lead them in the conquest of the endless sands. That was all they were waiting for. Everything else is nothing but just an extra for them to sharpen themselves and not become dull while waiting for their leader to come.

Gur'kan was having a headache of what to do. He was executing everything according to what he has learned from Xiao Chen, but he lacks a little of his own initiative. When things go hard, he can't make his own decisions on how to proceed forward, which was the main reason that Xiao Chen chose Sakh'arran as the Druu'ghar Vaddash and not him.
