Supreme Dragon Seal

Chapter 145: Judgement Knights

Qi Bei watched the scene from a distance and nodded slightly. Since he had decided to support Jin Gang, it was natural for Jin Gang to take the lead when facing the Orcs and gradually establish his authority in the hearts of the Orc soldiers who had joined him.

And Jin Gang didnt disappoint him. Despite his imposing stature, he was cautious and had always played the role of his bodyguard, without the opportunity to showcase his abilities. Now it seemed that he indeed possessed the qualities of a leader.

At this moment, a soft hand gently held Qi Beis hand. He turned his head and saw Huan Ying looking at him gratefully.

Young master, thank you, she whispered.

Silly girl, do we need to thank each other? Qi Bei smiled and embraced Huan Ying in his arms.

.

What? The Beast God has descended and captured the five cities of the Ironback Orcs? Nonsense! When Prince Kuxi of Bimon received the intelligence, his face turned pale with anger. He didnt believe in the so-called descent of the Beast God. Would the Beast God lead a group of ordinary soldiers to attack a city? Ridiculous.

Prince Kuxi, its possible that they are remnants of the Beast God Clan, an Orc captain suggested.

Kuxis face stiffened for a moment. When his father wiped out the Beast God Clan, it was true that two mixed-blood offspring escaped. Could it be that they had awakened the bloodline of the Beast God?

In any case, we must recapture the five cities of the Ironback Orcs, Kuxi said fiercely.

Prince Kuxi, our main forces are being held back by the Rhino Tribes army, and the vanguard army is being held back by the forces of the Golden Leaf Empire on the border, the Orc captain said.

Labo, that useless fool, send him a message. Tell him to immediately lead the army and recapture the five cities, Kuxi said sternly.

It hadnt been long since Labos self-praising letter arrived. This brainless guy actually led an army of 80,000 to intercept the remaining 20,000 survivors of the Rhino Tribe near Lake Tianxing. Although he wiped out all 20,000 survivors, his own army also suffered losses of over 10,000.

To besiege 20,000 survivors with an army of 80,000, and still suffer more than 10,000 casualties, yet have the audacity to come and take credit If it werent for the fact that his father, Rasang, was a veteran of the empire, he would have stripped him of his position.

Prince Kuxi, the intelligence shows that there are 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers occupying the five cities. With the remaining 70,000 troops under Labos command The Orc captains implication was clearLabo was incapable of recapturing the cities.

Kuxi contemplated for a moment and said, Go and seal a letter to Lari. Let him handle it himself

.

When Lari received Kuxis letter, news of the descent of the Beast God quickly spread throughout the entire Orc race like a prairie fire.

The Orc race consisted of thousands of tribes, many of which were once supporters of the Beast God Clan. Upon hearing this news, they began to stir restlessly.

The once stable balance of power among the Orc tribes showed signs of instability. Many tribes started investigating the truth of the matter, and if the rumors were confirmed, they would likely seek refuge with the Beast God remnants.

Lari looked at the letter from Prince Kuxi and remained silent for a long time.

That fool Labo. Even the usually calm Lari couldnt help but feel agitated.

However, he quickly took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. When he thought about the key point of this matter, even if the remnants of the Beast God Clan led an army to capture the five cities, how did this force of tens of thousands manage to deceive everyone?

The Emerald Grassland had the main forces of the Bimon Tribe and the Rhino Tribes army, while his vanguard army was stationed here.

Wait

Suddenly, Lari realized that something was amiss. Could the recent undead uprising be related to the remnants of the Beast God Clan?

They conspired with necromancers and caused the undead uprising, aiming to confuse the soldiers minds and force him to retract his defense line, thereby allowing tens of thousands of troops to

The more he thought about it, the more convinced Lari became. At this moment, he didnt suspect Qi Bei. After all, if the West Spirit City was mobilizing tens of thousands of troops, it would be impossible to keep it a secret from the many observers in the city.

So what should he do?

The forces of the Golden Leaf Empire were eyeing them greedily. If he dispatched troops to besiege the five cities of the Ironback Orcs, they would immediately swarm over like locusts. If they pursued his vanguard army, forget attacking the five cities, the vanguard army would be trapped in a situation of being attacked from both sides.

However, Prince Kuxis threat in the letter was self-evident. If they failed to capture the five cities of the Ironback Orcs, he, as the commander-in-chief, would be immediately replaced. And if the forces of the Golden Leaf Empire invaded, the outcome would be the same.

Sigh, Prince Kuxi, we have always been loyal to the royal family. You have gradually stripped us of our military power. Do we all have to retire to the imperial capital for you to feel at ease? Lari sighed, fully understanding the intentions of Prince Kuxi. Could the main forces of the army really not spare a hundred or eighty thousand troops? He was clearly using this as an excuse to make him retreat.

Without military power, they would be like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Lari couldnt possibly hand over his military power. With military power in hand, no matter who ultimately ascended to the throne of the Orc Empire, they would have a place.

Lari furrowed his brows and paced inside the tent. Suddenly, he thought of something and shouted, Bring Luli to me.

In no time, a rat-man junior captain with a fawning smile on his face walked in and said, Commander, did you summon me?

Last time, you mentioned that the Knights of the Light Temple were investigating the undead uprising. Is that true or not? Lari asked.

Thats correct, Commander. I witnessed it with my own eyes, said Luli, the ratman junior captain.

You go find them and say Lari whispered something in Lulis ear.

Understood, understood. I will handle this matter properly, hehehe Luli smirked.

At this moment, Labo returned with his 70,000 troops in a hurry.

He was extremely frustrated because he thought that after annihilating the remnants of the 20,000 Rhino Tribe, he would receive rewards. However, just as he was fantasizing about a bright future, his logistics base was raided, and he received a scathing letter from Prince Kuxi. Not only would he lose any rewards, but if he failed to recapture the five cities of the Ironback Orcs, he would likely lose his current position.

Riding swiftly, Labo had already arrived on the main road leading to the five cities of the Ironback Orcs. Soon, he saw a checkpoint set up ahead. The checkpoint was not particularly high or robust, and it seemed that a single charge could break through it.

Kill! Kill for this general! Labo roared in frustration.

As a result, the 70,000 exhausted Orc army, who had just returned, didnt even have time to catch their breath before they howled and charged towards the checkpoint.

The Orc cavalry took the lead, sweeping through like thunder.

Suddenly, large pits appeared ahead, and the front row of Orc cavalry, along with their mounts, fell into the pits. Rows of long spikes stood upright in the pits, turning the fallen Orc cavalry into a large skewer.

The first batch of 8,000 Orc cavalry suffered nearly half casualties as they charged towards the checkpoint.

And at that moment, a tremendous explosion occurred at the checkpoint, turning more than 2,000 Orc cavalry into charred remains.

Labo in the rear was trembling with anger and fear. Who the hell set up this trap? It was too sinister, incredibly sinister.

As it turned out, the checkpoint was actually a massive trap. The Divine Dragon soldiers stationed there had retreated as soon as they saw Labos army charging towards them.

In a single round, the ill-prepared Labo lost 6,000 Orc cavalry, while not even touching a hair of the enemy. Furious and cautious, he proceeded forward step by step, almost advancing cautiously with each camp.

As a result, the already low morale plummeted even further, and one by one, the soldiers became dispirited, their heads drooping as if they had lost their parents.

Seeing the morale so low and the sky gradually darkening, Labo had to announce to set up camp and rest.

Inside the tent, Labo was like an enraged lion that couldnt find an outlet for his anger, almost on the verge of bursting with blood.

Commander, perhaps we should retreat to the main camp of the main forces, said the sniveling Orc captain with a pointed mouth and puffy cheeks timidly.

Labos bloodshot eyes glared at him and suddenly slapped him hard, shouting angrily, If it werent for your lousy idea, would I have ended up in this situation? Retreat, can we retreat now? If I cant recapture the five cities, Im finished, and before Im finished, Ill finish you off first.

The Orc captain dared not say another word.

After tomorrow, you will be in command of the army. If we cant recapture the five cities, Ill kill you, Labo shouted.

Yes yes The Orc captain trembled in fear, no longer daring to argue.

Just then, the alarm of enemy attack suddenly sounded in the camp, causing a panic throughout the camp.

But just as the entire army was preparing to defend against the enemy, that enemy cavalry force turned and retreated, disappearing into the darkness.

As a result, the weary army of over 60,000 Orcs unloaded their armor and rested.

However, not long after, the alarm of enemy attack sounded again, causing another frenzy in the camp.

And so, overnight, in the midst of repeated alarms of enemy attacks, the weary army of over 60,000 Orcs was harassed and exhausted. They became drowsy one by one, devoid of any fighting capability.

The command of the army was handed over to the sniveling Orc captain, who ordered the army to withdraw and rest for a hundred miles. After resting, they would launch a full-scale attack.

..

Ten Judgment Knights wearing the radiant Holy Armor were mounted on towering beasts, standing on a desolate mountain. Their entire bodies were enveloped in armor, with only devout eyes visible, and their Judgment Spears emitted a faint holy light.

These were not ordinary Knights of Light Temple but the Judgment Knights, each possessing the strength of an Earth-grade expert.

Just then, a beam of white light suddenly shot across the sky, and a beast much larger than the mounts of the Judgement Knights soared with its wings spread open, carrying a female knight.

This female knight was also clad in the Holy Armor, but on her snow-white breastplate, there was a burning flame emblem.

Chief Judge. The ten Judgment Knights raised their spears respectfully and said.

Just now, an Orc mentioned that the undead uprising was incited by someone colluding with the forces of darkness. We will now investigate the Ironback Orc territory in the Deserted Swamp Mountains, said the female knight. Her voice was clean and transparent, but it carried a chilling aura of determination.
