Abyss Summoner

Outside the city.

Hearing a series of urgent wolf howls, a layer of frost covered Lu Wei’s face. The situation was much worse than he had imagined. He originally thought he could hold out until Chen Feng arrived, but the orcs’ caution exceeded his expectations.

In less than twenty minutes, three waves of guards had already arrived outside the city. Even though the scouts lying in ambush had kept them in place, the rotating orcs did not return to check, which caused some commotion. Finally, under the patrol of the Dragon Riders, they discovered the peculiarity at the shore.

Not a single orc warrior!

Loyal guards couldn’t have left their posts without permission, which indicated that these people might have met with misfortune. Moreover, the distant fleet confirmed the opponents’ thoughts.

The fleet was not far away, and at such a distance, it would take no more than fifteen minutes to approach the shore. In this situation, the orcs unhesitatingly sounded the alarm.

How could it be!

Have humans actually started to counterattack?

Fifteen minutes left!

Listening to those wolf howls nearby, a solemn look appeared in Lu Wei’s eyes. He said seriously, "Everyone, begin battle preparations!"

"Before the Lord arrives, we must hold out for a while. If the shore falls, all our efforts will be in vain!"

There was a moment of shock all around.

With the addition of the Naga, they were no more than a hundred in number, not to mention they were more skilled in ambush tactics. Facing the orcs head-on? This already went against the code of a hunter.

However, no one raised any objections. Shortly after Lu Wei gave the order, the warriors lying in ambush stood up. They gripped their weapons tightly, looking solemnly at the distance.

"Take out the high-explosive grenades!"

Lu Wei stood aside, his eyes already filled with bloodshot: "We are not here for a fearless sacrifice. Doing everything possible to hold off the orcs is our current task! Some may die, but rest assured, your families will be taken care of, and those who survive will undoubtedly become heroes of Order!"

In just under two years.

Lu Wei had matured considerably. No one would doubt his age because he had already become a veritable leader.

"Yes!"

Order provides large subsidies to the families of the sacrificed. Even if some of these warriors had lost relatives, they started forming new families under the influence of the new environment, and some had even become fathers.

The safety of their families!

This is the main reason everyone fights on the front lines!

Lu Wei knows exactly what he is facing now. Precisely because of this, his expression is so frosty. What lies ahead is not ordinary zombies and insects but, according to previous reports, a group of terrifying orcs with some degree of thinking!

Cannot confront directly!

If these people are overwhelmed by the beast tide, it would be a massacre!

They must find a way to stall the orcs’ advance. Fortunately, before they came, everyone was equipped with high-explosive grenades. Even though the orcs are fearless, they will not bow to the grenades, but as long as they can stall their steps a little, it will be enough!

Owoo owoo!

The desolate howling sounded!

The warriors belonging to Order shivered, collectively looking ahead, where they could see some towering figures in the distance. Although the night affected their vision, they could still see the enemy approaching rapidly!

"Prepare for battle!"

"Hold the grenades in your hands!"

"No one is allowed to retreat. Anyone who disobeys will die!"

Lu Wei slowly covered himself with a layer of bone membrane, while uneven bone spurs appeared on his back. In this critical situation, he didn’t hesitate to use the power of the Bone Demon!

"No one can escape from the hands of the Dark Department!"

"Think of your family behind you. If we don’t defeat these ugly creatures here, Order will always face a threat!"

"Our Lord’s fleet will arrive soon. We can survive, believe me... For the glory of our Lord, prepare for battle!"

In this situation, Lu Wei even changed the way he addressed Chen Feng. He knows the predicament he will face, so boosting his companions’ morale is of utmost importance!

A thick putrid smell emerged, and the surrounding warriors could even see the enemy’s silhouette now.

The dull sound of war drums echoed around, and orc infantry clad in simple armor charged toward this small squad, giving the impression of hundreds of fierce beasts rushing at once, creating an intense sense of intimidation!

These gigantic figures began to gallop on the ground. The Water Ghost instantly got goosebumps, but Lu Wei’s order hadn’t been issued yet; they couldn’t take action at will!

"Two hundred meters!"

"One hundred meters!"

"Eighty meters!"

Everything happened in an instant. The warriors could clearly see the orcs pushing and shoving, crowding together as if forming a huge mass of rotting flesh trying to envelope everyone inside!

Witnessing all this, Lu Wei didn’t hesitate to shout, "Throw!"

With this roar, everyone threw their equipped grenades, and a thunderous sound erupted, with the bright light mixed with blood and flesh splattering everywhere!

The explosion halted the Beastman assault!

This is the third generation of high-explosive grenades, containing not only conventional gunpowder but also a significant amount of poison. Once it enters the body through wounds, it might not kill instantly, but paralysis and sluggishness are unavoidable!

Rocks and dirt fell like a torrential downpour, severely injuring the Beastmen, and those at the center of the explosion were directly blown to pieces.

When the smoke cleared, the air was filled with the scent of gunpowder and blood, a mixture that was everywhere. Some were killed on the spot, while others were left with only parts of their bodies, struggling to survive. The Beastmen did not retreat. After hesitating for a few minutes, they once again staggered forward.

The concept of retreat didn’t exist for the Beastmen. On the battlefield, blood and death could push them into a primitive and frenzied state of excitement. Stimulated by the blood, the surviving Beastmen pushed forward, discarding the corpses behind, launching a new round of attacks.

The situation became even more terrifying as, accompanied by a muffled howl, dozens of raiders riding giant wolves suddenly burst forth from the Beastmen ranks. These terrifying cavalry from the Beastman horde, upon witnessing everything unfold, turned their blades towards Lu Wei and the other Dark Department members!

.........

The foul stench from the giant wolf’s gaping maw spread around. As it stepped forward on its strong limbs, the brutal death of its companion made the wolf even more explosive and ferocious. It clenched its muscles and charged towards Lu Wei.

Lu Wei was unprepared, merely raising his hand, and his skeletal-like fist immediately swung out.

"Bang!"

A ripping sound of flesh and blood echoed, and the giant wolf was killed with one punch. Its head was crushed, and brain matter and blood splattered gruesomely on the ground.

"Follow me, we can’t let them take this coast!"

Lu Wei wielded the bone and charged forward. Behind him, the Naga and Dark Department members immediately followed. In no time, both sides clashed.

As expected, the Beastman legion arrived; a giant wolf leaped fiercely and pounced on the Naga. A crisp sound of bone breaking followed as the Beastman on the wolf’s back smashed the Naga’s head with a single axe swing!

The raiders were not weak. On the contrary, as a powerful cavalry group within the Beastman army, they possessed terrifying power.

Even though the Dark Department and the Nagas were driven by determination and unleashed even greater power, under the siege of the Beastmen, more and more warriors were suffering casualties.

Time ticked by second by second.

Despite the fear, none of the warriors chose to flee. Within the Order, warriors would be revered, while deserters faced expulsion and contempt. More crucially, if one died during their escape, their family would receive no privilege.

With no option to retreat, it was either death or holding on until reinforcements arrived, their only two paths!

"Roar!"

With a muffled roar, a massive figure charged from the Beastman side!

He stood three meters tall, and as a humanoid creature, his height imposed significant intimidation on the warriors. His explosive muscles bulged, revealing veins like worms!

Lante!

This was a legendary Taur!

Despite his seemingly cumbersome body, he possessed incredible explosiveness. In merely an instant, he charged in front of a Dark Department member with a colossal Totem Stone Stake as his weapon. He swung it around, crushing down on the warrior like a burst of fireworks, blood and pieces of bones spraying into the air.

Legend, this was an unbridgeable chasm!

"This... how could this be..."

Lu Wei trembled, a hint of surprise reflected in his eyes, and he mumbled in disbelief. His subordinate hadn’t lasted a second against the opponent, reduced to mere flesh fragments on the ground.

The opponent’s power had gone beyond his comprehension.

From this adversary, Lu Wei felt a pressure akin to what Chen Feng could impose—this was an enemy even more terrifying than the Golden Tier!

After slaughtering a life, Lante’s speed abruptly increased. He rushed forward, rapidly killing several warriors, and within minutes, his gaze finally locked onto Lu Wei!

Seemingly finding the culprit, he charged forth, slamming towards the somewhat distracted Lu Wei. If hit with such force, death was imminent.

"Roar!"

Lu Wei’s pupils dilated as if foreseeing his impending doom. But just then, the sound of wings flapping echoed, and a petite figure charged at Lante!

Compared to Lante’s burly physique, the petite figure was like an egg striking a rock. But in the next second, as it hit Lante’s chest, the already frenzied Beastman stumbled, nearly falling over.

"Saved!"

Lu Wei breathed heavily. Recalling the pressure he felt just moments ago, he still felt breathless. There was something peculiar about the roar. For those few seconds, Lu Wei couldn’t even muster the strength to take a step!

This was a form of soul pressure.

Fortunately... the reinforcements had finally arrived.

Inferior Demons!

Chen Feng’s vanguard had finally arrived before the situation deteriorated further!

Not far away.

Watching the torrential rain in the air, Chen Feng, his expression cold and stern, raised his right hand and then swung it violently forward.

All the warriors secured their weapons. As the warship slowly approached the shore, they roared and charged forward. With the arrival of reinforcements, the battle between humans and beasts began!
