Chapter 564 - Mission Complete
564 Mission Complete
When they saw the intermediate wizard take one of their arrows, the orc deities became extremely angry. They all madly pointed towards those mountain high amounts of corpses and kept setting off explosions.
That giant shield appeared outside of the Miracle Wall all of a sudden. It was the true defense power of the Miracle Wall, but normally, it would take up way too much energy. Weak attacks would rarely trigger it.
The deities kept unleashing the “exploding corpses’ and ‘poison explosion’ spells, blasting the entire miracle wall with flame and poisonous air. All of a sudden, the entire place was engulfed in blood smog.
White light kept flashing on the Miracle Wall’s protective shield, and it began to shake. This distributed the force of the explosion.
Abel was shocked to see the deities wasting their death qi. If they kept unleashing ruthless attacks like these, they might use all their death qi in no time.
“K3003, aren’t the deities afraid of using too much death qi?” Abel turned back and asked.
“Can you see the soil outside of the Miracle Wall? It’s made by countless dead orcs throughout thousands of years. Nothing could grow on that soil, not even bugs. This entire place is filled with endless death qi. If the Miracle Wall didn’t exist, the entirety of Miracle City would be affected!” K3003 sighed, pointing at the soil outside.
Because of the endless death qi, the deities could easily alter the death qi around them to unleash spells. This technique was developed through countless years of testing by the orcs, as well.
“I don’t understand, why are those Pecker Orcs so willing to die for the Orc Empire? Abel followed as he looked outside. He was still a little stunned.
They were still living beings at the end of the day. Why was the Orc Empire was so willing to send them to die just for an arrow testing experiment!
“My senior told me this. Those Pecker Orcs are too good at breeding, and the Orc Empire doesn’t have enough food supply food all of them!” Said k3305.
“What? Don’t they have boars?” Abel was confused.
Abel was right; the Orc Empire sent as many boar to die as Pecker Orcs. If they just ate those boars, it would have at least ease up the food problem of the Orc Empire, right?
“Orcs are intelligent beings at the end of the day. They can’t eat their mates, no matter what” k3305 replied, looking at Abel.
“Se boars Orcs’ mates?” Abel was shocked once again.
“Pecker orcs will give birth to non-human Peckers half of the time. Those Peckers will become the mounts of their brothers and sisters. The Orc Empire will send them out on an attack like this once in a while. Sometimes even more, but their numbers are decreasing lately.
Even this year, we didn’t get many attacks like this; this was their biggest one. It is almost like a tradition at this point; the Orc Empire will send Pecker Orcs to the Miracle Wall once they’ve reached a certain age.
You see, even before, so many Pecker orcs had died outside of the Miracle Wall. That patch of land was already ruled by the orc deities. It is very hard for a normal person to handle the death qi there, and even wizards like us would need to put protection spells. Of course, head commanders can stay there for a short period of time” k3305 saw that Abel was speechless, so he just explained everything at once.
By that point, Abel could understand what the conditions outside of the Miracle Wall must be like. Countless Orcs had died there throughout thousands of years–especially after being altered by deities with deep knowledge on death qi. It was a natural protection shield for the orcs.
“Of course, it is not impossible to suppress the death qi. Miracle City will conduct a cleaning mission from time to time, and the Miracle Spirit will carry some energy on to the ground, and open up a passage.” K3305 continued.
“What’s the cleaning mission?” It was the first time Abel had heard of this mission, so he was very curious.
“No matter how many orcs there are, we still can’t just keep letting them attack us. From time to time, Miracle Wall will send out an elite squad made up of wizards and knights to wipe out some villages in the Orc Empire. These missions are very dangerous, but pay very well!” K3305 explained.
“It pays well!” Abel’s eyes began to sparkle. As long as he got enough war glory, he could leave this place and go back to his domain to do his training peacefully.
“Haha, let’s go together someday. We can definitely get a lot more rewards with your help!” Said k3305 with a laugh. He really liked to form a team with Abel to do missions. It was like having a powerful mate. Missions were a lot easier and safer this way.
“If those deities don’t have a powerful defense, they might not be able to go back!”k3003 said to Abel.
“Did you find anything wrong with the arrows?” Abel asked even though how fully well.
“All thanks to you. The Miracle spirit already contacted the Hunters nearby; if those deities didn’t have a strong defense, they might not be able to go back!” Said k3003 with a laugh.
At that moment, Abel’s military card vibrated. He then connected his power of the on to it, and a message appeared.
“K3516, your report is correct. You received 10 war glory!”
10 war glory! It seems like the Miracle Spirit really cared about those armor piercing arrows. 10 war glory was quite a lot. Abel was only given 5 war glory when he was innocently attacked, and joining an emergency mission had only given him 2 war glory.
At that moment, the deities outside of Miracle Wall already began to retreat. All the Pecker Orcs’ dead bodies had been blast into pieces. The ground was filled with flesh and blood, and the air was filled with poison smog. The wind was blowing slowly that day, so they would be affected for a while.
Miracle City could not send anyone to attack those retreating deities, so they could only depend on those hunters.
On the Miracle Wall, the knights also began to retreat with only a few left behind as guards. The wizards did the same as well.
However, Abel did not leave. Instead, he arrived at the edge of the Miracle Wall and looked down at the ground 500 meters below him. Looking at the blood soaked ground with his own eyes was different from using the surveillance ability of his military card.
He finally realized why it was so hard to clean those dead bodies. They had merged with the soil, and with the power of death qi, it would basically be a nightmare.
Abel felt very unsettled as he stood on the Miracle Wall, looking over 2 entirely different worlds. The human side was filled with life with the Miracle City and patches of green, but the orc’s side was deserted. There was only a drop of green from far far away.
Actually, Abel didn’t have much sympathy for the orcs. If they had enough food on top of their ability to breed, orcs would be the most powerful being in the Holy Continent would instead of humans.
The human would be in the orcs’ position. The one who would die would be humans, not orcs.
He also realized how important the Miracle Wall was. If the orcs could break through and get a hold of the human resources, the Orc Empire’s power would be explosive.
Abel had no idea how the humans back in the days had fought the orcs all the way to the deserted land on the other side of Mount Budapest. He also had no idea who the orcs could dig this giant hole in Mount Budapest, and what sacrifice they humans had made to fight them back.
“K3516, No need to look! You will have a chance in the future!”k3305 also did not leave. Instead, he waited for Abel.
He knew how it felt to witness a bloody battle like this for the first time. He was just surprised that Abel didn’t throw up.
