Chapter 41: Slaying the Orc King
Ten days later, outside the Rhine.
"It's a pity that the Rhine City was still not breached!!"
A three-meter-tall statue of Gordon, the half-orc king with knotted muscles and bulging fangs, and a three-meter giant sword on his back, flashed a trace of regret in his eyes.
In the past ten days, Gordon commanded an army of more than 100,000 monsters to launch an attack on Rhine City day and night, killing more than 100,000 monsters in total, but he still could not climb the high city walls and enter the city.
Gordon sighed faintly and ordered, "Withdraw!"
At Gordon's order, the five thousand and a half orcs, as well as the remaining eight thousand pig-headed men and twenty thousand goblins, immediately began to retreat.
On the walls of the Rhine.
"Those damn monsters have finally retreated!"
Count Rhein finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the monsters besieging the city below retreating.
The non-stop siege of the hundreds of thousands of monsters day and night made the loss of Rhine City extremely serious. More than sixty percent of the elite soldiers under the command of Count Rhine were killed or wounded, and if it weren't for the defense of the city, they would have collapsed long ago.
The head of the Red Leaf Knights under the command of Count Rhine, Kurenau, said in a deep voice: "Lord Earl, did you let me lead the people of the Knights to chase down those monsters?" β
There was only one knight under the command of the Count of Rhine, and there were only fifty official knights in the knighthood. Each of those knights is a C-level or higher rank [Knight], the Knight's Commander Kureno is a B-rank [Knight], and the Knight's Deputy Leader is also a B-rank [Knight].
In addition to the fifty knights, the knight order also had three hundred D-rank knight servants with the rank of [Warrior]. This order is the strongest force under the command of Count Rhine.
The Count of Rhein decisively refused: "No! Those monsters retreated! But most of the monsters lost were cannon fodder! The losses of the elite legions of the half-orcs were not large. And there is also the king of the orcs, it is too dangerous for you to attack! β
The human knights are much better equipped than the orcs, and they are all proficient in killing swordsmanship. Under the leadership of the two captains, the Red Leaf Knights can completely defeat a half-orc army with more than 1,000 people, or they can easily kill a goblin army of 10,000 people.
However, if the Red Leaf Knights are surrounded by an army of five and a half orcs and besieged by countless low-level monsters, there is also a possibility that they will be completely annihilated.
Cureno said: "Yes! Lord Earl! β
Gordon stared at the Rhine City and found that the gates of the Rhine City were closed, like a turtle with a shrunken head, so he could only take a deep look at the high city walls and turn away.
With Gordon's strength as the Orc King, it could jump onto the walls of the Rhine. But in that case, it will face the siege of countless masters in the city, and there is only one way to die.
Gordon commanded the army of monsters and began to move in the direction of the Black Forest Mountains, and since they could not capture Rhine City, those monsters could only retreat back to the Black Spirit Mountains, each looking for food, and waiting for the next order.
"It's coming!"
Fang Chen stood on the top of a big tree, and through the leaves, he saw from a distance those dense monsters walking into his ambush circle, and a slight smile swelled up at the corner of his mouth.
During this time, Fang Chen had been guarding Ding Shuya and Elena, allowing the two of them to grow Saint Pure Mushrooms all the time, covering a large area of forest.
After Zhang Chao observed the retreat direction of those monster armies, Fang Chen led people to ambush here in advance.
"Do it!"
Fang Chen let out a loud shout, and directly led the elites of the Star Guild Executive Department to rush towards the army of monsters commanded by Gordon.
Almost at the same time, the 30,000 goblins crooked and fell to the ground, their eyes full of fear.
Gordon's body shook, his face changed in an instant, and he felt the power of his body suddenly dissipate rapidly: "Damn!" What's going on? Could it be the power of legendary magic? β
Those majestic and burly orcs also shook their bodies, and a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. They weren't like the goblins that fell to the ground and couldn't move, but they felt like most of their strength was being drained away.
Fang Chen and his party directly led people into the monster and rushed straight towards Gordon.
Gordon, the king of the half-orcs, was the target of Fang Chen's hunt.
"Withdraw!! CarrΓ©, you bring someone to my palace and resist them!! β
Gordon was very decisive, let out a loud shout, and turned and fled in the direction of the Rhine.
"Yes! King! Follow me! β
A half-orc leader, Kare, roared angrily, commanding an army of half-orcs to charge towards Fang Chen and his party.
The orc army had barely taken a few steps before they fell to the ground with sore hands and feet.
A few orc leaders such as CarrΓ© and dozens of orc warriors were able to barely sustain the charge.
"I'll help you get out of the way!!"
Xia Ling snorted softly, activated his soul talent, appeared in front of Kalei with a big sword in his hand, cut off Kalei's head with a sword, and then frantically slaughtered those half-orc warriors who could still stand. When she activated the [Body of the God of War], it was so ferocious.
Jing Yumeng and the others also followed Fang Chen's side, urging their soul talents to slaughter those half-orc powerhouses.
Fang Chen's agility exceeded 230 points with the blessing of the equipment, completely surpassing the C-level [Thief], and infinitely connected to the second-order class [Assassin] of the C-level [Thief Department]. His dash was far faster than his galloping horse, and he soon appeared behind Gordon and his party, swinging his sword and slashing at the weakened orc leader.
"Die!! Humanity is a bastard! β
Gordon's eyes burned with rage, and he roared angrily, holding a three-meter giant sword and slashing towards Fang Chen.
"Idiot!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Fang Chen's eyes, and a sword slashed at the three-meter giant sword.
Poof!!
With a loud bang, the three-meter giant sword in Gordon's hand was directly shaken away.
Fang Chen slashed down with a sword, slashing between Gordon's neck, Gordon's head instantly flew high, turning into a headless corpse and falling heavily to the ground.
"The main city secret realm mission: Resist the demon tide, has been completed ahead of schedule, is it necessary to return to the settlement? If you don't settle out, you have 168 hours of free time. β
"No settlement for the time being!"
Fang Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the golden treasure chest that Gordon had burst out in his hand, revealing a hint of a smile.
A half-orc king like Gordon is simply not something that players can compete with at this time. Fang Chen also relied on Ding Shuya's soul talent to grow mushrooms and the power of the Elena Holy Maiden to kill it.
After killing Gordon, Fang Chen joined the ranks of slaughtering monsters again.
After annihilating the army of monsters commanded by Gordon, Fang Chen obtained more than five hundred pieces of E-level equipment, more than one hundred bottles of E-level elixir, more than seventy pieces of D-level equipment, and more than fifty bottles of D-level elixir in one go.
Fang Chen directly took twenty bottles of E-grade elixir and thirty bottles of D-grade elixir, in addition to consuming 5 bottles of D-grade elixir to increase his intelligence to 42 points, and 4 bottles of charm elixir to increase his charm to 34 points, he used the rest of the elixir on Elena's body to improve her physical fitness.
In addition to the golden treasure box that Gordon burst out, the dozen or so orc leaders around Gordon, the king of the three pig-headed men, and the king of the ten goblins also burst out of the purple treasure box. Those treasure boxes were also in Fang Chen's pocket.
"You've earned 400,000 game points."
"You've obtained a D-rank elixir of your choice*100."
"You've obtained a C-rank elixir of your choice*70."
ββ¦β¦β
Fang Chen opened all those purple treasure boxes, and lines of information kept emerging. In addition to obtaining D-level and C-level self-selected elixirs, he also obtained a lot of D-level and C-level equipment, and even obtained two B-level spirit pig sets.
Fang Chen directly consumed the D-grade elixir to increase his intelligence and charm attributes to 50 points, and then consumed the C-grade elixir to increase his intelligence, mental power, and perception to 70 points, and at the same time increased his physique to 60 points.
When his intelligence exceeded 60 points, Fang Chen chose to strengthen the branch to increase the speed of brain computing by 50%.
When the spirit broke through 60 points, Fang Chen chose to strengthen the branch's spirit resistance to increase by 30%.
When the perception exceeded 60 points, Fang Chen chose to strengthen the branch crisis perception enhancement to increase by 30%.
When his physique exceeded 60 points, Fang Chen chose to strengthen the branch's all-attribute resistance by 30%.
After Fang Chen finished strengthening, he took out 20 D-level self-selected elixirs in his hand and exchanged them with Jing Yumeng, Ding Shuya, Xia Ling, the most core members, for some E-level elixirs to strengthen Elena's attributes, and then used the rest of the D-level self-selected elixirs to strengthen Elena, strengthening her intelligence, mental power, and physique to 50 points.
After doing all this, Fang Chen opened the golden treasure box.
"You have obtained a B-rank elixir of your choice*20."
"P.S. B-grade elixir can strengthen physical attributes below 90 points."
"You have obtained A-rank equipment [Enhanced Orc King Armor]."
"A-rank equipment [Enhanced Orc King Armor]."
"Defense +200."
"Durability 1200/1200."
"Additional Skill: Low-level Magic Shield."
"Notes: It can consume mana to form a low-level magic shield outside the body to resist various spell attacks. The low-level magic shield can only resist the attacks of C-level magic at most, and can barely cancel out some of the power of B-level magic. β
"A-Rank Skill: Strange Force."
"Skill description: A skill that can consume mana and increase the base strength by up to 3 times. Up to level 6, level 1 increases strength by 1x. β
A scorching color flashed in Fang Chen's eyes: "Low-level magic shield!" Finally, it has appeared, and the equipment skills of the defense magic class have appeared! With this skill, you will be able to compete with magicians. β
In the continent of Radar Nien, there are four career paths: Warrior, Thief, Archer, and Apprentice. The second rank of a warrior is a knight, the second rank of a thief is an assassin, the second rank of an archer is a marksman, and the second rank of an apprentice is a mage.
In this game of gods, there is no balance between the major classes, and the most powerful is undoubtedly the magician!
Players in the remaining three career paths must use powerful system equipment if they want to compete with mages, which is the magic equipment in the mouths of the natives of the Radar Nien continent! Otherwise, it can only be filled with human lives, consuming the magic power of those magicians.
The [Enhanced Orc King Armor] is an A-level equipment with a [Low-level Magic Shield] skill, which is a magic equipment that can allow knights to compete with magicians! Without this skill, many spells can easily kill powerful B-rank knights.
Fang Chen directly drank 20 bottles of B-grade elixir, directly increasing his magic power to 90 points, and then chose the strengthening branch again: the mana recovery speed increased by 80%!
Fang Chen secretly pondered: "Having sealed that half-orc king, plus three hundred half-orc legions, even B-rank knights may not be my half-orc legions' opponents." However, the weakness of the orc legion is me, and I must improve my own strength! β
Fang Chen activated the [Equipment Enhancement] soul talent, consumed the monster corpses on the ground, and began to strengthen the equipment on his body, directly strengthening the equipment of the civet series on his body into B-level equipment.
"B-Rank Gear [Clove Cat Leather Boots]"
"+10 Defense."
"Dexterity +90."
"B-level equipment [Clove Cat Armguard]."
"Defense +35."
"Dexterity +45."
"B-Rank Equipment [Civet Helmet]"
"Defend +25."
"Dexterity +45."
"B-level equipment [Clove Cat Pants Armor]."
"Defense +25."
"Dexterity +55."
"Notes: The effect of the 4-piece set increases agility by 150%."
After the spirit cat series equipment on Fang Chen's body was upgraded to B-level, his agility directly increased to 365 points. This stat point is already comparable to the agility attribute point possessed by the top C-rank assassins. He's just an E-tier player who hasn't been transferred at this time, and that's the power of top-tier system equipment.
