Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 600: Chapter 459, The Final Battle_1

The earth-shaking explosion echoed throughout the city.

Stone and flesh were mixed together, scattered everywhere.

The Orcish army suffered heavy casualties, even the skeletons climbing up the city wall fell due to the shaking of the city caused by the explosion.

Krat stood on the city wall, dizzy and ringing in his ears.

Leaning against a nearby wall, he barely managed to stand upright.

As the city’s dust gradually dissipated, Krat looked at the scene within the city, frozen in place.

At this point, Tasgo City was like a human purgatory, with bodies and pieces of flesh everywhere, and the pain-filled wails of Orcs.

Smelling the pungent scent of gunpowder in the air, Krat finally understood what these cylindrical objects were.

Dwarven gunpowder.

The Dwarves used gunpowder to develop many strange explosives and devices, which they found convenient for mining.

But why were they in the hands of the Undead?

The sound of skeletons climbing once again arose from below the city wall.

Krat quickly gathered his spirits and shouted loudly, “Regroup and continue to defend the city wall!”

But he couldn’t bring himself to say any words of encouragement like ‘We can win, these are just lower Undead’.

The uninjured Orcs quickly climbed up the city wall, preparing for defense.

Crack, crack, crack !!

Several more skeletons climbed up the city wall, and the Orcs prepared to counterattack.

Rain of arrows from the skeletons forced the Orcs into a defense stance once again.

Arrows and magic missiles were continuously fired upwards, clearing the Orcs who had just climbed up.

The Orcs behind continued to fill in and defend.

“City Lord, there are too many enemies, we cannot resist.” a soldier loudly reported.

The Undead were already starting to climb the city wall, engaging in fierce fighting with the Orcs.

Below the city, the number of skeletons was like a mass of ants, continuously spreading upwards.

With their current defensive methods and abilities.

They simply cannot stop this Undead offensive.

Krat shouted loudly, “Even if we can’t stop them, we must. Otherwise, all of us will die.”

The Orcs did not answer, but the replacements for their fallen comrades kept coming and defended the city wall with gritted teeth.

Time slowly ticked on.

The battle on both sides began to turn into a war of attrition, each competing with the attrition of their forces.

It was a test to see who could persist till the end.

However, more bad news arrived.

A harried Orc came running over, pushed his helmet slightly, and loudly reported, “City Lord Krat, the North gate has been broken through, Commander Mashak is retreating with the soldiers.”

Before Krat could respond, another soldier ran over quickly and said, “We’ve lost control of the West city wall, Chief Andras is struggling for control.”

The successive news made Krat’s expression to change drastically.

Both the North and West city walls were commanded by two heroes of the Blackstone tribe.

Since the Blackstone tribe itself had few people, they commanded a coalition of surrounding Orcs.

As it was not their own army and resistance to the fight was strong, it was difficult to exert real combat power in the defense.

From the beginning of the battle, the defense on both city walls had been very tough.

After a round of bombing, both city walls had completely fallen and the White Bone army was continuously pouring in.

The defending Orc soldiers were forced to retreat under the fearless Undead’s attack.

Despite the two heroes fighting head-on, they still could not change the inevitable outcome.

Krat had not expected the fall to be so rapid.

After cursing both of them, he asked hurriedly, “Where are they now?”

“The two Commanders are gathering the remaining army to stop the Undead from progressing any further.” the soldier replied.

Looking extremely grim, Krat noted that the loss of two city walls would render the remaining two of no defense value.

“Tell them to fight to their dying breath to slow them down… If we lose the city wall…” Krat decapitated a skeleton with a swipe and shouted.

But before he could finish his sentence.

Another Orc soldier came running quickly.

He shouted, “City Lord, the North gate has been opened! Commander Mashak was killed by a tall skeleton, a large number of skeletons have entered the city and are moving towards the other three gates, planning to capture them from the inside.”

“What!? Mashak is dead?” Krat was even more surprised.

Just a moment ago it was reported that the North city had fallen, and now Mashak had fallen in battle.

This was happening too fast.

The soldier repeated, “Commander Mashak is dead, the North gate has completely collapsed, the enemy will soon spread to the other three.”

Hearing this news, the defensive soldiers on the city wall froze.

Once one city wall was breached, even if the other three persisted, the city’s overall defense was compromised.

Not to mention, the defense here at the city wall was already struggling.

Endless skeletons were climbing onto the city wall, fighting with the Orcs.

If the skeletons coming from the North gate were to attack from behind.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They would be caught in the middle and the situation would be even more adverse for them.

Having no alternative, Krat gritted his teeth and said, “Inform everyone to fall back to the second line of defense for a final stand.”

“Yes!”

The soldier quickly left to pass on the message.

Meanwhile, the defensive force on the city wall began slowly retreating while fighting, gradually giving up their defensive position.

When the Orcs retreated from the city wall.

The Skeletons quickly covered the city wall.
