“Big Brother, the Roth Empire’s army is coming from the east. They are only around 2.5 kilometers away from our tribe. The Sila Tribe has fallen, and the tribe was burnt down. Many must have died.” Habeng ran up the stone wall with beads of perspiration trickling down his forehead. He looked at Haga, who was standing on the wall, looking out into the distance, and said, “They are too much, we have to fight it out with them!”

“Don’t be anxious. Send down orders to transport the bows and arrows in our tribe up to the city walls. Have the best hunters ready at the city wall, and get others to bring stones up,” Haga ordered calmly.

The Uto Tribe was situated at the center of the Twilight Forest. The tribe’s settlement was built halfway up the mountain, and had a cliff behind it. Two sides of the settlement were sharp inclined cliffs, and there was only a rocky mountain road leading down the mountain. It was generally unsuitable for large troops to travel along this road, and this was also where they built a massive five-meter-tall wall.

As a middle-sized tribe, the Uto Tribe had more than 5,000 orcs. Disregarding the elderly and the young, there were around 3,000 orcs that could fight.

In orc tribes, females could fight just as well as males.

As the eldest son of the chief, Haga was also the expected successor of the leader of the Uto Tribe. He had already taken over various tasks from his father, and was currently holding real power in the tribe.

This was also why the two brothers had not gone to Mamy Restaurant for such a long time. Recently, Auster and Connie had been fighting it out in the Twilight Forest. The pro-war and pro-peace groups could not agree with each other, and as the leader of the Uto Tribe, Haga needed to stay in the tribe to manage anything that could happen.

The Uto Tribe had decided to stand with peace. As it was a small-medium tribe that was not very strong, peace brought about stable development for the Uto Tribe, allowing them not to become victims of a battle again.

A few days ago, Connie sent them a classified letter to warn them about the Roth Empire’s attack.

Therefore, Haga called upon all the orcs in the tribe to cancel all hunting activities to have the best and strongest hunters stay behind in the tribe to protect the people.

Habeng did not really care about that. He thought that the Roth Empire would not start a war on the orcs before the end of the peace talks. It was even more impossible for the Roth Empire to reach the Uto Tribe at the center of the Twilight Forest.

All these years, the orc tribes near the Roth Empire borders had been engaging in battles with the Roth Empire. They had even robbed some of the villages and towns of the Roth Empire. All the while, the Roth Empire had not dared to attack the Twilight Forest.

However, no one would have thought that today, on the first day of the peace talks, the Roth Empire would actually launch a sudden attack at the Twilight Forest. On top of that, they quickly wiped out several large tribes at the borders, slicing right through the Twilight Forest like a sharp knife as though it wanted to cut the entire forest into two.

The unlucky coincidence made their tribe was right in the way of the advancing Roth Empire’s steel rides. The Sila Tribe, which was before them, was already defeated.

It was a medium-sized tribe with tens of thousands of orcs living inside their settlement, and they were stronger than the Uto Tribe.

However, it only took a short span of an hour from when they were attacked to when they were left defeated.

The Roth Empire’s steel rides were just like locusts, flocking to their next target the moment they destroyed one tribe.

It was obvious there was no place for the Uto Tribe to hide. As proud orcs, they would naturally not surrender.

“Haga.” An elderly but strong old orc walked up the city’s wall.

“Father.” Haga looked at Taizer, and took two steps forward as he said, “The Sila Tribe has already fallen. The Roth Empire’s army is making its way for us now. I’ve already asked for the Falk Tribe’s help, and I’m planning to be on defense by making use of our geographical advantage as we await reinforcements.”

“I’ve already heard from Habeng.” Taizer nodded, and looked at his composed son gladly. If it had been him, he would have long charged down with the men from the tribe to fight it out with the Roth Empire’s troops at that age.

Haga had a grim cast to his gray eyes as he inched closer to Taizer, and whispered, “The enemy is very strong, way stronger than what we expected.”

“The opponent’s strength is not to be feared. As long as we have our fighting spirit up, we can overcome all enemies,” Taizer told Haga as he looked him in the eye.

“Mm-hm.” Haga nodded as the passionate flames of his fighting spirit burned in his eyes.

Tens of catapults were in place. The giant rocks that were splashed with orc oil glistened under the sun as they were positioned aiming into the sky.

The best hunters in the tribe stood at the city walls with bows in their hands. They were all the best archers in the tribe.

The orcs lined up as they transported the giant rocks to the city wall, forming a little mountain at the city wall.

It was already tried and tested by the ancestors of the Uto Tribe that when standing on the city walls, and making use of the surrounding cliffs, even a giant rock pushed by a child would create more damage to the invader than getting shot by the best archer.

In no time at all, the ground started to shake slightly. Shouts and galloping echoed from the valley afar.

“Get ready for battle!” Haga shouted furiously as he stood on the city wall. He reached to his back to pull out the bow he was carrying, and aimed his arrow at the valley below.

Thousands of archers placed their arrows on their bows at the same time, locking their sight on the valley.

The orcs near the catapults watched Haga, ready for his command.

At the foot of the city wall, thousands of orcs holding knives, stone clubs, and javelins waited for orders.

Way behind were the children and elderly. They looked towards the city wall with equally serious expressions. They did not appear fearful at all.

The hundreds of flying steeds were the first to appear in the field of vision of the Uto Tribe. They were a patch of black flying towards the Uto Tribe.

The wingspan of a metal eagle would stretch from three to five meters. Other than a pair of sharp talons, it did not have any other special abilities. Its speed, agility, and strength were not considered special among the 1st-tier magic beasts. It could only carry one person.

However, it was a very easily tamed 1st-tier magic beast, and that was why it became a highly appreciated flying steed for the Roth Empire’s army. Every troop would have its own group of flying steeds.

The knights were all 4th-tier and above. Be it a diving attack or dropping down into the enemy’s camp, they could bring about significant damage.

“It’s just a small tribe. Brothers, let’s kick their a*s so that the brothers downstairs don’t have to climb that mountain!” The leader of this group of flying steeds was Barlo. He was a big middle-aged man. Barlo scoffed when he saw the Uto Tribe that was situated halfway up the mountain.

“Charge!”

That group of knights manning the flying steeds laughed along.

Ever since they entered the Twilight Forest, they had met with almost no effective resistance. Even they were shocked that such strong orcs could actually be so weak.

The previous orc tribe that they destroyed was way bigger than this. However, with just a few rounds of diving attacks, the morale of the entire tribe was shattered. On top of that, they had the cavalry of the Roth Empire with them. Very quickly, the entire tribe was reduced to a piece of flat land.

This tribe looked even weaker.

The soldiers started their diving attack as a twisted smile hung on their faces. They had already started to imagine how many pretty female orcs they could enjoy before the cavalry arrived.

500 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters…

“Go!”

An angry howl thundered.The source of this content is ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

Flying fireballs rained over from the city wall towards the diving group of flying steeds all of a sudden!
