Rise of the Horde

Chapter 166: Chapter 16

Xiao Chen’s nose was assaulted by the pungent smell of blood. It was making him nauseous since the scent of blood was too strong much stronger than the one being emitted by the pool of the Bloodpool Goblins. There was also a distinct smell that he doesn’t know what exactly it was but it was making his stomach churn.

The old man strolled on the battlefield nonchalantly and all the dark creatures that charged at him were erased from existence with just a wave of his wooden staff,yes they were erased, there very being was devoured by the surrounding energies.

“Drekkai, go on and close that portal.” the old man muttered as he pointed his staff at the huge hole that was swirling with turbulent energies. The powerful female orc nodded her head and charged forward towards the huge portal covered in her enormous avatar that crushed anyone on her path by just simply stepping on them or swatting them away with her huge figure.

Xiao Chen felt nervous when the powerful old man turned his attention to him. He felt his heart drumming against his chest like it would leap out of its confines at any moment. His palms turned like that of a spring as it was covered in a lot of sweat and even his forehead turned like a waterfall as huge beads of sweat flowed down his face.

“And you. Go back to where you came from, as you don’t belong here. Go back in your own place and in your own time.” he whispered, but his words felt like it was a shout to Xiao Chen’s ears. The voice of the old man thundered in his ears, then he felt a very heavy and oppressive feeling in the sky. Craning his head up, he saw the sky being torn apart by an enormous pair of hands. “So one of the generals came...” the old man whispered, then he took off towards the sky. _{????????????????????????d. ᴄ????????}

Xiao Chen wanted to find more about what is going to happen next but he was denied of it. His vision turned around and he felt really dizzy. He clutched his head with both hands and his weapon dropped to the ground with a loud clank as his spear bounced off the rocky floor.

“Chief! What happened?” Draegh’ana held his cheeks with both of her hands as he looked at his face worriedly. Xiao Chen was finally able to regain his bearings as his spinning vision settled down, but what he saw made him reel back in surprise. Draegh’ana’s face was too close to his, way too close. He backed away from the worried female orc, then turned around to pick up his spear. “I am fine, I just a memory or a vision.” he muttered in a low voice as he still doesn’t know did he really saw.

.....

Looking around, he spotted the little Grogus trying to pry out something from the statue that was there. The little goblin was trying to take out the eyes of the statue, which finally lost its color. It took him a few moments, but Grogus was finally able to pry out the eyes of the statue with his knife. Grogus jumped down from the statue, which shattered to many pieces after he landed on the ground.

“Whats that?” Xiao Chen can’t help ask as he was puzzled by the reason that Grougus specifically took the eyes of the statue and nothing else. “Good stones,chief...sparkly.” Grogus replied as he presented the two black gems to their chieftain. Xiao Chen facepalmed at the reason of Grogus. He was expecting something else, like it is something useful or powerful. That’s why he took it and not because of them simply being sparkly.

The sudden completion of one of Xiao Chen’s mission caught his attention, and it being completed out of nowhere throughly confused him. He was expecting a reward, any reward that he would receive, but the reward remained unknown. Annoyed by the development of the situation, he cussed inside his mind before turning around to leave the undergrounds of the altar.

Upon turning around, a new notification popped in his panel, which notified him of a mission.

*Destroy the Bloodpool Goblins’ Altar {Optional Mission}

Reward : 8000 points

“Eight thousand... hmmm... Better than nothing.” he softly whispered and headed towards one of the pillars that he could see. “Draegh’ana, Adhalia and Grogus, go out first. I’ll be bringing this entire place down.” he shouted and slammed his spear against the pillar. Both his weapon and the pillar cracked with how powerful his strike was.

His three companions just nodded their head and went out first of the underground while still maintaining a minimum level of alertness just in case something suddenly pops up on them on their way out. All the traps have already been triggered by them when they went in.

Loud sounds of demolition echoed throughout the undergrounds as Xiao Chen used all his strength in all of his swings. He was demolishing all the pillars that he could find while slowly making his way out. The inner parts of the underground already collapsed after losing their support.

“Sheesh... I really need a new weapon.” Xiao Chen muttered as he stared at his now destroyed weapon. The head of his crescent-moon spear was no more and the only thing in his hands was its long and thick shaft. Shaking his head, he didn’t let up and continued to hammer the pillar with what remained of his weapon.

It took Xiao Chen for a while to complete his demolition job and after making his exit. The entire undergrounds of the altar finally fully collapsed behind him. All the blood that was gathered in the pool spilled over on the grounds as they slowly trickled down into the ground and flooding the place where he was at a few moments ago.

“Chief, they really need a bath. They reek too much of the goblins’s sem*n and other stuff.” Galum’nor softly whispered to Xiao Chen’s ears as he glanced at the dirt covered women that they just rescued. Xiao Chen noticed that all of his warriors were keeping a good distance between them and the women that they just rescued. Many of the women that they rescued were beautiful beyond belief, but the strong odor that was being emitted from their bodies would repel anyone away except for those who would just come to breed them like the Bloodpool Goblins.

“There is a small stream up ahead that he passed by. We can use that place to let the women clean themselves up and maybe also to freshen ourselves.” Xiao Chen suggested as he took a sniff of his own body to which he scrunched his nose at the unpleasant smell that he smelled. He reek of sweat and blood.

“How many women are there? Did you count their numbers?” Xiao Chen turned his head and faced the huge orc who was beside him. “Yes, chief, I counted them. There are a hundred and thirty-two of them. According to their stories, they weren’t all gathered at once. Many of them were in the middle of moving from one place to another during the Season of Damnation, but were left behind by their peers because of various reasons. And the elves and humans, they belonged to a merchant to be traded to the sand people but were ambushed by the Bloodpool Goblins.” Galum’nor reported his findings, which surprised Xiao Chen. ‘Since when was the muscle brain meticulous and do things on his own initiative’ he thought, but he let it go as it might just be one of the rare occasions that Galum’nor uses his brains than his muscles.

Xiao Chen understood why the Bloodpool Goblins were so numerous. They were able to rescue a hundred and thirty-two of them and add all the corpses that he saw. The Bloodpool Goblins had a lot of breeding partners.

According to what he knows of this world, goblin babies only need a month before they are born, then about two weeks before they fully mature. If more than a hundred women get pregnant at the same time, then in two weeks there would be a hundred more warriors for their tribe and within a few months, their numbers would easily swell into the high thousands.

“Adhalia and Draegh’ana, go and help the women later to clean themselves. And Aro’shanna, keep Grogus away from the women since they might be still traumatized by what they just went through and I don’t want Grogus to be mistaken as a member of our previous foes. Keep him away from them, especially the rescued female orcs and elves.” Xiao Chen barked out his orders, then took the lead out of the territory of the now non-existent Bloodpool Goblins.
