Rise of the Horde

281 Chapter 28With the chaos that was in effect, Khao’khen himself had to participate in person in battle as his proud Drakhars needed the help of the auxiliary Skallsers to repel their foes that was overrunning their formation where gaps were created within their formation for their enemies to take advantage of. The hep that the Skallsers had provide was a big help for the Drakhars on the main street of the town while they were recovering their formation, “Push forward! Don’t let them be! Push them back!” he rallied as to reinvigorated his troops to keep on fighting despite the losses that they have suffered due to the previous encounter that they have been subjected to.

The Skallsers took most of the brunt of the encounter because when they began to join the fight, they have continued to be on the frontline ever since. All the Skallsers began creating chaos among the ranks of their foes while the Drakhars were trying their best to restore their formation and get back into the fighting style that they were used to. The forest of spears that the Drakhars so wanted to restore finally came bac into effect as they marched forward with their spears forwards and ready to skewer anyone who was foolish enough to stand in their way.

With skirmishes breaking all over the town, the Skallsers were the ones who took charge if everything as they were the ones at the thickest of the battle. The Drakhars who were almost without no contest in a pitch battle were restricted in the urban battlefield that they were now subjected to as their formation were rendered ineffective in the narrowness of the town. The Skallsers who were used to fight in a more chaotic battlefield and in one on ones were the ones who were more effective in the current situation that they are in.

Try as he might, Khao’khen couldn’t get the Drakhars to contest efficiently against the stronger Ereian who were between the Third and Fourth Realm of Power who were too much for the Drakhars to go head-to-head against even with their formation. “Push them back! Don’t give them ground” some of the Drakhars screamed as they tried to retain the ground that they have lost to their enemies after the trouble that they have been subjected to.

The Drakhars started pushing back their foes with the help of Skallsers at the frontline who were creating chaos in their advantage despite the losses that they have sustained. With the help of the Skallsers the Drakhars managed to successfully eliminate the foes who were within their ranks. “Drive them back!” some of them cried out as they shoved their shields against the faces of those of their foes as they retained their morale.

With the Skallsers pushing forward the Ereians, everything went south for the coalition of the bandits who were trying their best to overpower their newfound foes who were tougher than anyone that they have ever encountered. Almost everything went south for the Ereian as the only ones who were holding the ground for them were the stronger ones who were able to fight back against the brute force of the orcs even with their battle energy.

“Kill them! Take their head!” that was the cry that was common among the Skallsers as they slumbered forward to take on their next foes after scattering the brains of their previous foe. With the orcs threatening the life of their foes which caused most of them to exercise caution in proceeding forward as no one would want to combat the orcs who seemed to be adamant in shattering the skulls of their enemies.

“Move forward!” Khao’khen cried out while pushing the back of the nearest to him to make them move forward. Adhalia by his side had taken out three of their foes that managed to get through the formation of the Drakhars with the help of her feeble battle energy.

The skirmishes breaking all over the town wrecked many buildings all over the town especially with presence of the orcs who were capable of going through buildings that were weak in their foundations. The ogres were still yet to join the battle but the destruction that the town was subjected to already was more than enough of destruction in normal sieges.

.....

Atef was watching in the sidelines and waiting for an opportunity to slip by their new foes, he was planning to exit the town when the gates would be most least defended but he had hesitations in going against the ones guarding the gates, as the towering sizes of the ogres were enough to make him have second thoughts of going forward with his plan. He was a window side as he while watching the chaos that was going on downstairs and he was thankful that their position wasn’t compromised and were yet to be found out by the orcs who went charging through the walls of the nearby buildings. Some of his allies were already positioned along the stairs to the floor that they were in but thankfully no orc had chosen the building that they were in.

Blades of battle energy came flying but the orcs who were at the receiving end of it managed to shrug it off as there was less power upon the attacks than normal ones did which allowed them to retain their combat ability. Close to more than three hundred Ereians in different huddles managed to staved off the attacks of the combined efforts from the Skallsers and the Drakhars with the primary defenders, the high-powered combatants of their groups who were within the range of Third or Fifth Realm of Power.

Orcs were born with immense strength than others and the only ones who can best them when it comes to strength would be the ogres and the taurens but there were more creatures that are capable of contesting against their inborn strength or outright overpower the. Dragonbornes and giants were some of the ones who can easily overpower them when it comes to brute strength while dwarves, elves and humans were somewhat capable of fighting against their strength depending on their innate gift except for the dwarves who were known to possess almost the same ridiculous strength to the orcs before they were even birthed.

Equip with their natural gift of immense strength and the inborne lust for battle, orcs waged war everywhere and anywhere that was possible which in turn caused their population to suffer a lot but luckily they were gifted with the capability to be able to copulate wit almost any humanoid creature possible. Orcs can mate with elves but the trait of the elves being low in fertility rate would always be carried even elves with elves would always have low fertility rate no matter what which was both a curse and a blessing to their race. The low fertility rate of the elves was the one that gave rise to what was called the new race of elves which was the dark elves who worships the goddess of lust in exchange for higher fertility rate and they succeeded in doing so as at one time, dark elves shadowed the number of elves but after the previous catastrophe they went into hiding.

Humans were the most dominant race in Azgalor occupying more than thirty percent of the total population of the world which resulted in many kingdoms and empire being ruled by them. Five legitimate empires were run by the human race and some wannabe empires were also in the mix while numerous kingdoms, unions, federations and other sort of monarchy came into fruition under their watch.

Khao’khen still had no idea but the lands that he has seen were but a fraction of the entire world of Azgalor and he was still far away from rubbing shoulders against the real powers of the current world that he was in. The ones that he was up against were but just babies when compare to the real powers of Azgalor as he was still trapped in an island that had no connection to the vast world outside beyond the waters that he knows.

“Take them down! No mercy for those who don’t want to submit!” the Drakhars cried out after recovering their morale with the help of the Skallsers who did most of the heavy lifting in the battle. Reinvigorated and adamant in recovering the prestige that they have lost, the Drakhars charged forward with more vigor as they cut down their foes with their recovered formation without an ounce of mercy. The Drakhars looked like a meat grinder from up above as they mowed through the lines of the Ereians who were trying their best just to survive the encounter.

Small groups of resistance formed up all over the town with some taking refuge upon more durable buildings to reserve their strength while their foes tried to overrun them or outright collapse the building that they were in. The Skallsers were the ones who were first up in trying to bring down the building where their foes took refuge at but their strength wasn’t enough to bring the building down.
