As daylight dawned, peace finally returned to Iron Felt City. In this battle, the 200,000-man orc vanguard swept through like a whirlwind, wiping out the Black Rock army within the borders.
Half a month later, they marched north again, entered the Black Rock Principality, and began to capture enemy towns one after another, advancing towards Fengyan City, the center of Black Rock.
In Fengyan City, in a luxurious room in the fortress castle.
There were several neatly arranged human-shaped suits of armor around, giant deer antlers hung on the wall, and a man in black armor was walking back and forth on the soft fur carpet.
"waste!"
"That's half a million people! They were gone in just two weeks. Even if they were slaughtering pigs, it wouldn't be that fast, right?"
"If you can't fight, you can't even run away?"
"Sir, nearly 400,000 of them were temporarily recruited... We still have a lot of elite troops left in the country..." The staff member on the side explained nervously, and then looked at the angry warlord cautiously.
"Domestic? Humph, now look what has happened. We finally managed to suppress the Bow Hunters, but after such a crushing defeat, I'm afraid their confidence will surge again, and they'll make a comeback."
"What should we do? Do we have to join forces with those monkeys from the Bow Hunting Sect?"
The warlord slammed the table down hard, and with a loud snap, several cracks appeared on it.
"Perhaps we can seek help from the mages of Lurna? They were the ones who ordered us to attack Clancy. Now that the war is raging, I'm sure they won't stand by and watch us perish."
Exhaling heavily through his nose, the warlord suppressed his unhappiness and raised his hand.
"You contact them. Oh, and call the others too. I can't afford to lose face alone."
"Yes, Lord Xuete." The chief aide slowly left the room and went to contact several other warlord leaders in Fengyan City.

After defeating Black Rock's army, orc reinforcements from the Gufia Grassland began to enter Black Rock's territory and counterattack the enemy.
Of this massive reinforcement force, only the first 200,000 men had relatively complete equipment, while the remaining 600,000 or so had only ordinary weapons. Even so, their sheer numbers and incredibly strong physiques still crushed Black Rock.
After the defeat of Clancy, the Long Spear Faction in Black Rock now has only 200,000 defenders, of which nearly 100,000 are temporary recruits, and only the remaining 100,000 are the guards and elites of the warlords.
As the orc combat troops attacked cities and captured strongholds, they advanced all the way. Now Black Rock kept abandoning cities and shrinking, and finally almost retreated back to Fengyan City.
The situation of the war has reversed dramatically, and now they have to defend the city and resist the enemy's attack.
Outside Fengyan City, gray and white tents were set up one after another. Compared to the uniform order of the Clanthian army, the orcs were much more free and unrestrained. The tents were also of different sizes and colors. Some were brought all the way from the grasslands, some were captured from the enemy, and some were support from Clanthia.
In the central tent, several orc leaders and Klansia officers were discussing the siege.
"This fortress city is easy to defend but difficult to attack." After studying it for a long time, an officer sighed.
"Maybe we need a lot of explosives?"
An alchemist suggested this. As the saying goes, the enemy is the best teacher. Many of them still remember the scene of the fall of the Iron Felt City, and it is a good opportunity to put it to use now.
"But it will take a week to make and mobilize a large amount of explosives from Need County," said the orc leader Leighton.
This orc, known as the 'Sage's Disciple', is now the most sought-after genius among the new generation of orcs, except for the Fire Priestess Nia.
Although Loran Hill had only taught him for less than two months at the time, this relationship was a huge advantage for others, especially now that the Gufia Grassland had been incorporated into Cransia.
"We can't wait any longer. The opportunity for battle is fleeting." A tall, powerful orc placed his hands on the map on the table. His palms were exceptionally large, and his exposed upper body was striped red and black, like a tiger, with well-defined muscles and veins like a python.
"Lord Fengchi, what do you want?" The shaman on the side looked at the chief of the Tiger Head Tribe, who was also the leader of the Red Stripe Tribe.
"Let me lead the way for everyone." There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.
The next day, early morning.
The battle began while the mountains and fields were still shrouded in white fog.
One by one, the orcs held up their makeshift wooden shields and charged towards the city of Fengyan. Their black armor reflected a faint golden light in the morning light, like a black and gold torrent pouring down from the mountains.
The most conspicuous among this group of orcs was undoubtedly the leading 'Tiger', War Sequence 8··Fierce Claw. He galloped in the morning light, the violent magic power on the surface of his body boiling and burning, as if it were substantial.
As the golden-red flame continued to breathe, his body grew bigger and bigger, his muscles became thicker and his blood vessels became like chicken eggs, and the soldiers behind him looked shorter and shorter against his backdrop.
In the end, the orc soldier, over two meters tall, could only barely reach his ankles, and his standing figure was like a giant wrapped in flames. It brought a huge sense of oppression to the defenders of the fortress, making them tremble with fear and unable to help but sit on the ground.
roar--
The sound was like thunder rolling across the earth, awakening the deepest fear in everyone's heart. The sound waves advanced layer by layer like substance, breaking the battlements and directly blowing the soldiers on the city wall up and hitting the stone wall behind, turning them into bloody mud.
The top combat force second only to Sequence 9, shocked everyone from the moment he appeared.
"Fire, fire!" The commander of the Black Rock defenders shouted anxiously, waking up the frightened soldiers one by one and asking them to start attacking.
