"We must find a way to stop the orcs from breaking through before they can regroup," Liu Nian thought to himself, looking at the unstoppable orcs in front of him.
The grenade tucked into his waistband caught Liu Nian's attention; the Slowing Technique was still in effect.
They're not that fast, so let's do that.
Liu Nian frowned, an idea forming in his mind. He pulled out a metal grenade from his waist, decisively pulled the pin, and threw it out.
The orcs seemed to have never seen such a thing before. One agile orc even grabbed the grenade and tried to throw it back, but the grenade exploded in his hand, blowing off several of his fingers.
To be honest, Liu Nian was a little uneasy watching it take the grenade, after all, he had never lost something with such a delay before.
The grenade that exploded in mid-air successfully paralyzed half of the orcs and also inflicted a serious injury on the unfortunate guy.
The fact that injuries reduce maximum health also applies to orcs.
Three seconds of paralysis is enough time for Liu Nian's side to regroup.
Reinstate the slowing technique; always keep your speed under your control.
I was shocked by the shockwave that the warlord suddenly unleashed. It seems that even information gathering can be misleading. I seem to have relied too much on these external factors, which has affected my judgment.
Before the summoned creatures could form an encirclement, Liu Nian used the same trick again, and the corpse explosion once more detonated among the orcs.
"I'll add a few more layers of poison to you," Liu Nian said, taking a few steps back to maintain a safe distance.
This behavior also allowed the orcs to recover from their paralysis prematurely, only to find themselves surrounded by summoned creatures again while they were trying to find the culprit.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Nian used summoning magic to replenish the summoned creatures that had been killed.
The casting time of over nine seconds now feels like an eternity, with too many unknowns that could interrupt the summoning skill.
This problem had been troubling Liu Nian, but fortunately, the orcs on the other side were temporarily powerless to stop Liu Nian from casting the spell, as they were busy breaking free from the encirclement of the summoned creatures.
The endless horde of undead kept them busy, and the numerous debuffs they were afflicted with made their weapons increasingly heavy.
As the summoned creatures are killed, their health points also drop rapidly.
The difference in attack and defense health is too great, which is a gap that Liu Nian cannot bridge at this stage, and it is also the weakness of the entire undead unit.
Fortunately, the orcs were not completely invincible. As their injuries increased, their attack, defense, and health all weakened to some extent, and their stamina was about to plummet.
However, each additional injury cost Liu Nian several times more. The orcs swatted the demon and the black warrior to the ground as easily as swatting mosquitoes. Liu Nian's heart bled as he watched the demon fall.
That was too reckless. Trying to attack a camp of hundreds of orcs by one person is just crazy.
But there's no going back in life, so all we can do now is win this battle!
He has no way to revive the demon unit; every time one dies, there is one less.
As the number of demons on the battlefield gradually decreased, just now another demon was beheaded by an orc.
Even if we win this battle, it will be a Pyrrhic victory!
While mentally calculating gains and losses, hands kept moving, ensuring that all debuffs were properly arranged.
With the demon and the black knight falling, the main vampires could only rely on magical life drain to keep the enemy at bay.
Their claws were utterly ineffective against their defenses; the orc warriors' skin was simply too tough.
After the evil spirit sacrificed itself, Liu Nian became more open-minded. The main source of damage was the poison on the orcs. As long as the poison was still present, the other summoned creatures could be discarded.
Now all we can do is stall for time, preventing them from having time to detoxify, and win when they die from the poison.
At this moment, all of Liu Nian's core units, the vampires, had been killed. The orcs' attacks were so deadly that they were practically fatal to anyone who got hit. This left the other vampires unable to spare any effort to revive their companions.
Liu Nian had no choice but to use up the remaining iron grenades, otherwise the vampires would suffer too many losses, and this situation would lead to defeat.
The vampires then seized this brief opportunity to resurrect their companions.
Both vampires are extremely vulnerable upon resurrection; they are unable to move, making them easy targets for assassination.
The large ghoul was able to fight one of the orc warriors to a standstill; its belly was bulging high, suggesting there was an unfortunate soul inside.
The Abomination was used as a trump card, working alongside the Queen to entangle the Orc Warlord, with cave-dwelling demons providing assistance.
Unfortunately, the spiderweb was destroyed very quickly, so all the cave demons had to be used to stop the overseer.
Apart from the skeleton mages, the skeleton archers were ineffective, their arrows unable to penetrate the orcs' defenses.
Time passed by in a breathtaking manner, with neither side paying attention to the passage of time, as they were both doing their utmost to kill the other's units or prevent themselves from being killed.
One side surrounded them with layers upon layers of defense, while the other side broke through them one by one. In the end, the orcs' stamina couldn't hold out any longer, and they were killed by the combined power of their summoned creatures.
After the orc warriors fell, the remaining orcs were also exhausted and were either poisoned or killed by their summoned creatures.
This boss battle was more thrilling than any previous one, and Tiffany and Liu Nian's mana was completely drained.
If Liu Nian's summoning magic hadn't reached the maximum level, he might not have been able to win this battle.
They poured mana potions indiscriminately, regardless of cost; as long as they could win, these potions were worth the effort.
Now, only the orc overlord remains standing in the center of the battlefield; the rest of the orc warriors have been defeated by Liu Nian's undead army.
After the vampires resurrected their companions one by one, they rejoined the battle.
Overseer Gulu was utterly desperate; his companions had been defeated.
It's ironic that I was defeated by humans, whom I've always looked down on.
It wasn't allowed to struggle for long; soon the vampire drained its blood, ending its sinful life.
Even after the warlord fell, Liu Nian hadn't recovered from the tense atmosphere until the system notification came.

...
There was a long string of sounds behind him, but Liu Nian ignored them and hurriedly stuffed the orc corpses into his spatial storage. It was still dark, and the smell of blood was strong in the area. He didn't want to run into any wild beasts and wanted to get away as soon as possible.
Unable to evacuate in time, Liu Nian had no choice but to spend the night in the orc camp.
Just to be on the safe side, the skeletal war chariot was re-released and used to block the entrance.
Lying directly on the ground, surrounded by vampires, Liu Nian drifted off to sleep peacefully, the faint scent of their bodies accompanying her. Hoping for a good dream, Liu Nian slowly closed her eyes.
