Chapter 22 All-Out Attack
In the empty space of the orc camp, the orc general Gagu looked at the vanguard who had fled back. His already green face turned even greener with anger.
At this moment, the few vanguard soldiers who had escaped back were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied, their green faces filled with terror.
"Cut them all down!"
"No, General, please give us another chance, please..."
Among the kneeling orcs, a slightly older orc rushed out in great fear to plead with Gagu, but was immediately pulled back by several orc guards.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, large swords slashed down on the necks of the orcs.
The green head rolled, and bright red blood splattered.
With a single, seemingly casual remark, Ga Gu decided the fate of these deserters.
This has always been a tradition among orcs towards deserters; they are cruel and tyrannical, treating their enemies as well as their own people.
No orcs mourned for these guys; in fact, many orcs around them gloated over their misfortune.
The three thousand orcs who served as the vanguard all came from the same medium-sized tribe.
Their chieftain volunteered earnestly, finally securing the opportunity to lead the vanguard for his tribe. They thought this was a chance to make a name for themselves, but unexpectedly, it brought them the crisis of extinction.
The three thousand orcs were the entire elite force of that tribe, yet they all perished in the battle they thought they could easily win.
All the orcs could foresee that after the war, this tribe would be swallowed up by other tribes.
However, what Ga Gu said next made those gloating guys' hearts skip a beat.
"Next, which tribe will volunteer to attack and conquer this human city?"
The scene was completely silent. Not a single orc dared to utter a sound, because those present were all intelligent orcs who had all noticed something strange about Blackwater City. The hundred-meter gap in the divine barrier was a meat grinder deliberately left by humans for the orcs.
Upon seeing this, Gagu's already dark green face turned black with rage, and his aura, belonging to the upper-level silver rank, erupted, overturning all the surrounding orcs.
"Bring me my weapons and armor. I, the general, will personally oversee the battle. All tribes, attack!"
"A city defended by no more than a thousand men—I refuse to believe we can't take it today!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the orc tribal leaders became strange.
A thousand people?
Yes!
According to information sent by traitors within the Empire's Ruhr Kingdom, the human garrison in Blackwater City numbered only three thousand.
But all the orcs saw the result of that battle; the city's garrison numbered far more than three thousand.
However, the orcs didn't say anything, but simply moved their troops according to Gagu's instructions.
After all, the other party was a general appointed by the emperor, and these tribal group leaders had no right to refuse his orders.
As for General Gagu, he was well aware that the human garrison in Blackwater City numbered more than three thousand, but so what?
As the first war launched by the Orcish Empire against the tiny human kingdom, the Orcish Empire must win with absolute superiority and completely defeat the inhabitants of the human kingdom psychologically.
Only in that way can the Orcish Empire truly annex the Kingdom of Ruhr, and only then can the so-called God of Light willingly become a follower of the [Hall of War].
Therefore, the battle of Blackwater City cannot be lost!
The orcs quickly launched a second wave of attacks, with tens of thousands of orc soldiers surging towards Blackwater like a tidal wave.
This scene sent chills down the spines of the Blackwater City defenders, and the timid ones trembled with fear.
But for the players, this scene made them scream with excitement. They were players that Ai had specially selected, players who were extremely passionate about combat.
Faced with the orcs sweeping in like a tidal wave, they felt no fear, only a thirst for war.
No matter how large the orcish tide was, it could only breach the city walls through the gap of less than a hundred meters wide left in the divine barrier.
A thousand players crowded the gap, filled with greed, madness, excitement, and cheers, ready to engage in the ensuing carnage before dying for their lives.
They wanted to vent all the frustration, suffering, and resentment they had experienced in reality on those orcs.
The orcish wave eventually climbed over the wall and collided with the eager players.
Death and flesh intertwine in a frenzied misunderstanding, and with each orc's fall, they become part of the players' fighting force.
The longer players stay on the wall, the more players can cross the threshold that many humans might never be able to overcome in a lifetime.
They reached LV11, entering the mid-tier of Black Iron.
However, as players made breakthroughs, they also began to be troubled by the death penalty.
Even though their strength was much greater than before, they became increasingly cowardly in battle, which allowed the orcs to climb onto the city walls one after another.
Seeing this scene from afar, Gagu became excited, as if he foresaw an imminent victory.
In the Golden Kingdom, Ai frowned slightly as she watched this scene.
His original intention in setting up the death penalty was to prevent players from dying easily and thus increasing his unnecessary expenses.
After all, as the number of players increases, the expenditure he spends on creating bodies for them also continues to rise.
His intention was not to make players fight each other, or to make them hesitant and timid because of fear of death.
Thinking of this, Ai quickly issued a task.
Expansion Pack (1): Orcs - Ultimate Showdown
The evil orcs have launched a full-scale attack on Blackwater City. Brave warriors from another world, please dedicate your hearts to the future of humanity!
From now on, you will receive a corresponding contribution point for each orc you kill.

Silver level - 10000
Enjoy the battle to the fullest!
Upon hearing this news, the players were initially stunned, but then erupted in thunderous cheers.
If before, orcs were merely experience points for players, now they have become the key to wealth!
"Kill! Comrades of the Azure Dragon Group! Kill! Killing one is not a loss, killing two is a bonus!"
The chance to get rich quick in the game is right in front of you!
In the crowd, Feng on Pig's Mouth excitedly looked at the newly popped-up notification and couldn't help but shout out!
He used to be afraid of losing too many levels after dying because he was at a high level, but now it's different. As long as he kills enough orcs, dying is the same as not dying!
Then they saw a guy with a chicken head on his head, who, despite being just a ranger, took the lead and charged at the orcs.
Turning the tide!
Soon, the players, whose strength was at the mid-level of Black Iron, easily dealt with the orcs on the city wall and blocked all the orcs again at the hundred-meter gap in the divine spell.
After going berserk, that chicken-headed player even led a few people to jump off the city wall.
Players at the mid-tier Black Iron level who jump off the city wall will no longer die from the fall as before.
However, the dense swarms of orcs below the city couldn't stand seeing the players so lively and energetic.
Even if players have some skill, they are ultimately no match for four hands, especially hands as big as millstones.
If you're not careful, a pig can be killed instantly by a sudden gust of wind.
