Evé had never forgotten the formidable might of the Crypt Spiders.
In fact, Rose, the legendary Spider Queen, along with her two thousand Crypt Spider broods, would be a force to be reckoned with in this war.
Perhaps during the day, the crypt spider’s strength would be greatly limited.
But as soon as the sun sets and dusk arrives, their strength will return to its peak, making them a dangerous force to contend with especially during the night.
Although Eve’s main forces are primarily composed of over ten thousand players who had reached the Iron-Rank, their side seed quite inadequate compared to the Orc army with more than twenty Silver-ranked individuals, ten Behemoths, and two Golden-rank practitioners.
Therefore, in order for her to win, so outside support was necessary.
Henceforth, this is where Rose and her swarm of crypt spiders cos into picture.
“Holy shit! The Spider Queen is also here to support us!”
“Hahaha! This ti, its the Orcs turn to enjoy the feeling of being skewered like barbecue sticks.”
Atop the castle walls, first and second-beta players watched with glee as the raid support cavalry and the incoming swarm of Crypt Spiders decimated the Orc army on the foot of the hill.
anwhile, the Black Dragon was also equally impressed by this turn of events. With the Behemoths being away from his castle, ryer’s courage finally grew back once more.
With those Behemoths montarily out of the picture, ryer excitedly roared and once again, spread his wings and soared into the sky.
“Ruuahh! Evil Orcs! Prepare to face the righteous dragon breath of this lord!”
ryer, the black dragon shouted enthusiastically while spewing dragon breath at the Orcs who were scaling up the walls, as if finally venting the pent-up frustration the dragon had harbored since his earlier actions of running away from the Behemoths.
As ryer began his counterattack, the cavalry too began their charge once more.
At the sa ti, a large group of Crypt Spiders also rushed towards the Orc Army, leaving them completely blindsided by this sudden turn of events.
“T-Those are…Crypt Spiders from the underground!”
King Imsh’s pupils slightly constricted, with his expression showing a look of surprise.
“Just why did these Crypt Spiders suddenly co out here?”
“W-Wait…I rember there were also so elves that’s riding on so crypt spiders from the cavalry earlier….so they must be sohow connected!”
“Great Father Above! How did these underground Crypt Spiders form an alliance with the elves?”
King Imsh’s expression grew even more complicated.
Yet soon, his troubled expression turned even worse.
If they only had to contend with the elves alone, then King Imsh was confident that their side would erge victorious in this war. However, the sudden appearance of these over ten thousand Crypt Spiders had completely changed everything…
As it stands, the tide of the battle is now against their favor with the inclusion of these eight-legged swarm as their enemies!
Moreover, even though most of these Crypt Spiders had much lower strength, and many were even much weaker than the elves, the re fact was that there is just far too many of them…
And more importantly, there was also that one gargantuan Crypt Spider that’s apparently the leader of this swarm, which was several dozens of ters in size!
This monstrous eight-legged giant is currently rampaging through the battlefield, using its long, sharp tallic legs to impale all of the Orcs it encountered along its way.
Seeing this wanton massacre of his soldiers, left King Imsh utterly dumbfounded.
Suddenly, the gargantuan spider seed to had sensed his stare and its huge head slowly turned towards him.
King Imsh: “….”
—Death.
That the only word the Orc King could’ve think of in his mind right now as eight large ominous crimson eyes zeroed in specifically onto him.
Ti seed to crawl into a halt as the Orc King stood petrified against the deathly stare of the colossal monstrosity before him.
Slowly, its massive body then began to turn in his direction as the massive spider screeched out loud and charged towards where he stood.
Imsh was utterly horrified, and the Behemoth he’s riding with tried roaring as Gor tried to resist the incoming attack.
—However, its actions were completely ineffective.
The gargantuan spider easily caught Gor, and its two sharp tallic front legs had pierced through the Behemoth’s chest with deathly precision, before biting the Orc King’s mount in one bite with its terrifying huge fangs.
King Imsh swiftly fell off his mount and roared in utmost fury, raising his longsword to strike at the Spider Queen, yet his attack only produced a tiny spark when his weapon hit the gargantuan spider’s thick tallic carapace.
“L-Legendary! This is definitely a legendary magical beast!”
King Imsh’s face turned ashen as all colors drained from his face.
This eight-legged monstrosity was way beyond his capabilities as a re Golden-ranker and he had no ti to consider anything else, but to let his primal instincts took over and escape while he still can.
For the very first ti since the war started, the mighty Orc King felt panic entirely gripped his entire being as he flee whilst listening to his mount’s agonizing screams behind him.
Subconsciously, Imsh tried to look back, only to be horrified as Gor’s huge body rapidly turned pitch black.
The venom of the Spider Queen had gotten into him!
In a matter of seconds, Gor, leader of the Behemoths, had withered into a gigantic desiccated corpse, while completely being absorbed by the colossal spider frpm its mouth.
Witnessing such a grotesque and unbelievable scene, the Orcs’ morale finally crumbled.
“Monster! It’s a monster!!”
Each Orcs looked horrified and disoriented as the crunching sounds of the remains of the Orc King’s mount echoes within the vicinity.
Gor, the powerful mount of the Orc King and the leader of the Behemoths, had fallen in battle.
anwhile, King Imsh fell to the ground seemingly in disbelief, with his fate uncertain.
In this chaotic battlefield, it was as if the commanding flag had fallen.
At least, for the Orcs besieging the castle, it felt that way.
Many Orcs had witnessed this scene, and their morale, which had already started to decline with the sudden appearance of the Elven Cavalry and Crypt Spiders, further plumted even more.
At that mont, many Orcs lost their will to fight and started to voluntarily descend from the castle walls.
Even the Orcs down below that’s attacking the castle’s gates showed signs of retreating.
Furthermore, so of the Orcs stationed at the distance, thought that their king had perished, so as a result, a significant number of them beca confused and started fleeing in various directions.
Overall, the entire orc army had finally began to collapse!
Seeing this turn of events, Tomato eyes brightened up as he shouted to his cavalry,
“They’re collapsing! Everyone, keep charging! Follow the Crypt Spiders and let’s finish them off!”
“Haha! EXP here we co! Were ’bout to farm lots of EXP!”
“Charge!”
“Uraaaah!”
The cavalry players cheered and followed the swarm of Crypt Spiders to pursue the fleeing Orcs.
Seeing the Orcs in disarray, the players stationed on the castle walls also felt invigorated.
They shouted and waved their weapons up high as they rushed forward, using the ladders left behind by the retreating Orcs to climb down the walls and also engage in hot pursuit.
In that instant, the tide of the battle had completely turned towards the elves favor.
Even the Black Dragon, excitedly let out a long roar and boldly flew out of the castle.
With his eyes red and teeth bared, ryer targeted the remaining Behemoths. With the assistance of other players, he started to beat down these formidable enemies that had once humiliated him.
The Orc’s defeat was like a mountain falling!
What had previously occurred with the Human Crocodile rcenary Group was now being replayed at Black Dragon Castle. However, this ti, it was the Orcs’ turn, on a larger scale and with a more spectacular scene.
Even though there were still more than ten silver-ranked individuals among the Orcs, ultimately, they are left incapable of launching a counteroffensive since their entire army had already collapsed by this point…
At most, these ten individuals can only roar angrily and kill so of the elves that tried to approach them.
However, after killing so many elves, these bizarre elves no longer looked for them, and avoided them one after another as they then tried to focus on eliminating the fleeing Orcs on the distance instead…
In any case, even if they sohow miraculously survived, these ten silver-rank orcs also understood that the situation is practically over at this point.
They had lost.
Reinforcents from the elves have arrived, including the crypt spiders with terrifying legendary strength. With their totem guardians still trapped within that cage of vines, the orcs in the end had no way of reversing this situation.
Not to ntion, the morale of the entire army has now completely collapsed, resulting in the decrease of their side’s overall combat effectiveness…
Many Orcs, despite having stronger individual strength, lost their composure due to fear and were killed by those much weaker Elves.
And these bizarre Elves had taken full advantage of the chaos and gone completely berserk, unlike the Orcs who had lost their composure entirely, resulting in them being killed one after another…
The elves previous battles with the Crocodile rcenary Group had given them a significant amount of experience in large-scale warfare and the players knew that, in a war that had lasted this long, the mont when they could gain the most EXP had finally arrived!
With the enemy in disarray, it’s the best ti to beat the drowned dog! ¹
At this mont, as long as they had the courage, even a lower ranked player can defeat an Iron-ranked Orc, if the said Orc had sohow threw off their armor.
After all, an Orc who had lost their fighting spirit was practically an easy target, akin to a moving EXP points!
For a while, the players’ breathing beca much heavier at the glorious sight of nurous fleeing EXP points (Orcs.)
Even so usually reserved female players were now emboldened to take risks. They scread with high-pitched voices, while wildly swinging their weapons at the fleeing Orcs.
The entire battlefield succumbed into chaos.
“Chief Shaman! Chief Shaman! We’ve been defeated! The entire army had collapsed! Let’s also run away quickly!” A few Orc shamans said in a panicked tone after they’ve found their chief, who was sitting alone on the ground.
“Defeated, you say…”
The Chief Shaman’s expression surprisingly didn’t show any signs of panic at all; on the contrary, her deanor exuded an eerily calm despite the tumultuous collapse of their forces.
She then cast a fleeting glance across the chaotic battleground, with her lips moving in whispered incantations, before taking out the blood-red skull necklace from her grasp…
