On the city wall, the magician’s face was gloomy: "That brainless fool, damn it, so easily got himself killed."
The head on the magician’s right side sneered: "He was a fool with just one brain, barely reaching the world-level was already his peak. His mount was tricked but he didn’t retreat, stupidly charged forward, and ended up being killed by the sa move. Such an idiot deserves no pity."
The other two-headed ogres, although angry, also thought the cavalry leader was too stupid. As a cavalry leader, he relied on his mount even as a world-level chief; the mount accounted for at least a third of his combat power. Losing the mount and still being so reckless, he deserved no pity.
Now killed by a camp-level worm, even his death wasn’t significant, but he disgraced them, so how could they not be infuriated?
"Retreat, prepare for the wall battle, the barrier can’t be maintained," ordered the Ogre Sorcerer.
As the longest-living elder among the ogres, he was hailed as the star of wisdom among ogres, the morning star in the dark, the navigator in the fog, with countless halos and titles.
His words were like an imperial decree among the ogres, and no one defied him in the slightest. He had led the ogres through their darkest tis to glory.
"Damn it, didn’t expect these recruits to have such tactics." The ogre commander punched the wall, very unwilling. He thought the barrier alone would force the ridiculous new recruit united army to retreat, stopping them from advancing, but the proud barrier blocked the enemy for less than two hours.
The magician paused with the magic wand: "I’ll say it again, this Prairie Fire is different from other recruits. Treat him as a real opponent, not just a recruit. He dared to use one warship to cause chaos among the lizardn, even humiliated a demigod, destroyed the foundation under the demigod’s nose, and retreated without interference. The potential energy is beyond your imagination."
"It’s still hard for to believe." The ogre commander’s expression was conflicted.
"Nor do I, but the fact is, he has superpowers following him. In a one-on-one fight, not only you but even I might not be sure of winning. However, the advantage is still on our side. We have significantly more strong individuals and trump cards. Prairie Fire is strong, but one person can’t decide the outco of a race war. Our ace lion is incomparable to these new recruit legions."
The magician discouraged everyone, then began to speak of their own advantages, firming their confidence.
Li Yao withdrew his gaze and said plainly: "This Ogre Sorcerer indeed has so skill. I underestimated him, thinking he was just an old fool who only knew how to eat."
"Hmm, this ogre indeed has tactics," Instant Transformation also nodded in agreent.
"Is it impressive to be able to see what the other side is saying?" Sea Sky mumbled.
Instant Transformation laughed: "Don’t think I don’t know, you have eye equipnt too. It’s not that your eyesight is bad, but you can’t understand what they’re saying just by reading lips, right?"
"Cough, cough, I swapped it out." Sea Sky covered up.
"Telling lies," Li Yao shook his head slightly: "The other side wants to retreat, but how can we let them have their way? Since they dared to co out, let them all stay."
As Li Yao spoke, three portals appeared in three directions on the ogre cavalry formation, and countless worms poured out to intercept the cavalry’s retreat.
"Damn it, we can’t retreat, should we send soone to rescue?" The ogre commander was furious.
The magician sneered: "Send troops to rescue? Sure, but how many? Prairie Fire just wants us to send soone to rescue. You an to give up the advantage of the city wall and fight in the field?"
The commander was sweating profusely. Doing so would cost more lives, but watching their kin fight to the death was sothing many ogres couldn’t accept.
"Keep your heads up, this is just a minor setback. Now is not the ti to rush out. Let’s wait until they are exhausted from the siege and have a scattered morale, then we’ll go out and take back thousands of tis more. They died for a cause, let us know the enemy’s strength should not be underestimated."
Seeing that everyone was still lowering their heads, the magician said with bitter disappointnt: "You bunch of fools, can’t you see that these worms can only fight on land, they can’t siege? Their role in the siege is minimal. Besides Prairie Fire’s army, how could they break through our defenses?"
The crowd finally understood the magician’s point. Indeed, no matter how strong these worms were, if they couldn’t siege, what use were they?
"Was it really seen through?" Instant Transformation shook his head slightly.
Li Yao shrugged: "I never expected the Worm Tribe to siege. Otherwise, what’s the point of having so many siege machines? My two army units have been preparing for days to make up for this shortfall."
In the distant battlefield, under the encirclent of the Worm Tribe, despite the significant casualties, they finally annihilated the surrounded cavalry.
Moreover, the Worm Tribe, now exposed and not hiding, began to dispatch forces to eliminate other ogre troops. If the cavalry couldn’t compete, how could any elite force, constantly being consud by the Worm Tribe?
In fact, with the barrier down, from the mont those ogres ca out, they were destined to die. The magician knew this, but of course, he wouldn’t reveal this brutal reality.
Even if they broke the sealing pillar, they wouldn’t return. The city gates could never open. From the start to the end, the magician used these soldiers to test, to test the main force players’ level, to test Li Yao’s personal legion’s level.
He never expected a single barrier to ward off all threats, which wasn’t realistic, especially after witnessing Li Yao wreak havoc in the Lizardn’s Main City, but he wouldn’t speak of these either.
Unlike other ogres who shouted in anger, the magician just watched his troops being gradually consud with indifference. His pursuit was ultimate victory.
"Thank you, great Prairie Fire, for helping increase my power," Blood Rose said sincerely as she approached Li Yao and the others, noting only Li Yao could generously give away the kill of a world-level boss.
Li Yao shook his head: "It’s because your profession is strong enough, otherwise such opportunities would be useless to others."
"Anyway, still thank you, great one," Blood Rose continued: "I, Blood Rose, never owe kindness. In this battle, our rcenary group will fight with all our might, or rather, if you have any tasks for us, no matter how dangerous, we’ll take them."
"Good, straightforward," Li Yao smiled: "I do have a task filled with challenges. However, my chanical avatar will accompany you. Assist in completing this task, and your military rits will absolutely match the level of a large guild’s final military rits."...
