Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 878 - 173: Ambushed (Part 2)

As the verdant ghostly light faded, and Lin Rui finally made out the situation before him, he was suddenly taken aback by the blood and mountains of corpses that unfolded before his eyes.

On the battlefield, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, with only occasional lightning bolts illuminating this land shrouded in death. A chilling wind, thick with the scent of blood and scorched earth, swept over the battlefield, brushing against the scattered bodies and discarded weapons, eliciting an eerie moaning sound.

Across this vast battlefield, the green-skinned orcs' bodies were piled like mountains, their green blood mixed with the soil, forming patches of marsh on the cold ground. Trees and grass in the distance were affected by the battle, with branches broken and litter scattered everywhere.

At the center of the battlefield, amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a massive blood-colored demon shadow stood, like an insurmountable peak. Its form was enshrouded in a thick bloody mist, making it impossible to discern its true appearance, though one could faintly see a pair of glowing blood-red eyes, exuding endless slaughter and frenzy.

The figure of the blood-colored demon shadow was tall and muscular, its muscles glistening coldly under the moonlight, as if forged from countless lives' blood. It wielded a massive blood-colored longsword, its blade emanating an aura of death, with droplets of fresh blood falling from the sword tip, pooling on the ground to form a winding stream.

When the blood-colored demon shadow swung its longsword, it seemed as if the surrounding air was torn apart by its immense power, emitting a sharp whistle. With every sword swing, countless green-skinned orcs fell into pools of blood, their lives appearing so fragile and insignificant in the face of the blood-colored demon shadow.

It wasn't just the green-skinned orcs; the entire world trembled under the devastation of the blood-colored demon shadow's sword qi. When he swung that immense blood-colored longsword, the sky seemed to be torn apart by its power, raining down flaming meteors. Each bead of fiery rain was like a blazing comet, crashing to the earth with destructive force, reducing all life and matter to ashes.

The earth shook violently under the blood-colored demon shadow's sword qi, like an enraged giant beast in struggle. Huge cracks spread across the surface, spewing hot lava. The lava flowed like fiery rivers across the battlefield, consuming everything in its scorching embrace. On the scorched earth, corpses piled like mountains, with blood forming streams that flowed into the distance. The air was filled with the nauseating scent of blood and death, sending shivers down one's spine.

Mountains and forests crumbled under this destructive force, with boulders rolling down and trees uprooted. The entire world seemed to tremble and wail under the sword qi of the blood-colored demon shadow, unable to bear the weight.

Amidst this endless destruction and slaughter, the figure of the blood-colored demon shadow seemed all the more tall and terrifying. His eyes flickered with ghostly light, like a demon from the abyss, filled with endless frenzy and murderous desire against all living things.

Faced with such an opponent, even the mightiest warriors would feel powerless and despairing. Yet, on this battlefield shrouded in death, there still existed some unyielding souls persisting in battle, proving the existence of life's force and hope to the world with their courage and lives. Their blood fell on the scorched earth, vanishing along with the surrounding corpses. Yet they continued to roar and charge towards the towering demon shadow in the battlefield's center. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Fortunately, before teleporting, Lin Rui had cast shields on both himself and Audrey; the Sub-Invincible Shield activated, blocking the frosty residual sword qi in the air and the numerous meteor showers descending from the sky.

Audrey was not in a good state and asked, "Father, weren't we here to encircle and kill the blood-colored demon shadow? What is going on? What are these orcs doing, coming in droves to cause trouble?"

At this moment, Shadow Moon's furious voice came from the battlefield: "Academy, you've gone too far! You've plotted against us elves!"

Gulian, who was hiding behind a massive protective shield with his hundreds of mages and human angels, coldly said, "Too far? Fool! The plotting was precisely against you elves. Do you really think our academy knows nothing about your empress's intrigue? Then see how your strongest elves die at Blood Horn Mountain, and how your empress will proceed with her ambitious plans!"

Goodness, barely arriving at the battlefield, and already encountering a colossal fireworks display.

The strongest leader on their side was schemed against by allies, and the strong figures of both camps were opposing each other!

Audrey, a bit alarmed, asked, "Blood Horn Mountain. Why does this name sound familiar? Father, do you remember anything?"

Lin Rui calmly replied, "Orcs' base, gathering place for the Uprising Army, a severe concern for the Academy. We have a mission to escort the Book of the Dead to Blood Horn Mountain and contact the orcs. There's a high probability of initiating the war between the Beastman Uprising Army and the Academy."

Audrey's eyes widened instantly, "I remember now, we just entered this world when the plane war began, and obtained an item after killing Matthew. Could it be that the plane war started here, and it might also end here? How could the blood-colored demon shadow be here?"

Lin Rui analyzed, "Nine out of ten, it's the Academy's conspiracy, they lured the blood-colored demon shadow here to use it to eradicate the orc threat."

The orcs are very straightforward, and with such immense combat power, even above Tier Thirteen, they would surely think this was a weapon of the Academy, as only the Academy has beings surpassing Tier Thirteen.

That's why the orcs charge forward, fighting to the death and standing firm in battle, knowing full well they are doomed, yet refuse to retreat. They do this for their descendants, so they're no longer enslaved, using blood and flesh as their language. The cost of freedom is a generation, the cost of slavery extends across many generations, passing down through time!

Orcs will never be slaves; here they use blood and flesh instead of words.

Lin Rui sighed, "Indeed, people's sorrows are not the same. Some have already ascended to royal power, ruling over all, yet they're still unsatisfied, pushing the world to ruin. Others, despite being humble and reduced to slavery, still give their all, striving to offer a better tomorrow for their descendants."

Yet they have no idea, their sacrifice and fight to the death are wholly meaningless. Once the Plane Crystal Core is taken away, even if they win against the Academy and force them to compromise, their descendants' future won't be as good as their present.

Ignorant orcs, shedding blood for a future with no hope at all.

Amidst this, Shadow Moon's angry scolding resounded across the battlefield: "Aren't you afraid of the blood-colored demon shadow going berserk by nurturing it with blood aura like this?"

Gulian coldly replied, "You're about to die, no need to worry about this! Since we could lure it here, we also have the assurance to execute it! The Ancient Saint Great Mage, being the strongest in this world, naturally can control it."

Upon finishing, Gulian turned to look at Lin Rui, his gaze filled with murderous intent: "Once this pesky Elf Giantess is dead, it'll be your turn next!"

Audrey stomped angrily, "Damn it! Indeed a treacherous old mage; loading yourself with intelligence just makes you a natural conspirator! Indeed, is the Elf Giantess in matters of conspiracy not a match for the old mages?"

Of course, Shadow Moon could hear Audrey's complaints of her being physically strong but simple-minded, with some anger, she swept her gaze over the Academy people hiding behind bright light and shields, asking, "Do you think your conspiracy is bound to succeed? This Shadow Sky Curtain, if we can open, we can naturally withdraw at any time!"

Faraday spat venomously, "You're long past the point of withdrawal! Don't think only you elves have Mythical Level artifacts! We humans also have the Divine Arena, no one leaves until life and death are decided!"

Audrey immediately guessed it and said, "It's the artifact humans used to plot against me before! Father, what should we do?"

Lin Rui calmly cast several layers of shields on their side, saying, "Don't panic, do you think the Elf Empress is so easily schemed against?"
