The trolls operating the siege weapons were assailed, but there were simply too many giant bats.
The giant bats enveloped the trolls, and by the time they separated, the trolls had been reduced to scattered skeletons.
“Break the equipment.” The Blood Hunter swung his longsword, shattering the contraption.
They needed to eliminate all the siege weapons before the other trolls could provide support.
Soon, the outraged roars of the trolls echoed around them, but by then, the Blood Hunter and his skeleton giant bats had already completed their task and began to retreat.
The Blood Hunter returned to camp, remounted a dragon, and with the rest of the dragons, took back to the sky.
They dove back into the depths of the Bloodthroat troll army from behind, spewing forth their deadly breath.
Columns of dark energy swept through the troll ranks, swathes of trolls started dying, leaving behind fields of bone.
Kaius, his fists swinging, threw out punches that erupted in a fan of shockwaves.
Swaths of undead transformed into shattered bones under the might of his fists, scattering around.
Yet, countless more undead surged forward without rest.
Even after slaughtering tens of thousands of them, the number of skeletons didn’t seem to decrease.
Meanwhile, his own Bloodthroat warriors were falling in droves under the assault of the undead and bone dragons.
Seeing his warriors dying in front of him and facing the endless undead army, Kaius knew he had failed. Faulty intelligence had led him to underestimate the undead force.
Despatching the encroaching undead with his fists, he roared, “Everyone, follow me and retreat, back to the Bloodfang Mountains.”
Having already been considering retreat, the trolls responded to the command of their chieftain with a chorus of angry shouts.
They fended off the undead’s onslaught while falling back towards the Bloodfang Mountains.
The horde of the undead still pursued relentlessly in close heel, pushing, trampling, entangling with the trolls.
Determined to trap them all.
“My Lord, the troll army has retreated. They have suffered significant losses in this battle.” Black Thorn approached Fang Hao to report.
“Hmm. Pursue them appropriately, clean up the battlefield, and transport the troll corpses back to our territory for conversion,” Fang Hao instructed.
They did not know the terrain and roads within the Bloodfang Mountains.
The skeletons, if scattered, would be no match for the trolls, hence only a moderate pursuit was necessary.
The overall layout of the battlefield was good. Many trolls were killed by traps and roadblocks before they could breach the walls.
The most significant loss came from the deployment of the “Dragon-Locking Ballista”.
Fang Hao had never expected that such a device could possess the power to pull dragons down from the sky.
Two of his bone dragons were lost.
Bone dragons were unlike common soldiers. With no dragon crystals available, every loss was irreplaceable.
Even the death of tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers did not hurt as much as the loss of those two bone dragons.
“Understood, my Lord,” Black Thorn nodded in acknowledgment.
Next would be the repair of the city walls and gates, and summoning the skeleton army back.
If Fang Hao was present in person, he could use the Book of Lords to repair the buildings.
However, as he was only in ‘God’s Presence’ state, he could only rely on-
He agreed and began organizing for the repair of the city walls, and also to call back the skeleton army that had gone to attack.
The battle at the Bloodfang Mountains came to an end.
Fang Hao deactivated his ‘God’s Presence’ state and woke up in his room.
By then, the sun had started to set. It was about four to five o’clock.
The rumbling of his stomach triggered a wave of hunger.
“Eira, prepare some food,” Fang Hao called out as he opened the door.
“Alright,” the reply came from downstairs.
Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords and contacted Zhang Bin.
“How’s the situation on your end, Zhang Bin?” Fang Hao asked.
Zhang Bin replied promptly, “Boss, the battle has ended. All orcs were killed in the fight, and we managed to capture a wounded orc hero. Hilda says she assassinated the flying squadron leader last night.”
Hilda was Little You.
Since Zhang Bin was a transmigrator, he could see the names of the heroes, thus referring to her as Hilda.
Once a melee starts, it makes survival almost impossible.
Especially with the undead army, which only considers their order to kill enemies fulfilled when the enemies are completely dead.
If it weren’t for the injured orc not participating in the battle, he probably would have died under the skeletons’ wild attacks by now.
“Is he seriously injured? Which rank of hero is he?” Fang Hao asked.
“He’s a level five green hero. His throat has been cut, making his voice a bit hoarse, but he seems to be alright according to his current state,” Zhang Bin answered.
“Hmm, keep an eye on him. I’ll swingby later.”
“Alright, boss.”
After the battle, Zhang Bin was totally submissive to Fang Hao.
Those surviving in the channel were all somewhat capable, but none of them had such a large army.
While others were still flaunting their green equipment, Fang Hao had already begun large-scale conquests.
He ended the chat.
Fang Hao went downstairs to eat.
The mealtime fell in between lunch and dinner.
“Master, did the battle go smoothly?” Eira, who was familiar with Fang Hao, dared to ask this question.
“It went smoothly, we’ve already won. The maids don’t need to clean the undead area tonight. There will be corpses for conversion, so they won’t get scared,” Fang Hao replied casually while eating.
People in this era were actually more resilient than he had imagined.
Otherwise, it would’ve been hard for them to survive here.
“Alright, thank you, Master.” Eira smiled and expressed her gratitude on behalf of the maids.
Being able to meet Fang Hao was indeed their good fortune.
They were well-fed and lived in a better environment than their previous villages.
