Chapter 1657



Currently, the orcs had an absolute advantage on the battlefield, and the best bet mankind had against them was the Ancestral Weapon. Accurate reports of casualties came in one after another. Gardiner and the others looked increasingly grim.

However, at the same time, they also had a new understanding of the orcs' fighting prowess from that battle. Although in terms of individual strength, the orcs were easier to deal with than before, but when humans were unarmed. Their destructive power towards the orcs would be greatly reduced. If it had not been for the support and protection from the Ancestral Weapon, it was very likely that the orcs would have dominated the battlefield. "Actually, we also do have some advantages."

Ranulfo said suddenly, "We are affected by the energy within the ancient battlefield, and so can the orcs. They have now occupied the high grounds, and they won't be giving it up, this means that they must keep their troops in the ancient battlefield, but us on the other hand, we can retreat and rest whenever we want."

"I'm thinking, since we can withdraw our troops completely, and they are still camped in there, can we just launch a nuclear strike at them?"

Someone pointed out.

"You tired of living?"

Raniero sneered, "The energy within the ancient battlefield is very complicated, and now it links both grounds. If you detonate the mixed up energy in the ancient battlefield, no one would want to witness the result of that, trust me. One-third of the world would be destroyed without the orcs even having to appear."

Sieve smiled wryly. "We had already thought of this, but it's impossible. The energy from this ancient battlefield has already affected our world. Haven't any of you noticed that our glaciers have begun melting? The energy from the ancient battlefield has already begun to leak out into the world. I'm sure that the instant we do something out of line, the energy from the ancient battlefield would be completely leaked, and that'll be the end for us." "The only thing we can do for now is to hold off the orcs. Let's just keep waiting."

Ranulfo looked out of the tent. "Let's wait for his return."

His return... Everyone had their hopes pinned on that one person. If he could retrieve the ancestral weapon, the humans would be able to turn the tables, but no one knew when he would make his return, and no one would hurry him, because they all understood that everyone was working hard for the same goal at a time like this.

"Attention everyone, gather around!"

Gardiner stood up and put out his cigarette.

The men got into formation once again. With a wave of the flag, the battalion charged once more into the ancient battlefield. Piles of corpses lay within the fog, and blood flowed like streams.

Two days had gone by. Lives were lost with every passing second.

Meanwhile, in Van Xia, somewhere in the mountains.

Henry walked on the muddy road with a parcel on his back. The parcel on his back looked much more exaggerated than it used to. He had obviously gained several more ancestral weapons.

Henry travelled at a steady pace that had a certain rhythm to it, even his breathing was synchronised with every step he took.

A little girl knelt on the ground before him, kowtowing to him repeatedly.

"Uncle, I'm begging you. Please save my mom.

She is going to die."

The little girl was only about six or seven years old Her eyes were red and swollen from all of the crying, and her forehead that was usually bright and clear had already started to turn purple.

Henry looked at the little girl, but his footsteps never stopped. He did not even look at the paled face woman behind the girl, even if all it took was just ten minutes for Henry to save that woman's life.

"Uncle, please, I'm begging you!"

The little girl kept kowtowing, blood trickled from her forehead. It was an unbearable sight.

However, Henry walked past the little girl as if he had not seen anything.

The moment Henry walked past the little girl, the world before him changed immediately. The muddy path under his feet turned into rocks, and the little girl he could not bear to look at, turned into a glimmer of light and disappeared, and darkness appeared once again before Henry. In the darkness, nine skeletons of children were scattered around the place.

Upon looking at his surroundings, a smile suddenly formed on Henry's face.

"Master Lu, looks like I've never walked out of here."

Henry felt the weight of the parcel on his back. The contents within it disappeared, what remained were just some gravel.

Henry threw those away very casually. The only thing that remained on his back was a black sickle.

"The moment I returned to the entrance of the cave, I was already in an illusion. You've allowed me to experience despair, and forced me to be cold and heartless again. Everything in the illusion are just actually things I am afraid of, aren't they?"

Henry felt the handle of the scythe. The Life Scythe had the power to lure out the greatest fears that resided within the hearts of men. All of Henry's illusions from earlier were all the work of the Life Scythe.

"You have left this world, yet you are still able to let this Life Scythe affect me like this."

Henry looked at the engravings on the stone walls of the cave and said. "Master Lu, just how powerful could you have possibly been?

"Now that I am back again, you want me to face my fears directly. In fact, now that I think about it, those things were actually was nothing to fear about. Everyone is selfish, and so am 1. Back then, I just wanted to live and if they didn't die, I would be the one dying."

As Henry said that, he suddenly took a step forward. A skull lay on the ground before him. Henry crushed the skull with his foot without a second of hesitation.

The moment the skull was crushed, a dull nose sounded from the cave. A ray of light shone from the depths of the cave. The imprable stone wall, which the Demon Sword of Destruction could only leave a scratch on, slowly opened. That was where the light came from.

Henry followed the source of light and walked in its direction. An entirely different world existed outside of the cave. Weapons were neatly arranged on their racks, just like the stores of blacksmiths in ancient times, each weapon had annotations below it.

The Lone Blade, taken from the Zheng family of Dong Ying Village.

The Blue Jade Sword, taken from the Huang Clan of Yan Xia.

"The Huang Clan no longer exists."

Henry's gaze swept over to the Blue Jade Sword. It was him who wiped out the Huang Clan.

Eight Trigram Bronze Hammer, taken from the Bryce Family of Gao Li.

The Mourner's Axe, taken from the hands of Marcwells of Freeland.

The weapons appeared before Henry one after another. These were

all the Ancestral Weapons that Justus had sealed in the past, all of them were stored in there. It was the biggest treasure trove of the civilisation of the Surface! The separation of Qi and weapons caused the power of the forces of the Surface to be shaved incredibly. After countless years of oblivion, these Ancestral Weapons finally could see the light of day once again!
