My Waste Husband -
Chapter 1664
Chapter 1664
Gaspare and the person from the Taoist Jade Virtual appeared before the orcs. All three of them had their own goals. Adonias wanted nothing more than to crush the enemies forces, slaughtering all the way to the Surface, and find Laily. Gaspare, on the other hand, wanted the Token of True Spirits, and Henry's life.
The person from the Taoist Jade Virtual was on the same page with Gaspare on that, they both wanted Henry's life.
The three parties got together instantly.
The Taoist Jade Virtual announced that they could dominate the situation on the battlefield and create an opening for the orc army, but the orcs had to promise to never interfere with the Taoist Jade Virtual even if they had completely conquered the Core.
Adonias agreed immediately to such a request. It was impossible for him to find a reason to reject it at that moment.
"The Elite Spirit Hall doesn't want anything other than the life of Henry Zhang and the Token of True Spirits in his possession. How much havoc your orcs wreak has nothing to do with us!" Gaspare said.
"Very well. The orcs shall always see the Elite Spirit Hall and Taoist Jade Virtual as friends, hahaha!" Adonias roared with laughter.
The three parties came to an agreement within the camp of the orcs.
Meanwhile, in the ancient battlefield.
The humans occupied the high grounds, which meant that they could no longer withdraw from the ancient battlefield to rest like they used to be able to, and had to endure the suppression of energy within the ancient battlefield, tiny cuts could appear on their hands and faces at any time. However, they had gotten used to situations like that.
The fog in the ancient battlefield was thinning in time. Raniero announced that was a sign that the rules of the ancient battlefield were almost complete. If his predictions were right, the fog would disappear in five hours.
Raniero announced the estimated time that the fog would disappear. However, he was also hinting the fact that the orcs would launch another attack within those five hours. After all, it would be much easier for the orcs to break through the defences of the humans when the fog was still present.
The huge barrier between the orcs and the human army had already shrunk quite a bit. It had already exceeded 8 ran ley's capability for holding it for such long periods of time. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and his face pale. His back was already drenched in sweat, large beads of sweat trickled down his face, it seemed as if Branley would topple at any given moment.
"Everybody, brace yourselves for the next battle." Gardiner got up and looked at the wall that had turned much smaller than before.
The soldiers who were resting got up and got into formation. They were ready to pick up their weapons and swing them at the enemy any time.
"This war." Gardiner said, "I don't know when will be the end of this."
"Chief." Seadya Ding, the Master of the Ding Family, came to Gardiner and said, "We don't know when this war will come to an end, but we only know this one thing. Everybody, say it to our Chief!"
Seadya's voice boomed across the army of men, and the entire army within the battlefield responded in unison.
"For each day those bandits exist, we shall stay away from our homeland!"
It was just a few simple words, but they represented a firm belief and the determination to fight till death.
Gardiner suddenly burst into loud, hearty laughter.
"Hahaha! Hahahaha! Wonderful! Let's build the greatest wall of defence. That way, I will have something to brag about when I grow old. I can say that I was once a saviour of the world. Yeah, let's f*ck them, brothers! For each day those bandits exist, we shall stay away from our homeland!"
Their spirits were sky-high!
Even Raniero clenched his fists passionately.
"Is this the unity and belief of human beings?" Raniero looked at the men, he felt some sort of energy from those people. This kind of energy had no sense of aggression, but it felt incredibly powerful. Those who possessed such energy were usually more powerful than most people in their hearts. This was something that the only the strong possessed.
Raniero did not believe himself to have such faith. For if he did, he would dare say that he would be much stronger than he currently was. "Gardiner, how is the war going? " Several people in Taoist robes came to the front lines. They held horsetail whisks in their hands, all looking detached from this world. They were all from the Taoist Jade Virtual Temple.
No one on the battlefield liked those from the Taoist Jade Virtual, they had never showed up when everyone was fighting hard. However, every time the battle was over, they would come out and inspect the entire army as if they were the leaders.
Everyone had witnessed the actions of the people from Taoist Jade Virtual, and all looked at them with gazes of contempt.
The people of the Taoist Jade Virtual seemed to be completely oblivious to those gazes. They walked over and asked Gardiner about the current situation, looking as if they were about to advice Gardiner on the current situation.
Gardiner did not show any liking to those people from the Taoist Jade Virtual, but he knew that he could not afford to offend them. He bowed and said, "Dear sirs, the fog is about to clear. I'm sure that the orcs will be prepared for their next round of attacks before the fog clears off completely."
"Hurry up and get ready for it then!" One of the Taoist priests immediately replied. "No, wait, you peasants would do fine fighting the orcs head-on, but in terms of avoiding their ambushes, you are all still lacking, so just leave that to us."
Upon hearing the Taoist priest's words, not mentioning Gardiner and Ranulfo, even Raniero displayed a look of surprise.
Everyone had witnessed the actions of the people from the Taoist Jade Virtual. Yet at that moment they were offering to risk their lives to prevent the ambushes of the orcs?
"What? Judging from your expressions, do you think that we are incompetent for that?" The Taoist priest said to Gardiner with visible dissatisfaction on his face.
"That's not true." Gardiner shook his head. "It's just..."
"All right, enough talking, go gather thirty men for me. They must be tall and strong, we shall lead them to meet with those orcs." The Taoist priest waved his sleeve and gave the order.
Gardiner and Ranulfo exchanged looks at each other. They both felt that something was off with the Taoist priest, but they could not tell what it was. "I'll do it!" A tall soldier stood up. "I'm willing to take on that task."
"I'll go!"
"Me too!"
These soldiers stood up one after another and volunteered without Gardiner having to say a word, even with the knowledge that their small team of men would only have enough time to send a signal before they were wiped out, if they really did clash with the orcs. However, none of them retreated in fear.
It was just as they had said, they would never return to their homes until the enemy had been completely eliminated!
They were determined to fight to the end of their lives on this battlefield.
"Dear sirs, I think we'd better give this matter some more thought and discuss about it later." Gardiner said.
"Gardiner Zhao, what is the meaning of that?" The Taoist priest yelled at him immediately.
