Rise of the Horde

Chapter 78: Chapter 7

The orc infantry started to encircle around what remains of their enemies in a crooked ‘L’ leaving behind their right flank and rear open. Iron bolts continued to rain down from above as the trolls continued their merry task, which was loading and shooting the scorpions.

Galum’nor kicked and kicked at the Goblin King trying to free himself. He tugged his right leg as hard as he could but was only rewarded with more pain as the jaws of King Jaadul locked and his teeth embedded themselves upon his calf.

Brazan was huffing and puffing when he caught sight of the precarious situation that Galum’nor was in. He brought both his maces in front of him and started sprinting forward towards the Goblin King.

He brought forward both his maces and slammed them towards the exposed back of the Goblin King, but his attack just ricocheted back and his maces flew away from his hands. Brazan stared at his trembling hands in confusion at what just happened.

He raised his head up and grinned towards the Goblin King, who turned around to face him. “A worthy foe!” he muttered.

Brazan put both his arms forward and hugged the huge waist of his opponent, squeezing the flabby belly of his opponent tightly. He grunted as he raised the body of King Jaadul before falling backwards and slamming his foe to the ground hard in a suplex.

The Goblin King finally let go of his hold on Galum’nor’s calf after being slammed hard by Brazan. The ogre quickly turned around and stared at King Jaadul who was slowly getting back up on his feet. He grinned then like an arrow release from a bow; he charged forward and tried to tackle the Goblin King but he just bounced off and flew backwards after slamming against his opponent.

The Rumbling Clan encircled around the enemy army, preparing for another mighty charge to hammer them. Haguk led his clansmen towards the open flank of their foes, waiting for Dug’mhar and his clansmen to hammer the enemy formation to pieces.

Xiao Chen led his warriors in solidifying the battle line to hold the enemy army in place and waited for the Rumbling Clan to hammer them from the rear.

The battle horns blasted in a mighty roar as the thundering of the war drums drowned the rumbling of the thunder up in the dark skies. Flashes of lightning snaked their way through the dark clouds.

Dug’mhar rallied his clansmen again for another charge as he raised his weapon up in the air. He kicked the sides of his Rhakaddon as it sprinted forward, throwing mud and dirt behind him as its hooves dug deep on the softened ground. “We are here to RUMBLE!”

The Rumbling Clan brute forced their way through with no difficulty as the softened ground aided their charge, making the stance of their enemies unstable as they slid back after being rammed by the Rhakaddons. Corrupted creatures were thrown in the air as the riders atop the Rhakaddons shot their weapons.

Gliobs squinted his eyes and caught sight of the massive silhouettes of the Rhakaddons among the corrupted creatures wrecking havoc amidst them. He quickly shouted “Tap firing,mon .Fi wi friends are all ova di place wi cyaa risk hitting dem!”

The scorpions halted, firing the iron bolts under the command of Gliobs. They have been shooting for hours and some of them even sat on the ground having their rest. A troll nearest to Gliobs smiled at him “Mi guess fi wi job dun,mon.”

“Yea fi wi job dun now mon.” Gliobs answered while smiling toward his kind, who are now spread all over the place, laying down on the muddy ground or sitting trying to have their rest after continuously shooting the scorpions.

Dug’mhar led the way and rammed through their enemies, scattering them all over the place with each swing of his Rhakaddon’s enormous head and huge horns. “Hahaha! This is perfect! Just perfect! We RUMBLE perfectly!” His voice became fainter and fainter as he and his clansmen started their retreat for another charge.

After seeing that the Rumbling Clan was making their exit, Haguk raised his battleaxe in the air and ushered Sharpfang forward. He and Sharpfang sprinted forward and behind him was his clansmen and the numerous wargs that sprinted alongside them while growling, baring their fangs at the corrupted creatures that were frozen in place after just getting back on their feet who were luckily missed by the trampling hooves of the Rhakaddons.

Haguk led the way, cleaving left and right with his battle-axe while his warg, Sharpfang tore apart those that came too close to its partner.

“Forward!”

“It’s almost over!”

“Victory is within our grasp!”

Sakh’arran bellowed with his cracking voice as his throat was throughly dried already. The orc infantry rammed their way forward as most of the ogres retreated behind them. Their stamina was already spent after fighting for many hours.

The orc infantry covered the retreat of the ogres, preventing the corrupted creatures from pursuing after their already fatigued allies.

“Here we are to RUMBLE again!”

Dug’mhar shouted as they made their return yet again. Destroying their regrouping foes, who were preparing to engage the Warghen Clan together.

The Rhakaddons trampled their way through without any mercy as their riders continued to shoot down with their weapons.

King Jaadul no longer cared about his army, he just grabbed those that were near him, friend or foe and chomped on them to further increase his own strength. Blood drip from the corners of his lips but he paid no heed to it, even those that were attacking him. He ignored them as their weapons bounced away from his flesh.

The Goblin King’s size increased, he became bigger and bigger with each creature that he feasted upon. His height was over fifteen feet already and his bulging stomach became six or eight times its previous size already.

Dug’mhar led his Rhakaddon towards the Goblin King as he shouted loudly, trying to get the attention of his foe. The belly of King Jaadul sunk after Dug’mhar’s Rhakaddon rammed its enormous head against it but instead of being thrown backwards. King Jaadul’s bulging stomach returned to how it was before the impact as both Dug’mhar and his Rhakaddon were sent flying away.
