Chapter 53

"Kill! Eliminate all the orc troops who dare to resist, I want to completely control this castle." Due to the感应式的精神链接 (inductive mental link), Liu Siyi's summoning of the firebird took very little time. Before the orcs could react, a massacre began.

"Try not to damage the buildings; they all need to be rebuilt with gold." Seeing Phoenix launch its attack, Liu Siyi immediately reminded it. The firebird's destructive power was immense, and he didn't want to end up with an empty city.

Each city had its unique style, not just in construction but also in the diverse races of its inhabitants, which added a beautiful landscape.

Previously, Liu Siyi had seen the dwarf logging camp, where the workers were not troops but actual dwarves, the true residents of the dwarf fortress. Similarly, in the orc castle, there were many residents besides the troops.

Every city was like this. Without these residents, the various buildings, gold resources, and troop production rates would drop to the minimum, or even cease entirely.

Therefore, Liu Siyi's order was to eliminate all the orc troops, not the orc residents.

Dwarf residents were almost all the same, but orcs were different. Flying over the castle for a while, he saw many different orc races.

The orc residents were mainly goblins, and Liu Siyi inwardly complained, wondering how goblins managed to get along with orcs.

Besides goblins, almost all the orc races from fantasy novels were present, such as werewolves, tiger men, pig men, minotaurs, and eagle men. Although many were not troops, their strength was not much weaker than some high-level troops.

"Surprisingly, there are no behemoths. No wonder you dared to summon me in the orc castle." The firebird appeared very cautious. Once it saw the strength of the surrounding orcs, it immediately started to boast: "However, killing the weak isn't my style, but since it's your order, we summoned creatures have no choice but to obey, sigh~" As it spoke, the firebird flew up and spewed a thick flame, instantly burning all the orcs in a straight line to ashes before they could even scream. It was clear how high the temperature of the firebird's flame was.

"Although we have a mental link, I can't summon you without your consent. But seeing your current state, are you suffering or enjoying it?" Seeing the firebird's power in the air, he realized how strong it was, capable of easily slaughtering low-level troops.

"XXOO……"

The number of orcs in the castle was truly vast, with at least several thousand ordinary civilians. Relying solely on a mantis and a firebird would take too long, so Liu Siyi waited for his magic to stabilize and recited the incantation again.

"Thunder!"

A huge lightning bolt fell from the sky, forming a tall lightning giant among the orcs. The surging electricity instantly turned the surrounding orcs into charred remains.

"Lexus, eliminate all the orc troops who dare to resist. This city will be mine from now on."

"Alright, although I don't like doing this, since it's your request, I'll do it seriously." In front of a crowd, Lexus still gave Liu Siyi face. He was very worried that if the summoning frequency decreased or stopped, his understanding of the laws would be interrupted.

Three powerful seventh-level troops, each a formidable weapon, especially the firebird Phoenix and the lightning element lord Lexus. A single flame spray or a spread of electric arcs could eliminate a large area. The mantis, though not as good at mass killing as the other two, had an extremely fast blade speed, killing at least one orc per strike. When the orcs were densely packed, a single strike could sweep a wide area.

This was the power of seventh-level troops in reality when facing low-level troops. It was a crushing force, not like in games where, regardless of strength, damage had to be calculated. Reality was such that no matter how many troops you had, if they couldn't reach me, they were useless.

"XXOO……" A loud roar came from the distance, and Liu Siyi immediately turned his attention to it. There, a orc shaman wearing a strange mask was shouting under a large flag. The orcs, hearing the call, became orderly, with some melee orcs taking the front and ranged attackers standing behind the shaman.

"Phoenix, there's an orc shaman on your left organizing resistance. You said you felt bored, so I'll leave it to you." Liu Siyi immediately transmitted the message through the mental link.

"Alright, leave it to me. Watch how I deal with him." Phoenix immediately turned and flew over.

The orc shaman was a fourth-level elite mage troop, evolved from a fourth-level shaman. It was born with three first-level spells: a first-level attack spell, a first-level support spell to enhance orc attack power, and a first-level healing spell.

These three spells—attack, support, and healing—were enough to handle most situations even if the shaman hadn't learned any other spells.

Elite troops could use intelligence, and mage-type troops were even more intelligent than combat troops, especially in the orc race. To prevent any unforeseen issues, Liu Siyi decided to eliminate the shaman.

"Whoosh!" Phoenix flew to about 200-300 meters above the orc shaman and directly spewed flames. With its speed, the flames almost instantly turned the shaman and the surrounding area into a sea of fire.

"Swoosh! Swoosh……" Countless arrows shot at Phoenix, but it easily dodged them by spinning and twisting. In fact, it didn't matter whether it dodged or not. The arrows from the second-level centaur archers couldn't touch the firebird's body and were burned to ashes by the high temperature.

With thousands of orcs, relying solely on three seventh-level troops was still troublesome. Liu Siyi didn't idle, either. He cast third-level magic, Thunderball, one after another, with a destructive power that rivaled Phoenix and Lexus. Moreover, the Thunderball didn't consume much of Liu Siyi's magic, enough to support the entire battle.

The two witches, Lya and Lina, also joined in. Their dark magic arrows, which could only harass the mantis, were highly effective against orcs with weaker strength and poor magic resistance, mainly to fill in gaps and inform Liu Siyi of any orc gatherings.

Liu Siyi, the mantis, Phoenix, and Lexus were very effective in their killings, but after the initial rapid slaughter when the orcs were gathered, the orcs, under the command of various elites, began to disperse. Although some charged recklessly, most temporarily retreated, significantly reducing the killing efficiency.

Later, Liu Siyi even allowed the orcs to gather and resist, making it easier and more efficient to kill them when they were concentrated.
