《Rise of the Horde 》Chapter 57
Advertisement
Sakh'arran and his clansmen followed after the corrupted ogre for quite some time and they arrived at a mountain of corpses, rotting bodies of different creatures all piled up together.
On top of the mountain of corpses were Screech Demons, they are one of the most common demons just like the Felhounds but they are airborne. They had a huge worm-like face with no eyes nor ears attached to a very long neck. A mouth filled with many rows of sharp fangs, a very sensitive star-shaped tentacle like nose and a huge batwings that was double the size of their bodies.
Their upper limbs which was attached to the the skin membrane of their wings ends up with sharp dangerous claws. A long snake like tail can be seen swinging left and right behind their huge legs that was no more than dangerous than their upper limbs.
The screeching sounds of the Screech Demons were very unpleasant to the ears. Sakh'arran and his clansmen hid behind thick and tall grasses as they watch.
Tossing away the now unmoving bodies towards the pile of corpses, the ogre turned around and went back to where the towers were at.
The Screech Demons screech against each other as they bare their rows of fangs, intimidating their kin that got too close to them. They chewed upon the motionless bodies, ripped them apart with their fangs and raised their heads to gulp down the rotten flesh while screeching in pleasure as they feast.
Sakh'arran can't help but scrunched his face in disgust, glancing to his clansmen, they too have the same expression as him. Many of the corpses were infested with maggots and flies but the Screech Demons paid no heed to them and savored the additional spice that was mix with their meal, the maggots that were wriggling about the corpses.

Slowly they retraced their steps, playing hide and seek with the patrols.
The ground started trembling, Sakh'arran and his clansmen stared at each other and confusion was apparent in their eyes. They all felt it, the shaking of the ground.
"It's time to RUMBLE!"
Someone shouted from the darkness and the trembling of the ground became more intense. The mountain of corpses started to collapse as the piled up bodies skidded down, scattering to the ground along with the maggots that wriggle their way back to the rotting bodies.
Sakh'arran and his clansmen laid down on the ground on their bellies as they try to identify what was happening. Sound of hooves could be heard fast approaching, silhouettes of enormous creatures could be seen vaguely coming from the north and a humanoid creature on its back.
There they saw the cause of the ground trembling, hundreds of Rhakaddon riders riding together.
"The Rumbling Clan"
Fukarr softly muttered as they stared at the huge number of Rhakaddon riders moving together. The Rhakaddon's were very tough and strong creatures, they have a colossal head which was adorned with three horns, one on top of their snouts which was shorter but bulkier than the other two while the other two rests just above their eyes, longer and more pointed, pointing forward.
They stood at seven feet tall on four legs, a body covered in brown or black thick skin which was their natural armor. Their legs were short but massive with large hooves, they also have a hump on their back which they use to store water.
Fukarr remembered an old saying about the Rumbling Clan who were one of the overlords of the plains in their old world.
"When Rhakaddon riders assemble, the ground will tremble, and their charge almost unstoppable"
Just like a modern tank, the Rhakaddon riders run through their enemies, throwing them everywhere. Destruction was the only thing left behind after the Rumbling Clan disappeared in the horizon.

The pawns of the demon were trampled on the ground, even some of the Screech Demons were included as they weren't fast enough to fly away and avoid the charge of the Rhakaddons.
The mountain of corpses was no more but just small mounds of trampled corpses. Screech Demons gave chase after the Rhakaddons that disturbed their meal, screeching in anger.
Sakh'arran and his clansmen stared at the trail of destruction left behind by the Rhakaddons, the wooden tower was no more but a pile of scraps. They glanced towards the camps of the fallen creatures, they had experienced the same fate, destruction and death under the hooves of the Rhakaddons.
Moans and groans of pain could be heard as the corrupted creatures gathered to repair the destruction left behind by the Rhakaddons. Sakh'arran now knew what delayed their foes.
They were being unintentionally being aided by the Rumbling Clan keeping them busy during the darkness.
"Awooh!"
Howls of wargs echoed. Turning their head to one side, Sakh'arran and his clansmen spotted a huge pack of wargs, sprinting towards the ruined camp of their foes.
The wargs pounced on the corrupted creatures, tearing them apart with their claws and fangs. Along with the wargs were orcs covered with animal furs, they battled alongside the wargs.
One of the orcs fighting side by side with the wargs raised his head up and howled in similar fashion as the wargs which was responded by a united howl of the wargs.
"Remnants of the Warghen Clan"
Sakh'arran softly muttered as they watch the orcs and wargs wreck havoc in the ruined camp of the corrupted creatures. The Warghen and Rumbling Clan attacking after one another made a huge mess among the pawns of the demon.
Screeches could be heard from a distance as the Screech Demons came back, probably after being repelled by the Rumbling Clan as some of the Screech Demons were bleeding from nasty gashes and weapons still embedded in their bodies.
The orcs howled once again and they retreated along with the wargs as the Screech Demons gave chase after them, luring them towards probably another ambush to decimate the numbers of the flying demons.

Ode to Freud
For those who do not understand the reference, "wish fulfillment" is before anything a term created by Sigmund Freud in the 1900's. In psychology it is a state of satisfying unconscious needs and desires by the use of fantasy and delusion. In literature it is the very base of fictional work, but also the name of a style of writing where the author sacrifices the key elements of good storytelling in order to fulfill his own psychopathic, neurotic or perverse needs and desires, usually through the use of the characters in weird and forced situations. What I meant by the title of this story is that it is a trashy, badly written, shitty story about me getting some wish fulfillment by the use of some characters and a fictional world of my creation. Not the good kind of fulfillment, since my wishes are of the bad kind and I intend to fulfill those, not yours. Also, being a total amateur and not writing a proper plot before starting are two big indicators that this story is going to go bad. I guess Royal Road call this kind of stories the "Mary Sue" kind. So, unless you are a very ugly piece of trash (at least as much as I am) don’t bother reading it. Now, if you ARE messed up on the level of a clinically depressive, lightly suicidal, lolicon/shotacon aligned morbidly obese hikikomori vermin who sold his virginity to a prostitute and is currently living at the costs of his widowed mother after expending all the money he got from his father’s inheritance, all the while masturbating furiously to beast/furry dickgirl hentai, then be welcomed. Please feel free to get a serving at my antidepressants and also at the canned tuna I have stored in the fridge. There may be some cheese somewhere, and I am pretty sure I bought some juice the other day, but I have no idea where it is. Anyway. You may dislike what I write because of all the amauteur(ish) writing, or you may not. Who knows. Give it a try and write a comment. It gets lonely writing to no one. Also, feel free to grant me inspiration not only by making comments about the world and/or characters, but specially by suggesting a music for me to listen while I write the next chapter. Be warned : I do get influenced easily by the background music I listen while writing. If you exist, of course. I'm seriously doubting anyone has read anything after the "lolicon hikikomori" thing. Also, I have a tiny dick.Just so you can feel better about yourself a little more. Or maybe I have just degraded psychologically a little more and now I am into shame-play. I wonder if the psychiatrist would increase my meds a bit if I told her about it.Hope I never get to penispanick, though! Self-mutilation, especially of the castration type, would be baaaad. After all, I do like my prostitutes. And having sex with them when I can afford it. Oh, yeah, the story. I will just write the first chapter in a few moments.Until later, b(i)each.
