《Rise of the Horde 》Chapter 72

"Chief, there are enemies on the move towards the center of the battlefield." Fukarr informed Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen and his commanders quickly made their way to the frontline of the formation. The orc infantry parted their tight formation as the chieftain and the commanders made their way through them.
"Trot'thar, what do you see?"
Xiao Chen asked his commander who had the longest eyesight among them. The only thing he could make out while staring at their enemies who are on the move are vague silhouettes.
"I see hobgoblins, chief. A dozen of them and one bigger hobgoblin with a crown on its head." Trot'thar reported as he stared at his chieftain. He rubbed his eyes many times and checked on their enemies again and again, but he sees the same thing no matter how many times and hard he rubs his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen asked in confusion as the actions of Trot'thar puzzled him.
Trot'thar scratched the back of his head."Nothing chief. I was just trying to make sure that my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. They seem to want to talk."
Xiao Chen stared at the vague silhouettes and the distance and spent a few moments contemplating whether he should try to communicate with their foes. He stroke his chin while thinking. "Gur'kan, Fukarr, Draegh'ana, Galum'nor,and Haguk come with me. And Haguk, choose some of your swiftest warriors, twenty of them will do."
The young chieftain uttered as he walked with large strides towards the delegations from their enemies. Behind him were his commanders, and the chosen warriors of Haguk from the Warghen Clan.
"This is King Jaadul, King of the Goblins. Chosen by the Queen of Screams as her representative before going south to deal with some personal matters." A hobgoblin that seems to be the minister of the King of Goblins shouted.

Xiao Chen observed the Goblin King, Jaadul from head to toe. The Goblin King was a massive piece of flesh like an overly obese person. His bulging stomach was totally out of proportion, or you can say, impossible to be attained compared to its thin and bony legs. On top of its head was a crude looking worn out crown that was rusting in some places.
"We are here to discuss your surrender." The minister hobgoblin smiled as he stared at the young chieftain and his companions while proudly stretching both his arms out. "Better surrender before our army descends upon you."
Fukarr spat on the ground and stomp a few times and pointed his battle-axe towards the minister hobgoblin. "Surrender? How about, I cleaved that head of yours open and fixed that rusty brain of yours? That is, if you have one."
"Insolence! You dare threaten the King's minister in front of him." A hobgoblin general shouted and lunged at Fukarr with his giant blade.
The hobgoblin warrior smirked at his target. He was sure that his enemy will surely suffer, but a shadow suddenly descended upon his face. It was a hand. Galum'nor intercepted the lunging hobgoblin in midair and caught his head with his right palm. He slammed the hobgoblin to the ground, hard.
Cracks appeared on the ground, where Galum'nor slammed the head of the warrior hobgoblin. The Goblin King stared at the massive frame of Galum'nor with sparkling eyes.
He brought both his hands forward and proceeded to make grabbing motions towards the direction of Galum'nor all the while drool was flowing from the corner of his lips.
Gur'kan noticed the strange behavior of the Goblin King and approached his big friend and whispered. "Look at that. The Goblin King seems to be interested in you. He is drooling and can't wait to have you in his embrace."

Galum'nor glanced towards the Goblin King and caught sight of him licking the corner of his lips while looking at him. The Goblin King winked at Galum'nor while making grabbing motions in his direction.
A terrible memory suddenly popped up in Galum'nor's brain, the time when he was molested. He shouted towards the sky with pure anger and charged at the Goblin King. "I am only interested in females."
The muscle head crashed through the dozen hobgoblins who tried to stop his charge and protect their King. The angry orc went on a rampage and tossed all the other hobgoblins out of the way.
"Cripple or disable them but keep them alive." Xiao Chen shouted as he gripped his spear tightly and charged forward, whacking his first victim in the head with the shaft of his spear with all his strength, sending the poor hobgoblin to sleep.
Galum'nor kept pounding on the Goblin King with anger. The ground under the poor King caved in a few inches already because of the muscle head's continuous strikes. Galum'nor grabbed one of the Goblin King's legs and spun round and round before throwing him towards his army.
Dust of clouds was kicked up as the Goblin King crashed hard in front of its army, who stared blankly at what just happened.
Xiao Chen smiled wryly at what just happened and quickly ended the lives of the disabled hobgoblins. He thought that he could finish all his missions in one go, but the incensed Galum'nor seemed to have other thoughts and threw away the Goblin King.
"Get ready for battle." Xiao Chen shouted as they ran back with fast and large strides towards where their allies were at.
Angry screams echoed from the enemy battle line as the Goblin King stood up after regaining his bearings. He was angered by the fact that he was just thrashed around and humiliated in front of his army.
"Brazan, to your formation." Xiao Chen waved towards the ogres as they slowly made their way to the front line. He guided where the ogres should be at as they formed. Right behind the ogres were the orc infantry who had an increasing length of battle line as they were further away from the ogres.
Dug'mhar and his Rumbling Clan rode away and separated themselves from the main army. The huge Rhakaddons kicked up a lot of dust as they departed, and the ground was trembling at their sheer weight as they passed by.
Xiao Chen's army was formed like a triangle with the ogres spearheading the massive triangular formation. They marched slowly towards their enemies and followed the slow rhythm beating of the war drums from the battle band.

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii
8 387The Primordial
With one goal fueling him, he broke through the final barrier, reaching the apex of power and regaining that which was once lost. Trying to find a new beginning, he reforged himself anew as he awoke to memories of a long forgotten past. Memories that intersected with his new reality. His invincible soul now unchained, surprises await him as he begins his new jouney in an unknown land. I'm just writing this for fun, but i'll never drop it. This won't be something short, as I have the very long term in mind, but I'm a total noob to writing, so I most likely won't release chapters very often, at least until I really get the hang of it. But, the chapters will always be several thousand words long. At the minimum 2k, maximum like 6k... Pretty big variations, sorry. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's understandable. Regardless, if you have a read, I'd appreciate feedback for areas you think I should improve on, whether it's the use of some words or how I should write something or WHATEVER. I'm open to anything, good or bad, because with your help, it'll help make this story better. **DISCLAIMER** So you don't waste your time, I want to let you know what you're getting into, because I like knowing ahead of time before I read something. This might appear like a Xianxia novel, but it's not. It only starts that way. This is a western fantasy world and setting that many of you are familiar with. The beginning chapters might be a bit of an info dump. Some of it might seems superfluous, but a lot of information is relevant to the story. The first few chapters might also seem rushed, but I'll try to keep it exclusive to those. This is a cliche, OP MC story with the typical harem, but other than the quick start, everything else will be gradual. There will be romance, and probably many moments at that, but don't expect anything TOO detailed. If you want something really steamy, look elsewhere. References and throwbacks to stuff most likely. The setting won't be really dark or really light. Middleground, I guess. The MC is far from a young kid, but he won't totally reflect his age. I don't plan on discarding info, abilities or characters that you KNOW should come back and be around. I see it a lot and it sort of bugs me haha... but I could have oversights, I dunno. As I said, I'm a noob. That's it, really. If you're interested, welcome to my world!

(First take on writing something so please be easy on me. I plan on including different elements I feel will make a good story like leveling, stats boxes, spells, reincarnation, betrayal, and so much more. I prefer to do some background building while also balancing character development to deliver a good story so be prepared. I'm planning to write this novel for a long time while also adapting and learning to become better at it. Feedback will be appreciated and if editing is needed I will do my best.) Posting Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and possibly Sundays. Thanks from ianwest!
