《Rise of the Horde 》Chapter 146
Advertisement
Xiao Chen nodded his head at the center of their battle-line, which was unbreakable. No matter how many goblins charged in, they couldn't get past the forest of spears and their futile attempts costed them their lives.
His Rakshas were nearly impossible to be defeated if their opponents would assault them in the front, but an attack to their rears and flanks was a different matter. It's not like that they would a hundred percent be defeated but if they are assaulted from the flanks or rear, it would just mess their tight formation up and leave their ranks open for enemies to come flooding inside their ranks and mixing in with them.
"Charge harder!"
"More! A bit more!"
"Put all your strength into it!"
"Come on! Little ones... You almost succeeded! Come on!..."
"We are waiting... Hahahaha!"
The Rakshas were cheering their goblin foes to charge harder as they sealed their formation tight whenever a gap would be formed, when their enemies do a massive charge against them. They were laughing and shouting their cheers which were totally out of place and very odd, in front of them were corpses of their victims who were mercilessly cut down by them.
Xiao Chen shook his head and just shrugged his shoulders at the behavior of his warriors. As long as they maintain their line and repel the goblins, he won't complain. He glanced behind him and saw the trolls looking at each other with questioning looks. They have exhausted all their javelins.
The trolls were already out of javelins to throw at their enemies and went around their camp to look for anything suitable to be hurled at their foes that can do damage. Stones, metal cookware,and cups were their new weapons. The trolls let them all fly with no care. They threw anything and everything that could do damage when thrown except for the breakable ones; they didn't hurl them at their enemies since they will be shattered and can't be recovered after the battle.

Xiao Chen watched the trolls hurl everything in their camp. They even dismantled some tents to get the wooden pillars of it to be thrown at their enemies. Watching the actions of the trolls, Xiao Chen was rendered speechless, "As long as they can do damage, it's fine..." he muttered as he heard the sound of their cookware hitting some of the goblins hidden by the thick fog with a loud clank followed by a shriek of pain.
"Spirits guide me, lend me your power, and bring forth what I desire. The eastern winds and with the aid of the stars, bring forth thy creature that I request. Descend and let them hear your cry, Akwilah." Draegh'ana chanted as the magic circle, which was a combination of blue and white, emerged again in the air.
Just like its previous entrance, the Eagle's talons were the first to descend from the magic circle followed by the rest of its body. After fully coming out of the magic circle, it spread its wings and released a loud cry, and then took flight into the sky.
"Will your summon be able to see through this thick fog?" Xiao Chen glanced at Draegh'ana and asked her. "Don't worry chief, Akwilah sees things very differently than us." she quickly replied and as she had said, cries of goblins sounded as her summon picked two unlucky goblins up in each of its talons before hurling them down towards the spears of the Rakshas. After throwing its first victims, Aquila took flight again in search of its next prey as it heavily flapped its wings and disappeared inside the thick fog.
Xiao Chen continued to observe the progress of the battle and he soon heard many wolves howling coming from their left flank. "Aro'shanna, go and give a hand to Galum'nor, we can't join the fray while staying behind the Rakshas." he muttered as he pointed towards their left flank.

Aro'shanna grinned and look down at the little Grogus who had his knife clutched in his arms tightly held in front of his chest. The little goblin was trembling, maybe because of fear or because of something else. "You heard the chief. Let's go!" she grinned as she picked up her axe and rested its handle on her shoulders with the head of her weapon a few inches away from her back.
Xiao Chen noticed the thinning lines of the goblins that were trying to break through the Rakshas. They were headed towards both to the left and right of their battle-line. He dragged his crescent-moon spear behind him as he sprinted towards their right flank. The goblins were trying to outflank them as they gave up their futile attempts in trying to get past the sturdy line of the Rakshas.
"Break formation! Extend the battle line! They are trying to outflank us!" Xiao Chen shouted to warn the Yurakks who were at their right flank. Upon hearing the orders of their chieftain, the Yurakks broke out of their Torhterra Formation. Their rear lines detached from their ranks and moved forward while slowly advancing with their shields in front of them. They proceeded with caution, as they can't see really well because of the fog.
"Kiek! Ki!"
"Ki!"
The shrieks of the goblins could be heard nearby as Xiao Chen continued heading to their right most flank and the goblins were also headed towards the same destination as him. Scattered battle broke out as some of the goblins tried to break through the Yurakks only to be repelled back by the towering shields that won't budge no matter how hard they charge at them.
Xiao Chen's warning saved their right flank from being overrun and outflank by the goblins. The Yurakks held their ground really well. Their shields in front of them, slightly bended knees as their outer knee pointed inward and their stabbing swords well hidden behind their shields.
While charging towards their rightmost flank, Xiao Chen met a group of goblins who, despite being surprised, charged at him together. There were four of them running towards him while waving their primitive weapons and shouting their battle-cries. Their foes had already spilled over and were threatening to overrun them from the flanks. Tightening his grip on his weapon, Xiao Chen also charged at the four goblins who had smirks plastered on their faces. They believed that they had the advantage since there are four of them and there is only one opponent for them to deal with.
The rain of missiles by the trolls ended as there was nothing left inside their camp that can be used to hit their enemies. They hanged back behind the Rakshas and watched their comrades cut down the foolish goblins with eased. Cheers erupted as the trolls began to make some noise, since they didn't know what to do next and where they should go. They are also armed with swords and daggers but without being able to see clearly the battlefield; they do not know where they should go to.
With his heavy weapon being dragged behind him, Xiao Chen smiled at his opponents, who did not know the danger that they were heading to. He had an immense advantage in range when it comes to their weapons and he could strike them without them being able to retaliate.
