Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 604 The Hurricane Lord's Resolve

On the southwestern region of the continent of Okan, on a barren plain.

Time passed slowly, and at this moment, the Okan Fortress, located at the only opening of the Thunder Abyss, was still embroiled in battle, with the seemingly endless sounds of fierce fighting shaking the entire land.

On the side of Demon Extermination City, under the command of Wei Xi, the deputy hall master of the Central Continent Imperial War Hall, the attack on Aokan Fortress never stopped. Powerful beast tamers and demon beasts displayed their strength on the battlefield.

The energy fluctuations unleashed by the several large legions gathered within the Demon Extermination City, excluding those used for defense and garrisoning, reached legendary levels at their peak, with power shaking the heavens and the earth.

Such terrifying fluctuations caused damage to the defenses of Okan Fortress, which had been reinforced by legendary trolls, and countless trolls trembled in fear.

After all, for most trolls, since the establishment of the human city of Demon Extermination, it has mostly been their race that initiated wars and launched attacks on the city.

The largest human attack on Okan Fortress was over a decade ago. Even earlier, it dates back to the early days of the Demon City's founding.

Therefore, for most troll warriors, their perception of humans was based on hearsay about their strength, but they didn't have much real experience with them. Even the most experienced veterans felt this way, since the great war that broke out between humans and the troll race when they first arrived on this plane involved too many levels of conflict, and ordinary third- or fourth-tier troll warriors simply didn't have the ability to participate.

But now, facing the largest attack in history, how could the troll warriors guarding the fortress not feel fear in their hearts?

It should be noted that in the battles of the past few days, the Demon Extermination City alone has twenty or thirty sixth-tier extraordinary experts, and as many as a hundred fifth-tier extraordinary experts.

What terrified them most were the human beast tamers. Even though they were just high-level superhumans, and the weakest among their peers, their combat power increased several times over once they started summoning spirit pets.

That's how most of the twenty or thirty sixth-tier extraordinary beings and the hundred or so fifth-tier extraordinary powerhouses came about.

Besides these extraordinary powerhouses, what made the trolls inside Okan Fortress even more uneasy was the presence of legendary figures.

When the war first began, the number of legendary powerhouses displayed by the Demon Extermination City was far greater than that of their troll race. Even though they possessed ritual totems that could draw upon the will of the plane, most trolls held a pessimistic view of the outcome of the legendary battlefield.

In this respect, the third and fourth-tier troll warriors and ordinary commanders are relatively better off, but for those troll powerhouses whose cultivation has reached the fifth or even sixth tier, it's a different story.

After all, the stronger they are, the more they can understand just how powerful the legendary experts from the Demon Extinction City were, and the more they can understand the extent to which the so-called power of the plane's will of their troll race can be exerted.

Because of the greater the knowledge one possesses, the deeper the pessimism in one's heart becomes.

Fortunately, Gudon, the [Burning Hand] from the Flame Troll tribe, displayed the power to break through to the Legendary level; otherwise, perhaps 50-60% of the troll powerhouses in Okan Fortress would have started considering their escape route.

After all, the difference in combat power is simply too great on the surface.

However, now that the battle continues and they are facing the crisis of Okan Fortress falling, the troll warriors, who have almost exhausted all their strength, have no time to think about anything else.

For these powerful trolls, now under the leadership of their Grand Commander, Hurricane Lord Krogg, they have only one unwavering thought: to defend Okan Fortress.

Even though most of them were pessimistic about the outcome of the legendary battle, they would never allow Okan Fortress to fall before the battle was decided.

Unfortunately, facing the overwhelming and well-prepared army of the Demon Extermination City, even with its many backup plans, Okan Fortress still had three lines of defense breached in five days, with the core battlefield extending directly to the outer walls of Okan Fortress.

It was only thanks to the timely arrival of support from the various troll tribes that the fortress's outer walls were breached; otherwise, the last line of defense would have been left in the core hall inside the fortress.

Even so, with as many as thirteen sixth-tier troll warriors and a couple hundred fifth-tier warriors among the reinforcements, [Hurricane Lord] Krog still lacked the confidence to defend the fortress against the overwhelming demon-slaying army.

……

"How's it going? Is there any further support?"

Inside Okan Fortress, Hurricane Lord Krogg turned his head and asked with a hint of expectation in his expression.

Faced with his question, the troll warrior kneeling on one knee broke out in a cold sweat, gritted his teeth, and replied resolutely, "My lord, all the strongmen from the various tribes have arrived here. There are no more strongmen left. If we need more support, we can only send those fourth-tier trolls and ordinary troops."

"Heh, even a fourth-tier troll would be nothing but cannon fodder. What use would it be?" [Hurricane Lord] Krogg slammed his hand down heavily on the stone table beside him, creating a loud bang that made the troll warrior kneeling on one knee in front of him freeze in place.

"The Frost Tribe and the Shadow Tribe, how could the strongmen they sent be all of their strength? Especially the damned Shadow Tribe, they were the ones who attracted those humans, and now that things have come to this, they only have these few strongmen to send as support. Who are they trying to fool?"

After taking a deep breath, [Hurricane Lord] Krogg stared coldly at the respectful troll warrior from his own tribe before him. He ultimately abandoned his plan to silence him, shook his head, and said:

"Remember to keep your mouth shut about what I say today, otherwise I'm not afraid of anything, but with your strength, it's hard to say."

“I understand, Chieftain.” The burly troll warrior raised his head and said resolutely. As a warrior of the Howling Wind tribe, he naturally would not do anything to harm his chieftain.

Seeing this, [Hurricane Lord] Krogg nodded slightly. He wanted to say something, but when he thought of what had happened before, he couldn't help but speak angrily again: "If the Shadow Tribe didn't have a legendary figure, how could they dare to do this? If I hadn't failed to become a legend, why would our tribe have needed to mobilize so many troops?"

At this point in the story, Hurricane Lord Krogg's eyes lowered slightly, and the anger in his heart turned into helplessness and dissatisfaction with himself.

In his view, the main reason why their Howling Wind Tribe has fallen into this state is because of him, because he, the one whom countless members of the tribe have been hoping for, has still failed to break through to the level of a legendary powerhouse.

As a result, during the defense of Okan Fortress, aside from other tribes, all the renowned experts from the Howling Wind tribe were specifically called to come here.

Ultimately, this resulted in the Howling Wind tribe, one of the six major troll tribes, having only three fifth-tier trolls that had been secretly hidden by him many years ago remaining in the tribe.

One of them was assigned to guard the main city, protecting the tribe's descendants and resources—their hope and future. The remaining two fifth-tier members were assigned to guard the Howling Wind Totem, their tribe's only power capable of reaching the legendary level, which could not be lost.

In contrast, the other tribes fared better. The War Trolls were relatively well-off, with almost all of their publicly known powerful members arriving, leaving only one guardian to oversee resources and protect their rear. The Shadow Tribe, Thunder Tribe, and Frost Tribe, however, not only left behind their own hidden warriors, but also at least a few of their well-known figures who did not come to provide support.

Especially the Shadow Tribe, which didn't even have a fifth-tier peak genius come here, how could he feel good about that?

"Alright, you can leave now." After sighing, [Hurricane Lord] Krogh waved his hand and said.

Seeing this, the troll warrior who stood up glanced at the chieftain, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end he nodded and respectfully took his leave.

Finally, only Hurricane Lord Krogh remained in the entire room.

"Sigh, I hope that Okan Fortress can hold out in this battle. No, it definitely can."

As he finished speaking, [Hurricane Lord] Krogg's gaze became even more resolute.

As the chieftain of the Howling Wind Troll tribe, he now understands very well that Okan Fortress cannot afford to lose this battle, no matter what, because the Howling Wind tribe cannot afford to lose.

If they lose this battle, then the Howling Wind Troll tribe will have no choice but to flee to other planes to continue their survival, just like other troll tribes.

Unlike the Thunder Tribe, War Tribe, Frost Tribe, and Shadow Tribe, the Howling Wind Tribe has no legendary powerhouses. The only legendary power they can unleash is through the Howling Wind Totem when they borrow the will of the plane.

However, once they leave this plane, the so-called Howling Wind Totem's effect will plummet. At that time, the Howling Wind Tribe, without legendary combat power, will only be able to eke out a living in another world.

As the chieftain of the Howling Wind Troll tribe, he had one last option: to form an alliance with the Flame Troll tribe, which also lacked legendary trolls. The two tribes would work together to continue their existence in the other world, which would greatly reduce the dangers they faced, even if they couldn't compete with the other troll tribes.

However, with the emergence of a legendary troll in the Flame Troll tribe, the so-called alliance can no longer continue. Otherwise, the entire Howling Wind tribe might become its vassal until it is completely swallowed up.

"Grand Marshal, Grand Commander, heh." [Hurricane Lord] Krogh chuckled self-deprecatingly, then quickly regained his composure and continued reading the battle report, pondering the subsequent defense plan.

…………

At this moment, in the far north region of the continent of Okan.

It is located in the slums on the west side of Frostwind City, one of the three great cities belonging to the Frost Troll Horde.

In a place concealed by an array, Ye Mo leaned back in a recliner with his eyes closed, his mind examining the extraordinary items existing within the contract space.

As the plan was about to begin, a slight sense of tension arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but check again to see if there was anything missing.

As for the extraordinary item, which is one of the most crucial and also his trump card, he naturally had to check it repeatedly to make sure there were no mistakes.

Although his power is now strong enough, under the suppression of his pet Hanhan's domain, and with his subordinates such as the Mountain Giant King Tuze and the Frost Winged Dragon King Hanjue, he is absolutely confident that he can defeat a dozen or so fifth-tier extraordinary trolls, and even inflict casualties on them.

After all, the number of fifth-tier monarch-level experts he brought specifically to target Coldwind Giant City was as high as seventeen. And if you add the fifth-tier experts who were there to prevent other cities from supporting Coldwind Giant City, the total number of experts exceeded twenty.

With such power, he wouldn't feel the slightest fear even when facing a dozen or even twenty or thirty fifth-tier extraordinary experts.

But Ye Mo knew very well that he was facing the Frost Troll Tribe, a powerful race with a legendary heritage.

With such an opponent, once he enters the enemy's giant city, let alone facing a dozen or so fifth-tier trolls, he would need to be on high alert even without facing just one fifth-tier troll.

After all, who knows what cards the other side has up their sleeve? What if they have some powerful backup plan? We might just end up losing.

No matter what, although the power gathered by his spirit pets and magical beast subordinates is strong, with the help of his simple-minded overlord-level domain, he can even suppress an equal number of fifth-tier extraordinary opponents.

However, once they face a sixth-tier extraordinary powerhouse, their domain advantage will be directly eliminated, and the power they can display will be greatly reduced. At that time, let alone continuing to complete the mission, it would be good enough if they could escape successfully.

That's why Ye Mo was so vigilant; even after checking many times, he still wanted to confirm that there were no problems with the extraordinary items.

Logically speaking, given the perilous situation facing Okan Fortress, these troll tribes shouldn't be allowed to leave behind any Tier 6 troll powerhouses. After all, Tier 6 troll powerhouses are an absolute main force in the battles at Okan Fortress.

But there's always a chance of something going wrong. Being cautious by nature, he had to consider how to deal with it if he encountered it. Otherwise, if he faced it directly without preparation, he might accidentally activate [Phoenix Feather] and suffer a huge loss and be forced to retreat.

But how could a sixth-tier transcendent expert be so easily dealt with?

After careful consideration, Ye Mo finally realized that the best way to deal with a sixth-tier opponent was to use his trump card, namely those extraordinary items.

Those invaluable extraordinary items that Lord Li gave him were his trump cards that helped him successfully carry out his plan to disrupt the ritual totem.

Whether it's the extraordinary items used for escape or the extraordinary items for concealment, they are all extremely precious, and their abilities are no weaker than those of ordinary sixth-tier extraordinary individuals.

In particular, the two extraordinary items specifically designed for attack, the Meteor Disc and the Thunderstorm Pearl, are rare, one-time-use Tier 6 extraordinary items. Once activated, they can unleash a powerful attack comparable to that of a peak Tier 6 expert.

Although this kind of attack, which relies on props, is too rigid, especially when his cultivation level is too low.

However, even a sixth-tier superhuman would have to retreat from such a powerful attack, and then he could quickly escape by relying on other superhuman tools for escape.

Therefore, it is never too much to carefully examine these extraordinary life-saving items.
