This scene even made the brave and warlike Lizardmen warriors retreat.

A terrifying evil aura surrounded the Orc army.

One of the warriors was frightened by the scene before him and fell down just as he was about to step back. The Orc soldiers did not miss this good opportunity and rushed towards the Lizardmen warriors.

He was dragged into the mire, his hands and feet were torn off, and he died.

For the first time since the war began, Lizardmen were killed.

His death was the beginning.

After the lowest-ranking soldiers eat monsters and gain abilities, the power will eventually fall into the hands of the Orc King.

Unlike Rimuru's unique skill, "Predator," it doesn't fully replicate its abilities. However, it does have a strength over "Predator." Besides its abilities, it can also inherit the physical characteristics of monsters. It can absorb the opponent's abilities to a certain extent and return them to its subordinates.

This is "Food Chain", one of the abilities of the unique skill "Hungry One".

They are both a group and individuals.

This is very different from the characteristics of the Yalang tribe, but this kind of group behavior is the characteristic of the "Hungry Ones".

This is why the Lizardman leader is so afraid of casualties in battle.

In order to prevent the individuals in the tribe from losing their advantage over the orcs.

Even if you can't take away all of an opponent's abilities, you can still acquire certain traits. What you gain will be projected onto all orcs.

For example, it can grow webbed feet that allow it to move freely even in mud.

For example, making scales grow on vital parts of the body to increase defense - such subtle changes.

Those changes appeared in the Orc army.

However - with these subtle changes, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed dramatically.

"Don't be afraid! Let them see how powerful the mighty Lizardmen are!"

Encouraged by Gabil, the morale of the lizardmen warriors began to rise.

As the overlords of the wetlands, they felt at ease fighting on a battlefield that was advantageous to them, and they launched another offensive against the Orc army.

They already knew that they could move faster than the Orc army.

The orc army's feet were tripped by the mud and they were unable to keep up with the speed of the lizardmen.

Even if we are outnumbered, it doesn't matter. As long as we can get around the flank of the army with weak defenses and launch an offensive against them, it will be easy to cut them off and defeat them individually as we did just now.

Logically speaking, this is the right thing to do...

The Lizardmen planned to attack from the side, and the Orc army also maintained its formation to respond.

The speed of action is several times faster than before.

(Hmm! The orcs' movements have changed...?)

By the time Gabil found out, it was already too late.

The enemy forces moved left and right at an unprecedented speed, surrounding the Lizardmen warriors.

With coordinated movements, the 20,000 soldiers will quickly block the retreat of Gobil's army.

They got too complacent and attacked too deeply, which led to their own destruction.

Overconfident in their own mobility, they thought it would be easy to escape the slow-moving Orcs, and ended up attacking too far, penetrating too deep into enemy territory.

The Orc army currently facing Gobil and his men consisted of a detachment of 10,000 men and an advance force of 30,000, totaling 40,000 men. Half of them had already circled the rear of the Lizardmen.

Gabil hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to break through head-on. If they turned back, the slow-moving goblins, not to mention the lizardmen, would be unable to keep up. They would be surrounded by the orc army, ultimately facing annihilation.

Gobil only sees the goblins as human shields, but he is not so cold-blooded as to watch them die without helping.

"Follow my steps! We must break through the Orc army's encirclement in one fell swoop!"

Gabil shouted, charging towards the Orc army and engaging them head-on.

If the Orc army today had not been affected by the unique skill "Hungerer", perhaps Gobil would have been able to break out of the siege.

However, that's just an assumption.

In fact, the Lizardmen warriors launched a powerful attack, while the Orc army formed a defensive formation in the front, and the Lizardmen's attack was fragilely shattered by the formation.

This moment decided the fate of the Lizardman Warriors—Gabil.

The blockade around the perimeter is almost complete.

Chapter 352: The War is Coming

In addition, the main force of the Orc army also joined the wetland battle one after another.

Gabil and his companions fell into the most dire situation, trapped among the enemy, like insects being devoured by army ants.

Judging from the current situation, even if they fight hard, they will still die from exhaustion.

Gabil is not incompetent.

In just a moment, he had correctly analyzed the situation his army was currently facing.

However, he didn't understand how this had happened. His army was a powerful force that should have been certain of victory, but suddenly their attack was ineffective. This was something Gabil had not expected.

Despite this, Gabil did not give up and tried his best to struggle.

He tried his best to raise his voice to reorganize the army, while at the same time not forgetting to encourage everyone.

The goblins began to panic, and the lizardmen were also infected with the anxiety. This feeling had to be stopped at all costs.

Once panic spreads on the battlefield, no one will obey orders. Then defeat is certain, and the entire army will be annihilated.

Gabil also considered the possibility of retreat, but he knew that his army had no way out.

Even if they found a way to break through the encirclement, they would have nowhere to escape.

When they launched the attack, the entire army was under Gabil's control, and each regiment left the cave in an orderly manner. However, when they tried to escape into the cave, the route was too narrow to accommodate them.

Once the order to retreat is issued, the goblins will surely rush to escape and block the cave entrance.

By that time, their retreat route would be cut off, the army would be in chaos, and the Lizardmen would have no choice but to wait to be killed by the Orcs.

No——Basically, even reaching the cave is difficult.

If they had not fled into the caves but headed for the forest instead, the Orc army would have been more mobile than before, and they would have been pursued and individually defeated.

Can't retreat.

Gabil understood this very well.

Now he finally understood why his brave father had chosen to defend the city and adopt such a passive tactic.

I was such an idiot. But it was too late to regret it.

Now he could only do one thing, which was to encourage his companions and alleviate their anxiety to some extent.

"Guwahahaha! Don't be so scared! I'm here. I won't lose to those pigs!"

He shouted words that he himself could not believe in order to boost the morale of the troops.

Now, the fate of Gabil and others is about to come to an end.

Ahhh...

The leader let out a sigh.

He regrets it.

I shouldn't have treated that as a legend. I should have told Gabil the truth and let him know how terrifying the Orc King is.

To be precise, the leader did speak, but he didn't share those terrifying rumors, which made him regret it deeply. This was because even he himself treated the rumors as a thing of the past and didn't take them seriously.

(It’s all my fault…)

The leader felt quite guilty.

If Gobil knew the Orc King well, he might be more alert.

It was too late. The leader sighed and gave up the idea.

He still has responsibilities to bear.

Looking at the compatriots in the hall, everyone looked uneasy.

There are four main roads leading to the wetland, with a retreat route left at the back.

The escape route should be safe. It leads directly to the hills below the mountainous area.

Taking that route would be a longer detour to leave the forest, but it would also keep them away from the wetlands. Furthermore, the escape route they had prepared was so safe that even women and children wouldn't get lost.

Therefore, we should be wary of the four roads ahead.

The troops fighting back against the Orcs at the various forks in the road began to retreat cautiously and gather here.

The final defense force deployed on the four roads was reduced to 1,500 men, and the remaining troops had yet to join them.

The orc army is huge. Judging from the number of people, this place will definitely be discovered soon.

I hope that the remaining fighting forces can be concentrated as much as possible before tragedy strikes, but...

The leader glanced toward the escape route.

All our compatriots gathered here, and although it was a hall, it was packed.

If these people rush to the escape route at once, it will definitely be impossible to evacuate everyone in time.

We should take this opportunity to let everyone escape gradually.

Regardless of whether they spoke first or later, there was no way to avoid causing confusion among the masses. The chances of genocide had to be minimized at all costs.

But even if they escape into the forest, they will be discovered by the Orc army sooner or later.

Even if they manage to escape, there is no guarantee that they will be able to maintain a smooth life in the future.

Taking many factors into consideration, the leader was reluctant to order everyone to flee.

As a result, he could only buy time for the tribe.

Used to wait for reinforcements that may or may not arrive.

However, the leader's slim hope was shattered.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting rang out in the passage, and the smell of blood mixed with sweat and iron wafted over.

(here we go……)

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

The leader immediately ordered the women and children to take shelter at the back of the hall and deployed combatants at the front.

In order to respond when the blockade line is broken by the enemy.

The soldiers raised their spears and formed an arc as planned to prepare for battle.

They have to find a way to block the exits of the four passages.

This time, he no longer looked down on the orcs and thought they were inferior to him. Instead, he used the tactic of outnumbering the enemy and actually eliminated them.

Fortunately, the passage was not very wide, so the number of enemy troops that could enter at one time was reduced.

Judging from the ratio of individual combat power, the combat power of the Lizardmen is only slightly longer than that of the Orc army.

If we arrange the formation in this way, we should be able to gain some advantage.

At first, things did not develop as the leader expected.

The Orc army has become stronger than ever, but they still have ways to deal with it.

The troops scattered along the four avenues ahead are trying to stop the orc army.

They took turns to attack, step by step. However, the good times did not last long.

Corpses began to pile up near the exit, and the orcs ate them and tried to continue their invasion. The sight was so terrifying that even the hardy lizardmen warriors began to feel fear.

Then came the critical moment.

The orc soldiers began to emit yellow evil aura.
