I will lose! I will die!

The instinct for battle had already given Sades the answer; he understood better than anyone that he could not defeat the towering beast king.

But is this a reason to admit defeat? Is this a reason to stop fighting?

"Kill! For the glory of Stoneclaw!"

Sades roared and brandished his spiked club, his beastly eyes wide with rage, continuing his duel with Ye Mingqiu in the narrow passage, the clanging and clashing of their weapons echoing through the air.

A burst of pure fighting spirit and power erupted, and smiles appeared on both of their faces.

They roared, they howled, they unleashed their power, they attacked each other, they beat each other to a bloody pulp, and they pushed the battle to its climax.

Their blood splattered on the narrow path, their attacks widened it, the earth crumbled and collapsed, and the orcs behind them roared and howled. This was a war of glory, a release of power, and the most primal form of conquest.

The Blood Spear stirred, attempting to channel life energy into Ye Mingqiu through the link to restore his life, but was met with a stern refusal from its master.

In fact, from the moment he was first restored and Sades chose to fight him to the death, Ye Mingqiu had already given up on restoring his life through the Blood Spear. This was out of his yearning for battle and glory, and also out of respect for Sades' life.

He could have won with more dignity, but he chose to respect this warrior who was willing to fight to the death for glory. His blood will record his bravery, and to die in a real battle is the best tribute.

"bump!"

Sades knelt on the ground, his blood staining the cracked, collapsed earth red before flowing into the abyss through the fissures. He smiled bitterly, the weakness of impending death enveloping him, yet he felt a joy that emanated from his very soul. This was a salvation unique to a select few orcs; he had gained something more important than life itself.

Congratulations. You won.

"Ah."

"Where is my heart of stone?"

"The Blood-Eroded Fang".

“Alright, I’ll remember you. I hope you can become the strongest Beast King; that would be my greatest honor,” said Rockheart-Sardes while coughing up blood.

"I will keep your head as my most precious trophy," Ye Mingqiu said.

For orcs, this is the best form of remembrance; it reflects their values ​​and is the highest form of remembrance recognized by them.

"grateful."

Sades' smile deepened. The blood in his body had stopped flowing, as it had dried up. Trembling, he took out a blue stone from his robes and presented it to Ye Mingqiu with both hands, saying, "Rock, it belongs to you. May Stoneclaw become great because of you and become a stronger tribe."

"Alright, from today onwards, Stoneclaw will belong to Blackfang! To Blood-Eroded Fang!" Ye Mingqiu took the blue stone, raised it above his head, and announced to all the orcs present.

"Blood-Eroded Fangs!"

"Blood-Eroded Fangs!"

"Blood-Eroded Fangs!"

The orcs on both sides shouted, roared, and even cheered together. This was a unique handover of power and a unique ceremony of glory for the orcs.

Only a stronger Beast King can initiate this ceremony. Only the Beast King is the king of all orcs, the true king who can conquer other tribes through battle and glory.

When faced with attacks from other tribal chiefs, the attacked tribe often chooses to fight to the last moment; this is the difference between having a Beastmaster and not having one.

Sades laughed

The next moment, he fell to the ground, into a pool of blood, his life completely extinguished. But even in death, his face was filled with a deep smile. He had lived a happy life and died a blissful one.

Mark and his psionic squad watched all this from afar, gaining a new understanding of the Overlord's strength. A Level 2 Overlord fighting a Level 5 Monarch, and the one who survived the fierce battle was the Level 2 Overlord. What does this mean? The gap between an Overlord and a Monarch has exceeded the level difference of 3 levels.

No wonder textbooks say that if you encounter a powerful being in the spirit world, you must never confront them head-on, no matter what their level is.

On the other side, Ye Mingqiu, covered in blood, gradually frowned. After experiencing it firsthand, he had already felt the power of a Level 5 Monarch.

If he faces a level 5 king in a one-on-one fight, he can win without using the Tyrant Form. However, if he faces other beast kings, or other level 4 or even level 5 overlords, he probably won't be able to win.

"Oh no, it seems I have no chance to kill the overlord in this world," Ye Mingqiu thought sadly.

There's no way around it; the level difference is just too great. Even within the same rank, a difference of three levels makes it impossible to fight.

Ugh!

Why does my king sigh?

The engraving quietly stepped forward and asked.

"On the Beast God Continent, how many Beast Kings are there?"

Ye Mingqiu asked directly.

After a moment's thought, the mark said, "Besides you, there is only one other, the old Beast King who leads the strongest tribe of the Beastmen - the King of Beasts - Kachi Aster."

Based on his conjecture, he continued, following Ye Mingqiu's words, "Lord Garr, there is no need to worry about the future of the orcs. As long as you are here, the orcs will surely move towards the most glorious future."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu gave him a deep look, and then responded softly.

If that's the case, then his grand ambition to conquer the world of the beast race can continue. The old beast king, Kachi Aster, is currently the biggest obstacle to Ye Mingqiu's conquest of the world, but after all, he is an old beast king, and his strength may have declined due to his advanced age.

It seems that victory is not entirely impossible?

Moreover, and more importantly, he is now a member of the beastmen, not a human.

Human power transitions are often accompanied by bloodshed, concealment, and various schemes, but the beastmen are different. In the beastmen, power transitions depend entirely on strength and the ability to lead the beastmen to the pinnacle. As long as one gains the approval of the old beast king, one may directly become the new king of all beasts.

"Lord Gar, we have now captured the Stoneclaw tribe. According to intelligence, the Stoneclaw tribe controls a strategically important location and has demanded considerable resources and food from other passing tribes, thus their internal resources are relatively abundant."

The mark paused slightly, then asked softly, "Should we continue our attack on the Bloodaxe tribe?"

"want."

“Following Lord Gar’s instructions, I will devise a new strategy for you,” Mark said, bowing deeply.

He was not surprised by Ye Mingqiu's answer. In the previous series of events, he had gradually come to understand the style of this Blood-Eroded Fang. He was not simply reckless, but rather a shrewd and meticulous man who would advance recklessly and seize the greatest benefits.

Attacking the Stoneclaw tribe may seem unwise, but that was based on the premise that Ye Mingqiu could not defeat the Stoneclaw tribe's leader. If they had known earlier that this Beast King had such strength, then their initial ideas and plans would have been different.

He misjudged, and so did the skeleton. No one expected that this level 2 overlord beast king would be so strong, capable of defeating even a level 5 monarch head-on.

And

He seems to still have energy left?

The engraving had previously failed to detect Ye Mingqiu, and he thought that the other party had some kind of equipment or skill that could resist detection. But now it seems that perhaps he simply has a high mental attribute, after all, the strength of the spell he used was by no means low.

If he uses magic, he might be able to exert greater combat power in battle.

This is how the markings were deduced.

"Warriors of the Stoneclaw Tribe! Do you yearn for new victories?!" Ye Mingqiu stood up and walked step by step toward the heart of the tribe, asking.

"eager!"

"eager!"

"eager!"

A large number of orcs shouted in response. They wanted the power that Ye Mingqiu possessed, and they wanted to fight alongside the Beast King. To be able to fight alongside the Beast King was the dream of many orcs, and it was also an honor for them.

Therefore, even though at first the skeletons did not think Ye Mingqiu was capable of fighting Blood Axe, they still selected the strongest warriors in the tribe.

That was the treatment a king deserved, and the glory orc warriors were entitled to. Even though Kugu didn't believe Ye Mingqiu could win, he remained loyal to the king and wholeheartedly carried out the king's orders.

"Very good, warriors of the Stoneclaw tribe, assemble immediately, gather your weapons and food, and join me in a new battle! Let us achieve new victories!"

"victory!"

"victory!"

"victory!"

Countless orcs roared, and more and more orc warriors gathered and stood in front of Ye Mingqiu.

The Stoneclaw tribe has a considerable number of orc warriors. The reason we encountered fewer of them before was simply because their tribe was overrun before they could react, and many of the orc warriors were not actually able to play a significant role.

If we want to win by force, it will take a lot more time.

"Hounds and hounds, count the number of people."

Ye Mingqiu said.

"Yes, Lord Gar."

Mark tried his best to maintain a smile, but his lips still twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "My name is Mark, not Hawkhound. This Beast King is truly something else."

After releasing his mental energy and briefly counting, he turned and replied, "Reporting, sir, approximately 2000 warriors from the Stoneclaw tribe have joined. Some orc warriors are also out on the move; if we wait a little longer, the number might rise to over 3000."

"No more waiting, send troops directly to attack the Blood Axe Tribe," Ye Mingqiu ordered.

The strategy of blitzing the Bloodaxe tribe is all about exploiting the information gap. If you waste time trying to increase the quantity of attacks, you're putting the cart before the horse.

Chapter 114 The war breaks out!

Sunset Plains is the only plain outside the Blood Axe tribe, and also the area least likely to be attacked. If an attack is launched here, then a full-scale war with the Blood Axe tribe will be the only option.

Ye Mingqiu rode a giant earth dragon that was over eight meters long, leading more than three thousand orc warriors out of the plains, like a silent and oppressive dark cloud slowly pressing towards the Blood Axe tribe.

"Chief, the terrain of Sunset Plains is not suitable for blitzkrieg. We can attack from other directions, such as the dense forest to the southwest, which will minimize casualties."

Mogna rode beside Ye Mingqiu on horseback, cautiously offering suggestions to the new king.

In fact, these suggestions were given to her by the Scarred Squad. After much deliberation, the chieftain's daughter, whose intelligence was clearly superior to that of ordinary orcs, finally understood the situation and made suggestions to the Beast King Ye Mingqiu.

"I will crush them with absolute power."

Ye Mingqiu gave a simple answer, his huge beastly eyes fixed on the Blood Axe Tribe's main camp, his eyes filled with surging battle intent.

The situation is different now.

The mark revealed crucial information to him: there is only one Beast King on the Beast God Continent, the Old Beast King.

To confirm this information, Ye Mingqiu subtly inquired with other orcs, and finally confirmed that there really was only one Beast King on the Beast God Continent.

However, this is normal. Overlords are top-tier powerhouses who do not appear frequently. Even in the level 4 world of Eredonia, there are not many overlords.

In this situation, what Ye Mingqiu needs to do most is no longer to proceed steadily, but to use his own efforts and strength to show the beastmen his muscles and power through war, to make a name for himself in the war, and to become a respected beast king.

Then, attract the attention of the old Beast King, strive to make him abdicate, successfully control the entire Beast God Continent, and usher in a new era.

Therefore, confronting the Bloodaxe tribe head-on on Sunset Plains is the best option.

'It's hopeless.'

Not far away, Kehen looked at Ye Mingqiu's reaction and sighed, already prepared to run away during the war at any time.

However, he wouldn't run away immediately. After all, following the overlord to scavenge for loot would also allow him to pick up quite a few low-quality treasure chests. Before a complete rout, he and the psionic squad wouldn't easily leave the battlefield.

'Maybe he's stronger than we think?' the assassin said in a private chat.

"Although this Beast King is quite powerful, he still commands an army of 20,000 orcs, along with various war resources, weapons, and war beasts. This is not something he can contend with through sheer force," Mark replied.

"War! Thump thump thump!"

"War! Thump thump thump!"

"War! Thump thump thump!"

Roars and the sound of war drums echoed across the Sunset Plains as Ye Mingqiu's army made no attempt to conceal their actions, taunting the Blood Axe Tribe in the simplest and most primitive way.

Meanwhile, the Bloodaxe tribe's orcs reacted swiftly at their chieftain's command, with countless warriors pouring out in a short period of time. The blood-red-skinned Bloodaxe tribe orcs resembled a crimson raging tide, spreading across the entire plain.

Heavy war drums were sounded, thousands of orcs roared and howled, and the war beasts emitted terrifying sounds that shook the surrounding land.

At the forefront of the battle formation were dozens of war behemoths clad in heavy bone armor, with fangs like halberds—the Bloodfang Mammoths, the strongest beasts of the Blood Axe tribe.

They are enormous and incredibly powerful; the mere movement of their giant feet can cause the earth to tremble slightly, making them as terrifying as demons standing on the battlefield.

Then came hundreds of chariots, pulled by strong orcs and covered in thorns and spikes. The spikes, made of white bones, faintly contained a crimson color, the indelible bloodstains left by countless battles.

Then came the densely packed, seemingly endless ranks of Blood Axe Warriors, who pounded their blood axes against their shields, roaring and howling, their bloodthirsty eyes locked onto the approaching enemy.

On the largest battlefield, a tall orc carrying a giant blood axe over three meters long looked at Ye Mingqiu from afar and said, "Beast King from afar, this is not a tribe you can challenge. Please return."

Akash Dale the Skullbreaker, chieftain of the Bloodaxe tribe, as a man who leads a large tribe, sensed something was amiss when Ye Mingqiu and others started drumming and provoking him. His instincts from the orc wars told him that the giant orc riding the earth dragon was no ordinary man.

So he summoned all the warriors, chariots, and giant beasts in the tribe to confront them. Sure enough, the giant orc was indeed the Beast King.

"Humph!"

Ye Mingqiu sneered and said, "I, the Beast King of the Black Fang Tribe, now launch a baptism of war against the Blood Axe Tribe."

"Out of control."
