Rise of the Horde-Chapter 435 -

The air hung heavy with the scent of blood and sulfur, the city a canvas painted in the grotesque hues of chaos. Above the pandemonium, Artanos, the radiant guardian, cast a shimmering, protective dome over the fleeing caravan. Ishaq, his face etched with worry, watched the spectacle unfold. The city, once buzzled with human activity, now throbbed with a chaotic pulse, the symphony of battle replacing the gentle hum of life.

The orcs, their monstrous forms shrouded in the dust of battle. They had descended upon the city like a tide of rage, their eyes burning with a primal hunger. They had come, not for the city's riches, not for its people, nor for its soul, but they had come for something that no human would ever truly understand- the promise of a good fight.

Aedan knew the orcs, their brutality and their insatiable appetite not for conquest, but purely for battle. He had seen their kind rise and fall throughout history, a recurring nightmare that haunted the minds of men. Of all the greatest wars in the world's history, the orcish race would always be present.

The demonic swarm, a force born of pure malice, was something else entirely. It moved like a storm, a whirlwind of shadows and teeth, consuming everything in its path. The orcs, with all their ferocity, slaughtered the demonic swarm without mercy. No quarter given, their hate for the demon race was far more than any other race because of the history between them.

The city, once a testament to human ingenuity, was now a battleground for forces beyond mortal understanding. The air was thick with the scent of decay, the ground littered with the shattered remnants of civilization. The cries of the dying, the roars of the orcs, the guttural shrieks of the demons, all blended into a cacophony of despair.

The air was thick with the weight of impending doom as the city bore witness to a battle unlike any other. The orcs, their massive forms shrouded in the dust of the chaos, moved with a disciplined ferocity that echoed the tactics of the unit that they were based upon.

They fought as a singular entity, a war machine honed to perfection. Their eyes, burning with an unquenchable thirst for combat, struck fear into the hearts of their foes. Wielding their massive weapons with calculated precision, they formed an impenetrable wall of flesh and iron, advancing with an unwavering determination that struck terror into the hearts of their enemies.

In stark contrast, the demonic swarm, a force of pure anarchic energy, resembled that of the barbarian hordes that doesn't have any proper tactics or maneuvers, just charging forward to try and overwhelm their foes with their numbers and strength alone.

But the primal style of the demons came with some troubles, they fought with a savage fury, and their attacks wild and unpredictable. Their fighting style was a chaotic dance, a whirlwind of claws and fangs that sought to rip and tear their opponents to shreds.

The demons' eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, reflecting the depths of their malevolent origin. They shrieked and howled, their voices carrying the weight of primal rage, as they threw themselves at the orcish horde with abandon.

The clash between these two forces was a spectacle of carnage and fury. The orcs, with their disciplined ranks and impenetrable defenses, held their ground against the frenzied assaults of the swarm. Their massive shields, adorned with the symbols of their horde and warband, formed a barrier that deflected the demonic onslaught.

The orcs fought with a calculated brutality, their weapons finding weak spots in the swarm's defenses, exploiting every opportunity to strike with maximum effect. Yet, the demonic swarm was relentless in their assault.

They moved with a fluidity that defied tactics, striking from unexpected angles and exploiting any gap in the orcs' defenses. Their attacks were a blur of motion, a frenzy of teeth and claws that left deep wounds in their wake.

The very ground shook with the force of their charge, as if the world itself was terrified of their advance.

As the battle raged on, the city crumbled under the weight of their fury. Buildings toppled, streets painted with the blood of the fallen, and the air became heavy with the smoke of burning homes.

The cries of the dying echoed through the streets, a mournful chorus that spoke of the city's demise. The once-great metropolis had become a graveyard, a testament to the destructive forces that had been unleashed upon it.

Despite the carnage, the battle raged on with no clear victor in sight. The orcs, with their unwavering discipline, held their ground, while the demonic swarm, driven by their primal rag, showed no signs of retreat.
