One by one, the orcs of the Dragon Nest Tribe charged into the "Jackal Wolfman Tribe" through the collapsed walls. The tightly-knit army formation, akin to a meat grinder, found itself embroiled in a bitter struggle within the inner area. The number of elite enemy orcs compensated for other shortcomings. If it weren't for the adept cooperation and tight formation of the Dragon Nest orcs, they might have already been overturned by the "Jackal Wolfman Tribe."
Centaurs formed ranks, moving around the perimeter to unleash volleys of arrows. Arrows rained down one by one, killing enemy orcs and continuously striking at the morale of the "Jackal Wolfman Tribe."
Yet, even so, both sides were still locked in a fierce battle.
The Blood Claw Tribe was a large tribe located hundreds of miles to the north. Although it's unclear why they diverted forces here to establish a base, they lacked neither food nor reinforcements. The tribe's elite orcs were mostly Bronze Level Super Professionals, with many of middle and high tier. Even the ordinary orcs were exceptionally elite.
As for the Dragon Nest Tribe, the reformed Dark Dragon Guard and Dragon Vein Attendants barely had the strength of Bronze Low Tier. If it weren't for the well-trained army and their ability to cooperate and triumph against stronger enemies, they might have already been routed by the "Jackal Wolfman Tribe."
Amid the bloody battle, orcs were pierced by long spears or had their limbs smashed by the massive weapons swung by Extraordinary orcs. The battle had entered a vicious hand-to-hand combat stage.
If there were no unexpected events, this brutal fighting would continue until one side could no longer hold out.
And given the current evenly matched situation between the two armies, with faith and discipline providing an absolute advantage, the Dragon Nest Tribe was destined to be the last to collapse.
However, when that time comes, the Dragon Nest Tribe might suffer heavy losses.
Austin naturally wouldn't allow such a situation to occur. Even if they managed to attack the Blood Claw Tribe branch successfully, he would still have to face another formidable enemy.
That would be the ruler of this Blood Claw Tribe branch, Grom, who had not yet returned from the Blood Claw Tribe's headquarters.
According to the Dark Elf, Grom's strength was already close to the Gold Level standard.
If it were a solo fight, Austin certainly wouldn't be able to defeat him alone. The Dragon Nest Tribe's clan would have to exhaust his stamina or restrain him on the side, joining forces with Austin to encircle and kill him.
For this reason, the Dragon Nest Tribe's clan must not suffer too many casualties.
Just as Austin in the dense forest at the rear was about to move out, suddenly,
Woo, woo, woo!
From the central hall of the tribe came the deep and resonant sound of a horn, as if a spirit of war emerged from the horizon, covering every corner of the world.
Upon hearing this horn, the orcs on the Blood Claw Tribe branch's side were immediately invigorated, as if something in them was awakened by the unseen. Even the tribe's most elite Extraordinary orcs became ferociously brave, as if each orc gained a few extra imposing forces from nowhere.
Instantly, the balance of war tipped toward the Blood Claw Tribe branch.
Facing the seemingly berserk Blood Claw Tribe orcs, the Dragon Nest Tribe struggled to hold on, but as the sound of the enemy's horn echoed across the sky, they couldn't help showing signs of defeat.
"Is this... a War Demonic Artifact? Hmph!"
In the dense forest behind the Dragon Nest Tribe, Austin, initially preparing to step onto the battlefield, was clearly taken aback, then let out a cold snort.
The so-called War Demonic Artifact is naturally a magical artifact crafted for war, possessing group enhancement effects. For instance, the current horn sound faced by the Dragon Nest Tribe contained Magic Power, able to awaken the fierceness within their orcs and even subtly hypnotize them, achieving the effect of significantly enhancing the combat power of their soldiers.
Apart from the mysterious horn of the Blood Claw Tribe, similar simple War Demonic Artifacts exist worldwide, some capable of greatly augmenting the output capabilities of Mages or Warriors. In the legacy memories of Austin's Dragon Ball, humans used plenty of these War Demonic Artifacts or similar War Enhancement Scrolls while hunting dragons.
"A War Demonic Artifact, hmm, time to take matters into my own hands!"
With a sigh, Austin unfurled his wings and took flight.
Behind the Dragon Nest Tribe, a massive shadow flapped powerful gales, descending slowly from the sky, landing behind the Dragon Nest Tribe. The dragon's might swept across the land, and visible shockwaves rolled outward.
"Roar!!!"
Austin bellowed into the heavens, his thunderous voice ascending to the skies and sweeping every corner around.
"My subjects, annihilate them!"
The voice, like thunder, swept across the land. Its ancient and solemn tone even overshadowed the horn of the Blood Claw Tribe, the airflow and windstorm rising alongside it.
Initially, there was silence all around; the next moment, the entire Dragon Nest Tribe erupted in cheers.
"Oh! For Lord Austin!"
"Charge!"
With Austin's appearance, the Dragon Nest Tribe orcs immediately seemed to surge with adrenaline, madly brandishing their weapons and charging forward. The deeply ingrained steadfast belief, the individual faith in Austin's utmost reverence, was instantly ignited with his entrance.
The impact of this belief far surpassed the horn of the Blood Claw Tribe, leading to a counterattack by the Dragon Nest Tribe that directly suppressed the Blood Claw Tribe's side.
But that is not enough!
Austin understood that although the Dragon Nest Tribe temporarily subdued the enemy's morale, it was far from defeating them thoroughly.
To crush the enemy swiftly and defeat this tribe with minimal cost, he would have to act personally!
His membranous wings slowly unfurled, generating a savage whirlwind as Austin's massive form ascended, hovering in mid-air.
Crackle!!!
With the activation of Talent Magic, the Magic Power inside began converting into currents of electricity flickering around, thick lightning like a thumb dancing wildly in the air, as intense gales surged around.
Thunder Strike Technique!
But it wasn't merely Thunder Strike Technique. With the third Talent Magic activated, Austin could control the electric currents and lightning within his range, with Thunder Strike Technique's thunder being one of them.
Previously, when Austin used Thunder Strike Technique, the resulting lightning struck directly from the sky onto the enemies.
But now, with the Thunder Control Talent Magic, the thunder generated by the Thunder Strike Technique was completely under his command.
Strands of electric currents danced wildly in the air, emitting dazzlingly bright light, piercing the sky with rumbling sounds, gathering terrifying power amid the fierce wind above.
