The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 903

Chapter 903 Follow Rae's Lead

The Orcs took Rae's words as gospel truth, and fired magical flares up into the sky, lighting up the portals and the incoming army. The locals were staggering and laughing as they ran to grab weapons and don armour, but the children were tasked to stay by Lotus.

Not for their safety, or at least not entirely.

Their job was to keep up the songs so that the party didn't have to end while the adults fought a glorious night battle.

Remi came out to confer with the village shaman and her assistant, then began preparing large spells to handle the threat.

Instead of remaining inside the city walls and casting out, Remi had transformed into Spirit Snake form with the decrepit old Orc Shaman on her back, so they could both see what was going on.

The Orcs were up on the wall, and Lotus had the perfect spell for this situation.

[Field of Vines] was primarily an entanglement ability. But she could just make the vines perfectly straight and stiff, while the Orcs cut them off to hurl them as spears toward the undead.

The vines regrew instantly as the Tree of Life appeared in the middle of the village, and Tessa mounted Thor, ready to leap over the wall the moment that the charge was sounded.

Staggering drunk, and from a hundred metres away, the Orcs were missing far more throws than they hit, but they were certainly having fun competing for kills as they laughed.

Karl was a bit more pragmatic, and much more sober, so he took out his bow and began to target everything that wasn't a zombie.

The mindless undead were not the weakest in the army, but they were the least threatening if the leadership group was eliminated.

So far, the only thing that had come through the portals was a horde of zombies and a few Demonic Necromancers, who had been no match for the might of [Void Blast] on Karl's arrows. It made for a chaotic situation outside the walls, as the zombies were drawn to the signs of life, but they were left without guidance on what might be an important target.

Then Cara realized that there was a better way to annoy the undead.

[Sister Remi, cast Apocalypse through all the portals and see who comes out to play.] She insisted.

She was circling over the battlefield, waiting for someone to play with, but they weren't sending anyone.

The shambling horde was almost to the town walls now, and more of the spears were hitting their targets, leaving a swathe of undead corpses in the fields as the horde approached.

Nachtia unleashed a wall of her black mist breath weapon, which caused the undead who entered to simply crumple to the ground, lifeless. In the dark, the zombies didn't even know that they were walking into danger.

Chief Snakebite stood beside Karl, hurling spears made of Lotus' vines, and laughed as Thor created a coating of ice along the ground with [Blockade], and the undead began to slip and stumble.
