-(゜-゜) The Orks' Great Battle Against the Devourers (2)
Just then!
While Fang Yuan, Qianli, and the other Dragonbone Village Awakeners on duty along the border wall watched the Ork army tensely, shouting and gasping in astonishment, the enormous Devourers known as Earthshakers—who had been ready and waiting—finally launched the first attack!

But this didn't scare the Orks off. If anything, it only fired them up
