Soon, more and more orcs gathered beneath the walls. Behind them, a towering Orc Warrior stepped onto the human wall formed by the orcs and leaped up. One hand actually caught the edge of the wall.
"Crack!" A Baqi soldier brought his blade down, severing the Orc Warrior's fingers and sending him screaming back down.
"Pour!!!" Seeing that the enemy could now threaten the walls, a Baqi officer immediately ordered the soldiers to pour down the hot oil.
The order echoed along the walls as the soldiers tending the cauldrons of hot oil grabbed their pry bars and heaved them up.
Cauldron after cauldron of scalding oil poured directly down beneath the walls.
For a time, cries of agony filled the area below. The orcs doused in the boiling oil screamed in pain as they fell, and before long, the smell of charred flesh drifted up to the walls.
The Baqi soldiers calmly poured the oil they had prepared into the cauldrons and continued heating it.
The Reincarnators, meanwhile, had all gone pale. Even Chen Feng looked unwell. The waves of meaty aroma made him feel sick at the thought of fried meat.
The orcs behind them weren't going to look after their wounded comrades. They trampled them underfoot and continued surging toward the walls.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from nearby. Right in front of the northwestern gate of Baqi City, the orcs quickly parted to make way.
Dozens of exceptionally large Orc Warriors carried a massive tree trunk across the bridge and charged toward the gate.
Unlike the anxious Reincarnators, the Baqi soldiers each held their posts, showing no sign of disorder.
Just as the Orc Warriors charged onto the bridge, a massive wall of fire appeared across it.
At some point, a mage wielding a Yan Yue had appeared atop the tower above Baqi's main gate.
The Orc Warriors who had just stepped onto the bridge jumped about as the wall of fire scorched them, leaving the massive battering ram to slowly turn to ash in the flames.
The mage's appearance was like a signal. Countless Orc Warriors rushed out of the Orc Army.
First, they crossed the moat on simple wooden bridges. Then they turned around, lifted the bridges behind them, and set them against the city wall.
The moat was extremely wide, and the wooden bridges extended more than two-thirds of the way across once they were set against the wall.
The Orc Warriors used the bridges as ramps and charged straight toward the wall.
The oil hadn't come to a full boil yet, and there were simply too many Orc Warriors. Before long, some of them managed to climb onto the wall.
As the first Orc Warrior charged up, grinning savagely as he rushed at a nearby Baqi soldier, an arrow flew over and struck him in the neck. Its tremendous force sent him flying backward.
Chen Feng turned to look in the direction the arrow had come from. The archer was a Reincarnator wearing fine leather armor and carrying a huge bow.
He glanced at Chen Feng's Heavy Armor, made a throat-slitting gesture, then drew his bow and sent another Orc Warrior flying with an arrow.
Chen Feng didn't have time to respond to his provocation. He figured word had already spread about him beating up the Seventh Knight's nephew, and he seemed to have been mistaken for that Korean bastard.
Chen Feng charged straight to the wall and kicked down an Orc Warrior who had leaped up. Then he jumped down from the wall and charged along the makeshift siege ladder formed by the enemy's wooden bridges.
The Northern Darkness True Qi Chen Feng had absorbed from the Orc Warriors and that Orc Hero had been fully digested. His stats had increased again, and his strength in particular had surpassed 200.
He hoisted one of the makeshift wooden bridges as a weapon and swung it with all his might, sweeping away the crowd of orcs rushing toward him.
He even knocked over another wooden bridge that had been set up nearby.
But the bridge was far too heavy. Chen Feng tossed it into the moat, shook his numb hands, drew the Zhamao from his back, and charged toward another bridge.
Not a single orc or Orc Warrior who charged at him stood a chance. The sharp Eight Desolations easily tore through their flesh and took their lives.
"Roar!" Seeing Chen Feng slaughtering orcs left and right, an enraged roar came from the far side of the moat. An Orc Hero bounded over the makeshift wooden bridge and reached Chen Feng in a few leaps, bringing down the giant axe in his hands with a vicious swing.
"Clang!" Overconfident, Chen Feng raised the Eight Desolations to block the descending axe. Its tremendous force made his legs buckle, and he nearly dropped to his knees.
"AAAAAAAH!" Chen Feng shouted, gathering all his Northern Darkness True Qi in his arms as he strained against the Orc Hero's immense strength. The two of them were locked in a stalemate.
"Boss fight!!!" Suddenly, someone on the wall shouted. Then a fireball fell from the sky and struck the Orc Hero in the back.
Then came fireballs, arrows, axes, daggers, and rocks.
The Reincarnators threw down anything they could use to attack from a distance.
"Damn it!!!!" Chen Feng saw a rain of attacks bearing down on them, engulfing both him and the Orc Hero, and immediately understood what the bastards were thinking.
In worlds above Simple Grade World, as long as you didn't directly kill another Reincarnator, the Reincarnation Sacred Hall wouldn't punish you for attacking them. Only in Simple Grade World were Reincarnators completely forbidden from attacking one another.
The Reincarnators had clearly decided that he was that Korean bastard and were trying to cripple him along with the Orc Hero.
If someone landed a Fatal Blow on Chen Feng, then he'd just have to accept his bad luck and die alongside the Orc Hero. After all, everyone here hated that Korean bastard.
"What are they shouting? 'Kill the baozi'?" The Baqi officer on the wall had also been watching Chen Feng. Hearing the shout, he turned to the soldier beside him and asked in confusion.
"I couldn't make it out either. Maybe it's their nickname for the orcs," the soldier beside him replied.
"This is nonsense. Their attacks won't do much damage to the hero, and they'll only end up hurting their own side." The Baqi officer frowned, pointed skyward, and summoned a bolt of lightning. It fell from above and struck the Orc Hero before the other attacks could reach him.
The Orc Hero, who had been completely unconcerned about what was behind him, was struck by the Lightning Technique. His body stiffened despite himself.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Feng heaved, knocking the axe aside. He spun around and pushed Lingbo Weibu to its limit, darting into the Orc Army.
Once Chen Feng was out of the way, the attacks that came one after another swallowed the Orc Hero. When the smoke finally cleared, the only damage it had sustained was an arrow lodged in the side of its neck.
