344 Chapter 344: Orc empire

Both the orc brawlers below and the orc chieftains above were rendered speechless.

The Orakh clan was always regarded as one of the major clans in the orc empire in the past and that was until Berivs appeared and took charge of the Arzu clan. The Orakh has always been considered the main force of the orcs army because of their super strength and mobility in battle, making them great warriors and powerful infantry units but after Berivs thought his clansmen how to manipulate their life energy and managed to create the undying army, the need for the Orakh clan soon diminished and they were pushed from the capital of the orc empire to the mid rim. This was one of the main reasons Mol never really liked Berivs since he was the reason for his clan's downfall, in fact, his clan would have fallen to the outer rim if it weren't for Mol's outstanding strength in battle. It wouldn't be false to say, he was the only reason the Orakh clan was still standing on its feet.

The orc civilization was led by power and only through strength could one gain recognition. They followed the laws of the jungle and there were almost no rules to keep the weak safe from the strong! The top three clans were allowed to reside in the capital or inner wall known as Yatur, while the next three clans chosen based on strength are placed at the Mid rim or mid-wall known as Bologra while the last three clans were placed at the outer wall Atulg. The ranking was purely based on the over the strength of the clan and this same system was used in the settlement built here. 

While Uram and Mol were clans from the mid rim, Berivs was the only chieftain from the inner rim. If Derik and Cyrus knew the invading orc army was split into different forces shared across the continents in this world they would definitely feel uneasy. Just like the powerless humans, not even up to half of the orc's true forces were here, yet they could rival the empire in strength and force them to hide behind their walls. Of course, Derik and Cyrus were unaware of this fact, and if they knew they probably wouldn't be joking with their opponents. They probably won't hesitate to destroy the entire orc settlement in one go!

"Mol just died… so easily…" Uram muttered as she retreated slowly, not minding the orcs watching.

Mol's clan may have been reduced to a second-rated clan in the orc empire but Mol's strength as a bonafide first rated clan chieftain was never reduced in any form! That was why the clan didn't fall to the outer rim! If Mol could be defeated so easily then what could she do? The only person who had a chance now against Derik and Cyrus was the overseer but he wasn't here.

"What are you doing Uram of Url'm" Berivs cold voice drew her attention away from Derik and Cyrus.

"When have the orcs ever retreated in history? Or do you want to be the first to shame our race and ancestors? This is a battle that must be settled with bloodshed and I, the chieftain of the great Arzu clan is no afraid of a bunch of humans! Cooperate with me and I assure you we will get rid of these human scums!" Berivs roared and dashed forward without waiting for Uram's response.

His words struck the right places and the orcs observing from below forgot their prior fears and cheered for Berivs. As much as Uram wanted to retreat she couldn't bring herself to do it, not when hundreds of thousands of orcs below were chanting their names and banging the war drums without care. At this point, her train of thoughts changed and she couldn't help but find Berivs words quite reasonable.

To take Mol's place as one of the top three clans in the orc empire, Berivs not only had his army defeat Mol's army in a full-scale war but he also defeated Mol in a one on one battle where he beat the orc into submission and had him admit defeat. But even then Berivs hadn't gone all out and even the overseer had claimed that Berivs had hidden more than thirty percent of his strength.

According to the overseer, Berivs was the only one amongst the orc chieftains to have taken half a step towards the demigod realm and his chances of reaching this godly realm were over a hundred percent if he is not killed before then.

Even Derik and Cyrus were slightly moved by Berivs war cry and without Cyrus speaking, Derik already knew Cyrus planned on taking on the two orc chieftains on his own so he simply stepped aside and watched from the sidelines, making Uram heave a sigh of relief.

Zoom!

Berivs was like a green beam of light as he smashed into Cyrus' open palm but still unable to move the life mage from the spot he was standing.

Woosh!

In response, Cyrus swung his hand lightly, releasing a small arc of golden aura but even before he could complete the attack Berivs had already gone around him, reappearing behind him.

"Ooooh? You can do that much?" Cyrus raised an eyebrow as he turned his head towards Berivs direction only to be stunned by what he saw.

At this point, all of Berivs armor was shattered and his bare body was visible to all, only the piece of cloth wrapped around his waist prevented his private parts to be seen but even then Derik and Cyrus found it hard to understand how a piece of cloth would remain intact when such massive amount of violent aura was oozing out of the orcs body!
