On the other side, in Gemini City, nearly a hundred Monarch level undead stood atop the wall, led by Arthas and the other six race kings.Inside the city, all the buildings were unmanned except for the shield.

Outside the wall were the four races Alex had conquered, totaling nearly 10,000, with an additional 100,000 undead army stationed outside, providing these races with a great sense of security.

In the city square, another 100,000 undead army, all air units, were quietly stationed on the ground, ready to take to the skies and tear apart any incoming enemies.

Above the sky, six massive Silverscale Leviathans hovered silently.

As for the orcs who had submitted and were stationed around Gemini City, Arthas had already ordered their retreat. Unless the entire orc race submitted, they were of no use. For the undead, there was never a shortage of low-level troops.

Sending them to die was less beneficial than keeping them as potential experience points after the Orc Empire's submission.

Maximizing benefits was key.

Whether a hundred Monarch level undead of varying strengths could defeat a low-level King would be determined by this battle.

Arthas stood silently on the wall, holding Frostmourne. The other race kings had also received Alex's orders: this battle must not be a mindless charge.

If the Orc King's strength proved too terrifying, the undead's task was to spread out and kill as many other orcs as possible to gain experience points.

If the Orc King's performance was average, then the priority was to kill the Orc King. After all, killing the Orc King would mean Alex would gain her first King level undead.

With a King level addition, the outcome of this battle would no longer be in doubt.

As for how to judge, with Alex not present, it was up to the seven race kings to decide.

...

At this moment in Bloodrock city, the leaders of various camps had gathered their elite warriors and were heading towards the city.

In the square, over 200,000 orc troops from more than twenty camps had gathered, wearing different animal skins and bone ornaments to distinguish the warriors from each camp.

These orcs surrounded the central square, with the Chieftains of each camp standing at the forefront of their respective camps.

In the center of the square, several orc priests were waving their staffs, performing a strange ritual and chanting bizarre incantations.

On either side were several large iron cages, holding various humanoid creatures, all tortured beyond recognition. Among them was even an elf.

They clung to the cage bars, struggling desperately to escape, their wails and curses mingling with the orc priests' incantations, creating a chaotic and noisy scene.

Clearly, these prisoners knew what was about to happen, and their faces were filled with fear, some even hugging each other and crying.

But no one paid them any mind. The surrounding orcs were excited at the prospect of going to war.

A few camp Chieftains who knew the inside story were initially worried, but their confidence soared upon learning that the Orc King would personally lead the charge.

As the first warrior of the Orc Empire, the Orc King had never faced an enemy he couldn't defeat.

Of course, except for the Holy Court.

At this moment, the Orc King sat on a high platform outside the square, coldly observing everything below. He said nothing, waiting for the orc priests to complete the ritual.

As the orc priests' eyes glowed green and their staffs swung towards the prisoners in the cages, the prisoners let out agonizing screams.

White energy began to pour from their mouths, eyes, and even ears, converging on the pre-arranged magic circle on the ground.

They aged rapidly, turning into skeletal corpses in an instant, collapsing to the ground.

Buzz!

A massive rectangular portal appeared on the ground, pulsating with green energy, revealing the scene on the other side.

It was Gemini City, filled with undead, ready for battle!

Seeing this, countless orcs raised their weapons in excitement.

After sacrificing hundreds of lives, the orc priests had constructed this enormous portal.

The Orc King stood up, weapon in hand, and took a few steps forward, looking down at the orc army.

"For the glory of the orcs, destroy the enemy!"

The Orc King raised his battle axe and shouted to the orc army below.

"Orcs never retreat!"

The orcs below, faces full of excitement, raised their weapons and shouted.

"WAAAGH!"

"Charge, kill the invaders!"

With the Orc King's command, countless orc warriors swarmed towards the portal, disappearing one by one as green ripples appeared.

...

Outside Gemini City, a massive green portal appeared out of thin air, and countless orcs poured out.

They raised their weapons, charging towards the enemies standing at the edge of the moat, beneath Gemini City.

"Attack!"

Arthas immediately ordered from the wall, and the undead and subjugated races below charged at the orcs.

Meanwhile, at Twinface Mountain, Death Spirit suddenly possessed a lich and spoke to the Xiao siblings.

"Gemini City is under attack by a King level enemy. Queen urgently needs experience points to level up to King level. Therefore, when facing the Longtail Apes, prioritize killing them and refuse their submission."

Xiao Mu was momentarily stunned. Alex hadn't mentioned this to them, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. If Alex didn't level up to King level, even with over a hundred Monarch levels, they might not be a match for the enemy's King level.

"Shouldn't we go back to support? That's a King level enemy!"

Xiao Hui was very worried. She was only a level 4 Monarch and couldn't even fathom the power of a King level.

"No need. Killing the Longtail Apes here is also helping her. Alex can still share our experience points."

Xiao Mu quickly calmed down. The King level enemy was attacking Gemini City, not Undead City. The worst-case scenario was losing the battle and Gemini City being destroyed.

The King level in Arsen couldn't threaten Alex's safety in Eldoria.

Of course, none of them wanted to see Gemini City destroyed.

"Let's act quickly. Summon the Monarch level corpses with Death Spirit, then return from the undead fortress to support Gemini City."

Xiao Hui felt the pressure and became unusually serious.

"Got it!"

The siblings immediately led the undead forces into action. The Longtail Apes were a small race with only a few thousand members, and their Monarch levels could easily be counted on one hand.

Facing the determined siblings and twenty Monarch level undead, the Longtail Apes stood no chance.
