Chapter 241: Wave Away the Enemy
Zhao Hai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, “Thank you, my orc friend, but there's no need. We can handle it ourselves.” After saying this, Zhao Hai turned to look at the jackal tribe members rushing towards them.
The jackal tribe members were armed and showed no signs of slowing down, clearly intent on killing them on the spot.
Zhao Hai snorted coldly and waved his Evil Spirit Staff. More than a hundred undead beings appeared outside their formation. These undead beings were not humanoid but rather magical beast-shaped, and they were all skeletons, not zombies.
Zhao Hai did this to avoid hiding their identities. When they walked on the Orc Prairie in the future, they would certainly attract the attention of merchants, who would investigate their identities. By revealing himself as a dark mage, Zhao Hai intended to let those people know that he had arrived on the Orc Prairie.
These undead beings had arrived in Zhao Hai's space yesterday, specifically for dealing with situations like this. Generally, if a dark mage did not use humanoid undead beings, they would not be too disliked, especially on the Orc Prairie, where strength spoke the loudest. Even if you formed an undead army with humans, the orcs wouldn't feel too disgusted, as long as your strength was strong enough, they wouldn't provoke you.
Zhao Hai currently had a thousand beast-shaped undead beings stored in his space. In this situation, a hundred would be sufficient, so he did not release them all.
However, even this was enough to astonish the jackal tribe members. The beast-shaped undead beings that Zhao Hai released were all quite massive. In front of these giants, the jackal tribe members looked like children standing before a giant.
These undead beings had a strength level of seven, which was inherently stronger than those of the jackal tribe members. Coupled with the size difference, these hundred undead beings managed to surround the two hundred jackal tribe members. Before the other jackal tribe members could react, those undead beings charged in and wiped out the two hundred right there.
Although on the Orc Prairie, if humans killed orcs, they would be chased down, the situation was different when humans were in a defensive stance; the orc tribe would not interfere.
When Zhao Hai released those undead beings, the young leader of the Herculean Bull Tribe realized that Zhao Hai could deal with the jackal tribe members. However, he never expected that they would be resolved so quickly.
As a prince of the Herculean Bull Tribe, he understood mages much better than an average orc. However, he had never seen a mage in action, as in the Orc Prairie, human mages could not act freely.
Seeing that Zhao Hai had eliminated the jackal tribe members, he turned to the young man from the Herculean Bull Tribe and said, “Dear orc brother, let’s join forces to eliminate the enemy and have a good drink afterwards, how about it?”
Zhao Hai had a good impression of the Herculean Bull Tribe member. He appreciated that the other party was willing to help when they were in danger.
The Herculean Bull Tribe member was taken aback when he heard Zhao Hai say this. After a moment of thought, he realized what Zhao Hai meant: he wanted to help but was afraid of hurting his pride, so he suggested they work together to deal with the jackal tribe members.
Although he understood Zhao Hai's good intentions, the pride of the orc tribe did not allow him to accept help like that. He loudly declared, “My human brother, Wells from the Herculean Bull Tribe, please help us drive away those hateful earth dogs!”
Zhao Hai was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. He liked Wells; Wells was very straightforward. He was just worried that Wells wouldn’t let him help, which was why he suggested they work together, but he hadn’t expected Wells to be so proud and straightforward in asking for his help.
Naturally, their conversation was overheard by the jackal tribe members, causing them some panic. They had already witnessed the combat effectiveness of the undead beings Zhao Hai had released and frankly, they had no confidence in confronting them. If you added the three hundred warriors from the Herculean Bull Tribe, they feared they would fare poorly.
