Chapter 335 Chapter 335
Since the horde under the lead of Var\'bukk withdrew from the actual fight, the two tribes that were supposed to hold off the pinkskin\'s advance receive devastating casualties that reduced the two tribes to be only medium size tribes.
"Why didn\'t we give them a hand?" was the common question that was thrown to Var\'bukk which he answered with a simple answer, \'They are on their own. They had the chance of working with us to consolidate their tribe\'s prowess but their chieftain\'s wasted the chance because they thought that they could do it by themselves.\'
The advance of the pinksins was unstoppable, tribe after tribe of the orcish kind fell unto their hands and with the help of the long ears that provided them with the much needed help, and they trampled over even the strongest tribes.
Hard-pressed and without a real leader to unite them, one after the other, orcish tribes fell after the control of the pinkish and long ear\'s offensive. The north of the orcish lands was slowly falling unto the hands of the pinkskins with the help of the long ears who were responsible in holding off the shamans of the orcs.
War was never shied upon by the orcs but such a war was never unto their liking. Slowly the orcs lose their ground against the advance of the pinksins with only the horde under the lead of Var\'bukk holding them off from total domination.
*****
"Where are the long ears?" a question was thrown to the trusted commander of the pinksins after their triumphant victory over their foes that had nothing to do but withdrew from the battle because of their advantage. The innate physical advantage of the orcs when it comes to physical confrontations was rendered useless by the pinksins as they made use of their formations to take out their enemies who were too hungry or too dumb to realize the situation that they were no match against a formation of soldiers working together to take them out.
The elvish village that provided aid for the pinkskin\'s offensive was not having the best of their time as their human allies finally revealed their fangs upon them. The human army that was sent upon the orcish lands was far from the army that was sent to besiege their home along the forest which is why they were forced back to repel the invading forces that were after their village.
"Ungrateful bastards! We have provided them with everything that they needed to take the barbaric orcs but here they are aiming for our village." The captain of the elvish guards said with annoyance as he released his arrows upon the human army that was aiming to take out their village.
Among the trees of the forest, the elves were doing their best to deny the pinksins access to the central part of the forest. Although they were outnumbered, with the help of nature, the elves were able to hold their ground against their former allies who suddenly turned their back against them.
A three way war was occurring upon the north with the pinksins dealing against the orcs and the long ears that were hiding among the trees of the forest.

Galum\'nor who was in charge of Yohan because of the absence of their chieftain had his hands filled with the daily arrival of orcish warriors coming from the north because of the turmoil that was happening. Lucky was he because with the help of the Taurens, the order within the city was still in effect.
Every single day, the huge orc prayed for the return of their chieftain in order for him to be freed from all the responsibilities that were delegated unto him. Rakh\'ash\'tha himself didn\'t entangle himself with the order and process of the horde which resulted in him being free and able to do whatever he wanted unlike the muscled head Galum\'nor who held the fort for their chieftain who was in the south and waging a war for their ally.
Adhalia who was supposed to be having a good time after deploying her army was swamped with tasks pertaining towards the activity of the Eye in the Shadows which threw the entire kingdom of Ereia into chaos because of their sudden emergence from hiding. Daily, would she receive a mission that includes nobles of the kingdom and her attention upon the said mission is highly requested because of its nature.
Although she is far from the real battlefield, the effects of the battle were still felt by her. If her allies, the orcish horde under the lead of Khao\'khen loses against their foes, it would spell the end of her run for the control of the kingdom which is why she was spending every single free moment of hers to deal with the problems that was related to the advance of her allies against the current ruler of the kingdom.

"The reinforcements sent by the duke had finally arrived. All the requested supplies had arrived on time and the caretakers of our heavy cavalry is asking when will they participate?" Naberes shifted his gaze towards the old general who had spent the last few days studying the map of the kingdom and their current surroundings the past few days.
He understood that their commander might be sulking because of the defeat that they have tasted from their enemies but that doesn\'t entail that they should give up from seizing the upper hand from their foes that now had the advantage against them due to the previous clash.
"Arrange for the infantry to be able to deal with the enemy. The survivors of the previous encounters should be able to teach them a one or two about how to deal with our foes. Prepare the heavy cavalry since they would be instrumental in dealing a heavy blow against our foes." These were the words that the adjutant of General Trakaros towards his adjutants who were doing their best to hold the army together despite the disastrous defeat that they have suffered.
To the side of the Drakhars, the Ereians were celebrating their victory against their more numerous foes despite them acting alone upon the battlefield without the need of their stronger allies who could have turned the tide of battle in their favour with just their emergence upon the battlefield.
The army under the lead of General Trakaros received their reinforcements but the army under the banner of the Darkhariss family wasn\'t faze by them since they were allied with powerful foes that were yet to be revealed upon the battlefield.
An orcish warrior\'s prowess upon the battlefield was well known and well received by anyone and the Drakhars knew it which is why the reinforcement of their foes never bothered them. If push comes to shove, their allied orcish friends would be able to bail them out. Some of them had already witnessed their prowess in battle and no one could deny their ability to tilt the tide of battle unto their favour.
The entire island was shrouded in the mist of war, the north the south and the east was all shrouded in the turbulent effects of war. Humans against humans, humans against elves, humans against orcs and humans against the unknown. War was everywhere along the island which was long forgotten by the world because of the previous devastations that it had experience.

Far into the sea, a lady of beauty and strength roamed with her home in tow as she toured the tempestuous waters of the world. No kingdom or empire dared to annoy her since the numerous kingdoms and empires that he had sent to the bottom of the sea were hard witnesses to what she could do.
"We are approaching the area where the Lost Continent is at." The navigator of the Sea Empress reported as her gaze never faltered from what she was looking at.
"Which kingdom or empire rules it currently?" the emotionless voice of the Sea Empress came after losing interest upon the land that was in front of them.
She had prowled the seas and oceans of the world and none dared to question her ruling upon the bodies of water of the world. Any who dared have been sent by her towards the depths of the sea, no kingdom and no individual that dare to question her ruling lived to tell the tale.
Even the ruling empires and kingdoms of the current world must respect her words and her ruling over the bodies of waters in their world unless they want to risk their territories being drowned by the Sea Empress. Among the most powerful creatures of Azgalor, the Sea Empress is by far the easiest person to deal with unlike her fellows who would devastate kingdoms and empires at their whims without any good reason at all.
The ruler of seas and oceans of Azgalor is by far the most sought out ally of any superpower that dared to rule lands of the world but no one has ever reached any equal agreement with the Sea Empress as she remained free without any responsibilities as she roamed the vast expanse of the world. No one was ever able to tie her down and she remained neutral from all the troubles of the nobles and the rulers of the world.
There were any others who were like the Sea Empress but unlike her, most of them were not easy to deal with. They were the absolutes of the world and they won\'t take anything less than what they deserved which equates to absolute dominance. No one or nobody would question the power of someone who can destroy you in the blink of an eye.
