After a roar, the Twin-headed Ogre charged over leading his men. His heavy, powerful footsteps, bloodthirsty red eyes, and his giant club that was covered in blood... The hands of all who saw this became clammy. Even the barbarians led by Argus began to pant nervously, much less the cowardly Gnomes.

A twin-headed Ogre?

Yang Ling had a thought as he watched the Twin-headed Ogre approach them menacingly. To some extent, Ogres were a human-shaped Magical Beast. The mysterious Wizard Technique could tame powerful Magical Beasts, so perhaps it could also tame dull-witted races like the Ogres.

Originally, Yang Ling had been worried about how he was going to control all of the Ogres after he had captured them alive. Now it seemed that all his problems would be solved if he managed to tame the Twin-headed Ogre with his blood. It would be as simple and effective as taming the Tarantula King. Taming a king would mean that he would have indirectly obtained an army.

“Sir, order the Evil Eye army to attack, otherwise it will be too late!” Seeing the terrifying Twin-headed Ogre approaching them with his massive Ogre army behind him, Argus swallowed with difficulty, becoming more and more nervous.

There were many legends in Wissen Town, many of which involved the Ogres.

It was rumored that an Ogre would grow two heads on the left and right after receiving the blessings of the Beast God. Their power and speed would increase tenfold, they would gain access to mysterious abilities, and their battle abilities would become immense.

It was also rumored that an Ogre would only grow two heads when they were cursed by the Demon God of Hell. Anybody who got near to a monster like this would also receive the curse of the Demon God of Hell, and their life would become worse than death.

There were still more rumors that claimed that whenever an Ogre tribe had existed for a few thousand years, the undead souls of the Ogres would plant themselves into the body of an Ogre in order to defend the tribe. They would not only grow two heads, they would also have two hearts. They would be able to revive indefinitely unless one could cut off both their heads at the same time, or pierce both their hearts. They were incredibly terrifying.

Argus’s pupils dilated when he thought back to the stories he had heard since he was little, then looked at the ferocious Twin-headed Ogre approaching them. It already took so much effort to capture an average Ogre alive; it was unimaginable that one could capture such a terrifying Twin-headed Ogre alive.

“Argus, compose yourself! Your mission is to protect the elf archers and Evil Eyes behind you. You must not leave the formation by your own accord!” Yang Ling said as he took out a large bunch of Wizard Amulets from his ring. He had decided to take another gamble.

Thirty-five steps, thirty-four steps, thirty-three steps...

The Twin-headed Ogre was fast, arriving before the group in the blink of an eye. What was even more shocking was how it released a blood red ring of light after letting out a loud roar.

Wherever the ring of light passed, helpless Ogres who had been inflicted by the poison stingers received a boost of energy, standing up with a roar, as if they had recovered all of the energy they had expended in an instant.

“The Bloodthirsty Manic Ring of Light?” Seeing the blood red ring of light surrounding the Twin-headed Ogre, the Gnome Elder lost his color in shock. “Sir, you have to eliminate the Twin-headed Ogre leading them. Otherwise, all of the Ogres will become frenzied monsters! Quick!”

According to the historical records, the Bloodthirsty Manic Ring of Light was a high level group magic that the Beastmen performed. It could instantly boost the speed and power of a person, sometimes up to ten times that of the original. It was why the violent Beastmen were so formidable.

An ordinary Ogre could already split tigers with his bare hands, so the Gnome Elder could not imagine how much their battle abilities would have improved after their speed and strength had been boosted several times.

Just as the Gnomes were shivering, their souls almost leaving their bodies, the Evil Eye army acted once again under the instructions of the Evil Eye Tyrant. In that instant, bolts of blinding light gathered, releasing a strong, hot glow like a miniature sun.

The Evil Eyes had acted quickly, but unfortunately, under the command of the Twin-headed Ogre, the Ogres who had once been blindsided by this attack reacted quickly too! After the strong light scattered, save for a few Ogres who were rubbing their eyes and standing in their original position, a large portion of the Ogres were unharmed and charging toward Yang Ling under the command of the Twin-headed Ogre.

The attack failed?

Seeing the fast reactions of the Twin-headed Ogre, looking at his violent gaze and his body full of explosive muscles, Yang Ling didn’t have any time to waste. He quickly changed his strategy and commanded his Magical Beast army to attack.

The ready Horned Bee Beasts and Gargoyles charged forward, fast as lightning, and launched a coordinated attack. The Horned Bee Beasts were responsible for surprise attacks and feints, while the Gargoyles took the role of dealing the fatal blow given their more powerful attacks. They would either tear the knees of the Ogres or pull out their intestines.

Faced with such an unexpected situation, Yang Ling had no choice but to change his strategy at the last minute. He ordered his Magical Beast army to launch fatal attacks. At the very most, he would try to replace a way to treat them in the future after injuring them.

Sacrificing one’s own forces to defeat the enemy was a taboo in the military. It would not be worth it if Yang Ling had to suffer heavy casualties just to clear out an aboriginal tribe.

Wherever the Twin-headed Ogre passed, the average Ogres also started to release blood red rings of light. Their eyes turned red, their muscular bodies standing tall. They roared as if they were bloodthirsty Magical Beasts. The wild beasts nearby fled in fear after hearing these frenzied roars.

Roar!

After killing a diving Gargoyle with the swing of a club, the Twin-headed Ogre let out a roar and commanded the Ogres to charge straight toward Yang Ling.

After the influence of the magic, their defensive capabilities had reached alarming levels, and they were able to move freely even after being hit by four or five of the Horned Bee Beasts’ poisonous stingers. The Gargoyles’ attacks also seemed to be scratching on metal. The attacks were ineffective unless they hit a vital spot.

Is this the power of the bloodthirsty frenzy?

Yang Ling’s pupils dilated when he saw the Ogres recover their strength in the blink of an eye, their speed and power enhanced. He instructed the Withered Tree Warriors beside him to move forward, not daring to hesitate.

Facing the advancing Ogre army, the Withered Tree Warriors didn’t hold back. They planted their sharp thorns deep into the muscles of the Ogres, then either flung the Ogres far away behind them or pushed the creatures to the ground before stepping on them.

The power of the Ogres had reached an alarming stage after being put into a frenzy, but they still paled in comparison to the ten-meter-tall Withered Tree Warriors.

The manic Ogre army was pushed back with the counterattack of the Withered Tree Warriors, as if a wave of steel had hit a thick metal plate, unable to advance.

Under the cover of the barbarians, the elf archers took steady aim, their arrows all driving into the vital points of the Ogres, frustrating their advance. But they were insignificant compared to the level eight Magical Beast that was the Unicorn.

With a deafening scream, the Unicorn quickly released thick bolts of purple lightning, forming an intricate electric web. Within the radius of the web, the Ogres had no way to escape. They let out pathetic cries as they shuddered from being shocked.

Roar!

Seeing the heavy casualties among his clansmen, the Twin-headed Ogre was furious, once again slipping into a frenzy. All the muscles on his body started to twitch. He seemed to have grown in an instant, clenching his teeth as he slammed his club into the right leg of the Withered Tree Warrior blocking his way. The impact broke the leg bone of the Withered Tree Warrior.

He broke the leg bone of a Withered Tree Warrior with his club?

Seeing the ferocious Twin-headed Ogre, the Gnomes hiding behind the army let out shrill shouts, their legs buckling. Argus and the barbarians beside him swallowed hard, their nerves almost causing their hearts to leap in their chests. Even Yang Ling was covered in sweat, not having expected the Ogre king to be this powerful.

While there’s life there’s hope!

Seeing the Twin-headed Ogre release his bestial instincts, Yang Ling understood that it would be too difficult to capture him alive. In order to minimize his losses, Yang Ling ordered the Magical Beast army to go all out while he clutched the Wizard Amulets in his hands tightly.

After successively toppling three Withered Tree Warriors, the ferocious Twin-headed Ogre crossed the Withered Tree Warriors’ line of defense and charged toward Yang Ling. But just as he was about to attack, he was sent flying back by a few Sky Blasting Cannon Wizard Amulets.

At the critical moment, Yang Ling had tossed out the Wizard Amulets in his hands as if they cost nothing. He threw the amulets successively, blasting the Twin-headed Ogre until he was covered in blood.

If Yang Ling’s Wizard Amulets could make the Twin-headed Ogre dizzy, then the Unicorn’s giant bolts of lightning could make his soul leave his body!

After a moment’s preparation, the Unicorn gave its best effort, releasing bolts of bucket-sized, snake-shaped lightning. The Twin-headed Ogre trembled as it was electrocuted, turning charred in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that even the Twin-headed Ogre was about to fall, the Ogre army slipped into chaos. The blood red rings of light around their bodies became dimmer, giving the Horned Bee Beasts and Gargoyles the opportunity to attack. Pathetic cries filled the area.

Under the combined aerial and ground assault of the Horned Bee Beasts, Withered Tree Warriors, Horned Bee Beasts, and Gargoyles, the Ogres who had lost their leader gradually lost the will to fight. But just as they were about to retreat into the cave and defend themselves, another surprise happened!

Under the command of the Tarantula King, the spider army emerged from the ground and split into two teams. One team was responsible for attacking the retreating Ogres while the other team charged quickly into the cave of the Ogres.

Blanketing poison, venomous fangs, and immense numbers...

The appearance of the spider army completely crumbled the Ogres’ will to fight. The old and injured that were guarding the caves were unable to defend against the tide-like attack of the spider army.
