Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

”Is this everybody? ”

Fogan looked at his remaining troops, who had survived from all battlefronts. From 20,000 strong warrior orcs, only half of them were left.

The eastern battlefront against the Liu Clan was not going well. All troops that Fogan had sent to capture eastern cities were obliterated by Liu Bian ’s main forces.

Fortunately, the northern expedition troops had it easy after Qiang Sui left the area. They managed to eradicate three human cities, except for the Tian Long Forest. They got some loots at the cost of several thousand 5th-stage orcs.

As for the southern campaign, things didn ’t look good. Fogan had confirmed that Kzarka had been killed by an unknown orc, who looked like one of the Wood Orcs.

Fogan hated it. The wood orcs always acted as if they were righteous, having sexual integrity, being gentlemen, and keeping their honor. Yet, they still ravaged women and plundered human cities as the other tribes did.

From Fogan ’s perspective, wood orcs were hypocrites, and they deserved to be excommunicated.

But for now, the matter about wood orcs didn ’t matter as he had received a new order from the emperor.

”This is everyone, warchief, ” Fogan ’s subordinate finished reporting their army ’s status.

Fogan waved his arm and bellowed, ”The emperor has given me a decree. We are to focus on our base defense and complete the portal as soon as possible! All available combat units will fortify the fortress, and the workers will abandon other tasks other than completing the portal construction and provision! ”

The orcs saluted and rushed to their posts, relaying Fogan ’s orders.

Fogan gazed at his subordinates for a moment before he looked toward the south, where Siren City was located. His face grimaced.

’Is the Heretic King in the prophecy a wood orc? Should I jump ship right now and join the Heretic King ’s army or should I kill him and get rid of the source of calamity for good? ’

An orc shaman back home had warned Fogan about the Heretic King and entrusted him with a piece of ancient mural, which held the secrets of an unknown art.

In an ancient mural, which Fogan had been protecting and keeping with him, unknown beings had left their legacies about their cultivation techniques, but they were incomplete. The other parts of murals were in the Zhang Clan and the Liu Clan ’s hands, and the two clans had been hiding them somewhere in the Holy Land.

The mural piece that Fogan had contained detail of a strange technique, which could slow the time for a moment. However, it also contained a prophecy of a calamity, started by the Heretic King.

At first, the piece of mural didn ’t contain anything other than the impractical technique. But last year, weird series of a story, aka the prophecy, had mysteriously appeared out of nowhere. The Blood Orc ’s head shaman was the one who had noticed it first, and he had informed Fogan about it.
