Doomsday Code

Chapter 889 The Northern Wall Army

The Wall of the North is a high wall that has stood for thousands of years without decaying, and it is also a place that all orcs north of the North hate.

Because in the Arctic wilderness beyond the Great Wall, no matter how far away you are, as long as you look south, you will see this towering, insurmountable wall standing in your sight.

The Northern Wall Army, the garrison of this defensive line, is no longer the formidable force it once was.

Ye Rong, deputy commander of the Northern Great Wall Army, assumes the duties of a legion commander when the Northern Great Wall Army Commander, King Pingbei, is absent.

He is now over three hundred years old.

Of course, three hundred years old is only a small part of a demigod's life for a powerful being.

However, by this time he was already all white-haired.

The divine armor bestowed upon him by His Majesty the Emperor when he went to war was already damaged in many places, and these damaged places all testified to his achievements.

Standing atop the Great Wall, the wind and snow of the far north blew against the face of this veteran general of the empire, etching the marks of time upon his features.

"General, the military supplies are running low again this month."

A half-orc logistics soldier with a tiger's head came to Ye Rong with a list of inventoryed supplies and reported.

Tiger Three, an ordinary half-orc.

During the empire's heyday, it was impossible for an ordinary orc soldier to be among the elite Northern Wall Army.

However, nowadays, one-third of the soldiers in the Great Wall Army are these orcs who were recruited from the far north ice plains.

“General, we can’t go on like this. Let’s go and tell them that we can forgo our own rations, but they can’t withhold the rations for our other human brothers.”

Tiger Three looked at the old general whose back was still upright and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Tiger Three, how many years have you been guarding this place?"

Ye Rong looked at the wind and snow in front of him and asked.

"General, it has been eighty-four years and three months."

"When a great calamity struck, almost my entire tribe perished. If it weren't for your rescue, General, I wouldn't be alive today."

Tiger Three answered honestly.

Ye Rong stretched out his rough, weathered hands, and, drawing upon the icy crystals brought by the wind and snow, said:

"It's been eighty-four years, and there are many that have been longer than you. I remember the longest Rabbit Sister is already one hundred and eighty years old."

“Do you know that inland you are called stupid beasts by them, but it is you beasts who have guarded this Great Wall that protects their peaceful and prosperous life.”

There was no anger in Ye Rong's tone, only a calm acceptance of the facts.

Perhaps it's because he's been angry for two hundred years and no longer knows how to be angry.

"General."

Tiger Three's voice choked with emotion at this point.

At this moment, Ye Rong turned around.

The wind and snow ruffled his long white beard, and time had left its mark on his face, but his eyes remained sharp and resolute.

"Let's go, take me to see who embezzled the military pay. According to the law, this is punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family."

Although Ye Rong spoke calmly, a chilling murderous intent lurked behind his calm words.

Upon arriving at the teleportation point at the Great Wall's battlements, Ye Rong and Hu San vanished from the Great Wall in the next instant.

At the foot of the Great Wall, due to the unique way the Great Wall operates, this area has become a warm and suitable place for farming and settlement.

The Northern Wall Army of that time consisted not only of male soldiers but also female soldiers. Naturally, over the past century, a farming and warfare system similar to that of ancient China has developed around the foot of the Great Wall.

This is one of the important reasons why the Great Wall Army has maintained its combat effectiveness nearly two hundred years later without the replenishment of external troops.

However, this method only provided the Great Wall Army with a brief respite, so in order for the Great Wall Army to continue, they recruited orcs into the army.

Ye Rong arrived at the foot of the Great Wall. From here, the Great Wall looked like a wall about 100 meters high, which was not even as high as the walls of some large cities in powerful kingdoms.

However, only those who truly want to climb the Great Wall will understand just how high the actual Great Wall is.

Today is the day for the delivery of military supplies negotiated between the Great Wall Army and several kingdoms, so the area at the foot of the Great Wall is unusually busy.

However, at the foot of the Great Wall, there were two distinct groups of people standing in opposition to each other.

Although one side's armor was tattered, their fighting spirit was incredibly high. When they looked at someone, they would subconsciously focus their gaze on the vital parts of the body.

It gave the feeling that he would pounce on you at any moment and strike your vitals.

On the other side, the armor was gleaming, and the engraved magic patterns shone with a flowing radiance under the sunlight.

However, although they did not flinch when they saw the fierce eyes of the other side, their fear was evident in their eyes as they dared not meet his gaze.

Ye Rong walked step by step through the muddy ground, where grains mixed with mud were scattered.

"General."

When the Great Wall Army saw Ye Rong arrive, they all saluted and shouted.

Ye Rong then went to the very center of the two sides, and picked up a handful of millet mixed with mud and sand from the ground, saying:

Who scattered the grain?

These were just four words from an ordinary person, and the highest-ranking officials in charge of the military supply handover among the major kingdoms instantly deflated like punctured balloons.

"General Ye, this was just a small amount of grain that was accidentally spilled during transport. I think we should let it go."

"The quartermaster of the Chamo Kingdom said with a smile."

However, the next moment, this epic-level peak general was instantly blown away like a balloon, flying towards the distant snow-capped mountains.

With a loud bang, it was clear that the general of the Chamo Kingdom had been struck and embedded in the mountain wall beneath the snow.

The people of the several kingdoms were instantly horrified.

Because they didn't see how the person was sent flying at all; there was no energy fluctuation at all, and they didn't even feel the air disturbance when the attack happened.

It was as if that person had flown away on their own.

Ye Rong glanced at these people, and in that instant, they all took a step back.

"Since you've admitted it, then make up for all the money that was thrown away."

Ye Rong's domineering presence was once again reinforced in their minds, leaving them no choice but to nod in agreement, otherwise they doubted they could leave this place today.

"Swear it."

Ye Rong then said something indifferently.

Although he said it lightly, it actually revealed Ye Rong's helplessness.

Otherwise, during the imperial era, who would dare to provoke the Northern Wall Army like that? If it were any other time, Ye Rong would have already cleaved him in two with a single sword strike.

But now they can only injure without killing, and they have to make them swear a solemn oath to guarantee this.

This is undoubtedly a tragedy for Ye Rong and all the Great Wall Army.
