The orc commander flashed a sullen smile when he noticed Xiao Lin's intentions. Instead of backing down, he yelled loudly, prompting the merfolk to tremble and scatter from all around him. He removed a large battle axe from the weapon rack beside him and dragged it toward Xiao Lin. Sparks were then produced from the friction rubbing against the ground.
The orc commander wanted a one-on-one duel!
Xiao Lin was pleasantly surprised since he was actually rather worried about how to deal with the merfolk surrounding him. Even though there were just weak little fry, their presence in large numbers would also be a headache.
Now that the path between the two had been completely cleared, the other orcs seemed to put a lot of confidence in their commander. Their attention was thus shifted to defense, because Xiao Lin had bought time for Cheng Ming to finally bring the others over the fortress wall.
