Gatekeeper of all realms.

Chapter 141 Before the War (Third update, please give me a monthly ticket!)
The void moved.

Four orcs appeared at the four corners of the room.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Shen Ye couldn't help but ask.

The four orcs made magic seals at the same time, and the leader replied:

"The Great Chief is eager to recruit talented people. A talented singer like you should work for the orcs!"

"Wait a minute——" Shen Ye shouted.

Layers of light emerged from all around, converging into a line of rune seals, and hit Shen Ye with a "swish".

"It's the chief's artifact! It's too late!" the big skeleton said quickly.

The words have not yet fallen.

Swah——

Shen Ye was pulled by a huge force, smashed through the wall and rushed high into the sky.

He flew in one direction at an extremely fast speed.

"We've succeeded, hurry! Get out of the city!"

"go!"

Several orcs shouted loudly.

the other side.

It's still a nightmare world.

The junction of grassland and desert.

A majestic city.

A black shadow appeared in the sky.

Shen Ye!
That force pulled him across the vast land like wind and lightning, and dragged him here in one fell swoop.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

He fell down, slowed down, and appeared on the wall of this majestic city, standing in the center of the large observation deck.

"Welcome." someone said.

Shen Ye was blown into a chicken coop by the cold wind high in the sky. With ice debris all over his body, he first observed the scene around him.

outside the city.

Various trebuchets, siege towers, and ramming vehicles are placed directly on the ground.

The densely packed chariots were arranged neatly.

In the mine further away, orc laborers were pushing heavy mine carts one after another, shouting slogans.

The sound of blacksmithing is constant.

Fire shot into the sky.

On the playground in the city, the orc soldiers were practicing assassination in battle formations, roaring from their mouths.

Military discipline is strict.

"How's my army?"

A voice sounded.

Shen Ye looked back and saw an orc wearing armor sitting on the throne behind the observation deck.

The magicians, generals, and cavalry commanders of the orcs all surrounded him.

"This is the chief of the orcs. Be careful. Among the four tribes, he has a reputation for brutality." The big skeleton warned.

"Quite powerful, Chief." Shen Ye said.

"My army is well-disciplined, powerful, and well-equipped, enough to fight against the gods of ancient times!" The chief's tone was full of pride.

"How does it feel to be invited by me?" he asked again.

"——The speed was really too fast. It flew over in just a few seconds. It was a bit cold." Shen Ye told the truth.

The armor-clad chief wore a black iron mask. He could not tell the emotions, and his tone was extremely calm:

"I have seen that performance in the Dharma Realm."

"Baxter, you are indeed very talented. You should serve our great orcs instead of continuing to waste your time in the hands of the undead."

His tone was more mocking:
"You undead don't even have a monarch. You are a pile of loose sand. How can you still stand on the earth and be called a country?"

"Those skeletons should all be my slaves—"

"Their destination is 007."

007.

From midnight to midnight, seven days a week, we work non-stop.

Shen Ye fell into silence and suddenly laughed again.

This orc chief actually performed 996, and his ideal is 007——

Was it a capitalist from Blue Star in its previous life?
"Master Chief, I have no intention of offending you, but why did you think of changing the orcs starting from 996?"

Shen Ye asked.

"This is a war of words between humans and the undead. They both accused each other of implementing 996, so I was a little curious and conducted a detailed investigation."

The orc chieftain went on to say: "After further research, I found that 996 is a really good idea."

"Anyway, the lower-level soldiers of our orc tribe are nothing. It doesn't matter how many of them die. But using them 996 times can change the combat effectiveness of our entire tribe!"

"I wonder who came up with this brilliant idea—"

"To be honest, I really want to thank him!"

Shen Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Sweaty.

——After I released the news of 996, other races were busy blaming each other, but the orcs learned it as true?
Can you blame me?
No way!
"Baxter, look," the Big Chief said.

Shen Ye looked in the direction he pointed and saw several undead tied up on the playground, chopped into pieces by the heavily armed orcs.

Orc soldiers...

The weapons and armor all over him were gleaming.

Regardless of their strength, just this piece of equipment is no small matter.

——Made in the 996 way.

"Did you see that? My soldiers are brave and fearless, and their armor and weapons are all top-notch. Once on the battlefield, no race on the continent can stand up to me."

"So you should be thankful—"

"You have already stood on the side of the winner in advance."

"—Go on, Baxter, you report to the troupe and start working for me right away."

"Work hard, I won't treat you unfairly!"

The chief ended the conversation.

Two soldiers came up and wanted to take Shen Ye down.

Shen Ye followed them obediently away from the high platform, turned down the stairs, and arrived at a huge underground prison.

A set of prepared clothes appeared in front of Shen Ye.

“I’m going to wear this?”

Shen Ye asked, crossing his arms.

I was planning on having a fight, but this outfit is a bit...

It makes people unable to take action.

"Can you take a look?" someone asked.

"To be honest, its style is a bit inferior, but I don't mind it too much." Shen Ye commented seriously. A golden mask.

A shoulder-length wig studded with diamonds.

Leather armor covered with gold.

A pair of tall boots studded with colorful gems.

There is also a short staff made entirely of gold.

——Can't refuse.

Shen Ye allowed several orcs to help him put on the clothes neatly.

"This was the clothes of the high priest in the past. Now it's yours." said an orc.

"The chief is wise." Shen Ye said.

The curtain in the other room opened.

An orc walked in, pulled out the long iron rod stuck in the flames, and displayed it in front of Shen Ye.

The front part of the iron rod is a special symbol that burns red.

The iron rod was pointed at Shen Ye's face.

"Don't move, you will soon become the chief's slave." said the orc on the side.

"The chief is really confused." Shen Ye sighed.

He suddenly slapped the iron rod away and rushed back with all his might.

"You can't run away," several slaves nearby shouted, "Stop struggling and save yourself from physical pain."

Shen Ye turned a deaf ear and stepped through the prison gate.

——He disappeared!
main world.

A door opens.

Shen Ye fell down.

The big skeleton breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was a close call. You almost got caught - this was an invitation from the chief!"

As Shen Ye took off his clothes, he asked in surprise, "The chief's invitation?"

The big skeleton explained: "This is the artifact of the current orc chief. As long as you use it to cast a spell and pass it to your subordinates, they can send out the invitation on behalf of the chief."

"No matter where you are, as long as you are invited, you will be rushed into the sky and dragged to the orcs' capital—"

"Thunder Fortress!"

As he spoke, lines of small spell characters flashed quickly in the air, then fell down and stuck to Shen Ye's ankles.

——Like shackles.

The glimmer of light gathered and formed words:

"An invitation from the Great Chief."

"Purple (one in a million)."

"Description: Once you are hit by this move, no matter where you are, you will fly at a high speed until you reach the Thunder Fortress!"

"For three days."

"——You have already been hit by this trick. It is better for you to stay in the main world until the effect of this trick disappears."

Shen Ye moved around for a bit, but felt nothing.

"So this trick can't cross the world?" he asked.

"Nonsense! Even gods can't cast spells across worlds!" said the big skeleton.

"It's really strange... I'm just a singer. Why is it worthy of arresting me like this, and in the capital of the Undead Empire?" Shen Ye said curiously.

"Orcs rely on shamans for many things. If they really abandon the shamans, the entire society will inevitably be in chaos." The big skeleton said in a deep voice.

"So they took the chief's invitation and captured people everywhere?" Shen Ye said hesitantly.

"Yes, I'm afraid they are arresting singers everywhere, hoping to maintain the normal functioning of society." said the big skeleton.

Shen Ye sighed.

It was more like a compulsory arrest than an invitation.

I also said that I should prepare early so that I can complete a highly rated entry tomorrow, thus allowing the door to advance again.

Unexpectedly, he ran into the ambitious orc chieftain.

If we teleport over there again, wouldn't we be teleported directly to Thunder Fortress and have to fight those orcs?

It is obvious that they could start a war at any time.

You can't beat him.

But I don't want to be a slave.

And it's not about the money.

I don’t want to touch either 996 or 807 anymore.

Tsk.

It’s not easy!

At this time, the card vibrates continuously, displaying many messages.

Shen Ye had no choice but to take it out of his pocket.

On the card, a girl standing on a lone boat was looking at him.

Xiao Mengyu!
"Hello?" Shen Ye clicked to connect the call.

"Where have you been? I couldn't contact you for a long time." Xiao Mengyu looked at him and asked unhappily.

"Something happened - what's wrong?" Shen Ye asked.

"There is a grand welcome party tonight. How are your preparations going?" Xiao Mengyu asked.

"Preparation? Preparation for what?" Shen Ye was curious.

"Clothes...you're not planning to still wear that junior high school uniform..." Xiao Mengyu said speechlessly.

Shen Ye felt dazed.

Yes.

I spent too much time in the nightmare world today and even put on a song and dance routine.

It's getting late.

——I’m going to meet Song Qingyun at the welcome party tonight!
Song Yinchen might be there too.

The time has come when this matter must be resolved.

So--

Wear junior high school uniform?

Not so good.

After all, I am not a pure junior high school student.

Dress more stylishly?
I did buy some vampire clothes in the nightmare world.

Is this suitable to wear?

...Would it be unworthy of a disciple of the Hun Tian Sect to wear a vampire costume and cosplay in such an occasion?

It seems a bit.

What about the golden armor worn by the priest?
...Don't show off your wealth.

"I don't have any suitable clothes, I only have that school uniform to wear." Shen Ye told the truth.

"I've prepared a set for you. Would you like to try it?" Xiao Mengyu asked.
