My Waste Husband novel Chapter 1662

The shield in the air transformed into a wall, suddenly crashing down from the sky, blocking the path of the orcs on the other side.

Under the obstruction from the shield, the reinforcements of the orcs were severely affected. Only a few orcs that guarded the high grounds remained.

"It's the final wave, kill them all!"

The human army roared ferociously. All of them charged forward, completely slaughtering the hundreds of orc warriors that were still guarding the high grounds. When the last orc warrior had fallen, it all suddenly felt peaceful.

Some people looked on ahead, the swords in their hands still trembling uncontrollably from the rush of adrenaline. There were suddenly no more enemies left, at that seemed to have taken them by surprise.

"Whump!"

Someone exhaled a sigh of relief and sat down heavily onto the ground. He was exhausted beyond imagination.

Sylvia stood atop the high grounds, her spear had already been broken into two. The blood all over her body had already dried up and hardened. She turned her head and look down below, and saw that the path to the high grounds was completely paved with corpses. This were no shortcuts up this path.

They looked tiredly at the dead bodies that paved the path, no longer able to get back on their feet.

In truth, there was no absolute right or wrong between both parties. It was all just because they had different standpoints.

"Seems like we've won." Sieve looked at the high grounds that no longer had any orcs roaming around it.

"Yes, we are victorious." Gardiner walked past Sieve. He felt for his pockets, only to find an empty cigarette box.

"It hasn't been easy." Ranulfo supported a pale Ernest and Soul upright, the both of them had played a very important role in that battle, but the aftereffects they had to suffer were very strong, they had become so weak to the point where they were unable to stand steadily.

"Well, we have succeeded in guarding this place, no matter what the cost." The patriarch of the Solver Family, Prabhat Dongfang, arrived at the high grounds. He knelt and looked to the sky. "Immortal disciple, we have not failed you."

The patriarch of the Qin Family also walked over and knelt down.

"My brothers, we did it." Gardiner turned around and looked at the soldiers scattered all around. He inhaled deeply and exclaimed, "We won!"

Silence fell across the battlefield, but excited shouts began erupting after a few seconds.

"We won!"

"We did it!"

"We won! We really did it!"

This was the first true victory the humans had finally obtained through their countless battles with the orcs, it brought about a massive boost to their morale. Their victory was no ordinary feat.

Cheers filled the skies, smiles of victory were written across all of their faces. However, all of them also understood that this victory was only temporary, and would be greeted with the attacks from the orcs the moment the barrier before them had faded.

"Branley, how long can the shield last?"

"One day," replied Branley as he sat down cross-legged, his reply was short and simple. At that moment, every ounce of his energy was focused on controlling the ancestral weapon.

"Alright, one day is good enough for everyone to get some rest. Keep your spirits up, my brothers!" Gardiner waved his arm and said, "When this one day has ended, we shall show the orcs who's their daddy is in this ancient battlefield!"

It was not until late at night when Henry suddenly opened his eyes from his deep sleep. A figure was standing before Henry.

"It's you?" Henry looked at the person standing before him, it was Japheth, one of the Three-stars. He was holding something in his hand.

"Long time no see. You have become much stronger than before. Now I'm no match for you," Japheth said.

Henry shook his head and said, "I have never regarded you as an opponent. I don't think we have any conflicts of interest."

"I don't know about interests and all, I think the point of living is just to be happy. Or perhaps you just don't want to see the unfortunate happen, which is basically what you're doing right now, but who are you doing it for?" Japheth broke into a smile. "You just don't want to see the day those orcs step into the surface."

Henry sat up straight and said, "I believe you aren't here just to praise me."

"I saw you sleeping here, it's a cold night, so I brought you a quilt and some cold medicine."

Japheth put all the items in his hands on the ground.

"Cold night? Catch a cold?" Henry looked confused and sneezed just as he was about to say again.

"Achoo!"

That sneeze stunned Henry once more, did he really catch a cold? That had not happened for a long time! Henry had always been physically stronger than the ordinary. Viruses of this sort never affected him at all, let alone the person he had become, but it was a fact that it had happened to Henry.

"You've never actually drifted too far away from this world." Japheth said, "Look at you, you have come back after all. Justus was right about you after all. Although you were born with an extraordinary background, experience, and capabilities, you were still able to make a return in the end. This is Justus' final test for you."
