Chapter 621: Slaughtering the Sergeant Major

Li Hao laughed, then clapped his hands sharply. "Then let's do it that way. I'll treat you to a drink after the fight. Kuta is still drinking; wait for me to handle some things, and we'll go drink together."

The daily fixed time for the Saint Song Expedition is a time for all Anthem Warriors to experience the joys and sorrows of their merits. No matter which civilization or social stratum they come from, they cannot avoid facing it. Even for someone like Kuta, who has massive resources behind him, he still has to fight when it's time to fight. As his level rises, if his strength doesn't keep up, he will still get beaten up. This forces Kuta to maintain a certain level, if for no other reason than to get beaten less. The marvelous Spirit vibration technique Li Hao gave him—it must be said—really opened up a new world for Kuta. The key is that he understands it and can learn it, but Kuta is currently holding back his ultimate move, keeping a low profile until he masters it.

Just as Li Hao was about to leave, Kashika grabbed him. "You've been drinking. This matter is extremely serious. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Li Hao smiled. "I know, but this is the best method, and I am stronger than all the Orcs." He patted Kashika on the shoulder. "Don't worry."

Having spent so much, Li Hao didn't want it to be an insufficient fight. Watching Li Hao's back, Kashika shook his head helplessly. After a moment, he followed Li Hao's instructions and issued the first-ever Sacred Song Announcement. One million is really not a small amount; that is secondary, as it is merely a drop in the bucket for those Star Alliance giants. But the Saint Song is a special place, and such behavior is undoubtedly being watched by countless powerhouses; it is very, very dangerous.

At this moment, the Saint Song is at its liveliest. Ordinary Anthem Warriors, high-level Sergeants, and Sergeant Majors in the winner's zone are all gathered together. Some need to fight, while others have just come to observe out of habit, and by the way, to see if there are any new combat tactics.

Then, an eye-catching banner appeared on the main screens of all major Saint Songs, and at the same time, a challenge sat at the very top: I am the father of all Orc Sergeant Majors; come fight me if you aren't convinced!

The words "Sergeant Major" were added by Kashika at the last moment. He generally grasped Li Hao's line of thought; it could achieve the same effect, and at the same time, under certain circumstances, it could divert the Orcs' hatred. The degree of hierarchy varies among the civilizations of the Star Alliance, but if one were to rank the level of friction between classes, the Orcs would be second, and no one would dare to be first.

Challenge conditions: Orc Sergeant Major (all war zones), challenge duration: 2 hours.

Such an arrogant challenge is extremely rare in the Saint Song. Occasionally there are those who get carried away, but they only shout; targeting such a massive group like this hasn't been seen in decades.

Li Hao, this Human name spread throughout the Saint Song in an instant. Of course, after reading it, most high-level civilization warriors just laughed it off. They had heard of the messy business between Humans and Orcs, but they didn't pay much attention to it. This Li Hao clearly wanted to stand up for the Humans, but he hadn't considered his own ability. Even if he could beat one or two Orc Sergeant Majors, so what?

He probably didn't even understand the concept of the challenge time: 2 hours. As long as it is within this time frame, the Orcs can continuously challenge him. He must either fight or concede; there is no stopping. How could he possibly endure such exhaustion?

An all-war-zone announcement—it was impossible not to see it. Depuya, who had just walked into the Zhanzheng Center, was stunned. Seeing the Mechanical Race around him also casting sideways glances, in their way of thinking, this was an extremely stupid and suicidal act. Is this considered a Human counterattack against the Orcs?

Depuya immediately entered the group to notify all fighting and non-fighting Humans. This must be the Second Brother standing up for him; he knew he had always been the brother the Second Brother loved most.

Maxis, Chao Qinglong, Luo Bi, Aofei, Li Xiangshan, and others were already there. Every expedition is when they are most serious. They are suppressed in Saint Song Tasks, but in Saint Song Expeditions, it depends on one's own ability. For Humans, every battle and every merit is crucial. At the same time, they are also earnestly learning and understanding the characteristics and combat tactics of other civilizations; the Zhanzheng Center is the best place for this.

Seeing this scene, Maxis and the others didn't know what to say. Looking at the image of the high-spirited Depuya in the group, they felt more worry, but this couldn't be said out loud because they no longer understood where Li Hao stood.

During the S Tournament, they still felt there was a gap, but it hadn't reached the point of being uncatchable. By the time of the Kepler war, it felt like he was a Tyrant Body rank apart. However, by the Star Alliance era, they didn't know what to say anymore. Yet, they still felt a bit uneasy in their hearts; the Star Alliance is full of hidden talents, and the challenge conditions Li Hao set... were a bit too much.

Dita was also being frantically pinged by Solomon. "What are you doing? Rushing to be reincarnated? I'm in the middle of my beauty sleep."

"Sister Dita, stop sleeping. Second Brother has gone berserk; he wants to challenge all Orc Sergeant Majors..." Solomon was stunned. He had always believed that the Second Brother was very clear-headed and rational, and that his usual attitude was just a facade.

"What's so strange about his strength beating an Orc... What did you say?" Dita hurriedly scrambled up from her comfortable bed, her long, beautiful legs leaping down in a single motion, and she instantly opened the Star Swift.

All-war-zone push notification. Dita... didn't know what to say. She didn't know how Li Hao had reached the rank of Sergeant Major; perhaps he had gained recognition in the Judgment. With his strength, it couldn't be said to be impossible. There were rumors that he had been taken a fancy to by Princess Hermia and was on the path to becoming a live-in son-in-law. Dita definitely didn't believe that; with A Youyou around, he wouldn't have the guts to be unfaithful even if he were lent the courage.

But this was too exaggerated. There were many Orc powerhouses ranked far higher than him, and it was equivalent to drawing all the hatred onto himself. Did he not want to live?

But Li Hao was not a reckless person. She was a bit confused and hurriedly went to call A Youyou. She wanted A Youyou to persuade Li Hao to think it over carefully. At this time, the only person who could persuade Li Hao was probably A Youyou.

A Youyou was also worried, but she didn't interrupt at this time. Li Hao must have thought it through very clearly. Everything they thought of, there was no reason for Li Hao not to know. Going to talk now would only be a hindrance.

"Wow, wow, A Youyou, your little man is a bit reckless. Even the number one on the Heavenly Ladder wouldn't dare to be this arrogant. Orcs are a very troublesome group; they are just like jackals," Haila laughed. She had already obtained more certain information; A Youyou's true identity was basically confirmed, but it couldn't be said yet. She had to pave the way for her brother, and it would be best if the distance could break the two of them apart, saving her from being the villain.

"Second Brother must have a reason for doing this." A Youyou understood what Li Hao wanted to do, but with her current power and vision, she could not evaluate the risks involved.

The Judgment Saint Song, which was closest to Li Hao, also became lively all of a sudden. The one who made the move was the rising star of the Judgment Saint Song, Sergeant Major Li Hao. Actually, there were many people discussing it; it was rumored that he had defeated Dao Chai Ku, causing Dao Chai Ku to fall from the Heavenly Ladder. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came up, he launched another interstellar missile, bombing the Orc group.

Defatandisi and Ning Long also saw it. They also didn't expect Li Hao to perform such an act. Of course, it was a good thing, letting the Orcs weigh Li Hao's value so that his subsequent role could be arranged. Some things they couldn't come forward for could be handled by using him.

Haosen and the others also noticed. The moment Li Hao became a Heavenly Ladder Sergeant Major, he was actually a member of the Judgment's top-tier combat power. But in the eyes of Haosen and the others, this Human was a bit arrogant and ignorant.

This kind of direct, naked targeting of a species—anyone with a bit of vision and political sense wouldn't do it. At least in the last hundred years, it hadn't happened. It was equivalent to saying that the name Li Hao was now on the blacklist of the entire Orc world. Not to mention whether he could leave the Judgment alive, even if he could, he would have to be careful wherever there was an Orc force in the future. The funniest thing is that he wasn't even in the ruling class of the Human group; he was equivalent to someone else's wage earner. I really don't know what he was thinking.

The result was predictable. How could the Orcs endure it? They swarmed over, frantically entering the challenge queue.

Almost as soon as it was set, Li Hao began to fight. A level 20 Orc Sergeant Major couldn't wait to come up and throw his life away.

Li Hao decided to continuously pressure the Orcs during this period until they didn't dare to show their heads, attracting their attention to the Judgment. At the same time, he would kill the chicken to warn the monkey; as long as the Orcs dared to come, he could destroy all the Orcs' core strength in the Saint Song.

The first Orc came up and announced his name. For an Orc, killing Li Hao wasn't the goal; making a name for himself was. The Orc burned his Universe Power and roared as he charged at Li Hao, then took a huge slap to the face on the spot, then flew out like a spinning top. He flew very far, his neck twisted, and he fell to the ground unconscious.

"Next!" Li Hao clapped his hands. The title of Heavenly Ladder Sergeant Major was still very useful; otherwise, even if he hung it up, no one would pay attention. Sweeping away all the small ones—he didn't believe the big ones wouldn't come out.

Following that, three consecutive opponents were Sergeant Majors around level 40. They believed that at the same level, Orcs were always more advantageous than Humans, but the result was that not a single Orc lasted more than one move under Li Hao.

Li Hao was not polite; he wanted to snipe his opponents efficiently. The only thing he could ensure was that he wouldn't die in battle; as for whether the opponent died in battle, that was none of his business.

In the Saint Song Expedition, casualties are not excluded, but it is extremely targeted toward those who kill for the sake of killing, and it requires the judgment of the Mechanical Race.

Li Hao didn't know where the limit was, and also to play the long game, he wouldn't kill them directly in battle, but with his Spirit power infiltration, it would probably be hard to fully recover without a few months.

Orc Warriors came one after another, and they also felt that Li Hao was stupidly fighting continuously. Every battle consumes physical strength and Universe Power, and maintaining the Celestial Armament also consumes energy. He was so "desperate" that there would always be a time when he couldn't fight anymore. As long as he was fighting, it was the Orcs' opportunity.

Faced with huge fame and profit, the Orcs' greed would also turn into courage.

However, Li Hao's winning streak continued, and this challenge also attracted huge attention from the initial liveliness. Warriors from various Saint Songs who had finished their expeditions also came out to watch one after another. They all thought Li Hao would stop after beating a few; after all, they were only level 40 Sergeant Majors, like grains of sand in the vast Starry Sky.

But this seemed to be a slightly different grain of sand, a bit hard.

Broken arms and legs—this wasn't intentional; such minor injuries recover too quickly. Li Hao was destroying internal organs as much as possible. If any arms or legs were damaged, it was purely collateral damage.

In one hour, ten consecutive wins, ten Orc Sergeant Majors were swept away, including a level 45 Heavenly Ladder Star Sergeant Major. At the same time, it also brought Li Hao's Sergeant level to 41.
