Chapter 622: The Killing Intent Brought by a Loan

There was still an hour left, but the Orcs who had been coming wave after wave just moments ago suddenly vanished; the queue of at least several thousand, which had been there before, had all been canceled, who knows when.

Orcs are greedy, not stupid; they had already sniffed out that something was wrong. Multiple Sergeant Majors of various types from various war zones, all above level 40, had been beaten down in level. This was no longer a level that ordinary Sergeant Majors could touch. The nature of the Orc is selfish; once the gains and the costs were out of proportion, they all quit.

Li Hao watched the time pass minute by minute and became unhappy. He had thought the Orcs would swarm in like a tide, coming wave after wave, fearless of death, and bury him with human-sea tactics. It was too disappointing; this effect was far from enough. Damn it, he was fighting on credit.

At this moment, a massive, war-zone-wide announcement appeared again, hanging with a huge banner: "I am the father of all Orc Sergeant Majors. If you aren't convinced, come and fight."

Light flickered in Kashika's mechanical eyes; this timing should be just right, it should be able to save him a few.

The Orcs at the Anthem Centers of various war zones were cursing and swearing, but they were all Sergeants or Anthem Warriors. Orcs are an exceptionally strange group; they are excited even while cursing, because the target was no longer them anyway. Since it wasn't their father, it wasn't their responsibility; the person was challenging Sergeant Majors.

"These stupid nobles are too weak. They rely on their noble status to snatch the best resources, but when it comes to honor, they can't stand up." The Orcs were filled with righteous indignation, and the surroundings were full of people watching the spectacle.

Meanwhile, the attention of other civilizations toward Humans was also rising in a straight line; at least it was no longer the look of watching ants or bumpkins.

Li Hao felt a bit of heartache; another 1 million gone, damn it. Have these Orcs all lost their sense of shame?

He truly didn't believe that those Star Sergeants hanging high on the Heavenly Ladder would just watch. If they really didn't dare to come, the status of Orcs in the Anthem would plummet. Orcs in the Star Alliance were all shameless, but they were still needed in the Anthem. The Shengge System was the game rules of the Celestial; if Orcs wanted to gain benefits within it, they had to play by the rules. Other races were the same; Insectoids, the Mechanical Race, and so on all had to comply.

Now that a Human wanted to step on all the Orcs, if they could endure this, Orcs would never need to hold their heads high as Orcs again.

Sure enough, this banner had an immediate effect. Three Heavenly Ladder Star Sergeants arrived immediately, at levels 45, 46, and 48. They were still ahead of Li Hao in level. Being able to reach this level meant they were all Orc Warriors of the Star Alliance's S-Grade Sacred Song, as well as Elites and future leaders heavily cultivated by the Orcs. They were all born from the great nobles of the Lalutu Empire, generally tall and strong, with thick, sharp fangs, and totems tattooed on their faces like ghost charms.

They wanted to endure it, but they really couldn't. These Orc nobles had already integrated the civilizational characteristics of the Celestial. If this were left to continue, wouldn't they really have gained a father?

Then they encountered the most unprecedented trauma of their Orc lives. To deal with these higher-quality ones, Li Hao changed his strategy. He no longer played the "slap-in-the-face superman," but instead adopted a strategy of luring the enemy deep, letting the Orcs exert their full strength and constantly consume themselves. Just as they seemed to see victory, he would strike with both hands, reshaping their faces with slaps, a dual annihilation of spirit and flesh.

When the level 48 Star Sergeant was slapped away and fell down spinning in place using the same technique, the Orcs watching at the various Anthems were no longer howling. This one was the son of a great Leader, and he had been beaten by his new father until even his old father wouldn't recognize him.

By this moment, Li Hao's behavior had completely caused a sensation in the Anthem. This was already the combat power of the top 30 on the Heavenly Ladder. Plus, Orc Warriors all had some minor flaws and were actually quite annoying; Li Hao's boldness instead aroused a lot of goodwill. This was an unexpected harvest. Ordinary people usually didn't bother with Orcs; these "scoundrels" were annoying, but when someone stood up to them, giving a thumbs-up was always acceptable.

It had been a very, very long time since such a fierce newcomer had appeared in the Anthem.

The early days of the Anthem could be called the Warring States period, but as it developed to this day, no one would force themselves into a dead end. If Li Hao acted this way, one day, others would do the same to him, unless he was truly invincible.

But invincibility does not exist. The Star River World never lacks geniuses, and there are peerless prodigies, but their final ends are never very good. Individual power is insignificant in the Anthem. Under normal circumstances, one must rely on families and organizations to have a chance to grow step by step; otherwise, they will all disappear instantly at some juncture.

Even the Emperor Augustus of the Ozil Empire, the fiercest in the last fifty years—at that time, Augustus was truly unrivaled in the limelight. But behind him was the Ozil Empire, and even so, what people remembered was not how fierce he was in the Anthem, but his ability to pick up girls and his off-field scandals. At the same time, Augustus would never do such a thing.

Li Hao could be called the number one person in "courage" in the Anthem in recent decades. Orcs have extremely strong reproductive power, even fiercer than Insectoids in this regard. The ones with strong reproductive power among Insectoids are the soldier bugs; the number of core Insectoids is limited. In these years of peace, Orcs have spread across the Star River in a terrifying way, doing all kinds of things. The Lalutu Empire is a third-tier civilization, but its power is the strongest among the third-tier; it is not inferior to some second-tier civilizations. There are many other factors why a civilization cannot advance, but the Orcs don't care at all; what they want is benefits.

Li Hao's behavior of drawing aggro didn't attract much attention at first, but as the wave of thirteen consecutive victories continued, the flavor changed. Moreover, because it attracted the attention of numerous Anthem Warriors, the Orcs could no longer pretend not to see it, especially those few Orc Warriors at the highest positions in the Anthem. Li Hao's "map cannon" was aimed directly at them.

The three people who were drinking happily just heard the noise outside, something about Li Hao, something about Orcs, and only then did they remember that they were missing one person while they were drinking.

"I don't know, how long has it been... I'm taking this seriously."

"So satisfying! If one day I could also be this free and easy in my grievances, how great would that be!" Kuta was genuinely envious. This was the life he wanted, but he lacked the strength.

Aoliweina and the others were also watching. Originally they were in a dance class, but soon the girls all stopped, one after another discussing what kind of background this Human had. He looked quite handsome, too. Fighting Orcs—almost everyone except the Orcs felt it was a righteous act. Coupled with his Celestial appearance, it was easy to win goodwill.

Helena's expression also changed. Her first reaction was that this person was courting death. It wasn't questioning his strength, but questioning his lack of reason. Her judgment had always been that Li Hao was a deep-thinking powerhouse; how could he do something so irrational? It was satisfying, yes, but how would he end it?

Helena had a slight headache, but from another perspective, this might also be a way to gauge Li Hao.

Aoliweina also saw it and found it unbelievable. A Human—but she did not approve of such reckless behavior. It looked like he was hogging the limelight, but in reality, the future troubles would be endless. He felt like a completely different type from Kuta, and she didn't know how the two of them could have such a good relationship.

Throughout the entire battle, A Youyou, Depuya, Maxis, Chao Qinglong, Ye Tong, and Dita were all watching, exceptionally excited. They knew Li Hao too well; this time, his move was likely carried out with a strong sense of purpose, and perhaps... it wasn't simply targeting the Orcs, but they couldn't guess Li Hao's thoughts at all.

Top experts like Maxis were actually very confident. During this time in the Anthem, after cultivating the Tyrant Body, they didn't think Human combat techniques were inferior. The difference was just that the intensity of their Universe Power was not enough, and there were some additional abilities and characteristics that needed to be explored as the Universe Power grew stronger. At the same level, they feared no one; they just didn't possess Li Hao's vision and courage to despise the Star Alliance.

Basta was silent for a while. "Perhaps it is time to let these aliens witness our power."

The words of the two big shots left the others in a silence. This, could it be that the two of them...

Maxis, Basta, and Chao Qinglong were the three chariots of Humans fighting in the Anthem, and also the backbone. Although they were a low-tier civilization, the Anthems they were in did not have malicious incidents targeting Humans, but it wasn't entirely due to the Anthem atmosphere.
