Chapter 117: Night Raid of the Beast Race

Orc Base Camp in the Outer City.

In his tent, Mailun assigned each Camp Leader the tasks they needed to perform.

"The troops attacking the wall must keep the attention of those Two-legged Sheep fixed on the wall, so that our teams blowing up the gate can get close to the Two-legged Sheep's Inner City gate."

Standing opposite Mailun, the Camp Leaders, including Cidu, Ade, and others, received their orders and said, "Understood, we will definitely keep the Two-legged Sheep's attention locked firmly onto the wall."

Mailun then said to Duolaigai, "Duolaigai, take your subordinates and set up ambushes for our warriors in the several areas around us; as soon as any Two-legged Sheep appear, smash them to pieces for me!"

"Yes! This time, I will definitely find those Two-legged Sheep's heavy firepower units!" Duolaigai lowered his head to accept the order, his voice deep.

Finally, Mailun looked at Oulong, who had been keeping his head down and silent, and said solemnly, "Oulong, I do not want to see any Two-legged Sheep troops appearing in our camp again. I have also sent you reinforcements; do not let me down."

"Yes! I swear on my head, if I see those Two-legged Sheep troops, I will wipe them out directly!"

Mailun withdrew his gaze and said loudly, "Go back and prepare; wait for my signal."

Mailun walked out of his tent, looked at what the Two-legged Sheep called the Inner City under the moonlight, and muttered to himself, "Come! Come quickly! I must dig out your secrets!"

As he spoke, the staff in his hand emitted a blood-red light, and at the same time, the flags he had refined also emitted a blood-red light, the Blood Runes upon them flickering with intense radiance.

After leaving the Giant Cedar District, Yingzhou kept the Krieg Commissar he had redeemed by his side, briefly recounted the day's battle, and finally asked, "Do you have any thoughts?"

This Krieg Commissar had not expected Yingzhou to ask him this question, but he quickly gave his answer.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I believe that after the day's fighting, those Orcs will certainly be on guard. If we are to strike the Orcs again tonight, I suggest we change direction."

Upon hearing the Krieg Commissar's words, Yingzhou nodded, "The same as what I was thinking! Let's do it!"

Yingzhou and the Krieg Commissar moved quickly through the night with several Krieg soldiers.

Upon reaching the south side of the Orc Base Camp, Yingzhou saw some Orcs hiding in the ruins in the darkness, likely to prevent a repeat of the situation from earlier in the day.

At this moment, the corners of Yingzhou's mouth curled up slightly, and he immediately summoned 12 Catachan toughs, ordering them to split up and eliminate the ambushing Orcs.

These Catachan toughs moved skillfully through the shadows and soon found the ambushing Orcs.

These Orcs were all wearing Rune Bulletproof Armor, and their weapons and equipment were more refined than any Orcs encountered during this period; these Catachan toughs had only seen such equipment on the bodies of those Orc Camp Leaders.

However, even the trickiest protection has points where weaknesses are exposed. These Catachan toughs clearly divided the work, confirmed their hunting targets, and drew their black War Blades.

These Catachan toughs moved in unison to the backs of their prey, their strong arms pinning the Orcs, while the other hand quickly plunged the Dark Night Reaper into the Orcs' throats.

The stabbed Orcs tried to struggle, but were held firmly by the powerful arms of the Catachan toughs and soon lost all movement.

Under the cover of night, these Catachan toughs harvested the lives of the Orcs.

Until the last Orc had its neck pierced by the Dark Night Reaper wielded by the hat-wearing Catachan tough, the hat-wearing Catachan tough suddenly remembered what Yingzhou had said when he killed an Orc directly, and he followed suit.

"Don't be nervous, dizziness is normal, take a deep breath, that's it!"

Seeing this, the expressions of the other Catachan toughs became somewhat strange. On the way back, one Catachan tough said to the hat-wearing Catachan tough.

"Boss, who did you learn that line from? It feels really interesting."

This sentence caused the other Catachan toughs to also cast their gazes toward their boss.

"Ahem, this is something Lord Emperor once said. As expected of the Emperor, this line, combined with the scene just now, felt so satisfying to say!"

The other Catachan toughs nodded thoughtfully and committed the line to memory.

Upon seeing these Catachan toughs return, Yingzhou efficiently recalled them first.

He summoned 30 Krieg sappers again and gave them a task: to place Demolition Explosives in every camp within the entire Orc Base Camp.

These Krieg sappers did not hesitate for a moment and quickly followed Yingzhou's orders to begin digging tunnels to enter the underground of the Orc Base Camp.

"This time, I'll blow your base camp to pieces, let's see how you attack the city now!" Yingzhou muttered to himself in a low voice.

Fourth Defense Zone Inner City Wall.

After a morning of fighting during the day, many soldiers had found random places to rest, with only a small number of soldiers observing the movements of the Beast Race outside.

"I wonder if the Beast Race will launch a sneak attack on us tonight; we've already lost quite a few brothers today."

"Don't think about that. If the Orcs launch a sneak attack, we'll just beat the hell out of them; killing even one more is a profit."

These two soldiers crouched on the wall, looking at the hazy darkness outside; the faint light cast by the moon did not provide them with much visibility.

"You two, pay attention while on guard! Although the Beast Race didn't gain any advantage today, we cannot slack off; the Inner City must not be lost again!"

When the two soldiers saw that the person who arrived was their Captain, they quickly said, "Don't worry, Captain, we'll definitely be fine!"

Just then, the Captain seemed to hear messy footsteps coming from below the wall. He looked down, and although it was pitch black below, the flags flickering with blood-red light appeared exceptionally glaring in the darkness.

"Beast Race! It's the Beast Race! They are preparing to attack!" the Captain shouted loudly.

Immediately, the soldiers on the wall perked up, and soon, several Illumination Flares were shot into the sky, lighting up the area under the wall that had previously been dark.

As the darkness dissipated, the soldiers on the wall tightened their expressions. It was another large group of the Beast Race, but this time they had experience and began to prepare their means to deal with the Orcs' attack.

Under the wall, inside Xindi's tent, Xindi's Guard ran into the tent in a hurry and said quickly, "Chief! It's bad! The Beast Race is preparing to attack again!"

Xindi, who had been feeling a bit sleepy, was jolted awake. He quickly stood up from his chair, walked out of the tent, saw the Illumination Flares rising outside, and ordered the Guard beside him.

"Notify all soldiers to enter combat status; we have no rest left."

"Yes!"
