Chapter 120: Missing Two Orcs

Yingzhou watched the Orc troops converging toward his position, after having ordered a portion of the artillery to open fire on the Orcs advancing toward him.

He then had the Krieg soldiers begin to intercept the Orc advance at the front; after all, the enemy's numbers were too great, and charging would consume too much of his Spiritual Power.

Upon seeing that the number of masked Two-legged Sheep was not large, Ade gave a disdainful, cold snort.

"Hmph! You dare to harass us with just this many? Even if you have artillery, it's useless! Press forward! Tear them to pieces!"

A group of Orcs opened fire on the Two-legged Sheep intercepting them at the front, and continuously used rocket launchers to fire at the ruins.

With hissing roars and explosions, these Orcs were continuously shattered by artillery fire, but the Orcs behind them quickly rushed up again.

This reckless advance soon brought the Krieg soldiers and these Orcs into close-quarters combat.

An Orc had a 45-centimeter-long bayonet thrust into its throat; then, with a twist of the bayonet, it was sliced out along the side, and the Orc's head, still attached by some skin, fell heavily to the ground as blood gushed out.

It was only with the help of two Orc warriors that Ade managed to hack the head off a masked Two-legged Sheep holding an entrenching tool.

"Is what Oulong said true? The physical fitness of these Two-legged Sheep is even better than those guarding the Inner City, and their combat awareness is very strong! How on earth did they train these soldiers?"

Ade shook the blood off its battle axe and looked at these masked Two-legged Sheep in confusion. The most absurd thing was that the enemy artillery fire hadn't stopped! Your comrades are here! Can't you see them?

Furthermore, small waves of Two-legged Sheep were still charging here! They engaged in close-quarters combat with these Beast Race warriors without a hint of hesitation; it took two to three Beast Race warriors to kill one masked Two-legged Sheep, and they had to ensure these Two-legged Sheep were completely dead.

Because just a moment ago, a masked Two-legged Sheep had been cut in half at the waist, yet it still detonated a hand grenade, dragging several nearby Orcs to their deaths together.

Ade couldn't understand it; these masked Two-legged Sheep were lunatics, thorough lunatics, and so were the artillerymen firing the guns!

It had never seen Two-legged Sheep that would start shelling before their own comrades had retreated, nor had it seen Two-legged Sheep that would charge forward even when they were clearly in the shelling zone.

An explosion suddenly occurred not far from it, taking the lives of dozens more Orc warriors.

For the first time, Ade felt a chill in its heart toward a group of Two-legged Sheep on a close-quarters battlefield.

They were too abnormal; they were different from every Two-legged Sheep it had ever seen!

Their rate of advance had slowed down quite a bit, and the number of Two-legged Sheep constantly filling the battle line was so many that it couldn't count them anymore; it seemed to stay at around 200, yet it never dropped.

"Damn it! These lunatics! Why do they keep rushing to their deaths! What are they thinking! Don't they know that charging up here is a dead end?"

Just as Ade was distressed by the difficulty of the advance, a wave of heat suddenly came from behind. Looking back, it saw the entire Orc Base Camp already engulfed in raging flames, accompanied by continuous explosions and the brief wails of Orcs burned by the fire.

"What... what is going on!" Just as Ade was bewildered, a sharp whistle sounded in its ears. It looked back and saw a Two-legged Sheep, taller and stronger than itself, charging toward it while holding a weapon that looked like a chain saw.

This time, Ade didn't dare underestimate this Two-legged Sheep. It activated the rune pendant on its neck, and as a blood-red light flickered, it felt its body fill with power; only then did Ade swing its battle axe at the Two-legged Sheep.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, Ade saw its own body being sawed into two segments; its perspective began to spin, and it finally collapsed into a pool of blood.

Defeated in a single blow? This Two-legged Sheep...

Ade's consciousness blurred, and then it sank into darkness.

Yingzhou brandished his chainsword; by this time, the artillery fire had moved forward to avoid Yingzhou being within the shelling range, and he was followed by a group of Catachan toughs who had returned to report to him.

Upon seeing the Beast Race Base Camp detonated, Yingzhou took the Catachan toughs who had just returned to report, and with his chainsword, he hacked the leader-like Orc to pieces; its head rolled on the ground twice.

Mailun had originally felt that the plan for tonight was proceeding very smoothly; a breach had already been opened in the Inner City gate of the Two-legged Sheep, and all that remained was to detonate it once more to expand the breach, giving the Two-legged Sheep in the Inner City one more place to defend.

Moreover, the Two-legged Sheep troops harassing him had appeared, and he had already sent several Orc units to deal with them; surely it should be over by now, right?

Thinking of this, Mailun couldn't help but nod to himself; as expected of the method he devised, it was foolproof!

Meanwhile, in the Base Camp not far from Mailun, several Krieg sappers were methodically installing explosive devices.

The Task given to them by the Emperor was one they had to complete beautifully.

The day of loyal service has arrived; atonement is today!

A burst of footsteps suddenly broke the silence here; the Krieg sappers quickly merged into the darkness, watching the location where the sound came from.

Two Orcs wearing rune bulletproof armor were seen walking side by side, arriving at a corner to start urinating.

The Krieg sappers didn't make a sound, watching every move of these two Orcs. When they finished and were about to leave, one Orc suddenly saw some things added to the side of the tent; it walked up curiously and said to its companion.

"What is this thing? Have you seen it before?"

The other Orc squatted down, identified it carefully, and shook its head, saying, "I don't know, but there must be a reason it was placed here. Let's hurry back to the patrol; maybe the Two-legged Sheep's Inner City will be taken tonight."

What they didn't know was that the Krieg sappers in the darkness didn't know what these two Orcs were saying; seeing that these two Orcs had discovered the explosive devices they hadn't had time to hide, they felt a sense of foreboding.

The Krieg sappers quickly made a few gestures, and after confirming, they began to slowly approach the two Orcs, their entrenching tools already gripped in their hands.

Just as the two Orcs were about to leave, one Orc's throat was pierced by a bayonet, blood gushing out along the wound; the other Orc hadn't even reacted before its head was sliced off by an entrenching tool.

The two Orc corpses fell, and blood was slowly spreading on the ground.

These Krieg sappers didn't delay; after getting the detonation device ready, they escaped into the shadows and into the dug tunnel.

At this time, upon discovering that two Orcs were missing when a patrol squad returned, Oulong immediately grabbed the Captain of the patrol squad and asked, "Why are there two warriors missing from your squad? Where did they go?"

The Captain of the patrol squad immediately replied, "Lord Leader, they went to the latrine; they should be back soon."
