Chapter 136: Pursuing the Beast Race
With the disappearance of Maike, the surrounding Beast Race quickly discovered that the Rune Power of their banners had vanished, and the amplification was gone as well.
"Lord Leader! What should we do? It seems something has happened on Lord Maike's side!"
A Beast Race warrior said to Cidu while bowing.
"I know. We have lost the guidance of the Priest, and it must be chaotic now. If you want to preserve your strength and come back for revenge later, follow me now!"
Cidu's voice was very soft at first, but it grew louder and louder, and in the end, the Beast Race warriors nearby all heard it.
With the command of the Camp Leader, the Beast Race warriors still fighting broke away from the battle one after another and began to retreat outward.
After Xindi chopped off the head of a Beast Race warrior trying to flee, she looked toward Yingzhou and discovered that the figure of the Beast Race Priest had already disappeared.
"He took out the Beast Race Priest! Warriors of the Human Alliance! The enemy's Priest is dead. Do you see those Orcs fleeing? Their hands are stained with the blood of our comrades, the blood of the Outer City civilians, and the blood of our fellow Humans! Now, it is time to settle the debt!"
Two Prowler Tanks fired at the fleeing Beast Race warriors, blowing those escaping Beast Race members away.
However, Maike's guards showed no intention of retreating. After seeing their Priest disappear, they understood their fate, so they fought the surrounding enemies even more crazily.
But, because most of the Orcs had begun to retreat, these Orc Guards were submerged by the Krieg soldiers, the Catachan toughs, and the Human Alliance soldiers, soon becoming corpses on the ground.
"Strange, how did they know something happened to the Beast Race Priest?" Flicking the blood off his Chainsword, Yingzhou looked suspiciously at the retreating Beast Race.
However, now was the perfect time to pursue the Beast Race. Yingzhou gave an order to the Krieg Commissar, and the Krieg Commissar solemnly took out the Charge Whistle given by Yingzhou.
Accompanied by the shrill whistle, the Krieg soldiers began to pursue the retreating Beast Race.
"If the Beast Race doesn't send reinforcements here, we have basically defended it. I don't know why the Beast Race withdrew a large number of troops after taking the Outer City; they seemed to leave in such a hurry."
Xindi limped to Yingzhou's side at this moment and said with great emotion.
"This is just the beginning. There must be survivors on the Beast Race side. I once saved a group of survivors in the Ninth Defense Zone; they had runes similar to a Slave Mark on them. After leaving a certain distance, they would age rapidly and become a corpse."
After a pause, Yingzhou continued.
"However, the survivors in the Outer City before should not have been branded with runes by these two Beast Race Priests in time, but it is uncertain for the survivors who have been gathered together now."
After hearing Yingzhou's words, Xindi nodded, "Good, I will notify the people below to pay attention."
Yingzhou also recalled the Krieg Artillery and said to Xindi, "I am going to pursue those Beast Race members as well, trying to make them all stay here."
Hearing Yingzhou's words, Xindi was dazed for a moment; he remembered that Kelin seemed to have said something before.
Yingzhou's goal was not just to repel the Beast Race's siege, but to drive the Beast Race out or even wipe them all out here.
Watching Yingzhou's retreating back, Xindi muttered to himself, "Kelin really guessed it right; this kid's goal was this from the very beginning."
Cidu led a group of Beast Race warriors and some Priest Apprentices to run toward the Outer City gate.
"Damn it! I've never seen such crazy Two-legged Sheep!"
As he spoke, he looked back and found that those masked Two-legged Sheep were still in hot pursuit, with Laser Beams hitting the Beast Race warriors running at the back.
At this time, several Priest Apprentices passed through the crowded beast herd and came to Cidu to say.
"Leader Cidu, we are about to reach the Outer City gate now. We will set up a Rune Teleportation Array at the Outer City gate in a moment. Although the two Priests have sacrificed themselves, we, as Priest Apprentices, can set it up by working together. We hope you can lead our warriors to block these Two-legged Sheep for a few minutes."
Cidu looked at the hundreds of Two-legged Sheep still pursuing from behind and nodded.
"Fine, three minutes, we will only block them for three minutes."
"That will be enough."
Soon, the retreating Beast Race troops arrived at the Outer City gate. Amidst the broken gate and flies buzzing everywhere, Cidu shouted to the Beast Race warriors behind him.
"Our Priest Apprentices are going to set up a Teleportation Rune in the back. We must resist the attack of the Two-legged Sheep here for three minutes. Although there are only a few hundred of them chasing us now, there are definitely more Two-legged Sheep behind. We only need to block them for three minutes to leave here! When we return next time, we will surely bathe this place in blood!"
After hearing Cidu's words, the surrounding Beast Race warriors began to look for cover and opened fire on the Krieg soldiers charging from behind.
The charging Krieg soldiers kept returning fire at the attacks of these Beast Race warriors, but their footsteps did not stop, charging forward one after another.
But Cidu had only fired a few shots when he saw that behind those charging Two-legged Sheep, there were other Two-legged Sheep wearing masks, driving vehicles similar to tanks.
But they did not continue to push forward, instead stopping to adjust the angle of their cannons, which caused a sense of foreboding to rise in Cidu's heart.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
As the Rune Bullets landed on their side, the Beast Race warriors who had just hidden behind cover were either turned into powder along with their cover or were blown to pieces, with blood flying everywhere.
Cidu's face was grim. He looked at the Priest Apprentices busy setting up the Rune Teleportation Array in the back and shouted loudly, "Are you done yet? The heavy firepower units from the other side are here; if we don't leave now, we really won't be able to get away!"
The Priest Apprentices there did not respond to Cidu's shout, not daring to stop the movements in their hands for even a second.
Cidu watched as the number of Beast Race warriors following his retreat plummeted from over two thousand to over 800, with 700 warriors still resisting.
Just then, the Priest Apprentice over there shouted, "It's ready!"
Seeing that the teleportation array condensed from Rune Power had been set up, those Priest Apprentices shouted to Cidu and then entered the teleportation array without looking back.
"Damn it, retreat! We are entering the teleportation array too!"
Cidu shouted to the Beast Race warriors who were still struggling to resist. Upon hearing that they could retreat, these Beast Race warriors began to retreat without looking back.
Immediately after, as the Beast Race warriors retreated, the sound of hooves came from behind them, and Hunting Spears pierced into the bodies of the Orcs, followed by explosions.
Many Beast Race warriors were knocked flying by the tall and strong warhorses and then trampled into meat paste.
Hearing the sound of bones breaking behind him, Cidu looked back in front of the Rune Teleportation Array and saw 35 masked Two-legged Sheep riding horses, scattering the Beast Race warriors who were running at the back.
Although he was very angry, Cidu still turned and entered the Rune Teleportation Array.
There were not many warriors left on his side now; retreat first, and as for these Two-legged Sheep, he would definitely take this revenge in the future!
