Chapter 405: Maike's Thoughts

The Beast Army outside the city wall.

Dawuqi looked at the Two-legged Sheep on the Fourth Defense Zone Outer City Wall attacking the Stone Giants, a look of disdain appearing on his ugly face as he spoke to the Orc guard standing beside him.

"Look at this group of pathetic Two-legged Sheep; we of the Beast Race have only just gotten a little serious, and they are already in a panic. I believe that before dawn, we will be able to breach the Fourth Defense Zone and feast on the Two-legged Sheep there. In these few years, they should have added quite a few little lambs."

Hearing Dawuqi say this, the Orc guard beside him could not help but swallow his saliva, a trace of fresh red still on his two exposed Liaya, and he said respectfully to Dawuqi.

"It is all thanks to the three Priests taking action, making the resistance of these Two-legged Sheep seem so insignificant."

"Hahaha, that is only natural. This time we will certainly take the Fourth Defense Zone! How is the charging of the Rune Automatic Cannons for that fellow Maike coming along? Tell him to keep firing. Once the Stone Giants create the conditions for the follow-up troops to scale the wall, issue the order for the Rune Warriors to take the Beast Race warriors and charge up to slaughter all those resisting Two-legged Sheep."

Dawuqi was clearly very pleased with the Orc guard's flattery, and after laughing a few times, he gave the order to the Orc guard.

"Yes! This subordinate will go notify Lord Maike immediately!"

After this Orc guard left, Dawuqi's gaze turned back to the battlefield, and with a wave of the staff in his hand, another batch of Stone Giants approached the Fourth Defense Zone under his control.

"I want to see how Longyou can hold out!"

At the same time, Maike was directing a group of Priest Apprentices to infuse Rune Power into the Rune Automatic Cannons, when a Priest Apprentice said to Maike.

"Lord Maike, we have clearly finished loading, why not fire at the Two-legged Sheep's city wall immediately?"

Watching the sand-grain-sized Stone Giants in the distance advancing toward the city wall, Maike replied in a calm tone.

"Do not ask what you should not ask; just do as I say."

This Priest Apprentice immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

Maike narrowed his eyes slightly, but in his heart, he was full of dissatisfaction with Dawuqi and Diwanhu, who were leading the team this time.

When those two fellows were infusing the Stone Giants with Rune Power, they mocked him! Having lost his Orc body, he was already very sensitive to topics of this type, and they had actually said to him: "Oh, isn't this the only Priest of the Beast Race using a Human body? Why didn't you die in the Fourth Defense Zone? You truly have shamed the Beast Race."

At the thought of those two fellows' ugly faces, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Maike's narrowed eyes.

The culprit behind all this was that Two-legged Sheep! However, he was certainly no match for that Two-legged Sheep right now, but he could let those two fellows go and test that Two-legged Sheep's strength first; perhaps he could even pick up the scraps.

"Lord Maike, Priest Dawuqi asked me to bring you a message: have the Rune Automatic Cannons fire immediately after they finish charging."

Just then, a deep voice came from behind Maike. This made Maike frown slightly, but after turning around, he looked at the Orc guard before him with a calm expression and spoke.

"Go back and tell Priest Dawuqi that the Rune Automatic Cannons will naturally fire once they have finished charging!"

As he spoke, Maike waved his arm, and the Rune Automatic Cannons, which had already finished charging, fired once more. Blue Rune Energy Shells were launched along the barrels, streaking across the night sky in rays of blue light, quickly hitting the city wall and engulfing many of the City Defense Cannons and soldiers who were resisting on the wall, leaving not even a complete corpse behind.

Seeing the scene of Maike directing the Rune Automatic Cannons to fire, the Orc guard silently cursed Maike in his heart, but on the surface, he bowed respectfully to Maike and said.

"Since I have delivered Priest Dawuqi's message, Lord Maike, please continue; this subordinate will return to report."

Maike looked at the Orc guard who was turning to leave and suddenly spoke.

"Go back and tell Dawuqi to be careful; a Two-legged Sheep with a physique significantly stronger than the other Two-legged Sheep might appear in the Fourth Defense Zone. His strength is very great."

The Orc guard curled his lip inadvertently, his disdain for this Beast Race Priest who had been scared out of his wits by a Two-legged Sheep growing even more, and he turned back to bow to Maike and said.

"Lord Maike, this subordinate will certainly tell Priest Dawuqi your words exactly."

"Hmm, go."

After this Orc guard left, a faint, imperceptible sneer appeared on Maike's face, and he shouted to the Priest Apprentices who were charging the Rune Automatic Cannons.

"After the Rune Automatic Cannons finish charging, wait a few minutes before firing. This is to allow the Rune Power to become stable and avoid a barrel explosion."

The Priest Apprentices who were infusing the Rune Automatic Cannons with Rune Power replied in unison.

"Yes, Lord Maike."

When the Orc guard relayed Maike's words to Dawuqi, Dawuqi laughed disdainfully, looking at the Beast Race Rune Warriors who had already climbed the city wall along the Stone Giants, and said in a contemptuous tone.

"No matter how strong they are, can they be stronger than our clan's Rune Warriors? They are just Two-legged Sheep with slightly stronger physical constitutions. Maike has truly shamed the Beast Race. Once we take the Fourth Defense Zone this time, I must suggest to High Priest Wali that Maike be kicked out of the position of Priest; he is not worthy."

The Orc guard replied respectfully.

"The Lord is right; Maike is simply a disgrace to the Beast Race!"

Fourth Defense Zone Outer City Wall.

The defensive point where Xindi was located was hit by a Rune Energy Shell, and the defensive point was directly collapsed, burying Xindi and the Human Alliance soldiers inside.

Xindi only felt a wave of dizziness, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he found himself being painstakingly dug out of the ruins by several Human Alliance soldiers wearing Individual Combat Armor.

After his consciousness gradually cleared, Xindi immediately looked around; thick smoke was billowing, flames were soaring into the sky, and there were broken stones and fractured steel beams everywhere.

Many Human Alliance soldiers were busy shuttling back and forth, using all their strength to rescue their comrades who were pinned down by the collapsed buildings one by one. Some of the wounded were lying on the ground groaning in pain, some had already lost consciousness, and others were taking up weapons to resist the Beast Race warriors who had climbed onto the city wall.

Xindi was anxious, and he grabbed the soldier beside him who was helping him stand up, asking with a trembling voice: "The Beast Race... what is the situation with the Beast Race's attack?"

The Human Alliance soldier whose arm was grabbed by Xindi looked urgently at the Beast Race Rune Warriors who were beginning to climb onto the city wall in the distance, and spoke in a hurried tone.

"Chief, the Beast Race has already begun to climb onto the city wall one after another. Among them, there is a new type of Orc wearing Rune Armor; their figures are unusually tall, about 2.6 meters, and their strength is extremely powerful. Our brothers' attacks cannot break their defenses at all!"
