Chapter 408: All Maike's Fault

"This Two-legged Sheep is quite sturdy; I wonder how its strength is?"

The Orc Rune Warrior charging at the very front saw a Two-legged Sheep on the city wall, wearing green Armor and slightly shorter than itself, climbing onto the arm of a Stone Giant, and it was holding a Greatsword similar to its own Biting Battle Axe.

This made the Orc Rune Warrior feel very annoyed. Could these pathetic Two-legged Sheep only imitate weapons created by Orc Priests? Truly pathetic.

As the distance between the two sides continued to close, this Orc Rune Warrior even heard this Two-legged Sheep growling something.

"Bathed in the fires of war, forged on the anvil of battle!"

The Orc Rune Warrior raised its Biting Battle Axe and let out a roar.

"What are you jabbering about! Die!"

Just as the Biting Battle Axe was swung down fiercely with a sharp whistling wind, the Two-legged Sheep in front suddenly moved! However, the bloody scene expected—where this poor Two-legged Sheep would be split in two by an axe and blood would splatter everywhere—did not happen as anticipated.

On the contrary, this Two-legged Sheep displayed extraordinary attack speed, so fast that the Orc Rune Warrior could not make any effective reaction at all.

In an instant, the Orc Rune Warrior only felt that the Biting Battle Axe gripped tightly in its hand had hit some kind of incomparably hard object. Before it could figure out what was happening, a crisp and chilling cracking sound echoed in its ears—that was the sound of the Rune Armor on its body being shattered!

A piercing, bone-deep pain suddenly struck from its throat, spreading rapidly like a raging fire.

Its vision began to shift and rotate uncontrollably; the scene before its eyes filled it with terror. It discovered that where it had been standing, a headless body lay in a pool of blood! The Biting Battle Axe had also broken into two pieces, lying quietly to the side.

At this very moment, only one thought remained in the Orc Rune Warrior's mind: Why? Why could the weapon held by that seemingly ordinary Two-legged Sheep so easily and forcibly snap its Biting Battle Axe? And why was that Two-legged Sheep's attack speed so fast?

Judging solely by appearance, although that Two-legged Sheep was tall, it was definitely not weak. By common logic, a creature with such a build should have relatively slow movements. But the fact was the exact opposite; its attack speed was simply as fast as lightning, making it impossible to guard against!

Watching its own headless corpse getting further and further away, the Orc Rune Warrior's consciousness gradually dissipated, and its final perspective froze amidst a pile of corpses, among which were those of Two-legged Sheep and Orc warriors...

Although Huokan did not know what that Alien, slightly larger than himself, was roaring about, Huokan did not care. After chopping off the head of the Orc warrior wearing Rune Armor with one sword strike, the Chainsword in his hand began to swing continuously.

Huokan even delivered a flying kick, knocking down quite a few of the charging Orcs, and relying on his superhuman physical fitness, he blocked the path these Aliens wanted to take up the Stone Giant's arm; it could be said that one man held the pass, and ten thousand could not get through.

"My god, how is this done? Isn't this too strong?"

These Human Alliance soldiers, upon seeing Huokan continuously hacking and killing with the Chainsword in one hand, while occasionally throwing punches with the other, directly caved in the chests of the Orcs, along with the Rune Armor on the Orc warriors' bodies.

With Huokan blocking the Orcs from rushing up, the few Human Alliance soldiers also quickly shattered the Rune Power on the Stone Giant's palm.

"Huokan, there's no problem here anymore! You can come back!"

Hearing this news, Huokan threw a Fragmentation Grenade directly at the charging Orc warriors and then turned to leave.

The Stone Giant's arm began to collapse. Huokan saw one of his brothers running on the other arm of the Stone Giant. Feeling the arm beneath his feet collapsing, Huokan leaped with all his might and jumped onto the city wall before the Stone Giant's arm fell apart.

"Are there still situations where these Aliens climb the city wall?"

Just as Huokan was asking these Human Alliance soldiers, bolts of Psionic Lightning destroyed the Runes on the Stone Giants near Huokan. The Stone Giants began to collapse, and the Orcs on the Stone Giants had long since been charred by the previous Psionic Lightning, falling to the ground like dumplings and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Huokan saw a Grey Knight wearing Holy Shield Power Armor releasing psionic spells on the city wall, destroying the Stone Giants one by one.

"By Lord Vulkan's order, Taigehe'er and I will destroy the Runes on those giants; you eliminate the Aliens on the city wall."

Dabeiwenqiao, with the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in hand, chopped down several Orc warriors and came to Huokan's side to say this.

"Alright, I understand."

Within the Beast Army.

Dawuqi, seeing the Stone Giants he had sent charging toward the city wall being shattered by bolts of lightning, saw his originally calm and composed demeanor become somewhat stiff. An Orc Myriarch came before Dawuqi and, after bowing respectfully, said.

"High Priest Dawuqi, those Two-legged Sheep—a group of Two-legged Sheep wearing green Armor appeared out of nowhere. They are powerful, and our warriors simply cannot charge up. Please give the order for us to retreat and regroup first."

Dawuqi looked at the Myriarch before him, then looked toward the rear where the Rune Automatic Cannons had gone silent again. Feeling a surge of anger burning in his heart, he could only grit his teeth and say.

"Let our warriors retreat! Regroup for now; in any case, those Two-legged Sheep have also suffered significant losses. Taking the Fourth Defense Zone is only a matter of time."

Upon hearing Dawuqi's words, the Orc Myriarch said excitedly.

"Yes! High Priest Dawuqi!"

Not long after, that Beast Army, whose offensive was already slightly sluggish and lacking momentum, began to retreat rapidly after receiving the order to withdraw.

Leaving behind a scene of devastation on the battlefield, a thick, bloody stench permeated both above and below the city wall.

Looking out, one could see piles of incomplete corpses lying in disarray outside the city. Among these corpses were Human soldiers, ferocious-looking Orc warriors, and some that were left with only body parts. The entire battlefield had turned into a living hell, unbearable to look at.

Dawuqi looked at the retreating Orc warriors with a gloomy face, having already cursed that fellow Maike many times in his heart.

At this moment, another Orc Priest holding a staff came before Dawuqi and asked.

"Dawuqi, what is going on? Why were the warriors who had clearly climbed the city wall beaten back by those Two-legged Sheep? If High Priest Wali finds out about this, how are we supposed to explain it?"

"Diwanhu, for this we must find Maike. The Rune Automatic Cannons on his side only fired two rounds of shelling. This disgrace to the Orc Race must be discussed with him properly! It cannot affect the plan to attack the Fourth Defense Zone!"
